PAVILION UNFINISHED.
The new left field pavilion. still in
an unfinished state. has already been
used four times, so great has been
the demand for chances TO see the
possible hsrpions in action.
Because Of his brothers popularity

several clever stops and throws. and
each time was applauded. His brother

Saturday Evening Post said you
can't make a Bolshevik out of man
if you give him a chance to raise
corn, cabbage and babies"
"Americans really have greas
ideals" Prof. Vaughn said. THE first
is truth. Our appreciation of truth
is Revolutionary, that is, it grows,
develops.
"The science of astronomy grew
out of astrology. Chemistry came
out of alchemy. Our great religious
ideals Of today came out of centuri IS
of struggle. We need spirit Of toll
erance and open mindedness if are to
grow"
Freedom was the second ideal
touched upon. Prof. Vaughn spoke
especially of the tyranny of disease,
how a person allowed himself to be-
camo a slave to some particular dis
ease. He mentioned principally tu-
berculosis and rheumatism. Statistics
show, he said, that during the United
States participation in the recent war,
67,800 soldiers died on the fields of
France and Flanders while during the
same period of time, over 100000 died
in this country from tuberculosis.
Professor Irving Foster made the
statement, he said, that there are
100000 unnecessary deaths in this
country annually.
The speaker told of the tyranny of
poverty, not being free to enlarge and
enrich ones life. He then talked on
the tyranny of custom and related
how three-fourths of the women Il
China have their feet bound tight.
This, he said, was not law, but Gus
TOM He spoke also Of the modem
fads in dressing and how the women
of today were slaves of custom.
Justice was the next ideal touched
upon. Taxation without represent l.
ton is just as true of women as OF
men. Prof Vaughn said in making a
plea for woman suffrage. The speak
er said he would be glad when the
women get the vote. He said he be-
lieved that if the women knew
enough about the government
of the country to teach the men o'
the country as the teachers IN the
schools do, they should know enough
to vote. The professor denoun, I'D
child labor, saying that it was unjust
to the children not to allow them 10
have an education. He quoted Cha
lotte Perkins Gilman who said;
"No hedgeling feeds the father BIRD
No chicken feeds the hen,
No kitten mouses for the cat;
This glory is for men.
We are the strongest, proudest race
Long may our praises be sung,
The only animal alive that feeds upor
it's young"
Industrial justice is rapidly p
preaching, Prof. Vaughn said. EN-
ployedrs and employees alike see
newday coming.
In talking on equality, Prof
Vaughn said this was being sought oJ
inheritance taxes as one measure. H(
then spoke briefly on fraternity ant
service and closed by saying he hoped
these six ideals might become com
mon heritage Of democracy the whole
world around.

JUNIOR CLASS
BALL IN NEWPORT
IS GRAND SUCCESS

AllnOuSH the dlIelludHCc was 49,
as large as expected, everyone had a
fine time at the big Junior Class ball,
which was held in School Hall, FIJI
day evening, and as far as the dancers
we're concerned the whole affair was
grand success. But from a financl1l
viewpoint the event was more or less
of failure because after all the eX-
penses are paid, the balance is very
liable to be on the wrong side. How
ever, the fact that Everyone enjoyed
themselves so well, is some consola-
ton for those who put it over.
Burroughs orchestra played and OF
course the music was of the highest
order. The musicians were generous
with encores and the crowd was
happy. Refreshments consisting II
ice cream and cake were served by
several of the mothers of the pupils.
The hall was very artistically dec
grated in evergreen and sweet peas.

among the men.

merchant consequently returned it
But the wholesale house, neverthe

the draft unhonored.
The wholesalers then wrote to thu

BY return mail the wholesalers re

This is the reply that they receiv'
ed:
"The undersigned Is the merchant

INTER CHURCH
MOVEMENT.
WORLD
Division Of Protestant Churches Has
Resulted in Wasteful Duplication
Of Effort.

