GOOD NEWS FOR PARK
LOVERS OF DEBORAH
An Addition of About Twenty Acres
Added to DecOrah's Already
Beautiful Park.
SCHULTZ PROPERTY
HAS BEEN PURCHASED
Well Known Citizen Has Come to As
sistanCe Of Park Commissioners,
Making the Venture
Possible.

/ For several years past the City
Park commissioners of Decorah have
locked forward 10 the time when in
some way the beautiful bluff along
the Dugway overlooking the Oneota
river, could be bought and added to
the City Park, and to preserve the
fine trees and shrubs that are now
covering the hillside. But the stumb-
ling block in the way, as you all
know, was the financial part-no
money to buy 1t with.
But now that dream has become
a reality through the generosity of a
we'll known citizen and friend of the
City Park, who has since the estab-
lishment of the Park assisted the
financially and other
wise to the extent that they have
been enabled to inaugurate quite a
number of improvements, making
the Park one of the beauty spots OF
Iowa. This gentleman has come to
the assistance of the commissioners
again to such an extent that they not
only have purchased the fine hillside,
but also the brick yard, known as the
Henry Schultz estate, and also the
Geo. Schultz property, and also the
fine strip OF ground known as the
Schultz Park, making in all an addi-
ton of about 1S or 20 acres to our
already beautiful park grounds.
which will now with this new addi-
tion total close to thirty acres. The
realization of this new addition has
be2n made possible through the gem
'erosity Of Mr.. C. J. Weiser, and to
whom the park commissioners feel
more than greatful. not only for hts
financial assistance in this venture,
but. also for his whole souled gener-
Osity in liberal donations to the park
since it was established.
Ever since the City Park was
opened it has been the mecca for
hundreds OF visitors each week dur
ing the summer months, not only
our own citizens. but hundreds of
visitors from a distance who came in
their automobiles, bringing their
dinners. and spending the day amid
its beautiful surroundings. The first
visit always called for second one,
and everybody marveled at the
beauties, which nature has endowed
this beautiful spot with.
The park commissioners, Messrs.
S. Larsen, l.. B. Whitney and N. l..
Bailey, have been untiring in their
efforts to make the Park the success
and beauty spot it is. Their efforts
have been handicapped somewhat
the past few months but we think
they are entitled to big boost for
what they are doing for Decorah.
The Park has been in operation
for the past four years, and like the
Ice Cave, has proven a big drawing
card for visitors. Now with park
ground Of nearly thirty acres and
MOTE added improvements. Decor
ah will have a park second to none
in the state.

Publishing a newspaper nova
days has become serious and pre-
carious business proposition, says
"A. w. Blakely of the Rochester Post
and Record. a veteran in the game.
It's no longer joke, and unless the
publishers cut every corner, get
their money for their paper in ad-
vance and economize in every way.
they will not only go out of business
but they will so quick"

HARDING POLICIES.
What q Man Of the People Thinks
Best.

The roads leading from farming
centers to markets are the ones that
should be improved, because the
wealth of the state is produced by
the farms, is the statement made by
Lieutenant Governor w. L. Harding.
Mr.. Harding, the republican candi-
date for governor, said he is opposed
to the effort of a certain few indus
tries to esta blish four paved high
ways across the state, two east and
west, and two north and south.
"The farmer is the man who should
be benefited by better roads thruout
the state" Mr.. Harding said. "If
highways across the state were con-
structed, they would not be of any
material value to the farmer, who is
the wealth producer of Iowa. Good
roads, in my opinion, should be con-
structed only with this purpose in
view.
II am strongly opposed to the is
suance Of state bonds for the con-
struction of the proposed paved high
ways, inasmuch as the majority of
the people in the state would not be
benefited by their establishment.
Another issue of great impor-
tance in the present campaign is the
tariff question. The stand i have
taken in the matter is, of course, in
harmony with the republican idea of
what the tariff should be. The diff
ference between the republican and
the democratic tariff is that the dem
ocratic tariff is for revenue only,
while the republicans believe in
protective tariff.
Nothing except the protective
tariff will be able to protect the Unit
ed States interests after the present
war. A tariff which will form a So
called fence abO.'t the entire country
will be necessary. for every coun.ry
in Europe will attempt to cut the
market Of tho United States. without
q protective tariff international trade
complications Of a serious nature are
likely to arise.
There are much more and stronger
competition from, the foreign coun-
tries after the war. The life, almost
OF those countries depends upon the
world markets. anu, each will sehe
striving to oltdo the other. And,dn
order that the United, States does
not suffer. a protective tariff must be
established. -,
In my opinion the saloon ques-
tion in this state is practically set
tied in every respect, and should not
be made an issue in this campaign"
Mr.. Harding's tour will last until
about September fifteenth, before
which he will address audiences in
about fifty towns and cities in all
parts of the state.

