DID NEARLY $1,000 BUSINESS
VI. ID. WELLS CLOSING OUT SALE
DRAWING IMMENSE CROWDS
Saturdays Business Amounted TO
Nearly $1,000, Just Lacking
Seventeen Dollars.

The big closing out sale advertise
ment of the NJ. d. Wells variety
store which appeared il Public Opin-
ion last week drew one of the big
gest one days business Saturday
that we have ever heard of in this
section. Mr. E. P. Murphy of Mime
apolis, a we'll known salesman, who
conducts closing out sales, was in
charge, and the first days sale last
Saturday totaled nearly $1,000; to
be exact it was S17 short of $1,000.
This sale was advertised exclusively
in Public Opinion and the results
proves the advertising superiority of
this paper. At eleven O'Clock in the
morning Mr.. Wells was compelled to
lock the doors of the store. The
crowd was so dense that they were
unable to handle any more, so the
doors were locked until the big
crowd got settled. All dav long un-
til late at night a stream of people
visited the store, and carried away
big bargains. The sale is still in
progress and an immense lot of good
stuff is still left for those who want
real bargains on first class merchan-
disc. Another big ad on the last
page of this issue is full of bargain
prices. Look it up and take advan-
tage of it.

clock at the home of the brides par
ents, Mr.. and MIS-. NJ. H. Montgom-
cry, in this city, occurred the mar
rage of their youngest daughter,
Miss Ruth to Mr.. Noble Day, of New

The bride is one of Decorah's fairest
daughters, an accomplished young
lady of rare grace and refinement,
and her friends here are as numerous
as her acquaintance. This union
unites two we'll known and highly re-
spected families.
The groom was born and grew to
young manhood here, and is son of
the late John Day, we'll known lum-
herman here in the early days. The
groomss mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Day
and son have been residents of New
Orleans for some years, where Mr..
Day is one of the prominent and veal
thy lum herman of that locality. At
ter the ceremony a wedding supper
was served. after which the happy
young couple departed via automo-
bile for Calmar, where they took the
train on an Eastern honeymoon trip.
They will be at home after December
first at New Orleans, where the best
wishes of host of friends here go
with them. The out of town guests
who were here for the wedding were

E. j. Phelps, Minneapolis; Mrs
Frank Reum, Outlook, Sask., Canada,

New Wells Fargo Agent.

Geo. Trowbridge, who has been the
popular agent at the Wells Fargo ex-
press Office here for the past three
years has been promoted to the agen-
cy at Charles City. The Wells Fargo
and American companies have joint
Offices there and George will have
charge of both. Mrs. Trowbridge
will assist in the Office also. We dis
like very much to see this estimable
family leave DEBORAH. Mr.. Trow-
bridge has made many friends and
proved one of the most painstaking,
efficient and accommodating officials
the company ever had here. He was
always willing and ready to make
anything right, whenever a dispute
arose, and his genial ways won for
him many friends. The family left
Saturday for their new home. His
place here will be filed by Mr.. w. A
Mullarkey, of Charles City, who now
has charge of the office.

JUST \ REMINDER.
How About Your Seed Corn in this
. County?

V. w. Flint, special seed corn
agent, has ben sent into Winneshiek
Icounty by the department of agricul-
ture to review the seed corn situa-
ton and urge the farmers to make
sure of safe and sure seed corn sup
ply for next year.
"Winneshiek county is very fortu-
nate" says Mr.. Flint, in that nearly
every farmer, at least in the south
part OF the county, is able to gather
his seed corn on some of his land
where frost has not completely killed
his.
However, says Mr.. Flint, this adj
vantage must be taken at once. Any
day after the first of the month ave
can expect freezing temperatures that
will Kill this soft corn in the ear. 1t
must be picked and stored where it
will not freeze until dried out COM
pletely.
The government urges every farm
er who is able to to save at least twice
as much seed as he will need, as
many will neglect to gather seed un-
til too late and they must buy seed.
The experience of two years ago
should teach the farmer the need of
prompt action. 1t is patriotic and
profitable to make sure of seed corn,
as the short labor supply is cutting
our acreage, and every acre titled
next year must produce its limit. Ev-
cry hill must furnish its quota. Let's
back the boys at the front with the
best of everything.

PANAMA FOUND
TO NEED FARMER
Possibilities of Agriculture
Pointed Out in Country That
Has Long Purchased Food

Panama, r. p. - In territory
along the Panama Canal TO dis
tance of 40 miles from the axis OF
the waterway, there are found to be
not 500 acres of land in full culuVa-
tion, out of total of 100000 acres
and with a population somewhat in
excess of 100000. 1t is doubtful il
there is a city as large as Panama
anywhere else contiguous to fertile
soil and having abundant rainfall
where the people engage in so little
agricultural industry.
The Panama Railroad across the
isthmus runs through 40 miles of
untitled jungle, though within the
las. year efforts at utilizing the land
for pasturing cattle have been begun.
one might suppose that there must
be some defect in the soil to account
for this total neglect of agriculture
close to such large and steady mar
ket But this is not at all the case.
Out of the 1000 square miles in ques-
ton, there are not more than 200
covered y the waters of GatCn Lake
and the Chagres and other rivers;
nor more than so where the land is
too low and marshy for cultivation.
The topography of the country is a
slope from sea level at both oceans,
up to about 800 feet at the summit
of the continental divide along the
canal, while the mountains at the
head of the Chagres River rise TO
5000 feet. The average elevation of
the whole region is easily more than
80 feet above sea level.
The soil is mostly a red clay sub
soil, with considerable humus in a
large part of the area; with limestone
in some places, and volcanic clays in
others. 1t is probably better, on the
whole, than that of North Georgia.
Fifty bushels of corn have bcCnn pro
duced on an acre of new ground.
without fertilizer and with very pri-
mitive cultivation. Yams and sweet
potatoes produce 200 to 500 bushels
per acre easily. The rainfall amounts
to about 100 inches per year, with
four dry months. The temperature
rarely rises above % degrees
Fahrenheit or falls below 60 de-
gress Fahrenheit.
Part of this belt is heavily timber
ed with both hard and soft woods.
indicating its original fertility. In the
whole of the 1000 square miles ad-
joining the canal, there are no roads
or means of communication except
those running through its center, in
Guiding the canal, the Panama Rail-
way, which parallels the canal at a
distance of between a mile and a
few wards in places, and road par
alleling the Panama Railway for
about 20 miles on the Pacific SIDE,
and seven on the Atlantic; with n
sort suburban road out of Panama
City some five miles. and another
from Colon to one of the points on
the bay, of about five miles also.
That is, all the roads are practically
within half a mile of the canal across
the isthmus; they furnish transpor-
tation to only 100 square miles out of
the 1000. allowing distance of one
mile on each side as that to be count
ed. The remaining territory is en-
tirely without roads. a few rough |
trails of the worst possible sort af- !
fording a way for pack animals TO
get through the jungle in a few |
places.
