the habits of the armadilIo, a queer little animal of South America. It has such g peculiar combination of the features of several other animals that it proves of unusual interest. Its nose resembles that of a rhinOceros. and it's mouth that of a pig, while as d whole it looks something like a tortoise Its body is covered with d bony flexible shell and it's claws are long and powerful. By their aid
 it can bury itself in very few minutes.
 Being a nocturnal animal, the ar
 madillo searches for its food at twi-
 light and feeds principally on worms, insects and roots. It is naturally a timid animal but is not difficult to catch. and although becoming accus-
 toned to captivity very quickly, it takes advantage of the first oppor-
 tunitv to gain it's liberty All the
 different habits of this odd little an imal are vividly shown on the screen : Under the title Interesting Scenes Abroad" film will shortly be re leased taking us to the Boric Acid works at I.ardarelIo. These views of Lardarcuo and The Bellows" are of unusual interest First a panor- annie view Of the WOrhS Is ulSpldS eu showing the perforation of the ground to allow the vapOr containing the boric acid to escape. As a means of illustrating the force by
 which the vapor escapes, a basket placed over the mouth of one of
 these pipes is hurled to a height of two hundred yards. The process of evaporation and condensation follows

 method of measuring its pressure un- der varying conditions.

Quite a large crowd visited the camp yesterday afternoon. The officers there had prepared for them however and when the time came for refreshment there was ice cream and cake and lem onade in plenty for all.
 Among the visitors to the camp ground yesterday, and in fact at every opportunity that had afforded for mak- ing the visits, was Col. J. II. McCln- tocll the retired colonel of the regiment. who has manifested as keen an interest in the affairs of the officers in the school camp as if he were still ,on the active list
 The morning began with the usual company drill, which was followed by a camp policing stunt getting ready for the visitors who were to come in the afternoon. National flags and markers carrying little flags Were placed from the ridgepole of every tent The mess hall was decorated, and the school room. which in ordinary times is known as the Creamery building. was fixed mp for the entertainment of the guests, with flags and bunting

H. Donkersley. commander of the camp will not leave for his home in Yuma until Monday at noon Tomorrow he will visit with friends in Temp
 From all reports the camp this year was the most successful officers school that has ever been held in the history of the guard in Arizona. and it is gen orally conceded that it will be the source of great good to the officers who attended it. All officers present were loud in their praise of the camp. the other officers and the method of conducting it and they look forward to next years camp with enthusiasm.

With the approach of warm weath- CT the pretty butterflies are noticed Hitting around among the flowers. What could be of more timely inter est just now than a film which has been released in the General Film pro gram. The Birth of a Butterfly
 This film shows the caterpillar weaving about himself the wonderful cocoon which is to be his winter protection against storm and wind while bountiful changes his unloVely form into a beautiful butterfly And then as the rays of the sun grow warmer he is seen to emerge from the cocoon and unfold his silken wings and eventually fly away.
 Few have not wondered at the en- durance Of these seemingly frau little insects. for they are mercilessly buf feted about by wind and rain, and still they seem to survive and eventually make cover Butterflies have been known to alight on ocean steamships several hundred miles from land. They are very interesting study and this film cannot fail to receive an enthus- iastic welcome.

Bridge Bonds Are Sold.

At the meeting of the board of
supervisors last week an issuance
of $4,000 in bridge bonds was
sold to the Winneshiek County
State Bank, which secured them in
competition with a Davenport firm,
at the same rate as has been paid
for the outstanding time warrants.
The floods of 1907 and 1910 gave
the bridge fund of the county a SER
ious setback, and following this the
board has been issuing time war
rants, drawing five per cent inter
est, which was deemed the only
thing that could be done to keeI
the bridges of the county up, as the
tax levy for this purpose is only
five per cent. This issuance o.
bonds does not increase the county

Poultry Show i'm January.

Advance arrangements are now
being made for the coming annual
show of the Winneshiek County
Poultry Association, which will be
held next year on Jan. 9Th to 9th
The location has not yet been deter
mined, but building will be secur-
ed which affords good light and
ventilation. The program booklets
will be issued within a short time
Mr.. Charles V. Keller of Winamac,
Indiana, one of the most famous
breeders of the country, has been
secured as judge of the show, which
insures satisfaction to everyone, as
he has no superior in this respect.
There is every indication that the
coming show will be much the best
ever held in this section. There
has been notable advancement in
poultry raising in this country in
the past two or three years, and the
fanciers have been getting ready for
this show with blood in their eyes.
There is going to be some fierce
competition for the premiums.

Winneshiek County Short Course.

The Winneshiek County Short
Course will be held in DEBORAH De-
cember s to Is. Everything indi-
Gates now that the course is going
to outclass anything in the state in
extention work. 1t looks as though
there will be more than one thou
sand students, or double the num-
Der attending last year, which was
more than five hundred and the
largest in the state at that time.
The Short Course managers are both
pleased and worried Their concern
is that everybody attending may get
the best of the course and in order
to effect this it will be necessary
to double the number of instructors
and double the number of class
rooms. If this is to be done they
must have full assurance ahead of
the time that the scholars will be
here. For this reason the commit
tee will put the Short Course tic
kets on sale right away and ask all
who intend to come to buy tickets
as soon as possible SO it can be as
certained what is needed. Tickets
will soon be distributed to be on
sale in every township.

'Darktown Bellies" Score Hit.


A large audience laughed itself
tired at the Grand opera house last
Wednesday evening, when an old
time minstrel production was given
by thirty of the society ladies of the
city, under the auspices of Grace
Episcopal church. 1t had been
some years since an entertainment
of this character had been given
in DEBORAH, and the people of the
city were surprised at the excellent
array of talent assembled in a pro-
gram of real enjoyment from begin
ming to end. With DR.. F. w. Con-
over as interlocutor and many of
the best known ladies of the city in
burnt cork and costume the pro-
gram was full of zest and jollity
from beginning to end. An attempt
to fittingly mention individuals
would be incomplete without noting
each in particular, for every lady
carried her part with such becoming
charm that the whole was an enter
tainment much superior to what
was thought possible under the cir
cumstances. The cake walk at the
close was the eliminating triumph
of the evening, in which Misses Ing
yoldstad and Daniels carried off the
prize, a fine cake made by Mrs. c.
w. Allison.

Ridge.
1t was in the first days battle that
the old Constable John Burns made
his appearance. This man has the
distinction of being the only civilian
who fought in the Battle of Gettys-
burg. He was born in New Jersey
and was Of Scotch parentage. He had
as a mere boy served in the War of
1912, fighting against the British. and
at the opening of the Civil War he
tried to enlist but was declared too
old. He became a constable of Gettys-
burs in 1852, and when the battle
occurred he was in a fighting mood.
After the first hour Of battle Burns
secured a gun from wounded soldier
and filing his pockets with cartridges
rushed through the Union lines and
begged permission to fight. His offer
was accepted and he was ordered to
the woods, but this was not to his
liking and he persisted in going for
ward on the skirmish line. He was
known to his friends as a dead shot
and he picked off whomever of the
Confederates he selected. During the
battle he was wounded three times and
left for dead on the field by the hos
pital corps He finally dragged him.
self to a log house and tainted at the
door Later he was recognized and
sent home where under his wifes care
he recovered and lived until 1872. A
splendid monument has been erected
to his memory by the citizens of Get
tysburg. It stands on Stone Avende