Things Worth While.. !.


There are things in this world that
are more abiding than money-of
more value than fine raiment. It l.
worth while to be q man. 1t is worth
while to keep morally clean and
stand unhes.tatingly for right prin-
ciples. 1t is worth while to have q
back hone and to use it in defense of
the right AMI on the side of the weak
against the strong. 1t is worth while
to keep sober and be industrious, to
give this old world lift upward. It
Is worth while to speak ''out in
meeting" and stand square-toed
against graft and greed. 1t is worth
while to be worthy of reputation
among ones fellows as man who
can be trusted at the worlds trade
mark. 1t Is worth while to feel and
know that truth ultimately shall
win in the battle againot error anu
avarice. 1t is worth while to believe
that behind the big clouds is the sun
still shining" and that life is not all
night. In the final analysis it is
worth while to reach up in faith and
catch glimpse of Him who died ON
the cross in the worlds tragedy. And
Is worth while to remember that
without God there is no. continuing

cossoN on TRAIL
OF AUTO DRIVERS
Shocking Number of Accidents Due
to Negligence Of Automobiles.
STATE WIDE
COUNTY ATTORNEYS MUST ACT
Two Special Agents at Work in Des
MOines Checking mp
ViOlatOrs.

Attorney Genordl COSSOn yeStcT-
day launched. q state wide campaign
for the enforcement of the aut0mo-
bile laws. Letters were sent to
county attorneys of each county.
with instructions that all vioIators
OF the motor vehicle law shall be
prosecuted and that the effort be
continued until there is whole
some respect for the law.
In Des Moines fifty citizens were
summoned to appear at Municipal
court on charges of operating pri-
vate cars with dealers numbers and
operating trucks faster than ten
miles an hour without displaying d
license number. Earl M. Steer, agent
from the attorney generals office,
talked with the defendants and
granted them until Saturday to COM
ply with the law.
BY the campaign the attorney gem
eral expects to make travel on the
highways safe. He estimates that
at least $4,000 will be collected in
automobile fees which car operators
have failed to pay for 1916. Paper
numbers on cars will not be tolerat-
ed and dealers will be required to
register the cars they use for per-
sonRl service. In cities along the
border Of the state, officials are being
advised to prohibit the use of cars
registered in another state. longer
than the period permitted BY law.
The number of deaths and act
EUtdsnts due to neglisencs and viols-
tion OF the Law relating. to motor
vehicles ID no great AZ to shock Both
our senstbiMty and our creduiity." I"
said Cosson. II We have more MUIR
ders in the United States than in any
civilized country In the world. but the
number of deaths due to automobile
accidents is 90 great there is no
comparison. For August in the state
Of Iowa We had over thirty deaths,
and more than 500 accidents with
more than 400 persons injured. For
July there were thirty-six deaths
and ATS persons injured.
IF there had been the same loss
of life and injury to cattle by reason
LOT the foot and mouth disease, there
would be a great demand for spe-
cial session of the legislature to dis
cuss ways and means to stop the ter
rible epidemic: and If the same num-
ber of persons died as a result of
some contagious disease, the whole
state would be aroused at this shock
ing loss of human life. but coming as
Ia result of automobile accidents, it
hardly receives passing notice"
The attorney general calls atten-
tion to the law which provides that
10 person who has been twice found
guilty of driving an automobile
while intoxicated. may be declared
guilty Of felony and punished by a
term in the penitentiary not less than
one year or more than five years.
In closing the letter to county at
ltorneys. Mr.. Cosson says that he does
not want sporadic effort to enforce
the letter of the law, but ne wants a
persistent effort to enforce the sta
tute without fear or favor, against
Ievery person who has been guilty OF
a substantial violation of the law

