"ALL ABOARD
SCORES BIG
Best Home Talent Play Staged Here
in Years at Grand Opera
House Monday Night.
DECORAH'S TALENT
PROVED GREAT ARTISTS
Crowded House Greeted the Cast
And Everybody Was
Delighted.

GAN Aboard, the home talent play
staged under the auspices Of Anton
Bernatz Post, American Legion, at
the Grand Monday in matinee and
evening performance drew out a
capacity crowd.
The evening audience packed the
Grand and a good size audience en-
loved the matinee. In fact the larg-
est number who has seen a show here
this year were out.
"All Aboard" had everything on
that goes to make up a good show,
the talent, lots of comedy and good
voices. The choruses were all very
clever and we'll arranged, while the
leading characters spoke for them
selves. They carried their parts
throughout without a mistake and
showed the work of experienced ac-
tors.
H. Torgrimson, a freshman at Lu-
Their College, who took the part Of
Billy, was exceedingly good. He
acted his part as a young college
student who was taking a trip to
avoid embarrassment, while he was
getting used to a new pair Of false
teeth.
Miss Catheryn Dalvey, who took
the part of his sister, was an i'm
provement on him, so the two made
an excellent pair.
DR.. F. w. Davis, as Captain OF
the ship, Mrs. Davis as mother OF
"Billy's" sweetheart, acted by Miss
Bernadine Shea, were all very good
and deserved a great deal OF credit
for their work in making the play
a success.
Also the four comedians, AleXan-
der, the porter, acted by Hartwig
! Renaas, Mrs. B. NJ. Graham, the
stewardess and the two shipmates
Messrs Norman Lee and Harold
Thompson were everything tha'
comedians should be. They carried
their comedy out to perfection anC
made a great hit with the large
audience.
Mr.. John 7. Hall, director from
the John B. Rogers Co. certainly
deserves credi,able mention for max,
ing such a noteworthy success OF
the play in the short time he had
to produce it.
The orchestra, also came in fol
high praise. 1t was composed of Ed
Tollefsrud, Russell Anderson, Lee
Abbey, Mrs. Ruth Downie and Mrs
Clara Bridel.
Taken all in all it was a great
play, admirably acted and pleased
everybody and the Legion is TO be
congratulated on their efforts in Civ,
ing our people this excellent enter,
tainment.

SMASHED ALL RECORDS
DEBORAH Furniture Co.'S Opening Day
of Big Sale Saturday Drew
Record Crowd.

There have been bargain sales in
DEBORAH many times but the big furm-
ture sale at the Decorah Furniture
Co.'S store in this city easily smash
ed all previous records here if not
in northern Iowa. The doors pened
at nine o'clock and in just two
minutes there was 200 thronging the
aisles and making their purchases.
Long before the doors opened the
sidewalk in front of the store and
for quite o distance each way was
q seething, pushing mass Of humans
ity. So eager were the people to
get inside the store that 1t was
necessary during the first rush for
those inside to take hold Of those
who had become wedged in the door
to break the jam. We can truthfully
say that never in our life did We
see such a jam at a sale before. The
large number of the sales force was
nowhere sufficient 10 take care OF
the crowd.
We are told that the receipts of
the day were about S50O0.0O. This
is a wonderful amount of goods to
be sold in a single day and it proves
that straight and legitimate adver-
Using done in the proper way will
produce results.
While Saturday and this week have
made great inroads in the stock
here is still an immense stock and
he selections are almost as good as
,ver. The sale closes Saturday and
70 doub: people will avail themselves
# this opportunity to purchase their
pring needs at greatly reduced
prices. We predict that Saturday
will see another big crowd at the
ale.

Along with this question there was
some discussion as to the advlsablllty
of allowing women to join the club
and to pay nominal membership
fee. This was recommended to the
directors and it is thought that in the
near future women will be granted
membership in the club.
After all old and new business had
been finished the meeting adjourned
from the court house, but long after
the meeting members could be seen
on the corners discussing the country
club, which is about to become a re-
ality instead of the dream which it
was for so long. Now the members
look on the splendid foundation of
the club house and see the roof al
most completed and they know that

MEMORIAL
Of Mrs. Bessie Epps Hinnant

The youngest child Of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. K. Epps who was born and
reared in this county, and moved to
Columbia with her mother in 1911,
and in 1915. became the the wife of
Mr.. A. B. Hinnant, died at her home
in Columbia on September Is, 1921.
She died at the tender age of %, and
her body lies in Blrrwood cemetery,
9l2yswhen the body and soul shall live
Columbia, S. c., to await that great
together forever.
She was member of Bachman
Chapel Lutheran church since the
age Of u, and had never been trans
ferred from the church she loved
where the bodies of her dear father
and brother lie.
Bessie is gone from US; her sweet
smiling face, her gentle, kind voice,
and her tender, loving disposition
can no longer be seen and heard. All
these eweet memories she has left
behind, her friendship, her love, cir
'cumstances can not estrange, dis
tances~ can not effect, and death can
not destroy.
It takes just such trials to unfold
and develop Gods infinite worth and
preciousnese to us. When the love
of earthly friends is buried in the
grave, the love of the Heavenly
Friend shines forth more tenderly
than ever.
A precious one from US has gone,
A voice we loved is stiFed,
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filed.
God in His wisdom hath recalled
The one His love had given,
And though the cody mouldens here.
The soul is safe in heaven.
Jesus, while our hearts are bleeding
O'er the spoils that death has won,
We would at this solemn meeting
Calmly say, "Thy will be DONE"
Lord, though thou bend our spirit
low,
Love only will I see,
The very hand that strikes. the blow
Was wounded once for me.
Written by one who loved her.
