A very fine subscription to the
hospital comes from Mr.. and Mrs

scribed 100000 to endow a room in
the hospital, in memory of Mrs.

The gift comes in the following
letter to Mr.. Ben Bear, chairman of
the hospital committee:
Dear Mr.. Bear
Mr.. Reeves and myself have
watched with great interest the sub
scriptions to the Hospital Fund"
for hospital in DEBORAH, and since
the success of the undertaking
seems assured, we wish to pledge
three hundred dollars ($300.00) to
be used in furnishing room, in
memory of my dear father, who was
one of the first physicians to prac-
tice in the county, and who continued
to practice until he passed away
in 1897. Very cordially yours,
ADA B. REEVES.

ANNUAL FAIR MEETING.
Officers Elected and Fair Set for
Third Week in September.

shiek County Agricultural Society
was held at the court house Saturday
afternoon, and there was larger at
tendance than usual. Treasurer l..
L. Caldwell read his report OF last
years fair, showing receipts of
$2S1366 and expenditures of S2672.-
IS, which leaves still an Indebtedness
of $500 on the previous fairs. Mr..
z. ]. Curtin then reported the pur-
chase of the grounds and the addi-
ton of large tract by DEBORAH bust
ness men, as we'll as contemplated
improvements to be made this sum-
mer which will greatly add to the
appearance and convenience of the
grounds, all of which have been out
lined in these columns. G. F. Bak-
er was reelected president and Hon.
L. NJ. Enger was elected secretary.
This is the all-important position in
connection with the fair, and his eX-
perience in the short course work
and acquaintance over the county
make him the logical man for the
place. l.. l.. Caldwell was reelected
treas, the executive committee was
reelected, and the vice presidents
from each township are to be select
ed by the officers. 1t was decided to
hold the fair this fall the third week
in September, beginning the 26th,
and morning sessions will probably
be arranged for. o. o. Lomen, Ed
Brakeman and E. ]. Curtin were ap-
pointed a committee to revise the
premium list.
Everything points to revival OF
the old-time fair in DEBORAH, where
people from all parts of the country
will come together to meet their
friends and neighbors, where there
will be much to see and amuse, and
many exhibits of the products of the
county. All that is necessary to
have the greatest county fair in Iowa
here is the cooperation of the peo
pie.
Monday morning several of the Of
ficers and directors of the fair drove
to Postville, where they met the Of
ficers of the fairs of West Union,
Waukon and Elkader, and together
formed an association of fairs, for
mutual benefit. They will engage
attractions together, arrange rae
ing circuit, and join together in pro-
curing for northeastern Iowa the
very best attractions obtainable for
these fairs. Already high class
aerial and wire performing troupe
OF six people have been engaged,
one of the very best companies
known, and also horizontal bar
couple OF star performers. A
special racing circuit that will at
tract fast horses from long distan-
ces may be arranged, and large
number of concessions will be on
the grounds. There will be the
best line of attractions, the most ex-
hibits, the largest crowds and the
best county fair in DEBORAH in TWEEN
ty years next September, we firmly
believe.
Come to the fair meeting next
Saturday.

1914 Singing Fest in Norway.

Great preparations are already be-
ing made for the song festival that is
to be held in Christiania, Norway,
in 1914. The exact time of holding
it is not yet decided, but it is esti-
mated that at least 1000 singers will
participate. The exposition commit
tee has offered an auditorium with a
seating capacity of 5000. The stage
is to be large enough to accommodate
LOO singers. 1t is thought that
the different singing societies OF the
country will send at least 1000 sing
ers. Christiania will furnish from
700 to 500, and from 200 to 300 will
go from America. The program
Is to consist entirely of Norwegian
and texts. The singers
from America, however, will be CIV
EN- the privilege Of other compost
lions if they so choose. Five large
have been appointed to
make the necessary arrangements.

A Time-Saving Device.

Every employee in the Bank Of
England is required to sign his name

son therefor. The chief cause of tar
diness is usually fog, and the first
man to arrive writes fog opposite
his name, and those who follow write
ditto" The other day, however,

son, wife had twins" and twenty

Big Order From Government.

Last week the Marsh Music House
entered an order from the Depart
ment Of the Interior, Indian Divi-
sion, for musical instruments for
the Haskell School at Lawrence, Kan
sas, which totaled $4,000. Orders
of this size are not unusual with this
large and popular music house and
the fact that this order was secured
in competition with the largest con-
Germs of the country is evidence OF
the standing and capacity OF the To-
cal concern.

Helping the Hospital Fund.

One of the incest subscriptions TO
the hospital fund comes from the
Helping Hand Society, $500. AS
is well known, this society is engaged
exclusively in charity work and does
not keep large fund on hand, but
they have shown their interest in the
project by giving sociable, the pro
ceeds of which go to the hospital,
and this subscription is very much
appreciated. The Yeomen lodge
has also given $500 from its treas
ury, and the Odd Fellows of the
country are raising subscription
fund among the members of the two
lodges at DEBORAH and Burr Oak,
which will probably reach several
hundred dollars. Other societies and
organizations are making plans to
help in the raising of the last few
thousand dollars, the hardest part,
of the fund.
Another splendid subscription
comes from the Eastern Star Club
an organization of ladies belonging
to this order, who are en-
gagged in social and charity work.
These gifts are appreciated. The
task Of raising the $4,000 becomes
harder as the end approaches, and
generous hearted people have given
all they can afford, so that it must
come from individuals and organiza-
tons who ordinarily do not contri-
butte to public projects.

days the interstate commerce commits
sion, it is learned, will deny the ex-
press companies their requested rise in
rates and insist upon the maximum
rates ordered by the commission last
summer and protested by the com

companies viii be given no relief in
their contest for the carving trade
of parcels weighing from five to 100
pounds in competition with the govern
ment. If the pictures of disaster paint
ed by the lawyers for the express in
terests are fulfilled as a result of this
new decision, it will mean a serious
blow to this great business. The order
of Postmaster General Burleson an
nouncing a cutting of parcel post rates
on Aug. u is another blow of the same
kind.

INSURANCE MONEY
GOES TO WIDOW
Policy Had Been Given as Additional
Security and Proceeds Applied
to Mortgage Note.

Judge 4. H. Albee of Bellows Falls
presided yesterday at hearing in
Townshend which had to do with the
disposition of an insurance policy that
had been assigned to the Jamaica Saw
lngs bank as additional security to a
real estate mortgage.
William b. Clark of Jamaica, former
ly owner of the Jacksonville and Brat
tleboro stage route, bought in 1910 the
Jamaica hotel property, giving a mort
gage on the property to the Jamaica
Savings bank and his interest in life
insurance policy for $4,000 This policy
was assigned to the bank as additional
security. Mr.. Clark died from aeciden-
tai injuries July 9, 1911, and the in
surance company paid 1892 to the
bank and this amount was endorsed
upon the mortgage note.
The administrator of the estate pro
ceeded to settle and rendered his ac-
count. Mrs. Clark claimed the insur-
ance money and the administrator, in
making the settlement, treated the
amount as belonging to her. Certain
creditors of the estate objected to the
allowance of the administrator s ac-
count. claiming that the insurance DO
hey should be considered part of the
estate. The court, after full hearing,
ordered that the 1892 of insurance
money be treated as the property of
Maud Il. Clark, the widow, and turned
over to her by the administrator. Rv-
der d Graham and A. W. Butler were
for the obJecting creditors, A. V. ID.
Piper for the administrator and E. w.
Gibson for Mrs Clark.
