lean steamship line were worth $40
each on June l, 1916, and are still
rising. When this company was or

seriousness Of the task In front Of

AZ they passed the salutes and hallOos

There seems to be no sign Of local

These signs read:

fresh In the minds OF the Morse peo-
pie on both sides OF the sea. Some
time ago he retired from the new

has been without position. This re-
suited In general demand that he be

There is curious side angle to the
contract made with England TO sell
the fish catch Of this year TO England.
Those who have fish TO sell manage TO
get very big price for their goods
from England. The poor people in
Norway who have 10 buy fish for their
own use did not like the arrangement
bit, for ii made fish food very ex-
pensive to them. And so the govern
ment stepped in and bought fish as
cheaply as possible and sold il trifle
below cost TO the consumers. Among
those consumers are often the fisher
men who sell their fish 10 England, for
the price asked by the government is
lower than what the representatives
Of England offer on the fishing grounds

DEEDS TAKEN OVER.
On Schultz Property Recently Pur-
chased for City Park Purposes.

Mr. C. j. Weiser has taken over
the title on the Schultz property Of
about l 6 acres Of the finest and most
suitable grounds that could be had
anywhere for park purposes. Nj.
Weiser will transfer the land to the
city of DEBORAH, for an addition to
the City Park. The new addition in
cludes all the Henry Schultz estate,
also the Geo. Schultz land, with the
exception of the house with a lot
fronting the Park drive 10 feet wide
and 300 feet in length. The house
and lot is taken over and paid for
personally by Messrs. S. Larsen, n.
l.. Bailey and l.. B. Whitney.
We understand there is a move on
to organize a Country Club in con-
nection with a tennis court, boating
and bathing beach. The Schultz home
will make an ideal place for a club
house, as no finer spot could be Sc
lected anywhere and the above par
ties will sell this property to such a
club, when organized.

CARE OF STORAGE BATTERIES.
Cold Weather Affects the Storage
Battery. See Peter johnson a.
Son Now.

In winter, more than any other
time of the year, the motorist should
give his storage battery special at
tention.
Discussing the problem of winter
care of storage batteries, the Willard
expert said;
I'm winter the storage battery is
called upon to do about twice as much
work as in summer. The lights are
used a great deal more and the en-
CINE usually starts great deal ha--
der in winter than in summer be-
cause carburetion is more difficult.
The battery has to supply power for
both of these-for both the start
ing and the lighting.
THE average motorist does rot
run his car as far nor as fast in win
ter as in summer so the generator
does not get the opportunity to re-
store the energy used in cranking
and lighting. The result is that if
the motorist is not careful, the bat
terry slowly loses its charge.
"Since a discharged battery free
zes at about 20 degrees above zero.
freezing can best be avoided by keep
ing the battery fully charged.
THE chief points in the winter
care of the battery for the motorist
J to remember are: First; test the
battery frequently with a hydrome-
ter; second conserve the power as
much as possible; and third; keep in
touch with the service station.
The hydrometer will show infal-
libby whether the battery is truly be-
ing kept fully charged-that l..
whether the generator is restoring
as much energy to the battery as is
being used.
Printing the engine before start
| ing it will spare the battery a great
deal of work. This ought to be done
every morning in winter before the
car is taken out. Lights should be
used as sparingly as possible.
"Of course the battery should be
kept filled with distilled water.
BY keeping in touch with the Ser
vice Station, the motorist gives the
battery man a chance to look his
battery over and in this way trouble
is remedied before it gets a chance
to become serious"
The Willard Storage Battery Com
pany's booklet on winter Care
ought to be of great interest to all
motorists because it states the diff
ferent points in winter care very
clearly. Any motorist can have this
book by asking for 1t at Peter john
son & Sons, DEBORAH, Iowa.

Subscription Contest Manager
AbScOndS.

An auto voting contest which the
Standard has been endeavoring to
promote the past several weeks,
came to an inglorious end last week
owing to the manager of it, party
named Genische, hailing from Kan
sas City, skipping out with close to
$500 entrusted to him. He left Fri
day night during the absence of Edi-
tor Potter, who was attending foot
ball game at the twin cities.
The contest, Genische reported be-
fore leaving, was tagging and meet
ing with but little favor and he be-
came Disguised and concluded to
skip. He had been carousing, also
g week or two previous. The con-
test has been called off, with quite a
loss to the Standard publisher, but it
evidently was his best way out of the
affair. He will doubtless recover the
sum which Genische took with him,
as the latter was simply an employee
of a company who contracted to con-
duct the contest, and who cannot af-
ford for business reasons to fail to
reimburse Mr.. Potter.
This will doubtless put an end to
voting subscription contests in this
county for all time to come, for they
had been used too frequently by some
Of the papers and had come to be
considered nuisance Waukon
