DIR. KESSEL TO BUILD CLINIC
IN CRESCO
A Fifty Thousand Dollar Office
Building for Doctors To Be
Erected Soon.

After two years of negotiation, DR..
George Kessel has finally come into
possession of the lots on the corner
west of the telephone office, former
ly owned by Mrs. M. E. Buckman.
These lots have frontage of los
feet on End Ave. west by 80 feet on
West Second street.
On these lots DR.. kessel expects
to erect one of the finest buildings
in northern Iowa, if not the en-
tire state; in fact men of authority
say that there is nothing even in
Des Moines to equal it. 1t is to be
40 feet front on the south by 20 or
so feet deep and two full stories
above the high basement.
Plans and specifications, now jim
the hands of local contractors, were
drawn by Meyer ]. Strum, hospital
architect, Chicago, who makes a
speciality of making plans and de-
signs for hospitals, sanitariums and
doctors Offices.
The architectural design is beau
tiful and artistic and would be an
ornament to any city, and will GER
tainly be a credit to the little city
of Cresco and its worthy founder.
The front is to be of pressed brick,
terra Gotta, marble, granite, plate
and art glass and every thing of
proportionate quality and beauty
thruout the entire building.
With the doctors Offices, operating
room, rest room, reception room,
lobbies, bookkeeper's office, etc,
there will be total of about twen-
ty rooms on the two floors besides
those in the basement.
The specifications are quite vol
luminous, covering S5 pages, of type
written matter, going into every
minute detail of the entire struc-
ture.
The contract has not yet been let
and it is quite probable that the
building will not be commenced be-
fore next spring. 1t is estimated
that the cost will exceed $50,000.-

Home From Canadian Trip

Sheriff o. o. Ellingson arrived
home Thursday from trip to Win
nepeg, Brandon and Moorepark, Can
ada, where he looked over land be-
longing to a Winneshiek county
syndicate. He found things in good
shape in Canada, but very little
threshing had been done, owing to
too much rain. The past month had
been very wet. They don't stack
their grain in Canada, and the
shocks were scattered all over the
fields, holding for dryer weather

90 A fattering compliment is
today paid to a clothier whose first
name is Frank because he is the man
in Decorah who makes a nickle look
like dollar bill when you buy mems
clothing from him. He is the talk of
the town BECAUSE he sells the latest
patterns in fall and winter suits for
as low as $4,000. Everything in
his place is sold on the same scale.
With all of these things in his favor,
we say this is a "A Thing to Grow
Over" If you have never paid this
store visit, just take my word for
it-go and be convinced and you will
crow, too. Frank is among De-
corah's biggest-hearted fellows and
is deserving of your patronage. Mems
wear for all purposes and all purses
will be found in this up to date
store. Big folks and little folks can
find what they want here for dress
and everyday occasions. Now that
this one is easy, write the name of
the store and tell who is the proprie-
tor.

which goes to make you give this
place extra credit and you can't get
away from it. A fine new line of
suits and coats has just reached
them and will be offered at parti-
cularly attractive prices for the next
few days. The line consists of all
the fashionable materials Of the sea-
son in both plain and fancy pat
terms. Every woman who is figur-
ing on new suit this season should
investigate these values before it is
too late. In our judgment the man
ager here is rollicking, frolcking
whirlwind of good person. What
is the name of this store which dress
the ladies from head to foot? Who
is the manager?

URGES GROWERS ID
 BURN FAULTY FRUIT

An appeal to orange growers to work together toward entirely elinai- hating Hack rot from Salt River Valley orchards is contained in the following Illuminating article on the subject contributed by w. s. Childs:
 Black rot, caused by alternaria citri and reported in The Sundays Republican as damaging about 20 per cent of the crop of Washington Navel bad disease which requires the con- certed action of all owners of Wash
 ington Navel oranges to control.
 This disease has been in southern
 California for some time where it
 causes from to 5 per cent loss of
 the whole crop and was first de-
 scribed and it's cause given by Pierce
 in 1902. It is classed with the fungi imperfecti and is reproduced by spores.
 The spores enter the navel of the orange causing 1t to blacken. After the navel blackens it is surrounded by well defined brown ring, show ing that the disease is progressing colors as if ripe and falls to the ground. From the Drowned portion around .1e navel which soon becomes l darkened spores, conidiospores arc produced which in turn ,reproduces l the disease on other oranges ! In order to control the disease al diseased fruit should be collected and burned or buried deeply.

LITTLE PETE LEARNS ANOTHER

There are two kinds Of people in this world-the kind who do as they are told and ask no questions. and the kind v'hc always ask wt.:. Peer Rabbit belonged to the why kind. Yes, sir, Peter belonged to the why kind. He doesn't now. because he has livec long enough to know better. nut when trouble just becatee he wouldn't mind until Ae had found out or tried tc find out why he had been told to do or not to do a certain thing. And now Little Pete was just like him. He made Peter more trouble and worry than all three of the other to- gether. Little Jed, Fuzzy and Wuzzy would do as they were told and ask no questions, but Little Pete was very much inclined to ask questions first di.d mind when perhaps it was too late.
 Peter was very stern as he talked to Little Pete. He told him that some day something dreadful would surely happen to Little Pete if he persisted in being so headstrong and wilful. Little Pete hung his head and said he was sorry he had been bad and that the next time he would min6 just as soon as he was spoken to. And he Geally ment it. Yes. indeed. he really meant to show Tetcr that nt, one could mind better than he.
 But. alas and alack. ne was such a happy go-lucky little fellow that he found it much easier-oh, so much easier-to forget than to remember. It wasn't five minutes after he had made his promise than an old friend of Peters came buzzing into the Old Briar Patch. It was Rumble the Bee, hoping to find late sweer briar rose. Now, Rumble the Bee is a crusty old fellow, who believes that every one should attend strictly to his own af- fairs, and that if every one did this it would save. a lot of trouble in this world. He does 1t himself and never meddles with the business of other folks. But if others meddle with him Rumble will listen to no excuses. He acts promptly. for he believes that experience is the best teacher, and that those who have had experience with him once will not want 1t twice Now, Rumble and Peter are the best of friends and have been ever since Peter was a little fellow. He saw Rumble as soon as he came buzz ing into the Old Briar Patch. and he told his four little bunnies that thi: was an old friend. whom they mus never. never bother. because if they did they would surely be sorry. Now Little Pete was just as full of GU riosity as his father ever was, ana Rumble the Bee interested him SC

 azine. The author of "Snowblind," is also the author of ~The Branding Iron,'' which was shown in the Richards & Mace house the winter
 past. It is the story of a great brutal man, Hugh Garth. a fugitive from justice, who with his handsome younger brother, Pete, and his mis- tress. Bella, live in exile in the snow country far off Alaska. Garth is a powerful brute, who brooks no inter- ference from anyone where his per
 sonal desires are crossed. On the
 way to his cabin through the snow
 one day he stumbles on a half dying
 beautiful girl who is lost from her
 party and has been blinded by the
 glare of the snow. She awakens in
 this mans breast the first clean
 thoughts of love, and he carries her
 to his. home where he takes ad-
 vantage of her blindness to fill her
 mind with a picture of him as he
 shoould be. but is hot. Then comes
 the story of the return of sight to
 this woman, when she realizes what
 fate awaits he~ ir this man makes
 her his wife, as he has asked her to
 marry him. Realizing that should
