DR.. Whitbeck takes them all in. The
Toxic, Japan, Veterinary College

and for some time experienced to the
fullest extent the trials and vicissi.
tudes incumbent upon the launching
and building of such an enterprise.
At first its circulation was very limited
and alike its resources, as may be H.
Illustrated by the fact that at the be-
ginning Mr.. Anundsen had partner
in the business, whose half interest he
purchased during the first year for a
little over seven dollars, having three
months time in which to pay the
amount. But it was not long before
it began to find its place in those
families for which it was intended.
and to its credit may be said that
every year has seen a steady, gradual
increase in rhe number of its readers,
until now it stands at the head of all
newspapers of its kind, with an aver
age circulation of 1925.
The large building occupied by the
DEBORAH Posten on Wa ihington street

equipment for the making of great

Stand by the County Fair.

Do the people of Winnesheik county
want a county fair! This is ques-
tion which will have to be settled
next week Quite a number of the
fair associations throughout the state
have disbanded and given uD fairs on
account of lack of patronage and
heavy loss in Indictment weather The
Winnesheik County Fair has been
carried right on every year regardless
of it's financial condition. the busi
ness men of DEBORAH carrying its bur-
{ dens at repeated times when there
| were losses. Last wear it stormed each
closed it was found that there was a
deficit of about a thousand dollars
The association might have done what
dozens of other fair associations
throughout the west have done the
past few years and refused to pay the
premiums, etc. There was nothing TO
compel them to do it. except the voice
of the business men of DEBORAH, who
said mo, pay the premiums, and we
will stand as guarantees This they
did, and some twenty-fv signed a
note to get the money to pay the bills.
The people of DEBORAH have always
been very liberal in these matters.
But you can't ride a free horse to
death. If. the people of the county
want a fair they must patronize it,
Bring in your stock, your vegetables,
your fancy work, and anything you
have to exhibit, and help to make next
weeks fair great success. Nothing
but large crowd can make success
full fair 1t is up to the people of the
oountyS If you want fair, come in
two or three days, bring your whole

Miss BisselI Would Resign.

the public schools from Miss Esther
Bissell of Oregon. ILL.,. asking that
she might be released from her con
tract as teacher of English. a letter
following which stated that she had
been offered better position in the
Mason City schools. On account of
the near approach to the opening of
the schools, and the valuable services
rendered by her in this capacity last
year, the board thought best to refuse
the request, and unless different ar
rangements are made she will doubt
less continue in the work here.
