It would seem that the experiments
of Mr.. A. w. Brabham, which have
met with considerable success, in the
production of colored cotton are OF
great Importance. If we understand
the matter, the coloring that is used
IN printed cotton goods is great cost
to the manufacturers. If cotton can
be made to produce in various colors,
this would appear to reduce greatly
the cost of producing colored cotton
goods. Mr.. Brabham has already
produced several >tints with his ex-
periments, and feels confident that
there are great possibilities in thus
Burbanking the cotton staple.

SLAVES TO COST MORE.
DecCrah BARRIERS Have Adopted New
Schedule Prices Effective
March LIST.

Patrons Of the DEBORAH barber
shops who have been having their
whiskers removed for ten cents in
the past will have to dig down for
another nickel after March 1st, as IN
that date the local BARRIERS will de-
mand 10 cents for shave. Hair
cuts remain the same, % cents.
The BARRIERS of DEBORAH have been
long time coming to the raise, and
with the "highcostofliving" soaring
higher, instead of coming down, they
have finally come to the parting of
the ways with the old prices. Under
the circumstances we guess they are
entitled to it, and we hope they won't
encounter many customers like the
following:

time in my life was the surprising
announcement OF a man in Abraham
Hindin's tonsorial parlors.
He said he was Morton Smith of
Harrington. He had a fine, long,
luXuriant beard, snow white, and rs
the BARRIERS hand deftly glided over
his face he continued:
Yes, this is the first time a razor
has ever touched my face, and it is

|solicitous barber.
Smith did not know whether it did
or not.
After the operation he remarked
that he felt much better and intend
ed to have another within the next
thirty or forty years"
The BARRIERS have made up a list
of new prices, rules, regulations,
etc. to govern the operation of their
shops in the future, which will be

Event at Home in
Sioux City,

The many old DEBORAH friends OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Hutchinson. OF
Sioux City, extend congratulations
to this venerable couple on the ceIe.
bration Of their fifty-ninth wedding
anniversary on Jan. 20. Mr.. Hutch
inson conducted bakery in Decor
all years ago, and was one of the
first men in Iowa to make crackers.
We take the following from the
Sioux City Journal:
In their home, at 1928 Twenty
first street, which they have occr-
pied for the twenty years they have
lived in Sioux City, Mr.. and Mrs.
Joseph Hutchinson today will cele-
brate the fifty-ninth anniversary of
their marriage. Both Mr.. and Mrs.
Hutchinson are 50 years old
Mr.. and Mrs. Hutchinson were
married in Blairsville Pa, January
20, 1856. After their marriage they
lived at Elgin, H., for a year and
then moved to DEBORAH, Ia, where
they made their home for thirty
years. In 1887 they moved to Sioux
City. and have since made their
home here.
When Mr.. Hutchinson moved to
Sioux City he engaged in the crush
ed stone business. He supplied most
of the stone used in the large build
ings that were put up along Fourth
street during the boom times. H.
also supplied the stone which was
used in the Northwestern railroad
bridge across the Missouri river. Mr.
Hutchinson was actively engaged in
business until about six years ago,
when an accident disabled him and
forced him to retire.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hutchinson are the
great grandparents of three children.
They have twenty-three grandchiI-
dren. Eight of the ten children of
Mr.. and Mrs. Hutchinson are living.
All of the six boys of the family are

Lost Valuable Horse.

DEBORAH FIRM BRANCHING OUT
Woldum Produce Co. Will Oeen
Branch House at West Union.

Fl. III. Woldum, manager Of the
Woldum Produce Co. of DEBORAH,
went to West Union last week and
made arrangements to open
branch house at that place. This
popular firm is growing rapidly and
increasing their business each year.
The following is taken from the West
Union Argo:
"Mr. Woldum, one of the WOldum
brothers who are proprietors of De-
corah's produce house, that .of the
Woldum Co., was in West Union on
Thursday, accompanied by an EN-
ploye, Mr.. Olson. They were here
preparing to establish branch
house. The Woldums set up their
business in DEBORAH in 1905 with
total export of eight cars year. We
have seen their recommendations
from some of the bankers and other
leading business men of DEBORAH,
and nudge that it would be almost

high praise from their local business
associates unless their business me-
thods were of the gilt edge kind.
West Union may we'll feel fortunate
to have such concern locate buy
ing station here. The magnitude OF
the poultry, egg, and produce busi-
ness is growing each year, and sever
al good firms can find room in TINS
city, which is reaching to a wider
market all the time.
The branch house of the Woldum
Co. is likely to be in charge OF Mr..
Olson. The location is not decided,
but it is likely that the firm will build
a produce depot on the right of way
of one of the railroads.

LIGHTS THAT HELP TO KEEP THE YOUNG.
STEERS AT HOME.

Do you want to know how to keep your boy and
girl at home nights, instead Of chasing away as
soon as supper is over? Ill tell you how-light
up the whole house from cellar to garnet. Don't
confine your light to the kitchen or back sitting
room. Put on a light on the front porch and one
In the parlor. Light up the whole house."
This idea was sprung by Byron w. King re
Gently. King Is one Of the recognized town build.
ing experts of the country and noted Chau-
tauqua lecturer. One often hears remarks about
the home town being dull-"slow." There is "no
place 10 go" and nothing TO do" The nearest
large cities attract throngs from the home town,
and II seems that every time anyone wants TO
have a particularly exciting and good time he
buys n railroad ticket.
/ The home and the town are interposed In this
way because the two are In the same position as
regards the faultfinders. That's why King ad.
vises to turn on the light. Light attracts. II
has wonderful, magnetic power. Well lighted
streets are always thronged. while the poorly
lighted thoroughfares are almost deserted.
i The bright lights" made Broadway. That il
one reason why ornamental lights are such good
things for small towns. Brilliant illumination
enhances community's regard Of itself. They
put vim into everybody. They lead TO other i'm
provements.
There ISN'T single town. on the map which
after having put in ornamental lights ever die
away with them. They don't want TO- II would
be foolish. And town that hasn't got then

UNCLE SAM MUCH BEHIND OTHER POR
TONS OF CIVILIZED WORLD.

There'w in the United States last year D.
100000 miles of public roads only 10 per cent of
which are classed as improved roads," Last
year the expenditures on account of road con-
struction, including the estimated value of con-
Wet labor, made by states, counties. precincts
and districts aggregated about 1926, 900, 00O
Ten years ago the expenditures on this account
amounted to approximately $79,000,000, and the
difference between these two sums shows that
there has been great advance in the demand for
improved public highways. But with 80 per cent
of the roads of the country over which the peo-
pie travel and do business, unimproved IL is clear
that so far the surface has scarcely been scratch
ed In the German empire in Europe, which
covers less territory than the single American
state Of Texas, there are thirty-six thousand
miles Of state road and in Prussia alone the an
nual expenditure on the public roads amounts to
S35, 100000. In England and Wales, less in area
than the state of Florida, there are 150,90S miles
of public roads, Of which 1886 miles are what
are called main roads," and 1230S2 miles are
included under the designation "other than main
roads," Five years ago the local authorities in
England and Wales expended on these roads
not including loans which amounted TO $780,
964-$32, $4,000. In Florida, according TO the
latest available information, there are seventeen
hundred and fifty-two miles of what are called
improved roads," However odious comparisons
may be, they are very useful at times TO show
how far behind the rest of the civilized world
the United States are in taking care of the most
important economic problem with which they
must deal IL the immense resources of the coun-
try are 10 be developed.
