Two Fire Alarms Monday.

The FIRE chemical truck was called
cut twice Monday, shortly after din
ner in quick succession. The first call
was to the Geo. Baker residence in
Cpytin's addition. A section of the
boiler above the firebox in the fur
mace cracked, and when the furnace
door was opened the cellar was filled
with steam, and the situation looked
dangerous for a moment ard the de-
partment was called. Fortunately
there was no fire resulting, and the
steam soon cleared away, and there
was no damage, only the broken
pipe, .... ..r.......
The second alarm was about two
o'clock at the home of Geo. Adams
on Washington street. Fire had
caught around a galvanized pipe
through the roof, and had burned a
hole through before the truck arriv-
ed, but the blaze vas put out quick
ly, with very little damage done.

THE WEDDING STOPPED.
Call for Aid to Sew Up Throat Stop
ped a New Years Wedding.

Washington, Ia.-There was a most
embarrassing moment in the we'd
ding ceremony of Maynard Brown
and Miss Alta Munson Wright, which
took place here New Years eve at
the home of the brides parents.
The Rev. w. w. Bowers, the Off
ciating minister, had reached that
part in the ceremony where he ask
ed, "Who gives this woman away ?p
when an excited voice, sulnmoning
DR.. Hull, who was among the guests,
called from the doorway, Henry
come quickly, Ruth has cut her
throat on the windshield"
The brides father was startled
to the extent that he was unable
10 answer the minister's question;
the guests, many of whom had
heard only the statement Ruth has
cut her throat were in panic, and
the minister was in doubt as to
whether or not he should proceed.
After moment, however, the
doctor slipped out to the man who
had caused the interruption, and
the ceremony went on. 1t was dis
covered later, that Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry. Berdo, who were on their
way to the ceremony, had been in
an auto accident, and that Mrs.
Berdo had been thrown through the
windshield, her face and throat be-
ing badly lacerated. Her husband
knowing that DR.. Hull was to be a
guest at the wedding, had gone inn
mediately' to the Wright home, with
the above results.
The injured woman was taken to
"a hospital, where it was discovered
that it'would be necessary to take a
number of stitches to close the
wounds She is much improved.

Alcohol for Automobile.

Two and six-tenths gallons of
pure alcohol, it is claimed, can now
be made from one gallon of corn.
This is the equivalent Of nearly eight
gallons Of whiskey, which is SO per
cent alcohol. But it is proposed to
use it now for motors where gaso
line is used Alcohol has more power
in it per gallon. With this turn in the
industry, corn growers, it is predict
ed will be greatly benefited. If the
+ol fields are giving out, the corn
fields can be still more enlarged.

Talking State Park for Deoor4h-


There was a National Conference
on Parks held at Des Moines last
week, with a large attendance. r.
E. Biermann was present as a re-
preventative from the Commercial
Club. There has been some talk Of
DEBORAH getting a State Park, which
would include the hills north of the
city along the ice cave road, from
the Void property and Dunning's
Springs east along the bluff for a
considerable distance. OF course this
property would have to be purchased
.by the city or individuals in the
first place, but this doesn't mean
that the individuals would have to
pay all the purchase money as the
general assembly appropriates re-
gularly for this purpose. The matter
will be agitated further and what
will become of the matter we are not
able to state at this time.
Mr.. Biermann gave an outline of
the proposition at the Commercial
Club dinner Monday.
Fort Atkinson has promise now of
state park to preserve the old
Fort. In Des Moines last week
Messrs. Geo. Bieber, Frank Pouska,
Joe A. Huber, Frank Schneider, Geo.
Cooney, Joe Chekal and Anton Mos
er pledged $1,000 for the Fort site
and the state will furnish the rest.

Dies Moines, Jan. II, 1921.
DR.. A. F. Barefoot,
DEBORAH, Iowa.
Dear DR.. Barfoot:
The news in your letter of January
IA is bad. 1t goes without saying
that it is to be regretted very much
that the proposition for better hous-
ing facilities for your high school
was defeated by such a decisive MA
jority.
The DEBORAH situation was discuss
ed at meeting Of the Iowa COM
mittee of the North Central .Associa-
ton at Marshalltown Friday, Janu-
airy Ia. From personal visitation |
know that the high school work at
DEBORAH is hampered at every turn
by lack of room and inadequate ar
rangements.
The effect of this action on the
part of your community will be q
warning" from the North Central
Association of Colleges and Second
airy Schools at its next meeting
which will occur the middle of March.
One of the standards of this Assoc
iation deals directly with housing
This official warning"
means that your school will be con-
tinued on the accredited list for the
current school year but will be
dropped from the list in 1922 unless
he deficiency mentioned is removed. !
Graduates of your high school will
still be admitted to the State Insti-
buttons for Higher Education in I
Iowa, since the requirements for
such admission stipulate graduation !
from tour-year high school.
Very sincerely yours,
JOHN E. FOSTER,
Secretary Board on Secondary
School Relations,

Flood Protection Bill Coming Up.

Atty. j. A. Nelson arrived home
Saturday night from Des Moines,
where he had been on business at
the opening of the Legislature. He
went down to see what could be done
towards getting a change made in
the food protection law, in refer
eRce to the right to issue bonds for
this work in cities the size of De-
corah. The present law applies to
cities of $4,000 or over, and they
could issue bonds over the entire city
for payment of part of the cost of
the improvement, and the balance to
be paid by special assessment Of
property in the food sarea. The new
BILL making the change TO smaller

vALUINC TEACHERS

listen to the words of Roger AS
cham:
1T is pity that commonly more
care is had. and that among very wise
men, to find out rather cunning man
for their horse than cunning man
to teach their children. They say nay
a word. but they do so in deed For
in the one they will gladly give sti-
pend OF zee crowns by the year and
are loath to offer the other 200 shil-
I:ngs.''
Who is this Roger Ascham? An
educator featuring before teachers
Institutes and demanding better train
ing and better wages for teachers? Or
rs he some school superintendent
calling on the board OF education to
wake up?
Neither,
Roger Ascha1n lived more than 300
years ago and in treatise on the
schoolmaster he addressed himself to
the folks OF his time concerning the
low value placed upon the services of
teachers. But his words have IA
miliar ring. One can hear their like
any day in any group of modern I'm.
derpaid teachers.
Civilization has advanced a long way
since Roger Ascham's day, but rela.
lively speaking, its appraisal of. a
teachers worth is no higher than that
which prevailed in 1868, when Ascham
wrote.
While our educational systems have,
until recently. attempted to shape all
minds in the same mold. horse train
ers have known for many years how
to cultivate the good points of the in
dividual horse. 1t is only in the past
decade that school systems have be-
gun to concern themselves with the
individual child rather than the child
lin the mass
