Tavenir Bros. Have Been. Busy.

During the past few weeks
Tavenir Bros. the we'll known ice
men, have been very busy gathering
in the 1910 ice crop. This year
they have their ice house snugly
packed with 1,400 tons of the incest,
cleanest ice they ever put up; be-
sides this large house they are also
filling smaller one with 100 tons
more; perhaps with all of this ice
it will not be enough to supply all
of the city trade, as they will be the
only ones handling ice in DEBORAH
this summer. But it is a certainty
that Tavenir Bros will try and take
care of everyone in as satisfactory
manner as possible.
They also filled ice houses belong
ing to Otto Dahljelm, Ice Cave
Creamery, Miller and Gunds beer
houses, Reum's, Haas Bros, H. J..
Hutchinson, Luther College and the
Nordness Creamery. They packed
altogether about 10000 tons.

WHY SALVES FAIL
TO CURE ECZEMA

Scientists are now agreed that the
eczema germs are lodged not in the
outer skin or epidermis, but in the
inner skin. Hence, penetrating
liquid is required, not an outward
salve that clogs the pores.
We recommend to all eczema
patients the standard prescription
Oil of Wintergreen as compounded
in liquid form known as D. d. d.
Prescription. A trial bottle of this
d. D. D. Prescription. at only %
cents, will instantly relieve the itch.
We have sold and recommended this
remedy for years, and know of WON
derful cures from it's use. We re-
commend it to our patrons. Brunt
& Parman. B3.

Made i'm Iowa

Four years ago an Illinois renter
farmer came to central Iowa with
about $4,000 capital. He is now
worth $4,000 cash. That isn't do
ing so badly. He has made that
much over and above the living of
himself and family. That's net
income hundreds of residents of
cities, many of them business men,
would be pleased to accept as the
profits of years toll.
Now this farmer is going to a
western state; he is lured by the
cheapened land; he thinks he can
make still more. Well, maybe he
can. But shouldn't lose sight of
the fact that net income of $4,000
a year is very satisfactory income
and that Iowa is very good place
in which to live, even though the
land is high priced.
There should be no lack of appli-
cants for the vacancy he leaves in
this state. The farm job that nets
$4,000 year should not have to go
begging.-Cedar Rapids Gazette.

Mrs. VIM. Elliott died at her

been sick fer the past two months,
having been troubled with Bright's

Della Murphy was born in Hart

to DEBORAH with her parents in
1865, settling in Bluffton township.
She was married to VIM. Elliott

ing been born to them, one of whom,
a little boy, with the sorrowing hus-
band survive her.
For some time past the family

moved from Bluffton out there.
Mrs. Elliott was of a gentle DISPOSE.
ton, and the possessor of beauti-
full character, and to know her was
to be her friend. The sympathy of
all is extended to the bereaved hus-
band and little boy, who are left to
mourn the loss of kind and loving
wife and mother
The funeral was held Saturday,

city, Rev. Father Have officiating,

Empire Theatre Popular Place.

The Empire Theatre seems to be
becoming more popular with our
people every day. Last week ex-
ceptionally large crowds were enter
tanned by Manager Hovden, and the
films were some of the best ever
shown here. Saturday Afternoon and
evening a fine Lincoln program was
interpreted with the regular films
special orchestra composed of
Prof. Hoar, Miss Ethel Ingvoldstad,
F. j. Helwig, Will Noecker and AL
lert Larsen, with Miss Corby as
vocalist, gave a delightful musical
program. The large crowds present
at each performance testifies to the
popularity of the theatre and enter
tainment.

TAKES A PARTNER.
j. G. Hexom, Well Known DEBORAH
Merchant, Takes His Son Philip
As u Partner.

