Obituary.
John A. Spaugy was born at Johnstown, Pa., February 6, 1865. In early manhood he came west to Fairfield, Iowa, where he met and married Mary L. Graber, and to them was born one son, Paul Graber Spaugy. The early years of their married life were spent in southern Iowa and in Missouri. In 1909 they moved to Postville, where Mr. Spaugy conducted a meat market until a year and a half ago, when failing health caused him to sell his business. During a long residence here Mr. Spaugy proved himself an honest and upright man and good citizen, and many friends will learn of his passing with sorrow and sincerely sympathize with the wife and son who survive him. The funeral was held from the Community Presbyterian church in this city at 2:30 last Saturday afternoon, Rev. R.F. Galloway officiating. Interment in the Postville cemetery.

Hub Clothing Store Closing Out.
The Hub Clothing Company, which fifteen years ago bought out eh Carl Holter stock in this city, has decided to quit business in Postville, and starts today with a big closing out sale. The store is owned by Messrs. Earl Henry and Thompson of Cresco and J.T. Melvold of this city, the latter having been in charge of same for a number of years past, succeeding J.W. Howard. Mr. Melvold's plans for the future are not definitely decided upon at the present.

Burglar Alarm Installed.
Luhman & Sanders of this city have just installed an Allan Yoe burglar system in their store. This is an automatic safety burglar system which completely covers all the openings of their store, so that if a window pane is broken, wire cut or an attempt made to jimmy a window or door, the alarm sounds. Thirty-three attempts have been made to rob stores equipped with this system, with no loss to these merchants.

BLACK HAWK HIGH BRIDGE
Today the carpenters are finishing the last forms for Pier No. 2, and cement will be poured tomorrow (Thursday), weather permitting, and the big structure completed. As previously stated, excavating is finished for Pier No. 1, and that will not take long to build. Steel work will then follow. In the meantime, night and day, the drag line on the islands is rapidly nearing the completion of their part of the work. The city council last night passed the ordinances regulating the grade and changes on Second street, and that part of the project will be given attention in the near future.
--
The Black Hawk Bridge at Lansing is without question the most important enterprise being developed at this time in northeastern Iowa and the adjoining section of Wisconsin. This bridge will affect every acre of ground, every head of livestock, every business enterprise as well as every business and professional activity. It is the fundamental link that northeastern Iowa has long awaited and which is now fast becoming a reality. To the Upper Mississippi Valley it means a large and increased tourist business, a business that is rapidly assuming important proportions nationally. It means the spending of thousands of dollars along routes leading to the bridge and it means a large traveling public awakening to the beauties of the Upper Mississippi Valley, a district that has remained more or less dormant from the tourists’ standpoint for many years. The fact that many people from long distances now visiting and watching the construction of Black Hawk Bridge speak of the exceptional beauties of this rugged district bespeak the future attractiveness of this region as a magnet drawing tourists to it.

Adjacent to the bridge lays a rich and productive territory. Many prosperous communities and towns of size attest the splendid natural resources obtained here. Probably no series of towns in the state of Iowa represent more of prosperity and progressiveness than the chain of towns on Iowa Highway No. 9 leading to the Black Hawk Bridge. Osage, Cresco, Decorah, Waukon, etc.—these splendid communities will profit and grow as a result of the Black Hawk crossing. A recent survey at Lansing shows a greatly increased business in many lines of business from out of town guests coming in to watch the construction of the bridge. This increase will be many fold upon its completion. This business will grow steadily as highways are improved and as traffic increases. The business men of these communities are receiving the increment from a public service enterprise, and if prophecying is in order, it is our opinion that the great and prosperous northeastern section of Iowa will be rediscovered and its beauties and attractions made known to a great traveling public. Thus the bridge will not only benefit transportation but distribute its benefit economically to those who are awake to take advantage of them in a business way.

BAPTIST CHURCH, WAUKON
We have been wondering if the older people of our congregation have seen the number of gold stars that our boys and girls in the beginners and primary departments are winning for attendance. Their chart is worth looking at. The special interest in this department seems to be helping our school. Remember, the hour is 10 every Sunday morning. The morning worship and sermons begin promptly at 11 a. m. We are expecting the young people’s chorus to sing. The music last Sunday was very helpful. The union service will be held in the Methodist church at 7:30 p. m. The Baptist pastor will speak. The Social Workers met at the parsonage Monday afternoon and made special plans for the fall bazaar, which will be of a different type than usual. The meeting was largely attended and much enthusiasm was shown.

