FOUR SIZES
BLUCK, PROGRESS, PERSEVERANCE AND PATRIOTISM IN POLITICS
The Camp Meeting Progresses.
As advertised by the bills announc
ing the Cresco Circuit camp meeting
the Rev. Mr. Gough spoke to appre
ciative audiences on Wednesday and
Thursday evenings. On Friday and
Saturday evenings as scheduled, the
Rev. J. Arthur Young of Rid^eway de
lighted those who heard him with mas
terly appeals. Sunday was a red let
ter day. A trio of young men, the pas
tor aiding, furnished special numbers
throughout the day, which with the
aid of the union choir in the forenoon
and a solo by Miss Miller of Fayette,
alone offered inducements large enough
to draw large crowds from neighbor
ing districts.
The musical treat was, however, but
a smattering of the good things prr"
fered to the people on that day. Dr.
Cooper thoroughly proved himself a
master of assemblies, ahd by his easy
grace both in the pulpit and in private
conversation won the hearts of all.
Rev* Gammons delivered one of his
characteristically eloquent addresses
in the afternoon and gave to the day
its crowning success. We are deeply
indebted to all for their attendance and
hearty good will. The minister, Rev.
Luce, has plans under way for a big
day on the closing Sunday, Aug. 8.
The Rev. Mr. Bindenberger, who is
field secretary for Upper Iowa Uni
versity, will preach on that day, ably
assisted by the Rev. H. Williams of
Lime Springs. Those who heard Mr.
Bindenberger some time ago in the
Cresco M. E. church, and Mr. Williams
on Chautauqua Sunday, know what
treats are in store for those who come.
Cold running water is within ten rods
of the tent. The teams will be amply
cared for. Special muBic of the very
best will be on the ground. "You're
as welcome as the flowers in May."
Come, bring your dinners and stay for
the afternoon and evening meetings.
Weather-Crop Bulletin.
Des Moines, Iowa, A*ug. 1, 1909—The
average temperature during the past
week was very nearly normal and
while the rainfall was generally de
ficient showers occurred on one to
three days over the larger part of the
slate. The first three days of the
week were cloudy and moderately cool
with frequent light showers, but the
last four days days were clear and hot.
Thursday being the warmest day of the
year, the maximum temperatures rang
ing from 90 to 100 degreeB, The rains
were timely and especially beneficial to
corn, potatoes, pastures and garden
vegetables. Corn is doing remarkably
well and has not yet sufFered from the
lack of moisture in any part of the
state. Nearly all of the early planted
fields are in full tassel and earing
nicely. The belated corn is doing its
best, but a great deal of the very lat
est cannot mature unless frost occurs
much later than usual. The weather
has been exceptionally favorable for
haying and harvesting and most of the
hay and grain crops have been secured
in the best of condition. Harvest work
is now nearing completion and thresh
ing will become general during the
coming week Early reports of thresh
ing indicate winter wheat to be of good
quality with yields ranging from twen
ty to thirty-five bushels. The quality
of oats is better than for the past two
years and the yield ranges from twen
ty-five to forty-five bushels. Consid
erable timothy has been cut for seed
in the southern districts and more will
be cut during the coming week.
Pastures and potatoes are doing well
but will soon need more rain. Rain
would also be very beneficial to corn,
especially in the eastern and northeast
ern counties where the rainfall during
the past month has been below the
average for July.
Big Families of Depositors.
The interest displayed by the public in
the offer of the Cresco Union Savings
Bank to add $1 to each savings account
of $2 or more started at their bank by a
child under 15 years of age, does not
lessen in the least. The officers of the
bank report that the plan is working
to their entire satisfaction, new de
posits being made daily, and believe
that it has produced results in one re
spect especially which no other bank
can duplicate, one family of seven and
another of eight, all under 15 years of
age, having opened good accounts.
We believe that such occurances of so
many depositors among children in one
family must be very rare and will be
pleased to hear from other families
who can boast of so large, or even a
smaller, number of depositors.
Will Open Millinery in Decorah.
Miss Woellstein and Miss Byrns, of
Crssco will open a new millinery par
lor in Decorah in the near future.
They have leased the room formerly
occupied by the El by grocery in the
Vick block on Water street, next to
the Milwaukee track, and will open
and conduct an up-to-date millinery
establishment. Both Miss Woellstein
and Miss Byrns^are ladies whom it is a
pleasure to meet, and' both are also ex
pert trimmers. We wish the new firm
abundant success.—Decorah Journal.

If the bank deposits in Cresco do not
swell considerably it will be due to no
lack of inducements on the part of
Cresco bankers. The new Citizens'

age and under, and to whom the Bank
proposes to give $1,500 under certain

goods will be installed. Walter Eddy
will assist Mr. Shelmedine in caring
for the trade, and owing to his wide
acquaintance will be of great value to
the new concern.
The new switch-board is being in
stalled in the Northern Iowa Telephone
Company's new building by H. G.
Addie and his assistants, and owing to
the large number, about 4,000, of wire
connections to be made, it is not antici
pated that the work will be completed
before Sept. 1st. All the preliminary
work possible will be done before at
taching and testing out the cable wires,
so that the 'phone users will be incon

anticipated that no patron wijl be de

Sears Roebuck & Co., the mail order

the passage of law by congress but the
enforcement of the pure food law by
the agents of the government that
drove the catalogue house out of busi
ness. The fact that they cannot sell
grocries and drugs successfully if the
law is enforced certainly demonstrates
that their patrons in the past got so
much adulterated food. It is also evi

II.—The Head of the
Table
A lot of quarrelsome Scottish
chiefs used to quarrel because each
wanted to sit at the head of the ta
ble. Some one hit on the plan of
putting a round table in the room
where they met, and each of them
then imagined that he had the place
of honor.
This arrangement worked splen
didly until Bob Boy McGregor took
a shy at it. After he had become
sure of his power a banquet was be
ing served to the chiefs at the round
table.
When the servants brought in the
roast McGregor shouted, "PUT IT
AT THE HEAD OF THE TABLE!"
"But where is the head of the ta
ble asked the servant.
"THE HEAD OF THE TABLE IS
WHERE THE M'GBEGOB SITS."
The McGregor spirit is what this
town needs. So far as we are con
cerned, this is the CENTEB OF THE
EABTH. If we're not proud of our
town we should get a hustle on and
make it a town to be proud of—
