THE NEW GOVERNOR

While few radical papers have
made an effort to arouse opposition
to Governor Carroll because of his
appointments and demand for resigna.
tons from some men who had been
oyercharging the state, the people have
entire cofidence in his honesty and
ability. The following article from
the Carroll Herald is so true and per-
tinent that we place it before our
readers;
Governor Carroll has been in Office
long enough to show the people what
sort of an administration he Is going
to give. His record as member of the
state senate was that of man who
possessed intellect enough to compre'
bend the full scope of state govern
ment and the right kind of mind to
think out problems of state that came
before him. He was an able, clear
headed member Of the senate and
worked along lines that resulted in
healthful and beneficial legislation.
His record was so favorably judged
that when his name came up for audi
tor of state he had no difficulty in
securing the nomination. He came to
the Office of state auditor when a man
of intellect and integrity was needed,
aud it is now known that he made one
of the very best auditors the state has
ever had. His record as member of the
executive council is that of broad
minded man determined TO do exact
justice to all interests, He shrunk
from no duty and did nothing that he
did not believe to be for the best inter-
ests Of the public.
In the executive office b, r Carroll
has shown the same kind of stamina
that characterized him in the lesser
places. He has gone to the foundation
Of questions he has been called to pass
upon and his conclusions have been
his own With knowledge of public
business rarely possessed by new
governor he is able TO take in the full
scope of questions considered and his
conclusions have been logical and
sound. Once in while some Ill con-
sidered criticisms have been aimed at
him and imputations are limited that
political motive govern actions. But
to those who know the mettle the man
is made OF the real truth can not be
Obscured
Governor Carroll has started In to
do things and the people will not be
slow in learning that he Is working
entirely in their interests His will be
an economical administration and
under his leadership the Republican
party will have nothing to apologize
| for. He was reared in section Of
Iowa where conditions we're hard and
boys grew TO manhood bv putting
forth their very best efforts. 1t requir-
ed work, we'll directed, and results
carefully conserved, to win adequate
rewards in the primitive hills Of Davis
county. and the boy who grew to man
| hood there and made his way in life
had developed in him the best fiber
and the best brain power and charac-
ter known to Iowa citizenship.

Two Eloquent Sermons

Those who attended divine services
at the Presbyterian church last Sab
bath we're treated to two OF the best
sermons ever delivered In Audubon.
AS announced Ia the Presby
church notes last week, Rev. John G.
Miller, OF Osborn, Kan, occupied the
pulpit, and although the reverend gem
tleman was not known here the an
nouncement had the effect of drawing
larger assemblage together than is
usual at both morning and evening
vices-possibly due to the fact that
he Is the father of the new pastor OF
the church who has but recently come
among us.
1t was an unusual yet pretty sight
to see father and son take an active
part in religious service ut the same
time and place, one in full vigor OF
early manhood's strength and coniid-
ence and the other In the declining
years OF lifetime given TO the service
OF his God and the people he has been
placed in charge of as their spiritual
guide and instructor, yet for all his
years retaining a vigor of eloquence
and logic and earnestness of pur pose
that indicated he had still with himthe
enthusiasm of youth In giving To his
hearers the very best that is Ia his
heart and mind OF gospel truths and
precepts. OF those present at either
service not one could fail to see that
the father was proud OF the son and
the son OF the eloquent father.
The text for the morning service was
taken from the S4th Psalm and for
about half an hour the congregation
was treated to one Of those good old
testament sermons which are SO seldom
preached from any pulpit nowadays,
and preached with all the eloquence OF
an experienced and powerful pulpit
orator. One old gentleman afterwards
said OF the sermon: at was oue OF
those good old sermons loved To hear
years ago back home In the old United
PRESBYTERIAN church attended when a
boy with all OF the old-time power adj
herring to IT," The evening text was
taken from Paul's epistle To the Gala
tians aud the sermon was replete with
logical and convincing analyses OF
Gods existence aud power over all
the universe and was delivered with
genuine Pauline vigor and enthusiasm

Musical at High School

An enjoyable musicale arranged by
Miss Purdy, vocal instructor of the
Audubon schools, was given NJ the
High School last Friday morning.
The program consisted OF piano duets
vocal solos by Miss Purdy and q num-
Der of school songs by the high-school
pupils. Miss Dunn and Mrs. Don
Preston played q number OF piano
duets which we're thoroughly enjoyed
and received enthusiastic encores. Miss
Purdy's solos we're also very highly
appreciated.