MATRIMONIAL MATTERS.
Miss Lydia Clare Rumph and Mr. George J. Meiners, both of this community, were united in marriage at the Little Brown Church, near Nashua, at 2 p. m. Saturday. The groom’s brother, Alfred Meiners and wife of Eitzen, Minn., accompanied them. En route home they enjoyed supper at Postville an have settled down in Mr. Meiners’ home, the former G. W. Hays residence, with the best of wishes of friends in Waukon and vicinity.

At his home last Wednesday Rev. R. L. Van Nice officiated at the marriage of Mary Theresa King and Edward Dean Benefield. The bride is the daughter of Mrs. Lawrence King of this city and the groom is from Chicago. He is an interior decorator doing some work in this vicinity, and they will make their home for a time in an apartment in the Bee Hive on Pleasant street.

The marriage of Miss Luella, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Kilpatrick of Union Prairie township and James, son of Mrs. And Mrs. Frank Drew of Winneshiek county, took place yesterday morning at the West Ridge Catholic church, the pastor, Rev. Father J. F. McCaffrey, officiating at the ceremony and celebrating a nuptial mass.

DEATH OF LIFE LONG RESIDENT.
After a long period of poor health, dating from an automobile accident that occurred to him six or eight years ago, Charles G. Helming died last Thursday evening on his farm in Ludlow township a few miles southwest of Waukon, occupied by his son-in-law, Albert G. Bahr.

The diseased (deceased?) was the son of Frederick Helming, pioneer of Ludlow township, and was born Jan. 27, 1864, on a farm joining the one on which he passed away. At Newton, Iowa, in 1891, he married Charlotte Silwold and they resided on the farm in Ludlow township. She died in 1905, leaving two sons, Harry and Carl, and a daughter, Margaret. In 1905 he was married to Mrs. L. Wolter at Independence, Ia., who survives him, as do the sons and daughter of the first wife. He is also survived by a sister, Mrs. Minnie Sill of South Dakota, and a brother, Otto A. Helming of this city.

Mr. Helming remained on the farm until about 1915, becoming one of the county’s most extensive and successful breeders of Aberdeen Angus cattle, Percheron horses and Chester
White hogs.

When he retired from the farm he took up his residence in Waukon. He served as Secretary and Treasurer of the German Farmers’ Insurance Company and was a stockholder and Director of the People National Bank.

Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at Zion Reformed church, conducted by the Evangelical Lutheran pastor of Postville, and burial took place at Oakland Cemetery.

Out of town persons in attendance at the funeral included the Misses Margaret, Edith and Lena Winter, sisters of Mrs. Helming; Mrs. Anna Winter, Mrs. Jacob Wackerbarth, Ervin Wackerbarth and Mrs. Henry Kortemeyer, all of Independence, Ia.; Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Nichols, Robert Scott and Theodore Leiwen, Humboldt, Ia.; Truman Stanton, former County Agent, Center Junction, Ia.; Mrs. Lincoln Zarub and daughter, Elaine and Mrs. Cecil Cook, Cedar Rapids; Henry Vonderohe, Sr., Mr. and Mrs. Henry Vonderohe, Jr., of New Albin and the Wm. Gaunitz family of Lansing.

TRAINS WILL NOT BE PUT ON.
The early morning train out and the evening train in, which were taken off the Waukon Branch May 1, with the understanding that they would be restored Nov. 1, as was done last year, will not be restored.

On notification by Station Agent Intlekofer about a score of our business men gathered at the Fireman’s room in the City Hall last Wednesday afternoon to meet Supt. Meyer and talk over the situation. He stated the loss to the railroad company at which the trains were operated last year and thought, as the roads were improved, the loss of passenger traffic would be greater during the coming year.

Those present were called upon by the Chairman to give their opinions on the matter and no very strenuous demands were made for the return of the trains. Postmaster Smith, when called on, stated that there had been considerable delay in the mail service all summer, due to the train stopping down in the stockyards and switching before bringing the coach with the mail up to the station. The superintendent promised that this practice would not be continued.

