On Visit From Oregon.

Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Vance arriv-
ed in DEBORAH last week, on a visit
to his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. A. n.
Vance. 1t is his first visit to Decor
ah in eight years. Mr.. Vance is To-
Gated at Portland, Oregon, where
for five years he was in the employ
of the city doing the surveying. For
the past year he has been in the
United States Forest Service survey
ing in southern Oregon in the Cas-
cade mountains. The high price o.
meat doesn't bother them out there,
as he tells us that venison is plenti-
full and it doesn't cost only the eff
fort of going out and shooting it.
Mr. Vance since leaving DEBORAH has
advanced steadily in his chosen pro-
fession and made a big success of ir.
His many friends here are all pleas
ed to see him. Mr.. and Mrs. Vance
expect to remain here until Nov. first.

Death OF MRS. J. L. HANSON.
Beloved Mother Passed Away Satur-
day Evening, After Short Illness.

The many friends here of Mrs. An
ma Marie Hanson were shocked Sat
urday evening, when the news of her
death was made known, she having
passed away that evening at the fam
lily home, after only an eight days
illness from peritonitis, and many
had not known of her illness.
The deceased was born in Thrond-
hjem, Norway, March 20, 1916. In
the year 1872 she came to America
and located in Chicago, and was
married there that year on Nov. 80
to John l.. Hanson, and the follow
ing year they came to DEBORAH,
where the family home had since
been, the husband having been one
of Decorah's pioneer bakers. They
were blessed with fine family of
children, all of whom survive, with
the bereaved husband and father.
The children are Mrs. Mida Hegner,
DEBORAH; Mrs. G. G.. Anderson, Cal
mar; Henry b., st. Paul; Mrs. c. E..
Lands, Cedar Rapids; John o. Pop
lar, Mont; Conrad j., Fl Sam Hous-
ton, Texas; Mrs. j. B. Bell, Youngs-
town, Ohio; Olga, DEBORAH, and
Anna, Fargo, n. d., and all were here
in attendance at the funeral servi-
ces which were held yesterday after
noon from the United Lutheran
church, Rev. Glesne, officiating. She
is also survived by one sister, Mrs.
o. c. Jacobson and one brother, Olaf
Hanson, both of Chicago.
The large concourse. of people who
attended the last sad rites testified
to the esteem in which the deceased
was held by all who had known her
here for so many years. She was a
devoted wife and mother, a woman
of high character and sterling quail
ties of mind, and in her death the
community loses a most estimable
woman. We extend to the bereaved
husband and children, sincere sym
pathy in their loss.

The Sweet Shop Opens.

The Sweet Shop in the Relf build
ing has opened up for business, and
it is certainly very fine candy
store.
The store is a model of cleanliness
and Mr.. Laudel, the proprietor, is
to be congratulated on the elegant
of the place. He has a
most tempting line of home made
candies in a large variety, and while
the store has only been opened a few
days, a fine business has already
been accorded. There is certain
distinctiveness about the place that
illustrates the fact that the proprie-
tors know their business. Mr.. and
Mrs. Laudel are both expert candy
makers, very agreeable people to
meet, and We predict that they will
make a big success of the business
here.

Why, asked a visitor to the
theater the other day, do members
of the orchestra always worry peo-
pie possessing nerves, like myself, by
tuning up their instruments?"
1t is all a matter of Thermometer
according to musician. The tenn
perature in different parts OF the
building is different, and the instru-
ments have to be tuned in the tenn
perature of the place in which they
are going to be played. AS a rule,
the air in a theater becomes warmer
as the performance progresses and so
the instruments have to be tuned
several times.

State officials who have made
trips to various parts of the state,
say that Iowa has more hogs at pres
ent than at any time in the last
twenty years. The pig crop" never
was SO large, they say. With corn pro-
ducing fifty to sixty bushels to the
acre, they declare the Iowa farmer
will get better returns this year than
he has ever had. This will mean
greater improvements. more autos
and more improved farm machinery
on Iowa farms.

SANGERFEsT BIG SUCCESS.
Held at the Orleans Church Sunday
Afternoon.

