EUROPEAN RELIEF COUNCIL
AND NEW EAST RELIEF

1.-THE undersigned issue this joint
statement of some confusion which
has arisen owing 20 the fact that
Near East Relief and European Re-
lief Councils are conducting stimuli
.taneous campaigns for funds. Near
East Relief which has been in exist
ence for five years is ministering to
sufferings of refugees and orphans
in what was formerly the Turkish
Empire, Persia and Armenia and
must, in addition to what is requir-
ed to operate it's hospitals, rescue
homes and refugee camps, collect APP
proximately $6,500,000, for child
feeding covering the period from Oc-
tober thirtieth until the next har-
vest. It's appeal for the children
has always come at Christmas time.
The European Relief Council, rep
resenting the American Red Cross,
American Relief Administration, the
American Friends Service Commit
tee, Federal Council of Churches of
Christ in America, Knights of Col
umbus, Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation and Young Women's Chris
tian Association, is an emergency
fund endeavoring to provide food for
100000 suffering children in Pol
and, Esthonia, Czocho-Slovakia. Lat
via. Serbia, Russia, Austria and Ger
many, as may be designated by the
donors 1t must collect $33, 200, 900
before the next harvest, to meet this
need. The two interests in each
case are absolutely equal in the mat
ter of the preservation OF the lives of
children and are working in cooper
alton and mutual understanding"

IOWA TO LOSE CONGRESSMAN


The vote for the adoption of the
amendment proposed by Representa-
tive Barbour, republican, California,
a member of the census committee,
which reported the bill, was so over
whelming that advocates of bigger
house said they realized 1t would
stand
The amendment means that the fol-
towing states will lose seats two
years hence:
MissouriS two; and Indiana, Iowa,
Kansas. Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine,
Mississippi, Nebraska, Rhode Island
and Vermont, one each California
VIII gain three; Michigan, two; Ohio,
two, and Connecticut, New Jersey,
North Carolina, Texas and Washing
ton, one each.
The house of representatives voted
Wednesday against increasing tits
membership, now 435.
This action was. taken by adop-
tion of an amendment to the reap
portionment bill which sought to in
crease the total to 4S3.
Under the amendment twelve seats
would be shifted from eleven to eight
states.
The vote to keep the membership
at 435 was 1913 for, to ~ against.
The house refused to postpone
consideration of the reapportionment
bill, defeating, 1877 to 81, motion
to strike out .tbe enactings clause.
This put, the question of determining
the size of the house squarely before
that body.
An amendment by Representative
Jones, democrat, Texas, to reduce
the membership to 307 was voted
down overwhelmingly. ~

RETuRNs FRoM GERMANY

Adolph Bauer returned from Ger
many last week, remaining away
from good old Crawford county nine
ty days. His conversation regarding
his trip and his observations there
are very interesting and he ends by
saying he is mighty glad to be back
where he and his family may have
all the eggs, butter and milk they
want.
He states that the people over
there are hungry all the time, owing
to lack of fats. There is none to
be had. Asked il he suffered, he
replied he did, as he could not buy,
regardless of the fact that he had
plenty of money.
Eggs, he stated, were worth three
marks each, which at the present
quotation of IA cents, gold, means
close to cents, which doesn't look
high, as they are selling for that
here, but when it is considered that
the workman there gets but 80
marks a day, or close to 40 cents, 1t
means that ii would take one and
one-half days wages to buy dozen
eggs.
Asked if there was any sentiment,
replied that once in a great while
one of the lower class would voice
wish for the good old times. and
more frequently those Of the upper
stratum would declare in favor of 1t.
The socialists, he asserts, are the
cause of the most of the unrest there
today.
Let us all thank the good Lord
that we live under the folds of old
glory.

SAVING BABIES

To protect mothers and babies a
bill now before Congress, the Shep-
pard-Towner bill, proposes to appro-
pirate a total sum of two million
dollars the first year. The second
year the proposed appropriation is
three million. The third year, and
thereafter, 1t is four million.
The money will be divided among
those different states, in proportion
to their population, which appropri-
ate a sum equal OF what is given the
several states by the government.
There is no compulsion upon any
state to appropriate; IL a state re-
fuses or is unable to appropriate, no
other state thereby gets the extra
money. And twenty thousand dol
lars a year goes to each state annual
ly regardless OF whether it individu-
ally appropriates anything or not.
The amounts involved are so small
in comparison with other appropri-
atoms, and the necessity for better
chances for the new born is so ur-
gent, that che hesitation and delays
of Congress in the matter are hard to
understand
In six states investigation has
shown that eighty per cent of the
mothers had received no expert adj
vice or trained care during preg-
nancy.
Even taking the United States as
whole, it suffers severely by the
comparison in this matter with other
countries. We believe ourselves to
be the richest as we'll as the most
generally Intelligent nation in the
world; yet we are fifteenth in the
list of death rate of mothers in child
birth, and eighth in the death rate
list of babies
Think what effect the abandon
ment OF our hospitals in the cities
would have on the death rate of
mothers and the newly born; and
then reflect that among MANY MIL
LIONS of our citizens there is not
only no hospital help for child birth,
but NO TRAINED SERVICE WHAT
EVER IN THIS UNIVERSAL EN-
URGENCY.

