Married Thirty-five Years.

Yesterday, Tuesday, July 10, was
the thirty-fifth wedding anniversary
of one of Decorah's we'll known cou-
pies, Mr.. and Mrs. Ben Bear. They
were married in New York and De-
corah has been their home ever
since their marriage. Mr.. and Mrs.
Bear are most congenial people and
the friends they made when they
started out life here are their friends
today. They are public spirited,
whole hearted good citizens, just
the kind one likes to have as friends,
and during their long residence here
their excellent qualities of heart and
mind have endeared them to legion
of friends, and we join with them
all in extending most sincere good
wishes to this estimable couple on
their thirty-fifth anniversary, and
hope they will enjoy many more re-
turns of the day.

Town Chautauquas ana Town Carni.
walls.

A minor town up in northern Iowa
has introduced an innovation. 1t is
giving free chautauquas. The sue
cess the first free chautauqua met in
attracting people seems to, have
made it a permanent institution in
that town. Arrangements have been
made for the next year and the full
amount necessary promptly sub
scribed.
OF course the free chautauqua
isn't pure altruism. Pure altruism
isn't as plenty as weeds along the
roadside. Self interest is mixed in
the Innovation. Those merchants who
subscribed the funds and welcomed
the crowd as guests of the town had
not forgotten the benefit of acquaint-
ance and good feeling between them
selves and those who were learning
the way to good town with good
bunch of fellows running it. It was
a nice little com bination of enter
tainment, acquaintance making and
underneath it was good business.
The more people who know the road
to their town and like to come there
the better for the town and its in
terests. incidentally a road should
always be. open and fit to travel if
the combination is to work out
smoothly.
Best of all the free chautauqua Of
fered something thoroughly enter
tanning while instructive and worth
while. 1t drew the right crowds. In
that it was different from the
abominable carnivals that proceed
it as an attraction and which were
grasped by practically every town
and let loose of when the character
of it's drawing power were fairly un-
derstood.
Chautauqua is an event in the
smaller towns. People are glad to
get it. They patronize it and like it.
A good ordinary program suffices. In
the big town it is an incident. But
in smaller towns the free chautauqua
with its five or six days of enter
tainment and instructive lectures is
an excellent attraction and a good
way of getting the best in the town
and the best in the country side to-
eether to better acquaintance and
friendship. It is as infinitely prefer
able to carnivals as Frank Gunsaulus
is to Hinky Dink.-Marshallto

TIRE CONSERVATION DAY.
I'll. ID. Montgomery VIII Have En-
pert From Factory Here July
21St.

One of the most remarkable re-
cent movements to attain national
prominence is the one that has for
it's object the pointing out of
methods by which motorists may OBJ
tain increased mileage from their
tires.
One would imagine that tire
dealers would be pleased to have
tires wear out quickly, so that pur-
chases would be necessary. But this
is not generally true. There is more
rejoicing today over one car owner
whose tires run 10000 to $4,000
miles, than over hundred whose
lack of care prevents them from get
ting many miles they are entitled
to-.
This national tire conservation
movement will reach DEBORAH on
July 81, when Tire Conservation Day
will be observed. Carrying out the
idea of helping all local motorists to
secure more service from Their tires.
H. B. Montgomery of the Motor Sup
ply Co., has arranged to have an eX-
pert from The Goodyear Tire & Rub
Der Company present at the demon
stration, who will give an entire
day over to the consideration of the
tire problems of all local motorists,
pointing out the most insignificant
repairs which, if made in time, will
add immeasurably to tire mileage.
The tire difficulties of each motorist
will be given individual attention.
Sections Of tires will be exhibited
showing the different kinds of wear
that tires are subject to, and the
methods of mbating them. Tire
construction will be followed from
the crude rubber of the forest to the
finished tire, ready to start on its
career of service.
There is nothing mysterious about
tires, and therefore, no good reason
why motorists should not know all
about them, and be saved many OF
the disappointments they experience
when discarding tires which have
passed away before their time.

LEAPS ONE AIRPLANE TO AN.
OTHER.
Man Who Does This Stunt Depends
on Iowan to Pilot the Aero
plane.

