George Chester Dilsaver.
George Chester Dilsaver, Sc

George Chester Dilsaver, second
son of jeremiah and Malina Dllsaver,
was born in Hopeville, Iowa, Sept. 8,
1856. At an early age the family
moved to a farm near Garden Grove.
Later the family moved to the land
just west of Weldon creek, about a
mile from Garden Grove and here he
spent his early life learning the ma
sons and plasterer's trade from his
father.
On November 80, 1884, he was
married to Laura Rosengrant. TO
this union were born four children,
Mrs Bessie Gray, Misses Kate and
Airline Dilsaver, who survive him and
daughter Helen, who died in infan-
cy.
To large circle of friends he was
always known as Chet. a man or
very even temperament, industrious,
and of a most kindly and sympathet-
ic nature, always ready to help his
friends and with a good word for ev-
cry man.
Practically every brick building in
Garden Grove represents Mr.. Dllsav-
er's handiwork. For a number OF
years he operated a brick and tile
paint where he has given employment
to many men all of whom speak OF
him as a kind good man to work for.
Failing health compelled his retire
ment from active work. During the
last few months of his life he went
west hoping to regain his strength,
but failing in this he returned to the
family home in Garden Grove last
February, where he resided until
death called him, July 3, 1916. Mr.
Dilsaver, early in life, became men,
Der Of the NJ. E. church and had al
ways eXemplified a true christian
character, living life of usefulness
and unselfishness. He was also a
valued member of the Masonic fra
ternity. He leaves four brother, one
of whom was present at the funeral,
Oliver, of Kansas. He has been a
very useful citizen, devoted husband
and kind and indulgent father and a
loyal true friend and will be greatly
missed in the community.
Funeral services were conducted at
the home Wednesday of last week by

About Our Presidents.

Woodrow Wilson is a school teach
er and affiliated with the Presbyter-
ian church Charles Evans Hughes
is a lawyer and atiiliates with the
Baptist church. Should he win the
first Baptist to hold that Office. An
eastern magazine writer has been
making study Of the American pres
idents and their beliefs. There have
been eight Episcopalians, seven Pres
Dyterians. four Methodists, two Dutch
Reformed and four Unitarians.
Thomas Jefferson, the founder of the
democratic party called himself lib
eral in religion, but his political and
personal enemies said he was an ath-
eist. Jefferson was powerful cham
pion of civil and religious liberty and
of the education of the masses.
The Episcopalians made their big
presidential record in the early days
of the republic, while the hold of the
church of England was strong.
Garfield was ordained as a preach
err in the Church of the Disciples.
Hughes would make the twentieth
lawyer to occupy the White House.
Only eight presidents so far have not
been members of the bar.
Eighteen of our presidents out of
the twenty-seven were college men,
and as Hughes was graduated from
two colleges, he will strengthen the
forces OF the sheepskin holders.
Hughes is a member of the Delta
Epsilon, Greek letter fraternity, as
was Garfield.

when he succeeded Mckinley, and he
was our youngest president. ''Tippe-
canoe" Harrison was g..
Hughes is ten years younger than
his running mate, Charles W. Fair
banks.
All our presidents, except two
Van Buren, and Roosevelt-were of
British extraction Jefferson, how
ever, was the only Welchman, and
Hughes ancestry also goes back to
Wales.
The father of Justice Hughes was
a clergyman. Three Of our presidents
Wilson, Cleveland and Arthur
were sons Of preachers.
If you want your son to be presi-
dent you had better buy farm. An
even dozen presidents were sons OF
farmers, and farmer boys beat all
others in the race to the White
House.
Lincoln was the first president to
wear full beard, but since his day
Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Arthur and
Harrison have worn extensive facial
adornments. Hughes has plenty of
precedents in his aversion to patron
iZe razor.
The nomination of Hughes proves
once more that the best stone to
the presidency is governorship.
Wilson, Roosevelt, Mckinley, Cleve-
land, Hayes and Johnson were state
governors.

Des Moines, July 6.--"The public
of Iowa has been educated as much
as it is necessary on the subject of

need be no fear of an epidemic of

the average doctor. there should be
no trouble in diagnosing the disease.
He said that the symptoms are head
aches, high fever, and partial paraly-
sis, especially of the limbs, and that
these symptoms in child are al
most certain indications of this dis
ease"
In 1910 infantile paralysis APP
peared in epidemic form in Iowa, he
said. During that year it was general
all over the country, especially in
Massachusetts, Nebraska, and Mime
sofa. At that time careful study
was made of the disease by the Iowa
state board of health and bulletin
describing the disease was issued,
which has become an authority on the
subject.
There were GOA cases of the dis
ease in Iowa and 100 deaths resulting
from it in 1910. A careful study was
made and the bulletin issued contain
ed definition of the disease, and
gave list OF the symptoms, the his
tory and recommendation for treat
ment. 1t was sent to all physicians,
nurses and embalmers in the state
and was scattered broadcast. Over
10000 copies were printed in three
editions"
