DECORAH LADIES RECEIVE
THANKS.
For the $261 They Sent to the Polish
Victims Relief Fund.

That the amount for the Polish
victims relief fund, raised by the
ladies of DEBORAH at their recent
benefit this spring, has been crate
fully received by l. j. Paderewski
founder of the fund, is shown by
correspondence received by Mrs
Lurton, Of this city.
The amount raised was 1851, and
on May 18th in response to letter
from Mrs. Lurton asking for infor,
nation as to where to remit the
money, Mr.. Paderewski's private
secretary advised as follows:
"My dear Mrs. Lurton:
Your letter was received just
as Madame and Mr.. Paderewski
were leaving for Washington,
and / have been requested to
write you that if you will send
the amount raised in your town
for Polish relief to Mr.. Paderew-
ski at the Hotel Gotham, 1t will
indeed be most gratefully APP
preciated.
Your letter gave a great deal
of Joy to both Madame and Mr..
Paderewski, and they wish me
to express to you their deep
appreciation"
The funds were at once RENTED
and Madame Paderewski personally
sent a receipt as follows:
MAY 25th, 1916, No. 100.
Received from the ladies of
DEBORAH, Iowa), Two Hundred
Sixty4One Dollars for the Polish
Victims Relief Fund.
HELENA PADEREWSKI."
A few days later came a card OF
thanks as follow:
"Mr. and Mrs. Paderewski &C
knowledge with deep gratitude
the receipt of your generous
contribution of 1851 to the Po-
lish Victims Relief Fund"
Both the receipt and card of thanks
are shown in Mott & Company's win
dow. Madame and Mr.. Paderewskl
save their entire fortune of over two
million dollars to this great cause
and appreciate the efforts done by
the ladies of DEBORAH.

An Exciting Trip Home.

Last Saturday three Decorahians,
Miss Hannah Drexel, Walter Jewell
and Karl Christopher were returning
home for the summer vacation from
studies at Iowa City. They were en-
route on the Rock Island and when
they got as far as Elgin they were
compelled to hire an automobile for
the rest of the trip, as no trains were
running on the Rock Island this side
of Elgin. They arrived in Elgin at
ten o'clock, and shortly afterwards
were on their way home via automo-
bile. Everything went fine for the
first few miles and then the auto
went into a mud hole and refused to
go any farther. Then ii was that old
Dobbin was brought into play, far
mer being routed out of bed, who
hitched up his team and pulled the
auto out of its resting place. No
more mud holes were encountered on
the rest of the trip and the students
arrived in DEBORAH at two o'clock in
the morning, and we guess they felt
that they had their moneys worth
in the ride of 80 or more miles from
Elgin.