Lieut.. Shirley Short, Fort
Dodge aviator, is a pilot IN one of
the most daring aviation stunts ever
accomplished.
Lieutenant Short drives lone of
the airplanes in the feat in which
Lieut.. o. L. Locklear leaps from
one airplane to another in midair.
This stunt is done 1000 feet in the
air and with the airplanes making
eighty miles an hour. Lieutenant
Locklear is claimed to be the only
man who has done this. He always
selects Lieut.. Short as pilot of one
Of the machines, while Lieut.. George
Elliot is pilot of the other machine.
Shirley Short was raised in this
community and enlisted in the avia-
ton branch of the army shortly
after war was declared. He is known
as a daring aviator aside from his
work in the Locklear stunt.
With Lieut.. Locklear and Elliot
Lieut.. Short has given a number OF
exhibitions in flying in various parts
of the country, the three recently ap-
pearing in Milwaukee.
The Locklear leap from one plane
to another has attracted attention
throughout the United States.

Fred Durey of Manchester Paid 81
an Acre-WOuldn't Sell for
$500.

Manchester, Ia.-Fred Durey, a
young man about town, sc years
old, has been showing his friends a
patent signed by James Buchanan
which was sent him sixty-two years
ago for little more than 100 acres
of land in Prairie township, Dele
warescounty. If we were all like Mr..
Durey the abstract companies would
have to shut up shop for an abb
stract of this fine farm would con-
sist of just two entries, the record
of original entry and the patent.
But Mr. Durey won't even have
an abstract because he has no idea
Of selling this farm upon which he
lived for so many years.
He paid 81 an acre for it and
considers it worth $500 an acre
now but he probably would not be
tempted to sell even at that figure
He manages to supply his wants
quite comfortably by the income
from this farm and others and the
rent of his houses in Manchester.
The question has been raised
whether there is another farm il
Iowa still held by the same person
who made the original entry ano
against which there has never beer
recorded mortgage or other en-
cumbrance.

HERE HAPPINESS IS.
Farmers Children Apparently Have
More Reason to be Happy Than
City Children.

! How You Gonna Keep EN- on the
Farm; queries a recent popular
song, which in words, sentiment and
music is about on a par with the
javeraeG popular songa that is,
some degrees below absolute zero.
But this, painting the delights OF
Broadway, and considering the farm
as a cold storage plant for all Joy,
is popular in the crowded centers.
And has a reflection on the minds
of the growing generation that bids
fair to make us an urban nation
The truth is that farmers child
rem generally have more reason to
be happy, and are, than any city
child.
Childhood loves the outdoors: it
loves growing things, and ANIMALS,
and going barefooted, and fishing
with a bent pin, and shooting rabbits
and mothering kittens instead of
dolls.
Any boy would rather have a dog
than go to the movie.
Any girl would rather have a pet
lamb than a kewpie doll.
Farm children live the natural
life of childhood.
The farm boy who has his own
saddle horse, and his own little
drove of pigs, and his own herd of
heifers, has more to keep him happy
than any city child can nave, and
the farmer who is a wise father will
see to it that his children become
partners with him at an early age
City minded juveniles who must
breathe coal SCOT to be comfortable,
who must feel hot asphalt burning
through their tight shoes, who must
have a movie mellerdramar a day, or
perish of ennui, such youths will be
/ of no value on the farm, nor any
where else, until they have learned
the art of living nationally, simply
and, therefore, happily.

Gypsy Origin Never Solved.

The real origin, of the gypsies is a
problem yet to be definitely solved.
Many scholars have tried their hand
at it and in tracing the gypsies to
common ancestries have identified
them with the Lost Tribes of Israel,
the Saracens, the Cananites, and var
ious peoples of India.
Certain affinities of the Romany
speech of the Hindu dialects give
a foundation for the theory of their
Indian origin. 1t is said they were
driven from their home in the north
west of India about 1000 years ago
by the hordes Of Genghis Khan and
made their way into Persia, then to
Egypt and northern Africa, passing
through Asia Minor into the Euro
pean countries. The final migration
was to America and Australia.