The meeting adjourned at this point and the Supt., when questioned later by the writer, said the service would continue for the winter as it had been during the summer.

HONOR REV. VAN NICE.
We find the following in Saturday’s Dubuque Telegraph-Herald: “Rev. R. L. Van Nice, pastor of the Rossville Presbyterian church, and his wife motored here Wednesday from Waukon, where they reside, to attend a dinner at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Leas, the occasion being the eightieth birthday anniversary of Rev. Van Nice. The Ladies’ Aid society of the Presbyterian church assisted. Rev. Van Nice was the guest of honor, and the table was prettily decorated in honor of the occasion. Three birthday cakes occupied the center of the table and were circled by 80 burning candles. In spite of the inclement weather and mud roads about 50 friends were present to honor and congratulate the much respected pastor who has been called the “grand old man of Allamakee county.”

GOOD ROADS CARAVAN TOUR.
The Good Roads Caravan, consisting of 110 representatives from twenty foreign countries, who came to the United States as delegates to the International Road Congress, which recently closed its sessions at Washington, D. C., passed through Waukon without stopping at 12:10 Monday on their way to Decorah, where they had dinner and held a meeting. They were traveling in three large white busses and several small cars and were accompanied by members of the State Highway Commission, all Waukon got of the show was to see them coming up Spring Avenue and going west on Road No. 9 with their sirens screeching.

FORMER WAUKONITE DIES AT DECORAH.
From the Decorah Journal.
John G. Schimming, who had been proprietor of a drug store in this city the past 16 years, died Sunday, Oct. 12, 1930 at 2:30 p.m. at his home on Franklin street. Death was due to stomach trouble, of which he had suffered many years. Saturday evening he was at his store about an hour, but had to go home on account of not feeling well. He went to bed immediately and never got up again. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. M. Hogan this morning at St. Benedict’s Catholic church in this city. The business houses of Decorah closed during the services as a mark of respect for the deceased. Burial was made in Mount Olivet Catholic cemetery in Waukon. Among those who came to Decorah for the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. John Jones of Saratoga, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Jones of Cresco, Mrs. Campbell and daughter, Miss Cecilia of Grand Rapids, Minn., and Mr. and Mrs. Fred Schimming of Minot, N. D., Mr. and Mrs. Roy Herman of Waverly, Gertrude and Louis Williams, Pat Tierney and sisters of Waukon.

John G. Schimming was the son of Mr. and Mrs. John Schimming and was born in 1871 at Janesville, Wis. He received his education at Breckenridge’s school in Decorah and at the Minnesota School of Pharmacy, from which he graduated. In 1902 at Waukon he united in marriage with Miss Ellen Tierney, who survives. Both their children, John J. and Charles W., survive, and have been employed in their father’s drug store in this city. Mr. Schimming is survived by two brothers, Fred of Minot, N. D. , and August, who lives in Canada, and by three sisters, Mrs. Lou Campbell, Mrs. John Jones and Mrs. Ed Jones.

After graduating in pharmacy Mr. Schimming worked in drug stores in Hastings, Minn., Cresco and Waukon, before buying a drug store in Decorah in 1914. He was a member of the Catholic church and of the Knights of Columbus, Foresters, Elks and Woodmen.

John Schimming had many friends in this vicinity and in Waukon and Cresco. He was highly esteemed and his death came as a distinct shock to this community, which sympathizes deeply with his bereaved family in their tragic affliction.

WRITES FROM WYOMING.
In remitting his subscription E. A. Howes, our former resident, now of Denver, Col., writes the following letter which we are sure will prove interesting to his relatives and friends among Journal readers:

Medicine Bow, Wyoming, Oct. 9. ’30. Dunlevy Bros., Waukon, Iowa.
Dear Sirs—Enclosed find P. O. order for the Journal, which I usually have forwarded to me wherever I might happen to be.

There are a great many interesting things here almost for any one in what we call the Medicine Bow country and the Medicine Bow range of mountains. For instance I have traveled through here many times and have never seen horses in any great numbers, but today I saw the largest band of horses I have ever seen in my life, 15,000 being rounded up be a few cowboys. Some horses!

