ONE OF THE REAL BIG EVENTS IN DE-
CORAH'S HISTORY. HUNDREDS OF
OLD RESIDENTS PLANNING ON
COMING HOME
Col. HanfOrd McNider, National Commander
of the American Legion, Has Written
He Will Be Here
Our Own Governor, N. E. Kendall, Gov. j. A. o
Pr us and Congressman Haugen are other
Zig National FigM Who will be Here

Preparations for Winneshiek coun-
tvs Homecoming is going along in
fine shape. The various committees,
such as the decorating, parade, exc
cutive and house have held regular
meetings, laid out plans of ways and
means, and it looks now as though
everything will be ready on schedule
time. At any rate it is one unanim-
Gus expression to make the Home
coming one grand success from
start to finish.
Col. Hanford McNider, of Mason
City, National Commander of the
American Legion wrote the $com-
mittee that he would be here for the
Homecoming. Col. McNider has
risen to be a prominent national
| figure and the committee feels sIated
t'o~er rne -favt rrfut iro haa--sianfiad has
intentions of being with us.
Congressman G. N. Haugen, who
has thousands of friends in this sec
tion, will also be here and make an
address.
Two of the country's most popular
governors, Hon. n. 4. Kendall, of
Iowa, and Hon. j. A. o. Preus, of
Minnesota, will be here, if nothing
prevents at that time. Gov. Kendall
is one of the country's finest ora
tors, and the same can be said of
Gov. Preus, who by the way is an
old Decorah boy, and one whom De-
corahians are always glad to well
come.
1t has been suggested that the men
who enlisted in a Winneshiek county
company, which at the time was or
ganized by John Cameron to join the
! Spanish-American war, send their
names to any of the Decorah news
papers or to Ben Bear.
1t would be nice for these men to
meet and take part in the Home
Coming Parade.

The Iowa Magazine

We received today an insert with
the Decorah Public Opinion. This
insert was the initial number Of the
Iowa Magazine, new publication
which many newspapers intend TO
send out as a supplement with their
regular edition of the home paper.
The Iowa Magazine is a bright
looking little journal, well printed,
and attractively set up, containing
among many good things a greet
ing to the people of Iowa from
President Harding; story by
Harold MacGrath; an original story
by Bernice Brown an Iowa girl; and
many good things by other Iowa
authors.
1t promises in a future issue ar
ticles by Iowans who have become
famous in the literary world, as for
instance Upton Sinclair, author of
Main Street. Ellis Parker Butler,
author of Pigs is Pigs, and many
other equally as famous as the fore
going.
The Iowa Magazine does not come
as we are so fond of saying filling
long felt want" it comes as a well
come messenger Of Iowa and all
things Iowan. Those who are re-
sponsible for its appearance are to
be congratulated upon the first at
tempt, and bright future is ahead
of this splendid publication, in our
humble opinion.
Our thanks are rendered friend
Green for his remembrance Of u.s.
Oelwein Iowan.

DEBORAH BOYS
\ ON GUARD DUTY
Big Railroad Strike Calls For Volun-
teer Officers, and DecOrah
Boys Respond.
EIGHT GO TO
- OELWEIN FOR DUTY
Boys Were Sworn in as Deputy
United States Marshals at
Sioux City Monday.

The great railroad strike which
threatens the whole country, which
started short time ago, has forced
the railroad officials to hire many
officers to guard their property.
A call was sent here for men and
eight responded, the boys going to
Oelwein last Saturday and Sunday
Sheriff Ellingson's two sons Orville
and Nathan and also the sheriff's
brother, Marvin Ellingson are among
those who responded. Others who
went also are Ed Lewis, Johnnie
Thompson, Bob Remington, Oscar
Peterson and Lloyd Iverson.
On Monday the boys all went tc
Sioux City and were sworn in a:
deputy United States marshals. They
will serve at Oelwein and Clarion il
the railroad shops and yards. They
will be paid SO day.
How long the strike will last i!
not known at this time. 1t may enC
suddenly and on the other hand b.
prolonged for some time. The joi
these boys have taken on Nigh
prove a little exciting for them be
fore they get through, as acting a
guards in strike times is no sof
snap, we imagine.

Occupying Their New Home

Mr.. and Mrs. A. Leytze moved in
to their fine new home last Friday
on West Water street. The property
they purchased recently, formerly the
Baptist church property has been
transformed into one Of the finest
appointed residences in the city, and
friends who have inspected it say
that it is all that one could wish
for in a home. The house has eight
rooms and all modern conYeniences,
is very tastily decorated and furn-
ished. In the basement a modern
automobile garage has been built.
The residence is in nice location
and will make a most delightful home
for Mr.. and Mrs. Leytze.

Fine Improvement at Bears

The Ben Bear Clio thing Co. store
has undergone some great improve
ments the past few weeks, which
gives this big clothing store one of
the finest homes in the state. The
big display windows have been en-
cased with a beautiful walnut back
ground, one of the finest we have
seen. A modern electric lighting
system has also been installed in the
windows, which gives them a beauti-
full appearance in the evenings. The
big store, which covers nearly
half a block has been painted in d
very artistic manner also. The
building is certainly a credit TO
the pioneer clothier and the city
of Decorah.

