DEMONSTRATION TOMORROW.
An Orchard Pruning and Spraying
Demonstration Will be Held by
Prof. HetZel, of Ames. i'm
DEBORAH Tomorrow.

Tomorrow afternoon, at three
o'clock, Professor Hetzel of the Hor-
ticultural department, Ames, Iowa
will hold an orchard pruning and
spraying demonstration in the or
chard of Atty f. w. Cutting, of De
corah. 1t will be practical pruning
and spraying demonstration.
Iowa produces fruit of maximum
quality when nature is assisted by
three fundamental principles Of or
chard management, namely; pru l.
ing, spraying and cultivation.
Many farmers would be willing &c
prune their orchards if they knew
how and when the work should 30
done. Perhaps the average orchard
in Iowa is neglected more than any
other one thing connected with the
farm. Every farm in Iowa should
have a good cared for home orchard
on it.
Tell your friends and neighbors
about the pruning and spraying
demonstration. An apple tree select
ed by those present will be pruned
and reasons given for making such
and such cuts. The time Of year fol
pruning will be given. Every phase
pertaining to orchard tree pruning
will be discussed, such as high and
low headed trees; spreading and up
right growers; cutting and heading
back; dehorning; winter and sum
mer pruning; girdling, etc.
The subject of spraying will be
discussed and demonstrated as fal
as equipment at hand will permit
This phase of orchard management
is in itself perhaps the most impor'
tant subject pertaining to orchard
management. The important insect
orchard pests and diseases Of this
locality will be discussed and also the
best sprays for their control.
The school children, especially the
high school students, are especially
invited to attend this meeting.

OratoricaI Contest Fine.

An audience of not far from 500
assembled at Postyille's New Turner
Hall last Friday evening to witness
the Sub-District Declamatory Contest,
participated in by the winners of
the home contests in the lndepen-
dence, Elkader, Monona, DEBORAH,
Gutenberg, Postville, Fayette,
Greene, Cresco and Lansing high
schools. And TO say it was splendid
is putting it very mildly. 1t could
not we'll have been improved. There
was not poor number on the pro-
gram and had we been asked to
award the honors each one would
have been given a first prize badge,
for we believe they deserved it, Any
how We all have reason to feel proud
of the splendid capabilities of the
boys and girls of our high schools.
We congratulate the winners and
also the losers, the former have rea-
son to be proud of their success and
the latter have no occasion to become
disheartened by their defeat, rather
it should be an incentive to spur them
on to victory at another time.-Post-
vile Review.

DEBORAH friends of Lawrence
Ryggs, the base ball pitcher, who re-
Gently went to Portland, Oregon, to
play ball with the Portland team, re-
ceived copies of recent issue of the
Sunday Oregonian, showing two ex-
cellent pictures of Mr.. Ryggs in uni
form at Portland. One picture shows
nine promising young pitchers stand
ing in a row with Mr.. Ryggs at the
head, showing him to be the largest
and strongest looking athlete in the
bunch. The other picture shows him
in action ready to deliver the ball.
The Oregonian says that Riggs will
show plenty of stuff under good nur-
sing, and here is hoping that he
makes the team. He is under Man
ager McCredie, an old DEBORAH ball
player, who played here when Decor
an had one of the best teams in the
state. Portland is playing class A
ball, and last season won the cham
pionship Of the Pacific coast.

A Physlcian's Advice.

A Physicians Advice. II.
"Td certainly give most anything
to be able to fat up few pounds and
stay that way" declares every exces-
sIvely thin man or woman Such q
result is not impossible, despite past
failures. Thin people are victims of
mal-nutrition, condition which pre-
vents the fatty elements of food from
being taken up by the blood as they
are when the powers of nutrition are
normal Instead of getting into the
blood, all the fat and flesh producing
elements stay in the intestines until
they pass from the body as waste.
To correct this condition and to
produce a healthy normal, amount OF
fat the nutritive processes must be
artificially supplied with the power
which nature has denied them. This
can best be accomplished by eating
a Sargol tablet with every meal Sar-
agol is scientific combination of six

is perfectly natural and absolutely
harmless.

ment of nervous indigestion and gem
