Iowa's New Dog Law.

Another law is now in effect in
Iowa relating to dogs running at
large in country districts. 1t is un-
lawful for dogs to run at large with
in the state between sunset and sun
rise, except dogs while in the chase
or accompanied by their owner or
trainer. In other words country
dogs will be taxed SO cents a head,
and this tax must be paid to the
county auditor who will furnish a
tag bearing the registered number.
This law does not apply to dogs har-
bored within the limits of cities and
towns having their own dog regula-
tions while running at large within
the limits of such city or town. But
farmers owning dogs will have to pay
the tax and comply with the law in
shutting up the animals between sun
set and sunrise.

Talked on Red Gross Work.

There was a meeting of the local
Red Cross at the court house Friday
afternoon. Mr.. and Mrs. j. M. Nc
Donald, of Dubuque were present
and gave talks on the work and
showed samples of Red Cross work
for the benefit of those who might
be interested ii doing some work
along this line.
Mr.. Mcdonald was preceded by
Rev. Paul Koren, the chapter chair
man, who gave a short talk and stat
ed in substance that the Winneshiek
county chapter ought to have 10000
members.
Mr.. Mcdonald called attention to
the great need of hospital garments
in the Red Cross. He pointed to
the fact that whatever is made for
the Red Cross must pass inspection.
For instance a rough spot on a sock
may cause a soldier untold misery,
and that therefore all work that
might be done must be made in ac-
cordance with instruction or in con-
formity with the rules of the depart
ment. The address was very help
full one and those in attendance were
greatly benefited by it.

Business Men VS.. Travelling Men.

A we'll known DEBORAH travelling
man suggested to us the other day
that he would like to see a base ball
game arranged between the local
knights of the grip and DEBORAH
business men. There is plenty of
good material among DEBORAH trav-
cling men and business men to make
up a ball team that would be worth
going miles to see play. This man
suggested also that the receipts of
the game would be turned over for
the benefit of the Red Cross. Now
you business men get busy AID
show the people that Tyrus Cobb is
not the only pebble on the base ball
beach. Take Ben Bear and X. 1.
Haugen, for instance, who are two
of Decorah's Oldest merchants,
wouldn't it be fun to see them bat
ting out homeruns? We think the
suggestion is a good one and the
game should be arranged for soon.

GOLD AND SILVER WANTED.
Local Campaign to be Made for Old
and Discarded Jewelry, Etc.

A plan is being formulated in De-
corah by local people to make col
lection of all gold and silver articles
one may have lying around their
homes that are useless to them.
Naturally this stuff has a money val
ue and can be turned into such very
easily. The United States Army
Young Mems Christian Association
Wants money. 1t needs 100000
from Iowa to assist in carrying on
the work in training camps and at
the front, where the work means so
much part of the religious life at
home.
Lots of subscriptions lists are
about, we know, for one thing and
another, and it is pretty hard for all
to give money each time. But now
if you have any old trinkets in
gold or silver that you do not care
for and wish to give it away, just
save it for local committee, which
will be appointed soon to collect it.
This committee will be announced
next week. OF course they will take
cash money'if you give it, but re-
member they will be thankful for the
old trinkets, ETC., in gold and silver
OF course it doesn't mean that you
are to give away any of your old
family keepsakes, just simply arti.
cles that are of no value to you
Look up these articles now and have
them ready for the committee when
they call.

Winneshiek on European Plan.

From now ON the Wilneshiek ho-
tel will be conducted on the Euro
pean plan, and patrons of the dining
room can now order and pay for just
what they want. A bill of fare of var
led good things to eat, all priced
reasonable, is furnished and the
diner can spend just what he feels
like to satisfy the cravings of the in
ner man. Rooms can be had from
70 cents to $3.50. The dining room
will be open from 6:15 a. m. to a.
m. and from 20 minutes to IL until
1880 and in the evening from 6 to
1880. On Sundays the regular din
ner will be served at 65 cents. This
new arrangement by Landlord
Bailey will no doubt prove very
popular, especially with the business
men, who only care for a lunch at
noon, and the farmers and all tourists
coming to DEBORAH will fad the Win
neshiek a popular place to dine. AS
we said before the prices are reason
able and you have a fine menu to Sc
lect from.

DEBORAH BALL TEAM.
Fast Team Has Been Organized Here
the Past Week.

DEBORAH is going to enjoy a good
base ball team here this summer, and
a number of games have already
been scheduled. Mr.. Laudel, proprie-
tor of the Sweet Shop is on the pitch
ing staff, AID the fact that he is an
ex-leaguer, having been member
of the Detroit Americans, makes the
pitchers department strong.
Another cracker-jack player is
Horace Weiser, and no faster play
er has ever appeared here on local
diamond. He has been member of
the Lawrenceville, New Jersey Col
lege team this year, and the fact that
he got on this team, with 400 appli-
cants in the field is evidence that he
is some player.
The rest of the team is made up OF
good players aid some good games
can be expected.

Will Lee Resigns.

County Engineer Will Lee handed
in his resignation to the board of
supervisors last week, and on August
first leaves DEBORAH for Des Moines,
where he has accepted a good posi-
ton with the Morrison Construction
Co. and will have charge OF. the
bridge work. Mr.. Lee has been the
county engineef of Winneshiek
since 1910 and he has been a good
one too. He knows his business and
has taken care of it, and his services
will be greatly missed. His new po-
sition is a good one and he has an ex-
cellent opportunity to climb still
higher. Mr.. and Mrs. Lee will leave
DEBORAH August first, and it will be
with regret that their many friends
see them go. His successor has not
been appointed yet, but Frank Ar
neson, who has been the efficient
assistant engineer, seems to us would
be good man for the place. He is
accurate and competent.

DRAFT
EXEMPTION BOARD
Continued from first page)

continued from nrSt pager
dent IL the history of the United
States has given little material for
speculation on it's workings. All
that has been given out is that there
is to be no exemption by class; that
farmers, expert mechanics, married
men, and others who had expected
to escape actual services in the field
on the ground that they were need
ed at home would not be set aside
by themselves and told to go on with
their civil life while certain other
classes as such would be herded into
the concentration camps and made
conscript soldiers. The government
has decided that whatever exemption
is allowed will be that of individuals
and that while one farmer may be ex-
empted because it would be bad
business" for Uncle Sam to move
him from his farm and thus curtali
the food output, another may be
elected to carry a gun to European
battlefields because it has been shown
that he is not necessary to produc-
ton in his locality and can be spared.
