DAY IN DA NEWPORT

City Will Buy Pair of IsIands.-The
city of Davenport, after great deal
of deliberation and discussion, has
finally determined to purchase Maple
and Willow islands from w. d. Peter
sen, same TO be used as a part of the
new levee park system. City Attor-
ney Carl Lambach before departing
for Baltimore yesterday stated that
he had drawn up an ordinance for
presentation at the next council meet
ing, by which the city will be author
lied to enter into a contract with Mr..
Petersen for the purchase of same.
The purchase price amounts to $500,
with interest at per cent from Jan.
l, 1913. Mr.. Petersen has agreed to
dispose of the islands at cost. They
are situated close to the Iowa shore
in the west end of the city. AT a re-
cent council meeting Mr.. Petersen
gave the city an option on the islands.

IF a teacher is married to a man
who has a lot of money there is no
reason why she should not teach in
the public schools, even if she be-
comes a mother, so far as the city is
concerned. I do not see why a teach
er should be discharged because she
becomes a mother. The efficiency of
that teacher might be impaired for a
time, but certainly not permanently.
In a statement issued at her home
ir Tottenville. l.. l., last week Mrs.
Wagner said:
ct seemS to me the board is in
great haste to get rid of another
teacher who has committed the
crime of motherhood. l have been
absent from school eight days, and
ordinarily a teacher may have ten
days of unexcused absence.
AS far as going back Monday is
concerned, / am physically fit to do
so. Since Monday of this week l have
been caring for my baby and myself
and doing my homework, unaided -
cept for two hours in the evening.
One member of the board is quoted
as saying that l jeopardized my life
and the life of my baby by my inhu-
man conduct before its birth.
This board is encouraging deceit,
lying, immortality and race suicide by
its policy. The board does not con-
slider at all the question of efficiency

New York, Nov. 1.-THE New York
board of education's time honored Gus
tom of discharging teachers in the
public schools for neglect of duty
when they give birth TO children is
about TO be abandoned. The credit
for this turn of affairs is largely due
10 Mrs. Lora Wagner, the teacher who
stuck TO her post until almost the day
of her baby's birth Her unusual
course created a great deal Of COM
ment in New York, and the most of
this comment was uncomplimentary to
the board of education. Now, two
weeks after her child's birth, Mrs.
Wagner wants her job back. She will
probably get it.
There is no occasion for uneasi-
ness on the part OF teachers who
have been suspended or ordered dis
charged because they stayed away
from school to become mothers de-
clared Mayor Mitchell, commenting
on the suspension of Mrs. Wagner.
Il imagine the board will come to
some conclusion that will provide for
leaves of absence" continued the
mayor. These charges made by the
board must not be taken as that body's
ultimate disposition of the case. l am
going TO Look at this question as one
who has the welfare of the city at
heart. I consider solely tae efficiency
Of the teacher.

SAVE The HOG IN
COUNTY OF SCOTT
Federal, Iowa and Local Au-
thorities Unite in Expert
ment Across River.

The United States government,
through the department of agriculture,
has picked Scott county. Iowa, as the
one place in the entire country to con-
duct an experiment of national i'm
portance to the stock raising industry
Absolute eradication of hog cholera
and of the foot and mouth disease,
should the latter crop out in any way,
is the purpose of the experiment. The
department has been fighting cholera
for years, and has now determined to
wipe it out of one small locality and
then tell the other agricultural coun-
ties of the nation how it was done and
what the actual benefits are.
DIR. A. II. Logan, cholera expert of
the department of agriculture, who
held a conference with President A. F.
Dawson of the Scott County Farm
league Saturday, is in charge of the
experiment. Beside the federal au-
thorities the Iowa State college at
Ames and the state veterinarian will
assist in the movement
Every case of cholera is to be elm
mated and all farms where it has
been will be cleaned up and disin-
fected. To do this an organization
known as the Scott County Save the
Hog association" has been formed.
Cooperating with this will be the Dav-
export Commercial club and the
Greater Davenport committee. DIR.

Death of Horse May Mean Arrest
Humane Officer A. ID. Fleu, assisted
by the police, is Investigating the cir
cumstances surrounding the death of
a horse at the corner of Fourth and
Scott streets yesterday, as result OF
which it is likely that information may
be filed with Police Magistrate Louis
E. Roddewig, charging cruelty to ami
mails. 1t is stated that the horse fell
down at the corner of Fourth and
Scott streets early Sunday morning
and was dragged into a vacant lot be-
hind a billboard. 1t was alleged that
the animal, which was sick and help
less, was left there all day Sunday
and all of that night, exposed to the
cold, and without even a blanket to
protect it from the chilly blasts. Ear
ly yesterday morning the animal died.
Veterinary Surgeon Thompson was
called on the case, and is said to have
given his opinion that death was due
to exposure. The authorities are max
