Light Company's Affairs.

A reorganization of the interests
back of the electric light and power
business in Cresco and adjoining
towns has been going on for some
time past. The Interstate Power Co.
which owns the Cresco. DEBORAH and
Waukon plants has been consolidated
with the Interstate Power Co. of
Wisconsin. Very little information
has been permitted to get to the upb-
lie, but it is likely very important
transactions are being carried on and
perhaps little will be known till the
reorganization is completed. 1t is
recalled that about next September
the twenty year franchise granted by
the citizens of Cresco expires and the
question of extending the franchise
or other disposition of the matter
will have to be determined soon.-

Butter Has Taken DrOp.

Butter has taken quite a tumble in
price during the past week or two
On Monday the price dropped to 1 4
cents a pound at the DEBORAH cream
cry. Last week it was selling at SO
cents. Most of the grocers get mar
gin of 3 cents a pound, so it would
make butter retail around AZ cents
this week. This drop is certainly
welcome to the consumer of butter
and the price is still strong enough
for the poor mans pocket book. But
it is welcome change from the price
butter has sold here during the past
few months. At one time it was up to
70 cents. There is no accounting for
the drop this week, and it is said
that the indications are that it will
go up in price again.

Chris BendicksOn Dead.

Sunday morning about four o.
clock Chris Bendickson passed away
at the home of Truls Berg, in the
south part of the city, where he had
been staying. The deceased suffered
a stroke Of paralysis some years ago,
and last December suffered a second
and on Sunday the third
stroke, which caused his death. Mr..
Bendickson was born in Norway "a
years ago, and he came to this
country when young man and had
been a resident here for more than
thirty years. During his first years
here he worked at farming, and for
a number of years before his death
worked in DEBORAH as a cement side
walk builder, having been in the en-
ploy for number of years of Fred
Carlson. The funeral services were
held yesterday afternoon from the
Berg home. Rev. Glesne officiated
and interment was in the Norwegian
cemetery.

GYMNASIUM BUILDING SOLD.
Purchased Monday by the Congre-
gatiOnal Church People for
$1,000

The property known as the Decor
ah Gymnasium, the former John
Breckenridge Institute building, was
sold by the Winneshiek County State
Bank as trustee last Monday. Mr.. H.
A. Warner, acting for the trustees of
the Congregational church purchased
the property, paying $1,000 for it..
The Congregational church people
will use the building in the future,
in making use of it for the young
folks, holding church suppers, etc.
1t is an excellent piece of property,
in close proximity to the church, and
will prove a very valuable piece of
property.
The building was purchased a few
years ago by popular subscription
and was fixed up for a gymnasium,
but this died out after a while and
the building had been idle for some
time. After the Indebtedness on it
has been paid off, which amounts to
some $1100 the balance of the
money will be turned over to the
City Park.

The fascinating
shown in the sketch

IF THE war had been prolonged one
hesitates to think how amazingly
large handbags would have become.
They were getting larger daily. We
had them large first so that we could
carry our knitting with us to make
use of the minutes between the acts at
the theatre, waiting for meals and
trains and persons who dallied in keep
ing appointments. Then we had them
even larger. so that we could show
our patriotism as the merchants urged
us to by carrying small packages home
with us. In France women had large
bags because they never knew when
they went out of an evening whether
an mir raid might not come up in the
evening. It was infinitely more con
vcnipnt in that state of doubt as to
whether or not one could get home at
night to have ones night attire and
fxings along with one.
And over here we became accus-
toned to the larger bags and we some
how felt that carrying large one had
something to do with being patriotic.
So we went on getting larger and large'
bags and then the war stopped. And
with the coming of peace returned a
vogue for smaller bags.
They are net absurdly small. these
smaller bags, but they are not large
enough to carry home the meat for
dinner nor stocking to knit while
you wait for change nor yet to carry
YOUR robe de mutt with you, but they
will hold without crowding once hand

kerchicf, folding pencil or pen, coir
purse and possibly n small check book
with the always essential powder puff
and mayhap lpstick.
Against the wiles of pickpockets bags
that hang upon your wrist always have
an advantage over those that have
merely fingerstrap. For it is one
thing to snatch bag from your fingers
and another to get the strap over. ones
wrist and arm. However, the strap
purse is coming into favor. In the
sketch there is one newly produced
strap purse of envelope design.
Although beads are still popular and
velvet is in favor sthe newest purses
seem to be made of silk. Some Of
these are heavy Japanese silks. One
strap purse shown here at the left
has a plum blossom design in the
Japanese silk.

EATING TO LOSE FLESH ABOUT
Please Tell Me
What to DO
Tanners Act One OF Glory
BY CYNTHIA


Dear Cynthia-Noting Critics
comment In this evenings paper in
your column, could not resist ex-
pressing my opinion on the act of that
man in Chicago who gnve up his life
with that of his wife.
To my mind it was one Of the finest,
bravest things I have ever heard Of.
In this day, when love is such an un :
certain quantity and SO Heeting, espe-
cially after marriage, 1t stands out in
all its glory. 1t would not have been
a sacrifice or rather so great one to
live on without a wife and care for
the children, as in that case he would
most certainly have married again and
would have derived all the pleasure out
of life that other men do.
Such love is a novelty in this day
and age. 1t seems scarcely day
passes that l do not read of an an
guished, broken hearted woman in your
column seeking your help in her mar :
ried wretchedncss. -
1t inspires one with faith to hear
OF such a grand, courageous act.
For shame, those who condemn a man
for acting on such beautiful i'm
pulse! "WRATEFUL."
Who agrees?
