Jerome A. Huber, well known 10
most everybody in the southern half
of Winneshiek county, son of Mr..
and Mrs. G. H. Huber of Calmar, was
married Wednesday, January b,
1915, at Portland, Oregon, to Miss

DOG SAVED LIVES.
William kipp and Vice Vance Escap
ed From Burning House by
Window.

The persistent barking of a small
house dog, saved the lives of William
Kipp and Vice Vance early Sunday
morning, Jan. 81, at Mason City,
and shortly after the two men had
left the burning house clad only in
their night clothes, the walls col
lapsed, and but few minutes later
the building was a mass of ruins.
The house was completely destroyed
by the flames, and the loss is esti-
mated at $500, which is partially
covered by insurance.
The origin of the fire is unknown
and neither Kipp or Vance were
aware that their lives were in dang
er until they were aroused about
midnight by the barking of small
dog belonging to Kipp. Both men
rushed to the window and dropped
to the ground, only to see the walls
collapse, and the smoke and flames
leap up from the ruins.
An alarm had been turned in by
the neighbors, and members of the
fire department were able only 10
protect the nearby property, and pre-
vent the spread of the fire. The Kipp
residence is located a half mile from
a water main, and this necessitated
fighting the flames with buckets and
tubs.
Mrs. Kipp was in Ossian visiting
her parents and only Vance and Mr.
Kipp were i'm the house at the time
of the fire. Both men are employed
at the cement plant.

The White House Baby and His
Future.

The little offshoot of the. Wilson
family born in the White house, the
son Of Mr. and Mrs. F. B. Sayre, is
theoretically only an ordinary
sproutling of our American demo-
cracy. Under our ideas of equality
he must take his buffetings with the
rest of his generation.
Practically, the luster of distin-
guished origin always attaches TO
the STRIPPING. In school he will be
pointed out as presidents grand
son. Sometimes such children, if CT
a self conscious nature, find this
prominence embarrassing. Envious
companions NAV torment the life out
of their favored comrades, by con-
tinually twitting them of their dis
tinguished ancestry.
More commonly parents drill their
youngsters to flatter and fawn upon
the offspring of prominent person
ages. The latter find themselves
surrounded by artificial conditions.
Everything comes too easy. Social
honors are forced on them, they are
favored in athletic and even school
scholastic awards.
When the scion of a famous fam
lily enters business, their name alone
is worth a substantial salary. Hav-
ing the best education that these
schools can give, and with all the
real advantages of a fine inheritance,
they must be weak indeed If they
cannot maintain a good position III
life.
These soft and favoring conditions
do not develop the most rugged char
acters. The majority of men hold
ing conspicuous position had hum
BILE birth.
But more and more the people III
high life realize that their childrel,
If they are to amount to anything
must be left as much as possible to
force their own way. No doubt this
will be the attitude of the Wilson
family. If a fellow from such an
origin can go through life and main
tain a modest and democratic de-
meanor, he shows there is good stun
i'm him that would have won its way
IL he had to climb unaided.

RESOLUTION FROM
PORTLAND COUNCIL.

The board of directors Of the Gen.
eral Federation of Women's clubs at
its June meeting in Portland, Oregon,
adopted the presidents recommended
ton that thereafter each department
shall consist of chairman and vice
chairman, and with sub-chairman
when necessary, together with the
corresponding state federation COM
mittee chairman. This will make all
departments of uniform size equally
representative of all parts of the
country, and it is believed that in
creased efficiency and cohesiveness
will be the result. Of course this
does not involve the dropping of those
who are now members of the depart
ments, but to them, will be added the
state chairman, and ultimately the
departments will be constituted as in
dictated.
The following resolution was un-
animously passed by the board at
Portland:
SIN view of the distressing condi-
tons growing out Of the war, espe-
cially bearing in mind the women and
children of Europe.
Resolved, That we urge upon the
local biennial board the greatest pos
sible simplicity in all arrangements
for the New York biennial"
Another resolution adopted by TIE
board of general federation in ses.
sion at Portland, Oregon, reafirms
its opposition to any attempt either
state or federal legislation to weaker

If your hair is gray, streaked with

have dandruff and your head itches
simply shampoo your scalp and hair
a few times with Q-Ban Hair Color
Restorer. Nothing else required. In
a day or so all your gray hair will
turn to its natural youthful dark
shade. Entire head of hair will be-
come clean, fresh, lustrous, wavy,
thick, soft, full of life, dark and hand

dye but acts on the roots, making hair
healthy, so the gray hair naturally
turns beautifully dark, so evenly that
no one can tell it has been used. Get

