| CREDITABLE UNDERTAKING.
Business Men of DEBORAH Oil Road
Leading to Trout Run.

A very creditable undertaking
was started last week by few
we'll known business men of Decor
ah. They subscribed fund sufficient
to oil the road from Decorah's new
hospital site as far as the Rock Is
land railroad crossing this side of
the Trout Run mill. And they ex-
pect to oil as far as the bridge east
of the mill just as soon as the coun-
ty makes some repairs on the road.
The oiling was superintendent by
j. P. Burns and his men and the
job is a good one
The traffic on this road is excep-
tionally heavy at all times, and the
oiling of this stretch is worth a good
deal, and is a credit to the citizens
who made the work possible.
With automobiles increasing by
hundreds in every county each year,
we presume it's only matter of time
when the country roads will all be
oiled the same as the city thorough
fares. 1t is simple matter to oil
them and can be done in an econo-
mical manner too, and then what
a real pleasure it would be to man
and beast to spin over these oiled
roads.

PALZER TO FIGHT.
Iowan Will Meet Fulton Again i'm
August.

Duluth, Mimi, July 27.-Mike
Collins, the Hudson promoter and
chief stakeholder of the big arena
there announced Friday morning
that he expects to sign up Al PalzeI
and Fulton, the Minneapolis heavy
for another ten round bout at Hud-
son about August Is. Palzer is now
on farm near Perham, Mimi, and
Collins learns has been training hard
for the last six or seven weeks.
Palzer, says Mr. Collins, has ex-
pressed a willingness to go against
Fulton again and the big policeman
who was knocked out at their last
meeting feels that he would like to
show Palzer that the X. o. didn't
count. Collins said that as result
he will go to the Twin Cities on Sat-
urday to try to close the match.
Mr.. Palzer has the following to
say about the proposed match:
when ] fought Fulton before
was too sick with malaria to train
or get myself into the proper shape. v
said AlonZo. Il took the match and
did what training | could without
a heavyweight to box with or any
adequate training. Since the bout
have been in the hands of a physi-
clan battling malaria and am now
feeling in good shape and in mood
for little ruction with the Fulton
boy
This time though l will require
bit more cash than / did before
have licked this fellow once and il
l am asked to do it again l am
afraid that l will have to have the
ante boosted bit even if they have
to take it off his share.
Il don't want to fight in August
as it is too hot and the bout would
not draw flies if it happened to fall
on one of these hot nights. / think
that state fair week, when the city
is full of visitors from the country
would be a good time and that a
heavyweight card pulled off then
would pack them in. / am perfectly
willing to fight Fulton any old time
but | want to have something to say
about the details next time"

Fish For Food.

The democrats put the republi-
cans out of power by charging that
the republicans were responsible for
the high cost of living. 1t was also
charged that the tariff caused the
high cost of living.
The country gave credit to these
to power. Now the democrats have
not delivered the goods The high
cost of living has not been reduced.
The tariff has been reduced and still
the troubles continue. In fact, as
Colonel Roosevelt says, 1.-The tariff
changes have operated for the bene-
fit of the foreigner" and have done
man, excepting to reduce his oppor-
.tunity to labor.
Now the national agricultural de-
partment recommends, as a means
of reducing the high cost of living,
th"I thO iai hCiS 81 " piecuihS anu
cultivating FISH for food. Think of
it! This recommendation coming
from meat-eating-party. Fish!
Fish is the food in China and Japan.
1t is the food of the islanders of
the sea, and the democrats can think
of no other way of reducing the cost
OF living excepting by the cultivation
of fish.
