Two ARE KILLED
IN WABASH WRECK
Switch Lock Found Filed Open and
Danger Signal Light

BY the Associated Press.
JACKSONVILLE, ILL.,, December 20.
-Tampering with switch was blamed
today by States Attorney Wolford H.
Absher as he investigated the wreck of
a Wabash passenger train that cost the
lives of two persons, injured two others
and endangered the lives of several
passengers.
The train swerved from the main line
Just inside the city limits last night,
shunted onto switch and crashed
into an oil tank car The engine and
one car overturned, drenched in a flood
of burning oil, which firemen quickly
extinguished.
The engineer, John Rapp, Springfield,
Ill, and H. L. Meyer, Decatur, ILL.,, died
from injuries Harry Ross, baggage
man from Jacksonville, was scalded,
and London Simmons, colored cook,
suffered a broken leg. The passengers
were shaken severely, but none was
hurt seriously.
Absher said preliminary investiga-
ton showed that some one filed open
the lock on the SWITCH threw 1t wide
and then removed the red danger light
that normally would show when the
switch was open.
The wreck followed closely after two
other instances of railroad violence in
Illinois. About two weeks ago a bridge
was dynamited near Taylorville, ILL.,,
and about the same time authorities
found dynamite cached under bridge
near Litchfield. III.

NEEDY GIVEN HOGS
BY IOWA FARMERS
Move Under Way in Several
Counties Nation.W Wide
Adoption Suggested.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press,
DES MONIES, December 29.-Hogs
are becoming the Iowa farmers 1.-THE
for the poor and unemployed
The reason for this "give-some- hogs"
movement, which has started in several
counties of the State. is simple. While
Iowa farmers lack cash. they do have
hogs-about i 1,350000 Of them.
With the animals at their present
low prices. relief groups find many
hog raisers willing to contribute few
hogs to aid the poor in cities and
towns.
Meat Cutters Get Jobs.
In instances where tie movement
has been placed in operation county
groups generally take charge of the
collection of the animals, the butcher
ing and the distribution, of the meat.
Webster County has varied the plan
somewhat by buying hogs from farmers
on credit. placing idle meat cutters at
work to do the butchering. and in this
way obtaining meat for the poor cheap
ly while aiding farmers at the same
time.
Four hundred pounds of sausage was
distributed to needy families in and
d
ers had offered to butcher hogs for the
purpose.
Washington butchers ground the
meat without charge and distributed 1t
on orders signed by the county over
seer of the poor.
Truck Operator Aids.
In Union County committee asked
farmers to donate 100 hogs for the
relief of families of unemployed In
Creston and vicinity. A truck operator
without charge.
I j. Banks of Montour. Iowa. has
ar coated that the movement be made
: ION wide Banks during the war
suggested the plan. which he said was
responsible for raising several million
of dollars among farmers OF the United
States and Canada for the Red Cross.
At that time he proposed that each
farmer set aside an acre. to be called
"Old Glory Acre and donate its crop
t. the Red Cross.
His suggestion is that farmers give
every tenth hog of those now being fed
for market when it has matured to the
weight of about 200 pounds
Sees Aid to Prices.
This. he says, will provide millions
of pounds free for the needy and Will
reduce the market supply one-tenth." >"
Consequently, he believes. the remain
ing nine-tenths of the farmers supply
will net him more than if he had not
given one-tenth to charity.
There also are indications that the
hog may become a factor in the bar
ter" practice which has appeared in
some Iowa communities. and it Is con-
sidered that it may not be unusual for
a farmer to bring a hog to town to
trade for shoes or other merchandise.
A. L. Urick, secretary of the State
Emergency Relief Committee, said a
suggestion had been made to one county
board of supervisors that 1t accept hogs
in payment of taxes on farms. The
man who made the suggestion, he said,
explained that farmers have no money
for taxes, but they do have hogs"

probably severe colds. Despite the un-
reliability of the statistics, however, he
said that the general situation seemed
to be that there was an increase in
cases of mild influenza, although the
situation probably will not reach
epidemic proportions and offers no cause
for alarm.
Influenza IL increasing throughout the
country, according to the Public Health
Service.
The total from 35 States was 43 3,997
cases, as against 35,704 from all the
States but Georgia for the previous
week
The health service again emphasized
that influenza, because of the large
number of mild cases that physicians
do not attend. is a disease poorly re-
ported. and that the actual spread Is
probably from to 10 times the number
of cases reported.

Adults lived In that house, and there
wasn't a place or anything In 1t that
might belong to a little girl. Finally
one day when she had heard more than
the customary number Of 'dont's' she
asked IN that sweet, direct, appealing
way little folks have, What can't l
don't?' And she wanted an answer.
That's all there Is to the story Mrs.
Eldred," Mrs. z. w. assures me. "But
why do people so soon forget how IL
feels to be a child? Why do people
build such fine homes, packed fun of
such nice things that there is a neceS-
sity for don'ting all day long?"
The answer is that there is too much
pretension. If there is nice furnItIIre

ton for climbing and sliding. Lamps,
in fact every precious fragile object
which makes a home both livable and
beautiful, offer an obstacle to q child's
perfect freedom.
There is no suggestion here, I hope,
that the solution Is to let the child act
as he pleases no matter what befan the
furniture. That Is no solution at all
But 1t does mean that there has to be
some compromise between the two.
There is no excuse for making the
child's life a torment in order to pre-
serve the furniture. If the furniture
must be preserved give the child a spot
Of his own in which he can act in har-
mony with the dictates OF childish
nature.
Mrs. e. w. assures me that this is
true story, and I don't doubt it. There
are too many just like it. Ruby was an
only child born to middle-aged parents,
who still lived with the grandparents.
Naturally, she was q little girl to out
