IOWA BIRTH RATE DECREASE
Statistics Compiled by State Officials
Shows Fewer Births Last
Year.

Statistics being prepared by the
state board of health for the bian-
NAL report, indicate that there were
4,212 fewer births in Iowa ia 1915
than in 1914.
All but fourteen counties showed
more births in 1914 than in 1915.
The total for 1914 was 44,21a. For
1915 reports show 10000 births.
Officials who have studied the re-
ports are interested in discovering
whether it is birth control or mac
curacy of the county officials in col
lecting birth statistics which is re-
sponsible for the showing.
The counties which reported an IN
creased number of births were:
Chickasaw, Clinton, Crawford, How
ard, Ida Iowa, Johnson, Lucas, Pot
tawattamie, Sioux, Union, Wayne
Winnebago Woodbury.. Reports
from Polk, Grundy and Clayton lave
not been received by the state board.
To complete the table, the same NUM-
Der of births were credited TO these
counties in 1915 as in 1914.

Decorah Bakers Raise Price

Two of the DEBORAH bakeries, H.
NJ. McReynolds and Alstad & Jansen
will increase the cost of their five
cent loaves Of bread to six cents and
the sandwich or hotel loaf will be in
creased to IL cents. The regular ten
cent loaf will not be increased and
the bakers urge the purchase of these
particular loaves. They are forced
to raise, they say, because every in
gredient has practically doubled.
Guess we will have to go back to the
days of mush and milk if the raises
keep coming. But the bakers are
not to blame, and they have to get a
living price or quit business.

Hurrying home young Lewis told Of
what had happened and DR.. J. A. Wark
was called to the house. He found a
rather deep wound Just back of the left
ear, where the shot had ploughed a fur
row under the scalp. The little fellow
suffered considera bly, from loss of blood,
but no untoward Developments are ex.
pected.
Police headquarters was notified of the
shooting and Officer J. S, Murley went
to Nelson street to investigate. What
people in that vicinity told him about
promiscuous shooting with the air rifles
indicated that the casualty list of one is
all out of proportion to the amount OF
shooting that has been done. The rifles
are not lacking in power and residents
have been muched annoyed by having
bullets buried in their front doors and
window sashes.
