pened. Death Was Almost
instantaneous.

Last Friday evening about 6:lo
Albert Grinna, a resident of Clay Hill
met his death in an automobile ac-
cident. About $50 he drove into De-
corah on business, which he transact
ed in short time and about six o.
clock started for home, and was
alone in his automobile. The acct
dent occurred about 6:15, just few
rods past the II. w. Haas nome, ana
nobody witnessed it. Mr.. Grinna' 5
car had been giving him a little
trouble of late, and the supposition IS
that in trying to make the steep
grade below the Williams Cliffs the
engine was killed, the brakes refus-
ed to work, and the car ran back-
ward at a terrific gait, running UP
on the embankment on the right side
of the read, and tipped over, throw,

Shipped Eggs io Spokane, Wash.

Rob. Schwartz, of this city. the
well known chicken fancier, who rails
es the famous White Rocks, shipped
a setting of eggs to his brother JUL
us at Spokane, Wash, on April o,
and a letter received the other day
from his brother states that the eggs
arrived o. X. and are all Matched
out, and thirteen lively White Rock
chickens are getting acquainted with
the Washington climate. The setting
contained fifteen eggs. The hen
broke one of the eggs when they were
first placed under her and when they
were Matched she accidentally killed
one of the chicks. The distance the
eggs were shipped is little over 81
900 miles, and the fact that they all
Matched out speaks well for the quail
ity eggs and the chickens Mr.
Schwartz raises.

COMPLIMENTS DEBORAH
SCHOOLS.
Letters Received by Board of EdEca-
ton Speak Highly of the Work
Being Done.

The school board of the DEBORAH
public schools received the following
letters recently, which speak for
themselves, and high compliment
is paid for the good work being done:
Des Moines, Ia.
April 4, 1916.
Mr. G. F. Baker,
DEBORAH, Iowa.
Dear Sir:-As you probably know,
your school was accredited by the
North Central Association of Colleges
and Secondary Schools. / am de-
lighted to tell you this because |
know in detail the work which your
school has been doing and it is a
pleasure for me to congratulate you
upon the good work you have done.
Your superintendent has touched
the vital point in an educational sys-
TEN when she insists upon first-clasS
teachers.
The teacher is the crux of the
whole situation. Without her school
| is worthless. With the mediocre one
| the school is fair, but a first-class
teacher overcomes all other difficult
tiles. She gets at the basis of all
problems, and l feel that your school
| has been unusually fortunate in
keeping up the standards of the
teaching force. You had the right
kind of work The North Central
! Association does not recognize any
Ischool except those that are doing q
very high grade of work. Schools
are continually being dropped from
the list because some part of the
work has been found defective. The
Association does not deal with ques-
tionable schools, and | am glad 70
tell you that your school meets every
standard Of the association.
The Association meets III st. Louis
next year during the week of SIarcE
l2Oth, and many boards of education
Iare sending the superintendent tc
this meeting so that they may become
familiar with the work that is beins
done, and bring back to the SCHOOLS
the latest ideas in regard TO educa
tion. 1t is getting common for boards
ICf education to attend the meeting
either the president or some Other
member of the board. / am callinf
your attention to this, so that yol
may have the matter before you i
you care to get in touch with it in The
future.
Yours truly,
(Signed) p. E. McCLENATAN,

