WINNEsHIEK COUNTY FAIR.
At DEBORAH, August 23d to 10Th,
1909.

Secretary Caldwell of the Winnie
shiek County Fair is kept busy these
days receiving letters of inquiry for
space in all the various departments
of the fair. 1t is evident that there
will be big entries in the horse, cat
tie and hog departments and if we
are favored with a big crop, there
will be splendid exhibition of
everything in the line of farm pro-
duce. The Floral Hall will be in
charge of experienced people and as
early as this good deal of space has
already been spoken for, and we
have every reason to feel that there
will be splendid display in this de-
partment.
There never has been much real
interest taken in our county fair so
early, and it is evident that all Win
neshiek county is doing it's best to
make the county fair this year, the
BEST in our History" OF course the
Home Coming being held at the same
time and at the Fair Grounds, will
give those attending without any
doubt, the biggest weeks entertain
ment ever enjoyed in DEBORAH. AS
there will be only one admission
charged, for both big shows it is
expected that both DEBORAH and the
Fair Grounds will be taxed to it's ca
pacity, as thousands of people will
be in attendance each day.
The attractions that have already
been engaged are the best ever seen
in DEBORAH and all that is necessary
is for every one to boost the Home
Coming" and Fair. The management
feel much encouraged the way the
people are taking hold and there will
be nothing left undone to have a
gala" week, commencing Monday,
Aug. 23d. Talk "Fair''-Talk Home
Coming" invite your friends to come
and assure them in advance of Win
neshiek and Decorah's hospitality.
The programs which are now being
arranged will be announced in all
the papers, little later on, just as
soon as they are completed. Don't
make any other arrangements, but
spend the week of Aug. 23d in De-
corah-the banner city of northeast
ern Iowa.

Changes in Oommencement Program.

-
Since the announcement of the
program for commencement week of
the DEBORAH high school was made
in these columns, it has been decided
to change the date of the class play
to Friday, June 4th, so that the
graduating class will have a rest be-
tween that and commencement day,
June 10th, when Prof. Forest E. En-
sign of the state university will give
the commencement address; SUBJ
ject: I'm the Market for a Man. :"
The class play this year promises to
excel anything of the kind ever CIV
en- here. In fact there will be two
farces, Mr. Bob" and THE Worst
ed Man." the latter splendid mu-
steal comedy. The baccaleaureate
sermon will be preached Sunday
evening, June 9Th, by Rev. DR.. NJ.
Willett at the Congregational
church; subject: 1.-The World as
the Graduate Sees It."

l.. c. STATE CHAMPIONS.
While Luther College Ball Team
Wins Every Game, Tennis Club
Wins State Championship.

Luther College is certainly making
an enviable record in athletics this
year. Some weeks ago the gymnas-
tic club won the state championship,
the ball team has not yet been beat
en-, and on Friday the tennis team
won the state championship at Ce-
dar Rapids. c. A. Peterson and L..
l.. Ylvisaker represented Luther,
competing with Grinnell, Ames, Cor
nell, state university and Coe. To-
gether they won the championship
in the doubles, and Ylvisaker won
the championship as we'll in the
singles, defeating the Cornell con-
testant three straight in a hard con-
test. Luther won the championship
last year also, so taken altogether,
no college in the state has such a
reputation in athletics.

Eve Was a Lunger.

Man still carries the original num-
Der of ribs. but is short of a lung
lobe. Where did he lose it? Eve
got it. Mans right lung today con-
sists of two lobes. Let us consider
the missing lobe on the left. The
lungs, mind you, are the life. Eve
was made out Of Adams third lung
lobe on the left, the lobe nearest the
heart. She was constructed out of
wind mostly. That is-she took
part of Adams breath away. Ad-
ans posterity of the male persua-
sion in these latter days can count
on only five lobes to both lungs;
while Ewes daughters can count on
seven; which accounts for woman
having the last word in a converse
tion.-New York Press.

Death of Joseph Dickerson.

Joseph Dickerson died at his home
in Bluffton on the 18th inst, after a
lingering illness from stomach trou-
BILE. Born in New York state, Oct.
3, 1880. He was surrounded by his
family until death claimed him. He

of Lansing, Mimi. Mrs. Mary Anne
Hagadorn and Clarence of Button.
Mr.. Dickerson lived in Otter Tail
county, Minnesota, for 80 years,
coming to Button five years ago,
where he lived until the time of his
death. He was a good Christian,
belonging to the Baptist church for
40 years, a kind husband and father
and a friend to all who knew him.

residents of this county, passed

Norway, Oct. IA, 1881, and came to
this country with his parents in
1853, locating in Springfield town
ship, this county, where they took
up a homestead. Here he lived un-
til seven years ago, when he moved
TO DEBORAH. He was married to Miss
euro Christopher on March 26,
1855, who preceded him twelve

rick and Miss Emma Hulverson. The

his daughters home this Wednesday

Dealing on the Board.

A story published in the Marshall
town Times-Republican, and which
is vouched for as true illustrates
business possibilities. 1t runs as
follows: In one of our Iowa towns
man in the grain buying business
finding the regular buying and SELL
ing for the actual stuff while profit
able, slow way to fortune, began
to deal on the board of trade in Chi
cago. He made some money and
lost some, and finally closed a deal
that brought him a Chicago draft
for $1,000 and below the formal let
ter from the commission house, "en-
closed find draft for $1,000, etc."
were underscored words, Buy an
Iowa farm" But the grain man
didn't buy an Iowa farm" Rather
he continued to buck the board of
trade" He is now without dollar
on earth, and is working at days
labor to support his family, which is
creditable but kind of tough"
