Oilina the Pavement.

Ex-Alderman L. B. Willis, wife
and daughter returned home Friday
from a visit with his parents at
Boscobel, Wis They made the trip
by auto and on the return trip spent
a day in Manchester. Mr.. Wills
tells us that the city oiled their
pavement in the business section OF
the city and it is working out fine.
We have suggested several times
that it would be a good thing to
oil the pavement in the business sec
ton of DEBORAH, but some were
afraid that it wouldn't work. Well
it works fine on Washington street
which was oiled a couple of weeks
ago, and there is no dust whatever
on that street now. Why wouldn't 1t
work on the rest of the pavement?

Passed Away i'm Canada.

The following obituary of VIM. G.
Reid, former resident of Burr Oak
has been sent to us and the sympathy
of many is extended to the bereaved
ones in their loss.
A wide circle of friends and rela-
tives was greatly shocked when
word came that William Gordon
Reid had suddenly passed out Of this
life into the larger and better life
beyond. He was still in the prime of
mis- young manhood, having been
born at Buffalo, Wis, May 8, 1891,
and passed away on June "a, 1919,
aged % years, l month and 81 days.
While yet child he came with his
parents to Burr Oak where he grew
up to manhood, receiving his edu-
cation in the public schools. He was
married to Hilda May Gates at Burr
Oak, Nov. 80, 1911, and took his
bride to Broderick, Sask. Canada,
where he had already secured home.
One child, Gordon, is the issue of
the marriage union. Mr.. Reid was
taken suddenly sick with appended
tbs and underwent an operation 90
Sunday, June %, but in spite Of
medical skill he could not recover
from the shock.
He was the son OF George Reid,
formerly of Burr Oak, now OF
Can, who survives him.
His mother passed away some fifteen
years ago. A sister, Mrs Vera
Gates of Kendallville and a brother
Duncan Reid, of Broadrick also sur
vive him. The deepest sympathy or
the community is extended to the
bereaved widow and child and the
sorrowing relatives. Deceased was
4 young man Of sterling character
Industrious, sober, enterprising, with
the promise of a large future. A
good citizen, a loving husband ana
father, he will be greatly missed
md long remembered.

Former Decor:ihians Lose Twin sor

Former Decorahians Lose Twin Son.
A copy of Greenfield, Iowa, paper
reaches our desk with a notice or
the death of an infant son OF Mr.
and Mrs. r. P. Sanford. Mr.. Sanford
was former manager of Graham s
store here. Their many friends eX-
tend sympathy to them in their loss.
Norman the infant son OF Mr..
and Mrs. r. p Sanford died at
Glenwood Wednesday at 10 a. m.
OF pneumonia, aged one year and 2
weeks. Mrs. Sanford and the child
-gren went to Glenwood about three
weeks ago for a visit with Mrs.
Sanford's parents, Mr.. and Mrs. j.
A. Blair. Several days afterwards
Norman was taken with heavy
cold which later developed into
pneum onia. He had recovered from
an attack of influenza in the winter,
also from pneumonia this spring,
but his system was probably left
more succeptable to disease. A brave
fight was made by his parents, phy-
sicians and the nurses to retain the
little life (Which brought so much
of happiness) but without avail. he
was born at Creston, May 29, 1919
one of twin boys and was of loving
patient and sunny nature and VIII
be sadly missed in the home circle.
Besida his parents, his brothers
Geor,a. Robert and Victor survive.
Funer services were held at the
Blair home conducted by Rev, j. T.
Matneny of Greenfield and Rev
stevenson, of Glenwood. Many friends
sent beautiful floral tributes ana
me ssages of sympathy to the pereaV-
ed parents"

DEBORAH GIRL WINS PRIZE.
Miss Ruth Amundsen Wrote Best
Essay on milk as Food for
the Growing Child"


Miss Ruth Amundsen, Of this
city, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert Amundsen won out over Al
other contestants from that many
counties in writing an essay on
Milk as a Food for the Growing
Child" The following from Ames
gives some particulars about the
contest:
with 1000 seventh and eighth
grade students in 154 schools from
Al counties throughout Iowa writ
ing essays on Milk as a Food for
the Growing Child" it will be
strange indeed if the value of milk
in the child's diet is not impressed
upon the parents.
From the forty-one essays win
ming first in the counties which
were sent into the agricultural ex-
tension department of Iowa State
college at Ames to be judged, the
one receiving first place was writ
ten by Ruth Amundsen of DEBORAH,
Winneshiek county.
1t was singular fact that this
essay was given first by the Eng
lish department, the dietetics di-
vision of the home economics Sec
ton and the dairy division.

that the facts were correct from a
scientific and nutrition point of
view.
The nourishment of the children
is the first duty of our nation, be-
cause the success of any nation de-
Ponds upon the full development of
its young" is the opening sentence
OF the essay, which shows that its
writer possesses more than a local
point of view.
1t is planned to award the county
and state prizes as soon as possible.
So many more schools entered the
contest than had been expected that
it was not possible to provide local
prizes for the ones entering late in
the contest, as the funds provided
were not adequate.
The contest was so unusually
successful and we'll liked through
out the state that it is thought that
it will be put on next year on a
much larger scale. AS some of the
members Of the dairy council ex-
pressed it, I'VE want 10000 child
rem enrolled instead Of 1000"
However, no definite plans have
been made.
The counties enrolled this year
were: Clayton, Delaware, Jones,
Cedar, Linn, Johnson, Iowa, Mus
catine, Des Moines, Wapello, Tama,
PoweGhiek, Marshall, Fayette, Win
neshiek, Chickasaw, Howard, Mitch
