IOWA'S GAS TAX SO FAB
BEINGS IN UNDER $100,000
Des Moines, la.. May 22. Receipts
during the first month of operation
of Iowa's new gasoline tax law have
been a little less than 100 thousand
dollars. State Treasurer Ray John
son said today. It will probably be
ten days before the actual amount
will be known, as some disputes be
tween gas dealer.8 and the state re
main to be adiusted. Members of the
legislature had estimated the law
would produce about 380 thousand
dollars a month.
Mr. Johnson said the names of
about 5 hundred motorists, whose
car numbers wen? taken in an inves
tigation of "gas smuggling" at Rock
Island. 111., would be obtained within
a day or so from the state auto de
partment, and that they would be

NEBRASKA
The current issue of the North
west Post of Belle Fourche, South
Dakota, contains a very interesting
letter from Editor Bert Kirkham of
the paper, who is at the Mayo hos
pital at Rochester, Minnesota, tak
ing treatment, and where Mrs. Kirk
ham was operated on recently. Mrs.
Kirkham is a daughter of llr. and
Mrs. M. M. Beaal of this city and
Mr. Kirkham is a brother of City
Treasurer John E. Kirkham. The
letter is as follows:
"Mrs. Kirkham entered St. Mary's
hospital last Monday afternoon, and
on Tuesday morning at 8:30 she
underwent a rather serious opera
tion, performed by Dr. Wm. J. Mayo.
She is now getting along very nice
ly, but it will be a couple of weeks
or more before she is able to get
around. By the way, I am told that
St. Mary's is the largest hospital
in the U. S. The new' addition was
built at a cost of $2,500,000, and
the. institution occupies about two
square blocks. There are eleven
operating rooms and700 beds, all
the interior, stairways, floors, etc.
being marble, and the rooms mod
ernly furnished throughout.
"Rochester is a city of 16,000 pop
ulation, but I am informed that
there are 5,000 transients here ev
ery day. I believe thi3 is the cleanest
and prettiest little city in the coun
try and comes as nearly being a
'dustless town as possible. All of
the streets are paved and the resi
dence district is laid out like parks.
with large handsome trees and
shrubbery everywhere. I haven't
seen a fence in the city and realty
have only noticed one or two one
story residences. They are all two,
three and four story buildings, with
paved walks, neat lawns, flower
gardens and stately trees. There
are a half-dozen motor sprinklers
operated by the city, and all the
streets are washed several times
daily. These machines shoot the
water out in front instead of behind
and the stream extends the entire
width of the street. There are thirty-five
hotels in this city, a dozen or
so huge apartment builmngs anu
hundreds of private homos, where
rooms and board may be procured.
The three theatres are crowded to
capacity at each performance and If
1 had a few hundred thousand dol
lars to invest, I'd sure 'take a shot'
at building a modern.
picture, show right here. The Mayo
park, through which the Zombro
river wends its way, is one of the
many points of interest, and here a
good sized zoo is maintained: a
large concrete band auditorium,
green house, beautiful flowers,
shrubbery and trees everywhere.
Sight-seeing cars make trips every
hour, and before leaving here we
expect to take in all of the pretty
places. The city is well supplied
with churches, schools, lodge halls,
etc., and, the whole town looks as
though it had been laid out by land
scape artlsts everything looks so
neat and well proportioned. .Last
j Herbert Heil, one of the gradu
ates of the class of 1925 of the Louis
iville high school, had the misfortune
.to suffer very painful injuries last
(Thursday when he was going home

took fright at an automobile and ran
against a fence. The fence post pro
jected out a considerable - ways and
Herbert's right leg was cut and torn,
the gash being very deep, almost to

i uncle, John Wegener, and Mrs. Weg-

,and he then came back to Dr. E. H.
vorthman s office where he was given
medical attention. In spite of the
fact that his leg pained him badly
and he was stiff and sore, he was
able to attend the commencement
exercises in the hall that night and
j take his part on the program and ac-
ijunieu iiiiiiMtfii -very i remit iiy.
By a stranee coincidence, another
member of the senior class. Miss
Evelyn Jackman, was almost incapa
citated to appear in her place on the
program, as the week before she
figured in an automobile accident in
which she received a broken leg, the
limb being fractured in two places
just above the ankle. However, she
displayed the same grit and de
termination not to mar the program
and she appeared in a wheel chair.
If these two cases are samplei- of
the stick-to-it-tiveness cf the whole
class there is no doubt but that they
are far along on the highway of suc

deserve especial credit for the effort
they made to do their part. Louis
