DeIightfuI Trip On Good Roads

Mr.. and Mrs. T. NJ. Halverson and
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. P. B. Hal

from a two weeks visit sat Am
herst, Wis, on a visit to relatives.
The trip was made by auto. T. NJ.
says they rode over so miles of con-
crete roads, and he had it figured
out that good old Winneshiek is badly
in need of different types of roads
than we now have, and we ought to
have at least some good, highly
graveled roads as it is the next best
bet to hard surfaced roads. Good
road are an asset to any community,
and it always seemed to us with the
immense amount Of money spent on
them year after year that we ought
to get something somewhere near
permanent during the next hundred
years.

STOLE TIRE, LEFT FORD
somebody Hooked Perfectly Good
Tire From A. S. Murphy's
Car Sunday Night.

Auto tire thieves were busy in De-
corah Sunday night. A full grown,
first class Henry Ford runabout, be-
longing to A. S. Murphy, the oil
stock salesman was left standing in
the alley by the Marsh Music House
Sunday night. The Ford retired in
usual health and spirits, and pros
poets looked good for a nights rest
and breakfast of high test Hawk
eye gas. In the morning when Mr..
Murphy went to arouse Henry from
his slumbers he discovered that some
one had removed a tire from one Of
the front wheels. On making a lit
tie inventory he discovered that the
night visitors had also taken a per-
fectly good tube from the tool box.
To make a long story short there
was perfectly mad Irishman
around for a while, and Carpenters
chances would be poorer with this
Irishman than they are with the one
he is going to scrap" with on July
2. Result is that a garage man sold
a new tire Monday morning and
Mr.. Murphy and his Ford are spin
ming over the boulevards, the same
as before, and it is well for tire
spectators to keep away from Muir
phys car in the future.

Enforcing the Curfew

The mayor of Springfield, Missouri,
has just dealt a blow to the frying
size" youngsters of that town. In
fact, he intends to give them blow
every night of the week, for he is
enforcing an old curfew ordinance
which makes it a misdemeanor for
minors of opposite sex to ride to-
gether in automobiles between the
hours of 8 p. m. and a. M, unless
accompanied by parents or otherwise
chaperoned. The penalty run from
500 to thirty days in Jail, and the

BAND IN SOUTH DAKOTA
Luther College Concert Band Meet
ing With Best of Success.

The Luther College Concert Band
lis meeting with the best of success
on its tour. During the last week
several cities i'm South Dakota have
been visited, among them Mitchell,
Woonsocket, Huron, and Toronto.
Everywhere the band has been most
Hospitality welcomed; almost in ev-
cry stop The people OF the Lutheran
congregat ions have taken the boys
into their homes for meals, so the
cost Of living has been considerably
reduced. The people consider them
selves repaid by the music rendered
by the band. 1t is generally adj
mitted that the quality of music
rendered by the Luther College con-
cert band is far superior to what
is common. Frequently there are
musicians and musical critics who
express themselves as never having
heard better band music. The Luz
Their college concert band is even
compared to the Minneapolis Sym
phony Orchestra, but it is hardly fair
either to a band or an orchestra to
draw a similarity between them, be-
cause they are different in their COM
position. But it is true that the Luz
Their college concert band plays the
best masterpieces with orchestral
effect, and therein lies its superior
ity to other bands. A band leader
in WATERFOWL, S. D., who had heard
this band and Sousa's and several
others in San Francisco in 1915 as
sisted greatly in working up interest
in the concert in Toronto, S. d.,
and said that people could say any
thing they were minded TO about the
Luther band, it could not be too
strong to do justice to the excellence
of that organization. People who
never before knew where Luther
College and DEBORAH is, are becom-
ing interested.

Real Minstrels Tomorrow Night

For singing and dancing none car
excel the colored race, and it seems
the cream of the colored talent has
been brought into the Famous Geor-
gia Minstrels, at least this company
has established itself as a top liner
attraction and is not thought of as
a "nigger show"-It being in the
same class and character as any
white minstrel, unless it be that it is
superior, and the white people ap-
preciating the efforts of these de-
serving people are very ib.ral in
their patronage.
So far this season, reports verify
the fact that five nights out of the
week, hundreds are turned away
from the Famous Georgia Ministries.
They will be here at the Grand,
tomorrow, Thursday night, June %.

AUTO ACCIDENT SUNDAY
Canton Car Turns Turtle OF Bank
Near Bradish Home.

An automobile accident occurred in
DEBORAH Sunday afternoon about
$50, which resulted very fortunately
for the five occupants of the car.
Mr.. and Mrs. liver Oraker and
daughter, the latter about six years
of age and Mr.. and Mrs. Aft. Jewell
drove down from Canton, Mimi, in
Mr.. Oraker's five passenger bort
car. They started up to the city
park, and when they reached the
Methodist church found the street
blocked on account of paving, so
turned south on the street between
the Congregational church and BradA
ish residence. Two roads fork off
here, one leading up hill i'll the rear
of the Bradish residence, which leads
into the alley, and the other runs
south past the L. r. Morrison home
and comes out on Jefferson street.
Mr.. Oraker took the first road that
looked good 70 him and started up
the hill in the rear of the Bradish
home. He was nearly out of gas,
but didn't know it at the time, and
when the car was nearing the top
of the steep incline the engine went
dead, and the brakes refused to work,
the car backed down the hill and fell
off the bank, which is a steep one,
down about fifteen feet to the other
road. The car turned turtle and all
of the occupants were pinned UNI
derneath. Fortunately the top was
up and this saved all of the occup-
ants from serious injury. They
crawled out from underneath the car,
and none were injured outside of a
couple slight scratches received, and
Mrs. Oraker's shoulder was bruised
little. 1t was indeed a narrow
escape. The only damage done to
the car was the smashing of the
top and windshield, and the bending
of a fender a little, and the car
was righted and run under its own
power shortly afterwards.

Gold and Silver on Iowa Farm

Iowa is sure making some of the
other states set up and take notice
these days, as gold and silver in pay
ing quantities has been discovered
on the Bernard Smith farm, seven
miles north of Emmetsburg, accord
ing to reports from a Chicago assay
Office, and it has started wild excite
ment in the north part of Palo Alto
county along the banks of the Des
Moines River. A large section of
the county is underlaid with great
gravel beds in which the gold and
silver is said to have been found.
On a farm north of New Hamp-
ton last week Jack Roethler found
chunk of almost pure copper,
while digging tile ditch on the old
Nordness farm eight miles north of
New Hampton.

Commercial Club Votes No


Last Wednesday a meeting of the
Commercial Club was called in the
interests of the contemplated gas
and oil investigation in DEBORAH. A
proposition was submitted to the club
to put up $500, and eleven other
men We're to put up like amount,
making a fund of $4,000 to get
biologists here and make an in
vestigation whether or not there is
oil or gas in the ground here. A
heated discussion of the proposition
was INDUCED in by different mem
bers OF the club, pro and con on
the subject. At the conclusion
President Johnson called for vote
on the proposition. There were Sc
members present and the vote stood
SO against the proposition and q for
it. Whether the investigation will be
carried on by the other eleven i'm
dividuals we are not prepared to
state now. There has been rumors
OF oil or gas here for long time,
and an investigation is the only way
to find out, and whether it is here
or not, then everybody would be sat
isfied. Perhaps the matter will be
taken up later and an investigation
pushed to see whether we are walk
ing over fortunes in oil and gas. The
proposition might prove a fizzle and
on the other hand it might prove
the biggest thing that ever occurred
in this section.
