POPULATION GROWING
Birth Rate in County Shows In
crease for this Year.

Births in Mahaska county are on
the increase according to the annu.
al birth record just prepared at the
office of the county clerk to be sent
to the State Department of Vital
Statistics. There were 452 births In
the county during the year 1913 as
compared with 445 in 1912. The re-
cord is compiled by the clerk from
the annual reports of the township
assessors.
A peculiar feature fthe report is
the tact that there we're over TWEEN
ty more boys born in the county
during tie year than there were
girls. In most places the girls out
number the boys. In Mahaska county
there were 237 boys born during the
year and only 215 girls. In 1912 also
the boy babies outnumbered the girls
but not to such an extent as last
year. In 1912 there were 225 boys
and 220 girls. Comparing these figur.
es with those of the past year 1t
would seem that births are rapidly
increasing as to boys and slowly de-
Creasing as to girls. 1t is hardly prob
able, however, that anyone will wor.
ry mucL about our county becoming
an exclusively masculine community.
In the city of 0skaloosa there

WEEDS MUST Be CUT
Attorney General Cosson Will En-
force the State Law.

Attorney General George Cosson is
preparing to supervise the enforce
ment of the Iowa weed law which re-
quires municipal and township Off
GERS to destroy all weeds between
July Is and August Is.
The weed law was new last year
and 1t took some time for the attor-
ney generals department to instruct
the officials in the working of the
statute. With one years experience
the department of justice will expect
better results this year in Kidding he
state of the noxious growth
The law requires owners of proper
ty to destroy all weeds growing Oh
their premises before they come to
maturity, and to cut all weeds grow
ing in the streets and highways ad-
joining the property, between July Is
and Aug. Is
If weeds are permitted to grow so
as to interfere with travel, to make
passage on walks difficult, or so as to
interfere with road or walk repairs,
the measure provides that persons an
noyed may file a complaint with the
township trustees, or in cities, with
IhO ClIS
Having received a complaint, it is
necessary for the township trustees
or municipal officers to make an in
vestigation. The inspector must serve
notice on the property owner to cut
the weeds within a certain length of
time. If the owner fails the officials
must order it done, the cost of the
work, the inspection and serving OF
notice to be assessed against the pro
perty.
The expense of SUCH work may be
charged to the road fund. If the funds
are exhausted, the money may be
borrowed by the issuance Of bonds,
the bonds to be redeemed when the
special assessments are paid. Any
trustee or municipal officer who fails
to enforce the law, or to carry out
its provisions may be arrested and be
assessed a fine not to exceed 500.
The weed nuisance is said to be
causing a large amount of inconven'
fence in several parts of the state.
The weeds are said to be as far ad;
vanCed ahead of the season as the
Iowa corn Is. Many sections OF the
state probably will welcome the en-
forcement of the weed law.
The Oskaloosa herald., 1914-07-23

Don't fail, if he shows signs of eX-
haustion, to give him an half-hour's
rest.
Don't fail. if exhaustion continues
to battle his entire body with water.
Don't fail, in extreme cases, to
apply ice to the head and ice water
to the body, so as to reduce the
temperature.
Don't lash your horse when he is
doing the best he can.
Don't lash him at any time. He'll
do better if you are kind to him.
Don't swear at him. Profanity is
never commendable.
Don't forget that he is sentient
being, and can feel either the lash of
your whip or of your tongue.
Don't forget that he is a faithful
servant, and use him as such.
Don't hesitate about employing
veterinary aid when your horse is in
danger.
Don't take advice from the man in
the crowd who knows it ALL and is
always on hand.

CAR GOES into DITCH
Another is Overturned and One
Man Badly Hurt.

Three young men from Pella and
two Oskaloosa young ladies, narrow
ly escaped serious injury and posi-
bly, death shortly after seven O'CLOCK
last evening when the automobile IN
which they we're riding turned tur'
tie into a ditch near the Elm Grove
school house on South Market street
extension. There is a culvert at the
point where the car overturned and
the driver, in attempting to pass an
other car coming from the opposite
direction, misjudged his distance and
the outside wheels missed the Gull
vert. causing the car to overturn IN
to the ditch. Luckily, 1t caught on
small elm tree, and was left suspen'
ded a few feet above the occupants,
who were thrown below into the
ditch. Had the space been clear,
! there is little doubt but that the
young people would have been crush
ed under the car AS 1t was, they
escaped with a few minor bruises
while the car was badly damaged,
having the top and windshield brok'
en- and the front axle sprung. The
car was a Ford belonging to the Nc.
Intire Livery Co., OF Pella, and had
been hired by the young men 70
drive to Oskaloosa. They we're en-
route to Eddyville when the accident
occurred.

RAILROADS BOTH

Commerce Commission Com
pIeteS the Rate Decision.
FLAT INCREASE is DENIED
Raises on Class Frelghts Allowed
That Will Amount to $t5yooo,0oo
AnnuaiIy-Flnaneial MiSman-
aqement and Waste Scored.

Washington, July 20.-The finish
ing touches to the FIVE per cent rate
increase decision were made at meet
ing of the interstate commerce COM
mission today. The decision will prob
ably be made public Tuesday.
The decision is both favorable and
unfayorable to the railroads.
A measurable increase in class rates
is granted. --..
No increases whatever are allowed
on commodities. s..
No fiat five per cent increase is
granted on any commodity or upon
any class rate.
TO that extent the decision will be
sweepingly unfavorable to the car
riers. ....gt......
Increases in class rates amounting
to $4,000, 900 annually are authorized.
To that extent the decision will be
favorable to the roads.
Economies which will save the east
ern lines probably s25.0oo,ooO a year
are insisted upon by the commission.
The financial mismanagement Of
many of the lines will be cited as
reason why efficiency and economy
must take the place of added revenue
from rates.
Extravaaance 10 Condemned.
Extrayagance and waste in the pur-
chase of supplies are condemned by
the commissioners.
The roads are rebuked by the COM
mission for an attempt TO create
public sentiment In favor OF an in
crease.
ANY increase, the commissioners
will say, higher than that allowed in
the forthcoming order would fall upon
the consumer and the consumer viii
be warned against any dealer who
charges more for his goods by reason
OF the decision.
These in general are the big and i'm
portant phases Of the commissions re-
port as printed. But few II any
changes will be made before it Is given
out. An increase possibly may be al
lowed on two commodities, but hardly
upon more.
Commodities Rule Hits Roads.
Specifically, the commission has de-
MED all increases whatever to the rail-
roads upon commodities. This is nat
uraIIy blow TO the carriers.
Eighty per cent of the trafic OF the
transportation lines involved consists
of commodity freight-that is, freight
that moves in bulk and usually in car
load lots.
The commodities which the commits
sion has declined to order advances
upon as cited in the printed order are
as follows,
Coal, Coke. ore, limestone, sand,
gravel, plaster, cement, stone, lumber,
other forest products, tiles, brick, clay,
paper in pulp, ice, -four, grain and pc
troleum.
In addition to this list the commits.
sion has refused all advances on the
so-called rail-and-lake rates. The rates
apply on freight that is shipped partly
by steamer on the great lakes and
partly by rail. 1t consists mainly OF
ore, coal and grain, though there are
many other commodities that move by
that route.
