REV. FLEMING QUITS MINISTRY
Former Presiding Elder of DEBORAH
District Will Retire i'm
September.

After forty-one years of continu-
Gus service in the ministry of the
Upper Iowa conference of the
Methodist church, Rev. Thomas E.
Fleming, of Marshalltown, superin-
tendent of the Marshalltown dis
trict, will retire late in September
to become a department manager
in the new American Mortgage and
Securities Company, of Manchester,
Ia, of which Fleming's son-in-law
A. M. Cloud, is president.
Rev. DR.. Fleming occupies a
unique position in the Upper Iowa
conference. He has been in effec-
tive service forty-one years, and for
nineteen years has been a presiding
elder or district superintendent, as
the office is now termed. This is
the longest term of service as a
presiding elder any man in the con-
ference has ever held. Fleming
went on the Davenport district at
the age of SO, in 1887, and served
for five years. He was on the De-
corah district four years, five years
on the Dubuque district, and for
the past five years on the Marshall
town district. Among his most i'm
portant pastorates have been Four

Shipped Horses Today.

AS fine a car of horses as ever
went out of DEBORAH was shipped
by Anderson Bros. today to VIM.
Post a. Son at Long Island, New
York There were % head in the
ear and the animals averaged in
weight from 1900 to 2100 pounds
each. Since the first of the year An
derson Bros. have shipped out
about 80 cars of horses, which
means that in the neighborhood of
$4,000 has been paid to farmers
in this vicinity for good horsefesh
by this one firm. They are always
in the field for a good horse and
pay top notch prices. When it comes
to a first class horse market there
is none better in the state than
right here in DEBORAH.

Facts Worth knowing.

(Curiosities of Our Calendar
There are some curious facts about
our calendar. No century can begir
on Wednesday, Friday or Sunday
The same calendars can be used ev-
cry twenty years. October always be-
gins on the same day of the week
as January, April as July, Septem-
Der as December. February, March
and November begin on the same
days May, June and August always
begin on different days from each
other and every other month in the
year. The first and last days of the
year are always the same. These
rules do not apply to leap year, when
comparison is made between days be-
fore and after February 20.

Some Sense To This.

This summer, and all during the
spring DEBORAH has been visited by
beggars of different descriptions. In
fact we never saw so many here be-
fore, and the following from the
Charles City Intelligencer voices
our sentiments, and good many
more in the matter:
"A husky young fellow visited
this Office yesterday and almost de-
manded a donation. He had lost a
leg and claimed that he would be
compelled to undergo secondary
operation before he would be en-
tirely we'll. Whether his statements
were true or not we do not know
but We do know that his imperti-
nent manner and assumption that
he was entitled to a contribution did
not appeal to us, hence we said,
mo-" This refusal was met with
satirical remarks and inuendo on
the part of the applicant, who
seemed to think that all that was
necessary to secure a. donation was
a strong talk. The writer is char
itably inclined but believes that the
worthy poor should be taken care
of in the communities in which they
have their homes and not be per-
mitted to range at large preylng
uron every community. This latter
method soon develops the man
worthy of charity into a mere beg
sar who at last comes to believe
that the world owes him living"

DON'T LIE TO YOUR WIFE"
Semi.Nlusical Farce Will Open thu
Grand's Fall Season Sep
TENDER 1.

This play which had all Chicago
laughing for four months is from the
pen of Campbell B. Casad, a form
er reporter on the New York Herald,
where he gathered the incidents for
the play from actual observations.
The story briefly told deals in the
adventures of three worthless who
decide to daily with the congenial
existence while their wives and
sweethearts are out of town.
The opening of the play discloses
them after they have dallied to some
extent with some chorus girls, Coney
Island fizz bottles-and law break
ing machine which brings them in
contact with a traffic policeman, who
is only escaped from with a bride.
A busy press agent also adds to
the woes of the three Lotharics, for
this chap ever on the qui vive for
an lad" for the Folly Theatre,
where these three chorus girls hold
forth, brings Amos Doppeldae to his
feet with the impassioned declara-
ton "Nevermore" just as the two
wives and sweetheart, who are sup
posedly out of town, enter the apart
ment.
The men explain that ''Nevermore"
is a sure thing race horse and later
pass off the three blight coryhets as
nieces, and while the men are en-
deavoring to invent further excuses
the three unexpected women sally
forth to wager money on Never
more" incidentally they get caught
by the same bribe-taking policeman
there is mutual discovery of
mistakes, general forgiveness and
happiness for the final curtain.
Music plenty-an up-to-the-min-
ute chorus in stunning costumes and
specialties as we'll, are promised.

FORD PEOPLE IN NEW PLAN.
Have Reduced Price on Cars And
Arrange For a Return Remit
lance.

The Ford Motor company have
reduced the price on their cars for
the year of August first 1914 to
August /, 1915 and besides this
have arranged whereby every retail
buyer who purchases a Ford between
the first of August this year and the
irst of August next year will be
given return remittance of $40 or
$50, according to the kind of car
purchased, providing, that the Ford
company sells an output of 100000
cars in the year which is but a nor
NAL increase for the factory they
having made and sold 221,ySS cars
the past year.
This will mean that between $12,-
100000 and $1S,00O,O00 will be
distributed at the end of the selling
year to retail buyers of Ford cars
if the required production is reach
ed
The prices of the Ford cars start
ing Aug. /, as will be seen by the
Ford advertisement elsewhere in
this paper, will be, runabout,
$40, touring car, $3.50, town or
closed car, $500 or a drop in price
in each instance of $50, with a
chance to secure a return remit
tance of from $40 to $50.
The above makes a big reduction
in the prices. The Ford cars are
sold in DEBORAH by Walter II. Buck
nell, and any prospective purchaser
can secure any further information
from him.
