Commercial Club Friday.

The regular meeting of the De-
corah Commercial Club will be held
at the city hall on Friday evening at
1880 o'clock. During the months of
July and August no meetings were
held on account of the hot weather,
but the club will meet regularly the
last Friday in the month hereafter.
The Commercial Club has done a
great deal for DEBORAH during the
past year, and it can do much more
in the future, if everyone interested
in the city will affiliate with and sup
port it. Every business man and
every citizen who wants to see De-
corah prosper is urged to associate
himself with the men who are try
ing to do something for DEBORAH.
Come out on Friday night, join the
club, and be a booster.

THE WORLDS GRANARY.
Though United States Leads All
Nations in Production Little
Grain is Exported.

Last year the United States pro-
duced rs per cent of the corn of the
world, 33 per cent of the oats and
20 per cent of the wheat, and it was
done upon per cent of the land.
The average annual production of
cereals in this country is about five
thousand million bushels. These
figures are so stupendous that the
average mind cannot comprehend
them.
And yet of all the corn grown in
this country, and there were 3, 1885,
600, 200 bushels of it, only about
per cent was exported.
This shows the wonderful con-
sumptive power of the people of the
United States. No nation in the his
tory of the world has had such a
record.
The prosperity of a country and
its standard of civilization are deter
mined by its ability to consume the
products of the soil. This is. shown
by comparison between the peoples
of India and the United States, as
the former with its nearly 100000
600 people exports 141 per cent of
its $50, 100000 bushels of wheat
which is only about half of the pro-
duction of the country.
The other wheat growing sections
of the world which are backward in
the scale of material progress show
about the same record as India.

GRAND JURY REPORT.
Recommends New Equipment For
County Jail to Improve
Conditions.

We, the Grand Jury of Winnie
shiek County, Iowa, wish to report
that at this September, 1911, term
of the court, we have made an exam
nation of the County Poor House at
Freeport, and find conditions very
satisfactory; we also desire to report
that we have examined the county
Jail and are very much dissatisfied
with the conditions there, that the
prisoners department we find in a
very unclean and unsanitary condi-
ton and we feel that the said de-
partment should be in a much more
Clearly condition and that whatever
is necessary to enable the mainten-
ance of a proper sanitary condition
up there should be taken; we also
think that new mattresses should be
furnished and the cots re-enameled
so as to enable the keeper to keep
things in the condition in which they
should be kept, and also that new
bedding should be furnished or the
old bedding renovated.

400 men MEET DEATH
Fire i'm Ammunition Hold of French
Battleship Liberte is Fatal.
SHIP GOES TO THE BOTTOM.
Catastrophe as Great as Could Have
Happened i'm Actual Engage
ment. Brings Grief to
French Homes.

Fire broke out early on Monday
morning in the ammunition hold of
the battleship Liberte, one of the
finest vessels of the French navy and
the explosions which followed wreck
ed the ship and killed more than half
of her crew of seven hundred ninety
three officers and men.
The fire was discovered at five
O'Clock and gained quick advantage
over the sailors sent to extinguish
it and suddenly reached the maya
zines, which had not been flooded on
account of the apparently trifing ma
ture of the blaze. The force of the
explosions shocked the vessel fore
and aft, opening up great assures in
the armor and frame work of the
vessel
The vessel Immediately became a
mass of fire and smoke and soon was
almost demolished by the terrific de-
donations and sank to the bottom Of
Toulon harbor Early unofficial esti-
mate of the dead ran as high as five
hundred.
Scores of seamen died in their
berths. A few dozen saved them
selves by jumping overheard. Many
of those injured leaped into the wa
ter and drowned before boats from
other ships could reach them. Two
hundred of the crew escaped death
owing to the fact they were ashore
on leave. The carnage in the eXplo-
sions was the worst that could ever
have happened even in an actual
naval engagement
The first crash came when the
crew was for the most part dispersed
in various sections of the vessel.
They were without warning in their
danger, and scores of bodies were
hurled high in the air, accompanied
by great fragments of framework,
armor-bursting shells and the blind
ing suffocating smoke of powder.
Scores of men below were killed in
their sleep. Others were awakened
by the explosion and started to jump
overheard and were caught by sec
ond defamation. The crew was panic
stricken and rushed wildly about,
cropping through the binding smoke,
in which many fell unconscious from
suffocation.
There were four tremendous eX-
plosions in quick succession after the
fire reached the magazines. One
hundred men saved themselves by
jumping and others would have es-
capped but for the discipline which
held them at their post at the first
explosion. The men below suddenly
awakened, tumbled from their berths
and rushing to the sides of the vessel
were throwing themselves overheard
when an order calling them to their
stations rang out and held to their
death those who had not already
escaped.