The sixth convention of DEBORAH
circuit Young Peoples societies Of
the Norwegian Synod held at Or
leans church, Friday, Saturday and
Sunday was a pronounced success.
Blest with fair weather and good
roads the attendance was very near
ly the largest ever had at previous
meetings. The rehearsals were well
ATTENDED and the convention lectures
Saturday forenoon and afternoon
drew many attentive hearers. The
lecturers placed innumerable truths
clearly before the minds and hearts
of their audience.
The mission service Sunday NOR
ming with Pres. D. G. Ristad of the
Ladies Seminary, Red Wing, Mimi,
in the pulpit was a mighty encour-
agement for the missionary spirit as
shown also by the large Offering TAX
en- up.
The grand concert Sunday after
noon came well up to the quality Of
former years. The attendance taxed
the seating capacity of the tent be-
yond its limits. Even the church
grounds were literally covered with
the surging crowd. Looking to the
40 acre timothy patch used for park
ing cars it contained 44O cars, not
counting those which stood in the
road at the noon hour. Cars came
from all the neighboNing towns
Cresco, Ridgeway, DEBORAH, Wau-
kon, Waterville, Ossian, Calmar, lie
Roy, Adams, Taopi, Harmony,
Chester. For the cafeteria dinner
served to the multitudes much cred
1t is due to those in charge for their
sacrificing faithfulness. After about
2,OOo people had been supplied
there was still plenty for lunch for
the college band and many others
who wished something warm before
starting home.
The committee in charge feel very
grateful to all who assisted in max
ing the event so pleasant and sue
cessful.
The Luther college band did it's
part very creditably under the able
fdirection of Prof. Carlo Sperati.
They asked to have their apprecia-
ton expressed to the people of Cres-
co and Orleans for the many favors
shown them. After the concert they
departed for DEBORAH in an auto
train of Ia cars, happy and as full
OF life as when they came.
The following resolutions were
adopted:
THE Convention of the DEBORAH
Circuit of Y. P. societies takes this
opportunity of thanking the Com
fiercia1 club of the city of Cresco for
their wholesouled interest and the
hearty cooperation which greatly
contributed to-. the success of the
same convention.
I'VE, the members of Orleans
church and Orleans Y. P. s., wish 10
thank the people of Cresco in gen.
eral, and the Commercial club in
particular for their valuable assis-
lance in handling the crowd attend
ing our convention. "-Cresco Times

Motors Continue Their Rise.

Yesterdays market presented any
number of features of special interest,
such as the marines. the motors and
some of the war stocks, yet the per-
formance as a whole was not consid-
cred very impressive. For one thing,
the continuation of the wild rise of the
automobile shares based on more def
mite merger news displeased the conser-
vative element in the Street. who main
tanned that the thing was being over
done. This, coupled with the fact that
the general run of old line railway and
industrial shares failed TO do much one
way or the other, rather put damper
on sentiment. Big gains were again in
order in the motor stocks. with Gen
eral Motors, WHY'S Overlsnd and
Chandler again moving to new top
prices. while the Maxwell issues also
displayed pronounced strength. On the
curb Chevrolet and United Motors per-
formed their daily stunt of making new
highs, the latter showing a turnover Of
100 900 shares alone and climbing more
than points In many conservative
houses in the Street brokers cautioned
their customers against getting too
deeply into the fast moving motors
and advised proft-taking. This prob
ably had something to do with the ten
dCncy of the group in the afternoon,
when prices eased off all around. Firm
ness of the copper shares was attrb-
uted TO the expectation of larger divi-
bends

Liverpool Buying Absorbs Offer

The cotton market was much less

comparatively narrow and irregular.
The heavy selling Of last week appeared
to have improved the technical posi-

scattering liquidation. offerings were
comparatively light. Buying by Liver
pool houses 10 undo straddles was
largely responsible for absorbing offer
ings, while there was also scattered
covering on the rallies of some 16 20 20
points from the lowest prices reached

were barely maintained, however, and
the close was steady. net points

The opening was irregular, first
prices being points lower 70 6 points

ness as the call progressed, owing 10
the demand from houses with Liver
pool connections. This buying included
July, although il was most active in the
case of new crop deliveries, and prices
worked about 6 to points net higher
toward the middle Of the morning.
After the close abroad, support slack
