Two Minutes
Spell-
Paint Certainty
THE two minutes it takes to
squeeze the Tinter (tube of color
ing) in the can of Liquid Base (body
paint) spells certainty of successful
results when you use B. A V. Baaa
and Tinter Paint-
Preparing this paint for the job is
just as easy and simple as putting
sugar into coffee—and you know you
are really using fresh paint.
Every housewife prefers fresh
-eggs to stale eggs, fresh vegetables
to stale vegetables, for the excellent
reason that the fresh has more good
ness than the stale. Anything in
common use is better when fresh
than when stale because staleness in
realitv is nothing but deterioration.
Bradley & Vrooman
Base and Tinter Paint
Is freshly made, freshly mixed and
freshly colored when it goes on the
job. It costs no more than stale paint,
therefore why take chances with in
ferior materials, particularly when
your own common sense and exper
ience tells you FRESH paint is
better paint? .
Paint Doesn’t Cost Money
—lt Saves It!
Unless your home is protected
inside and outside by repainting at
least once every four years, you will
lose in repairs and lessened value,
from five to ten times what the
paint and labor would cost.

•" Lost Hat Leads to Arrest
The Balekos Hillard parlor and j
confectionary at Monona was bioken :
into Sunday night about 11 o clock. 1
There was but little money to be,
hail but they took ’obacco, cigarettes, i
and confectionaries. The sheriff ar- 1
rested Lon Saawel and Dewy Hensel.
The clue that led to the arrest ef
two persons was a lost hat. In
tbeir hurry ‘o escape they lost a
straw hat when they ran against a
wire stretched along the sidewalk
,-ibout five feet high. In trying to
.make their escape they did not wait
for the hat. Monday Lon Saawel
• endeavored to buy another hat like it
jat McGregor. The lost hat had been
purchased at Monona July Ith. The
young men admitted the theft.

Frank Walton is carrying his left
arm in a sling having sustained a
fracture of the large bone in the

home of his son, Arthur, assisting
in haying and in attempting to ad

using on a stack took a tumble,
ladder and all, and considers him
self lucky that a broken arm was
the only injury received.-Creaeo

that are covered with beautiful rocks
and trees, near the banks of our
great Mississippi.
I visited the artisian well and we
drank freely of the water. This
well as I understand it is fourteen
hundred feet deep. The water tastes
quite salty. Another pleasure I had
was driving my tin Lizzie onto a
ferry ami we were taken across to
Prairie du 'Chien, Wisconsin, and
there was more of the most beautiful
scenery that one can think of. We
visited the button factory and the
clam shells that were piled out side
was a sight in itself. One can
readily see why the price of buttons
is high for they are not made in a
second. It takes lots of skilled la
bor. After returning back to Mc-
Gregor we drove out to Pikes Peak
and this was one of the hardest
climbs that my tin Lizzie ever had.
When we got to the heights we could
look out over the Mississippi for
miles and miles and it was a sight
beyond explanation. In the river be
low there were fishing boats drag
ging for clams. These boats were
quite good size when you were close
to them they looked about the size
of toy boats and the men the size
of potatoe bugs. This scenery was
all eye openers to me.
I also had the pleasure of visiting
the oil well at Decorah. As I un
derstand it they are down'to the
depth of twenty two hundred and
fifiv feet and the sediment th3t
comes up from the drilling, the oil
experts claim, has wonderful indi
cations of oil, and personally I
would rot mind investing in some
of the land near by as I believe
they are going to hit oil. They have
a splendid shaft and equipment and
are driliing day and night. Around
this city is most wonderful scenery.
I had the pleasure of visiting De
famous Ice Qave. This alone

