There is real campaign in Europe against the corset. The queen of Italy is opposed to stays, and Carmen Sylva, queen of Rumania, wishes every woman, thin and fat, to cast off corsets and trust to Nature. "The woman who wears corsets," she says, makes a martyr of herself, and does everything possible to hinder her natural development. All that is unnatural offends my sense of beauty and is hateful to me. A tight waist 1 resent as unesthetic." Ger man scientists decry the corset on health grounds, but the German en- press is an earnest advocate of it. She not only wears stiff corset her self, but insists that her maids of honor shall not appear before her un- less tightly laced.

The Home Coming.

The Winnesheik County Home
Coming held at DEBORAH this week
was grand success. 1t was a happy
reunion for old friends and asso-
ciates. Many who had been absent
for many years took this occasion to
visit their former homes. The
weather has been all that could be
expected and the attendance is very
large. There is something doing
all the time to entertain the people
The attractions are many and good
the city is attractive in its gala at
tire, much money being spent in
decorating and beautifying the city
Surely Eecorah did herself proud in
entertaining and extending the glad
hand to her guests. The Home
Coming" will long be remembered

age Increase of POstOffice
Receipts for July.

The great showing made by the
Fargo postoftice for the month OF
July was noted some time ago, but
not until the figures for other offices
in the country have been published,
can the real significance of the stu
alton be realized.
OF fifty of the largest offices in the
United States, the average increase
percentage is S.7S, while the in
crease in Fargo was 34.73
But one other Office in the entire
list made better showing than this.
Seattle's increase, with it's thousands
of fair visitors, was ALA per cent.
Dayton Ohio, followed Fargo with an
increase of 1918 per cent while the
following go to show that Fargo is
the best city in the country: st.
Paul, 1853; Minneapolis, 1O.48;
New York, 9.54; Chicago, 1913;

Attractions of the House.

After all that has been said about
rare treasures of art and nature
that may lend attraction to a home
'and its surroundings, il remains that
the fairest home ornaments are
bright, joyous faces and where these
are wanting all else goes for little.
Bright and joyous faces always ac-
company warm and loving hearts
which all home makers must pos
sess, hence all who intend making
homes should look carefully into
their own hearts for only when
these are right can they expect their
home-making to prove satisfactory;
warm hearts make bright and cheer
full hearts but the warmest heart
cannot thaw the Icy heart. Love is
the great home-maker that makes
even the drudgery of housekeeping a
pleasure and homelife a foretaste of
the bliss of heaven. One cannot get
too much love into ones home-mak-
ing, but easily too little.

BRORBY SENDS REGRETS.
Well Known Minneapolis Attorney
Unayoidably Detained From
Attending Home Coming.

Minneapolis, Aug. 81, 1909.
Mr.. Ben Bear,
DEBORAH, Iowa.
Dear Mr.. Bear:
/ had fully intended that my re-
ply to the kind invitation to Deco
rah's Home Coming should be by
attendance at DEBORAH the whole
glorious week. And while unkind
circumstances made that impossible
at the last moment, / want to eX-
press to you, and to the good peo-
pie of DEBORAH through you, my ap-
probation of, and thanks for, De-
corah's Home Coming. And I am
sure that | voice the sentiments of
many another absent one.
In the past week l have met quite
a number of former DEBORAH
friends, and their talk has been al
together enthusiastic praise for
Home Coming Week" and graft
tude to those who were providing it.
So don't call them "quitters" be-
cause they did not happen there in
person. Their hearts are in the right
spot and they were with you in
spirit. And for your Home Coming
"CChb Will ITO VI SOOu
will from old neighbors and friends,
has warmed the heart of many who
could not partake of your hospitali-
ty on this occasion, with a renewed
and heightened glow of affection for
good old DEBORAH"
My contemporaries whom circum-
stances has called from DEBORAH to
other fields are all young yet and
their achievements lie in the future
But you will find without exception
that, when they shall have achieved
honorable mention, they will be
glad to have you old neighbors to re-
member them as a product of De-
corah, that practical city amidst po-
etic environment.
Most sincerely yours,
JOS. BRORBY.

DEBORAH UoIne Coming.

DEBORAH is without doubt enter
tanning the largest crowds this week
that it ever had within it's gates.
About $50 Cresco people went down
OH the special train yesterday morn
ing and many went by auto and
team A fine line of attractions have
been provided that keeps the big
crowds entertained from morning
until night. The industrial parade
IN the morning composed of floats
by the business men and civic socie-
ties was exceptionally fine and re-
ceived rounds of applause from the
crowds as it passed along Water
street.
The base ball game between All
sons Colts and Callahan's Logan
Squares was the chief attraction at
the fair grounds in the afternoon.
Old Cap Arson himself was OH ex-
hibiLion on first lase. Ills days -:
usefulness on the diamond have
passed, bot there is still enough
hero worship left in the average
American to make the old man
popular for some time TO come. AS
an exhibition of base ball the game
But it was the old drum corps,
which made DEBORAH famous twenty
years ago, that created the widest
enthusiasm. They certainly are the
lions of the hour in DEBORAH this
week.
1t is estimated that DEBORAH
people have expended $4,000 for
the weeks festivities. That amount
will buy lot of attractions, but
without the intelligent and per.
sistent labors of it's citizens the
Home Coming could not have been
made the success that it is.-Cresco

Liquid Refreshments.

American ingenuity crops out con-
tinually in one direction or another.
The latest fine exhibition of that
genius is reported from Clear Lake.
of Clear Lake is quite radical on the
temperance question, while many
who go to the lake to fish are not
quite so rigid on that subject, and
not few of them get thirsty while
out on the lake and they do not rel
ish lake water as a means of slack
ing their thirst, nor do they care to
take ice water with them, for doc
tors talk so much about the disease
germs that may be lurking in the ice
water. The situation was becoming
grave when certain genius and
good Samaritan conceived a meas
ure of relief He built or procured
suitable boat and had it fitted with
a neat commodious refrigerator,
and into that he stores certain
liquid beverage that is called
malt" and the lake being a
government 5Ody of water, he is
supposed to violate the laws of no
state by keeping always a certain
number of feet from shore. He
makes it point to visit every boat
on the lake and to supply them with
any refreshments in his line that
they need. Thus is life made tolera-
BILE and even pleasant for fishers at
Clear Lake-Algona Courier.
