DING GR|NNE[L COLLEGE

Henry Petersen, son of Mr..
and Mrs H. P. Petersen of the
Big Department Store, started for
Grinnell College Saturday morn
ing to be ready at the tap of the
bell Monday morning.
Henry has so applied himself
to his studies as to be able to
meet all the requirements of our
High School from which he grad
uated with honor to himself, his
teachers and his parents.
The knowledge which he further
seeks will fit him for any avoca-

will be no lost time with that
young man. He was raised behind
the counter where he received the
practical part of a good business
training.
His father being one of our pro-

watched his training to the present
time.
We trust there will be no dew
iation from the path laid down for
his future.

GREENWALD7
AND GROTELuSCHEN

While in Coon Rapids last Sun
day we CHANGED to meet two of
our former townsmen of the town

Groteluschen. Mr.. Groteluschen had
driven over from Gray that morn

old business partner, Cashier Green

For an hour or more we talked
over old times with the pleasures
and the experiences of that little
city's life.
Mr.. Groteluschen of the firm of
Groteluschen and Garmire is still
the leading hardware merchant OF
Audubon County with a large field
to cover with his skilled workman

elected as Cashier of one of the

CITY AND COUNTRY

The rush of the crowded city
seems fierce to the rural clown
and he thinks it a beastly pity
that people must live in town, to
toll DER the pave of granite, hem
med in by the walls of brick,
while over this sunlit planet the
roses are growing thick. Gee
whiz," cries the rustic stranger
chow luckless the ones who dwell
in town, in the midst of danger
confusion and roar and smell. I'll
flee from this blare and rattle, a
way to that farm of mine, and
flirt with the Holstein cattle and
play with the Berkshire swine.
And when from the road and riot
the dweller in town repairs, tc
rest in the country's quiet, and
breathe unpolluted airs, he's filled
in a day with longing for racket
and blare and strife, for streets
where the crowds are thronging
he cusses the rural life. THE
man." says the city dweller.' .who
travels from towns a boob; pity
the country feller. I pity the hay
seed rube.' The town for the man
who likes it, the town with it's light
and song; the farm for the man
who hikes it with glee down his
burrows long.-Walt Mason.

WHO WAS It?

Wednesday evening quite an ex-
cite ment was created at Orient by
man from Extra driving his car
into telephone pole in the south
part of town. The front of the
machine was broken to some ex-
tent and he being bruised about
the face drawing blood. He cyl
dently had visited some town that
had not gone dry. The town Off
GERS took him in charge for the
night, then he was taken to Green
field where he was turned at liber-
ty. But little was learned about
him at this place. Another case

road. The action comes while the
citizens living near the road be-
tween Elkhorn and Kimballton are
in the midst of campaign in
which they seek to raise by a
voluntary tax of per cent the
sum of $4,000 with which to buy
new rails and ties and pay $3000.-
90 interests on the bonds of the
road which was due Sept l.
In his petition Mr. Rattenberg set
forth the fact that che is holding
$4,000, worth of the first mortgage
bonds of the road, that the road
is unable to pay it's interest, and
that it has been mismanaged and
neglected and the property allow
ed to deteriorate, thus damaging
the security and lessening the val
ue of the bonds.
He asks that receiver be ap-
pointed and that a foreclosure OF
the road be declared.
MT. RattenDerg was at one time
president of the road. Then every
thing looked flourishing and the
road appeared to be good invest
ment.
The decay of the ties and the
rotting of the bridges, forces a
reconstruction with new material,
for public safety, which items cost
more money than the earning of the
road does supply.

Mating is always a good selection for

not be of so pronounced a character as to
detract from the beauty of the rugs. A

straw covering is of one plain color it
is best.
Rugs should be placed with regard

a room is of a size to permit of a big