ANOTHER EXPOSITION

The people Of Boston are seriously
thinking of an Intern ational Expos;-
ton 10 that city in 1920 to celebrate
the tri-centennial OF the Landing OF
the Pilgrims. Steps have already been
taken toward a permanent organiza-
ton to promote the idea and get sym

whole country. Boston would be a
good place for it and eleven years

A yonng lady taking early walk /

"A yonng lady taking early walk in
the mornings for her health says she
saw pretty combat between squirrel
and a robin Tuesday morning. The
squirrel seemed to be on the defensive,
the robin making fierce attack. When
the squirrel would run up tree to get
away the robin would fly up and
pounce upon it in great anger. What
the cause of the trouble was she didn t
have a chance to learn.

knees. Il was heavily braided down the
sides and across the front at the bot
tom, with soutache OF the same color.
The bodice was fashioned with a bo-
lero OF allover soutache braiding in an
intricate scrool design. The Ellinpe
was made of finely tucked net OF pom
gee color with tiny bands OF braiding
around the upper and lower edges OF

FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIEW

A matron who has nothing else to 90
but manage her modest home and make
her husband and herself comfortable told
a group OF women recently that she had
the most extravagant maid IN Christen-
dom. ''And you permit such a wiliful
Waste7" asked another housewife In
amazement at the recital OF the shocking
things that were done in her kitchen
'Of course" was the answer. with
charming shrug OF the shoulders. Il am
not going 10 spend my time in teaching
girl her business; It is too valuable.
The horrined companion OF the woman.
who is pretty and is called clever, turned
TO a woman beside her with this remark:
"She has the best and hardest-working
husband / ever knew He has good
salary, which she Is allowed 10 spend
and waste-as she pleases, and I'll wager
she Is in debt to her pretty ears" She
wag safe IN her wager. for such women

able IN any family and good wages are
paid. sometimes. to men and women to

ance one day. MARY will not be careful
and I viii not stand over her 70 keep
down expenses" NO: that Is hardly
pleasant" ventured her companion. but
why not instruct Mary I'm thrifty ways
and watch expenditures? II will not be
necessary 20 cal her attention 10 the
weekly expenses more than once or
twice. Maids. ike tradesmen, respect
women who refuse TO be cheated"
I know housewives who never know the
contents of their own ice box. although
their income IS so limited that the wages
and board Of one maid are felt. Natural
ly the food waste IS appalling, for when
the mistress IS Indifferent TO her own in
terest you can hardly expect an enploye
to be careful. Nicked dishes are often
passed over without comment when they
might be avoided by a little attention to
the ways Of washing and handling them.
A maid OF mine once told ne that she
would rather be severely punished than

vestigated the matter so thoroughly. I
took the remark as a compliment, be-
cause 1 realized the pains she was taking
TO avoid accidents.
Housekeeping is not easy work, even
with assistance. II woman Is to get the
fun value OF her money. She must do the
marketing and plan for the consumption
Of every scrap Of food. She must see 10

are the most important things in life and
the women who are fortunate enough 20
have them without having TO bear the

willing TO see that the money which runs
them is spent to the best advantage.

amazing fashion; Insignificant sums total
% goodly proportions. Economy would be
a fascinating study il women could be

mean self-denial or sacrifices Of an ap-
preciable nature, but It puts an end to

land Of careless expenditure.
