Even Wisconsin folks, like chicken dinners, as we note that 800 Prairie du Chien folks attended a church chicken dinner held in that city a recent Sunday. A gourd longer than a- ball has been on display at Loren Ostrander's this week, says the Hawkeye Beacon. It looks something like an elongated cucumber. Decorah postoffdce employes went on a 40 hour per week schedule last Saturday and it is expected the change will necessitate the addition of one or two workers to the force. Chas.

Medberry of Hlyria, on Sept. 17 marketed fourteen hogs which weighed an 'average of 200 pounds and' brought him $315, says the Elgin Echo. They were March pigs and were sold through the Elgin'Co-op. There is no fooling about it, fellows, if you dont stop at "Stop" signs you are going to be called upon to pay a mighty staff fine. At Decorah last week an Oklahoma salesman paid a "$25 and costs" fine for running thru a "Stop" signj near that city.

A new crossing built by the Rock Island railway across highway 9, just east of Decorah, is a considerable comfort to motorists, says Decorah Public Opinion. The old crossing was quite rough, but the new one permits crossing it at high speed with hardly a jar even to cars of ancient vintage. Fifty-three men from Marquette and McGregor and vicinity started Tuesday on a soil conservation project near Farmersburg under WPA auspices, says the McGregor Times.

D. H. Culver reports picking twelve quarts of strawberries from his bearing plants that were set out in the spring, states the Clear Lake Mirror. Iowa can produce anything at anytime, so why go south for fresh fruit and vegetables. One of the oldest and pioneer bust ness firms in Adams Seed and Milling been sold to Clifford E.

Natvig of Lawler, Iowa, says the Decorah Journal. The Adams Seed company his been in business in Decorah since 1865. Decorah may soon have a factory employing 50 or 60 people, says the Journal.

The immense fish, probably the largest caught in this vicinity this year, put up a real struggle and Miss Flora Bergeson, his sister, assisted in the landing of the big fish.

The catfish was caught in the Upper Iowa near the Bergeson summer home. When the distribution of the corn- hog program adjustment benefit checks to farmers of this county is completed, says the Decorah Journal, probably in January or February of 1936, there will have been paid to farmers of Winneshiek county something more than $1,000,000 in 18 months to increase purchasing power in addition to the receiving of 'higher prices for their farm products. A proposed grant of $73,350 for the construction of a new sohool building for the independent school district of Calmar was authorized and approved by the PWA in Washington last week, says the Decorah Journal. This will be the gift from the government toward a school to cost $83,000 if the Calmar district decides to go ahead with the project and take advantage of the government gift. -are not the only local products to -be cutting" up queer capers this season is evidenced by a corn stalk brought to this office Monday by Walter Bowers, says the Crescd Times.

The stalk contains three perfectly formed ears all grown from one stem. We have heard about the farmer whose corn grew so tall he had to use a step-ladder to -reach the ears at husking time, but three ears from one stem is something different. The McGregor, CCC camp was rated third in the eight units of northeastern Iowa last week, scoring 841.92 points In a possible 1,000, says the McGregor Tunes.

The park received its name from the still existing den which is located on the area and at one time was inhabited by wild cats. The newspaper craft of Waukon has its third representative under surveillance and treatment in the hospitals at (Rochester on account of bodily their heads, says the Waukon Journal. First it was John Orlebel; Tom Dunlevy Is there at present, as Is Albert Tousley of the R.

who has Ibsen remanded there for treatment for some defect to his heart organism which all trust may prove of a minor nature. He has been there the past week, Another step toward the realization of paving of No. 93 was made lost week, when the announcement was made in Washington, D. that $164,000 in federal funds had been set aside toward this contract, bids for which were received by the state highway commission in Ames Tuesday, says the Sumner Gazette. This appropriation will provide employment for 200 men on relief.

Another factor in the project of especial interest to the people of Bremer county is that the new paving will be 20 feet in -width instead of the 18 feet whioh has been the regulation width in Iowa heretofore. A crew of nine magazine solicitors, traveling in one Ford'car, had only a short stay in Decorah last week, says the Journal. Mayor George A. Baker began checking up on the activities of the group of magazine solicitors. The stories of some of them did not jibe.

