Let's Meet IL Half Way

The Rockefeller foundations have
announced a gift of S2,500,000 to the
college of medicine of the Iowa state
university. II is technically two
gifts, half of it granted by the
Rockefeller Foundation and half by
the Educational Board. The gift IL
contingent upon agreement of the
Iowa general assembly to appropri.
at S450,000 annually for FIVE years.
That is, if Iowa is ready TO put 81
100000 of her money against the
same sum to build and extend her
own school Iowa gets the money.
Fair enough. 1t is the old propo-
sition of helping him who is willing
to help himself. None except a
glass blown pauper desires more.
This aggregate sum of five mil
lions will be used to build new me-
deal plant at the university. That
means that the children's hospital
created under the Perkins and Has
kell-Klaus laws and to which about
10000 patients have been admitted
will be extended. This hospital and
other hospitals there are now over
crowded. Applications for admis-
sion of crippled and diseased children
unable to help themselves of parents
unable to help them are being re-
fused daily. There's no room for
them. That is part of what the
Rockefeller money and our money
means. We shall have to rebuild the
plant and extend the hospitals what
ever we might conclude as to the
Rockefeller gift, the proposal means
that we shall have complete plant
for all those purposes at cost of
so cents of our money placed against
so cents of Rockefeller money out
of every dollar so expended.
There should be no hesitation on
the part of Iowa in meeting this
half way. Let's meet the
money at the Mississ-
ippi with an equal amount shake
hands with it and make it welcome,

publican.

DEcoRAH's PIONEER BANK
Winneshiek County State Bank 81
Years Old, and in Flourishing
Condition.

The Winneshiei County State
Bank, of DEBORAH is sixty-seyer
years old, and according to the con.
densed statement of the bank pub
lished in these columns this week
shows resources of the total of
S2,l71,778.90, which is certainly {
wonderful showing and illustrates
well the stability and strength of
this popular banking institution,
which has been in control of the
Weiser family all these years.
The bank is now entering on its
6Sth year and it was never in a
better condition than it is today
This bank has no certificates of de-
post issued for borrowed money ana
no obligation of directors or officers
is held by the bank.
The banks Christmas club is
now double what it was at this time
last year and growing steadily.
The bank also has over 1900 safety
deposit boxes for the use of their
customers.
A perusual of the statement will
show that the bank does business
on a sound basis, and the figures illu-
strate safe and sane banking.
Officers were recently elected, and
all of the old officers were reelected
with the addition of two new ones,
Mr.. Oscar Norgard being elected
assistant cashier and Mr.. Chas. J.
Weiser, Jr., a director. The per-
sonnet of the bank is made up as
follows: C. ]. Weiser, president, r.
Anger, vice president, A. Atkinson,
cashier, Miss Anna Whalen and o.,
car Norgard, assistant CASHIERS and
Chas. j. Weiser, Jr., director.
The advancement of Mr.. Norgard
to the position Of assistant cashier
is promotion well merited, as he is
a young man of marked business
ability, and is thorough banker, as
he has grown up from the ranks and
demonstrated his worth.
The bank has cash on hand in
government securities to pay theii
entire demand deposits.

PAROLES GIFTS TO
IOWA PRISONERS
Fifty-Six Convicts Given Clemency
BY Board on Christmas. Placed
on Farms, Factories and
Other Desirable .
Places.
JOBS FOR TWENTY-FIVE
OF THEM SECURED
Others Must Await Securing OF
Employment Before Being
Given Their
Freedom.

Des Moines, Iowa-Twenty-five
prisoners of the mems reformatory
and state penitentiary ale their
Christmas dinner outside the institu-
ton walls, due to paroles from the
parole board, it was stated by S. d..
Woods, secretary of the board, who
has just returned from visiting both
institutions.
This is not all the men paroled on
the visit of the board, but il is all
for whom jobs had been secured, and
men are not released until work Is
found for them.
There were prisoners paroled from
the Anamosa reformatory and six
teen from the Fort Madison peni-
tertiary, Secretary Woods said, but
thirty-one must wait for release until
employment has been secured.
Each of the men paroled was given
suit of clothes, including an over
coat, S. in cash and transportation
to his job.
Men are placed on the farms, in
the factories and all sort of posi-
tions, Woods said, but the masses of
these men are not divulged 10 the
public. This secrecy is maintained
in order that the former prisoner
may have the best opportunity Of
making good. Paroled men are paio
the same salaries or wages that men
doing the same kind of work get, ac-
cording to the secretary. Very few
employers try to get paroled men
cheap, and these are usually ignored
by the board.

The Ruling Passion

Bruner was a professional gamb-
Ter OF the type now practically ex-

followed the gold rush West and
had run gambling houses in Califor-
MIA and Alaska. He had also gamb-
led much on Missouri and Mississ-
lppi river steamboats, in bygone DAYS.
AT all the larger race tracks he was
a familiar figure. But that was
all in the yesterday. A few years
ago he quit his operations and set
tied down to quiet, peaceful life
IN small city. But he never quite
lost his betting instinct.

WANT NEW ROAD
Delegation From Highlandville and
DEBORAH Commercial Club APP
pear Before Board.

One of the first requests the new
board of supervisors received for
1923 was from a delegation from
Highlandville and the Decorah Conn
mercial club yesterday, asking that
a stretch of road about three miles
long, leading from Highlandvilie
east to the Allamakee county line
along the south branch of Bear
Creek be made safe for traffic. The
road has been opened about 20 years
we understand, and there are two
dugways on the road, one about SO
rods long and another about 90,
and they are very dangerous. The
idea is to get them wicened, and
the board was asked to assist. Mr..
Theo. Scheldahl of Highlandville was
the spokesman for the delegation and
he made a very fine talk to the board
and the large audience present in
the small court room where the meet
was ISlu' ne put Tie SlludIIUH up
in a most pleasing and sensible man>
ner, and we believe the board was
most favorably impressed with ms
ideas, and if it is in their power 10
do anything for this particular
stretch of road they certainly viii 30
il. But Chairman Beigan of the
board made it known that it was .
township road and the board had no
jurisdiction, and at present, anyway
were unable to do anything, ana
stated that the road had TO be put to
a permanent grade anyway before
could be done. Other
speakers were Rev. Tolo, Edgar Nor
stad, of Quandahl, r. B. Bergeson,
o. L. Wennes, Ben Bear, L. B.
Whitney and President . Anger of
the Commercial Club. At any rate
it was a mighty good meeting, with
a good sensible delegation present,
and we believe the way has been
paved to get this particular stretch
Of road fixed up not in the far fu-
ture. .~ ,..

back while at work shoveling coal al
the Northwestern State Portland
cement mill yesterday afternoon was
the peculiar accident suffered by Joe
Hernandez, Mexican. 1t is believed
that muscular action broke the two
vertebrae just below the neck.
The surgeon who performed the
operation to reduce the fracture said
that as far as he was able to dis
soy-r the peculiar break was the
first in the history Of medicine. The
man did not fall nor was he jerked
or otherwise placed in position that
is commonly supposed TO result in a
broken back. He is not paralyzed as
result of the break and his COM
plete recovery is looked for.
