Fort Madison Newspaper Woman.
| Miss Greeley, who comes of well
known Ottun1wa family. was formerly
| a well known newspaper woman of
Fort Madison, and it was while en-
!ployed on the Fort Madison Democrat
that she met and fell in love with
Harry Lemmon, a convict serving q
term for forgery. She interested
others in his case and was instru-
mental in securing his release on
parole.
The parole was granted about a
year ago and Lennon took the young
woman with him to Creston, Iowa.
Under the terms of the parole he |
could not leave the state nor marty
for a year and was required to make
monthly reports to the board during |
that time. Lennon and Miss Greeley |
agreed to live as man and wife until |

After making ten reports while at
Creston and with but two months to

Lennon decided that the stigma of

to Creston was too much to bear, and

County Library Work.

A fine example of what can be done
to furnish modern library and read
ing facilities, to people living in re-
mote rural villages is given in
Washington county, Maryland. For
the past 20 years books have been
distributed throughout the county
from a central library located in
Hagerstown, the county seat town,
to about rs branch Libraries located
about the county.
Since 1915 books have been dis
tributed by a motor truck carrying
500 books, besides small Libraries
for schools. Each route in the county
has usually been visited twice year.
Every family is given the chances to
take 20 to 80 books, for six months
period.
In this way the most remote Will
age is placed in touch with the lat
est and best books. The expense has
varied from $4,000 to 100000 a
year. The benefits far outweigh the
small cost, and help make countrS
life attractive.

FREE LECTURE SOON.
Retail Merchandising Lecture to be
Given at Grand Opera House,

Great interest is being manifested
in the retail merchandising lecture
which is being brought to this city
by DEBORAH Commercial Club, and
will be shown free of charge to all
merchants and clerks on Monday
night, April II, 1920, at s O'Clock in
the Grand opera house. The lecture
which has been prepared by the Ma
tional Cash Register Company, con-
tains the result of thirty-ffve years
spent in collecting retail merchan-
dising ideas from merchants in all
parts of the world, and is by far the
best lecture of it's character on the
road today.
Mr.. G. w. Sully will be the lectur-
err, and by means of steroptican
slides and motion pictures he will dis
cuss the causes of failures, and ex-
plain some of the latest methods of
storekeeping. An interesting feature
of the lecture will be the part de-
voted to newspaper advertising.
Writing of newspaper advertise
ments, selection of mediums, and the
necessity for a policy of continuous
advertising by the retailer will be
taken up in detail. By the same
method the question of proper Win
dow display, delivery problems, per-
lection of store organization, and
other interesting matters will be dis
cussed.
In addition the feature film, "The
Troubles of Merchant, and How to
Stop Them" will be shown. This film
has been exhibited before CONNER
cial bodies, conventions, and other
organizations from coast to coast.
and has everywhere been declared to
be the best exposition of modern
business methods ever given. W.
The film tells in an interesting
manner the story of merchant who
through lax business methods aud
poor system, had been brought to
the verge of BANKRUPTCY. The causes
for his failure are wildly portrayed
by the Aim. His clerks were indifer.
lent, his goods badly arranged,I his
system thoroughly disorganized
When his hopes were at the loves
ebb, change came in his career, ant
by the installation of modern bust
ness methods, and Encouragement o
his store, he rose to prosperity.
Because of the enthusiasm created
in other cities where the film hat
been shown, it is expected that {
capacity audience will greet the lee
Iture in this city. Every scene is. sait
to contain lesson. All merchant!
and salespeople in the city are invit
ed to attend. No charge for admis
sion. =

head of grade Shorthorns to Chicago
for Hill & Williams, Of Frankville.
Six of the cattle were of such high

cents on the Chicago market. This
certainly speaks well for Winneshiek
