LETTER FROM LESTER BENTLEY

Valley Springs. So. Dakota
Dear Home Folks
Expect you are wondering what has
become of me, as l haven't written
for SO long.
Have been picking corn for about
a week and got lame wrist. Don't
care much about this corn husking,
1t is pretty hard work. They pay
only and cents a bushel. Corn
picking is one of the worst jobs on
a farm.
They say that a fellow can't get
work here next year, so I guess, that
will Fall out of these parts.
The weather has been fine, but
turned cold the last few days. These
cold mornings makes a feller think
of Colorado.
If / could just get out of this
corn licking. might might pack
up and go home
They have all treated me fine-like
a king here in s. D., and have no
kick on the summer I spent here
l have not thought SO much about
home. as l have the last few cold
days, SO don't be surprised to see
me drifting in.
With love to all
Lester

PASSAGE OF EDUCATIONAL A
MENDMENT WOULD MEAN
INSIGNIFICANT TAX RAISE
Benefit to State Offsets Small In
crease in Mill Levy, Say Cam
paign Leaders.

The passage o. the educational
amendment will cause an immediate
increase in taxes OF not more than
SO cents on each thousand dollars of
valuation.
The balance OF the one mill pro-
vided by the measure will furnish
sufficient funds for the educational
institutions for years TO come and
will not be levied until actually
needed.
These are answers to questions
arising in the minds of taxpayers
when they consider the amendment
from the standpoint of taxes. They
are taken from statistics compiled
and made public today by the State
Educational Publicity Bureau. The
figures are based upon reports from
the seven state-supported institu-
tions of higher learning.
This immediate increase in taxes
1t is pointed out, is no more than the
price of half a pound of candy. two
ice cream sodas or two tickets to the
movies. The amount to be levied
Immediately is Insignificant, lead
ers of the movement say. when com
pared to the benefits the youth of
the state and the people at large
will derive from the provisions of
the amendment.
The leaders of the campaign de-
clare in their opinion, the average
taxpayer viii be discriminating
enough to see the desirability OF this
measure and its small cost even
though he is opposed to a general in
crease in taxes. 1t would be dis
grace to the state. they say, If the
educational amendment is voted
down Just because it is a tax meas
ure when the very existence, almos,
OF seven vitally essential institutions
is at stake.
The passage of the amendment
will not directly provide these col
leges with these funds nor will II
directly increase taxes half a mill
but 1t will be necessary for each OF
the institutions to go before the
state legislature and prove to that
body that additional revenues are
needed. Then the legislature will
decide upon the fraction of the mill
to be levied for any one year to
take care of this increase in ex-
penses of the university and coll
eyes.
The rapid growth of these insti.
tutions, the increased cost of labo,
and materials and the necessity OF
paying higher salaries to professor,
brought about the initiation of the
amendment which will be No 7. the
last of the initiated amendments on
the ballot at the general election
November 2. Alumni of the insti-
tutions and friends of higher learn.
In Colorado are looking forward tc
the passage of the measure to insure
adequate maintenance of these
colleges.

TYPHOID DECLINING

Typhoid fever is one of the dis
eases in which <modern prevention
measures have shown most crafty
ing results. In Wisconsin, the
death rate has steadily and most I'M
interruptedly descended from 1872
in 1911 to So in 1917. In Milwau-
kee the average rate between 1906
and 1911 was 27.8; in 1911 it was
10: and in 1917 only 6.1.
Kenosha, among the smaller cities
reduced it's rate from 1877 in 1911 to
81 in 1917; Ashland from 1928
in 1911 to 34.5 in 1917; Marin
cite from 69.3 in 1911 to 6.S in 1916
(the 1917 rate is not published.)
Inasmuch as the northern cities
of the United States, at least, the re-
duction has been more rapid than in
the rural sections, health officers of
large cities have come to call typhoid
vacation disease. Some addition
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1920-06-24

al warrant for this is given by the
fact that the disease is far more
prevalent during July, August and
September land October than at any
other season.
Typhoid is, to-day, well-nigh alb
solutely preventable disease. But
it is not yet absolutely prevented
because some people are still care
less about the purity of drinking
water and some nurses do not pro-
tect the uninfected from the germ
laden discharges of patients suffer-
ing from the disease. Outside the
army, medical and nursing profess
sions, and a comparatively small
number of extraordinarily intelligent
persons, preventive typhoid vaccin-
alton has not been accepted at its
full value as a personal means of in
surfing oneself and ones family a.
kainst the danger of this disease.
