corah some seven years ago, the hus-
band taking the position of butter
maker at the DEBORAH creamery.
Three daughters were born to the
union, one passing away when a
year and one-half old. The surviv-
ing ones are Esther and Oline who
with the bereaved husband and faith
er have the sympathy of many in
their loss. She is also survived by
two sisters, Mrs. o. M. Olson, OF

made it a happy one, and was de-
voted to her husband and children,
and in her passing the community

Frank Paterka Dead.

The sad news reached Robert
Schwarz Saturday evening of the
death of his nephew Frank Paterka
that morning in Moscow, Idaho. He
died after short illness from infiu-
enza and pneumonia. Frank was the
son of Mr.. and Mrs. /. j. Paterka
and was born in DEBORAH Oct. II,
1898. About nine years ago the
family left here for the west, and the
home had been in Republic, Wash.
for some time past. Previously to
going to Republic they lived in
Spokane, WASH, where Frank gradu-
ated from the high school. He then
took a position with the government
on the forest range in Washington
and he made exceptionally good at
this work, and for the last year was
assistant chief of the forestry work
in that division.
Last September he went to Mos
COW, Idaho, where he entered the
University of Moscow, and was a
member of the S. A. T. G. In this
work, as in his forestry work, he was
making good, was working hard, and
was the making of an ideal soldier.
He, was possessed of an excellent
education and had a very bright
future before him. His death coming
just in the bloom of young manhood
is a severe shock to his parents and
friends here, and the sympathy OF
all is extended to them. The funeral
services were held in Moscow.

METHODIST MEN GIVE BANQUET
One of the Most Enjoyable Affairs
of the Year Held at Nj. II. Church
Friday Evening.

Last Friday evening one of the
most enjoyable affairs of the year
was held at the M. e. church. The
men of the church and congregation
gave a banquet in honor of DR.. Frank
Cole, of Davenport, who delivered a
lecture on the world war at the
Congregational church at the con-
clusion of the banquet, and also in
honor of the chairmen Of the differ
ent wards of the city and townships
Of the war council Of Winneshiek.
The banquet was given in the
basement Of the church. OF course
the tempting menu was prepared by
the ladies of the church and it was
banquet that drew forth the hearty
appreciation of every man who had
the honor and privilege of sittin :
at the we'll filed tables. Rev. ]. b.
Torrison delivered the invocation.
The menu consisted of tomato soup,
roast chicken, mashed potatoes,
brown gravy, vegetables, cake, coffee,
and ice cream. The service was par
excellence and those responsible for
it were given high praise.
! The men of the M. r. church pro-
vided the banquet and invited the
guests, and to them the thanks OF
the banqueters are extended. 1t was
an affair that brought many creeds
together and the feeling OF good
fellowship was evident everywhere
throughout, and the right kind OF
goodfellowship was proudly in EVIL
dence. At the conclusion of the ban
quet five minute talks were given
| by number of our prominent
citizens, on subjects pertaining to
various war activities, which had
special reference to the big drive
made last Sunday for the United
War Work campaign carried out
Dr. Conover acted as POSTMASTER
and introduced the following speak
ers who gave most interesting talks

At the conclusion of the talks the
banqueters repaired to the Congre'
gational church and listened to Dr.
Cole give a fine and interesting adj
dress on his experience in France
He held the attention of the bic
audience every minute of the tims
and his first hand information OF
things over there made his talk ex
ceedingly valuable to his audience
1t was an evening that all who
had the pleasure of enjoying will
long remember.

French Popular Tongue.

Mount Vernon, Ia.-Everybody
wants to know French. The excess
sive demand for this language at
Cornell college has led to the employ
ment of an additional teacher. Miss
A. Louise Smyth, graduate OK
Smith college with NJ A. from
Columbia university, arrived this
week from Nutley, n. j., where she
has been teaching. The effect of the
war on French popularity is seen in
a comparison of the enrolment for
the past three years: 1915, in beg
ginning French, 81; 1917, in beg
ginning French, 116; 1918, in beg
ginning French, 224.
