dealings with his brethren on certain
land deals. At least, these arc the

That Pesky House Fly

The next Mothers Meeting will be
held at the School House on Tuesday
afternoon, April 10, 1910, at Half-past
Three O'Clock. This promises to be one
of the most interesting meetings ever
held at the School House. THE Com
mon House Fly is the subject for dis
cussion. Much time and thought has
been given to the gathering of statistics
and data that will set forth the filthy
habits of the fly and its ability to carry
disease. Two posters will be on exhibit
ton that have been sent from the State
Board of Health at Jacksonville, Florida
These posters teach a lesson in santa
ton that should be needed by every
individual. They must be seen to be
appreciated Miss Mary Davis is chair
man of the program committee, and will
conduct the general discussion. Please
take special notice of the hour and day.
The hour is changed by request to meet
the need of mothers who could not 9th

dent an opportunity to attend this meet
ing and meet an engagement out of the

Both Law And Gospel

The elevated railway company of Chi

gospel to its employees by posting the
following notice in all of its stations in
that big city:
mo employee is allowed to use liquor
in any form when on duty and no en-
ploye will be allowed to work when there
is any indication that he has used liquor
in any form before coming to work, and
the smell of liquor about him will be
sufficient. Employees who are noted as
having used liquor when on or off duty,
or who are known to frequent saloons
when off duty, will be deemed habitual
users of liquor and are subject to dis
missal from the service Employees who
go into saloons when on duty in any ca
pacity will be discharged. "

Obituary OF Mrs. George Cook

Jennie Merwine was born March 81,
1855, in Morrow county, Ohio, and she
departed this life on Saturday April 8,
1910. Her marriage to George G. Cook
occurred December 81, 1872, in Powe-
shielk county, Iowa. To this union We're
born five children, three of whom have
preceded their mother to the land
beyond. For time after their marriage
Mr.. and Mrs. Cook lived in Poweshiek
county, but their home for the past
twenty seven years had been in Audubon
Mrs. Cook united with the Church of
Christ, here in Audubon, during the
ministry of G.. A. Lockhart and remain
ed faithful and consistent member
until the end Her last illness was OF
only thirty minutes duration, passing
away before any medical aid could be
obtained. Her death was sudden, but
not altogether unexpected. She had
been in poor health for more than a
year and q half, and the nature of her
disease was such that death was to be
expected at any time. She herself rec
Ognized this fact and was prepared to
go hence.
Besides the immediate family she
leaves a sister in Nebraska three broth
ers, and great company of friends and
christians to cherish her memory and
mourn their great loss. The funeral
services were held Monday afternoon
from the Christian church and were
conducted by the pastor, Rev. Charles
Vannoy. And the burial took place in
Maple Grove Cemetery at Audubon,
Iowa. ~

Are Making Fine Improvement

One of the finest improvements being
made this spring is a new cement side
walk that is being put down from the
entrance to Maple Grove Cemetery north
to the road running east and west. The
distance is so rods and the work is be-
ing voluntarily done by Messrs Owen
Davis and John Rosenbeck who live on
opposite corners at the north end of the
walk. The expense to these two gentle
men will aggregate about five hundred
dollars. OF course it will add many
dollars to the value of their property,
but Notwithstanding this fact they are
to be congratulated upon having the
public spirit and nerve to make the in
vestment. Mr.. Davis has refused $500
an acre for the five acres just north of
the Henriksen place and facing west on
the street running north. He will sell
when somebody meets his price.

Arbor Day April 70, 1910

The Governor of Iowa in his procla-
nation has named April 80 as Arbor
Day. Both the Governor and the State
Superintendent are urging the observance
of this day in fitting and consistent
manner by the planting of trees, shrub
berry and climbing vines to make the en-
vironment of home, church and school
more beautiful and they especially re-
quest that the public schools stimulate
the sentiment of the day by appropriate
exercises, Installing into the minds of
our youth the benefit derived from the
cultivation of our natural flora and the
retention of our forest groves. And so
l am asking that at least part of the
day be devoted to special exercises of
some kind, such as programs, cleaning
up the grounds, planting trees or some
other appropriate observance of the day.
To those schools who plant trees,
am going to ask you to name one of the
trees for George I. Angel, the man
who has done so much to relieve the
suffering of dumb animals in this coun-
try. Mr.. Angel gave his time and his
fortune for their cause. He became
their good knight and has fought for
them many years, not with his sword
but with his pen and voice, money and
influence. If Mr.. Angel had lived in
England or some other land beyond the
sea, he would most probably have been
Knighted by the king and called Sir
George Angel. But in this country
we give our Knights a Special Day in
the schools and let the pupils Knight
him. would also ask that the teach
ers or pupils send me report of what
they do in their schools on Arbor Day

A Pleasant Auto Ride

Last Sunday morning about nine OF
the clock we accepted an invitation
from Mr. E. N. Taggart to take. a little
auto ride in the fresh morning air. The
day was about as perfect as it could be
made. Though only April Ten, the
lilacs were bursting into bloom and the
foliage looked month earlier than usual
In company with Mr.. and Mrs. Taggart
and F. B. Campbell we made a little
trip down by Hamlin Station and over
east as far as the pleasant country home
of Mr.. and Mrs. George II. Spencer
where we called for half an hour. We
were glad to find their daughter, Miss
Eta Spencer, who had been very ill for
several weeks, quite fairly recovered.
Mr.. Taggart is careful driver who
looks out for the safety of his passen-
gers and also takes good care of his
machine. Stopping by the way in front
of an attractive door yard Mr.. Campbell
snapped his Kodak and made valuable
addition to his collection of country
scenes, including the automobile and
his fellow passengers.

Should Take The Hint

Audubon business men should catch a
hint from the following item in the
Grand Junction Globe: 1.-THE electric
light company has contracted with most
of the business houses on Main street
for 100 watt Tongsteon light to be
placed in front of each business house
on the street These lights are the best
that can be procured and when all are
lighted, as they will be as soon as the
supplies are secured and the lights in
stalled, the street will be as light at
night as day. 1t will certainly be a
great improvement over the present
system of lighting"
