wINNEsHIEK COUNTY,
THE NEW FOURTH.

How can 1 best serve my country
in her present crises? This question
is now uppermost in every patriot s
mind. 1t is the keynote to this
Fourth's observance.
Not noise and buster, with its ac-
cidental deaths and injuries, but
genuine patriotism, is the call of the
hour. Not cheap talk about click
ing Mexico into -shape and straight
ening out Europe" but readiness to
help our President and our country
in all righteous effort toward world
peace. Not loud advocacy of world
power, but earnestness in behalf Of
world service. Not how we may ben
eft selfishly by other nations mis-
fortunes, but how may we cooperate
with them for mutual benefit to all
concerned in the present and for the
future.
In the new era which now con-
fronts the world, the strength and
dignity of the United States as a ma
tion may be shown best by our poise
as people. July is the ripe occa-
sion for expressing these aspirations.
Just as each day is the day for
each of us to do we'll our part, how
ever small, in the daily work and
pleasure and service which collec-
lively are making America greatest
in wisdom, education, agriculture
and industry-more than ever the
savior of civilization.
Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1915-06-30

July gets it's name from the Lat
in Julius" given it long time ago
by the Romans who named the
month for Caius Julius Caesar. But
then nobody cares anything about
where its name came from. The nat
ural wonder is, where does it get
it's heat?
When July turns the sunshine on,
there's something doing everywhere.
1t seems we'll surely melt away and
disappear into the air. 1t puts
blister on the neck and plasters
freckles o'er the face until we feel
we surely must look little else than
"a disgrace. We look upon the
clothes we wear and wonder why tbs
so discreed we can't discard the
whole shebang and from their prick
ly heat be freed.
July, too is the month of picnics.
A picnic is an excursion into the
woods, where we feed ourselves to
the ants, chigres and mosquitoes. If
it were not for picnic parties these
insects might be exterminated with
in a few years. Picnics, too, bring
rains when all things. else fail.
Whenever a community feels itself
drying up all it needs do is to plan
"a big picnic. 1t will invariably bring
a rain with it.
The first few days of July are
looked upon with apprehension by
all parents of boys, but if they re-
main parents after the first four days
the suspense is alleyiated and they
pay no more attention to him until
the next Fourth rolls around. The
movement for Sane Fourth" Is
gaining favor every year and its
promoters now have only to start
another movement for sane parents,
when the nations birthdays will
pass off as quietly as a deaf and
dumb pairs wedding.

TRIBUTE TO L. C. BAND.
Band Given Great Reception at San.
TIA Barbara, Cal.

A fine tribute is paid the Luther
college band by the Daily News of
Santa Barabra, Calf, where the
band played concert June Is under
the auspices of the Santa Barbara
Lutheran church, Rev. H. M. Tier
nagel, pastor. ut was more than a
treat. 1t was revelation says the
paper in concluding it's editorial
comment.
Commenting more in detail, the
paper says, in part:
''The band, composed as it is, Of
students Of the Luther college at
Decorah, Ia, Is musical sensation.
How college, even one where mu-
sic is made major speciality, can
produce such a finished musical or
ganization solely from it's students,
is not evident at this far distance
Certainly no other college east or
west does; and we doubt very much
the ability of any other college to
do so. Though this musical organi-
zation consists of young men of stu
dent age-some of the members are
the veriest boys-so far as musical
accomplishment counts, it compares
favorably with bands of national re-
putation, those of Creatore and Sou
sa. Indeed so finished is it's product,
that with professional bands of ma
tional reputation, there and no.
where else, may it be classed. This
precocious excellence is not under
standable, save by conceding at the
outset that Carlo A. Sperati, it's di-
rector, is a band magician.
"The program offered last night
by Santa Barbara's young visitors
was limited to six regular numbers.
With those six numbers, however, all
world masterpieces, the band dis
closed not alone its thorough train
ing but its complete ability to cope
with heroic music. 1t needed not the
further glance at its formidable re-
pertoire to establish its prestige"

these days of progress, usually pre-
sents something new, and the Hugo

ment that when you see one cir
Gus you see them ALL" They prom
ise to go them all one better" in
the presentation of their arenic per-
formance. There will be whole fam
lilies of funny simians, many of them
possessors of decided historic abil-
ity, elephants with almost human
knowledge, whose comical stunts
under canvas serve to add variety
and thrills to an already delightful
performance. In addition to the
scores of animal actors, which in
clude Ray Tnompson's wonderful

there will be presented innumerable

Those Harvest Hands Again.

The usual boassful appeal for
harvest hands is being sent out from
Oklahoma. That state claims to
want 5000 men to help save the big
wheat crop which is now ready for
harvest, says the Iowa Farmer. Now,
Kansas should go Oklahoma one bet
ter and advertise for $4,000 men. It's
a way they have down in that coun-
try of advertising. The probabilities
are that they have all the men they
will need and then some right at
home, but it sounds big to publish to
the world their inability to care for
the ple.horic grain yield. A lot OF
Heaters are deceived by the cry
for help and take the bumpers on the
first freight that comes along. BY
the time they reach the harvest fields
the grain will all have been harvest
ed and several thousand sons of toll
will be going up and down the coun-
Try III S6dTCH VI DICdu. LII thCoS
days of improved machinery harvest
is not very serious matter. 1t was
a Kansas farmer who said that In
the early days he sat upon the fence
and watched thirty men harvest his
big grain crop, but now, with i'm
proved machinery, he harvests his
own crop and thirty men sit on the
fence and watch him do it. The work
requires so little time that 1t Is all
foolishness to advertise for men to
make a journey half way across the
continent, because the work Will
have been completed before they get
there, or they will have to be taken
care of If they arrive before grain
cutting begins. The whole scheme is
to attract attention to the southwest,
featured, no doubt, by lot OF husky
real estate agents.

