 He was about forty years of az e and had been q resident of this city the greater portion of his man. hood.
 At the time of his death he was cashier of the Monticello Bank which position he had filled for over year. .
 He leaves mother, wife and one daughter, besides host of relatives and friends to mourn his demise.
 The heart-broken family have the sympathy of our people in their great loss.
 The remains were inferred at Oakland Cemetery. at 6 o'clock Wednesday evening after impress i've funeral services at the family residence by Rev. Sam H. Camp bell.

Indigestion is often caused by over eating. An eminent authority says the harm done thus exceeds that from the excessive use of alcohol. Eat all the good food you want but don over load the stomach. A weak stomach may refuse to digest what you eat. Then you need good digestant like kodol, which digests your food with out the stomach's aid. This rest and the wholesome tonics Kodol contains soon restore health. Dieting unneces- sary. Kodol quickly relieves the feel ing Of fulness and bloating from which some people suffer after meals. Absolutely cures indigestion.

Teachers Salaries.

EDITORS HERALD:-It seems to me
the Board of Education makes a
great mistake when it cuts, or makes
too low, the wages of the teachers in
our public schools. We can not afford
to have any but the best Of teachers.
The best are the cheapest. even at
what might be called high wages by
some. Because 0skaloosa did not pay
as much as in other places. some of
our best teachers left us, and went
elsewhere. And now, as | understand.
we are about to lose another of our
very best teachers on this account. |
refer to Miss Mae ]. Evans. 1t
seems to me that instead of lowering
her wages they should be raised, in
recognition of long, faithful and able
services.
1t may be asked, VIVA / incentive
has a good teacher of long and faith
full service to remain in the profess
ion If instead of raising her wages
they are lowered, as in the case of
Miss Evans, when they were already
too low. Good teachers can only be
had and retained by paying them
liberal wages. How can a qualified
teacher afford to remain in the pro-
fession for s35 per month, or 1915 per
year? Or even at $40, $45, $50, or $40
per month for nine months in the
year, year in and year out? Qualified
ambitious young men, especially, will
not remain long in the profession at
such wages. There is a dearth OF
good teachers in Iowa because too low
wages are paid.
1t is to be hoped that the Board
will reconsider its action, and make a
more equitable adjustment Of the
wages of our teachers. In my opin-
ion, instead of being lowered they
should rather be raised. In my
younger days | was a teacher myself
for awhile, and know something of
the trials and tribulations of the pro-
fession. Let justice be done to the
teacher as well as to the taxpayer, is
the sentiment of our people if | mis-
take not. But in any event do not
lower the standard of teaching, but
rather raise it.

The Red River Valley

AS this is the beginning of the sea-
son, when agents are flooding the u
try with advertising matter about
land in South Dakota, Kansas, Mis-.
souri,, Oklahoma, etc, we thought it
would be well to again remind the
readers of the HERALD that we have
located an Office at Crookston, Mimi,
in the famous Red River Valley of
Dakota and Minnesota, the most pro,
ductive country on the face of the
earth, and that in dealing with us you
are not dealing with strangers, but
with people with whom you are all
well acquainted. 1t is very easy to
ascertain u method of doing bust
ness, whether honest or dishonest.
Again, in dealing with US you are saw
ing money. for we are not dealing
through other agents, but put you in
touch with the owner of the land.
This saves you a double commission,
which you pay when buying through
other agents. Is this worth anything
to you? Another point we want to
remind you of is this: Don't con-
found Red River Valley land with
land in South Dakota, Kansas, Mis-
souri, and Oklahoma, for the land in
the Red River VALLEY is as far super
ior to the above as is that of Iowa or
Illinois. Remember, the Red River
Valley is out of the hot wind belt.
Can they say as much for the other
states which we have mentioned?
There have been only two partial fail
ures in the Red River Valley in twen-
ty years. Compare that with the
above named states and see how they
look.
The soil in the Red River Valley is
black, such as you find on the best
Iowa farms. and from two to six feet
deep. The rainfall in the Valley is a
little more tnan that of Iowa. You
are always assured of a crop in the
Red River Valley, and why a farmer
who has a few hundred dollars will
stay here and rent, and barely make
a living, when ne can buy a on
quarter section of land in the Red
River Valley from $40 to S25 per acre
which is equal to our best land valued
at $S5 to 800. is more than we can
understand. Every acre in the Valley
will produce as much as the best Iowa
or Illinois land.
If you think we have exaggerated.
all we ask you is to go with us, and
If you still think so when we get there
we will pay your fare and all expen-
ses. We a make you rates of about
$50 for the round trip every first and
third Tuesday in each month, or will
take parties of three or more any
time convenient to you.
Respectfully yours,
GEsMAN Bros. & WHEELER.
