Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1910-01-12

There is no happiness in life,
there is no misery like that growing
out of the dispositions which conse-
crate or desecrate the home. Home
should be so truly home that the
weary, tempted heart can turn to 1t
anywhere on the dusty highway of
life and receive light and strength.
What blessing it is when weary
with care and burdened with care
and sorrow, to have home to which
we can go and there in the midst of
friends we love, forget our troubles
and dwell in peace and quietness.
Home is the chief school of human
virtue. It's responsibilities, joys, sor-
rows, smiles, tears, hopes and soli-
citudes form the chief interest Of
human life.

MIR. TATLOW RETURNS

Samuel Tatlow who lived here
from 1889 to a few years ago, has re-
turned from his home in Oklahoma
to visit here for a few weeks. Mr..
Tatlow is a con-in-law of Mr.. and
Mrs. Geo. Heaton and the family are
at Wapello.
Mr.. Tatlow has half section in
Oklahoma, and has been doing well
but he was run over by wagon last
fall, and is still suffering somewhat
from it.
He is republican and living in a
democratic administration at home
says a good republican isn't counted
much better than thief and liar
under those. conditions.
They have prohibition and boot
logging, hot times, high taxes and
half the former salon keepers and
bar tenders in the jails. Mr.. Tatlow
is a temperance sympathizer himself
but is disappointed in the, way things
are going down there.
All of this goes to show that, exc
cutting law, lies in the hands of the
people and the officers combined, and
we may expect to get busy and stay
busy until local option is tried out
thoroughly.

going to enjoin the city council from
paying the 500 already appropriated
to aid the K. of P. people in their
work, and there Is an equal amount
of talk of sending strong commit
tee to the enjoiners to demand that
he or they donate $40 each to the
K. of P. fund, and also place $40
along with the others in the festival
guarantee fund, It's only natural
that if the-K.~of P. committee loses
it's city appropriation;-the people and
the choral society will go out and ham,
mer an equal amount out of the ele-
ment opposing the appropriation. Our
Pythian friends' and the music loving
people are getting into deep water,
and the deeper the water, the closer
they will line upan the determination
to carry their undertakings to over
whelming success.t The average in
dividual is getting. interested now,
and when the committees feel the ef-
feet of widespread individual effort in
offering the things needed and in
selling season tickets, their own plans
will be- the more effective because
they will be relieved of the embar-
easements of doubts and opposition OF
the untra-conservative in their own
ranks.

VI. w. A. DEMONSTRATION

Last Sunday the order of Modern
Woodmen and the Royal Neighbors
assembled at the lodge hall and
marched in a body about fifty strong
to the Jason Lee Memorial church
where seats hid been reserved for
them for the Mcthers' Day service. All
the member v ore white chrysanthe-
NUNS and ferns and the address by
Rev. G. A. Edwards was mastery.
The church was we'll filled there be-
ing large number of men present,
and as part of the sermon was along
lines of purity in thought and deeds,
advocating the single standard OF
morality for both men and women,
the address appealed directly to
them. The speaker aroused an espe-
cial interest by quoting some eminent
divine who said,
9TH happiest days of my life,
Were spent in the arms of another
mans Wife"
But they recovered their equilib-
rum when it was explained that the
"Other mans wife was the mother
of the man quoted.
Mrs. S. w. Wilson rendered solo,
and a quartettt consisting of the
Misses Kiefer and Wright, and
Messrs. Max Smith and S. B. Willis,
rendered my Mothers Prayer

SUCCESSFUL WITH FINE HOGS

Mrs. F. T. Dubois has just shipped
a carload of fine thoroughbred hogs
to Jerome for the syndicate operating
under the Messrs. Kuhn of Pittsburg.
The shipment consisted of A head,
all registered or entitled to registra-
tion, and the product of their farm
across the river or what they ship
ped in from Illinois to start the herd.
Mrs. Dubois has been breeding
these fine porkers the past three
years, buying some in the east and
some of e. M. Kennedy of this place,
and during all the difficulties Of con-
ducting this work she has been a
consistent and active booster for
Idaho and for better breeds of stock.
Mrs. Dubois says she has made a
nice profit on the hogs, and feels
much gratified at her success this
far.

BIG DOINGS IN JUNE
The Knights of Pythias Convention
and The Musical Festival
In June

The Knights of Pythias want to
engage two hundred rooms at paying
prices, for use of delegates during
the X. of p. convention, June 1917.
Persons having rooms should COM
municate with Max Smith at the
Bridge Street Barber Shop or Frank
Farmer at the post office. Do not
wait for the committee to hunt you
up for they have other things to do,
and the profits of the transaction go
to you and not to them. They will
simply list your rooms and send you
the business if you get in early
enough.
The K. of P. members are transact
ing business nowadays with many diff
ferent people on different matters,
all looking to increase of business for
Blackfoot and increased work for
themselves for which they receive
nothing. Last Tuesday night after
the city council decided on their ap-
preparation, they placed an order by
wire for $3.50 worth of flags to be
used in decorating the town. This
means $500 flags and banners, rang
ing in size from the small ones up to
forty feet in length. The Idaho Con-
solidated Power company are prepar-
ing to furnish large number of red
white and blue lights to adorn the
streets during this three days con-
vention, which comes also on the
dates of the June Musical Festival to
be given by the Choral society, and
while fifty or sixty good men and
women are putting up $40 apiece in
advance bsides buying season tickets,
to guarantee the financial end of the
musical festival the X. of P. commit
tees are working overtime to pro-
vide means of giving the town the
most beautiful appearance it has ever
had, so the festival people can reap
the benefits also.
There is a rumor that somebody is

SOME GOOD BANKS

The Arco Advertiser of last week
speaks of the Bank of Commerce at
Arco, which started in business a
couple of years ago, and its deposits
have increased in the past year from
about $4,000 to $12O,0O0.O0. The
town has witnessed the unloading Of
many cars of settlers goods this
spring, sometimes ranging as high as
seven and thirteen cars in one train,
and this furnishes an example OF
what boosting does and what
new settlers do to put money into a
locality. III
The bank of Aberdeen has its state
ment in this issue of the Republican,
and a persual of it shows that they
are getting into the game of busi-
ness.

TO CLOSE SLOT MACHINES


ut never rains but it pours," and
when community starts in to make

things correlated. Bingham county
has just closed its last saloon, and
now some petitions are being circu-

vide an ordinance enabling the Of
ficers to abolish the slot machines, SO
