GLOVE AND MITTEN WORKS.
A Visit to The DEBORAH Glove and
Nlitten Works Factory Revealed
Busy Institution.

Yesterday the writer had the
pleasure of a visit to and inspection
of The DEBORAH Glove and Mitten
Works, in the old Wooden Mill
building. This manufacturing con-
Germ was established about two
years ago and has been steadily
growing ever since, employing now
about twenty hands, with an extern
sive output of fabric gloves and
mittens each week. Their goods
are being used in many states: New
York, Nebraska, Kansas, the Da-
kotas, Minnesota Illinois and, of
course, throughout Iowa, with or
ders coming in from many other
places. The goods have given the
best of satisfaction wherever used
and it is stated by those, who have
reason to know, that there are none
better made
The prorrietors, B. Anuniscn, 0.
]. Ness, X. T. Neste and r. B. Ber-
geson, are to be congratulated on
the success they have attained in the
conduction of this concern. In fact,
the business has now grown to such
proportions and is in such healthy
condition that a much larger capital
can be used, which will enable a
much larger output and, of course,
bring still more satisfactory returns
10 the investors.
We understand it is the intention
of the owners to organize a company
with capital stock of $4,000 or
$4,000 and place the business in
the hands of corporation. We feel
this is an easy matter for them to
do and hope to see the company
formed immediately. 1t will be a
good thing for all concerned and
also a good thing for DEBORAH, for
it means steady enjoyment to a
large number of people, thereby put
ting a good many hundreds of dol
lars into circulation in this city.
Let everybody boost it and in q.
short time you will see a fiourishing
factory here that the citizens can
we'll be proud of.

SEED CORN TO BE SCARCE.
Iowa Farmers Will be Hard Pressed
for Corn to Plant This Spring.

Where can we get our seed corn
for this spring? This question is be-
ing asked by very large percentage
of the corn farmers throughout the
whole state of Iowa, according to
one of the professors of the state
agricultural college at Ames, who
has been doing extension work this
winter at farmers Institutes. And
the pathetic part of it all is" &C
cording to the same authority,
about all we can answer is, we
don't know" Practically all of the
corn in Iowa this year was caught
by the October freeze; so per cent
of it, so say the best informed, will
not grow, showing the imperative
need of testing every ear. The same
conditions that prevail in Iowa pre-
vail in a large number of neighbor-
ing states, though South Dakota
claims she has much good corn.
Farmers are advised that where they
can get last years corn that shows
good termination that seed will be
about the best, provided they can get
none of this years. 1t is dangerous
to get corn from southern districts
for northern use, while buying in
larEe quantities from outsiders is
dangerous unless the corn has been
bought in small amounts beforehand
and tested.
This year the price of good seed
corn is not asked, but only "Havc
you any seed corn?" AS high as $96
for ten ears has been paid, while a
price of 81 or So per bushel for
guaranteed corn is not expected to
be remarkable. Few farmers have
any to sell; they are all buyers and
many are testing their old seed If
they are lucky to have any. In this
matter of old corn for seed, one of
the largest seed companies in Iowa
recently bought 1900 bushels of
1908 corn from farmer In north
western Iowa, paying 81 per bushel
in the crib. They have sent two
men to the farm who will test all of
this corn, and it will be used for
selling for seed They expect to get
60 per cent of the ears that will
terminate.

How many busy nousekeepers
know the value of a veritable "chil-

clear your table, leaving the dishes
piled in the kitchen to be washed
in the morning, and devote the hour
to your children. You are tired-it
rests you. Then, too, your children
will learn to look forward to their
hour with you, and your companion
ship and influence will be of great
value, and mean much to your chill
dren. Let them bring their troubles
their joys and hopes to you, and
never, never be too busy or too hur-

Miss Hortense NJ. Harder, who re-

Trick of the Willy Three.

Mark Twain was a firm believer in
the national movement for good
roads, and has many good tale to
tell about the incredibly bad roads of
some sections.
A Hartford man recalled the either
day this experience of the famous hu-
morist:
81 once had thirty miles, so Mark
Twain began--"to 60 by stage in Mis-
sissippi. The roads were terrible,
for it was early spring. The passen-
gers consisted of five men and three
women-three large well developed
women, swathed in shawls and wells,
who kept to themselves, talking in
low tones on the rear seat.
"Well, we hadn't gone mile be-
fore the stage got stuck two feet in
the black mud. Down jumped every
man of us, and for ten minutes we
tugged and jerked and pulled till we
got the stage out of the hole.
1--WE had hardly got our breath
back when the stage got stuck again,
and again We had to strain our very
hearts out to release her.
I'm covering fifteen miles we stuck
eight times; and in going the whole
thirty we lifted that old stage out of
the mud seventeen times by actual
count.
1--WE five male passengers were wet,
tired and filthy when we reached our
destination; and so you can imagine
our feelings when we saw the three
women passengers remove, as they
dismounted, their wells, their shawls
and their skirts, and 10, and behold
they were three, big, hearty, robust
men.
LAS we stared at them with bulg-
ing and ferocious eyes, one of them
said:
"'Thanks for your labor, gents.
We knowed this road and prepared
for it. Will you licker? "-Minne-

SHOOTING NEAR COLUMBIA.
p. j. Meetze Badly Wounded by G.
A. Lacon Monday.

Columbia, Nov. 7.-Physicians at
tending NJ. P. J. Meetze, who to-day
was shot by G. A. Lacon, said to-
night that the patients condition is
not alarming, although it may be sew
eral days before he is out Of danger,
if no other complications set in. Mr..
Meetze was shot through the arm and
in the thigh, below the groin. In
the event that the clothing carried in
to the wounds cause irritation, the
wounds may prove fatal. Otherwise
Mr.. Meetze will recover.
The shooting took place four miles
from Columbia, where the Monticello
road crosses Crane Creek.
The trouble seems to have arisen
as follows: Mr.. L. J. Frink, the
owner Of the land, sold the wood on
it to the penitentiary authorities,
and they in turn sold some of it to
Mr.. Lacon, Last Friday Mr.. Lacon
went to the place to get some Of the
wood. Mr.. Meetze, who had rented the
place, saw Mr.. Lacon getting the
wood, and he came out Of his house
with shotgun and ordered him of,
it is said. 1t is also stated by wit
nesoes that he abused Mr.. Lacon very
considerably. Mr.. Lacon left and
went before Magistrate E. H. Frost
and swore out a warrant for the
arrest of Meetze-alleging disorderly
conduct, etc. This case was to have
been heard this afternoon.
This morning Mr.. L. J. Frink and
certain of the guards went out to the
place with Mr.. Lacon, to see that he
got the wood. AS soon as Mr.. Meetze
saw them he came out and ordered
Mr.. Lacon to leave. He had his gun
in his hands. Mr.. 'Lacon ordered
him to stop, but instead of doing so
he advanced rapidly, and then Mr..
Lacon picked up his gun from out OF
the wagon and shot him in the groin.
Mr.. Lacon came to the sherih at
once and surrendered. It Is report
ed that Mr.. Meetze has some hopes Of
recovery.
