LUTHER WINS ANOTHER.
Stout Institute Went Down to Defeat
at the Luther Auditorium on
Monday Night by the
Score of 21 to 13.

On last Monday night the Stout
Institute quint came to Decorah with
the intention Of defeating Luther.
Although they put up a good strong
fight for the honor, they failed in
their attempt. They were manly,
muscular looking lot of young men
and played nice, clean basket bail
throughout, displaying that they
were no yearlings at the game.
At eight o'clock, Referee r. Selnes
called the game. Both teams started
in with the intention of winning at
the start. The game continued in
q fast and furious manner through
out the first half The Stout quint
showed better team work in this half
than Luther, but they tried to work
the ball too close before trying to
cage it. Several times they had open
chances to "shoot" but didn't do it,
which left the impression that they
were not very good in shooting bas-
kets. Luther showed excellent work
in guarding, and shot several bas-
kets from the center of the floor,
and at the end of the first half the
score stood II to in favor of Luth-
er
The second half started in the
same fast and furious manner and
held the crowd spellbound for sew
eral minutes, neither side being able
to cage the ball. But at last Luth-
er changed the situation by shooting
enough baskets to give them the
long end of the score. Luther's team
work was superior to that of Stout in
this half. The game ended by the
score of 21 to Is in Luther's favor.
A picked up band furnished music
before the game and between halfs,
while the students exercised their
lungs with some of their favorite col
llege yells. 1t was an ideal night,
and the game was witnessed by a
fair-sized crowd.

JAMES CARR DEAD.
Well Known Pioneer Resident
Passed Away This Morning.

James Carr passed away at his
home in this city this Wednesday
morning at 1880 o'clock, after a
years illness from hardening of the
arteries.
Mr.. Carr was born in November,
1885 in county Donegal, Ireland. In
1853 he came to America, locating
at Boston, Mass. In 1865 he moved
to Lansing, Iowa, and in 1857
moved to Lansing, Iowa adm in 1861
came to Winneshiek county, and To-
Gated on a farm a short distance
north of Decorah where the family
home had been until five years ago,
when they moved to Decorah to re-
side.
In the year 1860 at Boston the
deceased was united in marriage to
Ellen Flynn. Eight children were
born to the union. One daughter,
Mrs. Mary Rastetter, passed away
several years ago. The surviving chii-
dren are Mrs. Ella Wilson, Bonners
Ferry, Idaho; Mrs. Margaret Bechel,
ST. Paul, Mimi; and Mrs. Gertrude
Peters, of Sioux Falls, S. d. The
bereaved wife and mother also sur
wives. Four children died in infan-
cy, Katharine, Agnes, Anne and
Thomas. He is survived by eight
grand children.
In the passing of this we'll known
pioneer Decorah and Winneshiek
county loses another we'll known citi-
zen. He was a man who always took
an intelligent interest in communit}
affairs, and was one of our able and
conscientious citizens. He was we'll
and favorably known during his lons
life here and his life and character
was such as to win for him the warm
and lasting regard Of all with whom
he was brought in contact. The be,
reaved family have the sympathy oi
all in their loss of this kind and low
ing husband and father.

tional campaign in behalf of ade-
quate national defense which has
done so much toward the awakening
of the American people to the dang
er CT their undefended condition.
The Navy League is not in any
sense a militarist organization. Since
it's foundation more than fourteen
years ago it has been foremost in the
work for international peace. Its
president, General Horace Porter
was twice delegate to the Worlds
Peace Conference at the Hague, and
in all its actions and utterances the
League has worked for and adyoCat-
ed peace, BUT until such a time as
the possibility of war is reduced to
much below it's present ratio it be-
lieves that it would be just as unwise
for the United States to allow its
navy to deteriorate as it would be for
& householder to allow his fire insur-
ance policy to lapse because he dis
of fires and hoped there
would be no more of them.
The Navy League holds that this
country's best defense lies in the
three thousand or more miles of wat
er which separate it from the nearest
of it's powerful neighbors. Should
war ever be forced upon this country,
the Navy League holds, its battles
ought not to be fought by armies on
American soil, but by trained fight
ing men in ships, far out on the
ocean where destruction of life and
property will be kept to minimum,
and the savage business of killing
will be kept as far as possible from
Americas homes and shores.
To this end it has always advo-
Gated navy second to none, which
will be able to guarantee absolutely
that no hostile army will be able
ever to effect a landing upon the
shores of our country, and in this
demand it believes it is backed by
unanimous public opinion all over
the country. The most effective tes'
timony to the popularity of the cause
of the Navy League with represent
ative citizens all over the country Ii
the manner in which its membership
has increased by leaps and bounds
within the past few months until "a
present it numbers upon it's roll:
more than $4,000 members.
The Navy League is the oldest anC

