THE GIRL WHO WHALED PERRY
fOelwein Registerl

It's in the blood--of some people
to demand square deal. It is re-.
called that back somewhere, about
the early sos n husky school girl
smote hip and head burly youth
whose first. name was Perry. because
the said Perry had been picking on"
and maltreating a boy smaller than
himself. The girl whipped Perry
to fragile. Stamping his face and
knocking him over till he promised
to leave him alone" And later Per-
ry came with his tale OF woe to the
superintendent who after learning
the particulars commended the girl
for taking the part of the smaller
boy. In the past few years that girl
grown to womanhood has been over
doing valiant work as physician
among the Armenians in the Near
East. She recently told the story OF
the 100000 starving children to an
Oelwein audience. ~

There is a great deal of strike
nonsense talked about what the

something to say about" says the

than half the rents they contracted

renters were foolish to contract to
pay $12 and SIS or even $22 an acre
for the use OF land-and we prevented
some from entering into such con-
tracts. But at that time every one
had streak OF lunacy In his mind,
and most of all the men who went
about Offering $500 or 5000 an acre
for Ands to speculate In. Some Of US
warned them then that such prices

was big crop and slump In buy

TAX EXEMPTION FOR HOMES.
rMusca tine Journal


Two members of the Iowa town
planning commission have drafted
bill for presentation before the Iowa
assembly this winter providing for an
exemption from taxation for ten
year period of dwelling houses not
exceeding $4,000 in cost.
There can DO no question but that
the enactment Of such law would
give an impetus to home building.
Its immediate effect would be too
greatly augment the. demand for
building materials and labor. Such
legislation would doubtless have a
reflection in higher building costs and
while more homes would be pro-
vided, it is possible that the lifting of
the tax burden might be neutralized.
If such a law swelled the cost of
constructing a $4,000 home to $4,000,
the benefit would be reduced.
A local dwelling valued at $4,000
this year has a S131,50 tax assess
ment.
The lifting Of the tax for ten.
year period would constitute saw.
ing which would be eaten up by

THE ORANGE GROWERS TRUST.
~. C. Biller, writing from Spadra.
Cal, to the Democrat
The other day our daughter, who
had spent the summer visiting in
Iowa and Nebraska, said to me, Can
you tell me why the people In the
east think the orange growers as
ISOLATION is a trust?" "Oh, yes, that
is easy" Our exchange sold car of
lemons some weeks ago to a jobber
for 81 a box delivered. He sold them
to the retailers for $3.50 box. The
retailer sold them for 80 cents q doz-
en-, and as there are twenty-five doz-
en- in q box he got only $3.50 a box.
The grower, after paying the rail-
road and packing charges, got $1.10
for the box Of lemons, or s44o for
the car. The jobbers profit was
$3.50 a box or $1,000 for the car. The
retailers profit was SO a box or $4,000
for the car. Now anyone who will
notice the beggarly profits of the
jobber and retailer will see at once
the necessity Of the people knowing
that the orange growers association
which is the grower, is a trust-a
very bad trust. The above figures
are absolutely reliable. The only mis-
leading thing about them is the
growers profit which is much above
average.

UNTAXED $4,000 HOMES.

| WEBSTER City Freeman ournall
The dispatches tell us that some
Sioux City men are going to ask the
state legislature this winter to enact
law exehpting from taxation for
period Of ten years all dwelling
houses, up to a value Of $4,000, erect
ed within two years after the passage
Of such law. Some of the eastern
states have passed such laws recently
in order to stimulate building of
homes, thus relieving the stringency.
It. seems to us that the. value of the
home for exemption is placed rather
high. A. man who can afford to build
a $4,000 house can afford to pay
taxes upon it and n house of less
value will go just as far toward re-
heving the shortage. We believe the
exemption should not be. above $4,000
Or $4,000 of the value. II the house
Is worth $4,000, $4,000 or more, ex-
empt it for $4,000 or $4,000, More
over, it would be well to exempt all
residences for all time up to say ST.
600 or $4,000. A home valued at only
$4,000 would pay no taxes whatever
and the one worth $4,000 would be
reduced by the amount of the exemp-
tion..

%T's A BOY"
The doctor leads a busy life, he wages
war with death
Long hours he spends to help the one
who's fighting hard for breath.
He cannot call his time his own, nor
share In others fun,
His duties claim him through the night
when others work is done,
And yet the doctor seems to be Gods
messenger of JOY,
Appointed to announce this news Of
gladness; ITS a boyw
In many ways unpleasant is the doc
tors round of cares,
| should not like to have to bear the
burdens that he bears,
His eyes must look on horrors grim,
unmoved he must remain,
Emotion he must master If he hopes
to conquer pain,
Yet to his lot this duty falls, his voice
he must employ
To speak to man the happiest phrase
that's sounded, ITS u boyr

message half so glad
AS that the doctor brings unto the

change the skies to blue
And lift the care from troubled hearts,

l wish that l could Danish all the
thoughts that man annoy
And cheer him as the doctor does,
who whispers: ITS boy"
Whoever through the hours of night
has stood outside her door
And wondered II she'd smile again !;
whoe'er has paced the floor
And lived those years OF fearful
thoughts, and then been swept
from woe,
Up to the topmost height OF bliss
that's given men to know,
