1t will be news to the many old

friends of Ex-Sheriff George Mizener
to know that he is director in the
Home Oil & Gas Co., of Spokane,
Washington. The company is strict
ly a Spokane concern, organized
along Conservative lines. The. COM
pany is capitalized for S150,000, and
is credited as being one of the most
popular as well as energetic COM
panies in the field. Here Is hoping
George reaps a fortune, and he has
hundreds of friends here who win
rejoice in his good fortune.
Statistics given out by U. S. gov
eminent reports nearly 80 per cent
of all oil wells drilled in the United
States have been producers. And
at that rate the Decorah Pioneer Oil
& Gas Co. should be spouting up oil
and gas in Decorah pretty soon.
The company is getting ready now
and will soon be in shape for oper7
ating.
The company Mr.. Mizener is in
terested in at Spokane has just erect

The peace time service of the
American Red Gross is translated
into terms of Health Service to Iowa
in summary of the work of the
Red Cross Public Health Nurses in
Iowa for the. first six months of the
year, which has just been received
by the Winneshiek county Chapter
from the Central Division Office.
More than $4,000 of Iowa's school
children were inspected for physical
defects and contagious diseases and
among them $500 were found to
have one or more physical defects.
Defects of teeth We're most pre-
|yalent. 400 of all the children in
speeted needing dental correction.
Need of throat examination by a
physician was, plainly indicated by
27eo of the children; defects of vis-
ion were noted among 20%, defects
of hearing among 49e. Of the 50,S97
school children who were weighed
and measured 27l2g "a were 10 or
more under weight, plainly in need
of diet better suited to meet all
the demands Of their swiftly grow
ing bodies.
To meet the all too evident health
needs of the community, approx
mately 250 clinics have been arrang-
ed in cooperation with local physir
clans ard dentists during the six
months. In addition ts,,st 81 o local

Geologist Here Last Week Found
Several New Places of Out

Russell V. John, of Billings, Mont.
petroleum geologist, was in De
corah last week, making survey
of the country adjacent to Decorah
and he was very favorably impress
ed and agreeably surprised at the
geological structure here. He found
several places of outcropping gas
along the river that hadn't been
found before.
The big oil derrick has been in
Decorah for more than a week now
and the Pioneer Oil & Gas Co. ex,
peot to start building the derrick the
Last of this week.
Just where the derrick will be SET
up has not been decided, but the
place will be announced the last OF
the week, just as soon as all the
leases are in.
The work is going along in fine
shape and good many have pur-
chased stock, at 500 a share. II
oil is struck these fellows with a
one hundred dollar share will be
waxing fat and their interest will
run to thousands. The work ,ot
prospecting is going to mean consid-
cradle work for many men here, and
viii bring IA large number of Wis

Peace With Germany

The American people are mighty
clad that that after three years
pickering, our statesmen have been
able to get together and agree on
some kind of treaty with Germany.
People may not be wholly satisneo
with the deal. But no possible eho
is gained by continuing technicai
state of war that exists only III
dreamland.
Our folks in this country are
magnanimous and forget wrongs
quickly, if others show recipfo ocal
spirit. If the German will quit their
war talk and cultivate the arts OIL
peace. they will make friends las.
enough. If they still cherish ideas Oh
dominating the world, they VIII nha
that their every motion is watched
and the world will be IN league
