DEBORAH Bows at Lake City.

A copy of the Lake City, Mime
sofa, Graphic Republican reaches
our desk, and we observed couple
of items of interest to Decorahians,
concerning Geo. r. Hill and Arnold
Gilbertson, former employees Of the
Public Opinion Office. George Hill
was in an automobile accident. In
company with three other gentlemen
he was returning to Lake City from
Wabasha, where they had attended
a farewell reception to soldier boys.
They were driving high powered
Stutz car, which skidded and turned
over an embankment. One of the
men was killed instantly, and George
and the other two escaped injury
outside of severe shaking up.
Another item states that a drum
corp was organized, with Arnold
Gilbertson as drum director. Geo.
Hill is also member of the corps
and plays a fife.

paid several hundred dollars to the

classification for mis- son., was called
before the board and given severe
grilling. Hoxsie acknowledged that
there was absolutely no foundation
for the statements, and filed a
written apology with the board re-
tracing every statement.
1t is reported that several others
near Marcus who aided in circulat-
ing the report are also secluded for
a session before the doard
A man near LeMars, accused of
similar statements, has been bound

MAIL FOR BOYS AT FRONT.
Postoffice Department Asks Grea err
Care in Writing Addresses.

Postofice officials emphasize the
Importance of including company,
regiment and division on every let
ter addressed to France. When the
army postoffice number is known, 1t
should be included also, they say.
Fully % per cent of the mail re-
ceived for the boys over there is
insufficiently addressed, and this ac-
counts to large extent for the de-
lays and LOSSES which have occur
red in the delivery of mail to the
evolutionary forces.
Putting the division number on
the envelope helps materially in
sorting the mail after it reaches
France, officials say.

DO you LIKE RABBIT?
DEBORAH Man Rising Many of Them
for Sale. Make Good Meat.

Ridiculous as Belgian hare craze
was made by the photographers and
.humorists, all their fun did not
change the truth of the matter that
Belgian hares can be depended on
to supply food for the town family
more amply than flock of chickens,
and they are no more expensive
unless they are permitted to increase
in numbers without check
Perry Rima, of DEBORAH, has been
raising large number, and they
meet with ready sale. Call on him
at his residence, or drop him card,
and he will give you prices. They
make fine eating and are reasonable
in price.
How fast they multiply is shown by
one example quoted in a Pittsburg
paper, which says: "A woman who
bought pair two months ago now
has eighteen in her warren. Soon
after she brought the original couple
home the rabbit family was increased
by five and few days ago eleven
more made their appearance-and are
now making inroads on the supply
of cornmeal bought under the regu-
lation requiring the purchase of an
equal amount of substitutes when
-four is ordered. But if two hares
become eighteenth two months what
may eighteen become by Christmas?"

APPLE BUTTER WITHOUT SUGAR
Grandmother's Way Was to Use Sor-
ghum Instead.

With apple butter time coming and
no sugar, it might be good idea to
remember that grandmother used to
make apple butter without sugar
when she lived in Benton county or
Whereabouts long before the Civil
war. Instead of sugar, she used
sorghum molasses. With an album
dance of sorghum in Iowa this year,
it might be utilized to save the sur
plus apples on the farm.
If you have forgotten just what
proportions of apples and sorghum
grandmother used as she cooked the
apples and then added the sorghum
after running the apples through a
coander, the two following recipes
reported by a home demonstration
may prove a good substitute:
A. 4 cups cooked apples
/ cup sorghum
Cinnamon bark and other
spices to suit taste
Cook slowly
B. / gal. cooked apples
1 cup sorghum
Sweet cider and spices to suit
taste.
Cook slowly

LIEUT.. MADsEN TAKES BRIDE.
United in Marriage Here, Saturday
Evening to Miss Elsie
Haakenson


