A MIRACLE PERFORMED
Curing of Crippled Boy at Childrens
Hospital at Iowa City
Miracle.

Iowa City, Iowa-"A miracle has
certainly been performed" says an
Iowa man in telling of the trans
formation that resulted after a Grip
pied boy IL years of age able only
to crawl on his hands and knees who
was treated at the children's hos
pital of the university of Iowa. Fol-
lowing three visits to the hospital
he is almost entirely cured, thanks
to the surgical skill of orthopedic
experts on the hospital Staff.
Nine months ago iro-.~s----..--.-,.-.-
lieved to be helpless cripple as the
result of an attack of infantile
paralysis when he was about 8 years
old. For a period of four long years
he never walked erect, but crept
about on all tours like baby. His
knees and hands became hard and
calloused from the unusual method
of locomotion, and his parents con-
tinually worried over the dark pros.
poets for life which their boy faced
Early last fall arrangements were
made to bring the crippled boy to the
university children's hospital, just a.
any sick crippled child in the STATE
may come for treatment providing
his condition can be remedied anC
his parents are unable to bear TIT
expense. After a period of four o

The Fears of France.

The French government is blamed
because it insisted on a big payment
of reparations by Germany, which
tends to upset the financial equili-
brium of the whole world.
Yet if folks had been in the posi-
ton of France, had they seen a
nation having 100000 more people
come across their borders, and raw
age, burn, and destroy without rea-
son, our people would sympathize
with this fear. The unprovokeo
German invasion was the greatest
outrage of history. They tried tc
cripple France for Century, anc
,bev should now do what they car
to repair the damage.
But magnanimity pays. Probably
the French people would come ou'
best, if they would leave it to I'M
martial authorities to say what th'
Germans can pay. The approval o.
the world will be worth more L
France than any gold marks.

REDUCE TEACHERS Ann CIT
EXPENSE
One Educator Points Out a WAY to
Economic.

Iowa Falls, Iowa-In a talk before
the Community club of this CITY.
superintendent Prall of the Clarion
schools gave many reasons for the
present high cost of education in the
state.
The cost could be reduced to a
certain extent without impairing the
the efficiency of the schools, he
said, by giving more pupils to each
teacher.
In doing this, he felt that where
teachers were doing good work, it
was preferable to retain them at
present salaries but have them teach
more students.
The speaker maintained that where
a district had a teacher who was
doing good work, it was policy to
retain her rather than hire a new
one and gamble on the chance of
beJtering the service. Last year.
Dows did not retain one of tn old
teachers.
The per cent of those retained
IN other schools is as follows: Clar-
ion, 70; Belmound, &c; Humboldt,
60; Iowa Falls, 90; Emmetsburg, co.;
Eagle Grove, A; and Hampton, Ia.
The average salaries paid high school
teachers in the same towns are as
follows: Humboldt, $1,625; Clarion,
Sl,6lO; Emme,sburg, $1,575; Eagle
Grove, SLABS; Belmond, $1,491;
Iowa Falls, $1,436, and Hampton, ST.
416. The cost of instruction in the
high school per month, per pupil
in the same towns was shown to
be: Emmetsburg, $1O.15; Hum
bolt, 1855; Belmond, $500; Clarion,
$9.65; Eagle Grove, $S.25; Hapton,
$3.50; Bows, $7.15, and Iowa Falls,
$3.50.

