Valdez COLLEGE PRODUCT
Pro bssOr Now Holding Principal
ship in Business College at
Pasadena, California.

Scattered all over the United
States are scores of young men and
women, all holding responsible and
paying positions, who secured their
training for such in Valders Col
lege, of DEBORAH. Prof. Valdez has
been at the head of this popular in
stitution for a great many years,
and the good work he has accom-
plished in fitting out young men and
women for responsible business
lives, will live many years after he
lays down his important work, which
we hope will not be for many years
to come. He has looked out for the
students who entrusted their educa-
tional opportunities to him, and
practically each and every one are
today in positions of trust and owe
their good fortune to his training.
Valder's college simply doesn't lay
on a veneered education, but one
that will stand the acid test. Out
in Pasadena, California, there is a
young man, well known to DEBORAH
people, Prof. Ralph E. Oliver, who
now holds the principalship of Potts
Business College, who secured his
collegiate training at Valder's col
lege in DEBORAH. The following is
from the Pasadena Star:
I'm engaging r. E. Oliver to as
sumo the principalship of the COM
mercial department of Potts bust
ness college, Mr.. Pott has secured a
man of unusual ability and expert
ence.
Mr.. divers collegiate training
was secured in the wellLknown VAL
der normal college, at DEBORAH, Ia,
and the Upper Iowa university. He
is a so thoroughly trained in the
common branches having had practi-
cal experience in a bank, wholesale
house and freight office as we'll as
having been secretary to the presi-
dent of university and a court re-
porter, after graduating in all the
commercial subjects from the Up
per Iowa university commercial col
lege and the interstate schools of
Iowa.
Mr.. Oliver comes of family PROM
inent in his chosen field. His uncle
invented the typewriter that bears
his name His father for many
years successfully operated a COM
mercial school, so Mr.. Oliver has
been reared in the atmosphere.
Mr.. and Mrs. Oliver and their
young son will arrive in Pasadena
during the next two weeks in order
to get settled before he resumes his
position in the Potts business col
lege.
Mr.. and Mrs. Oliver have been ac-
tive in religious and civil affairs in
their home town. Mr.. oliver being
active in the New Hampton chamber
of commerce and superintendent Of
the Sunday school of the New Hamp-
ton Methodist church of which Mrs.
oliver was director of the choir"

Unlucky Friday at Waukon Fair.

Friday afternoon at the Fair bore
out the old time reputation of the
day for being unlucky. Numerous
accidents happened but none of them
were serious. In the pacing race FL
dredge was thrown from his sulky
and the horse, Tom Riley, went the
mile without a break, dragging the
overturned sulky after him. In the
$3.50 race Daisy Dean choked and
fell and was afterward drawn from
the race. In the sixth inning Of the

DEBORAH HORSE in FAST RACE
Princess Welcome, Gray Mare, Own.
ed by VIM. Roman, of DecOrah,
Has Race Record of
2:O7l,

VIM. Roman, of DEBORAH, has ev-
cry reason to feel proud of his gray
trotting mare, Princess Welcome, an
animal which is attracting thousands
of race admirers all over the coun-
try at the big race meets. The horse
is being driven by Joe Mclaughlin,
of Marshalltown, who has had her
in charge for the past two years.
The following from Fridays Chi
cago Record Herald will be read
with interest, concerning a big race
meet at Galesburg, ILL.,, last Thurs
day:
Before a. crowd of 10000 people
on the district fair grounds. The
Comet won the 2:14 trot Thursday
after six as gamely fought heats as
have been seen here. The throng
was aroused to great enthusiasm. 1t
was the Introductory race on the
Great Western Circuit score card
and every inch of the way was con-
tested by Princess Welcome.
The Princess won the first two
heats, taking the first by a narrow
margin in 2:07 y, the fastest heat
of the race The Comet led at the
half and held the lead until near the
wire, when he broke and Princess
Welcome won by nose.
In the second heat the Princess
won in driving finish. After that
she appeared to tire and The Comet
became the favorite in the betting.
He passed the Princess at the first
turn in the third heat and was new
err headed. The fourth heat was be-
tween Dublin Lady and The Comet.
but the latter broke at the three
quarters. Princess Welcome was
coming fast, but went also into a
breah and Dublin Lady won.
In the fifth heat The Comet took
the lead at the third quarter and
maintained it and i'm the sixth won
again, although trailing the Prin-
cess most of the way

FARMERS COMING TO IOWA.
We'll Known DEBORAH Man Says
Farmers Are Discouraged in
Illinois.

A friend of one of DEBORAH g
we'll known real estate dealers, who
has spent a month or more in Illi-
nois brings back the information
that to his personal knowledge
there will be at least seyenty-tive
families in one section of Illinois,
who will come to northeastern Iowa
this fall for the purpose Of buying
farms. The dry season in Illinois has
made conditions such that they
have become discouraged and hav-
ing read about northeastern Iowa
and the almost unfailing reliability
crate to this land of promise.

In The Cleaning.

In the cleaning, oh, my darling,
When the cars are whizzing past
Sit we two upon our front porch
Till we see the very last.
1t is time to seek the feathers,
But we linger still outside;
Twenty persons said they'd take us
Out a-riding, but they lied.
In the cleaning, oh, my darling,
We will sit till midnight's hour,
AS the motor cars fly past us
On the wings of benzine power.
Do not give up hope, my darling,
Keep a-smiling, and sit tight;
If we wait for twenty summers,
Maybe one will stop some night
