Armistiee Day In Rock Hill.
Armistice Day was tittingly cele-
brated in Rock Hill Friday afternoon,
when a beautiful monument erected to
the memory of Frank Roach, Rock
Hill soldier who lost his life in the
World War was unveiled and an ad-
dress was heard from Hon. M. L.
Smith of Camden. The exercises OF
the afternoon were held under the
auspices, of Frank Roach Post of the
American Legion, Thos. w. Huey'
post commander. Business houses OF
the city were closed for the afternoon
and hundreds of people attended the
exercises. Military and civil organi-
cations composed a long line assemb-
led in front of the First Baptist
church from which place they marched
to Laurelwood cemetery. Arriving at
the cemetery the audience stood with
uncovered heads in q minute of silent
PRAYER after which Rev. w. r. Arm
strong led in prayer All heads were
barred again while William and Lola
Poulk, nephews of Frank Roach pull
ed the strings unveiling the beautiful
monument. Post Commander Huey
presented Mayor ]. B. Johnson who
presented Judge Mendel l.. Smith, the
orator of the day. Music for the oc-
casion was rendered by brass band.
I'VE observe today most reckless
regard for life and it behooves us to
think seriously of this matter" said
Judge Smith in his address. You
members of the American Legion
stand today facing the forces Of evil.
All that is good in the past 1000 years
calls on you to raise a star Of hope
over the benighted world. We must
raise men to public office who are
above greed and selfishness and who
will work for the uplift of mankind.
If you men of today will do this then
this fine monument you have erected
to Frank Roach will stand as a monu-
ment for peace and justice and for
liberty that will command the greatest
admiration of all the people"

factory flights was unfortunate this
year in losing his balloon in a
flight at Bloomfield Ind, just before
coming to the Winneshiek fair. He
made night flight at 11:30 and
was unable to recover his balloon
the next day, in time to get to De-
corah. He purchased a new one, and
got to DEBORAH Thursday making an
ascension about 1880. The ascension
was made by lady areonant, who
accompanies Mr.. Raub. The balloon
fell on the former Mike Griebel farm
and the lady dropped short dis
lance away. 1t was an excellent
ascension, and much enjoyed by those
who saw it.

Ben Bear, Decorah's we'll known
pioneer clothier, has been put back
into the harness again and will now
act as fuel administrator for this
city, having been appointed
by Chas. Webster, state fuel adj
ministrator. Mr.. Bear worked like a
beaver all through the world war
in the Red Cross work and various
other activities, and a harder and
more efficient worker we never had.
Now he has consented to devote a
portion of his valuable time as fuel
administrator. The coal situation is
very serious just now, and there is
big question whether or not we
will get enough coal to supply the
demand here. 1t looks like the price
of coal will be high. We understand
that down in Cedar Rapids hard coal
has been selling at $3.50. This
is an outrageous price and should
not be permitted. But in an emer-
gency, we presume people will have
to pay it, or go without. Mr.. Web

Homecoming Choir Sang

Last Sunday morning at st. Bene-
diets Catholic church in this city,
a feature of the services which was
very pleasing to the congregation was
the singing by the old choir which
used to be together here in 1892
thirty years ago. The choir members
who sang Sunday were Mrs. Maine
Jennisch Hutchinson, soprano, OF
Cedar Rapids, Mrs. Ann Finn Will
kins, organist, of New Hampton
Mrs. Margaret Grinnsel Conklin
soprano, of Madison, Wis.,, Mrs. Grace
Jennisch Mckay, alto, DEBORAH, DR.
I. C. Hutchinson, tenor and NJ. j
Soukup, bass, DEBORAH. These old
members were, assisted by Lester Nc
Cauley, tenor, of this city. Mr.
Soukup is the only one of the origi-
nal choir who still remains member
of the church choir here. He started
singing here about 35 years ago. The
occasion proved most enjoyable one
not only for the congregation, but
the choir members themselves, and
it will help them to keep warm
spot in their hearts for Winneshiek's
greatest Homecoming for years to
come.

August 10, 1922
Mr.. Ben Bear,
DEBORAH, Iowa.
Dear Sir:
As you know another deplorable
condition confronts us. We are min
ing but a negligible quantity of coal
and the means of transportation of
same by reason of the railroad strike
is limited. The Federal Government,
through Secretary Hoover, Chairman,
Of the Coal Commission recently
created by the President, has asked
Governor Kendall to create a state
organization for the purpose of CO.
operating in the distribution and
transportation of coal. The Governor
has appointed me State Fuel Adj
ministrator with the power to take
necessary action. The only means |
have is to call back the citizens who
so periodically supported me during
the war and ask for their advice
and assistance. 1t will be our duty
to secure Iowa's just proportion of
the coal now being mined and,
through you, fair distribution with
in the state.
| desire to appoint you a member
of the Fuel Distribution Committee
for your city and will appreciate
your acceptance. Information will
follow.
Yours truly,
CHAS. WEBSTER,
