PROF. C. H. Valdez DEAD
Well Known School Man Passed
Away at Colonial Hospital,
Rochester, Last Saturday.
Death Caused by Cancer. Had Been
in Failing Health Since
Last January.

Prof. Charles H. Valdez, one of
Decorah's pioneer school men, passed
away last Saturday night at the
Colonial Hospital in Rochester, where
he had been under treatment for the
past SIX weeks. His death was
caused by cancer, having been in
failing health since last January.
The deceased was one of Iowa's
widely known and prominent school
men. He was born in Leland, Ill
inois, on April 3, 1868, a son of
Hans and Betsy (Aga) Valdez, both
of whom were natives of Norway.
His father was said to be first Bap-
fist Norwegian preacher in this
country. In 1853 the family re-
moved to Fillmore county, Mime
sofa, where they took up farming
prompting tract of land an
bending his energies toward clear
ing and improving the property.
Charles H. Valdez obtained his
early education at Newberg, MIMI,
and afterwards attended the State
Normal School at Winona, MINI.
He came to DEBORAH in 1875, taking
position as instructor in Stacks,
Business College, and afterwards
taught in the DEBORAH public schools,
Luther College and DEBORAH lnsti-
tute, as a special teacher of pen
manship, and he had few equals.
In 1882 he organized the Valdez
Business College and in 1889 the
Valdez Normal School. In May 1913
these institutions were Incorporated
as Valdez College.
Thousands of students attended
this popular college during its ex-
istence here, and all were properly
and well fitted for this life's work.
The school is known far and vide,
and students from it are scattered
over the lenghth and breadth of the
land.
Prof. Valdez was a man of strong
ideals. He was an excellent citizen
always, and he left a record that
is a credit to him and will live long
in the memory of all who knew
him. He was a man of honest pur-
pose, square and honorable in all
his dealings, and his many sterling
qualities of character gained for him
an extensive circle of friends.
Prof. Valdez was man who kept
we'll informed on all the important
questions of the day. In politics he
was a democrat, but never took any
active part as an office seeker. Prof.
Valdez was bachelor, and for many
years past took his meals at the
Winneshiek hotel, and lived in rooms
in a residence he owned first door
west of the st. Cloud hotel.
The funeral services will be held
today, Wednesday, services being
conducted in the Methodist. church
at Mabel, Mimi, with interment at
Newberg, his old home, four miles
distant from Mabel. Six old friends
of the deceased from DEBORAH will
act as paIlbearer. They are Atty.
M. A. Harmon, Or. NJ. D. jewell,
C. ]. Wangler, l.. E. Bruflodt, Albert
Atkinson and Prof. Chas. Whalen.
Valdez College will continue the
same as before. The school has a
corps of good instructors and is en-
loving a good patronage.

DEBORAH LOSES TO CHARLES
CITY
Score % TO IS. Rain and Weight
Hurts Locals Chances.

PLAYING in a real deluge during
the last half, the Charles City high
school defeated the local Red and
Blue on Burns field Friday 20 to 10.
During the first half the Charles
City boys clearly outplayed the loo
ais. getting away on their rosy poly
signal for motion to many long
gains. Smith went over for their first
touchdown in 2 minutes and 10 sec
onds aided by beautiful interference:
After this touchdown the Red and
Blue bows settled down and put up
real scrap but Charles City's in
reference and the failure of the
local ends TO drop the forward pass
ers when possible Melted the invad-
ers another touchdown. The try for
point failed.
Second Half-Thngs began to hap
pen this half. DEBORAH received the
kick and began ripping big holes
through Charles City's right side OF
the line, through which Bauder and
Henning were making five and SIX
wards q down. Drawing in his OPP
ponents secondary defense, Algyer
heaved a neat pass to Henning who
raced 80 yards for a touchdown.
Charles City received and found
stubborn resistance and was forced
70 punt. Algyer received and was
downed on his 40 yard line. A
series of smashes netted two frst
downs and then Bauder c;rcled right
end for So yards and was downed on
his / yard line. Viste plunged over
for the locals second touchdown.
Bauder added the point and the
score was 10 to Is.
The locals had an opportunity 10
win here. They were ripping their
heavy opponents line to shreds and
passing accurately but the rain m
terfered here and made passing inn
possible and the lighter team was at
disadvantage.
The third quarter ended, Charles
City began to hold the locals smash
ings and once on the offensive their
weight was used to good advantage
and slow but steady gains netted
them a hard earned victory.
A tumble by the locals on their
opponents IL yards line robbed them
of another chance to be late in the
game.

