They report d very enjoyable journey save for tire troubles and the fact that a side trip to the Goldfield country delayed them to the extent that they were late for the hOspitable receptions that had been planned for them at various towns en route. At Ray, Winkleman. Hayden and Florence they learned that they had arrived too late for the plans to be carried out, as they managed to reach these towns at late hour.

OLE MARSH MANAGING
PLESTINA.
DEBORAH Man Deposits Certified
Check for Finish Match.

The following dispatch appearing
in the daily papers will interest many
Decorahians, as Plestina appeared
here at the Grand last summer with
Ole Marsh and Farmer Burns. Mr..
Marsh is managing Plestina.
y. c. Marsh, manager of Marin
Plestina, today sprung a real sur
prise on the wrestling impresarios of
the country by depositing a certified
/ check for $1,000 with Chicago pap
er as forfeit to bind a finish match
with either Earl Caddock, Joe Stech-
err Stranger" Lewis or Charley
Cutler, at the same time announcing
his willingness to wager any part
of $500 on the side that his man
could trim any one of the four who
accepted the def
81 know of no better way to show
that we mean business and at
the same time offer proof of my con-
fidence il Plestina to defeat any
wrestler in America today than by
putting up the coin,' said Marsh as
he handed over the certified check.
Money talks, and I'm going to let
that $1,000 talk for me for the next
three months. All any man who
thinks he has wrestler who can
take Plestina's measure need to do is
to cover it and he can get our game.
We're after Caddock, Stecher,
Lewis, and Cutler, all or any one Of
EN- I'm going to give them all three
months to arrange match with
Plestina. and my money will be up
for that length of time. If at the end
of that time none Of them has come
to the front am going to claim the
championship for Plestina, and I
guess the real fans will say I've act
ed on the square.

years prices are way below the val
ue this fall. Customers come to this
store from many miles away, becaYse
they save many dollars on their pur-
chase. Suits which we are selling OF
pure wool, silk mixture, at $3.50
are actually sold at the large city
stores at $4,000. Our blue serge
suits which are sold at $3.50 are
worth more than this price at whole
sale. The truth is we bought all our
fall and winter stock long before
the enormous advance, and our pat
rons get the benefit because we have
not gone through our stock and
marked up our clothing as thousands
of merchants all over the land have
been doing and are doing. We have
always had the interest of our GUS
toners at heart because we feel it is
the right and only way to hold all
our old customers and add new ones.
We are determined to increase our
business, and have marked our prices
so our sales will increase materially.
Yours,
BEN BEAR.

Reason Still Obscure.

"'Here is an item about woman
named Bilderback, over in Tumli1-

divorce, said Mrs. Gap Johnson, of
Rumpus Ridge, Ark, in the midst of
her perusal of the county seat news

in the bed, and that the floor boards
in the kitchen are so loose that the
hogs under the house often bulge
right up through into the room when
the family is eating dinner
"Uh-huh!" returned Mr.. Johnson

Laid in Supply of Stamps.

A farmer near BeamaI thinks he
slipped one over on the government.
He has heard about stamps going up.
A few days ago he went into his To-
cal postoffice and purchased $40
worth of 2-cent stamps, which he
expects will last him four or five
years. If this farmer mails letter
TOMORROW or after and it is sent back
to him with the request for more
postage he will realize that he
might as we'll have bought a Liberty
boad which would earn him per
cent as to loan money to the govern
ment by buying stamps which will
earn no interest at all

here and Saturday night one of them
committed suicide. Yesterday there
was party of 6 in an auto that was
hit by train and of them were
killed and the other one was about
dead.
1t seems funny to think there is
snow up there and here the weather
| is so nice. don't realize it is as late
as it is. Mother asked if would like
to go to France. Yes, would like to
go, it would certainly be great ex-
perie2ce and not so very much
danger either. Really l wouldn't be
bit surprised if l would get a
chance to see France before the war
is over. There was a little talk about
US going to California or to Honolulu,
but l guess we will stay here until
spring anyway if not all the time,
because they have to have some place
to take care of the wounded that
come Dack from france.
We got two suits of WOODEN under
wear apiece Saturday, but that is all
the winter stuff we have got, / sup
pose they are giving all the winter
stuff to the ones in the northern
camps first, which is not more than
right. Us fellows that work in the
operating room are going to get SIS
more month, guess, so that makes
$3S month
We are going to have band con-
cert in our recreation room tomor-
row night. / think we are going to
have two of them a week.
Am sending plat of the camp
and in a couple of days will send a
couple pictures of myself. Give one
to Grace, would send it now, but
have no way of wrapping it up so
will have to wait until l go to town if
l can't find paper nd string here, will
send you one of the programs of our
Halloween dance. 1t was some affair
and we can have dance every two
weeks. The pictures are hot very
good, my eyes look funny on account
of the bright lights he used when
taking it.
Have Albert write again, he writes
a good hand, really l was surprised
to see his writing he is still in the
trading business.
There is over thousand patients
in the hospital now. 1t seems funny
that there should be so many sick
ones-a bunch that is supposed to
be the best the country has.
Had to laugh at the football game
yesterday, fellow came around to
sell ice cream cones, and he wanted
10c apiece, so all the fellows stood up
and yelled for him to get out, and
you should have seen jhim go, it
didn't take him long and he didn't
come back to try to sell anything
else. 1t seems as if everybody is try
ing to get the soldiers money. They
have put all the prices up since we
came here, just common buttermilk
is 10c glass.
II / guess / will go and see if / can
rake up some paper and cord at the
carteen and wrap up the pictures.
Hope you are all well, also hope the
snow is shoveled off the hill and
long sidewalk.
With love to all,
