Why Farmers are Appealed to.

There are many special reasons why
the farmers of Howard county and its
should do all they can to pro.
mote the interests of the Howard
Comfy Agricultural Society. 1t is
theirs, and it has been an important
factor in bringing their farms, their
live stock, and their products to the
attention of the outside world, largely
TO their benefit. Two years ago at
close OF a very successful fair after
paying all the premiums and all ex-
penses in full the society found its
elf with handsome surplus for future
fairs. This was lest through the cy-
clone which swept away large share
of the buildings on the ground, and
the almost total destruction of it's en-
closure. This storm cost the society
over one thousand dollars, its officers
with unfalteripg zeal for the welfare
of the society putting the buildings
and the enclosure in as good condi-
ton as before. Then came the fair of
1895, and like the one preceding it
was a success, though the money real
lied was insufficient to pay for the re-
placed buildings and enclosure, and
leave funds sufficient to pay the prem
inns earned. 10 meet this condition
the officers of the society, G. D. Mich
OILS, j. G. Webster and B. P. Norton,
loaned from the First National Bank
$500, giving their individual note
therefor. The fourth Of July 1895
they gave on the fair grounds an after
noon in speed, sports and drill of vari-
Gus organizations for which 1925 was
realized, which was turned over to the
treasurer of the society for its use and
benefit. And these officers for all
their labor and services in the inter-
est OF the society last year received
not one cent of compensation. These
facts ought to show to the farmers
that the society through its officers
have the good of their class at heart.
Under the rules of the society they
might have paid the premiums earned
pro rata, out of the money left after
paying themselves, and for the build
ings replaced, but instead of this they
paid the premiums. borrowing the
funds for that purpose. Farmers
these men and this society deserves
your aid, encouragement and support.

Protovin School Building Dedication

The dedication of the fine school
building at Protovin last Wednesday
to be under the control of School
Sisters of the Catholic church, called
out the largest concourse Of people
ever assembled in our sister village.
The building erected at the cost of
the church and society is credit to
the village and to the church. 1t con-
tains two large rooms for school pur-
poses on the first floor, the rear be-
ing devoted to the living and culinary
department of those having charge OF
the institution.
The second floor contains five
large rooms adapted to the use of pu-
pits from abroad who may desire to
board and room in the building each
room capable of accommodating four
pupils comfortably. The curriculum
will embrace a thorough English
course and also in the Bohemian
tongue. The building has not yet
been furnished nor has the time tf
opening the school been definitely
fixed. The dedicatory address was by
Rev. Father Mccarthy and was in ex-
cellent taste and spirit. While APP
proving of the parochial school as the
means of combining spiritual in
struction with literature, science and
art he paid high compliment to the
public school system of the country
from which religious instruction was
properly excluded, because every
form OF belief and creed was repre-
sented in the pupils attending them.
A church society from Spillville and
of Protovin were in full regalia and
headed the procession in the dedica-
tory service led by a fine orchestra of
Spillville and ssProtovin. With Father
Mccarthy in the dedicatory service
were Rev Father Broz the Parish
Priest and Rev. Francis Chmelair of
Spillville and band of children in
full regalia. After the dedioatory
service an excellent dinner was served
by the ladies OF the parish in the
rooms designed for school purposes.
When dinner was over the people re-
paired to the bowery where the vast
assemblage were entertained by j. j..
Kovarik's special vocal choir as
follows:
CSopranos: Mrs. Eliz Kovarik, Miss
Cecilia Kovarik, Master Frank Kovar-
TX, Miss Mary Kovarik.
Alto: Miss Eliz. Kovarik, Miss Mary
Andera.
Tenor: John A. Dostal, Frank
Benda.
Bass: j. j. Kovarik, Spillville,
Frank Kovarik, Jos. Jarosh.
l. Bohemian Song.
2. Cantata 'Crusaders on the Sea-"
by Bazini.
This musical feat was interspersed
with a defence of the female sex by
Miss Mary Chyle, which was re-
sponded to in defence of the male sex
by Frank Petzinosky. To be married
or not to DO married was recita-
ton by Miss Mary Hruska replied to
by Charley Petzinosky, in which
Stephen Hruska, Joseph Jaros and j
Frank Soukup took part. These ex.
ercises were all conducted in the
Bohemian language and we judge
were fine from the applause of those
who understood the language and
could catch its fine points. These ex.
ercises concluded, the floor of the
bowery was cleared for those who
came to join in the dance which wa!
to conclude the program.
