Dear Editor: l desire to give you .
few dottings from this place. We have
had many trials since we came to this
place. still we have been blessed in ms-
ny ways. Everything possible has been
done to frighten and scare us from
this place, but we have stood like .
stone wall. We are not in any worse
condition than any other coal camp in
the state, in fact from all reports We
are in better condition than many,
We have plenty to eat and little mon.
ey, OF fcourse, the District is still try
ing to get the colored people out Of the
camp. that is Mr.. Sam Bollandty, tho
District Board member Of this Fourth
Sub-district and Mr.. Dick Hoven are
still trying to get the men out by pay
ing them to leave. They were fortu-
nate enough to get Joe Bryant and Es-
ter Reynolds to leave last Friday.
They bought Joe Bryant's household
goods and paid transportation to KIM
sas City. Tbs is what Mr.. Bryant
told before he left. It is said s'Mr.
Bolladtye paid Mr.. Bryant fifty dollars
for his household goods and then gave
him money to pay his fare to Kansas
City. I wonder do the miners Of this
District know how these officers are
squandering the districts funds to con.
tinue the discrimination among mem-
bers of the Union. / trust the time
will soon come when the eyes Of the
members of this District will be opens
ed to this fact, .{.5
CH1LDKEN's DAY.
Yesterday was q gala day for our
church.
Our children's Day Exercises were de-
ferred from the usual time in June un-
til yesterday. ! must say the program
was simply fine. The children both
large and small deserve much crsdit
for the way the programlwas render
ed. The rendition Of II was one of the
finest it has been my pleasure to Wit
ness. The songs, recitations, declama-
tions and essays were all very good.
The duets and solos were much admir-
ed by the public.
The collection was good considering
the scarcity Of work and the hard times.
On last Saturday, the Sunday school
picnic was much enjoyed. "A nice din
ner was served on the church grounds
and everybody seemed to have enjoyed
the day. After dinner. ice cream was
served, after which all went out to the
baseball grounds and enjoyed a spIend-
id game between the first and second
mines, the victory being in favor of the
first nine.

Practical Education.

yinton is going to build a new
manual and domestic training school
costing $4,000. The training of boys
and girls in the practical work and
duties of life is becoming more and
more recognized as the best educa-
ton that can be given the future men
and women. Latin and ethics make
good trimmings but between the
foundation of reading, writing and
arithmetic and the ornamentation,
the real structure is practical voca-
tional knowledge.
One acre of good corn land will
produce twelve tons Of corn silage.
This same twelve tons, with hay,
viii feed two milk cows for ten
months. If properly cared for
otherwise, these cows will bring their
owner anywhere from $40 to $3.50
from the sale of cream alone during
the ten months, to say nothing II
the two calves that can be raised,
nor considering the value of the
skim milk for pig and chicken feed.
And it may be said that no other
business will return such quick and
handsome profits as feeding skim
med milk to pigs and chickens.

ones carelessness and the drove was
run into before the engine could be
brought to stop. Two had their
heads completely severed from their
bodies and half dozen were killed
outright while it could be seen that
several other animals were badly in
jured. The sight was a sickening
enc and the passengers felt thankful

ficers of the DEBORAH Commercial
Club and the committee assisting
them have been working hard to get
together a program of amusements
and entertainment for the day that
would please everybody. 1t is be-
lieved that more real pleasure for
our people will be gained from
spending the money for amusements,
sports, etc., in which our own people
can participate, than to send away
and get one or two expensive attrac-
tions in which little interest might
be taken, so that there will be an
abundance of entertainment of all
kinds provided.

Power Line Short circuited.

The Upper Iowa Power company
was the victim Of some deyiltry on
the part of some scamp in the coun-
try Tuesday. Trouble on the service
line manifested itself about 6 p. m.
on the Postville line and autos were
sent out from both Waukon and
Postville to locate it. 1t was found
about mile south Of the Bell school
house in the shape Of section of
wire which had been wrenched from
fence nearby and thrown over the
power lines which created short
circuit. In consequence of which
Postville was without light until 81
80. It cost the Power Co. about SIS
expense and considerable trouble
and If the perpetrator of the act can
be located it will go harder than that
with him. -Waukon Democrat.
