HOME COMING PROGRAM.
First Official Announcement of Pro-
gram of Weeks Attractions
Published Today.

On the fourth page of this issue will
be found the official general program
for the great Winneshiek County
Home Coming Festival and Winnie
shiek County Fair, to be held in
Decorah during the entire week of
August 23 to 29. For several months
the committees have been at work
preparing this program, and they
feel that in presenting it, the peo-
pie of northeastern Iowa and all
who will visit Decorah that week
will agree that it offers a program of
amusements and attractions such as
has never before been attempted In
this section of the country. While
it involves the expenditure of large
sums of money, yet the committees,
representing the people Of Decorah
and Winneshiek county, feel that
ample remuneration will be found in
the getting together of the residents
of Winneshiek county, present and
past, IN great family reunion, and
that the Importance of the occasion
demands the utmost endeavor to en-
tertain in manner befitting such an
event.
Necessarily, the program outlines
the events of the week only in a
general way. 1t is impossible to en-
umerate all that will take place dur
ing that eventful week at this time
In fact several additional attractions
and amusements not yet announced
are now being negotiated with, and
it is more than probable that many
secured between now and August
23d. In the base ball line, for in
stance, attempts are now being made
to secure some of the very best teams
in the country, so that the lovers of
this popular game, and who are not,
may see some of the best ball play
ers of the nation during the week
Readers may be assured that every
thing engaged up to this time is the
very best possible to secure in each
line. The open air attractions are
given the highest endorsements
wherever they have appeared, and
are such as are usually presented by
state fairs. Everything has been
provided with an eye single to a
week of superior entertainment and
pleasure for everyone, and at present
the indications are that Decorah will
entertain the largest crowd in it's
history during the eventful week of
August 1929.

SUICIDE AT SPILLVILLE.
Matthias Bena While Temporarily
Insane Cuts His Throat and
Falls Into the River.

On Friday morning Coroner A. J..
Swezey was called to Spillville in
answer to telephone informing
him of the finding of the dead body
of Matthias Bena, an old resident of
that place, in the river not far from
his home.
In company with Deputy, Sheriff
j. H. Blaess he went to Spillville,
where be found that Mr. Bena has
been insane at different times, and
had been in the hospital at Indepen-
dence on two or three occasions, for
some time. OF late he had been act
ing quite strangely, and the family
had kept close watch of him, but
some time early Friday morning,
probably three or four O'Clock, he
left the house. Missing him upon
awakening, the family started out to
hunt for him, going to various
places. and finally his wife discover
ed his body lying in the river, in
shallow water. She called TO some
men who we're working at the house,
and they went to the river and re-
covered the body, finding that his
throat had been cut. 1t is believed
that he went into the river and then
cut his throat, thinking if death did
not result from cutting his throat
he would drown.
Coroner Swezey summoned a jury
consisting Of Edward L. Winn, Jo-
seph Kapinos and j. j. Haug, and
after due consideration they return
ed verdict that the deceased had
come to his death by suicide from
drowning in. the Turkey river near
his home. having at the same time
cut his throat.
Mr.. Bena was about Sc, enty years
of age, and leaves wife and several
children. He had lived in Spillville
good many years, and when in his
right mind, was an upright. indus
trious man and good citizen.

More Good Road Work.

The citizens of Decorah and vicin-
ity generally will be glad to learn OF
the extensive Improvement which
has been made in the road along the
Dugway, under the supervision of
ID. c. Graham, chairman of the city
street committee and E. T. Reed.
street commissioner. For years this
road has been really dangerous to
travel, on account of it's narrowness
and bad condition. 1t has been Wild
ened out so that teams can pass con-
veniently at almost any point, the
road graded and scraped smooth. and
with the exception of small rock,
which will soon be ground down by
travel, is in splendid shape 1t is an
improvement greatly desired, as it is
one of the most beautiful drives in
the county. and now can be used
more frequently with safety.
Another commendable improve
ment noted during the past week has
been the removal of the larger rocks
and stones from the city streets,
which have been a menace to travel
for some time They are of no avail
In the making of roads. and their
removal has greatly improved the
condition of the streets. Now, if the
~ officials will Only learn to use
the King drag industriously more
extensively after rains the streets
Will show wonderful improvement.

The campaign for individual drink
ing cups on railroad trains through
out the state is commendable, but it
occurs TO us that some attention
should also be given to the manner
in which drinking water on trains
is supplied. Our observation has
been that there is as much need of
sanitary regulations at division
points where water tanks are filled
and iced as in other respects. One
has only to watch the ordinary train
crew at work filling these tanks with
drinking water to surfeit himself
against drinking the water supplied.

THE TIPPING NUISANCE.

Many Of those who go away on va
cation trips this summer will find the
tipping habit, a bad custom borrowed
from Europe, to be more firmly en-
trenched than ever. In many hotels
and restaurants, after having paid a
round price to the proprietor, we are
taxed again to make the servant feel
he gets square deal. The proprie-
tor takes it out of the servant by
reducing his wages to make up for
his tips, consequently in effect the
public pays two prices to the pro-
prietor.
There are so many people who en-
joy an ostentatious display of
wealth, that this habit will not be
eradicated. But there are thousands
of plain people who object to paying
twice for one service, and yet who
want servants well paid. In some
cities mo tip" hotels and restaur-
ants are proving Immensely popular.
The servant in such places gets on
a freer and more Independent basis.
The public is spared the present en-
barassing quandry of feeling mean
when refusing to tip, and of feeling
itself the victim of graft when yield
ing to the demand. Patronize the
mo Tip hotels.
