A HANDSOME STORE.
DEBORAH Coat & Suit Store i'm Modern
Home Now.

Mr.. d. E. Reed, owner of the
building occupied by the DEBORAH
Coat & Suit Store has just completed
a remodeling Of the building, and
it is now one of the finest and most
up-to-date retail stores in Iowa.
Contractor A. R. Coffeen had the
contract for remodeling the store
The new front put in is a strictly
metropolitan front. The entrance is
twelve feet deep and about fifteen
wide, with beautiful display windows
on both sides, which are most at
tractive.
The floor of the entrance is hand
some white and gray tile, laid by
Fred Carlson. The deep marble base
below the windows also adds much
to the richness of the entrance. The
windows are brilliantly lighted which
gives permission for a beautiful
and attractive display of garments.
The interior of the store has UNI
dergone a complete change also. A
new steel ceiling has been placed, also
a new hot water plant Installed.
Handsome new rugs adorn the floors
and the arrangement for the display
Of goods is all that could be desired.
Miss Ethel Cole, the manager of
the store, has been receiving the
n LOT inna 0f
friends on the elegant appearance of
the store, which is a credit to the
city and the proprietors.
The store building has been en-
larged greatly also. In the rear of
the store up-to-date fitting rooms
have been installed, and everything
made as convenient as possibls for
the customers.

RESCUED FROM CISTERN.
Two Women Form Human Chain
and Pull Child From Water

Boone, Ia.-When playing with
a neighbor child in vacant lot next
to the home of her aunt, Mrs. Loren
Abel, in Jefferson, Mary Frances
Haywood, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Claude Haywood, 1411 Second street
stepped into an abandoned cistern
and was very nearly drowned.
The little girl had gone to Jeffer-
son to visit and only an old platform
covered the cistern, and no one
knew that it was there. Apparently
Mary Frances had lifted the cover
aside, and. stepped into the cistern.
The other child ran into the house
and called Mrs. Abel, who with the
aid of neighbor lady, pulled the
child from the well.
Just how deep the cistern is, is not
known, but it was filled with water
and filth within three feet of the
top. The little enc was unconscious
when rescued, but was quite serious
ly ill for several hours afterward.
Her condition is improved today.
1t is said that only the child S
face appeared above the water when
Mrs. Abel looked into the cistern.
The neighbor woman, holding Mrs.
Abel by the feet, lowered her over
the edge of the well so that she
managed to catch hold of the child.

Memorial Day Has New Interest.

Memorial services of the Grand
Army of the Republic this year will
everywhere be given a new interest
by the presence of the boys in olive
drab who did their share in the
great World war, says the New
Hampton Gazette.
The graves of these youths will
be decorated, too, AM hearts that
knew not the blight of war from the
experiences of '61-'65 will have it
borne in upon them by this ceremony
OF bedecking with garlanas the last
resting places Of the heroes Of 1918.
Returned soldiers will have the
place of honor in these ceremonies,
which, is fitting rec )snition Of the
valor they have shown as OIL ma
tion's latest defenders
Though not the time MOI place to
discuss the question Of future wars,
We can but wonder what the sight
OF khaki youth and blue clad age,
ranked side by side around their
comrads' graves, will do to stir the
hearts Of lads of tendec years. In the
scene there exists no doubt the
teaching Of a common purpose to
defend our country against every
foe to the death, if need bc.
Each generation fof Eearly one
hundred and fifty years has had its
heroes in our land. The boys Of lI!6
established our independence, those
of 1912 were the heroes OF a new
generation and second time made
good that independence. The Mexican
war in the 40's saw renewed de-
votion, and then in 81 the fearful
;nternecine conflict ont of witch the
greatest soldiers organiZat ton in the
world-the Grand Army of the Re-
public. Thirty-three years more and
our youth were called to drive de-
spotism from our shores and Cuba
was made free. The passing Of yet
q score of years saw rs engaged in
putting down a force that threaten
ed, with it's great military machine,
The life of our nation.
Five wars in less than a century
and half have little to convince
us that the plague of armed ComIat
is to pass away now forever
1t is a time for sober, serious
thought on the part of all citizens.
For ourselves, hating war as we do,
We can see no way except to train
our boys to do their work if the
future calls them to the battle field.

1919 is No Year For Idle Acres.

Regardless of temporary market
fluctuations, and no matter how
much live stock the farmers in
America are able to put on the mar
ket next fall, the demand will I'M
doubtedly continue to be so great
that the prices will be extremely
profitable.
This is true because, regardless
of the fact that peace is supposed
to reign now in Europe, brotherly
love is far from being a habit as
yet and some OF the little nations
created by the peace conference are
so keen to keep on fighting that
they haven't time to settle down and
enjoy their new independence.
Besides this the milk herds and
the breeding stock, among the
swine, beef cattle and sheep, have
been killed off for food, so that it
II take at least another season be-
fore Europe will be able to produce
anywhere near enough meat and
other foodstuffs to affect seriously
the prices that Americas farmers
are getting for everything that they
can raise.
Under these conditions, it is the
limit Of folly for any farmer to let
single acre lie idle that can be
made to produce crops this year

NAPKINS.

Table napkins were in use long be-
fore some of the other accessories
which we consider indispensable to-
day. Before forks came to be known,
men had TO use their fingers in pre-
pairing sleir food; hence the ancient
common habit of frequently passing
the basin of water and its accompany
Ing napkin for wiping the hands. It
now seems incredible that forks were
not customary until the seventeenth
century.

kept secret" This oath is respected
by every court in the world, and rare
