SORGHUM FOR WINNESHIEK
Return to Good Old Sorghum Days
Planned.
Farmers OF Winneshiek Asked to
Plant One-half to One Acre of
Sweet Amber Sorghum.

We are planning a great campaign
for the conservation of sugar in Win
neshiek courty by returning to those
good old sorghum days, and / want
to invite every farmer to plant y to
one acre of sweet amber sorghum.
This seed can be secured from the
Adams Seed Co. ard one to two
pounds is required per acre.
Any soil that will grow corn will
grow sorghum, but newly grubbed
land is the best. 1t yields from to
Is tons per acre, and tom of cane
should yield from 1 5 to 80 gallons of
finished syrup. Thus you have a
yield of from 70 to $50 gallons per
acre, depending upon! its richness.
Do you see what this amounts to
when everybody plants just a small
patch. We have six mills located
Some have offered to donate their
machines free Of charge. These mills
will move from place to place urtil
all are Accommodated IL acres have
already been volunteered. Let us

FOR SCHOOL DIRECTOR.
Will +. Baker, Cashier National Bank
of DEBORAH, a Candidate.
Is Highly Qualified for the Position
And Will Render Good Service

The election of a school director
for the Independent School District
of the city of DEBORAH will be held
next Monday to elect a director to
fill the place now held by DR.. H. H.
Green, who will not be a candidate
for the office this year, and Mr.. Will
F. Baker, assistant cashier of the
National Bank of DEBORAH will be one
of the candidates. Mr.. Baker is a
citizen who hardly reeds an intro
ductio1 to our people, as he is so
well and favorably known, but little
resume of his business qualifications
will not be amiss il this instance
Mr.. Baker was graduated from the
Upper Iowa University at Fayette in,
the class of 1898, and is now men,
Der of the board of trustees of that
institution. In the capacity OF trus-
tee he has become more or less fami-
liar with educational work, which is
an asset, especially in determining
the best policy to be pursued in con-
ductirig schools 1t is a financial
problem as we'll as an educational
problem to establish a we'll balanced
system of public school education
1t is well then for the patrons of this
district to elect to Office gentleman
| who Inv nact oypar;opoo opd +ra.,.-, 49,
is now fitted to serve in capacity
that involves the employment of
competent reliable teachers as well
as the expenditure of public funds
Mr.. Baker has served for many
years as assistant cashier of the
National Bark of DEBORAH. This ex-
perie1ce has given him an oppor-
tunity to study finarre and business
problems, which are necessary adj
juacts in the office to which he as
pires. His services as mayor of De-
corah for two terms has given him
a working knowledge of the admins
tration of local public affairs and the
public schools belong to one of that
class.
Perhaps it is well to mention the
fact that Mr. Baker aspires to this
position without prejudice, without
promises and with no AK to grind; he
has no friends to reward nor enemies
to punish.
He believes that the Office of di-
rector is public trust.
No issue is involved in this elect
ton. If elected he will assume the
duties of the Office with eye single to
one purpose, namely, to assist the
other members of the board in mold
ing and shaping the public schools of
DEBORAH so that their patrons will re-
ceive just reward for the money ex-
pended in maintaining the public
schools.
We feel that the foregoing is ample
proof OF his fitness to serve as direct
tor. 1t may also be said that he has
five children attending the public
schools of DEBORAH. Therefore, he
is personally interested IL maintain
ing schools of excellence.

Misunderstood the Teacher.

Refusal of pupil to go to school
at Hastings, Neb., recently because
the teacher had Threatened to throw
him into the furnace caused prompt
parental investigation. Finally the
teacher remembered telling the boy
that unless he worked harder she
would drop him from the register.
The only register the lad knew any
thing about was the hot air register
connected with the furnace.
