AL. H. WILSON.
In His Song Adorned Comedy, 1T
Happened in POtsdam."

The best play and the best COM
pany AL. H. Wilson has had for
years, are at the Lyceum this week,
the popular German dialect come
dian appearing in an adaptation of
the French of Maelvic by Cyril Reed.
1T Happened in Potsdam," is the
name of the piece, it's scenes, beauti-
fully staged being laid in that quaint
old town in Germany, and it tells a
pretty story of the search of Metz
Won Klatz, a German traveller, play
ed by Mr.. Wilson, for a wife whom
he can love.
Metz has had his faith in woman
KIND shaken to it's foundations by a
love affair some three years before
the. play opens, but to please his
uncle he has agreed to marry a
young woman, who turns out to be
a sister to his former sweetheart,
now married 20 a Russian count. He
asks for permission to win her, but
she has already bestowed her affec-
tiOns elsewhere, which is fortunate
| for Metz, as he soon meets and falls
in love with an American girl who
is visiting N the home of the Rus
sian and his family. An old letter
written by Metz's former sweetheart
and concealed in hole in a tree
| where it has lain for three years, be-
cause he failed to find 1t, comes to
light, and makes all sorts of trouble
| before it is finally destroyed. 1t
nearly separates the jealous Russian
from his wife, and it gets Metz and
his sweetheart into all sorts of trou-
BILE, but Metz finds a way out of his
difficulties and the denoument is a
happy one.
Mr.. Wilson plays the German ira
Weller with the charm and grace that
are characteristic of his work, and he
sings his old songs and some new
ones, a particularly fascinating num-
Der being, Loves of Bygone Days. -
His voice is sympathetic and express
sive, and his audiences, who twice
filled the Lyceum Sunday could not
get enough of it.
Edwin Barbour, in the role of a
gruff old chap from the states, does
a fine bit of character acting, and
Francis Gaillard makes an interest
ing study of the jealous Russian hus-
band. Miss Edith Yeager plays the
part of the girl from Virginia who
wins the heart of Metz, and she does
it splendidly. Whether it is in the
grave or gay moments of Metzs WOO
| ing, she is charming, and their scenes
together are quite the most interest
ing ones in the piece. Harry Sping-
Ter as the young lover of the flirta-
tious wife's sister, and the victim of
influenza, is very funny He has the
teary eyes and the sneeze of the grip
victim, which makes his love MAX
ing sight to see. Laura Lemmers
in the part of the Russians wife,
Bessie Lansing as the prim sister of
old Hiram, and Jeanette Carroll as
the countess sister, are other prin-
cipals whose work is most enjoyable,
and even those in minor parts make
much of the little they are given to
dO.-Toledo Blade.

ODE TO SAINT PATRICK.
H. H. GREEN.


Hibernica's sad pagan state,
Appeals to thee, o patron saint,
And strangely stirs thy christian
heart;
From homes endearments thou must
part.
1t calls thee from thy native land,
From ancient Gallia's sunny strand
To brave the dangers of the main
To seek that sea-girt isle again,
Where once captive thou did'St toll
BY Milcho bought, on Erin's isle.
Dalvidda boasts a free-born slave.
Heroic dreamer, who is this?
Hiberniacum, Victorious:
What voices these from Floclu wood
20, holy youth, so true, so good,
Among us come and with us walk. y
This call / heard and then awoke. y
''VoX populi, vox Del
Saint Patrick needs no other word
His conscience in accord with God,
His soul af1ame with holy ZEAL
A captive to the strong appeal:
81 yield, l yield, my Master calls. y
Keeps he his vow and nevermore
Departs the islands rock-bound
shore,
Till called of God 10 his reward;
His body under Downs green sward.
To God ascends a noble SOUL
A land redeemed from Druid's rule,
Perpetuates his honored name,
And makes immortal his fair fame
Let Patrick pictured thus be shown,
In leatheren girdle, hooded gown
With standard of the cross, tbs meet
A serpent underneath his feet.