A number of women who make up
he membership of the Woman's CO.
operative Relief Association met yes
terday afternoon at the home Of the
President, Mrs. J. S. McGaughey on
North Spring street, to discuss ways
and means for caring for the many
cases of need that are daily brought
to the attention of the organization.
Pensacola is today facing a situa-
ton that is tragic. It does not help
matters at all to say that we are no
worse off than other cities. The very
fact that we are better off than most
cities makes it all the more shameful
that there are any hungry children
in our city. For it is shameful. 1t
is more than this. 1t is unforgiv-
able.
Today there are children in PEN
sacola who are HUNGRYl Stop and
think about it, you men and women
who have more than you need. For
there are a number of you. How dare
we, who have plenty to eat, plenty
to wear, plenty to enjoy, how dare
we, how can we take any pleasure in
the Injuries of life when little chill
dren cry for bread?
The other night in New Orleans a
maddened father lay tossing in an
guish Of soul all night, while his little
children cried piteously in their hum
ger. When the dawn found him hag-
gard and worn, he crept out into the
street and, in a desperate despair,
! crept through the alley and down the
street, and stole loaf of bread. Can
you picture that fathers miserable,
maddened state Of mind? Can you
imagine what it would be to lie with
your babies moaning about you, be-
cause they were starving? This
father could not bear it, and so he be-
came a thief-a pitiable robber, in
deed, stealing from the doorstep Of
one who had plenty, bread to put into
the little hungry mouths of his six
children.
But he was not used to stealing,
and so, before he could get off with
the breakfast for his children, the
master Of the house shot him down
like dog. And because of this there
is much indignation in the city of
New Orleans, and, thanks to this, the
children seem in a fair way at last
to get enough TO eat.
The wife and mother testified that
her husband had been out of work
for months on account of trouble
with his eyes. She declared that he
was good husband and father, but
he could not get any work, in the con-
dition Of i'll health and failing eye
sight, that he was capable of doing.
Her children were crying Of hunger
and she had besought him to go
somewhere in the morning to get help
for the starving little ones. But not

MEETING WARRINGTON CAMP
FIRE GIRLS.


The Camp Fire Girls of Warning
ton, have many pleasant outdoor
meetings during the summer months,
and Wednesday night proved even
more than usually delightful and in
spring, when they gathered at the
home of their guardian, Miss May
Wheat, for the weekly session.
A swimming and diving contest
featured the meeting, and the health
beads, offered for the one making the
highest standard, were won by Miss
Edith Cooney.
After the swimming contest the
girls enjoyed a watermelon cutting,
and later business session was held
at the home of the guardian, Miss
May Benton being promoted to the
position of fire-maker. Camp fire
songs and dancing closed the pleasant
weekly meeting.
On next Wednesday evening the
Camp Fire Girls from Pensacola, un-
der the direction of their guardian,
Miss Leila Abercrombie, will join the
Warrington Camp, for the evening.

BEACH PARTY FOR
ALABAMA GIRLS.

Mrs. Will Nevins of Birmingham,
Ala, who is spending the summer at
their cottage on Perdido Beach, en-
tertained with a beach party on We'd
nesday night in honor of her daugh-
ter, Miss Louise Nevins, and her
guest, Miss Martha Prince, of Birm-
ingham.
The time was passed in a most
unique way. A large camp fire was
built on the beach and the young and
older guests Joined in a number of
old time outdoor games. Marshmal-
lows were toasted on the camp fire
and very enjoyable refreshments were
served.
The guest list included members OF
Birmingham, Montgomery, Selma and
Pensacola society.

The plants Of young man who is
unfortunately disturbed by conflict
ing doubts that confront matrimony
touch chord of sympathy in others
similarly inclined. He found just the
girl he was sure he loved well enough
to make his wife. He was equally
confident that she returned his affec-
ton. The only drawback the i'm
patient lover realizes is year or
perhaps a little longer, during which
they must wait until the knot is tied
and their modest little home is ready
to step into.
What economy he must practice
with this project in view, which he
will carry out to the letter. She must
never know. Many nights when he
was sacrificing the pleasure of her
company by being hard at extra
work, the thought of how lonely she
must be crossed his mind regretfully.
What if some would-be sutton CHANGED
to cross her threshold and proffer his
escort to her for some amusement
she had set her heart upon attend
ing. Could he decide that she ought
to remain at home, turn her face to-
ward the chair now empty, which he
usually sat in by her side, that she
would be sensible, though disappoint-
ed, and smile, as if she never cared
a snap to go?
With unmarried girls, as well as
married ones, popular pleasures now
and then are the sum and life of
their existence. One may be engaged,
or wed to the best man the whole
wide world holds, yet her happiness
will be increased tenfold if she has
some good times and happy meet
ings, mingling with those whom she
knows will be among the merry-go-
ers. After a betrothed girl, having
a little misunderstanding with very
exacting lover, when he pronounces
the girl a firt for going to some
place of amusement with a male
cousin, or a dear girl-chum and her
escort, if it is impossible for her be-
trothed lover to take her, feels that
| her one CLEAN of joy is merged into
watching and waiting for his coming
usually on Sunday evenings. They
walk out, arm in arm, and hear the
quiet church bells ring; return home
} after listening to an hours sermon
on duty.
No girl who has plighted her trott
: need fear to be thought less loyal
loving, true or dutiful, if some one
time or so she passes an hour rightly
among friends, when they have al
) ways been a comfort to her, and she
ray of sunshine in their midst. En-
gagged couples who cannot be together
often should consider that it is jus
to enquire whether, once in while
the one at home should have recrea
ton in the watch-care of some trusty
company.
: Never would that privilege lesser
!, the love of faithful heart. Always