The marriage of two prominent and
well known young people of DEBORAH
was soleminized at the Synod church
Saturday evening at $50 O'Clock,
when Miss Elsie Caroline Haakenson
BECAME the bride of First Lieutenant
Norman A. Madsen. The ceremony
was performed by Rev. l. B. Tori
son. Miss Elsie Naeseth was the
bridesmaid and Miss Emma Jewell
maid of honor. Prof. Enoch Peter
son, of Luther college was best man.
After the ceremony the bridal
party repaired to the home of the
brides mother where wedding sup
per was served to relatives only of
the contracting parties and few
intimate friends.
The bride is a daughter Of Mrs. NJ.
Haakenson of this city, and is one
OF Decorah's fairest daughters.
For sometime past she has been one
of the corps of efficient employees
of the Winneshiek County State
Bank, and is a prime favorite in
large circle of friends.
The groom is a graduate of Luther
College in the class of 1911. He was
ordained minister of the gospel,
and for year was stationed at
Hibbing, Mimi, afterward taking up
a professorship at Luther. Last June
he enlisted his services in the army
going to Camp Dodge, and from there
to school for chaplains in Louis
Vile, KY, and finished there with
the title of First Lieutenant. He is
gentleman most highly esteemed
by everyone here who ever had the
pleasure of his acquaintance.
n On Sunday afternoon an informal
reception was held at the home of
the brides mother, which was at
tended by many friends, and con-
gratulations and best wishes were
showered on Lieutenant Madsen and
his bride for happy journey
through life.
Lieutenant Madsen departed Mon
day night for Camp Jackson, S. G.
where he will be in charge of a
regiment as chaplain. Mrs. Madsen
accompanied him as far as Chicago
She will return this week and resume
her position in the bank, until her
husband returns.

Wartime Bags of Peanuts.

A somewhat notorious character,
quite well known among the lawyers
of Waverly says the Waverly Repub-
lican, got himself arrested-almost
this week. There was reason:
The fellow took very small bag OF
peanuts from the rooster at one Of
the stands and walked away. The
engineer in charge of the machine
hailed him back and asked whether
he had not forgotten something. The
answer was, mot that l know of"
Then he was told to pay for the pea
nuts. He acted innocently surprised
and said he thought those were
samples; he wanted to sample them
and If they were alright he was go
ing to buy a nickle's worth in the
near future. Without much argu-
ing the engineer made the fellow
come across. You really can't blame
the fellow. The wartime bags of pea
nuts are SO feeble and light.

Keep Your Chickens Within an
Enclosure.


BY Section Z of Ordinance number
XXXIII of the City Ordinance of De-
corah, Iowa, (Which ordinance pro-
hibits domestic animals or fowls
from running at large in the city,
a fine Is provided for allowing ami
mails or poultry to run at large.
Section provides as follows:
Any person who shall permit any of
the domestic misunderstanding
in this ordinance to
run at large or off the property of
its owner shall be guilty of a mis-
misdemeanor and subject to a fine
of not more than 500, or subject to
be committed to the county Jail for
term not to exceed 80 days"
Many complaints are coming to me
of persons allowing their chickens
to run on the gardens, or fields OF
others in the city, and destroying the
vegetables growing in these gardens,
or fields.
All persons are hereby notified
that when proper complaint is filed
with me, warrant of arrest will be
issued, and the offenders brought in
for trial, and in case of guilt being
shown, fine or Jail sentence will be
imposed. Every effort has been made
from the head OF the government of
the United States down to towns and
villages, to induce people to plant
gardens so as to increase the sum
total of foodstuffs during the war,
and no one should be allowed to per-
NIT chickens, or other domestic, ami
mails to destroy the gardens which
have been planted and titled in re-
Spouse to the government request.
Govern yourselves accordingly.

obeying Work or Fight Order.

Was it on the rooster or on the
hen? Down in Delaware township,
Sac county, rooster drove a setting
hen from her nest and undertook TO
do the incubating himself. The cir
cumstance leads the Sac County Bull
letin to the conclusion that 1t was de-
sire on the part OF the rooster to
comply with the fight or work
order that led him to usurp the hens
throne.

The Keokuk Gate City says: "The
apprehension of some excellent peo-
pie that the vast preponderance of
women school teachers was having
the effect of feminizing the boys Of
our land seems happily without foun-
dalton. Certainly we have sent no
sissy-boys to France, tho it is prob
ably within the fact to say that a
major part of our soldiers have had
much or all of their schooling under
school ma ANS"

one-fourth the way around the world
from us. When we are eating dinner,
they are eating supper. At supper
time here, it is midnight over there
and when We are sleeping scundiy at
midnight they are just getting out IF
bed for the duties of the new day.
