Takes Passionate in Chicago.

Rev. Clarence Haugen, son of X.
l. Haugen, of DEBORAH, who has
held a pastorate in the Lutheran
church at Rochester, Mimi, since
1911 has accepted a call from the
Lakeview congregation of Chicago.
We understand he will take up his
new duties there next month. Rev.
Haugen is a fine young man, and
during his pastorate in Rochester
endeared himself to the members of
his flock, and they were loath to
have him leave. Rev. VIM. Nasset,
son of Prof. and Frs. Nasset of Luz
Their College has been called to take
his place at Rochester. The call to
the Chicago congregation speaks
highly for Rev. Haugen's ability
and effective work in his chosen
field.

Ben Bear Home From Market.

Ben Bear, the square dealing clo-
thier arrived home this morning
from his 10Th semi-annual purchas-
ing trip to New York City. In a con-
versation with Mr.. Bear we con-
Guided he had not been loafing on
the job by any means, and that he
put in a mighty busy time buying
new fall and winter goods, by the
looks of the many big cases of goods
arriving daily. Business in general
in New York is good, especially with
the manufacturers selling war sup
plies. The prices of goods, especi-
ally woolens are at a big advance
this fall, and are by no means cheap
er, and the tendency for higher pri-
ces are noted all along the line.
Mr.. Bear is most fortunately situat-
ed in his buying there, having con-
tracted for goods and paying cash,
enables him to secure the goods
right, and he states that there will
be no advance in his prices over
this spring.

and the Lyric should do an immense
business.

DEBORAH "SPILLED-VILLE."
\ One Sided But Very Interesting
Game Was Played at Spill
Vile Last Sunday.

A game of ball between DEBORAH
and Spillville on the latter's grounds
last Sunday was witnessed by a
large crowd, and resulted in a vic
tory for DEBORAH by the score OF II
to 3.
The score shows rather lop-
sided affair, but it was truly very
Interesting for seven innings.
Spillville started the scoring In
the first inning by slipping one over
home plate, but enjoyed their scarf
lead only one inning, DEBORAH COM
i ing back in the third scoring two
Rastetter started things in the
third with a single to left, Knowl-
ton then drove a hot one to center,
which was too hot for Haug to han
die and advanced Rastetter to third
and Knowlton took second. Kersey,
then came to bat and with his time
~. bingle scored Rastetter and
Knowlton. Marsh was up next and
flied out, retiring the side.
For the next two innings the
players on both sides were retired
in one two three order.
In the fifth Spillville slipped an
other across the plate making the
count two all.
There was nothing doing then UNI
til the first of the eighth, when De-
corah scored 10 runs before Spill
vile could prevent the storm. That
terrible eighth inning rally on the
part of Hogan's men put one in
mind of a real old Kansas City cy-
clone, as base hits were falling
around Spillville boys like the hail
on an Iowa corn field. 1t would be
Impossible for the writer to give the
exact number of hits in this one
inning as the official score keeper
ran out of pencil.
Baker did the twirling for De-
corah for the first five innings, al
lowing only five scattered hits, and
was relieved by Knowlton, who al
lowed only one hit. The receiving
was done by Kersey, who showed
he was capable of holding that po-
sition.
Frank Baker, Decorah's reliable
lumberman, acted as pinch hitter
lin the eighth inning, and was re-
sponsible for two runs. Altho Frank
has kind of retired from the game
he is still there with the big stick.
Following is the lineup:

sunny, congenial disposition, it
was pleasure to know him and
have him for a friend. In his ca
pacity of manager of the Standard
