COAL FAMINE
IN MORRISTOWN

NOrristoWn is experiencing a
.oal famine for at the present
time there is not a bucket Of
coal to be purchased in the town
and this situation has prevailed
for the past several days. Those
who are fortunate in having a
good supply on hand hardly rea-
lie what those with an cmply
coal bin are up against. The
fine weather during the past
several days has helped consld-
cradle but if the situation is not
relieved and cold weather sets
in it will prove a hardship to
many, although conditions here
are not 50 serious as it would be
elsewhere as we have plenty Of
ignite coal in the mines a short
distance from town, and we are
wholly not dependant on what
is shipped in. - Morristown

FIRE DESTROYS BERGEN, NOR.
Third of the City Destroyed, With
$15,OOO,OOO Loss.

A third of the city of Bergen, a
thriving Norwegian seaport with q
population of 10000, was destroyed
last Friday night by fire.
Two lives are reported TO have
been lost and 1000 persons are
homeless. The property damage is es-
timated at SIS, 100000.
The confagration is said to be the
worst ever recorded in Norway. The
business section, with its old whole
sale houses, several of the largest oil
the hotels, a number of schools, the
electrical plant and banks and news
paper buildings was the part burned
The difficulties of the 1000 persons
now without homes were added to by
the fact that the large storage hous-
es filled with provisions for supply
ing the surrounding country were
burned down.

WAUKON BASKET BALL GIRLS.
Greatly Pleased Over Defeating De-
CCrah High School Girls
last Week.

The following is taken from the
Waukon Standard:
There was a double header bas-
ket ball game here Friday night be-
tween the WaukOn boys and girls
teams and the DEBORAH teams. The
girls game was the closest and most
exciting game ever played in Wau-
kon. For the first time in six years
the Waukon girls were vic orious,
the score standing IL to II in their
favor.
The boys game was won by Decor
all and was so one sided that we
lost count and are unable to give
the score. The girls and their
friends were wild with joy when the
DEBORAH girls went down in defeat.
The mean old hoodoo that has clung
to them for SIX long years is busted,
and they expect to go to DEBORAH and
win the rub game, and here's hoping
that they will not be disappointed.
After the games the visiting teams
were entertained by the Waukon
youngsters with a dance in the new
WoOdman hall, which was largely at
tended and all had good time.

Hexom's Display Ranked High.

Philip HeXom received a hand
some book last "eek, containing 100
prize winning window display pic
lures, products of members OF the
Rice Leaders OF the World Associa-
ton. Mr. Hexom competed in this
contest last fall, and there was a
possible 10000 window displays sub
mitted. The 100 printed in this
book were selected as the best, and
speaks well for Mr. HeXom. The dis
play was Of Armour's canned pro-
ducts. A notation appearing un-
derneath his display picture in the
book reads as follows: "A mOnumen-
tai type of display, carrying sugges-
ton Of worthiness and honor that
must have reflected an added char
acter and dignity to the store max
