The Best in Marble and Granite Monu
ments at Reasonable Price.

If you wanted pair of shoes made
to your order you wouldn't place your
order at shoe store unless the mer-
chant had practical and competent
shoemaker and knew when you were
getting sheep skin or calf. 1t is the
quality of the leather that makes the
shoe wear.
Why shouldn't you use the same
judgment in placing your order for
Monument or Cemetery work as in
buying pair of shoes.
My many years in the monument
business and as workman enables me
to distinguish the difference in the ma
terial and workmanship in monument
that many who are in the business can
not 1 have made study of the differ
ent kinds of GRANTEES and the different
workmanship, SO am able to tell when
an inferior grade is used.
If you buy monument of Barre or
Quincy or any Of the better grades OF
me, nothing but the kind of granite
your work calls for goes in the work.
No substitutes go here. My stock is
complete and you will find many new
and beautiful designs here in the differ
ent kinds of granite, and the price will
surprise you when you come to look at
them. 1t would be to our mutual in
terest for you to call and look them
over at the first opportunity, If not
convenient for you to call, write or
phone me and l will call on you. Why
not save agents commission, as | en-
ploy no agents. Now is the time to
place your order for this fall or spring
as there is certain to be raise March
LIST, 1916. The monumentsI have were
bought before the raise in prices May
LIST, 1915, so l am able to give you good
work at low prices.
l have the monuments, you have the
money. Your loved one needs monu-
ment, l need the money, so lets get
together and see what we can do.

Valdez College, DEBORAH, Iowa.

Is the school for eighth grade gradu-
stes of rural schools, eighth grade gradu-
ates of city schools and pupils who have
completed the first year in a high
school and find themselves unable to
carry the work; or perhaps they have
decided to take work that leads to a
a practical education.
1t offers three months course, a
six months course, and a one-year's
course in the Common English branch
es, which are preparatory to the taking
of the three new subjects; viz, Domes-
tic Science, Manual Training and Agri-
culture.
Graduates from rural schools will find
Valdez Normal School an ideal place to
thoroughly qualify in Common English.
A years work will enable rural grad
uate to become efficient and will secure
for him solid foundation for advance
work if desired. 1t will also equip him
to carry first-year high school work.
Those who wish to take the CONNER
cial or the shorthand course, with the
view of entering upon business career,
will thus be prepared to enter upon
these courses with a sound foundation
in the preliminary branches.
'It is estimated that AZ per cent. of
total enrollments in high schools are
frst-year pupils. This drops to 20 per
cent. in the second year. In other
words, almost one-half of the high
school students leave school after the
first year. Will you be one of them?
Many are graduates from rural
schools who are unable to carry the
work, as there is clearly difference of
two years in the scholarship of rural
graduates compared with graduates
from the eighth grade of an accredited
city school, With the foregoing fact
in view, Valdez College now offers a
a choice of several courses that are
within the capacity of all pupils who
have abandoned the high school.
Valdez Normal School is essentially
an English Training School preparatory
for teachers and student-teachers as
well as for all who may need education
al training in the foundations of gen.
eral education and more particularly in
correct English preparatory for either
the commercial or the shorthand course.

The Editor Favored by the Gods.

Consider the editor. He weareth pur

Lo! All the people breaketh thei1
necks to hand him money. A child j!
born unto the wife of merchant in the
bazaar. The physician getteth his ter
golden plunks. The editor writeth {
stick and half and telleth the multi
tude that the child tippeth the beam al
nine pounds. Yea, he lieth even as
centurion. And the proud father Civ.
eth him a chrome
Behold the young groweth up and
praduateth. And the editor putteth
into his paper swell notice. Yea a
peach of notice. He telleth of the
wisdom of the young woman, and OF
her exceeding comliness. Like unto
the, roses of Sharon is she and her gown
is praised up to beat the band. And
the dressmaker getteth two score and
four iron men. And the editor getteth
a note of thanks from the S. G. G.
The daughter goeth a journey, and
the editor throweth himself on the story
of the farewell party. 1t runneth COL
umn, solid. And the fair one remem-
bereth him from afar with a postal
card that costeth six for a jitney.
Behold she returneth and the young
of the city fall down and worship her.
She pickett one and Lo, she pickett
lemon. But the editor called him one
Of our most promising young men and
getteth away with it. And they send
up to him bid to the wedding feast
and behold the bids are fashioned by
Montgomery Sawbuck, in far city.
Flowery and long is the wedding no
tice which the editor printeth. The
minister getteth ten bones. The groom
standeth the editor off for a twelve
month subscription.
All flesh is grass and in time the wife
is gathered into the silo. The minister
goeth his bit. The editor death no.
tice, twovcolumns of obituary, three

read proof of the head and the darned
thing comes out "Gone to Her Last

And.all that are akin to the deceased
jumped on the editor with exceeding

Legal ENHANCEMENT Expected.

Recent developments in the death of
Mr.. and Mrs. w. C. Hobart, the Min
neapolis couple that met death on the
Ridgeway road on the 22d ult., indicate
that contest may arise in the admin
istration of their estates. The most
authentic information that can be OBJ
tanned is to the effect that Mrs. Hobart
had about $35, 600 at the time of her
marriage to Mr.. Hobart. In the past
three years this has been increased.
Both had been married previously and
have heirs who will be interested in the
distribution of the property. The ques-
ton of which died first will materially
affect the distribution unless wills are
found when the papers in the estate are
examined. In anticipation of what may
be disclosed attorneys have visited De-
corah during the past week to gather
information on the question. A. K.
Schall was here on Thursday last and on
Friday Mr.. Anderson, representing the
heirs of Mr.. Hobart, was here on the
same errand. Both went to Charles
City to interview MIR. Odds, the banker
who first found Mr.. and Mrs. Hobart
after the accident. DEBORAH Republican

ERROR AT YALE STIRS LABOR,
Recruited for Strikers
Places-StOpped.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. Aug. 26.-Owing
to a misunderstanding by a subordinate
in charge during the vacation period,
the Yale bureau of appointments, where
needy students are assisted to get work,
has been attempting to supply young
men for work at a Bridgeport factory
where there is a strike. This stirred
the wrath of local labor leaders, but
they were appeased to-day when Anson
Phelps Stokes, secretary of the univer-
sity, returned and summarily STONED
the bureaus activity, calling attention
to previous orders that during labor
troubles the college must be neutral.
The American Chain Company OF
bridgeport, appealed TO the bureau for
young men. presumably to take the place
OF strikers, and n subordinate in charge
advertised that men were wanted. Many
undergraduates needing work and pros
pectlve freshmen applied and were given
cards directing them to bridgeport.
