GREEN DECORAH, IOWA, MAY 17, 1922 GROSS FOR SENATOR With two other candidates in the field, Mr. H. -C. Cross is making an active campaign for the nomination for state senator in the Winneshiek- Howard.district and is making scores of friends wherever he goes. Mr. Gross is one of the big, pro gressive farmers of Decorah township and knows farm needs and condi tions to the core. His candidacy for the senate—the first ti ne—is foster ed by hundreds of voters of the dis trict who want a business like ad ministration for all, at this time when the b ggetv men and best tal ent should be selected to fill such places. Mr. Gross has been a life long “dirt farmer” and has always shown a keen interest in the building up, the advancement, progress, and pro tection of 21,000 farm folks of the district and the 300,000 farmers of lowa. Mr. Gross grew up from a pen nile.'.s boy, and has made a record that stands flawless, absolutely un impeachable. He is capable of hand- Jing a statewide proposition and is a man who even hi- opposition con cede would rather work than talk. His educational qualifications are nil that could be asked for, being a graduate of Clay Hill school; work ed his way through and graduated from \ alder Business College and also completed the Commercial Law course at \a' lar-. He specialized ut L pper lowa University and had law training through the Chicago I'h'hou! ot Law. A number of years j itg<> he laugh' school several winter j terms in Winneshiek county and! tiie re tor know- school needs and con-; « 11 :io!. <, where a large amount of .'our tax money goes. Mr. Gross always been a Ro- Pub ican and nee 1? no introduction i to the di.-tric:, be ng as widely and j favorably known a any citizen in i it. Ho i- fair minded about all busi nos.' mutters. His knowledge of gen era! business is practical and sound, ;uiu his badness adv sors would be seioote 1 for thei *• fairness, wisdom und s.nceretv. If the Winneshiek- Howard district desires a broad, ser viceable. energetic, sincere and cap- j nb.e .-enator it cannot do better than send Mr. Gross to D&s Moines next January as s ate .senator. o Supreme ( ourt Affirms Judgment The case of M. J. Carter vs. Ray mond Sullivan commenced iby Mr. Carter tor an accounting after the law partnersh p had been dissolved here in the district court, and ini which Mr. Carter, the plaiiviff, lost; the case, was appealed to the sup re-1 me court. Last week the supreme court on the motion of E. R. Acre-,; Mr. Sullivan’s attorney, affirmed the judgment of the lower couit. This ’ ends a law suit between two at torneys. • 11 U —■ ■ The money that it once took to make the mare go, isn’t enough to make the automobile go. r BIG DROP IN PAVING PRICES Hancock County Awards Contract For Hard Surfacing North lowa Pike at $2.18■ Per Square Yard, Garner, lowa—Contracts were let at Hancock road between here and Britt and also for the four miles between Hutchins and Kossuth coun ty line. The contract was awarded the Henkel Construction Company of Mason City at $2.18*2 a square yard. The Pickus Engineering and Con struction Company, of Sioux City, came next in their bid of $2.20. From this price the eighteen bids ranged up to $2.73. The $2.lBMs per square yard makes an immense sav ing over last year’s price, which was $3.74*2. Work will start at once, and is to be completed on or before Dec. 1, 1922, and will make a continuous stretch of hard surfaced road on'the North lowa Pike from Algona to Charle- City, as Wesley has taken steps to have its main street paved, and Kossuth county will build the rest of the road to its east county line. The letting of this contract for pav.ng has really a deep signifi cance. It means that a new era has dawned, and e-peciaily for •‘he fanner folk.

The question was answered to every one using the road, when they saw it like a broad white ribbon winding on and on, and as a contrast noticed the approaching side roads, ' either muddy or rough or rutty, and ' at times impassable. The greatly lowered cost of construction has re moved the only objection ever made to this good work. The board of supervisors is grati fied over the results of the letting. o Quit Business or Give l'p Music Waterloo, lowa—Joseph Diefen bach, a veteran musician and an ama teur poultry raiser, will have to de cide whether to discontinue raising poultry or give up playing his bass viol at home. He has discovered that two will not harmonize in the home. H s wife objected to his playing the bass viol in the living room owing to the constant vibration, and he arranged a place in the basement where he could practice. He also had four settings of eggs, fifty-two in. all, about ready to hatch in the basement. Diefenbach became worried when the eggs failed to hatch and investi gation disclosed a dead chick in each egg. He was unable to determine the cause and consulted an expert. He was informed that the vibration from the bass viol playing had killed :he chicks.

In last Friday’s game the De corah High School base ball team defeated 'the Cresco team by a score of 10 to 6. The game was very much in Decorah’s favor all of the time. Cresco making four of their run? at at time when the pitcher was not at his best. He walked three men and then Cresco’s star batter got up and made a two base hit. With that and an over throw at home two more men went in. The batteries were Neshiem pitch ing and Bauder catching. Neshiem pitched a mighty good game striking out ten men while h's catcher back ed him up to perfection. Neshiem also was helped out very well by the other seven men, every one play ing a good game. Cresco probably lost the game be cause of not having a strong bat tery. This part of their team was very weak bu-: otherwise they piay ed a good game of ball. o “When you’ve nothing ei.~e to do you can go out and get signatures to a nomination paper,” observes the Story City Herald. “And sometimes you can do it when ycu have some thing else :o do.

B DECORAH, IOWA W hich Class Are You In There are some people who go through life with a smoothy serenity that is seldom ruffled says the Rolfe Arrow. It is not ruffled because they do not trouble to go deelply jntio affairs and conitions aiound them. They do no harm in the world, ami sometimes exert themselve to thr extent of doing a little good. We like them, but they command no great amount of admiration. There is an other class, and they are in the ma jority, who are not averse to speak ing their minds. Generally they are fair students of men and conditions, dig down after facts, make up their minds after a careful analysis, and then by their convictions. They give praise where it is due, but do not hesitate to censure when it becomes necessary. They are the construe*, ive citizens of the country. And then there is still a third class. They are the kickers—the chronic ones—ami their happiest moments are when they are kicking about something, or somebody, or both. They come into the world kicking, go through life with a kick, and kick like the devil because they have to shuffle toff. They are destructive to soe'ety, and rore destructive to themselves. And the very peculiar phase of the mat ter is that most of us have the pri vilege of choosing the class to which which we belong.

It is so exciting that hundreds of people have asked how it was made. J. Gordon Edwards, who directed the filming of the story for William Fox, answers the ques tion as follows: “.There is no secret about it. You can’t keep a motion picture set con taining 5,000 people and covering 150 acres a secret. W’e simply buiit the arena, put on the races and phot ographed them from every angle we could think of. Two of the chariots overturned, giving Jim Murphy, a driver, the narrowest escape of his career. Tom Mix, the cowboy star, did some thrilling riding for us by way of what he called ‘whooping it up,’ and Betty Blythe and Nell Craig, driving a chariot apiece, proved that they were as skilled and as daring horsewomen as ever I’d seen in my life. That’s about all I can say.” It might be added that it took weeks of work to arrange for the race and that thousands of dollars were ex pended on it. o What Cheer Marshal Killed Oskaloosa, May 4. —Edward Crowe, aged 58, town marshal of What Cheer, lowa, was accidently killed this morning when he jerked a‘ gun lrom his pocket.
