NEW MISSION idea
Southern Methodist Church to Ap-
point Many Workers To
New Field

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept. 10
Home Mission Council, representing
a number of Protestant denomina-
tions in the United States, has selec-
ted Montana as practicable field fol
trying out a new Missionary policy
At a meeting held by the Council
in New York last January, it was de-
cided to survey some state with thi:
purpose in view, and a committee was
selected to take charge of the project
and put ON the survey.
This has been carefully done anc
Montana was the field selected. The
survey showed population in the
state of 100000 with $4,000 church
members, representing nine Protest
ant denominations: the Northern Bap
tist and severa branches of the
Methodist and Presbyterian churches.
A called meeting of che Home Mis-
sion Secretaries of the denominations
doing work in Montana was recently
held in Butte, and after days of con-
ference they agreed to divide the ter
ritory between their respective
churches. Bishop H. M. Dubose and
c. l.. McCausland, Presiding Elder of
Montana District, represented the M.
E. Church, South.
Each church was made absolutely
responsible for the territory assigned
and it was mutually agreed that no
other church will be allowed to enter
it. Between twenty-five or thirty ad-
1ltlonal towns were given the M. E.
Church, South, in addition to those
already in operation.
Bishop H. M. DuBose will have the
episcopal supervision of this Confer
nee and is very much enthued over
he movement. The Centenary Move
nent, through which the Southern
lethodlst Church reased $53,OOO,OOO
vii make it possible to send new
Missionaries to this field.
This movement is experimental.
should it prove practicable and fruit
I'll OF good results, the plan may be
dopted In other Episcopal districts.

FLAG DAY.
Let Every Home in Decoran Show
Its Loyalty to the American
Ideal by Showing Its COlOrs


Cold and scholastic philosophers
sometimes argue that flag is only
a textile fabric. Why then, they say,
should the twentieth century peo-
pie think that a banner made of red.
white and blue stars and stripes is
any better than any other combina-
ton of forms and colors?
Yet the fact remains that on the
battle fields, men fight with the
abandon of desperation to save that
red, white and blue bit of cloth
from trailing in the ground. The flag
stands for ones home town, for
dear friends one has left behind,
for all the tie of unity that binds
together the various sections of q
great and achieving country.
The man from Texas and the man
from Maine are a long way apart
in distance. Quite frequently they
disagree on political history and
economic philosophy. But let those
two men get together in Germany or
in BOrneo or Japan, and they find
that they think alike and that their
interests are identical They bow in
reverence to the same bit Of red,
white and blue. They will stand
back to back and fight for it and for
their common interest.
And as the years go on, the sect
ions come closer together. When the
man from Florida hears that the
man from Oregon has accomplished
this or that deed of triumph in
some far off land, he is almost as
proud of it as if he did it himself.
So the flag stands for the Ameri-
can idea and it is dear to every Am
erican. 1t means so much that Flag
Day has come to be a widely re-
cogniZed occasion. On June IA,
1877 Congress adopted the present
emblem of stars and stripes as the
United States flag. Let every school
celebrate the occasion as one bind
! ing American sentiment together,
and let every home in DEBORAH re-
cognize its loyalty to the American
ideal by showing its colors.
On the evening of Flag Day the
DEBORAH lodge OF Elks will hold APP
| propriate exercises at their lodge
rooms. Hon. d. d. Murphy, OF
Elkader, will be here and deliver an
address. The services are free and
the general public is cordially invited
to attend.

INTO CHICKEN BUSINESS.
Eight Lots Purchased on West Side
to be Used for Chicken Farm.

Last week Albert Christen & Son
the real estate men, sold eight lots
belonging to D. Wilson to Frank and
Ella Houck. The lots are southeas:
of Luther College.
Mr.. and Mrs. Houck have been
raising a large number of chickens.
They have an incubator and Matched
out about 500 chicks already this
year. In some instances they fur
nished eggs to different parties and
Matched them out, and each chick
brought Is cents each. They were
taken when "A to As hours old.
With the new ground acquired by
the Houcks they will erect a number
of coops and fence the lots in and
raise chickens on a large scale.
With eggs selling around 40 cents
a dozen at this time of the year,
there ought to he some real money
in raising chickens.
Just now we don't know whether
very many people are clamoring for
their usual spring fries or not. Guess
the average fellow will have to wait
until the chicken gets ready to die
of old age, before he tackles it.

A most happy surprise was tender
ed to Rev. X. Seehus anG 9Ift on
last Sunday by members Ct the
Locust Lane and Big Canoe cOnere-

INDUCED in. The surprise was some
what belated, as it was in honor of
the silver wedding anniversary nf
Rev. and Mrs. Seehus, when occurred
Oct.s IS. At that time there was sick
ness in the family and the event
was postponed. On his arrival home
from Locust Rev Seehus was given
the surprise Of his life to fnl his
home taken possession OF, ana he
was glad to surrender without get
ting any indemnity, but at that the
happy couple was given a fine large
purse Of money in honor or the oc-

BOYS WORKING RESERVE.
Last Call for Boys to Join the Re-
serve If They Have Not Already
Done So.

Last summer the Boys Working
Reserve made good, as will be at
tested by the scores of Iowa farmers.
Iowa last year enrolled more than
1000 boys, nearly three thousand Of
them working on the farms of the
state. So far this year the response
on the part of the boys has been
good, eighty-tive per cent of the
farmers who employed boys from the
reserve last year have re-employed
them again for the coming season.
The Reserve is a fine thing for both
farmers and boys.
The boys of Winneshiek county
have responded fairly we'll again
this year. The enrolment from De-
corah is as large as ever and most Of
the surrounding villages are we'll re-
presented on the enrolment list.
Through the country districts, how
ever, the response has been very
weak.
This notice is by way a last call
to the boys to ''jOin up" if they
have not already done so, and by
way of letting any farmers in need
of help in the boy line know that
they may have assistance IN solving
the problem by calling Black 259.

Notice to Auto Drivers.

AS you all know auto traffic has
increased to such an extent that the
streets Of DEBORAH are crowded daily,
which makes it most necessary that
the laws Of the city relating to auto
mobiles be obeyed to the letter, to
guard against accidents.
The speed limit in the city of De-
corah is / 5 miles an hour, and there
is an ordinance to this effect. All
cut-outs must be closed in the city
limits. You do not get any more
power with the Cut-outs open than
you do with them closed, therefore
this will impose no handicap on the
auto drivers.
The parking of cars is prohibited
in front Of the moving picture
theatres, and also on the north side
of Water street facing Winnebago
and Washington streets.
The police will make arrests for
the attractions of any Of the fore
going, and it is we'll for all auto
drivers to govern themselves ac-
cordingly.