Candidate for the Republican Nomi-
nation for United States Sena-
ator August 10Th.

William H. Hill, of Detroit, who
has tossed his hat into the ring for
the nomination for United States
Senator from Michigan on the Re-
publican ticket, has a political mes
sage for the people that it would be
we'll to heed.
Mr.. Hills long experience in the
administration of large business at
of the viewpoint and the duties or
Office.
A close study of government af-
fairs has convinced him that there is
but one course to pursue in a Fed.
eral Office. That is, to base every act
on the fact that running a govern
ment is business proposition Tor
business men of experience and judg-
mcnt.
He believes that the government of
the United States should be regarded
as great corporation in which the
100,000,000 people of this country are
the stockholders; and that the Senate
and the House of Representatives con-
stitute the Board of Directors" of
this corporation.
He believes that the members Of
the board" should represent all the
people all the time and not favored
few; and that the people should al
ways be able to tell where their "di-
rectors" stand.
He asked: Have the people Of
Michigan, the past few years, been
able to tell where their senators stood,
or where 20 find them?"
Mr.. Hill is we'll fitted for the Office
he seeks and to realize his conception
of its duties. Years of arduous train
ing in the business world, wide travel
in this and foreign countries and close
study of history and government have
given him exceptional equipment for
the task. Thir-y-one years of his life
have been spent in Detroit where he
is successful manufacturing drug
gist, conducting one of the largest
concerns of its kind in the country.
A Good Platform to Stand Onto
Act On.
Here arc the .ail-inclusive and pro-
gressive principles on which William
II. Hill is basing his campaign:
1000 Americanism and national Sc
curity.
Improvement of labor conditions.
Protection OF women and children.
Conservation OF national resources.
A stable foundation for honorable
enterprise.
Rescuing commerce from uncer-
tainty.
Establishing non-part;san tariff
commission whose work shall be con-
Quoted on scientific and efficient lines.
Mr.. Hill urges you to come out at
the primaries August 10Th. 1t is only
by exercising your privileges at the
Primaries that you can secure a new
deal. Put an x before the name of
William H. Hill August 10Th.

~INALLY st. Paul and Barnabas
returned from their missionary
tour, and reported to the congre-
cation at Antioch. Together the
Church and their missionaries rejoiced
in their mutual service for the Gentiles.
The cause was quite prosperous every
where. Then came season Of con-
tention and doctrinal differences. Ger
tain brethren came from Jerusalem
and. perceiving that the Gentle Chris
tians ignored circumcision, raised a
great commotion on that score, claim
ing that while circumcision would not
save without Christ. neither would
Christ's salvation be operative without
circumcision.
The minds of many or the Church
were disturbed. and for time split
seemed probable. But better counsels
prevailed; and st. Paul and Barnabas
were sent to Jerusalem as a committee
to confer with the Apostles there.
In the account the kindly Difference
of the Apostles, one to another, is quite
marked. 1t is also noticeable that they
based their conclusions upon what they
found written In the Old Testament
Scriptures and upon the leadings Of
Divine providence. Gradually for sew
eral years the Truth had become more
plain to them-that Gods special favor