An advertisement appeared in last
weeks Public Opinion with the Sig
nature y. C. HeXom G Son" at
tached, Mr.. HeXom having taken his
son Philip as a partner in his shoe
and grocery business. This is in
deed good news, for it keeps in De-
corah a young man of sterling worth
and character and one who will
make good in the mercantile world.
Phil spent the past year in Spo-
kane, WASH, doing commercial art
work, something that he has been
emminently successful in, and he
will continue to do this work now
as before. The American Scandi-
navian magazine of Spokane, uses
frontispieee design of Mr.. Hexom s
for every publication. The Sugar
Bowl newsstand handles this maya
zine, and we observed one of the
late frontispieces, "Ski Jumpers, -
the other day, and the work was in
deed fine. And Phil will make just
as good a merchant as he does an
artist.
Some fine improvements are be-
ing made in the store at present.
Two new display windows, one for
groceries and one for shoes, are be-
ing constructed. The grocery win
dow will be set with checker effect,
cement thing blocks set in a con-
crete base; the top will be glazed
making a marble finish. 1t will not
only be pretty window, but clean
and sanitary as we'll The shoe
window will have a hardwood floor,
and a hardwood panel background
with decorated border.
With these added improvements,
and others as well, j. c. Hexom &
Son will have one of the finest shoe
and grocery stores in N. E. Iowa.

A New Business Launched.

''The Ideal Annex" is to be the
name of a new restaurant to be
opened in about a week in the
Grand Opera House Annex, formerly
occupied by the Mrs. H. S. Topper
millinery. The proprietors are
Messrs r. j. Relf and w. S. Hust-
vedt. 1t is the intention of the
proprietors to make it an ideal
place to trade, and everything sold
will be ideal, and most of it labeled
as such. They will serve lunches,
making home baking special
feature; a special line of candies,
cigars and tobaccos will be carried,
as we'll as all the up-to-date period
icals and papers. They will install a
soda fountain, and state that they
have something decidedly new in
fancy drinks and ices on the menu
never before served here. The bal
cony in the building will be utilized
for ice cream tables. 1t surely will
make an ideal place for them.
Messrs. Relf and Hustvedt will
also specialize on ice cream cones,
as they have had much success in
the manufacture of them during the
past year and will continue to manu-
facture cones for wholesale as well
as retail use. We bespeak for them
a successful business.

Free Delivery or Cresco.

In all probability system of free
delivery of mail to the residences
and business houses of Cresco by
special carriers will be established
within the next nine months. The
postofice department establishes
free delivery when the sale of post
age stamps reaches $4,000 year.
AT the present rate of increase
Postmaster Burgess estimates that
by the close of the fiscal year, March
31st, his Office will be within $500
of the coveted prize. This shortage
is so slight that it could readily be
met if every person who would be
benefited by the service would do q
little boosting and write, say cou-
pie more letters a week, for the
next two months free delivery would
be reality. Altogether now!-

A Calmar Wagon Goes TO Norway.

A Calmar Wagon Goes TO Norway.
The fact that the H. Miller Jr.
wagon factory is sending Calmar
wagon to Europe is surely worthy
of note as it not only brings H.
Miller's popular wagon into con-
siderable prominence but also the
town of Calmar as well. Ola
Johann Saervold is the purchaser,
and the wagon is built special. Mr..
Saervold is a native of Norway,
where he owns a farm. He has been
in this country long enough to know
the special merits and advantage of
certain articles in fam machinery
and household goods of American
manufacture, and on going back to
Norway to live, he is taking back
with him several articles in these
lines. He is also exporting about
$50 of seeds grown in America. Mr..
Saervold is brother-in-law. of AL

1t has been estimated that every
twenty-four hours the earth or its at

at least 12,OOO,OOO,O00 iron and stone

Owing to the resistance offered by

No Drums In tho Middle Aces.

AS we come to the middle ages.
when the nations Of modern Europe
were struggling into existence, we find
that at first the drum was not used
at all. So, although melody had been
known and practiced for many cen
turies, rhythm had been quite forgot
ten, for what there is left to us of
the music of the middle ages contains
no bars, and we know that it was
slowly and monOtonOusly chanted,
without the least accent.
In the eleventh century. however,
things began to improve, more partic-
ularIy as the crusaders brought int
Europe all sorts of percussion instTu-
ments from the east. Various kinds of
drums, tambourines and cymbals were
then seen in Europe for the first time
since the days of savages, and they
have been used, with very little
change, ever since.-St. Nicholas.
