COUNTY FAIR next week
Indications Point to One of the Best
Fairs Ever Held
Here.
ID. WARD KING ON WEDNESDAY.
Program Filled With Splendid Open
Air Attractions, Music, Base Ball,
Races, Balloon AscensiOns, Con-
tests and Amusements
of Every Kind.

One week from yesterday the an
nual exposition of the Winneshiek
County Agricultural Society will
open on the fair grounds in this city,
and there is every prospect for one
of the best fairs held in this county
in many years. Secretary Edward
Brakeman and the other officers have
been working hard for some time to
make the fair a success, and one of
the most complete programs we have
ever had has been prepared. 1t is
believed that the showing of stock
and farm products will be the larg-
est in years, as we'll as the exhibits
in all other departments.
d. Ward King, the famous road
man, inventor of the celebrated King
drag, will be here and deliver an ad-
dress on road making on Wednesday
afternoon, and we hope that every
person interested in good roads will
be on hand to hear him.
There will be plenty of good base
ball. Tuesday the West Union and
Decorah fire departments will settle
an old score, and Wednesday and
Thursday Decorah will play against
Postville. A game is also being
booked for Friday.
There will be some good races al
so. Besides running races and the
novelty and trotting races, one that
will attract much attention will be
race between Lodaller 2:21 Ia,
owned by NJ. T. Grattan of Preston
Minn. and Louie X, 2:24. owned by
Curtin and Baker of Decorah.
A special committee consist
iiRgt2-sE Sheriff Qualley Clarence
Christen. w. B. Reed and others
have arranged a program Of amuse-
ments, tug of war, novelty races,
etc, that will make you laugh from
the time YOU come onto the grounds
until you leave.
More concessions than ever have
been made for glass blowers, picture
gallery, candy makers, colored min
strels, novelty shows, stands, etc. of
every kind imaginable, and the old
time merry-go-round will be on
hand for the children.
1t promises to be a great fair OF
course you will be here. Arrange to
bring your whole family, take a cou-
pie of days off, give them a good
time, help out your home fair, and
| thus give the fair an Impetus and
such assistance as it deserves. The
program in part may be found on
another page. Read it carefully.

was built in 1904, and after that

since which time he has been serving
four congregations regularly, preach

and German, sometimes in all three
languages the same day. So that
his career during the past quarter
century has been an exceedingly
busy one. Building four churches,
ministering 10 four cations,
spread over a large territory, he has
woven himself into the homes and
hearts of all his people, so that
scarcely a fireside in this wide
stretch of territory has not been
frightened many a time by his
CHEEKY smile, his pleasant counten-
ance, his big-hearted, tender SYM
pathy and ministration.
To show their appreciation OF all
these years of service, his people ar

at the Big Canoe church on Sunday
morning, and the sermon was
preached by Prof. DR.. H. G.. Stub of
Hamline Seminary, president of the
Synod. After church the ladies pro-
vided a sumptuous lunch in the
church basement, which was enjoyed
by all, and in the afternoon some

thT rsonage. There were many

Mimi, Kasbe, N Riceville, Mimi,
and Johnson Off Ng Grove, all of
whom made short .fesses of con-
graduation and good wishes, after
which Dr.. Stub took occasion, on be-
half of the congregation, to present
Rev. Seehus with a purse of $4,000,
as mark of the esteem in which he
is held by his people. 1t was beau
tiful day, great occasion. for that
congregation, and everybody present
enjoyed it immensely.
Public Opinion joins a host of
friends throughout northeastern
Iowa and southern Minnesota in sin
cere congratulations. A career so
successful as that of Rev. Seehus is
deserving of all the good things that
may be said, and we can only add
our hope that Public Opinion and
Rev. Seehus may both be here to
celebrate his fiftieth anniversary.

Editors Boycott County Fair.

Because President Grant NJ. Bige-
law of the Chickasaw County Fair
association ordered all job printing
to be used in advertising the COM
ing fair from Mason City printers,
the Chickasaw County Editorial as
sociation has resolved not to accept
advertising for the coming exhibit,
and also have declared they will not
mention the dates of the fair in any
manner.
President Bigelow sent ads 70
every county paper this week and al
though every one of the papers have
been issued there was not a line
printed relative to the Chickasaw
county fair.
The editorial association held a
picnic and business conference at
Fredericksburg Sunday afternoon
for the purpose of arranging a plan
of protection against all local organ
izations that patronize out OF the
county printing concerns while
eXacting free boosting from the
home papers.

torial association and f. J. Feuling

tary.

Cost of Living Not So High.

There are men who argue that liv-
ing is high, but they might try dying.
A living man gets shaved for ten
cents, but dead one pays So and
never kicks. A good kersey overcoat
costs $25, but wooden one costs
S100. A grave digger will plant po-
tatoes for 20 cents an hour, but for
planting you he gets four times as
much. A carriage to the theatre
costs you 81, but one to the ceme-
terry costs So. A saloonkeeper will
fill your hide full to bursting for
90 cents, but the embalmer gets
$3.50 for the same job. Come to
think there are lots of things left to
live for in this world dispite the
high prices and contrary weather.

Put away your little hammer and
let it go to rust put on a pleasant
smile and carry it with you all the
time. You can do more and better
business with cheerful counten-
ance than one of those long drawn
out faces that would slip on sand.
Keep the good cheer going around;
if it rains or SHOWS or blows con-
tinue the smile and soon the smile
becomes contagious and gathers In
the whole neighborhood. Boost for
yourself and boost for your town.
Keep the pleasant smile on the out

good things about person, company
or organization, and il will be taken
as matter of course; but just let
him say one thing that can be mis-
construed or misunderstood, or that
is considered a reflection even in the
most remote degree, and he will hear
OF it from every man he meets.