elieveable but it is a fact that in 1
he hottest day of summer with aI El
earch light I went back in under
he earth in this cave and it was el
;o cold that I had to get out. Sev- c j
»ral parties brought out large ice- tfc
rides. At the mouth of this cave M
on a ' 15 seems just like open- a:
ing the door of or.e of our best re- 1*
frigerators. rr
One thing 1 noticed in all the h
towns in Winneshiek County, that I
visited was the beautiful land- a
j.-cape ai tuchecture. There are many b
I homes that would make one stop and c
take notice. These things appeal to c
me and I love to -ee them. My old
| home town of Sp rit Lake has a {
right to boas: of its beautiful lakes i
and natural scenery which I will
admit are wonderful, yet I can truth- !
fully say and am frank in saying i
that Winneshiek county can out
class them in a hundred ways for
Ipaural scenery and .scenic resorts.
It is a credit to any community to
keep up their cities and towns as
they do in V\ inneshiek county.
On our drive back to the ' little
village of Spillville, I stopped and
i took particular notice of their sol
diers and sailors memorial which
is built in the main square and is
u.-ed for public speaking and band
I stand. Spillville did not spare any
! thing when they ejected this me
| morial us it is a beauty, bordered
, I with electroliers and lit up the
I very best. It is one of the finest
. I memorials I have seen on my tra\el.-.
One would be surprised to drive to
[ this little village on Saturday even
ing and see the wonderful crowds
\ that gather to these open air con
i certs.
c Another thing worth a lot to the
a little town is their spendid tourist
. park which they have named River
. side Park. I was very much sur
t prised to see the wonderful public
n hall and stance pavilion that they
e have in their park. It is not put
up like some of the one horse con
structions that you see in some of
our three to four thousand populated
ft cities but it is built to stay and is
a a credit to any park or Cit>. This
lejyear they added a drive to their
ie park. On entering the grounds you
iglpass between some very artistically
i- 1 built pillars standing about six feet
ie high. These are built of white lime
e, rock and cobble stones, capped with
n- cement tops. They are also lit
as with electric lights,
co 1 had the pleasure of spending my
DECORAH PUBLIC OPINION, DECORAH, IOWA
4th of July in this park, and should*
I live until another year I shall be
with them again. I have seen crowds
and cars in Arnolds Park, lowa,
which one can always expect but 1
never expected to see the crowd in
the park at Spillville that there wai
on the Fourth. As l gel it there
was in the neighborhood of four
thousand automobiles ,which I be
lieve is a fact and it was estimated
that there were sixteen thousand
people. Think of this for a town
of four hundred people. Doesn’t this
alone prove co-operation, good spirit
uid good will. The music for the
day was rendered by the Calmar
and Spillville bands and the night
music for the dance was given by the
Decorah orchestra. I certainly en
joyed the music and 1 teok off my
hat to the bands and orchestra. How
1 wished when I heard these bands
playing and the orchestra, that the
town in which I am making my
home now, Humboldt, lowa, and the
town that I think is a dandy, would
wake up and support a band to en
tertain us on every Saturday even
ing. Humboldt has musical talent
and I believe will some day support
a salaried band.
In driving around east of the park
on the winding road, one can notice
lots of splendid farm properties,
especially around the Big Turkey
river. One of the places I noticed
in particular which is very notice
able is a small cottage setting;
lengthwise to the road. It is a peb- I
ble dashed construction and on the
west entrance there is a portgollio,
porch which is certainly cute and j
attractive. This little cottage has
the latest type of French windows, j
and one thing in particular which j
adds to this place and which is very |
attractive and noticeable is the
chimney which is of the latest type
and in fact the kind that are being
built on all of the California bunga
lows where it requires no smoke to
go through to soil them. The tree
and shrubbery. On this little farm is
a beautiful flowing spring which
alone is worth thousands of dollars.
These little farms certainly are in
viting to anyone desirous of locat
ing in an ideal country. It is my
highest ambition to someday locate
in Winnesheik County on one of
these little farms and make it my
future home.
Spillville citizens and people in
general are to be congratulated upon
their splendidly kept town, beauti
ful park, and fine farms. From one
who has made you a visit.

Elephant Jump Of Wrecked Train
Mason City:—Seven of the twelve
elephants in the Hagenbeck-Wallace
circus e-caped from their cars when
the circus train, southbound, of the
Milwaukee short line between here
and Austin crashed into a north- 1
bound Rock Island passenger a: Ply- j
mouth Junction, nine miles north of j
here at 3 o’clock.
After roaming the corn fields for
an hour or so, all were rounded up j
by their keepers and put to practi-
I cal use in restoring three sleeping
) cars to the tracks.
1 Chop-ev, billed as the largest ele
i pliant in captivity, rendered espec

1 Seven persons were reported slight
- ly injured in early reports, but their
; names could not be procured. They
- were taken to Manly for treatment,
r A dense fog is blamed by the en
gineer on the circus train for the
o mishap.
,$ Both trains were crawling along or
the casualties would have been high,
e The Milwaukee engine crashed into
d the rear sleeper on the Rock Island
[• train however, had enough to shove
h it and the two cars ahead of i- off

d The jolt of the circus train was
sufficient to open the doors into the

Marshalltown officers have had
brought to their attention a type of
thievery new to them, the robbery of
grain binder boxes. Such thefts can

from a number of binders.
Reports came to the sheriff’s of
fice Tuesday of the robbery of two
binders in the same neighborhood,
six and one half miles southwest of
the city, Monday night.

It has the fine appearance that
carries prestige, which is another
point in its favor as a business car.
And then it is the cheapest in price
of any car in America, quality and

And because it is the car of lowest

cheapest in cost per year of service
