MARGARET HANSEN

Margaret daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Jorgen Hansen, was born in Missouri
Valley, Iowa, March 1, 1885. She
grew to womanhood in this city, grad
uating from the Missouri Valley High
School with the class of 1903. She
attended Iowa State University for 2
years, then the State Normal at Cedar
Falls, graduating there in the Kinder
garden work. Since then she has
taught at Fairfield and Davenport,
Iva. She was teaching at Davenport
when her health failed and she re-
turned home, where she remained I'M
til February, when she left for
Boulder, Colo, where she spent the
last six mnths her life. There
gaining in health, she had every
hope and chance of getting well.
Death came Unexpectedly, Monday
morning, August 9, 1920.
Margaret was loved and respected
by all who knew her. Funeral SER
vices were held from the Presbyter-
ian church, of which she was mem
Der. Her body was laid to rest in
Rose Hill cemetery, beside her moth
er, who passed away 81 years ago.
Sympathy is extended to the be-
reaved family by their many friends.

BRUNDAGE SHOWS COMING

~
Wednesday of this week contract
was signed between the s. w. Brun-
dage shows and the, Harrison County
Agricultural Society, for the appear
ance of the former carnival organiza-
ton at the 1920 Fair-Sept. IA to II,
inclusive. Unlike previous engage
ments of the carnivals during the
fair week, the Brundage caravan will
set on the fairgrounds this year in
stead of the uptown streets, it being
the intention of the Fair directors to
give their patrons the privilege Of
sharing in the jazzy joy as dealt out
by the midway attractions during the
day as well as after supper.
"The path O. pleasure at the Har-
rison County Fair this year will be
we'll in keeping with the sport and
recreation offered by many Of the
larger fairs of the state, due to the
fact that the Hrundage company for
the current year will be much larger
than at any time in the pase. Five
elaborate riding devices and approx
imately twelve clean, bright and
sparkling shows will go to make up
the recreation mart" at the fair, the
patrons having the privilege Of shar-
ing in the merriment during the day
as we'll as after supper.
The one big feature with the Brun-
dage company this year is the Aqua
tic Fantasy shows, a water circus in
which Sixteen shapely sea shore
splashers," all CARRIED in the latest de-
signed one-piece bathing suits, vie
with each other in an aquatic perform
ance said to be duplicated only along
the coast resorts, where the salty
sprays, the beach sands and feminine
grace, beauty and form all make up a
show which the diving nymphs with
the Brundage shows will offer at the
1920 Harrison County Fair, a minia-
ture ocean being provided for them
when the portable tank in which they
perform is supplied with some 25OO0
gallons of water.
The Brundage company will provide
the midway attractions every day
during the fair, and especially after
supper, the carnival entertainment
being the only amusement each even.
ing with the exception Of Thursday
at which time the fireworks and Other
attractions will be offered in front Of
the grandstand, an admission being
charged at the front gate on this
night only, while no admission will bt
charged to the fair grounds after sup.
per on the other evenings-Tuesday
Wednesday and Friday.
Several new features will be in line
with the Brundage troupe, many Of
them never as yet appearing before
our local amusement going public.

/. ANOTHER RESIGNS

The idea of resigning from county
office seems to be almost epidemic in
its nature. Rex Finley, who has
been deputy treasurer for several
months, is the latest to give up inside
work for the big out of doors, and
is now engaged with Mr.. Shirley the
contractor on the Lincoln Highway
work, and is driving a truck east of
Logan. Mr.. Finley says it is pretty
hot work, but he expects to get used
to it. The pay is much better than
he was getting as deputy treasurer.
Mr.. Suddick has not decided on sue
cessor to Mr.. Finley yet, or at least
has not given the information out If
he has.-Observer.

CHILDREN's EYES AND
SCHOOL WORK

| In a short time the schools will be
running again on schedule time.
How about those eyes about which
your child complained about last
year when doing the regular work
required in school? You read the
monthly report card with its grades
not satisfactory and perhaps you
scolded Johnny, or was it Mary?-
because the marks were so low, but
you have failed to heed the advice of
the teacher and the nurse, not to
mention the doctor, all of whom adj
vised you to have the child's ewes
examined and correcting glasses fit
ted so as to give the child a better
chance in life. The writer has known
numbers of children who were labor
ing under the great handicap of poor
vision which should have been COR
rected by carefully fitted glasses
whose grades in school Immediately
improved when the eye strain had at
last been relieved by lenses made to
fit the eyes. Doubtless many boy
and girl has gone thru the entire
school course learning only a COM
paratively small part of what they
would have learned if they had been
able to see normally. Now, before
school work begins, and the eyes
have been used to the point of fatigue
in the effort to read the increasingly
Heightened lessons, is the proper
time to have the eyes carefully ex-
amined and all visual defects correc-
ted. 1t is a mistake to imagine that
such defects will be outgrown; on the
contrary, they will increase and if al
lowed to go uncorrected may change
the whole tenor of the child's life be-
cause the increasing strain of using
the eyes renders the pursuit of an ed
ucation burden too heavy to endure.
Parents, are you willing to handicap
your child in the pursuit of happiness
by failure to do him the simple JUS
tice of assuring yourself as to
whether or not he has an uncorrected
defect of vision?

IOWA WOMAN WELL
AND HAPPY AGAIN
Says Tanlac Brought Her Perfect
Health After Four Years

Health After Four Years
OF Suffering
"Since I began taking Tanlac
am enjoying perfect health in every
way and have gained ten pounds in
weight" said Mrs. Mary Taylor, r.
F. D. No. 4, Marion, Iowa.
"For four years I had suffered
from stomach trouble" said Mrs.
Taylor. "My appetite was very
poor and even the little l did man
age to eat caused me intense suffer-
ing. After every meal l became so
badly nauseated l could seldm re-
tain a thing. I would bloat up with
gas until I could hardly breathe and
my heart would palpitate SO fearfully
that / often became frightened. My
nerves were in such bad condition
could hardly get any sleep at all, and
for long time had been in such
a badly rundown, weakened condi-
ton l could not do my housework.
l suffered with such terrible head
aches they almost drove me distrac-
ted, and at times I had such awful
dizzy, fainty spells l could hardly
stand up. In fact l was in just such
a bad fix generally l realized I could
not hold out much longer unless
got something to help me.
II had heard so much about the
good Tanlac was doing others I de-
cided to give it trial, and now, al
though have only taken four bt-
ties, I have a splendid appetite, eat
just anything l want and everything
agrees with me perfectly. l never
have those terrible headaches now,
and those awful dizzy, fainty spells
never trouble me any more. My
nerves are in so much better condi-
ton can sleep like child all night
long. have also regained my lost
strength and feel so good all the
time my housewdrk is actually a
pleasure to me-"
Tanlac is sold in Missouri Valley by
R. w. Harvey; in Modale by Clifton
A. Riggs; in Mondamin by H. A.
