BUYS WINNESHIEK CATTLE.
Gar Load HerefOrds Shipped to
North Dakota by j. III. Eliingson

Mr.. J. H. Ellingson together with
one or two of his neighbors sold a
carload of their good Hereford cat
tie to North Dakota last week.
Most of these cattle were pure bred
Herefords. the balance were also
high grade, well bred Herefords.
Many of our Winneshiek county
breeders are rapidly placing Winnie
shiek county on the map as a center
for good live stock. Calls are fire.
quently received by our breeders for
carload lots of good stock. This is
also very frequent occurrence at the
Farm Bureau Office. 1t is worth a
great deal to the county when the
County Agent or any of our breed
ers can fill carload lots to distant
states. This simply means that the
same buyers and new ones will come
again. Quality sales of quality stock
makes new friends and frequent
visitors in the livestock game. Sales
like the ones which have recently
been made by breeders thruout the
county speak in good terms for Win
neshiek county livestock.

FIRE MARSHALL HERE.
Deputy Fire Marshall Here Thursday
Investigating Recent Fires.

Last Thursday Deputy State Fire
Marshal E. j. Frowick came to De-
corah to make an investigation of
some of the recent fires, the last one
being the Rock Island grain eleva-
tor. 1t was the marshalrs opinion
that this fire was set by some fire.
bug here, as well as several other
fires recently that were discovered
and put out before any damage was
done. The fires he had reference to
was the one last springsin the rear
of A. A. Lees tailor shop where a
shed was burned, the fires discovered
several weeks ago in the rear OF
the Maltby dray line office and back
of the Mrs. j. G. Lamm building oc-
cupied by Quears shoe shop. and al
SC in the rear of the Mestad garage.
One was also discovered and put out
in the rear of the Sugar Bowl Ice
Cream factory, and no alarm was
turned in.
Without a doubt there is some
person who has mania to see
buildings burn, who is starting these
fires. The marshal says that over in
Cedar Falls one young fellow had
set 81 fires before he was caught.
In another place a young fellow set
fire to the telephone office, his par
ents residence and several other
places before he was caught.
The penalty is very severe. For
instance if a person is convicted of
setting fire to building that is in
habited the penalty is a life SEN
tence.

Going Away to School.

AT this time of year many young
people are making their first break
out into the wide world, by going
away from home to some school or
college. The choice of the right
sc hool is the subject of anxious
thought in many families. The young
people look forward to the event as
wonderful new experience. They
are eager for this first fight from
the parental nest.
1t requires a lot of discrimination
to select a good school. Many that
have handsome looking prospectuses,
Go not live up to their promises.
College authorities say that many
private schools to which people pay
high rates, are not as good as the
public schools in the home towns
of the pupils.
Wherefore parents contemplating
this step need to ask advice of peo-
pie who know what these schools
are doing. Ask the colleges which
preparatory schools send up the best
qualified pupils, and ask the profes.
sional schools what colleges do the
best work. Then you may get at
some bottom facts.

a profit for which the newspaper
had to pay. 1t is becoming more
evident every day that the present
cost of almost every manufactured
article is due to profiteering more
than the cost of production. Until
this protiteering is stopped there can
be no relief.

pared for a meeting here today, n

Herring was flooding Iowa with the
following letter over his own sigma
ture:
ITO the men of Iowa This organi-
cation has been formed for the pur-
pose of distributing to the voters Of
Iowa concerning the vital question
OF woman suffrage. The thinking,
conservative men of the state should
arouse themselves to a thorough in
Vestigation of this issue which al
ready in a few western states owes
its success largely to misapprehen-
sion and apathy on the part of male
voters. If you believe in the conser-
walton of womanhood; if you believe
in the present exalted position of
American women; if you would save
the women Of Iowa from politics
and public Office for which nature
did not design them, sign the en-
closed application for mem bership
and mail at once.
The enclosed application follows:
II enclose my check to cover
membership fee of IS in the Iowa
Association of Men Opposed to Wo-
men Suffrage, and a further con-
tribution of s. for use in the
present campaign to defeat the pro-
posed women suffrage amendment at
the polls on June 5, 1916"
Mr.. Kendall explained his votes
against suffrage. in the Legislature,
on the ground that Il believed
that an adverse decision at the polls
was inevitable, and that such re-
suit would postpone indefinitely the
ultimate victory of the reform. So
believing" he said 81 voted against
hazarding the issue until a more
suspicious time should arrive"

found that he needed skillful sur

the farm house phone, the frst-aid-
er called up a noted surgeon in
Kansas City, rs miles away. In ten
minutes the doctor was aboard an

he was at the injured mans side. An
hour later, the operation was over
ard the patient was comfortably
resting.
Thus in less than three hours after
the event, the life of an injured man
