August Hagemann, Meets Tragic
Death on Friday Afternoon.

News comes from Festina of the
drowning on Friday afternoon about

rains of late had swollen the creek to
such an extent that the water was
quite deep, and in some way he got
into place where the water was over
his head, and was drowned before any
assistance could be given him. Upon
learning of this sad misfortune, the
neighbors went to the creek and re-
covered his body, which was carried
to his home.

An exchange tells of school boy
who was compelled by his teacher to
write an essay ON the mouth, and this
is what he wrote: ''The mouth is the
front door of the face, it is the aper-
ture of the cold-storage of our
anatomy. The mouth is the hot-bed
of toothache. The mouth is the Grim
son aisle to the liver; it is the
fountain of patriotism and the tool
chest for pie. Without the mouth the
politician would be wanderer ON the
face of the earth and go down to dis
honored grave. 1t is the grocer's
friend, the orators pride, the dentist &
hope. 1t is temptations lunch counter
when attached to a maiden, and to-
bacco's friend when attached to man.
1t puts some men on the rostrum and
some in Jail. 1t is the home of that
unruly member, the tongue. Without
it married life would be a summer
dream and the dude would lose half
his attractions.

The supreme court ruled last week
that the sale of liquor to bootleg
gers and other resident violators of
the Iowa law cannot be prohibited
when the sales are made by the agents
of nonresident dealers. The court
holds that the section of the Iowa
liquor law known as the "mulct law" "
prohibiting such sales, is in conflict
with interstate commerce laws and is
therefore unconstitutional.

A certain farm in the west is well
fenced with wire strung on posts set a
rod apart. There is nothing peculiar
about this, but the owner has painted
all the posts barn red, and given
them white cap and so every
one who goes by the farm and wants
to know whose farm that is, can then
turn toward the gable end of the big
barn, and there is the name of the
owner in big white letters. BY doing
this he has made his place landmark.

livin'."

Decorah is now at its prettiest. The
yards and streets are clean, and the
trees and lawns are at their best. In
serveral places, however, the side
walks are in poor shape Property
owners of both towns have been no
titled to repair, and they should give
this their immediate attention. Don't
put it Off