SAVAGE DISTRIBUTOR
HAS NOVEL PLAN FOR
THE RURAL M0T0RlST

There is a growing tendency
among progressive merchants to
make it as easy as possible for Gus
toners to buy their wares. So it
isn't strange that some up-to-date
tire and accessory dealer should
decide to take his goods to the
out-of-town buyer, for his conven-
fence rather than ask his country
customer to come in to town to
see him.
It is being done in Provo, Utah,
for instance. r.. L. Taylor, man.
ager of the Provo Implement and
Hardware Co, distributors for
Savage tires and tubes, has adopt
ed a novel plan for selling to farm
ers. This concern has complete
ly equipped service truck which
carries a representative stock of
Savage tires and tubes, small hand
tools, oils. and other items neces-
sary to the farmer.
With this truck trips are made
into the farming territory and
sales made direct from their stock
for whatever the farmer requires.
In leases where they do not have
Just what is needed in their truck,
orders are taken at the time and
shipment made upon the return
to Provo. In this way the farm
er's needs are filled for many ar
ticles which he has been delaying
the purchase of until his next trip
to town. This service helps tc
keen the money in circulation in
the locality, and also tends to pre-
vent rural motorists from ordering
goods Of doubtful. quality from
mail order houses. This service
will lie of special help to the farm
err at the season when the crop re-
quires his close attention to his
business.
Whether the country motdrist
requires a Savage cord, for his
truck or touring car or pint OF
oil, or merely wants some infor-
nation regarding certain device
or accessory, the Savage distribut-
or's store is in a position to give
prompt service or make quick de-
livery.

ADDITION is BEING
BUILT TO HUPM0BlLE
AUTOMOBILE FACTORY

In accordance with building
program adopted three years ago,
the Hupp Motor Car corporation
is now adding new construction to
it's big plant on East Milwaukee
avenue in Detroit which will in
crease the factory floor space by
more than a half million square
feet.
Completion of the new buildings
now under process of erection will
give the Hupmobile main plant a
total floor space of not less than
100000 square feet with as mod :
ern equipment and building design,
it is said, as can be found in the
industry.
In addition to the main plant ir
Detroit there are five subsidiary
Hupmobile manufacturing proper
ties, four of which are owned by
the Hupp Motor Car corporation
and the fifth controlled by it. all
of the products of which are de-
voted to Hupmobile production.

NEW BONUS SYSTEM
FOR WORKERS AT THE
PACKARD PLANT

AS a reward for accuracy and
pride of workmanship and to slim
ulate production, the Packard Mo-
tor Car Company has established
a new bonus system for workers
at the plant
The new plan takes the place
of individual bonuses paid by the
Packard for number OF years
and is said to be entirely new
among all bonus plans that have
been tried in American manufac-
turing.
Under the bonus system the de-
gree of efficiency at which each
department is operating is fixed,
after a time study of the work of
the department. For each one per
cent of increase in efficiency the
department is able to make above
that fixed as the base each indi-
vidual worker in the department
is given one per cent increase in
wages for the pay period. The in
crease is measured in accordance
with increased work produced.
Inasmuch as any increase In the
personal efficiency of any one
worker in the department tends
| to increase the percentage of eff
cheney of the entire department,
| with resulting increase in wages
| for each individual, an incentive IS
held out to each worker to do
more and better work.
Each worker in a department
has a personal interest in the en-
tire work of his department. Lax
| ness, loafing or carelessness in
! workmanship for that reason are
frowned upon by the men them
selves. A laggart workman is con-
sidered by his fellows to be an OBJ
stacle in the path to bonus and
| they themselves insist that he do
his part or get out.
The first department in which
the new plan was tried increased
it's efficiency four per cent in the
! first two weeks. Stimulated by the
| increased pay which resulted, the
| department increased its efforts
still further until in the last two
weeks the Increase amounted to
10 per cent, with a resulting 19
| per cent increase in pay.
In this department a common
laborer had been employed as a
trucker. It had been his habit &c
sit down and rest while waiting
for a load for his truck. One OF
the skilled workers explained the
bonus plan to him and pointed out
what it meant to him personally
to utilize every minute Of ris
working time. AS result The
skilled worker became a teacher
with an eager pupil and the trick
or has taken a step up in his work
and has doubled his wages. The

Then she kissed the forehead of her husband and screamed Daddy, forgive me. Please forgive me. my sweetheart, Oh, Daddy. loved you; l loved you. Upon my knees l plead for forgiveness"
 She dropped to her knees and prayed. Then she slowly arose and walked back and forth before the coffin until taken back to prison.
