IN THE WAKES OF A CYCLONE
When a series of cyclones tore
through the Middle West during the
last week of May, killing and main.
ing hundreds of persons and destroy
ing millions of dollars worth of prop
erty, the Boy Scouts of America
promptly undertook such relief work
as It was possible for them to do.
The following letter reveals the aw-
fulness of the disaster and the hero
ism OF the scouts in one devastated
area:
June u, 1917.
Dear Sir: Your telegram reached

of the Boy Scouts here in helping
the sufferers from the tornado OF

the stcrm had not yet ceased the
boys came rushing into the office
where / was busy at work, asking:
What can We do?' At once they went
to work helping the doctors find the
wounded and dying, some working all
that night. In foot, I had to caution
the boys against overwork those aW.
full days. The mayor called them out
that night. In fact, had to caution
immediate use of them. The older
boys helped the militia as guards in
the streets at night, while others
guarded Red Cross stores in the court
house. Some acted as messengers,
while others, al the request of the
state board of health, helped remove
the dead animals. The scouts acted
as escorts through the ruined district
to take people to the trains. This dis
trict was under martial law, a pass
being required for entrance, but the
scouts were allowed to come and 60

At the last meeting of the scout
masters, a number of decisions were
arrived at. among them being the
determination to call null and void
any laws existing prior to Mr.. Burn
hams arrival, and to establish a new
order Of things.
Another decision is to have, at the
rally this year. a dividing line be-
tween seniors and juniors, in the ath-
letic contests, so that the fellows
aged II, Is and IA will compete among
themselves, and will not have to try
themselves out against men of Is, Is,
II and Is years.
A committee was appointed to act
on the marking system, but the chair
man moved to postpone any action
until after the rally. so as to give
the members time to investigate all
systems employed by the various
scoutmasters.

A Whale of a Potato.

When it comes to growing real po-
tatoes, the writer, j. j. McAndrews,
feels that his own back yard has been
doing it's bit this year. We dislike
to boast, but in these days when ev-
erybody has been given orders to get
busy and pant garden, we just sim
ply obeyed, and now have every rea-
son to feel proud of that little garden
patch, especially the allotment of
Early Ohio potatoes, planted April
IA. The first ones were dug July 10
and they were fine. Saturday another
hill was dug AID several in the lot
were jumbos. One of the big fellows
measured 91ax13 inches and weighed
15 ounces. 1t is on display in our Of
fee window and we haven't had any
challengers On the size and weight, as
yet.

Editing a Newspaper.

Editing newspaper is pleasing
business-if you can stand 1t.
If subscribers want to bawl out
anybody--the editors the goat.
If business is bad-it's because the
editor wants too much money for his
advertising space and other printing.
If business is good-advertising
hasn't any thing to do with 1t, but
conditions are right.
If we print what pleases people
that is our duty and we deserve no
credit.
If we print what displeases-we
are a crouch, and crepehanger, and
don't deserve the patronage of the
public.
If we print the news as it is-people
call us over the phone and tell us to
stop their paper.
If we. garble it-they tell us we are
subsidized by the corporate interests
Editing a newspaper is a pleasing
business-we like it.

The Mak-a-Tractor Worked Fine.

The writer went down to the Gilbert
Pearson farm home Thursday and
witnessed the Staude Mak-a-Tractor
at work hauling in hay from the
field. The tractor is mostly a Ford
car. All there is to it is two big trac-
tor wheels attached to the Ford, and
these can be changed in 20 minutes
for the regular rear wheels for plea
sure driving. The Ford pulled the
hayrack and hayloader as easily as a
railroad engine would, and the wagon
was loaded in no time and taken
to the barn by the Mak-a-Tractor and
hauled up a steep incline into the
barn and unlOaded. 1t is a great in
vention and does the work of three
or four horses and does it easy. We
understand T. ]. Qualley of the Mo-
tor Car Co. will take the agency here.

RIDGEWAY CHAUTAUQUA.
Six Day Program Will Open on Aug
Fourth.

The town of Ridgeway is going to
have a fine Chautauqua program,
which opens Aug. 4 and continues UNI
til Aug. 8, inclusive. 1t will be un-
der the auspices of the Jones Chau-
tauqua System, of Perry, Iowa, and
twelve programs will be given. The
opening concert will be given by tho
Lynn Trio, featuring combinations of
violin, cello and piano. Others on the
program are the RuthsRunner Con-
cert Company; DR.. w. H. Blancke,
lecturer; Olive Regar Rusk, one OF
Americas most brilliant readers;
Clayton H. Staples, land scape artist;
Francis M. Leaman, lecturer; The
Tolbert MacRae Singing Party; Ed
gar S. Kindley, the foremost boy
Problem MAJ in the land; Mildfed
NJ. Judy, singer; Rose Clark Price

The talent is all exceptionally good
and no doubt the Chautauqua will be
a big success and the people OF
Ridgeway are to be graduated on
putting on such fine program.

Prof. Gierset Coming Back.

1t will be good news to the many
friends of Prof. Gjerset and family to
know that they will again become
residents of DEBORAH, and the profess
sor will again take up his work at
Luther College. For the past year
he has been located at Fergus Falls,
with Park Region Luther College.
When the Norwegian churches joined
several colleges were consolidated,
which left this school a preparatory
school. He will return here in the
fall, and the family purchased the
residence of the late DR.. Laur Lar
son, where they will reside.

LITTLE AMERICAN" COMING.
Most Spectacular Scene Ever Staged
With Mary PickfOrd in Title Role
at Star Monday of Fair
Week.

What is announced TO be the larg-
est AID most spectacular scene ever
staged at the Lasky studios, Holly
wood, CAL, was produced last week
under the direction of Cecil B. De
Mile for the new Mary Pickford-Art-
craft picture, The Little American.
The scene depicted he luxurious ball
room of the Lusitania when the fam
Gus liner was torpedoed and has Gre
ated considerable interest among film
producing circles around Los Angeles.
The set was built in al immense
water tank measuring so by 100 feet,
and showed the wonderful ballroom
of the Lusitania, with all its lavish fur
nishings and crowded with fashion
able people in evening dress. At the
command of Director De Mile, the
ten cameramen began to grind, a
large orchestra started to play live
ly dance and soon Miss Pickford was
in the midst of scene of great mer-
riment Just as the festivities we're
at their height an explosion that, to
my mind, seemed only too realistic
but which, as the film will show, had
the desired effect, shook the entire
set and Immediately one end of the
floor rapidly began to sink into the
water. Waist high in the water, Miss
Pickford was picked up by a sturdy
young fellow who struggled toward
the stairs with her in his arms just
as the immense grand piano crashed
into the corner where they had been
standing. Gowns were torn from
backs, men fought with each other
and women screamed in actaal ter
ror as parts of the heavy mirrors,
walls and ceiling tumbled down upon
them. No one thought that the scene
would turn out to. be- one of. real
danger to this extent and even the
spectators were screaming with ex-
ltitement. D.
miss PickforG and various, other
members of the company had toi6is-
continue activities for the day after
this ordeal Mary held up we'll dur
ing the excitement, but after it was
all over it was found necessary to