What ancient King was it that said “My Kingdom for a horse!” (King Richard III, Shakespeare—Ed.) If the poor fellow could have been out here some one would have given him a horse before the big soap company had them made into soap, where I understand many of them are going.

We have open season here now on big game and had elk for dinner last night at the hotel. You might think me a poor sport for not trying to bag an elk or two, but Tom, I am not so young any more.

Since I sent in my last remittance for the Journal I have become twice a grandpa, which makes a man feel that he must be getting up in years and had better let the younger men chase the elk and deer through the snowy Medicine Bow Mountains. With best wishes, E. A. Howes.

JULIUS BOECKH
Democratic Candidate for Clerk of the District Court.
Julius Boeckh is to the manor born in Lansing and has practically lived here all his life with the exception of four or five years in his young manhood when he was Station Agent at Waukon Junction. He came from there here and all told put in about 25 years at railroad work, then entering the State Bank as Cashier, where he remained until other duties compelled him to resign his position with the bank three of four years before it closed. The stress of circumstances compelled him to leave school before graduation, and he lays claim to no education excepting that which he has acquired in the school of hard knocks and by personal endeavor outside of the school room. Boeckh is an example of what a young man can do even though he has not had the advantages of a college education. He has clerical and business experience of a high order and is well able to take over the duties of the office to which he aspires, or for that matter any office in the court house, and if he proves as popular as he did when a candidate two years ago there is no question about his election. Lansing owes him a practically unanimous vote, for it was mainly due to his efforts as a member of the old bridge organization that the present builders took over the project about a year ago. We will be loth to lose him as a citizen but can afford to spare him to Waukon for a few terms, knowing that his land and other large interests hereabouts will call him back after at least four years of faithful service as a public servant.

BLACK HAWK HIGH BRIDGE
Supt. Ben Storey, of the Industrial Construction Co., Minneapolis, who are building Black Hawk bridge, was down a couple days last week, and found everything progressing nicely. Pier No. 2, (the big one across the railroad track,) was completed on schedule last Thursday, and construction of Pier No. 1 on Second street is now in progress. On its completion the work of building the wings, retaining walls, etc., on Second street will be started. The alley across the bridge lot is being opened at this writing, big trees cut down and grading done, and this will soon be in use by the public. Owing to the ill health of George Bouchier, Mr. Storey brought along a new foreman, Mr. Nels Nelson, who is now in charge of construction. Mr. Nelson has a wife and two children, and may move here if he can secure suitable quarters. Progress on the island road is being made rapidly and is expected to be finished before the freeze up. T. H. Bakewell, one of the directors of the Iowa-Wisconsin Bridge Co., went to Minneapolis, Monday, to attend a meeting of the Company. Tom is called the “father of the bridge,” is a heavy stockholder himself and has been one of the company’s best salesmen. All in all, everything is moving steadily along towards the completion of Lansing’s dream of a lifetime—the building of Black Hawk Bridge.

The interest which the Lansing Bridge is attracting in northeastern Iowa is exemplified by the large number of visitors which were in town Sunday to visit the bridge. There is probably no season of the year when the beauty of northeastern Iowa is so attractive as in the fall season. Iowa Highway No. 9 from Decorah to Lansing is one of the beauty stretches of Iowa. There is probably no more delightful trip than this and it allows visitors to observe the most important project in that section of the country, the building of the Black Hawk Bridge.

It is hard to estimate the number of visitors that have visited the bridge so far this fall but on Sunday, the 26th, it was estimated that some 250 cars brought visitors to the bridge. The view from Mt. Hosmer is most impressive and the large groups of people on top of Mt. Hosmer acclaimed it a most interesting project. If the weather stays clear, Lansing will undoubtedly be host to several hundred visitors and it behooves the citizens of the community to extend every possible courtesy to these guests. There is probably no better advertising for any community, town or city than the hospitable welcome of the traveling public. These people are not only impressed with the greatness of the Black Hawk Bridge but the welcome and friendliness which they receive by the citizens of the town. Lansing has long had the reputation of being a friendly town. There are many excellent eating houses in Lansing. They are doing a splendid business. Many fine commendations and remarks have been made on the food and service of these places. Oil filling stations, garages, in fact every line of activity comes in contact with those visiting the bridge. The welcoming hand of good fellowship will probably have more to do in advertising Lansing as a splendid community than anything that could occur. These people are entertained for a few hours. They are the city’s guests. Upon leaving they tell their friends of the pleasures they experienced, which in turn attracts other hundreds of visitors to the city. It behooves the citizens of Lansing to realize their opportunity to express themselves in friendly service to their guests. This is indeed an opportunity that does not come to every community. Lansing realizes this and will surely make the most of it.

