JOHN DAUBNEY FETED
Minnesota's Oldest Pioneer Cele-
brates His 102d Birthday
Anniversary.

Last fair week John Daubney, of
Taylors Falls, Mimi, was DEBORAH
visitor, spending several weeks with
his brother, Wilson Daubney, who
by the way is 80 years old. John
Daubney is 102 and he celebrated his
birthday last Thursday, Oct. 6. A
dispatch from Taylors Falls in Fri
days Minneapolis Tribune has the
following to say about the ami
versary.
"One hundred and two candles
graced the birthday cake prepared
for John Daubney, Minnesota's old
est pioneer today. The day was
quietly spent-Mr. Daubney taking
his usual stroll around the town, as
he does every day, but there were
more callers than appear on ordin-
airy occasions.
Territorial pioneers from the Twin
Cities and Saltwater arrived in a
body in the morning and extended
their congratulations and in the af-
ternool the townspeopIe were receiv-
ed by the pioneer at the home of
his son, John Daubney, Jr., with
whom he makes his home. Many
tokens were left at the house as re-
membranes of the occasion.
"Mr. Daubney declared himself
feeling as fine as ever and his APP
pearance bore out his assertion. His
recent trip to DEBORAH, Iowa, to visit
80 year old brother, who felt he
was too old to travel, was dwelt up
on by the oldest Minnesotan.

DEFEAT MONONA so TO 0
DEBORAH H. S. Gives MOnona An
Awful Drubbing Here Last
Friday.

With so to O, the largest score
ever made by a DEBORAH high school
football team, the Monona eleven
were the third on Decorah's sche-
dule to be defeated by them this
season. With the speed and skill the
locals have displayed this year the
invaders were no match for them.
There were but a few tunes
throughout the whole game that the
local team failed to make their ten
yards, often making from ten to
forty at one play.
With their working power in full
sway last Friday every man made
himself somewhat of star, at least
in the eyes of the local patrons
With Alyger making many good
plunges, twice being unable to throw
pass to anyone, taking the ball
himself for a touchdown, and Hand
ley making many good end runs, the
points were easily piled up.
On the line Thorsen, Visit and Nc
Cauley ran excellent interference for
every plunge of jewell or any other
back fielder.
When the score reached go to O.
the point the coach had set, he re-
placed the men for some on the
second squad, and in time had near,
~ the whole second squad in. Still
the points were made until at the
end DEBORAH had score of so to O.

CONYOCATION TALK

At the beginning of each year merchants take an inventory of their stock. This is suitable time for boys and girls to take inventory of their stock and see what they have accomplished the past year. What is the product of your investi- gation this far? What is your char acter today. Are you regular in habits and clean minded? Have you developed your mental power? We are accustomed to ascertain other peoples faults but we cannot correct them, not knowing what conditions they work under. Our school spirit has improved during the last year, and there have been few failures during the first term. The question now is what shall be our attitude toward the future? Shall we con- tinue improving, or shall we be those who pull the other way?

SHIPS NOW FASTER
THAN FREIGHT TRAINS

A motor-driven barge. large enough
to carry $4,000 bushels of wheat. re-
Gently came through from Duluth to
New York over the Great Lakes, the
Erie Canal and the Hudson river in
two days less time than the best rail-
way freight schedule and landed its
cargo for not much more than half
of what the railways would have
charged. 1t would have taken eighty
three cars to carry the wheat The
barge burns two and half tons of
crude oil a day; it can load in three
hours and unload in six. There was
a time when the railways seemed to
have put an end to inland water
transportation. but under the regula-
tions that were applied during gov
become so costly and so slow that
the water routes are again becoming
preferable for many classes of
freight Incidentally. it is interesting
to know that refrigerator steamships
coming east through the Panama
Canal are landing cargoes of fruit
from California more cheaply than
the railways can do it, and about as
quickly. 1t is probable that large
part of that valuable freight will be
permanently diverted from the rails
to the water route unless circum-
stances permit the railways to get
their charges back to something like
the rates before the war.
