BIERMANN GETS PosTOFFICE.
Democratic Committee Recommends
Him for Appointment to Succeed
j. j. Marsh.

On Friday the committee repres-
enting the democrats of Iowa in rec
ommending applicants for appoint
ment to the various postoffices
throughout the state, held a meeting
in Washington, ID. c., and determined
upon the persons they would recon-
ment to President Wilson through the
Postmaster General for appointment
to postmasterships in the state where
the terms of the present officials had
expired. The committee consists of
National Committeeman Nj. j. Wade
of Iowa City, State Chairman N. F..
Reed of Ottumwa and the democratic
congressman, l. S. Pepper, Maurice
Connolly and SAINT Kirkpatrick.
Among the names recommended
was that of F. E. Biermann for post
master of DEBORAH to succeed ]. J..
Marsh, whose term expired in Janu-
airy, but because the democrats in the
senate then refused to confirm APP
pointments, his successor was not
named under the republican admins
tration.
Mr.. Biermann is to be congratulate
ed upon his exceptional good fortune.
1t is a lucky thing to be standing at
the counter when pie is being passed,
and the postmastership in DEBORAH is
one of the best political jobs in the
district.
The appointment will doubtless be
sent to the senate by President VIII
son during the special session, and as
soon as confirmed he will take charge
of the Office.

THE LAST EXPENSE.
BY Walter G.. Doty.

We talk of the high cost of living
But the high cost of dying is worse.
You can ride to the Coast in a Pull
man
For what a mile costs in hearse.
"They had whole hackful OF no
wersi'
Then the friends and mourners dis
perse.
You always die ere you expect it
And the insurance money must go
TO pay the "mortician" his charges
When it ought to clothe Bobby,
you know;
And Susie quits school for the fac'ry,
For the doctor is waiting, also.
Object to the mortician's charges?
Unheard of! The height of poor
taste!
Last need of respect and affection
Who'd count such an outlay a
waste?
Though the furniture has to be mort
gagged
And the widow to marry must
haste.
! You may have the luck of Jonah
And fail in whatever you try;
You may have struggle terrific
To live with the prices so high:
But for goodness sake put off your
dying
Until you have something laid by.

Thompson Works Branching Out.

The deal was closed last week for
the taking over of the plant of Albert

do auto and tire repairing and many
other kinds of work. Additional help
will be employed, so as TO enable
them to take care of the increased
business.

Profit of 1891 from Acre of Onions.
In Farm and Fireside appears the
story of Mr.. " Green, a Colorado
rancher who raised onions against the
advice of all his neighbors while they,
his neighbors, grew cantaloupes. Fol-
lowing is an extract:
Back home in Maryland Mr.. Green
had been a ruck-farmer and had dis
covered onions a first rate crop. So
and rented a five-acre young apple
orchard on the basis of using the mid
dies for truck in return for caring
for the trees, his first thought was
onions. The neighbors, hearing that
the newcomer contemplated raising
onions, FASTENED to assure him with
emphatic unanimity that onions could
not be grown successfully in that To-
cality. OF what followed Mr.. Green
tells in his own way:
In October / plowed them out,
topped them and put them up in one
hundred pound sacks. There were
nine tons. They ran so evenly they
needed almost no sorting. The nine
tons were sold to the stores and pri-
vate parties at an average of two and
one-half cents a pound, $3.50 being
received for the crop. After deduct
ing IS for seed, $25 for help and $23
for two wheel-hotes and a seed-drill
l had net profit from the acre of
1894.
'As for the four acres of canta-
loupes, shipped my yield along with
some thousand other growers, to the
eastern markets. 1t happened to be
a good year for cantaloupes and poor
year for cantaloup prices. The bot
tom fell out of the market in mid
sason. The growers, ignorant of the
fact, kept on shipping, and when the
final returns were in, found they had
not got their box material back on
part of their shipments. AS a cons
equence, they barely came out even
on their crop. Though | did a little
better than some of my neighbors, if
it had not been for the acre of onions
l should have had little to show for
my summers labor"

RESOLUTIONS
Passed by Col. Hughes Post G.. NJ
at Its Regular Meeting Last =
Saturday.

At a regular meeting of Colonel
Hughes Post, April 9Th, 1913, the fol-
lowing resolution was unanimously
adopted:
Headquarters of Col Hughes Post,
16S G. A. r.
The door of Col. Hughes Post has
again opened to the silent messen ger
whose coming no man knoweth: an
other comrade lives only in mem Dry;
another link has gone from the circle
of comradeship; taps have sounded
over the silent form of a We eran
whose reveille will only awaken on
life's eternal morn.
Erynild Anundsen was born De-
cember 29, 1914, in the city of Skien,
Norway, and died at his home in De-
corah, Iowa March 25th, 1913. Com
rade Anundsen in his business and
social relations was the soul of honor,
in all his relations of life, he did the
true and the right as he saw it; he
was a patriot-not in name, but in
deed. He lovea his adopted country
because it was to him his fellow-man;
he offered himself to die for it, be-
cause lie DtlicN6u IL W Dc HIS uulg.
Our dead comrade was not man
of ostentation: life to him was real
and earnest and he was content to be
an earnest worker in the ranks of hui
man life. He worked long and we'll;
others may have done more than he
to mark their pathway through life
but none tried to do more for God,
home and fellowmen than did he.
There are others whose names have
been sounded more loudly by the
trumpets of fame, but none whose
memory will be longer, or more CRATE
fully cherished by their intimate COM
panions in the walks of human life.
We bid him then, farewell, in the
hope and faith that the work done by
him on this earth, has won for him a
blissful Immortality.
Resolved: That our charter be
draped in mourning for thirty days;
that copy of this resolution be
spread upon the records of our Post.
Also that copy be presented to the
| family and copies be given the city
papers for publication.
