The Presidents Wrath.
The members of the Presidents
Cabinet and many distinguished
statesmen, claimed that they had
the 'time of their lives" at the Car
aboa dinner, until President Wilson
showed his anger over the fun polk
ed at his Philippine policy. And when
the head of the nation arose in
splendid wrath the songs that hal
been sung for fourteen years lost
their punch" President Wilson
health prevented his attendance at
the Gridiron dinner, when his ad-
ministration was the subject of cart
cature and good-natured jests on the
part of the new spaper men OF the
Capital. And now critics of the
President are unkindly charging
that he takes these affairs too seri-
ously and that even as President Il
would not hurt him to take joke"
along with the rest of his govern
! ment chiefs.

OLD PEOPLES HOME.
Actual Building Operations OF Aasa
Haugen Home to Begin In
Spring.

At the last annual convention of
the United Lutheran church, held
in st. Paul in June, it was decided
that when $4,000 was subscribed
for the Old Peoples Home, to be
erected on the Aasa Haugen farm,
about three miles south of DEBORAH,
actual building operations should be-
gin. More than 1000 of this sum
has already been reached, and the
board of trustees decided to act i'm
mediately, and do such preliminary
work which would assure full build
ing operations i'm the early spring,
such as getting out plans, speciica-
rock for the foundation and sand to
be used will be quarried and dug
right on the farm, and the work of
getting it out is going on now. A
fine vein of sand has been discovered
just 800 feet from the location This
will be a big saving for the home.
The committee in charge is Rev.
Otto Schmidt, president and finan-
cial agent; H. C. Hjerleid, treasurer;
Rev. j. Fjelde, Waukon, Secretary;
wv. B. Ingvoldstad, Rev. n. Arveson,
st. Olaf and E. r. Thompson, Cres-
co. The committee is determined to
have the building finished by Sept.
1914.

Ed X. Hovden, Decorah's we'll
known real estate man, had birth
day last Friday, and to look at Ed
one wouldn't believe that he is fiirt-

Nevertheless he is, for it was AZ years
ago, on Friday, that he first saw the
light of day, in Madison Twp, where
he spent his young manhood For a
number of years past he has been
one of Decorate good citizens, and
we hope that father time will permit
him to click off good many more
future birthdays

REFORM IN
COUNTY PRISON
CAMP RULES
Grand Jury Committee to Recon-
mend Extension of Power to
Commissioners Board.

Recommendations for an extension
of power to the County Commission
ers in making rules for handling
Fulton County convicts probably will
be made by the convict committee of
the present Grand Jury, according TO
Chairman r. n. Pickett conducting
the investigation of the convict
camps. The report will be made next
week following the completion of the
investigation. .-
The Grand Jury committee also win
go before Governor Slaton to ask for
a redlsposition Of W. N, Thompson.
convict in the white camp. who is
said 10 be afflicted with tuberculosis.
The pleaw ilr be made on the grounds
that Thompson is a menace to the
health OF the other convicts. o.
Thompson has served three years
of his ten-year sentence imposed fos
the killing OF a Snowman in Dalton,
ia, IN 1911.
With the single exception of the
Thompson case Chairman Pickett de-
clared Saturday the committee found
the convict camps visited thus far in
excellent condition.
The one and only glazing defect
in the present maintenance OF the
camps" said Mr.. Pickett, is the limi-
tation of the authority of the County
Commissioners
This does not seem right, for rules
that apply TO the regulation of a
camp in Bibb County or elsewhere,
may not apply to a camp in Fulton
County. The committee probably win
make recommendations to remedy
this condition"
