COAL FAMINE AT OBLwEIN.
Power Plant Forced to Burn Costly
Wood.

Oelwein, Ia.-Several Oclwein in
dustries have felt the pinch of a
real fuel famine during the past few
days.
The Inter-State Power company
which furnishes electricity for Del
Vein and a number of nearby towns
after borrowing coal from nearby
plants and hauling some from Hazel
ton, has bcen reduced to the expen-
sive extremity of burning cord wood.
The Chicago Great Western rail
road is having all it can do to scrape
up enough coal to keep its power
house and it's switch engines sup
piled and the trains moving out of
oelwein terminal on the four di
visions which center here.
Coal for dealers and others in
Oelwein and other points on the sys-
tenn is being held pending the pos
sibility Of necessary confiscation to
keep the wheels turning. Some coal
IS expected today, both for the rail-
road company and the power com
pany, but the relief in sight is only
temporary.
officials are looking grave and
saying nothing.

Mayor Gets Strange Letter.

Mayor r. Bucknell received a
rather lengthy letter yesterday sign
ed by Abigail Bronw Tompkins, of
South Orange, New Jersey, and the
writer enclosed a little water color
post Of life in the spring of
1861 at DEBORAH, and it was present
ed to the mayor and city of DEBORAH
with the kind regards of the artist.
The writer said her parents, the late
Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel Freeman Temp
kins went to DEBORAH in 1861, in
tending to make their home here and
contracted to buy little log house
and piece OF land from a Swedish
miller. Mr.. Abrahamson, who had
lately built himself new house on
d hill nearby. One of the witnesses
to the contract was a Mr.. Gibbons.
The father planted potatoes and
started a garden, when he was cal.
led back to New Jersey. The family
wanted to live here as they liked
DEBORAH. The letter ramibles on with
a lot OF stuff that sounds vague. and
whoever the people are we don't be-
ieve any are here who remember
mem, and whether the potato patch
was ever planted we know not

KEEP TO THE RIGHT SIGNS.
They Get Knocked Right and Left.
Cement Posts Now Being Used.

The proposition of placing the
right kind of signs in the streets to
guide auto drivers has been perplex-
ing for city authorities. Over at
Riceville they have been having their
troubles and the Recorder has the
following to say:
The maintenance of suitable and
satisfactory Keep to the Right
posts at the intersections of streets
in city is yexing proposition. The
streets in ordinary towns are rather
narrow making it difficult for a
larger car to make the turn. On the
other hand it is quite necessary to
have something of the kind on the
street as reminder 10 the careless
CT thoughtless driver to keep the
proper side of the street.
Riceville has been no exception to
this rule. Sometime ago posts were
placed on the principal corners in
the business section of town and at
the present not one remain standing.
They were knocked down so often
that the council abandoned them, or
at least that type of post.
Usage, while having wider streets.
is in much the same predicament
and the city council is experimenting
with a new type of direction post.
1t is a butter bowl shaped mound OF
cement about two feet across and
ten or twelve inches high. The idea
is that if a car in making the turn
should strike the mound it would
Pass over it without more .serious
than a bump.
Just what the outcome to the town
would be in case of a car driving at
light should strike the mound and
be damaged, is question.

Announcement Party.

Mrs. Fred J. Figge opened her
home to twenty one young ladies TO
announce the engagement and ap-
preaching marriage of her daughter.

the bride to- be.
The evenings amusement consist
ed of five hundred, the honors falling
to Misses Beatrice Becker and Anna
Rrocamp, and the guest prize was
Drawn by Miss Rose Etteldorf. Fol
lowing this the guests partook of a
delicious luncheon.
The color scheme was pink and
green and the table decorations con
sisted of pink roses and sweet peas,
The centerpiece-a large pink crepe
rose-contained the secret of the
announcement. Each lady, sitting al
an appointed place, drew from the
ccnterpiece a card announcing the
engagement. The favors were in the
fern of pink horns. to which were
attached cards bearing the date OF
Il e marriage, namely: Thursday,
September 2nd, 1920. A rosebdd nut
cup, containing kewpie surrounded
With small nuts, was placed at each
plate. Suspended from the ceiling
directly overhead the table, pink and
green ribbons formed a beautiful
canopy.

Smooth Stranger Buys Their Old
Autos and. Gets Them to Sign
Bills of Sale.