WINS G.. o. Z. CONVEN-
TiON.
Will Meet June =, One Week in Ad-
vance of Democratic
Gathering.

Chicago has been selected by the
republican national committee as the
meeting place of the 1916 republi-
can national convention to be held
June I, one week before the demo-
cratic convention in st. Louis.
Earlier in the day of the meeting
the committee had determined on the
date for the convention, much dis
cussed problem with sentiment Tor
and against meeting before the
democrats pretty evenly divided. The
decision was reached without roll
call and some said record vote
might have brought different re-
suit. Advocates for an early con-
vention urged that now was the time
for the republican party to take the
offensive against it's political enc
meis without regard to an ancient
custom of allowing the party in pow
er to meet first and announce its
candidates and principles. 1t was
urged that the party should not con-
slider a defensive campaign, but
should blaze the trail and give its
story to the country first without
waiting to see what the democrats
intended to do.
The republican fight will be waged
on a few plain principles-defense
of American commerce and industry
and defense of American lives. One
of the points of attack will be that
the democratic party in congress had
not stood for an adequate plan of
preparedness until events across the
Atlantic forced them to change their
position.

MARCH | FARM DEALS
PROMISE TO Be FEWER
Bankers Feel Below Normal Call OF
Fern Purchase Money.
sHoTR te Rop is,
HOWE ~ton NJ THE CAUSE
lopinion of Bankers H. ps "op Has
Comparatively Little 9n
Movement of Lands-HabA of
Closing Sales on Dates Other
Than March 1 Is Important
Factor.

That the movement of farm lands
this winter and March 1 perhaps will
lbe somewhat under the normal
lamount in volume, but that the par
Itial failure of the corn crop has had
very little effect in lessening the
number of farm sales, is the opinion
of bankers and abstracters. Bankers
say that the inquiries for loans to
handle farm transactions seem to
be fewer than usual for deals to be
closed March /.
The most logical explanation given
by bankers for the seeming falling
off in prospective farm transactions
for March l is that more and more
of these transactions are being ne
gotiated and closed at the time they
are made.
In fact the banks in recent years
have grown more and more to dis
courage the holding off and closing
of farm purchases only on March l..
The banks are encouraging the clos
ing of such deals at the time they
are made. The reason for this is that
the habit of closing sales and pur-
\ chases March l punched so much
business into one day that the banks
were we'll nigh swamped with the
business.
In years past it was the habit of
buyer and seller to postpone the final
negotiations of sales and purchases
until March L. Now more of them
are being closed at other times, the
BANNERS Say, AMI oiliy the giving OF
possession is now often delayed un-
til March l,
1t develops that the unusual de-
mand for money from farmers, that
has forced all of the banks to borrow
from eastern city banks, has not been
to finance farm sales. To be sure,
some of it has been used for such
purposes, DuJ SOOu uSdl VI IL AaS
been loaned to farmers to buy steers
and hogs to which may be fed the
| seasons corn crop. The demand for
money has been very brisk perhaps
more so than usual, and has been
easy to get on the right kind ot
loans.
The banks have found the money
market in the east easy, and in fact
solicitors OF large eastern banks
have been calling on local bankers of
fering them money from their idle
surplus.
Some of the bankers say that mo-
ney loaned farmers for feeding pur
poses is beginning to be returned
as farmers are marketing the live
stock the borrowed money bought

