What trivial thing is he
or she-afraid Of?
The greatest hero may be some
one in Indianapolis, a soldier, a
nurse, worker, a mother, or even
a child
Here are three candidates picked
at random. The soldier, despite his
courage on the battlefield, confesses
a private fear. A woman of heroic
devotion is afraid-sometimes. A
boy, whose bravery is in his rise
ever physical handicaps. fears other
things.
What kind of hero are you? Here
are two different types:

PNEUMONIA LEADS IN IOWA
DEATHS
Most Serious Malady in State, Ac-
cording to Board of Health.
tuberculosis in Second
Rank.

Des Moines, Iowa-The state
board of health has just completed. :.
table showing the death rates per
100000 population in Iowa for tuber-
culosis, pneumonia tall forms), ty-
phoid fever, diphtheria, scarlet fever,
whooping cough and measles, in the
period from 1910 to 1921 inclusive.
In this list pneumonia has proven
the most serious malady, with tuber-
culosis second. The death rate for
pneumonia was highest in 1918, the
year when influenza was serious, be-
ing 1863. In 1920 it was 112, and in
1911 it was 103. In 1912 the lowest
rate is recorded, being rs, and in the
other years it ran from 81 to 90.
Deaths from tuberculosis were
highest in 1911, being 69.3. In 1920
the rate was down down to ass, the
lowest in this twelve year period, and
in 1921 the rates went up again to
5S.8.
The other diseases in this state
have comparatively low death rates.
The highest for typhoid fever was in
1910, when the death rate was l7.2
and in 1919 there were fewer deaths
from this trouble than in any OF
the other years recorded, the rate
being As, in 1920 it was 7.6 and in
1921, 14.7.
The scarlet fever rate ranged from
10 in 1915 to 5.5 in 1920. The high
est rate for whooping cough was in
1919 when it reached PAS and the
lowest rate for this disease was in
1911 when it was Al. Measles
ranged from Is in 1914 to Sc in 1918.
Complete figures were not available,
however, except for tuberculosis for
the years 1916 and 1917.

WHAT WAS THE
RECORD FOR 1922
What Has the Year Done for Human
Progress in These United
States?
TODAY INDUSTRIES
ARE GENERALLY BUSY
While Farmers Have Suffered From
Low Prices Yet They Have
Made Progress Through
Cooperative Dis
tributiOn.

What has 1922 done for human
progress? In the United States
where last January millions of peo-
pie We're out of employment today
the industries are generally busy.
This change is however only one
movement Of that ceaseless tide of
business that keeps rising and fall
ing. Whether anything has been
done to prevent future harmful
fluctuations is a question.
While two great strikes have
caused a disastrous less, yet on the
whole labor relations have gained.
The number of strikes outside the
coal and railroad industries is less
than common for period of reviv-
ing trade. This would indicate that
the two parties to industrial relations
were learning that cooperation is
better than fighting.
In the field of agriculture, while
the farmers have suffered from low
prices for their products, yet they
have made progress to ward saving
Of expense through cooperative dis
tribution, and their young people are
taking hold of scientific production
problems.
While the treaties signed by the
Washington conference have not
been ratified as yet, that meeting
greatly improved relations in the
Pacific territory, japan has gotten
out of Shantung and Siberia. This
great gain is largely offset by the
menacing rise of the Turks to re-
new power, a needless development
caused by the dissensions of Christ
ian powers.
In the scientific world, radio tele-
graphy has made a marvellous adj
vance. In philanthropy the world is
called upon for a great outpouring
of relief for the million exiles driv-
en- out of Turkey.
In the political world, the most
! striking event has been the seizure
! of power by the Italian Fascist as
protest against bolshev,sm. Rus
STA has been forced by stern logic
of suffering to give up extreme
communism. While the world is still
staggering from war psychosis, yet
the forces of recovery have
grown more powerful during the
year. The disease of war hysteria
has run part of its inevitable course.

Fayette County Has Oldest Living
Slave

NOub'y Aus otuNot AIfNINk
Slave
Samuel Maxfield, of near Fayette,
is seriously i'll at his home. Mr..
Maxfield who is over hundred years
of age, was southern slave until
after the Civil War, being brought to
Fayette county by returning cap
tain, man by the name of Miller.
Maxfield lived in the negro settle
ment near Fayette where he received
an education in the rural schools.
He was of thrifty disposition and
soon bought tract of land which is
now his home.
In relating his experiences he re-
members of his being sold five times
and one of these times was sold to
his masters whiskey bill. He shows
no marks of slaves life and his
remarkable age is testimony of the
clean life he has lead. He is fac
tor in his community and Is we'll iik-
ed by all and his early recovery is
hoped for by everyone.-West I'M

casions a committee o. X. is equival-
ent to favorable action by the house;
committee disapproval is equivalent to
death for any legislative measure.
There are three major committees,
chairmanships of which are eagerly
sought: Ways and means, which
passes on every measure intended
to raise revenue for. the state; APP
preparations, which passes upon all
bills that propose to spend any OF
the states money; and judiciary,
which inspects every measure that
proposes to change the body of the
state law.
The result of the speakership cleo
ton will decide largely who will head
the important house committees,
choice posts usually are reserved for
those who have been faithful TO the
winner Due to the fact that he is
the only member of the legislative
taxation committee who will return
to the house, it is reported that
Moen of Lyon is being groomed in
one or two speakership camps for
the craftsmanship of ways and means.
Craftsmanship Of judiciary will
lie between Clark of Linn, Doolittle
of Delaware, Edison of Buena Vista,
and Rankin of Lee, all of whom were
leading lawyers in the house last
session. As 10 appropriations there
has been no indication. Harrison of
Pottawattamie, one Of the candidates
for speaker, was chairman of that
committee two years ago.
Anderson of Winnebago, also a
candidate for speaker, was chairman
of the house committee on agricul-
ture in the Thirty-Ninth assembly,
and he is now the ranking member
Of the committee on roads and high
ways, which usually is a battle
ground. Yenter of Johnson, world
war veteran, is back in the house
and he probably can have his oil
craftsmanship back if he wants it.
Other committees which deal with
important special interests in the
state are those on banks and bank
ing, elections, insurance, labor, mo-
tor vehicles, cities and towns, public
health, public utilities, railroads and
schools
