MRS. LOUIS PETSCH
SERIOUSLY INJURED
Hit by an Automobile While
Crossing the Street.

Monday afternoon while au-
tomobiles were racing to and
from the ball grounds, Mrs.
Louis Petsch started to cross
the street near her home, when
she saw a car coming towards
her at a good rate of speed. She
turned to go back when a car
coming from another direction
struck her. She was knocked
down, and judging from the con-
dition of her clothing, she must
have been dragged considerable
distances. Her body is covered
with bruises besides suffering
two broken ribs, a dislocated an
kle and a severe confusion on
the side Of the head. Her condi-
tion is serious.

Business Men Decide

Thursday night a large and en-
thusiastic crowd of business
men met in the directors room
of the Traders Bank and decided
"A carnival, stock and poultry
show was the subject which
brought the hustlers together,
and let be said, that when that
bunch is once aroused, some of
them can't be skined for service
anywhere in the State of Mis-
souri,. But, to return to the
subject, it was decided-The
meeting was replete with en-
thusiasm, good fellowship and
such other things characteristic
of a meeting of this kind, and
it was decided-The meeting ad-
journed after a while and every
one went home thoroughly con-
vinced that whatever was decid-
ed must have been a foregone
conclusion.

The lamentable accident Mon
d ay Whereby Mrs. Petsch
was seriously injured, is one
that is liable to happen in Lex
ington any day in the week I'M
less there is a positive reform
in speeding on the streets of
Lexington. One healthy, un-
broken body, one sweet curly
haired youngster is worth more
than all the time one can hope
to save by driving a car on the
streets beyond absolute
control. Be careful. Your first
consideration should be t h e
safety of those who walk. Any
one is liable to become confused
when there are cars tearing at
you from different directions.
and its no credit to a driver to
smash up some one because
THEY were confused. Life is
sweet to all of us, even if we do
have to walk, and it should be
the first care of every one to pre-
serve 1t.

Injured in Runaway.

Thursday morning while
Mrs. Gotlieb Spring was on her
way to the Albert Fry farm
near Winton, her horse became
frightened at the engine work
ing on the Dover road, and ran
upon a bank, upsetting the bug
gy and throwing her under
meath. Besides painful bruises,
she suffered a broken rib. Her
daughter, who accompanied her,
was also painfully bruised. They
were brought to their home on
Taylor avenue and medical aid
summoned. It was thought at
first that Mrs. Spring was IA
tally injured, but after recover
ing from the shock, her condi-
tion improved and a speedy re-
coyery is anticipated.

Sedalia a; Grays 2.

Too much Taylor and not e.
nough Caldwell, sums up the
proceedings in the game Mon
day between the Sedalia Cubs
and the Lexington Grays. Tay-
lor won his game by keeping the
hits scattered; Caldwell lost by
allowing hits when hits spelled
runs. The first inning showed
Caldwell at his best, for with
two men on and nobody out, he
retired the side without a score.
The fourth was the one luscious
inning for the Grays. With the
aid of a bone on the part of the
Cubs right fielder, the Grays
put over two runs. The Cubs
scored one run in each of the
fifth, sixth, seventh and ninth
innings. Sedalia made seven hits
and Lexington five. Caldwell
passed three and hit another; !;
Taylor made them all hit.
The game was well patronized,
and though we were defeated,
we were far from disgraced. The
attendance was about 14OO.

OBITUARY
DAUBERSMlTH

Alice May Plopper was born at
GAINESVILLE, MINI, December rs, 1880.
At the age of five years she came
with her parents to Cresco where al
most her entire life has been spent.
She received her education in the
public school here from which she
was graduated in 1898. During the
next two years she taught school
successfully in the western part of
the county.
On July z, 1900, she was united in
marriage with Frank A. Daubersmith
who was at that time engaged in
business at Albert Lea, Mimi, where
the first year of their married life
was spent. From there they returned
to Cresco where they have since liv-
ed. For a number of years she has
been a patient sufferer, and has
bravely fought for life for the sake
of her home and the lit
tie children that are now left
without the loving care of a de-
voted mother. Her weakened condi-
ton caused by constant suffering and
pain made it impossible for her to
withstand an attack of la grippe.
During the forenoon of Monday, May
Sd, she fell into peaceful sleep
from which during the late afternoon
she joined

