CROP REPORTS
AID BUSINESS
Indications of Bumper Harvests
Are Bright Spots on Bust
ness Horizons
PRICE AVERAGES LOWER
Advance of Epring Planting Indicates
Ability q Farmers to
Finance

That exceptionally good outlooks for
fall harvests in all parts of the coun'
try are being reflected in the general
trend of business, is the declaration OF
financial men in summarizing the
present business conditions.
LAS the prosperity of any large
country is vitality affected by its asri-
cultural production, the reports com
ing from many authoritative sources
indicating a big crop of winter wheat,
rye and hay must be considered an
exceptionally bright spot on the hori-
zon of business" says the June month
ly financial review of the Old National
bank of Spokane.
Planting Well Along
1.-THE fact that spring planting has
progressed much faster than is usua!
at this time of the year is good eyi-
dence that the farmers are on the JOB
and that those who are short OF
money, because of falling prices on
their products, have found some way
to employ and pay additional help.
agricultural reports were never
more promising and. although the
fruit crops have suffered the usual
frosts and freezes, and the hay and
grain crops have gone through sudden
and severe weather changes. the out
look for the year is enough to gladden.
the heart of every farmer and every
business man in the country. Once
these crops are harvested, business
must improve.
Prices Lowering
1.-THE average price of all commod-
tiles May / was $401S3 compared
with $415.7O a month before, S723,5S
year ago and $35S.77 on August !
1914. The drop in the average in
wholesale price of all commodities
averaged for all markets would appear
to be nearing completion. A drop OF
- per cent in the average Price OF
all commodities would put the index
figure below prewar or below August
1. 1914. A number of prime commod
tiles have already sold at wholesale
below the prewar price and many 9th
ers are likely to folio wsuit. 1t il
hardly possible. however, that all 81
the prime commodities could he at the
bottom at one time and, as prices dc
cline on some, advances will occur in
others so that the general or averags
price of all commodities is not likely
to go much lower.
Big Hay Crop.
1.-THE hay crop forecase for 1921 is
los, 900, 900 tons, the same as last year
and 1000 900 tons below TIE 1919 crop
, Stocks of hay on farms are 80 per cent
heavier than year ago, however, sc
that If the promised crop should ma
terialize there would be a surplus Of
about 100000 tons ovor the coun

The Man of 81

An interesting example Of physical
activity is being given every day at
Washington by Gen. John j. Perish
ing. Though 81 years of age, and
more than busy with his new work
as chief of staff, yet he gets out
every day to play polo with the
Young athletes. II every man Of 81
could thus keep up his physical
activity, many premature break
downs would be averted.
Moving your own lawn, raising
lovely flowers, or cultivating use
full vegetable garden, will help equal
ly well keep a man or woman young.
The great trouble with the people
Of that age is that they go out
once or twice to do a piece of mus
cular work, and after getting
thoroughly tired they quit and fee
that active days are over. If the!
would do few moments work al
first, gradually doing more as the!
gain strength, they would soon FIND
their powers greatly increased.

Leave for Market Saturday

Marshall Barge, manager of the
DEBORAH Coat & Suit Store will leave
Saturday evening for Chicago 10
study fashions in womens apparel
for fall and to purchase a large
stock of fall goods for the local
store. He will be gone for about
10 days visiting a great many of
the leading dress, skirt, and coat
designers Of the east who will have
their lines open in Chicago.
According TO word from the large
manufacturing centers, the fashions
in womens apparel this fall will be
more attractive than any put out
since the war. All the large con-
Germs making women's coats, skirts,
and dresses have had time to read
just since the big price drop of the
last year and it is reported that some
unusual values will be put on the
market this season. BY visiting the
larger producers personally Mr..
Barge expects to reap the full bene-
fit Of this chance in obtaining the
latest fashions at the best price OBJ
tainable Mrs. Barge will accompany
him on the trip.

Feels Like a Bow Again

John Daubney, of Taylor Falls,
MINI, is here on his annual visit TO
his brother, Wilson Daubney. He is
1O2 years old, but we understand
has dropped the TO- and calls it
only 2. Well we guess he is alright
in that as he seems as frisky as any
two year old we ever saw. He al
ways travels alone and makes il a
point TO get to DEBORAH every year
for the Winneshiek fair. He is the
last one Of the territorial pioneers of
Minnesota. His brother Wilson is 90
years old. They are remarkable men,
possessing good vitality and are en-
joying life in every way.

