Our neighboring city of Calmal

the much advertised Farmers Day
last Saturday was a failure on ac-
count of the rain which started ear
ly in the afternoon and continued

pie of Calmar had made extensive
preparations to entertain the unus-
ually large crowd they surely
would have had, and the day would
have been big success except for
the rain. Calmar and Ossian were
to play ball, and both were streng-
thened with city league players.
Had the weather been pleasant a
large number would have gone over
from DEBORAH.

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside, the national farm paper
published at Springfield, Ohio, Nat.
T. Frame, a government employee
who has large orchards and super
intends them himself, writes about
the value of advertising to farmers.
He says in part
Advertise, advertising, adver-
tisements, advertising campaigns
and advertising bills-magic words.
And even we farmers are catching
on. Didn't John Pickering Ross
hit the nail on the head recently
when he told the sheepmen not to
sell their flocks, but to advertise
their mutton? People do not eat
mutton because they do not know
how good it is when bred right, fed
right, butchered right and cooked
right. Some keen organizations OF
sheepmen are going to show a num-
Der of these people who are at
present non-consumerS OF either
lamb, ram, sheep or mutton how
short-sighted they are, and by so
doing will create a more active de-
mand for their special product.
80, too, we may expect to see
the day when even the young clerk
who is but beginning his life at the
lunch-counter will put up kick II
his buckwheat cakes are not cooked
from real buck-wheat flour served
with maple syrup. That Is, If the
buck-wheat growers and millers and
the maple-grove owners catch on to
the value of advertising as early as
we think they will.
If we apple-growers do not soon
formulate and put into execution
some comprehensive advertising
scheme to reach the present non
consumers of apples we may not be
able to sell our crops profitably."

BRANCH PLANT AT PROSPER.
Woldum Produce Co. Will Erec
New Building and Establish
Branch.

The Woldum Produce Co., which
has been expanding its capacity and
territory ever since it started in
business here, and especially this
summer, when it doubled the capa-
city of the local plant, announces
that it will move its plant at Pres
ton, Mimi. to Prosper, Mimi, where
a new building 2SxS0, three stories
in height, the same size as their
new DEBORAH plant, will be erected.
Prosper business men offered them
a good bonus to move there, and
the removal will enable them to
handle the business along the Pres
ton branch of the railway and
towns tributary thereto, being
more centrally located, and besides
more easy of access to their main
plant in this city. 1t is also proba-
BILE that another plant will be locat-
ed later at some point on the South
ern Minnesota branch of the Mil
waukee.
We are glad to note the contin-
ued growth of this company from
time to time, for it has become one
of Decorah's largest business enter
prises.

DEBORAH BOY A MINER.
John Linde. Formerly of This City
Mining Coal i'm South Dakota.

The Isabel Ignite Mines are at
tracing widespread notice. Messrs.
Robbins and Linde are opening up
a new business for this country.
When the Brown coal mine was
opened in the fall of 1910, Nick
Witzill who was then hauling, had
hard work disposing of what coal
he hauled to town. No one realized
the value of what lay so close to
home. 1t was not until last fall
when E. A. Robbins with two teams
and one man dug and scraped away
large portion of the hill that any
one thought anything about its com
mercial value to any extent. Mr..
Robbins kept the town supplied last
winter and realizing the possibili-
ties he interested John Linde and
together they hired men and teams
to go to work. The payroll at pres
ent is over $50 a day and the first
car of coal was shipped last Satur-
day. They are moving faster now
and cars are sent out daily.
The railroad is discriminating in
its rates and efforts are being put

Pure Food Inspector Here.

Mr.. II. +. Forester, one of the
pure food inspectors of the state,
was in the city Monday, and made
an inspection of the various places
selling foodstuffs here. He inform
ed us that the merchants of Decor
an are making a general attempt to
obey the new laws, and that on this
trip he found but one infraction of
the law and that general, which is
the measuring OF berries for sale by
liquid instead of dry measure.
There is a difference, he says, of ten
cubic inches in these measurements
and the law requires them to prose-
cute infringments.

FOREIGNERS AND OUR INVESTMENTS

Is there entire justification for all this depreca-
ton and humility which enter into discussion of the
foreign investors attitude toward American securi-
ties? 1t is all well enough to be sorry that any
American interest should have sold stocks bonds
unnecessary to grovel in the dust to make general
confession that bad and unreliable lot, and
that we deserve only the contempt of honest men.
1t is not so very many years since the magic
name of the great De Lesseps loaned to securi-
ties exploitation project which has not quite been
equaled, in this any other country, for the reck-
lessness that marked the capitalization of blue sky
and Misrepresentation. That performance was put
on by these same conservative" French brethren
who just now are holding up their hands in horror
at the thought of our degradation.
Across the channel, of much later date, we find
the record of the Napoleonic exploits of Hcoley,
who used the best names in the kingdom as come
ons to induce the innocent purchaser to luy all
manner of things-except good things. There was
the era of unbridled speculation in Kaffrs in rub
Der, etc. Despite the boasted company acts and the
alleged superior moral fiber of the French and Brit,
ish business communities, the biggest financial
bunco games of the last generation have not been
American, by long way.
Ii seems TO be presumed by foreign critics
that America may be indicted for general vicious
ness, if it does the very things that the Euro
pean operators may do with impunity 1t is all very
well to admit our regrets that American promoters
may have wronged foreign investors; but there is
a lot of nonsense about assuming that the foreign
of business morals is so vastly superior to our
own.
