Snow Storm in Washington

Washington, d. C. experienced the
biggest snow storm in more than
twenty years last week end. More
than three feet of snow fell, be-
ing drifted by a sixty mile an hour
gale. All business in the capital was
practically suspended as most traf-
fic was stopped. The congressman
and hundreds of the employees at
the capital were unable to reach the
building so government affairs were
at a standstill.
People driving automobiles were
compelled to leave their cars and
walk or take the trolly home. All
trains were way laid and some were
expected to be snow bound in the
mountains in Virginia.
The worst tragedy of the storm
was undoubtedly when the snow
laden roof of the Knickerbocker mo-
ton picture theater collapsed trap
ping and injuring or killing many of
the people on the inside. 10S persons
are known to have been killed and
many others injured.

ID. III. S. Defeated by CrescO

For the second time this year the
old rivals from Cresco defeated the
DEBORAH high school in basket ball.
The local boys lost the game at
Cresco last Friday by a score of %
to 10. Altho the game was very
evenly played with excellent basket
ball skill on both sides the Cresco
players made the desired number of
points to defeat the local team.
Cresco made a field goal in the last
ten seconds of play making the score
two points more for the winning
side. In this game the honors fol
basket ball was decided between the
two schools and Cresco feels partly
repaid for the heavy defeat of the
football game.

They Heard the Siren

Oakland, Iowa.--Some of the resi-
dents declared that the new fire siren
could not be heard when their doors
were shut, and Mayor Charles Hough
decided to find out. At 10 o'clock
last night, after letting the driver of
the fire truck into the secret, the
mayor himself turned on the siren,
and nearly the whole town came
flocking to the business district
some even coming from warm beds
in the expectation of seeing a blaze
False alarm" shouted the mayor
to the crowd. 81 told you it could be
heard"

ing Record in California and
Texas.

1t is a well known fact that De-
corah has a number of crack horse
shoe pitchers. About the first OF
the year the club lost two of their
crack players, Messrs. A. E. Kenyon
and E. X. Hovden. The former went
to Los Angeles, California and the
latter to San Antonio, Texas.
On Monday "Uncle Ed" Youmans
and Frank Headington received let
tiers from the gentlemen. Mr.. Ken
yon in writing Mr.. Youman's reports
that he has been in some hot pitch
ing contests since landing in Cali
fornia, and that he has had the
satisfaction of cleaning up the best
on the Pacific coast. And no one
here doubts his word, as Gene al
ways led the pitchers here. He
reports good heavy frost there also,
which might have helped him in
going to keep from freezing up,
WHICH IIlSg 10 III SdlllOGlld, OCcu-
slonally. He scored 81 to 26 ringers
in every game. When Gene isn't
pitching horseshoes he is looking af-
ter his oil wells, and he reports
them coming along fine, producing in
great shape.
Mr.. Headington received a letter
from Ed Hovden the same day, which
conveyed practically the same news
regarding horseshoe pitching. Ed
has cleaned up everything in Texas,
and it looks now like he will have
to tackle the long horn steers. He
has pitched great many games with
the crack pitchers of the Lone Star
state and as usual upheld Iowa and
good old Decorah's reputation.
In his letter to Mr.. Headington
he also stated that Mrs. Hovden was
getting along fine and enjoying good
health, which will be good news to
her many friends here.

All Year Gasoline.

"All-Year" gasoline. That's the
new trade mark, registered in the
U. S. patent office, which The Hawk
eye Oil Company has adopted as the
trade name for their Crescent quality
gas. The name is significant of the
quality and will be displayed by all
their own stations as we'll as by
dealers handling their product, as a
guarantee to users that they are
getting the real stuff. The Hawkeye
Oil Company has been a very con-
sistent advertiser in the columns of
the Public Opinion, believing strong
ly in the power of publicity as a
means of marketing their product
and recognizing the value and influ-
ence of newspapers in such a cam
paign. The registering of this name
"All-Year" is for the protection of
their hundreds of customers in this
vicinity and as an emblem or mark
of quality. SO when you ask for the
best and it is a source of satisfaction
to know that your interests are pro-
tected by an Iowa Company and a
registered trade name.

For the past number Of years the
Standard Oil company has served this
section from its storage plant located
at Carson but has found many dis
advantages through this arrangement,
especially from the fact that . COM
petitor is covering the local fieid from
a modern plant established at Minden.
Since tractors are operated on near
iy every ranch in Carson Valley and
the continued increase of business In
the southern territory. the consump-
tion of gasoline and oils In this dis
trict has reached large scale and TO
care for this business the Standard
Oil company has found It necessary to
establish a supply and storage plant
at Minden.

new LAW FOR
REGISTRATION

In order to correct the practice of
preceding years that has prevailed in
many communities Of the state by
which Republicans have registered as
Democrats and Democrats as Repub-
leans and Socialists. in order to help
some candidate in the primaries. the
registration law was amended. 1t has
been changed in many instances that
voters registered In parties to which
they were opposed In order to nomin-
ate weak candidates who could easily
be beaten. These have been the weak
est points in the primary laws of many
states.
The new Nevada law has changed
the form Of oath taken by the voter
In registering and has also provided
penalties that will, 1t is believed, cor
rect these abuses. Section 8 of the
registration law as revised contains
the form OF oath.
