Quit Business or Give I'D Music

Waterloo, Iowa-Joseph D;efen-
bach, veteran musician and an anna
teur poultry raiser, will have to de-
eide whether to discontinue raising
poultry or give up playing his bass
viol at home. He has discovered that
two will not harmonic in the home.
HIS wife objected to his playing
the bass viol in the living room
owing to the constant vibration, and
he arranged a place in the basement
where he could practice. He also
had four settings of eggs, ffty-two
in all, about ready to hatch in the
basement.
Diefenbach became worried when
the eggs failed to hatch and investi-
cation disclosed a dead chick in each
egg. He was unable 70 determine
the cause and consulted an expert.
He was informed that the vibration
from the bass VOL playing had killed
the chicks.

Which Class Are You In

There are some people who 90
through life with a smoothly serenity
that is seldom ruffled says the Rolfe
Arrow. 1t is not ruffled because they
do not trouble to go deeply into
affairs and conitions around them.
They do no harm in the world, and
sometimes eXert themselve to tbs
extent of doing a little good. We
like them, but they command no great
amount of admiration. There is an
other class, and they are in the ma
jOrity, who are not averse to speak
ing their minds. Generally they are
fair students of men and conditions,
dig down after facts, make up their
minds after careful analysis, and
then stand by their convictions. They
give praise where it is due, but do not
hesitate to censure when it becomes
necessary. They are the construc. i've
citizens of the country. And then
there is still a third class. They are
the kickers-the chronic ones-and
their happiest moments are when
they are kicking about something, or
somebody, or both. They come into
the world kicking, go through life
with a kick, and kick like the devil
because they have to shuttle roff.
They are destructive to society, and
more destructive to themselves. And
the very peculiar phase of the mat
ter is that most of Us have the pri-
vilege of choosing the class to which
which we belong.

DEFEAT CRESCO
DEBORAH High School Wins Game
Friday by 10 to Score.

In last Fridays game the De-
corah High School base ball team
defeated the Cresco team by a score
of 10 to 6. The game was very much
in Decorah's favor all of the time.
Cresco making four of their runs at
at time when the pitcher was not at
his best. He walked three men and
then Cresco's star batter got up and
made two base hit. With that and
an over throw at home two more
men went in.
The batteries were Neshiem pitch
ing and Bauder catching. Neshiem
pitched mighty good game striking
out ten men while his catcher back
ed him up to perfection. Neshiem
also was helped out very well by
the other seven men, every one play
ing a good game.
Cresco probably lost the game be-
cause of not having a strong bat
terry. This part of their team was
very weak bu. otherwise they play
ed a good game of ball.

BIG DROP IN PAVING PRICES
Hancock County Awards Contract
For Hard Surfacing North
Iowa Pike at S2.1sR Per
Square Yard.

Garner, Iowa-Contract were let
at Hancock road between here and
Britt and also for the four miles
between Hutchins and Kossuth coun-
ty line. The contract was awarded
the Henkel Construction Company of
Mason City at $2.18R a square yard.
The Pickus Engineering and Con-
struction Company, of Sioux City,
came next in their bid of 1920.
From this price the eighteen bids
ranged up to $2.73. The S2.1S1a per
square yard makes an immense saw
ing over last years price, which was
$3.741a.
Work will start at once, and is to
be completed on or before Dec. l.,
1922, and will make a continuous
stretch of hard surfaced road on the
North Iowa Pike from Algona to
Charles City, as Wesley has taken
steps to have its main street paved,
and Kossuth county will build the
rest of the road to its east county
line.
The letting Of this contract for
paving has really a deep signifi-
canoe. 1t means that a new era has
dawned, and especially for the farmer
folk. The work done between here
and Clear Lake last year was some
what Of an experiment, but it has

GROSS FOR SENATOR

With two other candidates in the
field, Mr.. H. C. Gross is making an
active campaign for the nomination
for state senator in the Winneshiek-
Howard district and is making scores
of friends wherever he goes.
Mr.. Gross is one of the big, pro-
gressive farmers of DEBORAH township
and knows farm needs and condi-
tons to the core. His candidacy for
the senate-.he first time-is foster
ed by hundreds of voters of the dis
trict who want a business like adj
ADMINISTRATION for all, at this time
when the b,ggea. men and best tai
ent should be selected to fiji such
places.
Mr.. Gross has been a life long
''dirt farmer" and has always shown
a keen interest in the building up,
the advancement, progress, and pro-
lection of $1,000 farm folks of the
district and the 100000 farmers of
Iowa.
Mr.. Gross grew up from a PEN
niIeSs boy, and has made a record
that stands fawIess, absolutely I'M

REAL THRILLS IN QUEEN OF
SHEBA" CHARIOT RACES

The big surprise in "Queen of She
ba' coming to Lyric Theatre, is
the chariot race. 1t is so exciting that
hundreds of people have asked how
it was made. j. Gordon Edwards,
who directed the filming of the story
for William Fox, answers the ques-
ton as follows:
There is no secret about it. You
can't keep a motion picture set con-
tanning 5000 people and covering
100 acres a secret. We simply built
the arena, put on the races and pilot
ographed them from every angle we
could think of. Two of the chariots
overturned, giving Jim Murphy, a
driver, the narrowest escape of his
career. Tom Mix, the cowboy star,
did some thrilling riding for US by
way of what he called 'whooping it
up and Betty Blythe and Nell Craig,
driving chariot apiece, proved that
they were as skilled and as daring
horsewomen as ever I'd seen in my
life. That's about all can say"
1t might be added that it took weeks
of work to arrange for the race and
that thousands of dollars were ex-
pended on it.

proved so very satisfactory that the
future demands these splendid roads.
The question was answered to
every one using the road, when they
saw it like a broad white ribbon
winding on and on, and as a contrast
noticed the approaching side roads,
either muddy or rough or rutty, and
az times impossible. The greatly
lowered cost of construction has re-
moved the only objection ever made
to this good work.
The board of supervisors is graft
fed over the results of the letting.