A BALD HEADED WOMAN.
ShOrn of Her Crown of Beauty, Loses
i'm Love and Marriage.

Hair Is certainly most necessary
to woman. Who could love and
marry bald headed woman? What
charms could one array to Offset such
a disagreement?
A woman's goal is usually love
and marriage. Her browning glory
is her hair. The loss of her hair
mars her beauty, happiness, and sue
cess. Yet, right here in DEBORAH,
there are thousands of women who
are neglecting or injuring their hair
to such an extent that 1t Is only
matter of time when it will be utter
ly ruined.
Many women destroy the beauty
of their hair through thoughtlessness
or ignorance of certain facts. They
use curling irons over heated, or to
excess, which destroys the natural
oil of the hair, causing 1t to split,
break, and come out. They do not
shampoo their hair often enough, or
arations which contain ingredients
harmful to the scalp and hair
AS a result of such treatment,
dandruff is created, the hair loosens,
loses color, falls out, and badness
commences, unless proper anu prompt
precautions are taken in time. Then
again, microbes and certain diseases
bring about unhealthy scalp and hair
conditions.
Almost any woman may rid her
self of dandruff and diseased scalp
and hair if she will but use the right
remedy. We have that remedy, and
We will positively guarantee that 1T
will either cure dandruff and bald
ness or it will not cost the user any
thing.
That's a pretty broad statement,
but we will back it ana prove it with
our own money. We will return your
money If you do not find that Rex
all "93" Hair Tonic is an entirely
satisfactory remedy that will pro-
mote their growth and overcome
scalp and hair troubles; that it will
grow hair even on bald heads, unless
all life in the hair roots has been
extinguished, the follicles closed, and
the scalp lis glazed and shiny. 1t gets
it's name from the fact that il grew
hair in SO out of 100 cases, where
it received a thoroughly hard, i'm
partial and practical test.
We want you to try Rexall "93"
Hair Tonic at our risk. You surely
cannot lose anything by doing so,
while you have everything to gain.
You had better think this over, and
then come in and see us about this
offer. You will be well repaid for
your visit % our store. Remember,
you can get Rexall Remedies in this
community only at our store-The
Rexall Store. Il. j. Parman's.

COLT SHOW MARCH 23d
Prof. w. j. Kennedy of Ames Will
Award Prizes Offered by
DEBORAH Banks.

Announcement was made in these
columns a couple of weeks ago of
the proposed Colt Show to be held
in DEBORAH, and it has since been
definitely decided to hold the show
on Saturday, March Esd. The object
of this show is to encourage the
breeding of the better class of ami
mails, and for this purpose the De-
corah banks will give $500 for
prizes, to be distributed among the
winners.
The show will be held on the Ben
Bear corner, Water and Winnebago
streets, Saturday, March 23d, at one
o'clock in the afternoon, and the
animals will be judged by Prof W.
]. Kennedy, professor of animal hus-
bandry and vice director of the ex-
pertinent station of the Iowa state
agricultural college at Ames. The
show will be exclusively for weanling
foals of 1911. No entrance fee will
be charged, and entries will be re-
ceived UP to noon of the day of the
show. The prizes will be distribut-
ed among the different breeds as
follows: Percherons, Belgians,
Clydesdales, Shires, Roadsters and
Carriage. In each class the first
prize will be $500, second $500,
third $500, fourth $500, fifth 800.
The show will be managed for the
banks by W. E. Beard, and imme-
diately afterward Prof. Kennedy will
lecture at the court house on points
that will be of interest to farmers
and stock raisers.
This will be a splendid thing for
farmers and horse fanciers, an OPP
portunity to learn how best to judge
an animal, and to learn how to breed
and raise them. Prof. Kennedy is
national authority upon this sub
ject and will be well worth hearing.
Bring in your colts. If you haven't
any, come in and see those which
will be entered, see the judging, hear
the lecture, and learn something of
value to everyone.