Among the number of guests visiting the Black Hawk Bridge was a party headed by Mr. Carl Stoner of Mason City, Iowa. Upon leaving, they expressed themselves as having had a delightful trip and that the Black Hawk Bridge was a greater project than they anticipated. A number of people from Mason City are interested financially in the bridge at this time.

Discuss Nine Foot Channel.
In response to an invitation from the Kiwanis Club of McGregor, Geo. Aschom and R. G. Miller, in company with I. E. Beeman and Editor Griebel of the Waukon Democrat, journeyed to the Pocket city Monday evening where they, together with other guests from Prairie du Chien, Postville, Elkader, West Union and several other towns in the territory, were guests at a dinner and meeting of the club. The feature of the occasion was a talk by Capt. Culler of the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries, in which he gave the important facts of the proposed nine foot channel for the Upper Mississippi. He explained that the proposition is to construct dams at intervals of from twenty to thirty miles, some of them to be ten to fifteen feet in height and thus to create a series of backwater lakes that would deepen the water. To show what that would mean to Lansing, for example, the plan includes the building of a dam just below Lynxville that would back water up to a stage that would cover the whole of the original Winneshiek bottoms area and the clearing off of all timber on the tract to save it and to prevent its dying and eventually clogging the river. Instead of having a river, we would have a vast lake with the water constantly at flood stage. Game fish that require flowing water would become extinct and carp and buffalo and mud turtles would be the portion of our fishermen. The next dam would be at Genoa and the water would be expected to back from Lynxville to that point. The proposition is already underway and work on the dams has actually started. Timber is being cleared at Lynxville at this time, according to statements made at the meeting. Powerful interests at the Twin Cities are behind the movement and their pulling argument is that the whole central west would be enabled to reach tide water at low freight rates. It is not stated what the fate of the railroads will be or whether they will be able to continue operation.

Strong protests are being entered by many men who are familiar with the conditions and who maintain that it will be time to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on a proposition of this kind when the present six foot channel has proven inadequate and when there is enough patronage for the present barge lines to enable them to pay expenses of operation. The millions that have been spent in making the wing dams would be wasted and other millions would be spent in removing them as obstructions to navigations. Add to these items the damage to property, including farms and highways and sewer systems and railroads, together with the cost of so many dams and concrete barriers from bluff to bluff and then sit down and ask your congressman what he is going to do about it, if it isn’t too late to do anything.
It was a very interesting meeting and well worth the trip to our neighbor city to be in on.
R. G. MILLER

ADDDITONAL WAUKON NEWS

Fatal Automobile Accident.
A terrible automobile occurred Saturday afternoon about 3 o’clock on road No. 9 from Waukon to Decorah, a mile and a half south of the Bell schoolhouse, resulting in the death on one woman, another one in a very dangerous condition at this writing, Monday, and severe injuries to a nine year old girl. The party of three, Miss Lila Harris, daughter of Sam Harris, living near Myron, her nine year old niece, Marjorie McGuire, and Miss Isabelle Brooks, the two latter from Postville, were traveling in a Ford sedan, when the driver, Miss Harris, lost control of the car and it turned over three or four times. The accident happened near the Henry Duval and Charles Klepper places in Ludlow township and Ruth Klepper was an eye witness of the occurrence. She says she noticed the car coming pretty fast and then it began to wobble and turned over several times and the occupants were thrown out on the roadside. The neighbors, Kleppers, Duvals and Sandermans, did what they could for the victims until the arrivals of the doctors from the Waukon Hospital, who administered first aid and then brought them to the hospital. The two women were unconscious and Miss Harris passed away shortly after reaching here. The little girl was terribly cut about the legs but will survive her injuries. There seems but little hope at this time that Miss Brooks will live. Her skull is fractured and her body badly crushed and cut. The victims presented a heartrending sight as they were carried into the hospital. The two women unconscious, gasping for breath and all three covered with blood and dirt. It was some little time before the girl came out of the shock sufficiently to tell who they were so that relatives could be notified.
P.S.—As we close our Waukon department at 10 a.m. today, Tuesday, Miss Brooks is still alive and has partially regained consciousness, but the physicians are as yet unable to say whether or not she will survive her injuries. The little girl is getting along all right.

