port for Third Month.

The secretary of the state board of
health reports upon the large total of
2,207 deaths in the state of Iowa dur
ing the month of March. 1t may be
taken for granted that this number is
approximately correct The thing
that would have made the report real
ly valuable would be a report upon
the births for the same month. HaV-
ing both reports for a series of
months and years, some interesting
comparisons might be possible. The
state board hopes to get that report
of the births some Of these days.
The greatest number claimed by
any disease during the past month

County Has 1854 Autos.

Hamilton county has 1,054 autos
and it is not stated that Hamilton
county has gone auto-mad, either. Nor
is anybody Gliding the farmers nor
the city folk in Hamilton county for
their reckless expenditures. when
they purchase motor cars. For in a
very large number OF cases these cars
soon pay for themselves. The people
of Iowa are not becoming a race of
Joy riders, but we are the same in
dustrious, hard-headed folk as OF yore
and the auto is simply an aid, a time
saver for very many busy folk.

Girl Has Fine Record.

Gladys Owens, of Logan, holds an
attendance record that will be hard
to beat She graduated at the head OF
her class in the Logan high school and
had been neither absent nor tardy
during thirteen consecutive school
years. Yes, that is a fine record. But
It proves many things that may not
be apparent at the first glance. Thus
conditions at home must be very fav-
orable, so that no exigencies could
arise which would have made ID nee
cessary for the girl to remain at
home.
