Deication of Decatur 1. O. o. f.
Hall,

The new l. o. o. F. hall at our
neighboring town of Decatur, was
dedicated Friday afternoon, Oct 28th
with appropriate ceremonies. The
building has just recently been COM
pleted and is one of the finest In the
country. 1t is two story brick
structure, with a store room below
under the west portion, and a small
hall under the east part, which may
be used for a dining room and
kitchen for public occasions. The
second floor is most conveniently ar
ranged for lodge purposes, having a
large hall and commodious para
phernalia and ante-rooms as we'll as
a spacious dining room and kitchen
alongside the main hail. The hall
has also been especially wired for
electrical effects in degree work, a
feature common only with the mod
ern city halls, making it in all, one
of the most modern in construction
to be found in this part of the state.
The day was an ideal one and a
large crowd was in attendance.
both afternoon and evening, there
being Odd Fellows and Rebekahs
from nearly every town in the coun-
ty. Inc dedicatory exercises were
at the hall in the afternoon at $3.50
o'clock, conducted by Grand Master
herbert C. Ring, of Cedar Rapids,
with the following officers in the
chairs: o. B. Creal, Dick Jones,
H. B. Lunbeck, Amos Deck, Grand
Heralds; C. NJ. Corrington, Grand
Chaplain; Ben Houston, Grand Sec
rotary; J. D. Gardner, Grand Ward
en-; S. NJ. McCroskey, Past Grand;
Archie Ravens, Past Vice Grand,
and ]. H. Hill, chairman of COM
mite on entertainment. Grand
Master Ring was the speaker, giving
a splendid talk on the purposes and
work of the order, especially en-
phasizing the Importance of the
work of the Rebekahs, and pointing
out the beauties of the individual
characters in the degree staff. He
made brief mention of the 200 acre
farm belonging to the order in Iowa
and the proposed new home in addi-
ton to the one they already own and
maintain at Mason City. A very
pleasing feature after the speaking
was the rope jumping drill by six
little girls attlred In flag cloth dress
es, who performed to the time of
music by Marie Boak, under the able
direction of Mrs. Tincie Shelton.
They were heartily applauded and
encored, but owing to the great ex-
ertion were not permitted to re-
spond.
In the evening the subordinates
had degree work in the hall, by a
team made up of members of neigh
boring lodges with their own. There
was large attendance at this ses-
sion and short talks were made by
visiting members as well as by
Grand Master Ring.
The Rebekahs gave a supper in
the evening, before and after the
lodge session, consisting of chicken
pie, potatoe salad, cake, fruit, pick
les and coffee at one table, and
oysters, cake, fruit, potatoe salad,
pickles and coffee at the other,
either of which was Is cents, from
which they realized the handsome
sum of about $40.
The entire program came off with
out hitch and the whole affair was
a grand success.

Identical with the western slope has
an astounding price in Germany.
OF keen and peculiar interest to
this valley are the statements of Mr..
Reed. The Sentinel gives below some
of the paragraphs from the article:
One of the most beautiful spots in
Germany is the little Rheingau, the
sixty square miles of splendid grape
lands on the Rhine banks that for
value of product has as yet no equal
in the world. Aside from mines, for
tress sites and city property. perhaps
the most valuable land upon the face
OF the earth is comprised within this
region. AS is well known, it is the
home of the cream of the earth's fine
wines. in comparison with which the
choicest vintages of Bordeaux, Bur
gundy and the Moselle take inferior
rank, and champagne is but the bev-
erage OF ignoramuses who know moth
ing really of wines.
The face of the earth gives up no
no other crop not even the perfume
flowers of Grasse or the fine tobacco
of the Vuelta Abajo, that sells for as
much money per producing acre as
do its best vineyards. Prices of from
1920 to $3.50 per gallon have been
known, and wholesale prices of $50
per gallon are in no sense rare.
There are historical records of
vines growing in the Rheingau for
eleven hundred and fifty years, and it
is believed the actual introduction of

Pueblo, Colo, Feb. 2S.-There
promises to be a warm time at the
meeting of Pueblo's city council to-
night. Mayor Fugard, the reform
mayor" will announce that he has
vetoed the councils resolution pass

upon him to dismiss Chief of Police
Sullivan, owing to Sullivan's dis
graceful actions in the Pueblo red

Objections called for on diamond
pack and layering of apples in extra
fancy and extra choice and that in
extra fancy there be at least two
sizes. Mr. Luellen on request, ex-
planned the use of extra choice"
grade by saying there was diversity
of idea among various packers in his
district on names of grades and ap-
pies, which should be eligible to
these grades. In his extra fancy
grade he said meant only what the
name implies: in extra choice the
poorer apples of the best grade and
thc best of the lower grade stock,
which made a dependable storage
apple. In the extra fancy apples
better pack was secured by dividing
into two uniform sizes.
