There has never been time when
the demand for brains was keener or

The high tension OF our civilization
Is felt in every branch Of intellectual
effort, and tie fight fer success calls
for more and more Of the expert and

This IS the result OF the amazing
complexities OF modern civilization.
President Eliot, in recent address,
directs attention to the marvellous
change which has taken place In pro
duction and business, making neees
sary the creation OF school Of
business as a remarkable sort Of
climax Of the revolution IN organiza-
lion Of American industries
That business men should demand
the trained product Of this school is
a significant sign Of changed stand
ards.
II Is not SO long ago that the prac-
tical business man turned up his
nose at the young college graduate;
now he Is finding out that he cannot
get trained men fast enough TO sat
Isfy the demand.
Business is becoming more and
more battle OF brains. IN which the
raining Is a big factor Of success.
AS time passes, the self.made man

To one In the midst OF this indus

tions from our merchants and shippers
rs to betterment of the service that
would be mutually beneficial to all con-
corned. The party visited many of the
merchants, accompanied by Mr.. w. w.
Smith, the agent of the company at
Audubon, and listened to all sugges-
tions that were made both as to passen-
ger and freight service. For some time
past the company has been trying to
figure out train schedule that would
permit of two passenger trains and one
freight each week day, and this may
vet be DONE

purchased between the Watts and Burn,
side properties. 1t will be a two-story
building, handsomely finished inside and
out.
Harvey Maharg's house will be built
on the nine acre property south of j. III.

neighborhood.
The Norris house will occupy the
beautiful dwelling site on the corner
north of the Catholic church, which
property Mr. Norris recently purchased
from John G.. Davis.
We are informed that Contractor

Ruhs & Butterton Business Sold

The hardware and implement firm of
Ruhs & Butterton will quit that portion
of their business on the first of the com
ing month, having sold it to a hardware
man from Livermore, who will take
possession on the first of September. The
deal was contaminated some months ago,
but affairs at Livermore were in such
shape that the change could not conven-
iently be made before the time we men
ton. The consideration was 17S acres
of land two and one-half miles outside
of the corporate limits of Livermore,
where land is said to be held almost as
high as it is in Audubon county.
Ruhs & Butterton will continue in
business in Audubon, having retained
the musical instrument portion which
was side-line to the firms business,
which they will continue to push harder
than ever

No Bath, No Music

Preston's pond was one of the most
popular places in the vicinity of Audu-
bon last Sunday afternoon, it being es-
timated that fully 200 people of all ages
journeyed out there to look at the bath
ers and also to hear the Audubon Cornet
Band play some of its new selections.
A large number took their annual baths
on that day, and a still larger number
deferred the feat until later date,
fearful of becoming sunburned. From
what we can learn the members of the
band were among the latter number as
it is reported they were refused permits
sion to use the bathing suits belonging
to the pond proprietor without paying
rental for their use. The boys now de
clare there will be no more free music
at the pond on Sundays or any other
time. They think their music was
worth the use of bathing suit without
cost

FATAL ACCIDENT TO CHILD
Little Child Became Entangled in Rope
of Swing and Lost Her Life

A distressing accident occurred to the
little 4-year-old child of Mr.. and Mrs.
George Kness of Audubon township
Sunday afternoon, resulting in the little
ones death by having its neck broken.
The child, whose name was Ruth,
was playing about the house and climb
ed into swing which was hung a short
distance from the house, and while in
the midst of its enjoyment the rope in
some manner became entwined about its
neck and before assistance arrived the
rope was drawn under the chin and its
neck broken. When the mother called
to the child she received no reply, al
though she plainly saw its little body
apparently standing upon its feet at the
swing, but upon going closer to investi-
gate she saw that one of the ropes was
drawn tight under the chin while the
feet were barely touching the ground.
Life was just about extinct when the
mother released the body and all efforts
to resuscitate were unavailing. Coroner
Harmon was at once notified of the ac-
cident and its fatal termination, but up
on learning the facts in detail decided
that the child's death was purely acct
dental and that an inquest was unneces-
sary under the circumstances.
The child's father, George Kness, has
been in the hospital at Atlantic for some
months past, having met with severe
accident in a runaway which necessi-
tated the amputation of one of his feet
and from which he has not fully recov-
cred. When informed of the death of
his child he insisted on being brought
home, which was done Monday, the trip
being make in an automobile.
The child's funeral was held Tuesday
morning from the family residence.

 The Tower of London has the most perfect system of burglar alarms that aas yet been devised.
 From Scotland Yard. from the gov. srnors headquarters and from Otbes sible officials the whole Tower can ht closed electrically within d few sec oudS Even the pondcTous gates at the middle tower which weigh some tons and through which visitors pass. swing to automatically, and the escape of every one within is instantly barred. At the same time an alarm bell rings so warn wardenS, police and soldiers.
 Iii particular the prccautioaS io the Npcrtmcnt containing tie crnW@ jew sl5 are If mcrt scientifically "!aho- ratr kind. One of the heefeatcrS on duty in he room has merely to press button. whereupon the heavy door closes, the alarm bell below rings. the other gates slam to and lock. ;lid every person within the tower is instantly cut off from the outer world.
 The man who can get away with any of the crown jewels deserves them. observed Tower oltiri:d Prom where am standing could close every important door and gate in the Tower in as short time as II takes to utter these words.
 It was mainly to insure the safety of the crown jewels that the system was installed.
 No order had been issued for the closing of the Tower on a recent Sat urd.y when, greatly to their alarm, the visitors found doors locked. holted and barred against them for about ten mn4tcs, preventing any one leaving the Tower.
 T he Tower simply closed-that is all" remarked an official. w ho caus- ed it to do so we do not know. lt might have been Scotland Yard. where the pressing of a button would iin- prison every soul within tn Tower un- til the police gave the si@ral for their release. or it might hHv" nc"n the governor. anxious to learn whether We were all at our posts.