the road, and the car righted itself
again in the ditch.
James Malli, the cigar maker, en-
plcyed by F. j. Helwig, was on his
way home and had reached the twin
bridges, when Mr.. Grinna passed him.
Mr.. Malli had stopped to talk 70
Maurice Halloran for a few minutes,
and then started for home and came
upon Mr.. Grinna lying in the middle
of the road. He was still alive and
was gasping for breath. Mr.. Malli
rushed back to the Haas home, a
short distance away, and reported the
accident and requested the folks TO
telephone for q doctor, which was
done, and he Immediately returned 20
where Mr.. Grinna lay and found him
dead. DR.. Dahl responded TO the
call. Willis & Ness were then noti-
fed and went out with their ambu-
lance and brought the remains 70
their undertaking parlors.
The coroner was out of the city az
the time OF the accident, and Sheriff
lEllingson and County Attorney Houcii
were called, and an investigation was
made, which was conclusive that Mr..
Grinna had come to his death by an
autcmobile accident.
The injuries the unfortunate man
homo
and the left temple was bruised and
there was small hole in it; there
was also a slight cut over the left eye,
and also one on his right hand. 1t is
said that he was a skillful driver, and
had operated the car for the past six
years.
The deceased was born in Glen
wood township July 10, 1870, and
was son of Mr.. and Mrs. EricK
Grinna, pioneers of Washington Prai-
RE. On March /, 1900, he was unit
ed in marriage to Miss Ida Amelia
Moen, a daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Andrew Moen, of Washington Prairie.
That same year Mr.. Grinna bought
the VIM. Malli farm formerly the
Hogan place. on Clay Hill, and the
family home had been there ever
since, and Mr.. Grinna had built up
one of the finest farm homes in Win
neshiek county, having completed a
handsome new and modern residence
Ionly two years ago. He was sue
Icessful farmer and thresher, having
Ithreshed for the past ten years FOR
lClay Hill and Washington Prairie
Farmers. He was a man who pore
the respect and esteem of all, and his
sad and untimely death brings sor-
row to many.
He is survived by the bereaved
widow and an adopted daughter, ,AAna
lcne brother, Gustav, of Washington
Prairie and one sister, Mrs. Andine
Frye, OF Clay Hill. His parents pas
sed away some years ago, the mother
in 1888 and the father in 1903. TWO

UNABLE ID DECIDE
 ON t. O.P. KEYNOTER
Subcommittee Meets in Chi cagO to Plan Preliminary
 Details of Convention

Chicago, March 20-After devoting sev-
 eral hours to discussion to the qualiica- tions of numerous candidates for tempor-
 ary chairman of the republican national
 convention to be held here June 7 the
 subcommittee on arrangements of the na-
 tional committee today was unable to reach decision and deferred action until
 tomorrow. If the members are unable ! to agree at tomorrow's session, the sub
 ject will go over until the next meeting,
 April 20.
 1 Among the names suggested for tenn
 oorary chairman were: Senator Hardin
 of Ohio, President Nicholas Murray But | Ter of Columbia university, Philander c. | Knox of Pennsylvania, Senator Borah of Idaho, Governor Mccall of Massachu- setts Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, former Governor Osborn of Michigan; Senator Sutherland of Utah. and w. J. Calhoun of Illinois.
 Senator Harding, it was said, was re- garded with favor in the preliminary discussion, the argument being used that he would be acceptable to both the stall wart and progressive factions. The same argument was used in support of MT. Knox. The indications were that the choice might be between Harding, Butler and Knox.
 Chairman Hilles of the committee de- clined to discuss the numerous men men, toned for the place.
 ''None of the men being considered are candidates for the place in the sense that Mr
 Several are not aware that their names are being discussed, so far as I know"
 Although Chairman Hil1es declined to discuss presidential candidates fur ther than to reiterate that in his opin- ion Justice Hughes of the United States supreme court would not be a candidate. other committeeman did not hesitate to talk on the subject
 Ralph E. Williams of Washington de- clared the republican sentiment in the northwest was largely in favor of Hughes. He said he would not believe Hughes is out of the race until he cept the nomination if it is offered h1rn. Other members reported the Hughes sentiment in their states to be grow ing.
 Franklin Murphy of New Jersey said he favored Elihu Root
 All members who talked on the sub- ject expressed the opinion that The odore Roosevelt would not be seriously considered in the convention.
 Contracts for tickets and badges were awarded and 1t was decided that the committee would open it's headquarters in Chicago on March '. No changes in the seating plans previously approved were made.
 The committee accepted an offer of George Prince of New York to lend his oil painting of Abraham Lincoln, painted from life in 1864, for use in decorating the speakers stand.
 Chairman Hilles issued a statement calling attention to the confusion which has developed this year in the selection of delegates to the national conven- l tion because of the conflicting provis- | ions of the direct primary laws in the | different states and urging that uni form presidential primary law be | adopted by all the states.
