MRS. CAROLINE LEPLEY.

Mrs. Caroline Lepley, mother of Mr..
William E. Lepley, died on Monday.
March 81, 1919, from a paralytic
stroke which prostrated her about tend
days ago. She was born in the vii
lage of Ferden, providence Westphalia.
kingdom of Prussia, on September 80.
1881, and there spent the days OF her
childhood and youth. When about IL
years of age, she came to America with
friends from her native village, to
make her way alone and unaided amid
the opportunities OF the New World.
After tossing on the Atlantic for sew
n long weeks, she and her fellow pas
sengers landed at New Orleans In 1S49.
She continued her voyage up the Mis-
sissippi as far as Savanna, and pro-
ceeded overland from there to Free
port, Illinois, where she found employ
ment and made her home for time.
Here she was married on April IL,
1855, to Mr.. Charles Lepley, who was a
man of sturdy qualities and to whom
she became true helpmate. After
her marriage she and her husband re-
sided for a number of years at Rock
ford, Ill. In 1869 they went onto a
farm near Cascade, Iowa, from which
they removed after few years to an
other farm near Worthington: On
this they remained until they disposed
of their farming interests in 1885 to
make their home in Hopkinton. Here
they continued to live for some years
After spending some time in Califor-
MIA they settled in Manchester, where
Mr.. Lepley died in 1913. Mrs. Lepley
was on the whole woman Of robust
health, and she continued to occupy
her own house, next door to that OF
her son, until few days ago the
stroke ended her activities.
Mrs. Lepley was woman of strong
character and sterling qualities. and
her many friends will sincerely miss
her presence, without envying the
aged pilgrim her well-earned rest. She
| was all her life member OF the
Catholic Communion, and Father
Rooney will have charge of the ser
vices. She was the mother of ter
children, four of whom died during
childhood. The surviving children are
Mrs. Amelia Mayn, of West Sulphur
Springs, Mont: Mrs. Louis Heitman
of Helena, Mont; Mr.. Charles Lepley
of Fort Benton. Mont; Mr.. w. E. Lep
/ ley of Manchester; Mrs. Richard Man
ger, of Long Beach, Calf, and Mrs
Fred X. Main, of Kalispell, Mont. Mr.

CHILD WELFARE WORK.

Three hundred tnOuSanQ CnllQren
under one year Of age die annually
in the United States; seven thousand
in Iowa. This is spoken of as the
normal death rate" The men con-
nected with the Child Welfare Re
search Station at Iowa City believe
that there is nothing normal about
it. They are convinced that an en-
ormous majority of these little ones
die as the victims of individual and
public ignorance and carelessness. In
fant mortality, they say. is due to con-
ditions which could easily be chang
ed, and is therefore preventable.
On Tuesday afternoon well-at-
tended meeting was held in the base
ment rooms of the public library at
which this problem was thoroughly
discussed. In addition to representa-
tive men and women from the County,
there were present DR.. Ellsworth
Faris of the Child Research Station
at Iowa City, and DR.. R. j. Reed, of
Des Moines, who is the executive sec
retary Of the Iowa tuberculosis As
sociatiOn.
The scheme of preventative health
work, as suggested by them, contem-
plates the establishment of one or
more health inspection stations at
which all infant children are to be
periodically examined free of charge
and their parents counselled as to the
treatment needed in case of physical
defects being found; also a similar
inspection of all children in the
schools; and finally the employment
Of one or more visiting nurses to
give assistance where needed. The
Station at Iowa City will also send
experts in the diseases OF children
free of charge for consultation when
ever needed, so that each child in the
county will have the benefit of the
best medical advice to be obtained:
It is proposed to make Delaware coun-
ty a demonstration county in this
kind OF work, which may serve as a
model to the remainder OF the state.
Prof. Farris pointed out that, so far
as the matter of expense is concern
ed, it costs far less to prevent dis
ease than to cure it. At this time, 1t
is believed, that certain per cent.
Of the Red Cross funds can be made
available for financing this expert
ment. DR.. Reed also gave assurance
that the Iowa tuberculosis Associa-
tion would gladly give financial as
sistance as the work outlined is in
many respects in direct line with its
own endeavors. It was estimated that
the cost to the people of the country
would not be over IS cents per cap
ita-a nominal sum when the conser-
walton Of the life and health OF our
children is at stake
Before adjournment, the meeting
adopted resolution, authorizing the
appointment of suitable committee
to draw up definite plan Of opera
ton and present the same for action
at future meeting af9't'h T

