Their reports OF the rebellion are
rather meager. AS both were gath

and were kept under excellent pro.
lection until the time OF their depar.
ture.
Mr.. Webster, who went to l!ankow
Immediately following news OF the
uprising, with all other foreigners
lett that city TWO days before it was
captured, burned and sacked by the
imperial forces. During his stay there
the city was under the control OF the
Insurgents, and he says those who
had lived in lIankow for years de-
clared that the municipality was gov
erned better by the rebels than /,
had ever been before.
MIR. Webster sent his family back
10 his old home at Nottingham. Eng

The school Cutters.

If you could place on one side of a
line the boys and girls who gradua-
ted from high school courses, and on
the other side those who quit with
the grammar grades or went only
partly through high school, which do
you think would show the larger per
cent of successes, asks an exchange.
Of course, there are plenty of high
school graduates who are only meas
uring tape and plenty of uneducated
men who are bossing railroad sys-
tens But few will doubt that the
chances of success are multiplied
many times by a good high school
course.
One of the great problems before
the teacher and the school board is
TO keep the boys and girls past that
fool age when they think they know
enough and need no more education.
The teachers who do this most
are those who come the
closest TO their pupils. If you see
your pupil only through the medium
Of a discussion CT Cicero and trigon-
cmetry, you will never get much in
huence over his personal education.
II you know him on the ball field,
at the school social, in his home, he
will begin to listen to your advice
about this, one of the greatest of
life's choices. which has to be made
at an Immature age.

THE FOURTH OF JULY.
Program is Announced for Big Cele-
bration of Nations Natal Day
i'm DEBORAH.

In today's paper will be found the
first announcement of the program of
the DEBORAH Fourth of July celebra-
tim, and we urge every reader to
go through it carefully. The COM
mittee in charge of the celebration
have endeavored to arrange a pro-
gram that would furnish a day of
real pleasure to all who come to
DEBORAH, amusements of the charac-
ter that are most appreciated by the
people nowadays.
The parade, which will form at
1920 O'Clock, promises to include a
number of novel and pleasing feat
ures, and it is the hope that all
will be on hand early enough to see
it.
The address by Hon. Lafayette
Young of Des Moines, one of the
greatest orators in America, is worth
coming a long distance to hear. That
he will entertain and delight the big
crowd which will listen to him is
certain.
The after dinner sports on Water
street, races. contests, games and
amusements of all kinds, will be an
interesting feature.
The base ball game between Cal
mar and DEBORAH will be the same
old story, a finish contest between
two old time rivals, friendly but in
tense.
The two big dances will be feat
ure of the celebration that will at
tract many, and every care will be
taken to make them as agreeable
and pleasant as possible.
The open air concert by the De-
corah Merchants Band, the DEBORAH
Drum Corps, the Winneshiek Coun-
ty Sangerforbund and possibly other
musical organizations, will be well
worth hearing.
The display of fireworks to close
the celebration always delights the
crowds, and this year will exceed
anything we have ever had.
These, and many other special
features, most of which are mention
ed in the program, will keep every
body busy and happy from early
morning until late at night.
A gain We invite you to celebrate
in DEBORAH

through the west with the Grand
Lodge of the ,Elks at Portland in

Mr.. Reed will represent the DEBORAH
Lodge of Elks. They went through
the south, through New Mexico to
California, and will so up the coast

six weeks.

A Store q Public Thing.

The store of today has become a
public institution and it has got to
lead a public life. Instead of mer-
chant grouching behind his counter
and wondering how much his Fourth
of July celebration is going to cost
this year, he has got to lead that
Fourth of July celebration and make
a success of it. Instead OF the coun-
try merchant sitting in a back room
and complaining that the roads are
so bad that the farmers can't get to
town, he has got to be a builder of
roads upon which the farmer can
get into town.
The storekeeper, like the newspa-
per man, who is not booster for
everything that helps to build up a
town, cannot hope for a permanent
business success. Boosting is a nee
esaIy adjunct of a successful bust
ness life nowadays.

May Happen Here. Too.

A dispatch from Iowa Falls says
that failing to keep open a portion
of the route last winter has cost one
of the rural routes north of that city
in Franklin county the abandonment
of three miles of the route by the
post Office department. The route
runs south, west and north of Brad
ford and it is stated the roads were
kept open but very little during the
winter months. Two miles have al
so been cut off the north end of the
route, but no reason is given for this
change.
Unless more attention is paid to
keeping the roads in passable condi-
ton for the carriers, it is not impro-
bable that some of the routes here
abouts may suffer.

OFF the Same Pisy

Ger thus:
II bought three or four hams here
a month or so ago and they We're
fine. Have you any more of them?"
Yes ma am" replied the grocer.
There are ten of those hams hang
ing up there now"
well, ii you're sure they're off
the same pig I'll take three of them"
replied the young wife meekly.