The division Of the Protestant
Church into great number OF sects
has resulted in much wasteful dupli.
cation of effort. While to a certain
extent this classification of different
types Of people is useful, giving all
elements chance to work under
congenial leadership, yet denomi-
national rivalry has on the whole
been a source of lost power.
AS result perhaps of unity OF
feeling developed during the war
period, the leading Protestant de-
nominations have been persuaded to
engage in a cooperative and unity
ing effort, called the Interchurch
World Movement. 1t is believed that
this will simplify and systematize
Christian work, and introduce more
fraternal spirit among denomi-
nations.
A house to house canvass is to be
made all over the country to as
certain what the churches are now
accomplishing. This census will
show among other things, many
localities where there are too many
churches, and many others where
there is not enough. 1t will show
that too much money is being spent
in some localities, and not enough
in others. 1t will reveal weak spots,
and make 1t possible to reorganize
the work and avoid waste and dup
lication.
The church work of the country
should be planned as efficiently as
an engineering proposition. Church
canvassers should not do their work
in mechanical way, but should
make it clear to non-church goers
that they would be heartily well
coined to the churches. They should
not adopt an attitude Of superior
virtue or holiness, to those who do
not, see At to attend, nor should they
seek to proselyto among the ad-
hasents Of other faiths.
One feels sure that the churches
OF Decorah sympathize with these
ideals and will heartily CO.
operate. srF ,..,ss

YOUR 1920 AUTO
LICENSE PLATES
II You Have Registered Your Car
and Failed to Receive Plates,
Reason Is Explained Below.
COUNTY TREASURER DID
NOT RECEIVE PLATES
100 Pairs Short, Which Has Caused
Numerous Inquiries and Protests
to be Sent to Treasurer's
Office.

Have you received your 1920 licen-
Sc plates for your auto? Ii you have
registered your car and have failed
to receive your number plates, this
Will explain the reason why YOU
have not.
Winneshiek county's assignment
Iof auto number plates for the year
1920, was 3400 pairs, but of this
number only $500 pairs have been re.
ceived by the County Treasurer to
date. and these have been delivered
to the various auto owners. The bal.
ance of 100 pairs has not been re-
ceived and the shortage has caused
numerous inquiries and some pro-
tests to be sent to the County Treas
urer's office. asking the reason why
the plates have not been received.
The County Treasurer gets the
plates through the Secretary of
States Office at Des Moines and the
Secretary of State from the manufac-
turer and the manufacturer states
he has been handicapped by strikes,
coal and steel shortages and could
not get them out according to sched-
'ule, although in an advice of Feb.
to the Secretary of State, the manu-
facturer assured Winneshiek county's
total assignment of 34e0 pairs of
plates would be delivered at the
County Treasurer's Office by March 1,
1920.
The numbers originally assigne.,
to this county were 349,1ol to 352,-.
000 inclusive, and an additionai as
signment Of numbers 37G,401 to
37O,s00 inclusive, was made later.
Number plates 349,101 to 351,400
together with certificates of regis
tration and receipts for fee paid have
been delivered to the owners Of the
first $500 cars registered in the
county, and certificates Of registra-
tion and receipts for fee paid have
been delivered to those whose num-
bers We're greater than 351, 400, this
being the last pair Of plates received
and delivered.
Auto owners are requested to conf
pare the numbers given on their cer-
titicate of registration before writing
the County Treasurer's office, and il
found greater than 351, 400, to rest
assured that the plates will be ior-
warded by mail to their address as
soon as they are received at the
Treasurer's Office.
1t will be necessary for the owner
to carry the receipt for fee paid and
to carefully preserve the certificate
OF registration until certificate con-
tainer is received with the plates.
In event an owner has registered
and has not received the 1920 plates
and the old 1919 plates are still on
the car, it is only necessary If chal-
lenged by peace officer. to produce
the receipt for fee paid for 1920
which is sufficient, temporarily. to
entitle the car TO operate upon the
public highways of Iowa.
According to statement of Mr.. r.
NJ. Williams, Supt. Of the Auto Dept.
, at Des Moines, Iowa, this delay In
the delivery and manufacture Of
plates. will not again be encountered.
as the contract for 1921 plates let
on Feb. 2. 1920 and the plates ara to
be delivered at the County Treasur-
er's Office prior to November 1890.
