NECK RAISES COMP
ANY

The patriotic fervor shown by the
boys Of enlisting age when news came
that war had been declared was
brought to climax Saturday evening
when Messrs. Jarl E. Bowers and Nor
fleet Smith got the names and prom
ises of seventy five young men to make
up company to go to the front. They
thought it better to be all of one en-
listment.
Mr.. Norheet Smith thereupon wrote
the Adjutant General at Raleigh Sat
urdav night as follows:
1--WE have just perfected plans for
the organization Of a company Of infan
try, but have had talk with Major
Clark, and he states that he does not
think new units Will be accepted. II
our young men have to go, they, and
we, feel that it would be far better
go all in one outfit. From an expert
ence Of ten years in military, two years
at college, and eight in Virginia Mill
tia, / feel and / am fully capable to
train such an organization. Please ad
wise at once If new units will be accept
ed and if so wire, or phone your per-
mission for immediate organization. -
Then followed a conversation over
the phone with General Royster in
! which it was stated that until the pres
ent National Guard units were filled
to full quota no further units would
be allowed by war department.
The following telegram confirms this:

Conducts the Hotel Owatonna.

We regret very much to learn that
Landlord N. L. Bailey and wife of
the Winneshiek Hotel will soon leave
DEBORAH to make their home in st.
Paul. Mr.. Bailey sold his lease and
fixtures last week to Mr.. w. F. San

hotel was built twelve years ago and
has been conducted by Mr.. Bailey
since it opened. He had been in the
hotel business many years before
coming to DEBORAH and has made
success of the business, and he has
decided to retire, and it is with re-
gret that the people of DEBORAH see
this estimable family leave here.
The new proprietor is fine gentle
man and thorough hotel man. He
conducts a fine hotel in Owatonna,
and will leave that hotel in charge of

ANOTHER TELEGRAM.

Chicago, Illinois, Oct 20, 1917.
Il. Algyer, Chairman, DEBORAH, Iowa.
Wire Received-Hope your big
drive today will be in every sense a
thorough success. There is no ques-
ton but that it will be if the people
of your locality have a full realiza-
ton of the responsibility to our gov
eminent and to the country as
whole. 1t is most clear that the earn
est cooperation of everyone is abso-
lutely essential to get the results we
are striving for. This is a time when
all of us should place our own per-
sonal interests and affairs in second
place. Patriotism should be our every
thought and action. Our country has
given much here in freedom and OPP
portulity and required less of us
than any nation which has ever ex-
listed upon the face of the earth
Now it is asking of us. not the gift of
our friends but merely a loan upon
most attractive terms and upon the
best security conceivable Let us all
do our part quickly and generously.
If all pull together, each one first of
all subscribing to the limit of his
ability and then in urn getting his
friends to 40 likewise, there can be
no question of a doubt but that Iowa
will beat our highest expectations.

CAST OF
FIFTY PEOPLE
The Lyrics Are Brilliant and the
Music Sparkling and Always
MelOdiOuS.

fFlora Bella, most charming of
thiS seasons crop of musical come

York, to its credit, will be the at
traction at the Grand, Tuesday night,

people. The producer will send here
a specially selected cast of singers,
dancers and funmakers. A formida-
BILE collection of geniuses are re-
sponsible for the making of this de-
lightful offering. The book is by
Felix Doerman1, revised and adapted
by Cosmo Hamilton and Dorothy
Donnelly. The lyrics are by Percy
WaXman, and the score by Charles
Cuvillier and Milton Schwarzwald.
The story has to do with the Pri1-
cess Mania Demidoff, who, previous
TO her marriage to Prince Nicholas
Demidoff of the Russian Nobility,
was cabaret singer at the Sign of
the Golden Calf in Petrograd. Believ-
ing that princess should conduct
herself in cold, distinguished man
ner, Mania so deports herself. The
result is that her husband grows tir-
ed Of the humdrum monotony and
Graves for touch of high life. He
discovers a picture in his home of a
girl and accuses her of STOPPING to
the level of dancer to secure no.
vel photograph. She explains the pic
ture is that of her twin sister, Flora
Bella, and when her husbands friend
recognizes the dancer of the Sign of
the Golden Calf, Nicholas decides to
steal away for a little Irritation with
the girl
On the same night Mania is in
duced to return to her old position to
do a special favor for an old friend
and they meet at the restaurant.
Nicholas falls madly il love with the
girl he believes Flora Bella and
there Mania wins back his love. The
story is highly interesting with witty
lines and clever situations. The
lyrics are brilliant and the music
sparkling and always melodious.

Wouldn't That Make You Mad.

Some old woman, an editor In
western Iowa, has written long and
windy editorial in which he e1dea-
vors to prove that it is wrong to send
tobacco TO the soldier boys because
tobacco is harmful in war just as
much as in peace. Wouldn't that
make you mad? Here is a narrow
minded sinner who wants to force
total abstinence on our soldiers just
because he happens to have the OPP
portunity to make his reform coer-
Give. When you read about the trials
and troubles and dangers that our
soldier BOYS are going through and
will have to go through. doesn't it
make you little "peeved" when
some sanity but misguided crank
wants to put over thing like that?
Somebody should relate the story
told of General Grant and President
Lincoln to said editor. A party of
ministers came to Lincoln and asked
him to remove General Grant be-
cause it was claimed that he was
at the battle of Shiloh.
Lincoln responded that If such were
the case, he wanted to learn the par
ticular brand of liquor Grant was ia
voring at that time so he could send
a barrel of it to every one Of his gen.
erals. If little tobacco sooths the
boys nerves and makes them fight
better, let 'em have it.-Wauko1