Toledo, IA new angle Of the
old con- game has been sprung in
Tama county and as a result sew
eral residents of Toledo are much
wiser, albeit financially poorer men,
according to a detailed report re-
ceived by the local police from N. A,
Peterman,. sheriff of that county.
The trick on the face was an easy
one, being based on the purchase of
second hand automobiles. by a man
purporting to be representative
from an auto exchange company in
Des Moines. After a purchase agree
ment had been reached between the
agent and the man who was glad to
meet someone who would take the
old flivver off his hands without
questions as to its age and present
conditions of servitude, the smooth
buyer asked as mere matter Of
form that the owner of the car
sign a document which he repre-
scented as a contract of SALE This
was done with out protest.
But silence reigned only a short
time. A few hours or days after each
transaction the man learned that the
slip Of paper he had signed so quick
ly was an order to pay the bearer
a certain sum of money, in most
cases $50. These, the man from Des
Moines had had no trouble in cash
ing at the bank and then skipping
town.
Sheriff lPeterman describes the
swindler as being a man about 3S
years old, feet nine inches in
height, Of medium weight. sallow
complexion slightly bald and wear
ing a green colored suit, low shoes
ana flashing a diamond ring.

Wisconsin Grazing Lands
To the Farmers of Winneshiek COun-
" and Others Interested in
Good Farm Lands.


The Bayfield, Investment Associa-
ton OF Mason, Wisconsin. own "a
large tract of cUtoyer timber land
in Bayfield, County, Wisconsin, which
is being sold on easy terms
prices ranging from $500 to $1,000
an acre.
MIR. III. It. RanlO of DEBORAH. Iowa
has inspected these lands and states
that the district has the possibilities
of being one of the best regions for
general farming, fruit growing and
dairying that he has ever seen.
The lands are widely known for
their abundant growth of clover and
timothy which is usually cut twice
a year. The soil is well adapted to
the growth of all kinds of grain
corn, wheat, oats. rye, flax and bar
ley, while potatoes and other root
crops are exceptionally profitable.
Mr.. RamlO will be glad to tell any
one regarding the. possibilities of
Upper Wisconsin ,cutover lands. A
talk with him and trip to Bayfield,
County, Wisconsin will convince you
that the day of buying good land, at
a reasonable price, is not past.
A letter addressed TO MR.. III. T..
RAMIIO, Decorah, Iowa, or the
bayfield, Investment Association,
Mason Wisconsin, will bring further
particulars. Investigate for yourself
and be convinced.

A Shocking Story.

The papers all said it was shock
ing, but seven young girls, camp
ing out in the woods. came to the
rescue of an Iowa farmer near
Shenandoah, and in three hours time
shocked nine acres of oats. The far
mer said he was greatly pleased with
the results of their work. The work
is not unusual, for during the war
many young women and girls had
full charge of a number of splendid
big farms all over Iowa. With their
brothers gone to war, and perhaps a
father too old or feeble to greatly
help, they carried on very satisfac
torily. Perhaps they were glad to
surrender the tractor and the pillow
to stronger hands, when the men
returned, bat what they demonstrat-
ed was the ability to do anything
they were called upon to do, and do
it capably. This shocking story is a
little bit tame besides some of the
things accomplished by Iowa girls
two summers ago.

Powdered Milk Factory in DEBORAH.
Considerable agitation has been
going on for some time to start a
powdered milk plant" here in De
corah, and it may be that after dairy
ing is more advanced, that is, when
we have more real dairy cows and
more of them, plant of that kind
would net the producer more money.
As to raising the money by selling
stock, / believe that could be done
easily enough, but should be done by
local people and to save a big per
centage paid for selling stock. How
ever, from what l can learn there
would be enough farmers willing
to sell the whole milk to guarantee
successful operation. 1t would take
about rs, 600 lbs. day. Farmers like
to have the skim milk for feed on
the farm. AS one farmer said: I'VE
Keep cows so as to get some milk. 4"
The price paid for milk at the
powdered milk plant, / believe, is
about $3.50 per hundred pounds. OF
course, it is tested and paid for ac-
cordingly.
1t seems hard enough to get milk
for the city here. Just the other day
cur milkman told us he did not
know whether he could supply us
with milk or not and they are get
ting about $500 per hundred pounds
and he is not getting too much at
that.
In changing from hauling cream to
hauling milk complex problems
would have to be solved. The milk
would have to be hauled every day,
Sunday included in the summer.
With cream we insist on getting it
three times week only, and that
is not lived up to as it should be-
do not know the powdered milk
game and ] am trying to look it up.
/ see in one of, the creamery papers,
commenting on condensed milk dur
ing the war, large European de-
r'and for American condensed milk
vi as created, but now that Europe
can produce their own products
there has been serious falling off
in the demand for American con
densed milk. As a result many Am
erican condenseries have been clos
ed within the past six months. It
may be the same with powdered
roilk.
In view of the fact that there is a
sood market established in DEBORAH
for cream. due to the success of the
creamery operated and controlled by
the farmers, also having a good ice
cream factory in the city, and the in
|creasing demand for milk and cream
in the city. / believe that we should
not be too hasty to plunge into some
thing that we do not know much
about. But to do justice to the dairy
industry It should be carefully look
ed into. and studied by the milk pro-
duaer as well as to keep in CLOSE
touch with. the industries, and If it
looks good it could be operated in
connection with the same plant as
the creamery. ..a..r...-.
