BIG ROAD GANG HERE
Large Number Men and 40 Horses
Arrived in DecOrah Yesterday.

Contractor j. c. Parquette, of Des
Moines, who has the contract for
grading the Locust road sent a big
gang of men and 40 horses to De-
corah yesterday to get ready for the
work, which will take all summer.
They will put about 31a miles to
grade starting at the j. j. Rosa
farm.
A car load of dump wagons, steam
shovels, etc. also arrived. When
they get going there will be over
100 men on the job. They will camp
out and at present are occupying the
John Matter dance hall.
This contract will naturally bring
lot of business to Decorah, with
so many men on the job, and natur-
ally they will purchase considerable
goods from the stores here during
the summer. With the oil drilling
going on and so much road work
it bids fair to be a real busy year
here.

Bake No. Lease Mecca of Humid
reds of Visitors Since Thursday
When the Oil Derrick
Started Pounding
TOOL DRESSER IN
PERILIOUS UNDERTAKING
Went Down the Hole 81 Feet to
Make a Connection on
The Cable.

The drilling for oil by the Decorah
Oil & Gas Co. started off in an
suspicious manner last Thursday at
Bakke No. l lease three miles south
east of Decorah, and a big crowd
of spectators were present to see
the drills start on their mission of
what might mean fortunes for many,
which the discovery and development
of oil fields mean.
The drillers are now down about
one hundred feet and the big well
is progressing fine.
Hank Witt, the company's tool
dresser, undertook very hazadrous
undertaking Monday when he was
let down in the hole 81 feet to make
a connection on the cable to tie a
stem on, which had slipped. The
hole is about Is inches in circm-
frence.
Numerous spectators appear on the
lease daily, considering the bad
roads. AS the weather improves the
crowd will increase
Reports from Mr.. Fagg, the con-
tractor, says everything is progress
ing satisfactorily. Quite a number
of people are awakening to this
stupendous undertaking, and what it
may mean to Winneshiek county.
Also the sales department announces
that. it is receiving inquiries and
making sales of stock from the Paci-
fic Coast as far east as Indiana and
north to British Columbia.

TOM CARNALL WANTS $4,000
DAMAGES.
The Fayette County Union and ArgO-
Gazette Sued For $4,000 Each.

In the Superior court at Olwein on
Tuesday of this week, 7. N. Carnall
owner of the large new garage at
Oelwein, filed damage SUITS against
the two West Union papers for
$4,000 each, and cites as cause ar
ticles printed in these papers on the
Sth and 9th of March, 1922.
The articles had to do with matters
of county record in regard to taxes
paid by Mr.. Carnall. The figures
used by the Union were true and
correct to the best of our knowledge
and belief. If Mr.. Carnall can show
us any false statements that have
we have made it will be pleasure
to correct them.
This paper aims to be fair and
honest in the county seat fight, and
we are going to give our readers the
facts. Taxation is a tender subject
with some people, but the people
have a right to know just what is
doing in such matters in their coun-
ty.
Tom is paying just tax on his
garage and house, our article of
March 9th should not disturb him

MRS. MARY A. VAN yLIET DEAD
Well Known Former Resident of
Winneshiek Passed Away at
Stevensville, Montana.

The many old Winneshiek. county
friends of Mrs. Mary A. Van Vliet
will be grieved to hear of her death,
which occurred at StevensviHe, Mont.
The following obituary is taken from
the Northwest Tribune of Stevens
vile:
Mary A. Scriber Van Vliet was
born in Odelltown, Province of Que
bee, Canada, October 20, 1889. In
the year 1859 in the town of her
birth she was married to William r.
Van Vliet. Odelltown was their
home until the year 1876 when they
moved 20 northeast. Iowa. This was
their home until 1902. In the year
1902 they moved to the Bitter Root
Valley in Montana, locating in the
city of Stevensville. In June 1911
her husband preceded her to the
life beyond. All her children are
living. They are: Edward H., Ida,
Alexander, William Albert and Fred
lTck. Edward H. and Alexander
have homes adjacent TO Stevensville.
Miss Ida's home has always been
with the mother. William Albert re-
sides near Burr Oak, Iowa, and the
home of Fredrick is at Long Beach,
California. William Albert and Fred
rick could not be with the mother
in her last illness.
The name Mary A. Van Vliet was
not a familiar name. 1t was used
only on her correspondence and in
business affairs. She was known by
old and young as Grandma" Van
Vliet. She was not a familiar fig
ure on the city's streets. When we
thought of her we thought of home
and fireside, God and Heaven. Her
home was a haven where the tired
and weary found rest; where the dis
couraged received fresh vision;
where the joyous ones shared their
happiness; where the door was open
to the high and low, the rich and
poor, old and young alike. 1t was a
home where everyone brought their
joys and sorrows, their sunshine and
their defeats and victories, their
flowers of faith and fragment of
blasted hopes, and laid them at this
disciples altar where distribution
was made unto each according as
any one had a need. In her home,
minds and hearts were busted, souls
beSpattered with the .sordid mud of
life were washed, and cares left be-
hind. Hers was a home with "a
heap olivin in it." 1t was a home
with an ivory door and golden por-
tai where angels went in and out to
minister, to suocor and to save.
Once YOU had found this home you
retraced your path to bring your
brother or sister in. She will be
eternally happy bearing with JOY her
eternal weight of glory as her Lord
and Savior will have a place pre-
pared for her where she can still
minister in her home over there be-
side the street of life.
She remembered her Creator IN