Court Convenes.

Rueggenmeier. Mr. Rueggenmeier was appointed foreman by the Judge, who also briefly concisely explained their duties to the jurors. He closed by saying there was no business for them at the present time and they would be excused subject to recall if any business turned up.

POLITICAL ADS

OVE T. ROE, Candidate for Representative.
To the voters of Allamakee county:
I shall always deeply appreciate the vote given me for representative four years ago when I came within a few votes of being elected.
My friends in both parties having urged me to again become a candidate for Representative, in compliance with their wishes I accepted the nomination for this responsible office.
If elected I want to assure every person who votes for me that I will constantly endeavor to fulfill my duties as your Representative.
In the first place I am for economy. My every vote in the Legislature would be to reduce the heavy burdensome taxes that have steadily increased on all properties during the past years.
Just to mention, I have received letters outlining prospective legislation that proposes a big increase in appropriation for certain State departments, to include increase of salaries and expenses of chief officers, etc. I shall vote against such plundering of public funds.
Neither will I take a cent more salary than I am entitled to, which will not include my board and washing, etc.
I was born and raised on a farm in this county and still follow that occupation; therefore, I have a general knowledge of Iowa’s leading industry which is agriculture. My other activities including church, school and social affairs, I think, are well known.
My desire is, if elected, to serve the public in an honest, efficient, considerate manner. Therefore, I trust I will merit your support at the coming election on November 4th.
Yours respectfully, OVE T. ROE.

JULIUS BOECKH, Democratic Candidate for Clerk of the District Court.
We feel that the vote of this entire community should go for Julius Boeckh. Throughout his entire lifetime he has worked faithfully and well for the public good. Nothing of a public nature was ever attempted that Julius did not have a hand in and he never received any pecuniary reward for his time and labor. He never asked nor expected any reward other than the satisfaction any good citizen gets out of seeing his home place prosper. Then, too, let us not forget, Julius is everybody’s friend. Not a man alive would do anybody a good turn quicker than Julius would. We that live with him know these things and appreciate them and this paper predicts that the vote for him will be overwhelming.

WALTER L HALL, Democratic Candidate for Sheriff.
Served one term and was an economical and efficient law enforcement officer, as the following record will show.
As a result of arrests made strictly through the Sheriff’s office for violation of the law, the courts assessed fines amounting to over $4,000.00.
The office also earned fees due to the county, nearly $2,000.00. Thru the evidence and confessions secured by the office the immense cost of trial by jury was eliminated in four out of five cases where arrests were made for violation of law for which the courts gave penitentiary sentences. This alone was a large saving to the taxpayers.
Trusting this record of service given as to law enforcement and economy in office may merit your confidence and support to re-elect him Sheriff for a second term at the election Nov. 4, 1930.

