The June Examinations.

The regular county teachers eXamina-
tions were held at the DEBORAH High
School assembly room, June 20, u, and
g. On account of the large number
who wished to be examined, the examin-
alton was held in the High School as
sembly room, so all could be examined
at one time. Fifty-nine applications
took the tests As the examination is
held by the state the results are not
yet known. The averages required to
receive county uniform certificates are
First grade the general average must
not be below IS per cent. The minimum
wage is $500. The maximum, 100 per
cent at three cents, is $1,000.
Second grade: the general average
must be over 70 per cent. The minimum
wage is S4SO0. Points are added at pa
cents.
Third grade the general average must
be over 65 per cent The minimum wage
is $3.50. Points are added at 2ls.
The law should hold out much en-
enlargement to the teacher regarding
position.
The law was devised to raise the
standard of teaching, to increase the
wages, and to encourage them to enter
upon and remain in the work. II
should promote the efficiency of the
schools through the teachers securing
higher grade certificate.
The wages will be unified and prevent
paying a teacher with a provisional
certificate higher wages than one who
has a second or first grade certihcate.

Boy Scouts Will Camp.

About thirty of the boy scouts, un-
der Rev. G. S. Lakeland, scout mas
ter, hiked yesterday out towards
Ben JEWELS farm and spent the day
in scouting, swimming and in look
ing for a suitable place to camp. A
place was found about a quarter of
a mile below the bridge near Ben
JEWELS. They will leave Monday
and will camp a week. They will
study wood-craft and enjoy real
life in the open air. Many interest
ing stunts, will be managed and the
camp will be made as attractive as
possible for the boys. A wholesome
enjoyment of few days with nature
is assured. Each Boy Scout will
contribute $500 to the commissary
fund, to provide for the weeks sup
plies. Boy Scouts will be permitted
to invite relatives visiting them to
accompany them on the same terms.

INSTALLING ELEcTRoAERs.
Decorah's New white Ways Now
Being Constructed. Will
Beautify the City.

The electroliers for Decorah's new
street lighting system arrived several
days ago, and on Friday the cables came.
On Monday the work of installation was
commenced, and it is expected that in
about two weeks the work will be COM
pleted, and the new lights burning Mr..
w. X. Coughlin and son NJ. V. of Den
yer, Colo, are the engineers in charge
of the installation, and are putting it
in under the direction of the city and
the Upper Iowa Power Co., having a
force OF men assisting them.
The new system will consist of fifty
four five light electrolier posts, the top
light of 60 watts and the four lower
lights of 40 watts each. These will ex-
tend from the bridge at the Milwaukee
passenger station to the end of Water
street at the Baptist church, eight posts
to the block, four on each side, as far
west as the corner of Water and River
streets, then four posts to the block,
on the corners, to the Baptist church.
There will also be twenty-four single
globe posts containing large globes and
100 watt lamps situated at the four
street corners surrounding the court
house square, and at Main and Wash
ington and Broadway and Washington.
Probably there will also be posts at the
alley on Washington and Winnebago
streets. The wires will be laid in steel
conduits under the brick pavement, just
outside the curbing.
On the concrete bridge across the
river there will also be six neat posts
containing single lights, which will beau
tify the bridge and afford needed light.
1t is certain that when the new system
is installed and in operation it will give
DEBORAH one of the most beautiful bust
ness streets of any city of twice its size
in the United States. 1t is but another
step in the constant progress of one of
the most enterprising and most beautiful
cities in the state
We think that when the system is in
operation, DEBORAH ought to have a
frolic some fine night to celebrate the
event. A most delightful evening might
be planned with little expense. Games
and dances on the sidewalks and in the
streets, music, fancy drills, decorations,
etc, on the order of carnival would
be novelty here. Let's have a mid
summer frolic.

AN OyERWORKER RECITER.

Once there was a little boy whose
name was Robert Reece,
And every Friday afternoon he had
to say a piece.
So many poems thus he leaned that
soon he had a store.
OF recitations in his head, and still
kept learning more.
And now this is what happened: He
was called upon one week,
And totally forgot the piece he was
about to speak!
His brain he cudgled. Not word
remained within his head!
And so he spoke at random, and this
is what he said:
my beautiful, my beautiful, who
standest proudly by.
1t was the schooner Hesperus-the
breaking waves dashed high!
Why is the forum crowded? What
means this stir in Rome?
Under a spreading chestnut tree
there is no place like home!
When Freedom from her mountain
height cried, Twinkle, little star
shoot if you must, this old gray head
King Henry of Navarro!
Roll on, thou deep and dark blue cas-
tied crags of Drachenfels:
Ny name is Norval; on the Grampian
Hills, ring out, wild bells!
1t you're waking call me early, to be
or not to be;
The curfew must not ring tonight,
Oh, woodman, spare that tree.
Charge, Chester, Charge! On, STAN
!, ley, on! And let who will be
clever!
The boy stood on the burning deck,
but / go on forever"
His elocution was superb, his voice
and gesture fine;
His schoolmates all applauded as he
finished the last line.
81 see it doesn't matter" Robert
thought, what words ! say.
So long as l declaim with oratorical
display"

Pres. c. X. Preus, DR.. Laur Larsen.
Rev. l. b. Torrison and Prof. l.. s.