The affairs at the state capital often
appear to be in condition less credi-
table than one might desire. The Sec
rotary Of state recently has shown re-
/ markable elaboration in sending out
1915 auto numbers. Recently q man
named ]. H. Blunt was arrested at
Hawkeye for running without 1916
number. He had sent his money for
bis 1916 number quite while previous
y. Mr.. Blunt refused to pay his fine
and telegraphed the secretary Of state
IN regard to his trouble. His majesty,
TIE secretary, telegraphed back:
Auto plates viii, be sent in .
few days. Tell authorities to release
you. /"
Secretary Allen certainly isn't at all
deficient in old army mule nerve-"tell
authorities to release YOU" When in
trouble, gentle reader, ''tell authorities
to release you"
Now honestly, gentlemen, isn't it as
tonishing what fifth and sixth class
work and what childish remarks these
Republicans can get away with, here
In Iowa? Whoa, there! Don't get excit-
ed. This isn't election year, and what
you think about the question won't
make votes" in 1916. But really
isn't it astonishing that they can put
over" the things they do-and
nobody says anything. And secretary
Allen is in line with Republican prec-
edent when he delays auto numbers to
his hearts content, and then when his
victims get into trouble about it tele-
graph them tell authorities to re-
lease you.
(P. s. 1t has just occurred to US
that secretary Allen may have been
unable to get out the auto numbers on
4 account of spring seeding on the ST.
600, 600 eighty" surrounding the state
eapital.)

in the silent halls of death. !"

She leaves home, saddened by
her absence, a loving and devoted
husband and two children, Donald
aged ten years, and Beulah aged five.
One other little one preceded her
mother in death. She is also mourn
ed by her mother, Mrs. Margaret
Plopper, two brothers, Stephen and
George, of Elma, and sister Estel-
la of Des Moines.
From an early age she has been a
loyal member and an active worker
of the Cresco Baptist church. A
true Christian spirit has dominated
her life, and has been manifested
in her unselfish helpful devotion to
family and friends, and in her cheer
full, happy sunny disposition.

TO SAVE THE cHlLDREN's TEETH
CrescO Dentists to Cooperate With
Public School Officers in This I'm.
pOrtant Work.

The Cresco Public Schools are
starting a campaign for better teeth
To make this work successful, i,
| was necessary to get the approval
and cooperation Of the dentists OF
the city. That has been done. Drs
Allen, Clemmer, Damon and Feuline
have all agreed to give their assist
ance to this movement. Their spirit
in this manner has been very COM
mendable and Cresco should be proud
of the fact that her dentists so readily
responded.
The following letter will be sent to
each parent 1t is the hope of the
board of education that the parents
will respond as well as they have in
the past.
To the Parents:a
The important part the mouth and
teeth play in the development and
maintenance of strong and healthy
body is so little understood by the
public generally that it is deemed
wise to call the attention of the par
ents to some of the facts.
Practically all the germs produc-
Ing the infectious diseases of the body
such as measles, whooping cough,
diphtheria, scarlet fever, pneumonia,
tuberculosis, ETC., find their breeding
place in badly kept mouths and de-
cayed teeth
The mouth is the gateway to the
body, hence the necessity of keeping
it clean and wholesome.
Many of the backward children, be-
hind in their grades, owe it to badly
decayed teeth and uncared for mouths
If the teeth cannot perform their
function it is impossible Tor the child
to have good digestion, and, as a
result, is poorly nourished. A poor
ly nourished body and keen, recep-
tive mind are seldom companions.
The dentist, more than anyone. re-
alizes how futile are his efforts to
save the teeth of the people unless
he can secure their assistance in try
ing to prevent their destruction by
decay through proper brushing and
cleaning.
An effort is being made to have a
statewide examination Of all the
school children's mouths and teeth
that the parents may be informed OF
the condition existing and take pre-
caution to prevent the Wholesale de-
struction now going on not only in
Iowa but in every state. 6
In a few days examination charts
will be sent you and we ask that you
take or send the child to the dentist
of your choice to have an examina-
ton made. The defects found will be
noted on the chart and returned to
you for your information. This will
entail no expense on your part as the
entire dental profession of our state
have agreed to perform this service
free, for the information of the par
ents and the benefit of the children