Little Boy Hit by Auto

Yesterday afternoon the little son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Meyer was
nit by an auto driven by John Drew
at the intersection between the
Grand Opera House and Music Shop.
Two little ones were out in the street
playing around, and the accident
appeared one of those unavoidable
ones. We understand the child was
not seriously hurt. The fender of
the car knocked him down but the
car didn't run over him. Mr., Drew
turned his car into the curling at
the corner of the Grand.

marred by people who feel no res
possibility for maintaining the at
tractiveness of the place. They visit
these romantic scenes, and deface
them with tin cans and other camp
refuse. The touch of man unless
well regulated and controlled, seems
to carry a certain faint with it that
blights the fairest works of nature.
Let it be hoped that the p.cnickers
and campers of DEBORAH when they
go on their pleasant outings, are
careful to leave these scenes Just as
neat and beautiful as they find them.

Commissioner Haynes was especial.

TRAINING CAMP PLANS ARE
 WAITING SENATE ACTION

Although announcements from the war department regarding the number of men from Connecticut who will undergo military training this summer estimate it at approximately 5000 men, military of f1cia1s in Hartford estimate the number as considerably less. All plans for sum mer training, however are suspended temporarily until the military appropria- tions bill finally comes through the sen- ate. If it comes through the senate in the form it reached it, after the extensive pruning done by the house national guard officers say that not even the en- tire national guard personnel of the state will be able to undergo the two weeks training period for lack of appropria- tions. The number of organized reserve officers to go to Camp Devens will be cut to an almost unrecognizable minimum and the number of students admitted to the citizens military training camp will be also greatly curtaiIed. Hence the re- who are in charge of this work in the state are unable to proceed since they have no idea how many men will be handled by the government.
 The sentiment among army officers at the state armory seems to be, however, that the appropriations for military training when finally fixed by the senate will provide training for approximately 2,500 men in the three camps, the na- tionaI guard, the 76th division and the citizens military training camps at Devens. Out of this number over 5000 will be guardsmen divided thus: Infantry, 1,45S officers and men; artillery, 1.055 cavalry 166; ambulance company, 42 coast artillery, 209; Battery A, Branford, 116. As these figures are only approxi- mate, the number of guardsmen to under go training at Mantle and Devens will probably exceed the above figures.
 The war department figures estimates that there will be about 750 officers out of the 76th reserve division (which in | cludes Rhode Island beside Connecticut) i but Hartford of1cers said "Wednesday | that the number would undoubtedly be l much less than that-probably 300 off. cers from Connecticut. There also vii | be provision made for number of en. | listed men in the appropriations, bu how many is not known. The camp vii l be held at Devens Aug. 13 to Sept 5.
 The c. M. T. c. encampment will be gin Aug 1 and will continue for foul l weeks. The course will be divided int three camps as last year, the majorit!

 A free expression of public opinion on the matter will be possible in the meet ing, which promises to be very largely attended. The vote in such meetings is usually decided by viva voce vote, but if it should turn out that the vote was so close that the presiding officer could not determine by the yea and nay vote, bal lots would have to be used.
 If the action of the meeting Is favor able, Norwich will probably go on a day. light saving schedule by common consent on Sunday. May T.

He felt that Nor wich did not want to make itself an iso- lated example of inability to agree upon something that was for the general good and general convenience of the business community by failing to fall in with the daylight saving plan, and in his view il i Sould be rather reflection upon the cit | izens of Norwich if they could not agree to do what other important communitie:
