LOCAL TOURISTS
VIEW WORK OF
MODERN GENIUS
Rev. DObberstein of West
Bend, Gaining Fame AS
Artist and Sculptor.

While Mr.. and Mrs Oscar Damn
were vacationing in Iowa last week.
Their itinerary included West Bend,
about 70 miles west of Mason City,
and they stopped there to view the
famous Grotto at that place, which is
attracting a great many sightseers
daily
For several years the local priest
at West Bend, Rev. Dobberstein, has
been at work with his own hands
erecting large shrine, which at the
were vacationing in Iowa last week,
about 40 feet il, length, and 20 feet in
width and reaching to a height of
about 20 feet. 1t will require several
years for its completion.
Considering that he has no blue
prints or plans of any kind, and does
not use any mechanical measurements,
not even a yardstick, the edifce might
well be termed an architectural won
der
The interior is lined with decora-
tions made of precious stones and min
erals of every color, fashioned into in
Vulnerable designs, including wreaths
and festoons as if of flowers of various
hues beautifully blended, and each de-
sign symbolic of some truth or histori-
cal fact from the Bible, all of which
has been executed without any pattern
or model.
The exterior is also adorned with
pillars, balusters, urns and inches
made in the same manner. A great
many of the larger ornaments were
made in sections on the floor of a room
in his home during the winter months,
MI
structure, have been found to fit al
most perfectly.
Notwithstanding the fact that many
of the Biblical symbols are not clear
to the casual observer, and that not
all may agree with the priests inter-
probation thereof, visitors are all deep
ly impressed with the handiwork of
the man who is nothing less than a
genius as an artist and builder. The
work is attracting widespread inter-
est, and much of the material is do
mated from distant parts of the world.
He is also at work on fountain in
front of the nearby church, and has
completed a fountain at Humboldt, Ia,
and another in South Dakota, most of
the parts being fashioned at home and
then shipped and fitted together at the
point of destination.
Rev Dobberstein is about so years
of age, and with only one helper, Ia
bors almost daily at his task, and to
avoid constant interruption from ques-
tioning visitors is obliged to ignore
them, so that unfortunately it is not
always possible to find some one pres
ent who is familiar with the interpre-
tation of his work, which is very in
teresting.

Oelwein, Ia, Jan. II, 1925
Dear Sir:
F. G.. Ellsworth, travelling salesman
for Fairbanks Morse & Co. stopped
here at the water works about week
ago and wanted to know if we were
having trouble with our Fairbanks
oil engine. We have never had a
minutes trouble.
-Well, getting back to the
engine will say that there are two
other Fairbanks Morse engines of so h.
power here in Oelwein that has
been in service for ten years, and
running as good as ever-nO trouble.
We pay for electric power .04143 per
k, and l can run pump the same
amount of water for about half with
the oil engine

Query and Answer

Fennimore, T. jim Jules Verne's
"Trip to the Moon" the story is told
that when few days on the way the
dog died and was thrown overheard.
To their surprise the dog followed
ing along behind is no more absurd
Why? The question was asked at our
school not very long ago and nobody
seemed to know.
Answer-It is fiction so well written
that it sounds like true story Jules
Verne was noted for this style of writ
ing, as can be attested not only by
his "Trip to the Moon" but by his
Round the World in Eighty Days
and his Twenty Thousand Leagues
Under the Sea-" His dead dog follow
ed along behind is no more absurd
than people living $4,000 miles under
the sea.
Bridgeport, NJ M.-Can you tell in
the question column how many Span
ish-American war veterans in the
United States that are drawing pen
sions?
Answer-A little over $4,000 This
includes their widows.
Bagley, R. M wish to ask in the
O. and A. who wrote the old familiar
ballad, "The Old Folks at Home? al
so the date?
Answer 1.-THE Old Folks at Home"
was written by Stephen Collins Foster
about 1858. The author died in 1864
Cassville, T. J.-Why do they call
the various breakfast foods cereals?
Answer-The name indicates the
great food value attached to them in
early historic times They were so
named after the Goddess Ceres, the
patroness of agriculture and all the
fruits of the earth.
Platteville, S. d. desire to ask
you that if it were possible to stretch
an absolute straight line from the At
lantic ocean to the Pacific ocean
would the end at the Atlantic be any
higher in the air than the end at the
Pacific ocean?
Answer-Yes The end at the west
would be fifty-five miles, three hun
dred fifty-five feet higher than at the
Atlantic on perfectly straight line.
This is because the earth is spherical
However, if it were possible to see this
line the entire length it would have
the optical illusion of gradually point
