TwExrY-s1x days of the Chicago stock

TwENTY-sIx days of the Chicago stock
yards strike have passed and there is no
indication that the packers and strikers
will come together, directly or by inter
mediation, and settle their differences.
1t is figured consersatively that the
money loss to all interests concerned up
10 this time is IS, 200, 900, and this
does not take into account the increased
prices of meat which the public has been
forced to pay on account of the strike.
Who is to be benefited by this long
strike or what cOmpensating gain is to
result from this great loss it is diff
cult to conjecture.

High School Field Meet Friday.

Next Friday, May 6, at Fayette, the
High Schools of northeastern Iowa
will compete for field and track
honors. The meeting will hereafter
be known as the Northeastern Iowa
Interscholastic Field and Track Meet.
The schools represented this year are
DEBORAH, Manchester, Waucoma, Ell
kader, McGregor, Cresco, Hawkeye,
Postyille, West Union. and Oelwein.
From the letters that are coming in,
from the various committees busily at
work, from the preparation being put
upon the field and track, and from the
hustle and din in general, one would
judge that the high schools were pre-
pairing for the Great Olympian games
which are to be held at the st. Louis
Fair this year.
But such is not all true. 1t is true
that the schools are to have big day
at Fayette OIL May 6. 1t shows the
increased interest in that branch of
high school work which has an all
important bearing upon those other
branches which are so essential in
actual life, and which should be en-
couraged. Besides the development,
which is the ultimate aim, comes the
medals, banners. and remnants, as an
incentive to this work, and as a con-
slant reminder of it's annual recur-
renee.
Following the meet Luther College
of DEBORAH will play a game of base
bail with Upper Iowa University. 1t
is needless to say that this will be a
closely contested game. We trust all
fans, and all those interesed in such
athletics, will make it point to be
present. The day will close with
grand banquet in the evening, at
which time the various prizes will be
presented to winers. Let us all be
there.

We were all very sorry t. hear of
Prof. E. l.. Coffeen s resignation. He
entered the school at the time the pre-
sent graduating class started on its
high school course and he will grad
uate'' with it. Prof. johnson will
no doubt fill the vacancy TO very
good advantage. The new. principal
of the high school has not yet been
elected
Several OF our teachers and students
ATTENDED the Luther Nebraska game
last Wednesday afternoon.
A much heard saying is that the
average high school graduate can not
pass an ordinary examination in the
common branches. 1t has been de-
cided that no student after this year
will be allowed to graduate without
passing a series Of examinations IN
the common branches. The A class
has just been treated to set of conn
ty teachers examination questions in
English grammar ana every MEMBER
passed with a good grade.

will be held at Cresco, May 20.

A Healthy Family.

Sam Waters was over from Frank
Vile Wednesday and told US story Of
his family which he challenges any
body in the four counties to equal as
regards the mortality record. Sam is
the modest parental progenitor of a
family of twelve children-eights sons
and four daughters-all of whom are
married and all save one have chill
dren of their own. Not one of Sam /
children have ever died, MOI has there
been single death among his chill
dren's children. Truly a record of
which anv parent might we'll be
proud, and while Teddy is looking
about for opportunities to hand out
"big family" compliments he might
pass one along to Uncle Sam. Post

A Bad Practice.

In drive of thirty miles, this week
we saw seven different bridges, the
railing on which had been used for
targets by boys and men when they
were out hunting. The ratings on
some of the bridges over the Wapsie
and Plum creek in Leroy and Freder-
lka townships have been shot into so
many times that they are almost cut
in two in number of places Some
of the vandals who imagine that they
are having fun when they destroy
public property in this way, are Ii
able to get an invitation to come into
court one of these days, when they
will have an opportunity to pay dear
for all the fun" they have had. -

The May number of Lippincott's is
notably stirring and strong from the
opening page of its novelette, through
to the close of the last short story.
Gigs from Thistles" makes Frederic
Reddale's third appearance through
the medium of long tale in this
magazine, and his work may be
honestly described as good, better
and best. This last shows maturity in
both the plot and the handling of it.
It's heroine, Janet Persis, is young and
pretty, yet too prudent to marry for
love alone, after an apprenticeship
to poverty as one of seven daughters
OF country clergyman. For this rea-
son she falls an easy prey to the
plans of an anxious mother in regard
to her son, a Barenet, of splendid ply
sique but of infantile mentality. The
wedding takes place and then the real
tale begins and the reader is devoured
with desire to know in hurry
whether the mothers amazing scheme
is to thrive or to come to naught.

Keep the Calves.

A Westgate veal man has killed and
shipped So veal calves in less than a
month. The business is being carried
OH in the same way in sumner and
other places. and really is alarming.
The dealers are not to blame. it is
their business, but just the same the
selling of the calves before they are
hardly fit for meat even. is one of
the reasons why some farmers find
that they make no money from their
business. The profit may seem long
way off in raising calves but it is
worth the patience, time and money
expended, in the END. Keep the
young stock on the farm, for it is
money in your pocket. Sumner
