A Big Baby .POrker

A pig almost three times the
length of the average baby porker
was included in the litter of eight
with which a Poland China gilt on
the farm of Martin Ouverson, near
Fertile, presented her owner. A
representative from a farm paper
offered Ouverson $3.50 for the pig
a few hours after it was born, but
the prefer was refused. The aver
age length of pigs at birth is said
TO be a trifie under eight inches.

MORE THAN HALF OF TAXES
FOR SCHOOLS
Average Community of Iowa Spends
81 Per Cent of Leyies For
Education.

Iowa City, Iowa-The average
community in Iowa spends about 81
per cent of its public funds for pur-
poses of education and support of its
school system.
Three-fourths of the towns and
cities of the state devote at least SO
per cent of their funds to education.
In the face of this showing, some
small towns give but 1875 per cent of
their income to the schools, while a
few cities of from 500 to 1000 popu-
lation devote scarcely 20 per cent of
their funds to education.
These figures, with others just as
interesting, have been prepared by
the college of education of the uni
versity of Iowa to show the amount
of support received by the schools
in Iowa and, in another tabulation,
the manner in which the money is
spent. The average cost of main,
tanning pupil in the schools of the
state for one year is approximately
500, according to these statistics.
Small towns in Iowa show the
widest divergence in their support Of
public education. In some commune
ties practically 50 per cent of the
public funds go to the schools; the
smallest share is 1875 per cent. One
town of less than 500 population
levies tax of 1916 mills for school
purposes; another of the same size
has a school levy of but 2 mills.
Cities of from 5000 to 10000 have
the highest average of taxation for
school purposes. As a whole their
levy is SAP mills. The largest dis
covered school levy in Iowa is 1874
mills.

BY HARRY j. GREEN,
DEBORAH, IOWA, JUNE S, 1921
He Surprised the Railroad Man.

1t was the first time on record, it
is said. Anyway this is the correct
story of an event that occurred Sat-
urday about IL a. m. A farmer had
hitched his team near the Rock Island
freight depot and as the freight en-
CINE was switching it scared the
equines and they backed the wagon
in front of the slowly approaching
locomotive. The engineer stopped
just as the pilot had pushed the wag-
on 6 or s feet, doing no damage
The farmer, feeling at fault, came up
and asked the engineer how much
was the damages for obstructing the
track and stopping the train? The
railroad man nearly fell dead, and he
will tell the story all along the De-
corah branch.-Oelwein Register.

The Automobile The Deadliest Ma
chine in America

The automobiles much because
of carelessness of pedestrians as of
drivers-is now the deadliest mach
inc in America, and, unless quick,
decisive action is taken, is destined
to become even more deadly because
of its rapidly increasing popularity.
The mortality report of the Cen
sus Bureau and statistics received
daily by the National Safety Coun-
Gil indicate that during recent years
automobile accidents have resulted in
approximately one-half the number
of deaths caused by industrial ac-
cidents of all sorts.
In Chicago 420 persons were killed
in automobile accidents during 1919;
in Cleveland, 1876; in st. Louis, 81;
n the Borough of s4annarten, New
FORK, 191 children under Is years
# age; in Greater New York, CIT
persons were killed.
In Rochester, N. Y, as many deaths
we're caused by automobile accidents
Is by street cars, railroads and in
lustrial accidents combined.
A comparison, year by year, of
he number of automobile deaths and
he number of automobiles in use
indicates that the deaths are increas-
ng in almost exact ratio with the
Increase in omobiles.-Bulletin of
National Safety Council.
