GETTING READY
FOR Big SONG week
National Week of Song Will Open in
DEBORAH Week Commencing
Feb. IL. Churches Re-
Quested to Observe the
Week.
AFTER EXPENSES ARE PAID
BALANCE TO HOSPITAL
The Schools Will Give Public Pro-
grams, and Public is Invited
to Visit the Schools on
These Afternoons.

That the National Week of Sons
which begins February II will prove
as enjoyable again this year Jas it was
last, seems to be a foregone coaclu
sion. The committee in charge of the
combined concert on Monday evenin;
reports that the prospects indicat,
even better concert than last year
DEBORAH is favored by an UNUSUAL,
good lot of talent OF no mean ability
The concert last year was a big sur
prise il this respect; and if present
plans do not miscarry, Monday eve
lning's concert on Feb. IS, will re-
veal some bright lights.
We hope to be able to give t.
complete program in these columns
next week. The Committee reports
that the Congregational church has
been secured for this occasion. The
admission for this concert is only ten
cents.
The schools will give free public
programs Tuesday, Wednesday, and
Thursday. The public is urgently in
vited to visit the schools during these
afternoons.
Luther College has also decided to
give a free patriotic program Thurs
day evening, to which the public is
cordially invited. Mention is made of
| thic in anntbo, co1up,y
! Community Singing will occupy
Friday evening, at the Grand Opera
House. The price of admission for
this evening has been changed from
fifteen cents, as announced last week,
to ten cents. This leaves but eight
cents to help pay expenses, as two
cents must go to pay the war tax.
The Luther College band will play
the accomplishments from the stage.
Several requests have been made to
the Committee from people who wish
a favorite song sung. If you have-one,
advise either Prof. Sperati, Emil Ro-
senthal, or Carl Hagen, who have
this entertainment in charge, and it
will be given careful consideration.
There appears to be an erroneous
thought that the National Week of
Song in DEBORAH is done as benefit
for the DEBORAH Hospital. Such is not
the case. The different committees
are doing everything they can that
the public may get the Community
spirit, and get the full enjoyment
that this movement is meant to con-
Igey. Each entertainment is put on as
nearly free as possible for this pur-
pose, and not as a mo1ey-making
scheme, or as a benefit for any in
stitution. Every musical organization
in the city, as we'll as the churches
and schools, make this possible. After
all expenses are paid, should there be
any money still on hand, it will be
donated to the DEBORAH hospital.
The DEBORAH Choral Union will as
sist in the Community singing. The
Secretary of that Organization, in
another column, makes request that
its members meet and practice some
of the songs that will be sung, on
February 4th and 18th. Anyone who
sings is invited and urged to come to
these rehearsals, which includes both
old as well as present members. No
doubt a complete list of the songs to
be sung on Friday evening will be
announced next week.

Gleaninu a La Ruth,

A Kentucky farmer makes to the
Louisville Courler-Journal the sugges-
ton that cleaners should go into the
wheat fields this summer and gather
up every stalk of wheat which the
binder has missed. He estimates that
ten bushels of wheat, or about two bar
rels of flour, would be saved In every
20-acre field.
The custom has been to turn hogs
into the stubble and let them clean up
what the harvesters have left II Is
suggested that while we are trying to
save -four for the prosecution of the
war cleaners instead of pigs should
follow the harvest, as was the custom
In Biblical times.

GET OUT OF THE LIQUOR BUsI.
NESS, UNCLE SAM.

In every honest business transaction
there are three parties concerned, the
seller. the buyer, and the community
generally. The business which gives
profit or gain to one party and feeces
either Of the other two parties Is a
swindle. Test the liquor traffic by this
standard and mark the result. Two
men, Brown and Green, each have one
thousand dollars. Brown spends his
money in whisky. Result: The whisky
seller gets the thousand dollars and
makes profit. Brown has parted with
his thousand dollars and got-nothlng,
plus impaired health, ruined character,
degraded life, and perhaps criminal
record. The community Is improver-
ished by the amount of waste Of wealth
ofIone Of It's members, plus the poverty,
disorder, accident, crime etc, which
attends his drinking, and the conse-
quent taxation involved. Green spends
his money in building n house with
the following results: The builder gets
the money and makes n profit on the
transaction; Green has parted with
his money, but now has house equal
in value to the money, plus the COM
fort, increased advantages, social
standing and credit which attends n
property owner. The community Is
benefited by the wise expenditure Of
one Of its members, together with the
proportion of taxes which the property
will pay. Every citizen is interested
in every new building, no matter who
Is the owner. The legislation which
gives license to waste, and takes
revenue from It. is doing the worst
that can possibly be done for the re-
sources Of my country.-Prof. John A.
Nichols.

Towed Bio Ship on Land.

A 75-horsepower caterpillar, slowly
measuring Its length over the desert
with 40-foot ship In tow, was one Of
the sights of Imperial valley, Cali.
fornla, the other day.
The boat, vessel Of flve-foot draft,
was mounted on skids, en- route from
Salton sea to the railroad at inland,
where II will be loaded onto cars for
shipment to seaport, whence 1t will
sail to Alaska to be used by prospec-
tors.
The historic vessel was brought to
Salton sea when that inland body OF
water was Of larger proportions than
1t Is today and was designed for use
in connection with the fishing indus
try. But the evaporating waters left
the craft high and dry on the silt.

