NEARLY FATAL ACCIDENT.
Delivery Wagon Hit by Train Mon
day. Driver Has Narrow
Escape.

Monday afternoon about five o.
clock an accident occurred at the
railroad crossing at the Rock Island
stock yards, which nearly cost the
life Of Harris Quenrud, delivery
boy for Johnson & Halvorson, the
grocers. Harris was driving south
past the stock yards and drove onto
the tracks, the horse getting over
the tracks, when the incoming Rock
Island freight struck the delivery
wagon square in the center The
boy was thrown onto the pilot of the
engine and he grabbed hold Of the
draw bar and hung on for dear life
the train going about 100 feet from
the crossing, until it stopped The
horse was dragged along for about
fifty feet, when the harness broke,
and let him loose. The poor animal
suffered a broken left hind leg, and
was killed by the section men The
ANNA, was fine bay, rented that
day from Ed. Drew, the Everyman,
and we understand it was ve1y
valuable horse.
The animal fell on the south side
of the track and the wagon was car
ried about fifty feet further on and
fell on the north side of the track
Doctors Barfoot and Conrad We're
called and they attended Mr.. Quen-
rud, and from what we understand
at this writing he suffered two brok-
en- ribs, and several cuts on the
face and his right arm was badly
bruised This is about the first acct
dent we have heard of occurring in
the Rock Island yards here.
1t seems to us that the railroad
companies entering DEBORAH should
be compelled to either place gates at
their crossings. or else signal bells.
Many towns about us have these pre-
cautions, why not DEBORAH. These
matters are always discussed, when
accidents occur, and when the affair
blows over, the matter of future
protection is forgotten. The present
Is a good time to act

Shrouds Have No Pockets.

Shrouds have no pockets. Re
member we pass this way but once
and when we step into the valley OF
the shadow, all our earthly belong
ings will be left behind. Not a COW,
nor a sheep, not an acre of Land or
a dollar of money, will go into the
grave with us. Why then, should
men race thru life in mad struggle
for gold, brushing all the better
things aside, when at last it must be
unloaded at the tomb? Would it not
be better to smile little and do a
few things as we go along? Would
it not be a better plan to put a
flower in the hand OF some sad
hearted human being struggling Oh
the road Of life than to clinch an al
mighty dollar until the cold ant
merciles hand of death forces us t6
relinqush it.

GEORGE Drummer DEAD.
Well Known Contractor and Builder
Passed Away Monday Night.

Monday night at 11:40 o'clock,
another of Decorah's we'll known
citizens, Mr.. George Drummer, pas
sed away, after a four months i'll
ness, having been confined to his bed
a great share of the time for three
months.
Mr.. Drummer was born Dec. 2,
1916, in Sebringsyille, Ontario,
Canada, a son of Jacob and ATargar-
let Drummer. He came to Winnie
shiek county in 1867, and lived here
until death claimed him. On October
10, 1869, he was united in marriage
here to Miss Emma Peterson, who
with two sons and two daughters
survive. One daughter, EValine
passed away when 16 months old.
The surviving children are Mrs A..
Atkinson, Frank and George. De-
corah, and Mrs. c. w. Beamer, of
Wallace. Idaho.
In the death OF Mr.. Drummer De-
corah loses a most excellent citizen.
He was one of the city's well known
contractors and builders here for
many years, and many fine buildings
here are the result OF his work and
supervision. The writer had known
the deceased for many years and we
always found him to be a man OF
the highest integrity and worth,
which gained him the good will and
confidence of all with whom he had
business or social relations, and his
death brings sorrow to all, and the
bereaved wife and children have the
sympathy of many in their loss.
In lodge circles Mr.. Drummer was
a member of the DEBORAH lodge of
Elks, No. 443.
The funeral services will be held
this Wednesday afternoon at four
O'Clock from the home on West Wat
err street. Rev. o. Glesne of the

Never Would Have Married POSTWAR

A clergyman noticing the simple
appearance of the couple he had just
married, decided to give them a few
words of advice.
He explained to the young man
his duties as a husband, and then
told the young lady how she should
conduct herself, winding up with the
old injunction that she must look 10
her husband for everything, aad for
saking father and mother, follow
him wherever he went.
The bride appeared very much
troubled at this, and faltered out:
Must l follow him to every place
he goes?"
YES" said the clergyman; you
must follow him everywhere until
death doth you part"
| "Gracious!" cried the girl II
had known that before, | would new
er have married postmal.

HOW Docs Your Garden Grow.

Mary, Mary quite contrary, how
does your garden grow?" runs the
old rhyme. Now, again, it has be-
come the proper subject of inquiry
as to the well being of the gardens
of the Marys of the land, for never
before in the history Of the country
has there been such widespread IN
terest in the family garden, in pota-
to raising and light farming, says
the Charles City Intelligencer. The
Marys, the Harrys, the Johns and
their elders are all getting up a lit
tie earlier than was their wont a
wear ago and working in the garden
few hours before going to school
or to business. This activity in pro-
ducing their own food stuffs Will be
a splendid experience for the Marys
and others of the land because it
will teach them conservation OF
time, give them opportunity to study
real work at first hand and lend
them health and strength to meet
responsibility in the future. A garden
has proven the inspiration and sal
walton of many tired soul and has
been the path by which many men
and women have climbed to higher
planes of usefulness. The groves
were Gods first temples so may it
be that the garden is the inspiration
for higher and better living.

FOOD FAMINE OR sOOze FAMINE.

Henry Field, scotsman and farmer
and good citizen. complains that in all
the talk Of scarcity OF food products the
main idea seems to be to urge the farm
er to grow more food products and
while agreeing with the main idea Of
the farms as the centers Of produc-
tion, expresses the opinion that the
farmers are about up to capacity with
the present scarcity of labor and are
doing about all that is humanity pos
sible. He says the farmers will do their
part, that we need not worry about that,
but repeats the question that is being
asked from all directions: why not
save some OF the wasting of food prod
ucts? Why continue to destroy six
hundred million bushels of grain that
annually goes into the manufacture Of
BOOZE"
It looks like good sense to Field. How
does it look to you?
Is 1t a sensible thing to spoil 100000
900 bushels of grain that might be used
fon food ana still cry out that famine
Is at our doors?