LASS OF LIMERICK TOWN
Enjoyable Play Presented by High
School Talent Last Night

The class of Limerick Town,
staged last night at the Grand was
as may be expected a great success
and received the compliments of ev-
cry one who went to make up the
full house. This play goes to show
that the high school has the talent
and is capable of presenting an en-
tertainment equal to that of any
company that has been here for some
time. A great deal of credit is due
Mrs. Altfillisch, Miss Flora Bergeson
and Miss M. Thompson who made up
the coaching staff that turned out
such a successful play.
Misses Bertha Mae Tracy and
Ruth Amundsen as Betty and Rose
Mccoy the leading ladies were ex-
ceptionally clever and good actresses.
Their voices altho weak were clear
and could be easily heard.
Lester McCauley ac Captain Po-
mercy Worthington, the leading man
was another good selection for he
deserves the best of compliments on
his easy delivery at all times. He
carried his part to perfection and
certainly showed good talent in the
presental of his part.
The play opened in a small Irish
village with a chorus of young peo-
pie before an inn. After a few songs
they left to allow the leading char
acters to come on and bring the plot
with them. The plot was surround
ing young maiden who was sup
posed to marry a certain young man
according to an agreement of the
fathers. Captain Pomeroy Worthing-
ton was to arrive soon and Rose was
exasperated at the idea of marrying
him for she knew that he was just
after her money that had been left
her by a rich uncle. Betty her
cousin comes to her rescue and sug-
gests that they change names which
was carried out. The young man
arrives and falls in love with the
real Betty and also knowing that she
is not the real Rose. She promises
to marry him. Also there was
mistake in the money which went
to Betty instead, so all ended well.
The following is the cast of
characters.

nAYM'D ROBBINS
APRIL 6
Well kno Lecturer Will Give an
Address Grand Opera House
Under Auspices Amuse-
ment Committee
Commercial
Club.
TALK ON VITAL
PROBLEMS OF HOUR
His Subject Will be "Civic Corrup-
tion And The Way Out" Don't
Fail to Hear Him.

There are few public speakers
whose lives have been so filled with
adventure as has that of Raymond
here under the immediate direction
|of James B. Pond next week Thurs
day, April 6, and there are still fewer
whose general qualifications to tell
from the lecture platform in lay
sermon the story of universal con-
ditions, and offer remedy for the
evils in such fascinating language
and with such final spiritual effect.
Therein lies his tremendous success
as a lecturer Of skill and infinite
variety.
The career of Mr.. Robins has been
almost unmatched from the point
of diversified experience. Born in
comparative poverty in the south, he
left home after working in the coal
mines of Virginia. He became a
leader in the mining region, later
riding on brake beams to Colorado
where he worked in the silver mines.
Meanwhile he was studying law at
night, latter becoming practitioner
in San Francisco with much success.
Then came the gold rush in the
Klondike, and Mr.. Robins joined the
myriads hurrying there, making a
good strike, and passing through the
penils of being lost in the Yukon.
He later became interested in religi-
Gus work, and established church
in the mining camp. Returning from
Alaska, he settled in Chicago, where
for sixteen years he was conspicuous
as an orator, social worker, strike
arbitrator, and politician. Slice then
Sfrr- has aidressed STUDENTS or many
universities and colleges, been called
into conference by government bur-
eaus, and has become famous as a
lecturer.
Mr.. Robins talks upon all the vital
problems of the hour and his words
are strongly tinctured with emotional
fervor. There is a singular charm
about style of delivery and his argu-
ments are invariably convincing. Mr..
Robins is in evry way speaker of
sincere convictions, and his wide
experiences and broad sympathy for
human frailities make his talks con-
vincing and appealing at the saSe
time.
The subject upon which he will
speak in Decorah is "Civic Corrup-
tion and the way out" a theme wor-
thy of the most serious consideration
throughout the country.
Theodore Roosevelt:
| 81 know him intimately. | can
vouch for his integrity, and his
disinterestedness, his courage and
his common sense. | unreservedly
ask that any man who knows me
and who values my opinion, will give
the fullest confidence to Mr.. Robins
and will aid him in any way in the
great work he is trying to do"

the days of her youth. She never
forgot him thru all her sojoum here.
Reared in a Wesley-Methodist home
and church, she held the faith of the
fathers unto the end. The Heaven
ly Father, who to his pledged word
is true, gave her twelve extra years
of useful life. Her Lord called Tor
her last Saturday morning, Febru-
ary "a, 1922, at the age of so years,
5 months and days.
Her funeral was held in the Meth
doist-Episcopal church, February 27,
1922, at Stevensville, Montana of
which church she was a member.
The services were conducted by her
pastor, Rev. Geo. Reid, after which
her body was laid to rest beside that
of her husband in the city of the
dead at Stevensville, Montana.

"But why in blazes can't we have
some corn bread" demands the Oel-

urdays. That custom got lost in the
shuttle Of 1919. Let's have the
custom revived. And say, if any
family is too esthetic to place yellow
corn bread on the table it may be
made from white corn"