Unlawful to Sell Amy Toy Pistol

Possibly this section from the
Iowa state laws will be of benefit to
some of our dealers and will also ex-
plain to the youngsters why no cap
or other toy pistols are for sale
mo person shall knowingly sell,
present, or give any pistol, revolver,
or toy pistol to any minor" The
penalty for violation is a fine Of
from s25 to 500 or ten to thirty
days Imprisonment.
mo person shall use, sell, offer
for sale, or keep for sale within this
state any toy pistols, toy revolvers,
caps containing dynamite, blank
cartridges for toy revolvers or toy
pistols, or fire crackers more than
five inches long and more than three
fourths Of an inch in diameter, pro-
yiding however, that caps containing
dynamite may be used, kept for sale
or sold when needed for mining pur-
poses or for danger signals or for
other necessary uses"

PETTY BUSINESS DISHONESTY.
Every Business Firm Should Realize
it is Miserable Policy for En-
plOyes to Falsify.

A friend, speaking the other day
of his visit to a certain city, remark
ed incidentally that he spent an
evening on trip to a noted amuse-
ment park. He was led to take the
trip, which was one of some dis
tance, by hearing that certain ia
nous band was playing there. He
asked an agent of the park company
at the city terminal, if the band
played a concert that evening. The
agent said yes. Arrived at the park,
he found the band never played eve-
nings. The agent had simply be-
lieved it good policy to lie to save
one fare.
1t is significant that the traveller,
on looking up the advertisements of
the park, found that they merely ad-
vertised day time concerts. This
shows incidentally how much more
truthful advertising is than the
word of individual employees. If an
employe fibs, it is easy to explain
it on the ground that he did not un-
derstand. A false advertisement caz
not thus be explained away.
1t is a satisfaction to observe
that the Associated Advertising
clubs, in their convention at Chi
cago, have again given great promi
nence to the idea of the necessity of
truthful advertising. If there is i
yellow streak of Misrepresentation
running through day by day busi-
ness, it is much less present in ad-
vertising.
There is an old saw from the
playground, "Cheatee, cheatee, ney-
er beatee." Every business firm
should realize what a miserable pol
icy it is for employees to falsify. That
man who was disappointed on his
band concert probably has told a
dozen people how he was fooled.
The incident was slight one, Yet
people who heard it would reach the
conclusion that the resort was a
fake that did not live up to its
Agreements.
1t is not enough for corporations
and business men to condemn dis
honest statements on the part of
their employees when they learn OF
them. They should also warn them
in advance of the irritation and
hostility that such methods cause in
the public mind.

Showing Your COlOrs.

In our travels about the country,
from Seattle to Boston, from st.
Paul to New Orleans, we have seen
only one farm flag pole. That graced
the lawn of a Louisiana farm home
and from it Old Glory is flung to
tie breeze daily. 1t looked good'
says the Editor of Farm and Home.
We would like to see thousands like
it. It's a wholesome thing, especi-
ally in trying times like the pres
ent, to remind yourself and notify
others of your heritage Of American
citizenship. Why not have family
flag same as a family Bible?

Good Citizens and Citizens.

We can not help admiring the
men and women who place the well
fare of the community side. by side
with their own. To our mind they
are good citizens, and the town or
countryside is blessed by their pres
ence. We have such citizens-many
of hem-hereabouts, and you find
them always giving the local busi-
ness man the benefit of the doubt,
the first opportunity of making
sale. If the local dealer has the
article they want at fair price they
prefer to buy from him, knowing
full we'll that in buying from him
they are enhancing the welfare of
themselves, the dealer, and the
whole community. They are con-
stant readers of the advertisements
in the local paper, and because of
this practice they know where best
to find that which they seek before
they go out to buy. And then there
are some citizens who are not of
this class, who make regular prac-
tice of getting stung by sending
their cash to the foreign dealer who
values their money and not them.
They are citizens, too, but not as
good as the good citizen.

The country is being filled with
compulsory laws, travelling inspec-
tors and specialists, but so far no
provision has been made for the
loafer and the fellow with no visa
BILE means of support, says the
Charles City Citizen. The state
provides instruction for the proper
care of babies and compels the
youngsters to go to school, but at
an early age he or she is turned
loose with incompetent parents in
many cases when they too often be-
come indolent, shiftless, perverts
and criminals, and much of this
could be cut out If there was some
official whose duty it was to round
them up, make them give an ac-
count of themselves and force them
to become good citizens. There are
too many able-bodied men who live
from hand to mouth during the
summer months and proceed to live
off the county and charity during
the winter time. Here is chance
for some embryo statesman to get
busy.
