IOWA.

Iowa has the richest people per
capita in the world. Iowa travels
more, reads more newspapers, SUBJ
scribes for magazines, and maintains
more lecture courses per capita than
any people in the world. The advance
to Iowa lands during the decade ev-
erybody is discussing has been with
out precedent, and men who ten years
ago were struggling for foothold
are today retired and living On their
incomes.
There are lot Of things that
ought to be done to make Iowa an
ideal commonwealth. But it is we'll
Ito remember that the further we
progress, either as individuals or as
a state. the more we can see that
needs to be done.
Nobody in Iowa lives farther than
ten miles from railroad station-in
only one or two counties is anybody
so remote as that Every acre or
land in Iowa can be broken and farm
ed. At the experiment station 1t mas
been found that no fertilizer will add
anything to the producing power OF
Iowa soil properly rotated with clov-
er and run over with manure
spreader.
A rich soil and rich people. That
is Iowa 1t is a healthy sign that no.
body, even under such conditions, is
satisfied to settle down and quit work
or even quit worry.

GIRL KILLED IN
AUTO ACCIDENT
Big Touring Car Runs Against Tree,
Wrecking Car, Killing One of the
Occupants, Injuring Several
Others Near Ossian.
OCCURRED NEAR
WM. MULLANEY RESIDENCE
Car Rolled Over Three Times Going
Distance 81 y Feet After
Striking Tree.

Monday night about eight o'clock
a fatal automobile accident occurred
at Ossian in front of the VIM. Null
.aney residence. A party composed of
Mr.. a1d Mrs. Theodore Hauck
daughter Emma and son Harry, of
Davis Corners, near Cresco, and Miss
Edna Omoth, of Lime Springs, were
returning home from a visit near
Postville.
The son was driving a big Buick
Six. AS we understand it he met an
other automobile at about the spot
where the accident happened, and
in attempting to pass the Houck car
against a big tree right at the edge
of the road We understand the car
was going at good rate of speed and
when it struck the tree it turned over
three times and went a distance Of
81 y feet before it came to a stop and
in attempting to pass the Hauck car
the daughter, was thrown out Of the
car and was instantly killed. The
mothers right side was crushed in
and several ribs we're broken and the
father suffered several broken ribs,
besides other injuries The son, who
drove the car, suffered a cut on the
head, and the young lady, Miss
Omoth. who sat in the front seat with
the driver escaped practically un-
hurt
The injured people were taken to
the hospital at Cresco on the early
morning train Tuesday.
! Mr.. Hauck is man perhaps 60
years of age and his wife, perhaps "a
fe@ years younger. AS we understand
| it the " are farmers living nine miles
| from Cresco.- ------
The report came to'Decorah that
two cars were racing when the acci-
dent happened, but this apparently is
untrue. Both cars were going in the
same direction and the Hauck car
came up suddenly behind the other.
The people in the head car evidently
didn't know the accident happened as
they kept going on their way.
The injured people are now in the
hospital at Cresco. 1t was reported
yesterday the mother had died also,
but we don't believe the report is
true.

A Legs a Leg.

The Freeman-Tribune doesn't like
the policy Of the government paying
higher pension to one class of SOL
diers for the loss of an arm or leg
than it pays to another class for the
same loss. The loss Of leg to a
private means just as much to him as
the loss of a leg means to an officer,
and the private should receive the
same monthly remuneration. The
general is paid salary ranging all
the way from $4,000 to $4,000 per
year, little enough, we are sure, II
he is capable, but he is paid for his
ability while in the service, and If he
loses leg he shouldn't get a cent
more in pensions than the private
who is fighting for $50 month gets
when he suffers the same loss. In
fact, the loss to the private. figured
from his ability to make living, Is
the greater of the two. The general
ought to be able to make liveli-
hood without manual labor, and 1t is
the rule that he does. Hence, 80 far
as the money consideration is con-
cerned, he is not affected so greatly
by the loss of leg as the less capa-
BILE private is by similar loss. Yet
the government pays the general a
much higher pension for the same
disability. This is not democratic ana
the law should be changed.-Web-
