THE HOSPITAL PROPOSITION.
Insure DEBORAH the Very Best
of Talent and Service.

The committee on hospital APP
pointed by the DEBORAH Commercial
Club, have been busy the past week
with plan which it is expected will
be announced within the next few
days, as suggested in these columns
last week. While we are not at lib
etry at this time to state details, yet
it is hoped and believed that arrange
ments will be made for the establish
ment here of hospital service OF the
very highest standing. A distinguish
ed surgeon, who is known through
out the middle west as one OF the
very best operating surgeons in the
country, was induced to visit Decor
all last week to consider the matter,
and will be here again tomorrow TO
submit a definite proposition 10 our
people. For over a quarter Oh
century this gentleman has been one
of the widest known and most sue
cessful surgeons in this part OF the
country. He is now the chief oper-
ating surgeon for three large and
successful hospitals, and if he de-
cides to come to DEBORAH once a
week or oftener, as now planned, our
people may be assured the very best
service right at home. There is now
little doubt that plan will be ar
ranged that may be carried out.
The committee believes that Decor
ah is entitled to the very best in all
things, and especially in hospital SER
vice, consequently they have waited
a year and more until such arrange
ments as are above outlined could
be consummated. The plans contem-
plate the establishment of an up-to-
date, modern hospital, owned and OPP
Grated by the surgeon above mention
ed and one of our local physicians
and surgeons, together with the peo-
pie who are willing to contribute to
such an institution. The various phys
leans of Winneshiek county will be
asked to serve on the hospital staff,
and every reputable doctor will be
welcome to bring his patients to this
hospital.
DEBORAH needs nothing so much as
it needs a hospital, to care for our
sick, and to save human lives that
are now being lost because we do not
have hospital facilities.

Iowa Leads on Fairs.

Iowa leads all of the states of the
union in the number of fairs and ex-
hibitions devoted to agriculture, live
stock and relative subjects held with
in it's borders. Iowa reports ITO such
annual exhibitions, while Ohio, her
next nearest competitor, reports los.
New York comes in third with 100
annual exhibitions of this nature.
AS an advertising medium it is gen.
orally conceded that fair or expo
sition heads the list. Considered
from this viewpoint, Iowa communi-
ties are following one very effective
means of advertising most creditably.

MT. Hell lerand MT Beville have each about 5000 trees, which practically includes the entire marketable nursery stock of the state that will be offered for sale this season.
