Loss In Population.

scribed independently of the remain
der OF the state, so that the booklets
could be used for local as well as
state advertising.
The suggestion that the governor
appoint a commission TO study the
causes Of loss Of population and to
recommend a remedy was also made.
Adjutant General Logan states that
the loss OF $1,000 fighting men in the
last two years, or $4,000 In the last
five years, is serious situation, for
the $4,000 represent good strong
healthy men whose services are need
ed to help build up Iowa. All OF
these men were between IS and As
years OF age and we're ablebodied. A
loss OF this number of toilers repre-
sents a far greater loss than simply
a falling off of population OF $4,000.

Death at Crossing
Taking the position that a railroad
crossing Is place of danger and
pedestrians must use extraordinary
care to avoid passing trains, the su-
preme court found that the c., NJ. &
St p. Railway company is not liable
for damages for the death OF Mrs.
Mary A. Bussler. prominent society
woman Of Perry, who was crushed
under the wheels OF an engine on the
First street crossing the evening OF
Nov. 8, 1912.
The court says: "a railroad cross
approaching It is bound to exercise
reasonable care and discover the ap-
proach OF trains and to avoid injury
and to use the senses OF sight and
hearing. When, as here, It Is known
to be placed over which many trains
pass daily. the degree OF care must
be with the added hazard"