WILBUR L. PECK, Democratic Candidate for congress, Fourth District.
I am opposed to the Smoot-Hawley tariff law for the following reasons:
It increases the living costs of the consumers of the United Sates aggregating a billion dollars a year and each farmer will be assessed at least ten dollars a year for every dollar of possible benefit that he may secure as a result of the increased tariffs on farm commodities.
The farmer is not helped by a law that raises the price of things he needs to buy, even though it is coupled with an ineffective duty on surplus products he has to sell aboard.
When the times called for moderation and restraint, this tariff law was passed, carrying the highest rates in the history of our country.
It has raised the cost of living at home.
It has driven off our foreign customers and interfered with our foreign trade.
It has caused foreign governments to pass retaliatory measures against the United States traders.
It has delayed prosperity and added to the number of unemployed.
Note the following:
U. S. export trade drops $337,792,000 since the Smoot-Hawley Act was passed.
Washington, Oct.—Foreign trade of the United States for September was the lowest in that month for more than a decade. Exports declined $119,163,000 and imports fell off $124,304,000 as compared with September, 1929. The loss of American trade since the passage of the Smoot-Hawley tariff act is shown by the following figures given out by the Department of Commerce: July, $136,200,000; August, $82,429,000; September, $119,163,000. During the same months, the import trade declined as follows: July, $132,486,000; August, $150,999,000; September, $124,304,000. The total loss in exports for the first three moths of the current fiscal year of 1931, since the passage of the Smoot-Hawley act, was $337, 792,000, while the imports declined $407,789,000, a total loss sin trade of $745,581,000.
The Smoot-Hawley law increases the tariff rates on many Canadian products. To retaliate, Canada passed a new tariff law the last week in September, increasing the rates on many United States products. Changes were made in 130 rates and nearly all were raised.
Canada has been buying one billion dollars worth of goods a year and is the best customer the United States has among the nations of the world. The United States has been buying about a half billion dollars worth of Canadian goods a year. Prime Minister Bennett of Canada has promised to reduce the Canadian imports from the United States by half a billion dollars while the Smoot-Hawley tariff law will reduce our imports from Canada. Thus you see this new tariff law has raised havoc with our Canadian trade as well as the trade with other countries and has added to the number of unemployed. Lower the tariff rates and trade relations with all countries will be resumed and confidence and prosperity will return. For many years city and county superintendent of our schools. Against tariff graft for east as against the people of this fourth district. G. N. Haugen, republican, for over thirty years our congressman, favored every tariff written in the interest of the east and against Iowa and his district.—New Hampton Tribune.

FOR COUNTY ATTORNEY.
James L. Drew, Democratic candidate for county Attorney, is to the manor born, a native of Union Prairie township. He got his legal education at the State University and was admitted to the bar several years ago and is now practicing law in Waukon. He is a bright, capable young man, ambitious and active and would look after the interests of the county in good shape. In voting for James F. Drew for county Attorney, you will be casting a ballot for a man whose ancestors were among the pioneers of Allamakee county and who is in every way worthy of your support. [transcribers note: uncertain of which middle initial is correct.A.K.]

H. E. TAYLOR
is a home candidate for District Judge. On the ballot there is a blank in the Democratic ticket opposite his name. This does not mean that he has no opposition, as a vote for the Democratic candidate on the line above will count against each of the Republican nominees.

CO. TEACHERS’ INSTITUTE SUCCESSFUL SESSION
The first Allamakee County Teachers’ Institute under the direction of School Superintendent Isabelle McCormick was held Thursday and Friday of last week at the High School building and was a most successful affair. There was a large attendance, almost 100 per cent of the teachers of the county being present. She had a most capable corps of instructors and all sessions were attended by a number of ex-teachers, and others interested in educational matters. Prof. Phillips and his school bands furnished enjoyable music during the meetings. The program as arranged was ably carried out. Miss McCormick has every reason to feel proud of her first experience as conductor of the county Teacher’s Institute.

Lafayette Community Club Meet.
The Village Creek school building was the scene of a very fine community meeting Wednesday evening, Oct. 22. A large attendance was present to hear the splendid program arranged by the committee in charge composed of Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Doehler, Mr. and Mrs. Flave Wilder, Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Bieber, Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Mathis and Miss Anna Munz, chairman. Miss Munz, teacher of the Village Creek school, and her pupils are to be commended for the several interesting numbers they presented. The meeting also had the pleasure of having the Lansing High School Band present, which rendered several selections. Last, but not least, was a debate of the question, “Resolved that the Federal Farm Board will be of benefit to agriculture.” The affirmative side was upheld by Fred Straate and Frank Kelleher, while R. G. Miller and T. W. Mullaney took the negative. Some very interesting and instructive facts were presented on both sides, each speaker having some fine arguments. Although no verdict was rendered, both sides were declared winners.

The next meting will be held at the Lafayette Center school house on the 19th of November. The following committee was appointed to have charge of the program: Mr. and Mrs. Joe Hammell, Mr. and Mrs. Will Curran, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Manning, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Wendel.

