LIKED DEBORAH PLAYERS
Waukon Boosts Our Ball Players Who
Were on Waukon Team
This Year.

Sunday, Sept. IL game with Gale
donia was the final game for the
Waukon team, and this week has
been spent in winding up the affairs
of the season. Waukon has had a
winning team and played a quality
of base ball away above that of any
previous year, winning a large maj
GRITTY of all games played for the
entire season.
Able" Martin left yesterday af-
ternoon for his home at Mason City
and Wolgamot leaves today for Gel
vein where he will spend a few
days before going to his home at
Fairbanks, Iowa. Hans Anderson
leaves today for his home at De-
corah, and Orwell has already de-
parted for his home in the western
part of the state.
Waukon has maintained an aver
age Of three salaried players during
the season and all of them have
been fine, gentlemanly set Of play
ers, and have added greatly to the
interest maintained with the fans
as we'll as the players. If Wolga-
mat, Orwell, Able Martin, Chuck
Weiser and Hans Anderson could
be secured to start the season in
Waukon next spring, this with the
local talent available, would give
Waukon one of the very fastest
teams in northeastern Iowa and give
Waukon a base ball team that would
leave their mark in the winning
column of this part of the state

Sudden Death Mrs. Heber Robinson !

Sudden Death Mrs. Heber Robinson
Last week we had a brief men,
ton of the death of Mrs. Heber Rob-
inson, which occurred at Waukon on
Sept. 9. The Waukon Republican and
Standard gives the following obitu-
airy:
Relatives and friends of Mrs.
Heber Robinson, who was visiting
relatives here, were shocked to learn
of her sudden death which occurred
Friday morning. Mrs. Robinson came
to Waukon one day last week from
Minneapolis, where she made her
home with daughter, and was visit
ing at the home of her niece, Mrs.
Bert Dickson. She was apparently
in her usual good health until few
minutes before her death. Not feel
ing well, she went up stairs to rest
and when Mrs. Dickson went to her
room few minutes later she found
her in a critical condition and she
passed away before medical aid could
be procured. Death was due to the
infrmities of age.
Cynthia Jane Page was born in
Lower Canada, January 10, 1885, and
died at the home of her niece, Mrs.
Bert Dickson, in Waukon, Iowa Sep
TENDER 9th, 1921, aged Sc years, 7
months and 20 days.
She was joined in marriage with
Heber Robinson in July 1850. They
came to Illinois in their early mar
ried life, afterwards moved to Mo
wer County, Minnesota, and removed
to Iowa in 1863, during the Sioux
war. They settled in Glenwood, and
afterwards at Freeport, then for a
few years they were in Waukon fin
ally returning to Freeport, where her
husband died. Since his death Mrs.
Robinson has lived with her daugh-
ters in Minneapolis.
Their family consisted of seven
children; one boy dying in infancy,
and another boy dying 30 years ago.
The living are r. 7. and A. B. Rob
inson, Mrs G. B. Rock and Mrs. Jas.
Pearson all of Minneapolis, and Mrs.
G. W. Drake of Los Angeles, Calf.
She leaves also two brothers, Ebene-
ger Page of Fresno, Calf, and Dor
son Page of Rockford, Ill.
The father of Mrs. Robinson was
Baptist minister, and she was many
years a member of that church. She
was a good woman and many friends
were gathered around her in life.
She came to DEBORAH, Freeport
and Waukon to visit these friends
and relatives, and in the midst of
her enjoyment was called away to
the great majority of these friends
which she knew on earth and who
have crossed the food.
Following a brief funeral service
at the Dickson home Sunday after.
noon at 1870 the remains were taker
to Freeport, near DEBORAH, for burial
beside her husband"

COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES

The material for the Modern Health
Crusade is here, and is being sent out
together with letter to each teacher.
It is hoped that every teacher will try
and make it a success. AS soon as we
get our new course of study in physi-
ology, it will be found that this work
is required in every school in the state.
Let's get the work started this year.
The Christmas Seals are here. This
county has been allotted five hundred
dollars worth. Every school is ex-
pected to sell at least ten cents worth
for each child, If it can possibly do so.
All the rural schools will be visited
within the next ten days if the wealth
er is good. Last year the county su-
perintendent visited two hundred
twenty-one schools. This was con-
siderably more than the year previous.
We have made one hundred thirty-six
visits since July 31st, this year.
The regular November teachers ex-
animation is being held this week.
The attendance is much less than in
years past as we have more teachers
who are certificated.
It is gratifying to see how most Of
the teachers are taking hold of the va
rious school activities this year.
There are q number who are not keep
ing in pace, and it will be necessary
for them to get busy or we will have
to dispense with their services no
matter whether they hold certificates
or not. We don't want any body to
block the wheels of progress.

