WRITES FROM BIsMARK N. ID.
Arnie Wick, DEBORAH Boy, Says Iowa
Is Iowa Wherever You Go.

Below we print a short letter
from Arne Wick, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. X. A. Wick, of this city, who
is a travelling salesman now for
Swift & Co. with territory through
North Dakota. His headquarters
ARE at jamestown, N. d.

Dear Editor:
Just thought I would drop you
a few lines. | receive the Public
Opinion every week, which l enjoy
reading very much. The prospects
for big crop this year are good
/ enjoyed visit from my father
today. We visited the penitentiary
this afternoon. They have the hon
or system there and the prisoners
can talk to each other at any time
and there are no guards over them
where they work At the present
time there are only about $50 per-
sons there. They have several
'lifers" and they have their cells
all decorated with pictures, pen
nantS, etc., and the cells are kept
very neat. The cells are quite
wide and they have pretty good
light. They have a base ball dia-
mond and about three times a week
they play base ball They have
a picture show or something in the
line of entertainment twice week
They also have a greenhouse and
tha grounds ara covered with foWar
beds, etc. Irvine is made at this
penitentiary. The prisoners have
only one big objection and that is
they can't go and come when they
please.
There are quite a few DEBORAH
people in North Dakota, but so far
have seen only three or four
North Dakota is fine place to live,
but Iowa is Iowa wherever you go.
AS ever, Arne Wick.

Last Friday morning the thirty
two Winneshiek county soldier boys
who left here on the seven o'clock
Rock Island met six trainloads of
soldiers at Oelwein. The soldiers
got off the train at Oelwein to
drill to get little exercise, and in
one company were two Decofah
boys, Raymond Hjerleid and
Claire Mckinney. Bobby Hargrea-
yes, who left here with the con-
tingent Friday recognized the boys,
and he got near enough to them
to shake hands, say hello and good
bye. The boys did not tell where
they were bound for. Robert tele-
phoned the news about meeting
the boys home to their relatives,
as they didn't know the boys were
to be sent at the present time from
their camp at Vancouver, Wash.
Later telegram received yes
terday by c. e. Mckinney stated
that the boys were at Camp Mer-
rift, New Jersey. Harold Mckinney
is still at Vancouver, Wash.

Made a Fine Display.

Sometime ago the government re-
quested Supt. Fleming of the high
school to make display of pro-
ducts from the domestic science
of food made from
potatoes instead of flour. This
was done and the display of diff
ferent food articles was shown in
Bears store. A great many have
Saturday, attracting all kinds Of
attention. 1t certainly looked fine,
and we believe was as good as it
looked. The receipts for the diff
ferent things can be secured at
Bears store. A CHEAT any have
made copies of them. The
idea is to save wheat and use po-
tatoes, as it is estimated we have
bushels of potatoes on
hand in the country now.

LIBERTY DAY WAS GREAT.
DEBORAH and Winneshiek People
Showed Loyalty Last Friday.

Liberty Loan Day was celebrated
in DEBORAH last Friday, and one OF
the biggest and best loyal pro-
grams yet was carried out. A big
parade was held, which formed at
the st. Cloud corner headed by the
Luther college band, faculty and
students, the DEBORAH schools, fire
department, city officials, Red Cross
chapter and units of the different
wards, Liberty Loan solicitors,
veterans of the G. A. r., city band,
Luren Singing Society, and citizens.
The parade was about eight
blocks long, and was one of the
largest and best ever held here.
The procession marched and counter
marched through Water street,
winding up at the court house
square where the band under Prof.
Sperati played number of patriot
ic airs.
ohC pau iotiC piSSS PiiyCo ny
the band, the children joined in
and sang, and the way they held
up their end showed them true
young patriots. 1t was a fine fea-
ture. Those in charge of the af-
fair are to be highly complimented.
In the evening fine address was
delivered at the Grand by Judge
Kintzinger, of Dubuque, and the
opera house was packed to the
guards. The Judge gave an address
that was full of interest from
start ito finish. He is a fine speaker
and showed in every sentence that
he is a true blue American patriot
He held the audience with the
closest attention every minute of
the time, and certainly scored the
Huns to a standstill.
The great interest taken in the
Liberty Day program by our peo-
pie proved that our people are 10y
al to the last, and the way the
Third Liberty Loan has gone over
the top shows that slackers in this
community are few and far between.

UP FOR BOARDING FLOUR.
II. II. ABBEY OF THIS CITY IN
HANDS OF FOOD ADMINS
TRATION.
Flour Taken From His Home.
Found Also That He Had
Bought No Substitutes.

Sometime ago the government is
sued orders against the boarding of
flour, and told the people the a.
mount they were entitled to have.
Nevertheless some people took it
for granted that they could slip
one over on Uncle Sam and get
away with it. But a good many
have come to grief in the attempt
Yesterday a DEBORAH man, E. r.
Abbey, ran up against the stern
hand of Uncle Sam, for boarding
-four. His home was visited by
Food Administrator c. ]. Weiser
and six times the amount of flour
he was rightfully entitled to was
found and it was returned to the
grocer.
Food Administrator Weiser
says it is the only case he has had
of boarding in the homes, but sever
al others are under investigation.
In checking up tie merchants it
could not be found where Mr.. Abb
hey had purchased a pound of sub
stitutes.
1t is high time that people learn
ed that this law wasn't to play
with Uncle Sam knows his bust
ness and lie is going to run his
business. He isn't asking anything
unreasonable, and when the govern
ment asks the people to obey GER
tain demands during this war, it
is expected we will comply and we
should comply. We don't want
the Germans to break through and
come over here, and they are not
going to either, when we stand as a
united nation. We don't want any
weak posts in the fence.
If these posts appear they are
going to be removed, so it is well
for every man to stand on a solid
foundation. Be with your govern
ment first, last and always.
Next Monday meeting of the
State Food Administrators will
take place in Des Moines and Mr..
Abbey will be taken there and
dealt with according to law, and
will learn something about the Sc
crets of saving -four.