Dear John:-We went on board the
evening of June oath. The night
was intensely hot. We started at
four in the morning, and we were
two days in st. Lawrence. The
scenery on both sides is beautiful.
The third day we ran into a fog off
the Banks, and of necessity had to
run very slowly, because of the ice
bergs and the fishing boats. From
now on we had rough seas and cold
weather, until last evening we pass
ed Tory Island and warmer weather
followed. This is the forenoon of
the Sd and at three in the afternoon
we will land at Liverpool. We have
all kinds of people on board, mostly
Canadians. The Ocean Times is pub
lished daily and we get the princi-
pal items Of news. The board is
good and the hunks fairly good. Ex-
President Taft is returning on this
boat next Saturday. Not one OF
our party got seasick, so we enjoyed

ing our baggage for inspection, and
then after landing we will take a
train for Holly Head, Wales and
then boat for Dublin. When
get there | will write you again.
Hoping you and the good people OF
Decorah are well.

on his efforts.
A contract has been closed with
the company by the Hawkeye Con-
veyor Company, of Cedar Rapids, for
one Of their newest and most modern
coal handling systems.
Mr.. Ingvoldstad also placed a con-
tract with Dixon Bros, of Marion,
Iowa, for nine Christensen Reinforc-
ed Brick Coal Pockets, size 16x4O
feet each, to be equipped with gra-
vi.y floors and Sackett Rescreening
Chutes for loading.
This will give Decorah the most
modern coal handling plant in the

breakage unavoidable when the old
fashioned sbayeling is used. From

These nine brick silos for the coal
will be erected in a straight line on
the east side of the lumber yard, oc-
cupying a space of 167 feet. They
viii hold about 1400 tons. All OF
the wagons will be loaded by mach

Mr.. Ingvoldstad arrived home Mon
day from trip to Long Lake, H.,
and Chicago. He states that the
coal situation remains unsolved yet.
He was told that it would only be
short time before the railroads and
big manufacturing plants would be
in need of ocal.
Another big industry which Mr.
Ingvoldstad opened up a year age
is the big two story planning mill al
his yards, where a force of men are
kept busy making windows frames

vinneshek County Homecoming Festival and Fair

Howard county and H. +. Barthell,
of Winneshiek county.
This committee reported that all
counties of the judicial district were
represented by duly certified creden-
tials, and delegations from such
counties in attendance.
On motion of Atty. w. S. Hart, of
Waukon, the temporary organization
was made permanent.
The next order of business taken
up was the nominating of candidates
for Judge for the Thirteenth Judicial
district. f. A. Brigadier of Chick
asaw county, on behalf of the Chick
asaw county delegation presented the
following resolution, which, on mo-
ton offered by Mr.. Brigadier, was
passed unanimously.
"Chickasaw county wishes to
place in nomination, before this
18th District Judicial Convention
here assembled, for judges to
be voted on by this convention
as unit, Hon. W. ]. Springer,
of New Hampton and Hon. II.
+. Taylor, of Waukon, Iowa;
these two Judges to be consider
ed as the unanimous choice Of
this convention, and their
names shall appear on the Re-
publican ticket, and shall be
the Republican Judicial candi
dates of the 18th Judicial Dis
trict of Iowa, at the general
election in 1922"
Judges Springer and Taylor were
then in turn, called upon to address
she convention, and each, in his
usually happy manner, thanked the
delegations for the honors so
graciously bestowed upon them.
These two judges are men who have
proven their worth in the district
as able and conscientious judges, and
the voters of the district are prac-
IrfcsHy rnanfnoug M person That
they be returned to the bench, and
they will at the election in Novem-
Der.
Other men who addressed the con-
vention briefly were DR.. p. E. Gard
ner, of New Hampton, DR.. ]. M.
Smittle, of Eden, DR.. Darnell, the
chairman and Atty. w. S. Hart. At
torney H. P. Hancock, upon being
called to address the convention re-
marked: Gentlemen, am neither
a, delegate, a candidate, nor a doc
tor, therefore any remarks from me
would not be appropriate at this
time"
The convention proved one of the
best held in years, and the popular
I ity of the present judges, Springer
and Taylor was evident in the con-
ventiOn, and placing them in nomi-
nation was most agreeable to every
delegate in attendance. That they
will be returned to the bench at the
November election goes without say
! ing.
The Democrats held their Judicial
| convention Saturday also. They dis
cussed the situation and decided not
to place any candidates in the field.
A committee consisting of F. E,
Biermann, Atty. d. D. Murphy and
Atty. Goheen adopted a resolution
.hat they considered the office OF
judge non political office and made
no recommendation for nominations
The senatorial convention was held
after wards and EX-Supervisor j
P. Kuhn was placed in nomination
for state senator from the Winnie
STRAIGHTFORWARD district.
