Suggest Change in Voting Place.

We understand that there are a
great many people living in the
third ward of DEBORAH who are de-
sirous of having the voting place
changed from the second floor of the
city hall to some ground floor loca-
ton. 1t is quite a climb for elderly
people to get up to the second floor,
and we believe the suggestion for a
change is a good one, and the Off
Gals should take notice of this fact
when the polling places are named
for the coming election.

BANKERS LOCKED OUT.
Big Vault in Citizens Savings Bank
Refused to Open.

Last Wednesday the Citizens Saw
irgs Bank officials were barred
from getting any money out of their
big vault with which to transact the
days business. The reason was that
the time lock on the vault door re-
fused to open.
c. o. Matheson, a time lock ex-
pert from the F. E. Davenport Co.,
of Omaha had been here the two
days previous cleaning the time
locks on the vault door. He finished
his work Tuesday night, and on
Wednesday morning the locks fail
ed to work, and the vault could not
be opened. Mr.. Matheson had left
town sometime Wednesday, and the
bank officials caught him at Calmar,
by telephone, and he came back to
DEBORAH by auto Wednesday after
noon. On Thursday they started
drilling through the stone and con-
crete wall of the vault, and were al
so compelled TO burn out hole with
aceytelene gas in the steel lining,
big enough for a man to crawl
through. When this was accomplish
ed Assistant Cashier r. E. Bucknell
crawled through the hole and re-
leased the bolts on the door. The ex-
pert found the clocks had not done
their proper work, TO release the
bolts, so he fixed them up and the
door has been opening regularly
since. The Citizens Savings Bank was
compelled to borrow money from the
other banks to tide them over while
the vault was closed.

DEW HAS VITALlzING EFFECT
Abundant Proof That II Possesses In
MIGRATING Action That Affects
Growth Of Plants.

Dew is vitalizing, not entirely be-
cause 1t Is water but because 1t pos
sesses an invigorating action due part
~ at any rate to the fact tat 1t Is
saturated with oxygen, and it has been
stated that during its formation per-
oxide Of hydrogen and some ozone are
developed. 1t is not improbable that
the peculiarly attractive and refresh
ing quality that marks the early-morn-
ing air has its origin in this way. The
difficulty of inducing grass to flourish
under tree in full leaf is wen known
and is generally explained by saying
that the tree absOrbs the nourishine
constituents of the soil or that it keeps
the sunlight away from the grass and
protects it from rain. 1t is doubtful
whether any Of these explanations Is
true, the real reason most probably
being that the vitalizing dew cannot
form upon the grass under a tree
whereas as a rule both rain and ligh1
can reach 1t.