Use Any Stamp on Parcel Post.

Any postage stamp may be used on
parcel post packages beginning July /,
according to an order received at the
Des Moines post-ofice. Parcel post
stamps may be used on any other mail
matter.

sue any more stamps exclusively for
parcel post when the present supply is
exhausted
The c. O. d. feature of the parcel post
became effective yesterday The only
extra charge to the shipper will be lC
cents, which will pay for the insurance
of the parcel and the collection. At the
destination enough excess will be col
lected to pay for the money order to
the sender.
A change has been made in the insur-
ance feature of parcels. Formerly the
insurance fee was 10 cents for all parcels
up to $50 in value Now parcels valued
at less than SIS may be insured for
cents.

Getting Booze for the Fourth.

The express companies and the
Milwaukee freight Office have been al
most swamped the past few days with
shipments of beer for the Fourth of
July. From $50 to 175 cases of beer
have been received every day since
last Friday, and today and tomorrow
will probably be banner days. We
were told that one brewery alone
shipped five car loads into this coun-
ty the past week. The hot weather
and the approach of the national
holiday is the cause of the unusual
receipts.
AS yet the expected regulations
stopping shipment have not been is
sued, and all common carriers in this
territory are shipping as usual, with
the exception Of the Rock Island.

Makes Big Profit on Farm.

New Hampton, Ia, June 80
Five years ago William Carroll pur-
chased forty acre farm one mile
west of New Hampton, paying the
fabulous sum of $50 per acre. For
this bit of foolishness his friends
joked him to such an extent that he
was ashamed to come to town. All
OF which sounds like a fable, but it
is the truth. A few days ago Mr..
Carroll sold this same farm for
IS, 500, nearly trebling his money
in five years, realizing a net profit
of $4,000. His jocular neighbors
now are wondering who was foolish
and who was wise. Mr.. Carroll has
lived on the farm these five years,
during which the land has yielded
many times the needs of the family,
thus adding extra profit to his invest
ment. The present crop, valued at
not less than one thousand dollars
belongs to Mr.. Carroll, as he does
not give possession until the first
of March. The new owner is F.
Bettin of Richland township, who
has purchased the place for a home
for his retirement. AS far as can be
known this price exceeds anything
ever paid for Chickasaw county
farm

THE HOSPITAL SUBSCRIPTION.
Fund Reaches SD $4,000 as SUBJ
scripti0ns Continue to Come in.
The Hospital Public Duty.

As we go to press the subscrip-
lions TO the hospital fund have reach
ed the sum of S22,650.00. During
the past week the committee has
been busy with canvass of the bust
ness men and citizens of the city,
most of whom have given as liber-
ally as they can afford to the fund,
but as is always the case, there are
many who ought to give, who owe
something to this town and this COM
<lunity, who could well afford 10
give, but have not done so. The sur
prising thing to the committee is
that so few people regard this hos
pital proposition in the light of a
public duty. Some seem to live on
the plan of get all you can out of
a community and give nothing back
This is not matter of donation, of
generosity, of giving your money
away. 1t is a public duty, just the
same as the payment of your taxes.
This hospital ought to be built and
operated at public expense, and paid
by a general tax, and some day the
law will require this. While now
it is all a free will offering, yet it
is as much a public duty as the
building of roads, the caring for the
poor, the insane, and the criminal.
AS the end of the subscription ap-
proaches it becomes the harder to
raise, and the committee will be
grateful to all who will send in
whatever sum they may wish to give
as soon as possible.

Knee High and Then Some.

Knee high on the Fourth of

shiek county corn puts to shame this
year, for in all parts of the county
may be found corn fields waist high
and more. The past two weeks one

There are many fine fields in the
county, but we think none excel a
half acre piece A. L. Abbey has in
West DEBORAH. At the close of the
short course he bought at auction
ten ears of pure pedigreed prize win
ming Silver King corn, raised by Mr.
Goddard, paying S6.75 for it. 1t
was planted May Sth, and at the end
of three weeks barely showed out OF
the ground, but we went into the
field yesterday afternoon, and the
stalks everywhere reached higher
than mans head when lifted up
and up to his shoulders as they
grew. 1t is one of the finest fields
of corn we ever saw at this time OF
the year. Mr. Abbey also has an
eleven acre field adjacent to it OF
Yellow Dent corn that is about as
good, and runs even throughout the
entire field. 1t is worth a trip over
to see this corn, and also to see his
fine mare and three of her colts at
her side in the pasture, one month,
one year and two years old, all from
the same sire. They are beauties.
Pat Roman has a field of corn near
the fair grounds that will give the
above close race, and in fact it is
