Death of Elmore Kirkland.

Elmore Kirkland, former DEBORAH
boy passed away Jan. s at Royal,
Iowa, death being due to influenza.
The deceased was born Jan. %, 1896
in Dubuque county, and moved to
Sycamore, ILL., where the family re-
sided until after the fathers death.
He attended high school there and
afterward moved to DEBORAH, and at
tended Valdez Business College here,
and he completed his college course
at the University Of Illinois, At the
time the war broke out he enlisted in
the 107 Michigan Eng. at Houghton
in May 1917, and was sent for train
ing to Waco, Texas, butt his health
was such that he couldn't pass the
overseas examination. Last September
he took position as bookkeeper in
the Citizens National Bank at Royal.
Elmore's life here on earth was COM
paratively a short one, measured in
length of years, being in his 23d
year, Dut lie Is HOt iHCdSulSu Wy
years. 1t is not how long, but how
we'll we live counts. Words fail to
convey the real traits of character of
this young man that distinguished
him from many of his fellows. His
first thought was of the devotion to
his mother, after that to making a
success of life. He was good boy, q.
splendid friend, industrious in his
duties and possessed with the finest
qualities of manhood.
The funeral services We're held at
Spencer and the remains will be
brought to DEBORAH in the spring for
interment beside those Of his father
at Freeport.

ICE MAN WILL GET CROP,
Said Chances are Better Than Three
to One That He Will Reap Har-
Es vest

The question of whether or not
Tavenir Bros. the well known De-
corah icemen were going to be able
to gather their crop for 1919 has
been somewhat .debateable the past
couple of weeks, as the ice in the
river now is only or inches thick
and the weather extremely warm, so
it is a question now what will the
harvest be-" However it furnishes
people something to talk about and
while the outlook for bumper yield
is none too rosy, the icemen's chances
for securing his crop are better than
8 to /. In other words he is safe I'M
til about March in normal sea-
son, as in only twelve winters during
a period beginning with 1875 and
continuing down to the present has
the ice broken up in February The