Motor VS.. Railroads

Some time ago we read little
story about how the railroads lost
100000 in freights because the
onion farmers of Texas found that
the hauling charges by boat from
Galveston, Texas, TO New York City
were about half what the railroads
were charging under their present
Internationally high rates. The onions
Just fioated into New York. The
Texas farmers saved lot Of money
and the railroads lost 100000 even
If they had only charged the boat
freight rate.
A. d. Hill is a general store keep
er at Pineville, y. Y, 40 miles from
Kingston, and buy his goods at
Kingston. The railroad station at
Pineville is a mile up hin from Mr..
Hills store. The railroad charges
80 cents a hundred for freight from
Kingston to Pineville and after that
there is the cost of loading and haul
ing down that mile to the store. A
motor trucking concern now brings
Mr.. Hills goods from Kingston at
soc a hundred and DELIVERS 1T
AT HIS DOOR.
Another case of the motor putting
thousands OF such examples the
country over and there will be more.
If the railroads don't wake up pretty
soon, the motor will take all the
profit there possibly can be in rail
reading.
And it isn't rates alone that show
the backwardness OF railroad man
agement today. Not only are their
methods wasteful, but their very
fundamentals are unduly expensive.
Compare what locomotive will dc
with what the same cost in motor
trucks will do?
Ii will be interesting TO hear what
Henry Ford will get finally in speed
and hauling ability, cheapness Of
construction and fuel, reduction o.
running expense, and efficiency o.
transportation out of the new motol
locomotives with which he is expert
lmenting.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT MONDAY
Little % Months Old Boy Has Right
Arm Cut OF by Mil
waukee Train.
Son of Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Whitaker.
Little Fellow Getting Along
Well at Hospital.

A deplorable accident happened
Monday forenoon when the eleven
O'Clock Milwaukee train was coming
into DEBORAH. Mr.. and Mrs. Louis
Whitaker, parents of little boy %
months old reside in the Mrs. I. B.
Hauge residence on st. Lawrence
street, two blocks south of the Ing
uldstad lumber yard, and the resi-
dence is half block east of the
railroad tracks on st. Lawrence.
Their little son was playing out in
the front yard and when the train
came along he toddled up towards
the track, taking the middle OF the
read. He reached the crossing the
same time the train did and was run
over, and his right arm was severed
completely close 10 the shoulder, and
he also received big bruise on the
forehead.
The engine caught him in the
center OF the road, we understand,
and dragged him 10 or Is feet TO
the crossing used by pedestrians.
Engineer Niles was in charge Of the
engine and ne stopped the engine as
quick as he could, and none Of the
cars passed over the child and he
was taken out between the tender
OF the engine and baggage car. The
ehild's arm was completely severed
and was picked up by Baggageman
Floyd Sanders.
Three physicians, prs. Stabo, jew
ell and Daily were on the scene IN
a very few minutes, but before they
arrived the railroad men had given
first aid by tying the child's arm.
The doctors rushed him 10 the hos
pital, and the little fellow is now
recovering from the awful shock.
Mr.. and Mrs. Whitaker came 10
DEBORAH from King City, No, this
month and took rooms in the Mrs.
T. B. Hauge residence on July p.
Mrs. Whitaker is a Waucoma girl,
formerly Miss Kate Lynch. She is
sister of Mrs. Luke O'Brien, of
Button. Mr.. Whitaker is in the
picture business and takes orders for
enlarging pictures.
Their friends extend much SYM
pathy to them in their trouble. The
little boy is their only child, a little
girl, eight years old, passing away
three years ago.
Numerous accidents have happened
on the Milwaukee within the city
limits of DEBORAH in the past few
years, and many suggetions have
been put forth with regards TO pro-
tecting the public, by gates, flag
men, or otherwise, but nothing has
ever been done along that line.

Lose Money on Hides

Bollinger & Co. and Holmberg &
Erickson shipped out car load of
hides this week. Mr.. Bolinger tells
us that he received $3.50 for 204
hides at cents a pound, and two
years ago he figured these same
hides would have brought nearer
$4,000. The car brought around
5000. One item Bollinger & Co. had
was 500 for salt used in keeping the
hides. Well it looks like leather goods
ought to be getting cheaper pretty
soon.

CHAUTAUQUA PATRONS
HAVE RARE TREAT
ON SECOND DAY

Patrons of the Hallowell Chautau-

hands of the Recital Artists at City
hall Friday evening, in program
that featured violin, vocal and piano
solos. and a stirring lecture by FL
lott Boyl entitled The Advantage
of a Handicap"
The musical program was indeed
excellent. The artists were at their
best and captivated their audience
at once by their fine rendition of sew
eral numbers. The program includ-
ed selections from classical works
and the songs included also humorous
novelties and some of the more
popular ballards.
Mr.. BoyTs message was inspiring
and all who listened to him were en-
thusiastic in their praise.
Today will mark the closing of the
Chautauqua and will present the
school children of the city in their
wonderful pageant, Junior He'll
days." which will introduce some ex-
cellent dancing of we'll known num-
bers and some folk dancing. The
special feature OF the day will be the