4 Notable Land Sale.

c. o. Maltby has sold his 200 acre
farm near Burr Oak to w. p. Donald
for $500 an acre. Mr.. Maltby pur-
chased this farm 20 years ago from
Geo. Q. Gardner for $4,000 an acre.
The increase in value has been on
the average of over $500 an acre
annually for 20 years, or > per cent
interest yearly. The probability is
that the value Of this farm will again
double in ten instead of twenty years
The silo and better farming will send
Winneshiek county lands skyward.

NEW POST OFFICE OPEN.
Patrons of DEBORAH Post Office Now
Being Served From Federal
Building.

The realization of the anticipation
of some years came Monday morn
ing, when the people of the city be-
gan to be served from the magnifi-
cent new federal post Office building
on the corner of Main and Winnie
bago streets. We described the build
ing at length and printed cuts of the
interior and exterior a short time
ago, when the public reception was
given. At that time the electric fix
lures had not been installed and the
furniture had not arrived. Since
then workmen have been engaged in
putting on the finishing touches, and
the last shipment of furniture ar
rived Saturday, so that on Sunday
the office was moved from the old
building on the corner of Court and
Water streets to the new structure.
The furniture and fixtures are in
keeping with the building proper,
modern, up-to-date and substantial
in every way, making it in all as
nearly perfect as possible, hand
some, magnificently equipped struc-
ture, adequate and complete in every
detail, the joy and pride of every
citizen of the city and county.
The first key for lock box and
the first postage stamps sold in the
new building on Monday morning
were purchased by Mr.. John Nc
Andrews of this Office.

\ Novel Suit.

An automobile company of Water
loo has brought suit against w. ii
Shappell of that city, claiming S1O,-
900 damages. 1t appears that Chap
pell was dissatisfied with an auto
which he purchased of the company
and gave vent to his feelings by
placing a large banner ON the wind
shield bearing the word "Stung, and
on the bottom of it was hung a
bunch of lemons. The company esti-
mates that $4,000 will just about
balance the damage done to its bust

Some WaterWorks Trouble.

1t looks as if there was going to
be some trouble over the accepting
Of the new waterworks system. At
the meeting of the city council Sat-
urday night the foreman insisted on
turning the plant over to the city,
demanding the balance of the money
due on the contract, but the council
insists that before the system is fin
ally accepted it is up to the con-
tractors to stop the leaks in the
mains, it being claimed that there
are many gallons of water leaking
from the, mains every day, and that
these leaks must be stopped by the
contractors before the city will ac-
cept the plant. The foreman threat
ened to put lock on the pump and
tie the system up, but he has not yet
done so, and the matter is awaiting
the arrival of the head man of the
Des Moines Bridge and Iron Works
who were the contractors. The city
council should not back down bit
in this matter. We understand that
the contract provides that the leaks
must be stopped before the system is
accepted, and the city is entitled to
just what the contract calls for. If
the system is accepted as it now
stands there will be big expense to
the city in stopping leaks.

Don Campbell Died ut Iowa City.

Don Campbell, formerly of Ham
ilton township, died at Iowa City last
Friday, his death being caused from
typhoid fever. He was son OF
Elder Duncan Campbell, and one Of
the noted college athletes in the
state. While attending the state
Normal College at Iowa Falls he won
the half mile and was pronounced
the best half mile runner in the Mis-
souri, Valley district. He competed
not, only in Iowa meets but in the
interstate normal event and estab-
lished a record of a fraction better
than two minutes for the half mile.
He later entered the State Univer-
sity at Iowa City where he gained
further laurels. He was fine young
man and his early death is dep1Ored
by many friends.
Campbell is the first Of the really
great athletes of the early days Of
state contests to die from the effects
of disease. Homer Holland was
shot and Henninger, the great Ames
hurdler of a little later date, was
killed by an accidental fall. These
three men are practically the only
ones known by the present genera
ton, Johnny Crum being forerun-
ner of these men, even. His death
also was not directly due to disease.