-Dr. Arthur Norbert Nelson, of Hollywood, California, was an arrival in this city yesterday for a visit with relatives and old home friends.

MASONIC CONFERENCE VERY SUCCESSFUL.
Postville Review, Oct. 23. -The Masonic conference held here yesterday afternoon and evening was well attended, sixteen lodges out of 21 in the district being represented at the afternoon meeting by their Masters, Warders and Secretaries and a sprinkling of members, fully fifty all told being present. The meeting was in charge of Grand Master Gannaway; Frank S. Moses, chairman of the Masonic service committee, and Forrest Treat, Secretary of the Masonic relief committee and superintendent of the Masonic sanitarium at Bettendorf , and each of these gentlemen presented matters of vital interest to the fraternity. At six-thirty the Masons repaired to the Community church dining hall where the Ladies Aid served a banquet to upwards of 100 in their usual good form. The evening session at the lodge hall was attended upwards of 150, who listened to some very inspiring talks from the distinguished visitors. After lodge closed G. C. Hamersly of the local lodge introduced community singing to pep the brethren up a bit. Then came an unsuspected surprise in the line of entertainment when E. C. Holcomb, an announcer from WCCO, was introduced and played a number of selections on a one-string violin and also gave a number of humorous readings. This was followed by a smoker and social session that brought the meeting to a happy close.

OBITUARY—MARTHA QUANRUDE.
Mrs. Martha Quanrude passed away Monday, October 13, 1930 at the age of 88 years, 10 months and two days. Funeral services were held Thursday at the Big Canoe church of which she was a member for 62 years. Rev. Tolo and Rev. Heltne officiated.

They later moved to Allamakee county, Hanover township, where the deceased lived more than 50 years on the same farm. Nine children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Quanrude. One son, Ludvis, died in Seattle, Wash., in 1921. The surviving children are Carrie, Henry Julius, Tilla (Mrs. Lewis Hanson) of Allamakee county, Randie (Mrs. John Borreson) of Madison, S.

D., and Johanna Jorgen of Decorah, 22 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren.

Norton (Kan.) Champion: The chancellor of Kansas University strikes a blow where it ought to be struck. He says medical treatment and surgical operations are too costly. It takes a family of moderate means a lifetime to recover the expenses of one major illness. Of course a man will give all he has for his life or the life of a loved one; but that is no good excuse for placing such a burden on him.

LETTER FROM B. W. RYAN.
Kimball, S. D., Oct. 17, 1930
Dear Mr. Dunlevy:--
I suppose you wonder why I take the time, now and then, to write concerning matters that I take some interest in and if I had to do as much writing as you do I certainly would not do so, but it is not so much different than audible conversation is between folks at that. I am enclosing a clipping concerning road improvements at Devil’s Lake, near Baraboo, Wis., and it made me think of some of the things that have happened in this state where road builders were also scenery wreckers and also made me think of the tree butchers that flourished about twenty-five years ago. In descending into the badlands through Cedar Pass one rounded a curve near the top of the pass and then suddenly burst upon him a wonder view, his first vision of the great badlands wall that sent a thrill through every fibre of his body, such as one might feel if he had been riding in a sleeper on a train and awoke in the morning to find on looking out the window that he was in a veritable wonderland. This is on one road leading from Kadoka, near the edge of the badlands, to Interior within the badlands and there is another road connecting these places that enters the badlands gradually but the thrill is lacking. Few travel that road although one sees the same hills and walls. I have been along both roads myself. In conversation with a man who spent the summer in the badlands acting as a guide, I mentioned that the state had made a start anyhow in building roads there by constructing a fine road through Cedar Pass and he replied: “Yes and they wrecked the scenery, too.” I don’t doubt it and most likely much the same thing happened at Spearfish Canyon, but anyhow I have seen both places several times before these things happened. Now, in building roads, especially concrete roads, the straight road is the cheaper and safer and life and limb needs safeguarding more than scenery does, but both should receive consideration, most careful consideration, which will provide safety and preserve much of the natural beauty of the scenery. I have in mind “The Road of a Thousand Curves” west of Lansing and I think it better to spend a little more money in conserving the scenery and providing for the safety of the public at the same time, than to experience regrets later. Merely a suggestion, not advice.
With best regards, B. W. RYAN.