ARMISTICE DAY EXERCISES

The President of the United States
has issued proclamation relative to
! Armistice Day. He requests that
every one in the confines of the United
States do tribute to the unknown SOL
der who is to be buried that day in
Arlington Cemetery.
! The exercises to be held will be brief
and will be as follows:
At eleven o'clock the whistle on the
light plant will blow, and every per-
son is requested to face to the west
and, uncover. for period of two min
utes. At Hop a bugler will blow
"Taps." !" The band will then give a
patriotic concert on the corner by the
band hall.
The reason for the request for the
people to face; to the west and uncover
for the two minutes is this: When a
soldier dies he is said by his COM
fades to shave gone west," and the
uncovering is in respect Of their MEM
ory. ,sa J
we start next weeke practicing the
reasons: It was on the 11th month,
11th day at the 11th hour that the Ar
. mistice went into effect 1t is at this
, hour when the unknown soldier, rep
resenting all those who died in the
service Of their country, is to be buried
with the military honors due to Cen
eral of the line, at the greatest mill
tary cemetery in the United States.
Arlington.
All flags should fly at half mast un-
til the hour 11:02 after which they
should be raised to full mast.
All ex-service men are requested to
meet at the Legion rooms at 1O:45
(uniform optional) so that at the ap-
propriate hour you can do the proper
honor for those buddies Of ours who
have made the Supreme sacrifice.

WHY SUPPORT THE RED CROSS
- NOW? 81

We advised headquarters some time
ago that this county % too hard up
to rut on . membership drive this fall.

reasons why we should continue the

tions are such that the results will BE-
very small.
We must remember that the Red
Cross Is . great big national organiza-
tion supported by voluntary member
ship fees coming from every part of
this country. By its noble work it
has made friends everywhere. It has
friends in Emmons county, too. Let's

11th to the 24th. Vi

Orioin of Famous Phrase.

There was q time when Letter
20, Gallagher" meaning start or "cut
loose" was heard In all parts OF the
United States. The exclamation was
originated by Judge Beaver, of Nor
gan county, KY, during a trotting
meeting in Tippon county.
The judge had entered mare which
was driven by one Gallagher, the city
marshal of Harrodsburg. Some Of the
sporting fraternity, thinking to catch
the Judge mapping, entered famous
fast trotter against his horse. At the
end of the first half-mile the two
racers approached the wire neck and
neck at a 2 40 pace. At this moment
the judge shouted:
Letter go Gallagher
Gallagher hearing the words, loosed
the reins and the mare rushed for
ward and won by almost a dozen
lengths.

Tinted Writing Paper.

Oculists have often called attentions
to the fact that the eyes are easily
fatigued by the reflection from white
paper, especially when the surface is;
under strong light. Since green is
known to be the color most restful to
the eyes, it is a. common practice to-
use wall papers and draperies of that
color in libraries and private studies.
For writing paper, however, green is
an unsatisfactory color. Tt imparts
reddish appearance to the writing and
makes it hard to- read. Yellow writ
ing paper is not, open to the same OBJ
lection. In strong daylight it is softer
than pure white paper, and in artifi-
cial light 1t is not too dark. Black
letters on yellowish background
show clear and distinct. Many mathe-
maticians use yellow paper in figuring
long and difficult calculations, and
many writer's have adopted 1t for man.
uscripts. 1t has the additional merit
Of cheapness.

"Voicesn of Crickets-

Criekets sing with their wings and
not with their legs. And katydids do
the same. You do not believe it?
Since you were little child you have
been told that crickets made their
chirping sounds by rubbing their hind
legs together or scraping their legs
against their wings or sides, or some
thing like that. At any rate, they
made what might be called foot notes
or sang by leg power.
Insect students have settled the
question. They say that crickets, like
nearly all other varieties of singing
insects, have distinguishing organs"
at the base of their wings. Rubbing
these organs together, they produce
vibrations and the wings, which are
hollow, serve as sounding boards and
increase the volume of the sound.
The distinguishing organs" look like
two small folded wings having saw
like edges The insect rasps these two
saw edges together

First Great Warship.

The first real advance in securing
stability and great carrying power In
a ship was made by British architect,
Phineas PETIT, who built the Sovereign
Of the Seas, to carry 100 guns, in 1887.
After launching he found that her
enormous upper works, in which he
had followed the fashion and, in
cidentally, the shipping defect Of his
period, made her somewhat unstable.
So he took her back, boldly swept
away all the cumbrous upper fittings,
increased her length, gave her two
decks instead Of the original three, and
refioated her as the Royal Sovereign.
Under this latter title she re-

Accidentally Shot While Hunt.
ing.

Darlington Democrat: Kenneth
Crippen, about IL years old, was &C
cidently shot Sunday morning while
with his father and Peter Komprood,
who were hunting a short distance
south of the city. The youngster
had been warned more than once as
to his place in the hunt and had up
to the time of the accident, faithfully
kept his orders. While Mr.. Crippen
was walking along the outer edge of
the timber, he leveled and fired at a
rabbit. A cry for help soon brought
the party together where the boy
was writhing with pain. He was
hurried to the city where it was
found that at least thirty of the shot
had entered his legs, back and
shoulders. He is at present recover
ing rapidly due perhaps to the fact
that none of the lead entered the
body at vital spot.