One man Said he was from Waukon and later admitted he was from Chicago. Chief of Police Eli Ellickson and Patrolmen Mike Musser and Alton Nelson rounded up the group and escorted them to the office of Sheriff Mike C. Graf in the court house, where they were held for about two hours. After a conference with county and city officials they promised to leave Decorah and not return and the nine of them filed out and packed themselves into the Ford to leave Decorah. The faithful dog companion of the little two-year-old son of Mr.

and Mrs. Maurice McCarthy of Union Prairie township, no doubt saved the child's life last Friday, says the Allamakee Journal. The little one had wandered away from home and while he was trudging through a field almost a mile away, became mired in a mud pond. The mother, who was alone at home, upon being unable to find the child on the premises became frantic and summoned help from Waukon. The fire alarm was sounded and several auto loads of firemen hurried to the McCarthy home and joined in the search being made by neighbors and school children.

A party finally discerned the dog at the edge of the pond in which the little chap was found up to his arms in the mire and exhausted and sound asleep. Frank A. Germann and Symonds brothers have purchased the interest of Ed Matter in the 320 acre farm formerly known as the Henry Kittleson farm, paying $50 per acre for the interest of Mr. Matter, says the Decorah Journal. Mr.

Germann, Symonds brothers and Ed Matter had operated the farm jointly for the past few years. This property was acquired by the three under unusual circumstances. Each had a first mortgage on the property, naturally assuming that his (first mortgage was the only first mortgage. Attorney A. C.

Lynch worked on the strange case for some time, finally locating a similar kind of a legal tangle in a New England district and the settlement was made on the basis of eaoh person getting a share according to the size of his first mortgage.

In 1934 I paid $105.15 and in 1935 I have paid $78.02 on the same property. Who says the democrats have not reduced taxes? Under their leadership, says the new 'Hampton Tribune, school boards, supervisors, and state taxing boards have done a fine job. Maybe this sounds like a fish story. In fact it is a fish story, relates the Decorah Journal, but John McCall, garage proprietor, swears that it is accurate. In nine casts made into a stream in the lakes district near International Falls, near the Canadian border, last Sunday, Mr.

McCall reports nine catches of pike weighing from three to six pounds each. It is the popular idea that only southerners can raise sweet potatoes, says the Sumner Gazette. But H. J. (jHam) Quandt has come along to explode that idea with a bang.

Friday morning he showed this reporter three sweet spuds "which tipped the scales at exactly four pounds. says it is like digging out boulders to dig them. He dug 23 hills and the total filled an ordinary -wash tub. Former Supervisor George Clark and his wife, well known Allamakee county residents, quietly passed the 55th anniversary of their marriage on Thursday last at their home in west Waukon, says the Waukon Journal.

26, 1880, at Luana. Agriculture is at the turn of the road, either we go forward under cooperative control of surplus production and huge surpluses that will break down prices and take us back to the conditions from which we are just emerging, says "On the Air" in the Independence Conservative. The New Deal points forward. The attack on the New Deal promises nothing but return to the Old Deal: No corn-hog loans, no processing tax, no land retired from production, every farmer raising as many bushels of corn as he possibly can, as many hogs as he can, as much surplus of everything as he can, huge surpluses, 10-cent com, two- dollar hogs, the old Hoover days over again. Edgar Morstad, manager of the local re-employment bureau, and L.

B. Phillips, his office assistant, were summoned to Dubuque last Wednesday for an evening conference of re-employment officials fro this and adjacent counties, says the Waukon Democrat. The deliberations of the conference were heightened, they say, by the presence of Harold Clinite of Des Moines, one of the principal officials of the re-employment service In Iowa, who gave an inspiring address relative to the future purposes and the past splendid record of the re-employment service In this state in effecting relief during the re-employment period. Allamakee county was complimented for doing its part.