Victory for Auto Owners.

After fighting for 10 years against
the admission Of automobiles to the
island, Nantucket voted recently In
favor of motor vehicles. The contest
was one of the llvellest the town had
had In many years. The final vote was
1886 In favor and 296 against. The mat
ter came up on the question of accept
Ing an act of the legislature, repeating
an act Of 1914 forbiddlng the opera
ton OF motor vehicles. The election
was of more than local interest, for n
considerable part Of the opposition to
automobiles had come from the large
summer colony that goes there from
many parts Of the country.

TWO CARDINALS.

Cardinal Gibbons, America:
81 am opposed to any statewide or
nationwide prohibition measure. A
law Of this kind interferes with the
personal liberty and rights of the peo-
pie and creates hypocrisy on the. part
Of the public. The history Of the
world down to the present time DEM
Onstrates the fact that the people
have and always will indulge in In
toxlcants, irrespective Of any re.
strnining power that 1t Is attempted
TO saddle upon them"
Cardinal Mercler, Belgium:
"You who hold the Christian faith
look around you at those who suffer
from the effect of alcoholism. Can
we be insensible TO the spectacle of
this misery and pass by on the other
side? No, indeed! / am only dis.
charging my duty as a Catholic, as a
priest, as bishop, in coming to coop
crate with you in the struggle against
alcoholism. While waiting for our
government to take action, we have
II right to take action, we have no
right to be inactive. Private initla-
tive should act without delay. And
first of all be educating public opinion,

"If the Lusltania were now floating

manufacture of beer In this country
would furnish fuel for 726 round trips
for the giant ship and transport 2S,-

"Coal used for the manufacture OF
beer in Ohio alone would furnish more

BUILDING THE CACTUS HEDGE.

While In Arizona saw the peculiar
bird caller road runner; and learn
ed that when he meets a rattlesnake,
instead of having a bloody encounter
with him, he begins TO pick or the
cactus and surrounds the snake with
a circle of cactus pieces; then he picks
them up piece by piece and puts them
closer to the snake until the poison
Gus reptile is shut In close place and,
unable TO cross the cactus hedge, he
stings himself to death. That is what
we are doing with the traffic that biteth
like serpent and stingeth like an
adder. We are shutting him up In
close quarters in few wet cities and
n few backward states; and In this
close confinement we are going to let
him sting himself to death.-William

What may prove death blow to
the wine interests of California is
the new plan being advocated by the
vltlculture department Of the Univer.
sity of California to extract sugar from
grapes. Not only will this new proc

of the state but the wine grape grow
ers will have n new market for their
product and their chief reason for OPP
posing prohibition will lose Its force.

THE CHOICE/OF FATS

for frying. Experiments in the labora-
tory of the office of Home Economics
indicate that butter and lard scoroh at a
lower temperature than beef or mutton

HOW TO
WIN SUCCESS
BY EDNA EGAN.

A WOMAN who believes In her
~ self can accomplish things that to
her timid minded sister would bs
impossible. Perhaps nowhere Is conf
dence so essential as in the business
world. and the girl or woman who
aspires to a business career. yet has no
confidence In her ability to succeed, had
better seek some other means Of liveli-
hood.
A seemingly impossible task may CON
front one. but should the person to
whom such a task falls lose confidence
the result nine times out Of ten Is fall
ure. Most difficulties are difficult on
the surface only. Confidence. grit and
common sense arc a trio that can moi
be beaten. Why not apply generous
application of all three to that difficulty
which looms up before you and makes
you faint hearted and almost helpless'
The most successful people in all
lines Of human endeavor are. as a rule
people who believe in themselves. MANY
OF these people had few advantages but
by sheer will power-oonhdence in thcii
ability-they succeeded. Confidence is
needed more today than ever before.
It's an old law. and true one, that
you cannot fl a square peg into a round
hole" Many women are doing. or try.
ing to do, work for which they are moi
fitted The girl who has an apttuds

ously and knows what good lines ara

stenographer she would never reach
very high standard. Such women-the
right women in the wrong work-al
ways lack confidence; yet the wise per
son will study her qualifications and Il
she finds herself not equal to the work
she has accepted. will try to secure

- LAVOR and color have an impor-
tant bearing on the prices which
must be paid for the various ed
ible fats used in the home, since all are
regarded as wholesome when of good
quality, and practically the same amount
of energy is derived by the body from
each. The housekeeper therefore must
decide usually what she is willing to pay
for relatively superficial properties in the
foods. These facts are pointed out in
recent professional paper of the United
States Department of Agriculture. Bull

Use in the Home" prepared by the Of

some instances higher-priced article
may be more economical in the end, as,
for example, clean, sanitary butter, as

satisfactorily the purpose of more ex-
pensive one For example, the chief
use of table oils is as an ingredient Of
salad dressing. and when a character

good grades of cottonseed and peanut
