A Hard Luck Hunter

Last week one of Decorah's young
hunters was given a tip off that sew
eral wild ducks were on the rlver
inst above the Luther college. With
this good information the young
man got his repeating shot gun,
Cranked up "Tilie" and went out to
the place designated.
When he got up the river to where
no could see the ducks there seemed
70 him that there were three wild
ducks that were very near. How
ever. up the river about three rods a
flock of tame ducks were swimming
and our young hunters vision OF
what he thought to be the wild ducks
WIS not clear enough to tell whether
they were wild or tame.
He raised up thinking if they were
wild they would fly, snd sure enough
they did fly. A gotc, shot brought
one down and had the gun acted al
per usual he could have gotten the
others, but no, Ile eNpio''"
stuck in the gun. In the mean tlm'
the two other ducks flew up tn
river and then turned around ant
came back.
Our hunter was ready TO
them but his first bird had agai
raised up and another shot was re
mired to bring him down. Agai
his gun stuck and by the time h
had the gun fixed the ducks ha
flown to far away for shot.
Turning around to get his duck h
had shot twice, he found it gone. b
this time he was through with due
hunting for one day.

THAT ESCAPED PRISONER
Dope Fiend Makes His Escape When
Given Opportunity to Appease
His Craving for Dope.

Last summer a young fellow by
the name of Clyde Brown, dope
fend, was picked up at Calmar, and
brought to DEBORAH and placed in
Jail, he having broken INFO dental
office and got away with some sill
verware.
Brown was ordered taken to the
independence hospital for treatment.
Another young fellow by the name
of Pelton was sentenced to he re-
form school at Eldora, and Sheriff
Ellingson took both Of the young
men with him in an automob lie. The
sheriff was accompanied by Peltons
father and Harold Mckinney. They
delivered Pelton at the reform school
at Eljora and then started from
Eldora for independence with Brown.
On the way from Eldora they stop
ped in Waterloo, stopping at the
Cadillac garage, where Ehe sheriff
| looked after his ca. While the
sheriff was looking after his car
Bow cr.ve1 for acrae dope, which
the sheriff had along, given by the
doctors before leaving DEBORAH.
Brown asked for some of it, saying
/ he was feeling bad. The sheriff in
formed him he had zone shot left
for him, and thought he had better
give it to him. As they. were about
| ready 20 start on he p nile trip
to independence the young fellow re-
marked that perhaps he could get
some water out in the country and
take it, and the sheriff told him he
had better get little water in the
garage and take it there. Brown got
out of the auto and went into the
garage, asked for the washroom, and
after. being directed there he dis
| appeared
Brown, as we understand it, had
volunteered to go to Independence
to the cure. He is not resident of
Winneshiek county, and insisted to
the insane commissioners that he be
sent to independence. Sheriff Filing
son reported the escape of the fell
low to the clerk of courts and the
county attorney.
Last weeks Ossian Bee contained
an article on the escape of Brown
and stated they were waiting for an
explanation on the matter from the
sheriff, and we believe the foregoing
ought to be pretty fairly satisfactory
explanation. The Bees article would
infer that the sheriff had never made
report of the affair on his arrival
home, which naturally would place a
understanding on the matter.

RETAIL PROFITS
False Idea About Retail Business
Exists in Minds of Many
Persons.

Some people believe that retail
store business is a very profitable
operation, and that the public is
heavily taxed for the gains of that
business. Such folks should not the
statement made by the secretary OF
the New England Clothiers Associa-
ton. to the effect that the net
profit in the clothing line rarely eX-
ceeds one and three tenths cents on
a dollar.
There may be lines to trade on
which the average retail profit eX-
ceeds that figure, but it is never a
very large percentage on sales. A
false idea about retail business eX-
lists in the minds Of many persons,
and constantly people are setting up
new stores, hoping to draw share
of what they believe are liberal
gains. But the great number OF
concerns that get out of business
after experimenting with t a few
wears. indicates that the popular
idea of these rewards is largely IL

The retail clothing business is
specially efficient one, as it Is
line that is usually pretty well ad

business keep Their stores we'll be

result gain a large volume o
trade. BY doing business on an eX
tensive scale, they are able TO Gu
out the margin of profit on eacI
sale down to a trifling percentage.
There are some iiaeS of business
which do not advertise freely, Il
which the margin between tn
wholesale and retail price IS large
In this case the merchant may nc

At is THE DEED

More than twenty years have elapsed
since the famous message to Garcia was
carried by Col. A. S. Rowan, but the
bearer of it has just been rewarded.
On being presented with the Distin-
guishcd Service Cross a few days ago.
Colonel Rowan said that in the days Of
the Garcia message, persons did their
duty without hope or reward. Medals and
stars and crosses are outgrowths Of the
World War, he intimated.
How many messages would be carried
to other Carcias if the hope Of reward
was the only inspiration and medal the
only reason for doing thing? The great
est deeds in the worlds history have been
accomplished from motives Otherwise
than from hope Of gain. No doubt Col
onel Rowan has received his reward ten
times over since his famous journey.
Whenever he has heard the thrilling
words Of Elbeu Hubbard he has been
struck with the realization that his deed
faihered the thought back Of the essay.
He must know that his example has been
held up before the youth Of the coun-

CENsORING THE MOVIES

A nationwide or a statewide censorship
Of the movies is held impossible by Will
H. Hays the new chairman Of the Nation.
al Film Producers Distributors Associ-
aied. Instead, he expects to adopt plan
Of higher moral pictures for all pro-
ducing companies and a Strengthening
Of the morale of the actors and actresses.
As is the case with all new industries
the moving picture industry has gone
through a state Of trials and tribulations
where it was subjected to public criti.
cism and abuse, preparatory to taking its
place as business Of repuie. Railroads
and other public utilities went through
the same channel. II is said that COM
nerce on the high seas was born from
piracy. Practically all industries have
gone through a state Of corruptncss in
their infancy.
If the movies of today are not just as
some would have them it should be re-
membered that they are still in their in
fancy and that there is a constant effort on
the part Of producers 10 improve their
quality. In order to have success in any
business that is sold to the public, the
wants Of the public must first be consid-
cred No ono can dispute the fact that
producers Of screen pictures are satisfy
ing the demand of the public. The enor.
Dous annual income from moving pic
lures, probably the greatest { any in
dusty in the United States, speaks for
their success financially. As a young in
dustry il was easy to create desire for
them, but now that the industry has be-
come more firmly established, it will be
case Of educating the public to the change
before any radical change can be made.
This is being done all along without the
Use OF state or national censor boards.

The Peace Power Plant.

From the New York Globe.
mo more war"-the slogan Of to-mor-
rows peace parade-is formula which
every one accepts in advance Of hostili-
ties, but it is only formula. As yet
non-resistance never has shut off hostili-
lies, and probably il never will.
Peace is no mere negative condition
into which men and nations fall auto
Inatically when war ceases. War is or
ganizcd strife, asd strife is always with
us and always in process of organization.
Peace. therefore, is something that must
be striven for. In a world Of many CON-
plications the maintenance of peace de-
pends more upon clear thinking than
upon emotionalism, more upon compro-
mise than upon fanaticism. Swearing
off on war can never bring peace, un-
less the growing pacific spirit at the
same time becomes translated into in
stituiions through which the differences
Of states and peoples may be adjusted
amicably,
Consequently, in a country which
seems to have forgotten the existence Of