WHERE OUR PEOPLE LIVE

Fifty-four out OF one hundred and
five million people now live in the
cities of this country. Fifty-one mil
lion people are what may be termed
ruralites. These include people liv-
ing in towns the size of an average
Iowa county seat town.
The significance of this fact will
be obvious to even casual students.
Fifty-four million people must have
their three daily meals transported
to their tables. They do not live
within reach of food, at most not TO
exceed a months supply.
Fifty or a hundred years ago it
would have been literally impossible
for >one-half of the people of this
country to feed the other half If they
had been gathered together in cities.
The existing status is made possible
now because of our highly organized
and developed system of transporta-
ton.
England is in similar position re-
garding water transportation. The
people of that island could not sub
sist indefinitely without ships touch
ing their shores with foodstuffs from
foreign lands.
Who can fail to see in America the
absolute necessity of continuous and
uninterrupted transportation service?
What would happen to the people in
the cities of this country If transpor-
tation were to be completely tied up
for a week or month in the winter
season?
These facts are worthy of the most
serious consideration by all our peo-
pie, particularly at time when no
political issues are on trial before the
voters. Politicians come and go. The
facts Of our Industrial Development
the drift of the people Of the country
to the cities--are always with us.
We must analyze and understand
these facts IL our intelligence is TO
be of value in keeping our ship of
state off the rocks of disaster.

AUDUBON MILL HELPS POOR

Our local flour mill, the Audubon
Milling Co., is member of the Com
munity Millers' Association of Amer
lea, which as its name implies, is a
national organization OF small mil
lers. The headquarters of this AS
ISOLATION are located in Chicago
Chicago, with its three million of
population, has thousands of desti-
tute families, and at Holiday time
individuals and business firms
throughout that territory contribute
to a general fund which is used in
providing Christmas dinners for the
unfortunates. These contributors
and charity workers are known as
Good Fellows.
This year Chicago's poor has suf-
fered more than during the past five
years. Just before the Holidays
flour was received by the Community
Millers' Association from almost ev-
cry state in the Union and was dis
tributed where needed The Audu-
bon Milling Co., we understand, was
one of the Good Fellows who con-
tributed to this worthy cause.
The Association informs us that
some of the conditions found were
indeed distressing and the flour con-
tributions brought tears of joy to
many a saddened mother and her
hungry children.
If ever the chance presents itself,
take a journey through some large
city's Stun districts. 1t will make
you more satisfied with your own lot
in life, and glad that you live in the
broad land of plenty and production
instead OF the congested district of
stinted consumption.

her father, George Pfiester, on north
Carroll street. She has been a pa
tient sufferer for many years and her
last illness confined her to bed from
early in the fall to the time OF her
death. Yet, during all this she
manifested a patience and fortitude
which greatly endeared her to all
those close to her and makes her
memory peculiarly precious TO those
who mourn her loss.

bon county on November 18th, 1894,
and was past 26 years of age at the

charge. The services were attended
by a throng of close friends and
relatives. Interment was made in
the Carroll cemetery, pail bearers

order.
The going of Miss Pfiester is a
severe loss, not only to her loved
ones, but to large circle of friends
both young and old, in which she
had made such large place for her
self"

MUST PAY INCOME TAX
Single Persons Have $1,000 Exemp-
ton While Married Persons
Have $1,000 Exemption

Single persons, though required
for 1920 was $1,000 or more, are, if
they are the heads of families. grant
ed special exemption under the
revenue laws. Such person is de-
fined by the treasury regulations as
"a person who actually supports and
maintains in one household one or
more of the individuals who are
closely connected with him by blood
relationship, relationship by marri-
age or by adoption, and whose right
to exercise family control and pro-
vide for these dependent individuals
is based Upon some moral or legal
obligation" Such persons are al
lowed the exemption of $4,000 grant
ed a married person. In addition,
they are allowed credit of 5000 for
each dependent under 18 years of
age or incapable of self-support be-
cause mentally or physically defec-
tive.
A married person living with hus-
band and wife cannot claim an addi-
tional $4,000 exemption. as the head
of family His or her exemption is
based upon the marital status, ire
spective of the support of others liv-
ing in the same household. The addi-
tional $500 credit for dependents
does not apply TO the husband or
wife of a taxpayer. For example,
IL a married man supports a father
who is incapable of self-support, he
is entitled to the $500 credit for such
person. II through force of circum-
stances he supports his wife away
from home, he is entitled to the ST.
900 exemption allowed a married
person. but not to 5000 credit for
dependent.
"A son who has left home but who
sends his mother more than half the
sum required for her support Is en-
titled to the 5000 credit, provided
the mother cannot support herself.
Otherwise the amount must be con-
sidered as a gift, and. therefore, the
credit is not allowed. A son living
at home and supporting his father,
mother, or other relative may claim
the $4,000 exemption allowed the
head OF a family. but not the 5000
credit unless such relative is under
IS years of age or incapable of self
support.

income OF $1,000 or more for the
year 1920; married couples who had

THE NEAR EAST RELIEF

In the Near East Relief fund which
is being raised In all parts OF the
country to save millions of children
from starving, Audubon county has
been given quota OF $6,305 to
raise. At the present time but a few

IL the amount is to be raised Those
who desire to contribute to this fund
can leave their contributions at any
of the newspaper offices in the, coun-
ty and the funds will be sent to LATE
Young, in Des Moines, who has
charge OF Iowa. Surely Audubon
county, which has gone over the top
in all war matters and relief matters
will not fail at this time to do her
Share. An organization will likely be
perfected in a short time to see that
the amount is raised. In the mean
time, those who are interested in the
welfare OF humanity will confer
favor by making their contributions