GREAT OPERA COMPANY
COMING TO DEBORAH
De Koven Opera Company to Present
robin Hood" on January
18th at the Grand.
BEST BIG ATTRACTION
EVER BOOKED
Company Includes Some of the Lead
ing Stars of the Musical Stage
and Special Orchestra

The grea5 interest taken by the
musical public last season in the
elaborate production of Robin
Hood" is an answer to the charge
that the taste for fine comic opera
has been debased by trashy musical
comedy. The truth is that the de-
mand is as keen as ever for geod
music of the lighter order, and such
entertainment, when presented prop
erly, will always be literally patron
lied by the large class of music low
ers who enjoy the best in comic
opera. During the long run of
Robin Hood" in New York, the
opera was witnessed by thousands
of the older generation who had
seen the original production by the
old Bostonians, 23 years ago, and
their apparent enjoyment of the de-
lightful melodies and clever dialogue
was ample proof that the best in
American comic opera will always be
appreciated. To the younger genera
ton the melodic charm Of Mr.. De
Koven's music made fresh appeal
to their musical taste which was in
spring.
Encouraged by the financial re
turns of the New York engagement,
the De Koven Opera Company is this
year making a longer tour and the
company will be seen here at Decor
ah Grand Opera House, Thursday
evening, Jan. 18th.
The musical qualities of such
comic opera as Robin Hood re-
l1uire the services of the best sing
ers, and voices of the finest calibre
were employed last season to inter-
pret the score. The same company
is now on tour, and with few eXcep-
tions the cast remains as during the
New York engagement. Ivy Scott,
soprano from the Century Grand
opera, New York, will sing the part
of Maid Marian. Miss Scott posses
ses a lovely voice of dramatic quail
ity, and her art in using it is equal
to the eXactiing demands of De Kov-
ems masterpiece. Ralph Brainard
will be heard in the title role of Rob-
in Hood. a part which his ringing
| tapor ypica and handsome aDnear-
ance make him an ideal OUTLAW, VIM.
Schuster will be seen as the jolly old
Friar Tuck, and Cora Tracy, a cele-
brated contralto, will be heard as
Alan-a-Dale, in which she is wor-
thy successor to the late Jessie
Bartlett Davis. Seat sale will COM
mence Monday, January 3rd, at E..

SIanting at the results of the three
interleague series played this season
between American and National rep
resentatives, it is unquestionably the
year of the former organization.
First, of course, comes the worlds
series. Five games were played and
the American league champions won
four to one from their rivals. Next in
importance and worth of the teams
engaged, was the Chicago city
series. Here also the American
leaguers won four games out of five.
Last comes the city tilt of st. Louis,
where the Browns, entrants of the
American, smeared four victories to
one for the Cardinals, one game re-
sulting in tie.
Jumping the 10 games played, we
find the American victories in II
starts, three wins going to the Ma
tional and one being tie. And in
every series the club from the young
er organization completely overshad-
owed in every department of defense
and attack its rival from the Tener
circuit.

ting more timely and the fielding
more certain and competent in keep
ing runs from the plate. This was

NATIONAL SOCIALIST
COMMITTEE MEETS

CHICAGO, May 10.-Big party prob
lens are under discussion at the an
nual meeting OF the Socialist party
national committee, which began in
this city Sunday, May 9th. This
meeting was preceded by meetings Of
the national executive committee and
the woman's national committee.
This committee meeting will see
the first plans made for the 1916
Socialist presidential campaign, be-
cause 1t is felt that 1t will be too
late to leave the initial work for the
national convention to be held In 1916,
the time and place to be determined
at this national committee meeting
Extensive reports have already been
prepared for presentation to this com
mittee on all national party activities
during the past year. The war prob
lem will, no doubt, arouse an eager
discussion in an attempt to determine
the attitude to be taken by the Social
list party in the present war crisis,
both as 1t affects the working class
Of the United States and the world.
An extensive report on the liquor
problem has been prepared and will
also be presented.