Grafton in hospital and the tender

Appropriations Loom Up Large.

n
A list OF the new appropriations of
all kinds excepting the increases In
salaries of state employees has been
made out for the first time this ses-
sion by Senator Foskett Of the Sen
ate appropriations committee, and
Representative Wickman Of the House
Appropriations committee, and all the
total amounts to is $15,000,000.
In other words, state institutions,
and state legislators are not any more
backward now in asking for what they
want than they were before people be-
gan paying for the luxury Of a great
war.
It is pointed out to US, however,
that much Of the appropriations asked
| for will never be voted or made. For
instance, in the above tremendous to-
| tai is included five million dollars in
House bill for soldiers building
fund''-a million a year for five years,
tc be used as a sort Of loan fund to
help soldiers get homes. 1t is said
none of this is likely to be passed at
this session. Another big item Is
100000 for establishing a state twine
factory at state institutions They
have been establishing" twine fac
tories in bills of this kind for twen-
! ty years, and none are provided for
yet. Schools, prisons, hospitals, agri-
cultural and animal industry all call
for large sums as matters for progress
and improvement, and three more
state normal schools for 100000 are
proposed-as usual at every session.
Senator Foskett states that two
years ago the new appropriations al
lowed footed up to s5,600,0Oo. He an
ticipates that when all that the COM
mittees will stand for this year are
footed up they will show not so many
millions more as indicated by the ask
ings above noted. But at best this
will be the most expensive year In
Iowa's history, owing to readjustments
of all kinds made necessary by the
higher cost of everything.

Des Moines, March 80, 1919.
With $50 bills and resolutions pre-
sented in the House and 4S0 in the
Senate, the Thirty-eighth General AS
sembly is now plowing along through
this mass of proposed legislation and
looking to an adjournment about APP
ril 18th Fortunately, most OF the
bills and resolutions included in the
above thousand are of very little or
minor Importance, are simply correc-
tive measures or little adjustments of
the laws that have no wide-reaching
effect.

General Assembly are receiving ev-
cry day or two some circular. or 9TH
er from James NJ. Pierce OF the Iowa
Homestead In which said Pierce as
sumes to give the members either In
formation or orders-the members are
beginning to wonder which. With the
gusto of a king. this man Pierce sits
upon his throne in the Homestead
building and has hired men reporting
to him what the legislature Is doing.
With the wisdom of Solomon the
king over on the west side then de-
cides what is right and what is rot
item, and the next day a circular ap-
pears on every members desk tell
ling" him what is doing or has been
done or what should be done, and OF
fering gratuitous advice on pending
legislation. AZ y
Now, some Of the members are
wondering how much they owe Pierce
| for all this, service, or what he thinks
they owe him, and they would like
they owe him, and they would like to
stop his use of their desks for his
spiteful propaganda. For one whose
removal from the state council OF de-
tense for alleged disloyalty and OBJ
structioA Of the war loans was de-
manded by hundreds all over the
state, Pierce is assuming more than
most members possibly care to stand
for in either advising or ordering
them regarding pending legislation.

Want Cafeteria at High school.

A cafeteria for the high school is
advocated as the military drill period
extends so far into the noon hour that
many of the boys are forced to go
hungry if they have not brought their
lunch. This is especially true of those
boys who have work to do at noon.
The high school girls may serve
lunches later in the winter to accom-
modate those who cannot go home to
dinner. This plan is only tentative so
far.
