McC0y--Kneeland.

With all things just budding forth.
into another bright and glorious spring
time. Two young lives in the spring time
of their youth began as one at Stuart,
Iowa, Wednesday, March 22nd, 1911, at
twelve o'clock when Miss Jessie Ger
trude Kneeland and Mr.. Paul Gordon
Mccoy were very quietly united in the
holy bonds of wed lock. at the parson-
age of the First Congregational Church
Rev. w. A. Briggs the pastor officiating.
Immediately after the ceremony the
bride and groom accompanied by the
brides parents Mr.. and Mrs. j. 5.
Kneeland drove to Linden, Iowa. the
brides former home where an appetizing
wedding dinner was awaiting them
The bride was neatly and attractively
attired in travelling suit of navy blue
with hat and gloves to match, while the
groom wore suit of dark blue. The
bride is a daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. j.
s. Kneeland of Linden, Iowa, but form
erly of Stuart. She is very capable,
accomplished and industrious young
lady and is well fitted to preside over a
home with the one who has chosen her
as a help-mate and life companion. Miss
Kneeland will be greatly missed from
among the teachers of Audubon Co. as
she has been one of the very best and
most successful for the past six years,
haying taught her last three years at
same school, showing how highly she
was priced both as a lady and as an in
structor. Mr.. Mccoy is the eldest son of
Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Mccoy east of
Audubon. He has grown from baby
hood to boy hood and from boy hood to
young man hood among us and is one
of the finest young men having none
but the best of good habits and being
steady Industrious home-loving young
man he will certainly make success of
founding home as he and his chosen
one go forth to battle with the trials
and joys of life. This worthy young
couple begin housekeeping at once on
the groom's farm which he recently
purchased in Guthrie County, where
they will be at home to their friends
That Mr.. and Mrs Mccoy may live
long, happy, useful and successful life,
is the sincere wish of their many friends
who congratulate them. x##

tinctly that it would depend upon others

o request from Atlantic people, the
Rock Island railroad officials have con-
cluded to add to its service on the Au.
dubon branch distinct passenger train
service Passenger agent Cline. who
accompanied the Ben Hur train from
Des Moines to Omaha yesterday, gave
the above information to the News and
1t is reliable in every way, the passeng-
er train will leave Atlantic in the morn
ing at $50 and will be back here in time
to make connections with the east and
west bound trains ON the main line of
the Rock Island.
Whether the new train will go on be.
fore the new time card comes out is not
known and whether the Crossword branch
will be given an extra passenger train
is not known. The editor of this paper
was appointed to take up the matter of
train service on the Audubon branch
with the Rock Island peopleand is pleas
ed to be able to announce this outcome
of the effort made by him and in which
the people on the Audubon branch were
already interested.

Need OF Cooks.

A German advocate of women rights
suggests that compulsory military SER
vice on the part of the men should be
offset by compulsory domestic service
for women. If drill and barrack life is
beneficial to men, she asks why life in
the kitchen should not similarly elevate
the women. The New York World re-
marks that if Germany ever organizes
standing army of cooks it may force all
Europe to follow its lead.
Culinary CONSUMPTION is severe
measure, but when enforced in Germany
other nations might be expected to adopt
it. There would be more reason in doing
so than in following Germany's lead in
militarism. There is more real need of
cooks the world over than of soldiers.

This is the time when you hear so

one was up to hear Mr.. King at Audu-

drag, has done us lots of good on our
public roads. But there is one thing
that must be done first, that is to have
the road drained and rounded up |
When that is done the King drag will |
do the rest. made one of the drags |
for my own use, nine or ten years ago |
and have it yet. And agree with Mr.. |
King that a man must stand up on the |
drag to do the best work with it. Let |
US boost for better roads.

A bill has passed the House in Des
Moines requiring that the teachers must
pass examination in Agriculture and
Home Economics. Many of the country
schools are taught by young girls from
town. just think of the notion of send
them out to teach the country boys and
girls about growing corn and baking
beans. 1t is very difficult now to get

THE AUDUBON CANNlNG COMPANY
VIII Build An Addition To The Plant
And Make Other improvements.

Chas. VanGorder and r. j.. Loveland,
proprietors of the canning factory in
Audubon have purchased the south half
of the street adjoining their factory
and vacated by the city and will make
considerable improvements this spring.
This does not close the street completely
as there will be forty foot space left
between the new storeroom and the
main building for street purposes. Upon
the newly purchased land they will
erect a two-story brick warehouse 40x
100 as soon as the) material arrives,
Tramp Bros. will furnish the brick and
blocks made of clay and shale mixed
the first floor to be used for storing
canned goods and the second floor for
storing empty cans and box lumber.
This building will have cement floor
and elevator. The east end of the pre-
sent building will be changed to three
story building instead of one and one
half story which it is. The cutting
department will occupy the third story
while the silking and mixing will be
done in the second story and the main
floor will be used for all general pur-
poses. They have purchased consider
able new and improved machinery and
with the new arrangement and ad-
ditional machinery will be enabled to
handle the output more rapidly and
easily. The company laid out about
$4,000, last year for improvements and
this year will spend considerably more.
Last year it took great deal of the
company's time to get their acreage,
but this year it was procured without
any soliciting on the part of the COM
pany At the present writing the
lacks about fifty acres of their
full requirements and this without
doubt will be subscribed within few
days. Sweet corn has proven far more
to the farmer than field |
corn, and as an additional incentive
10 their planting it the sweet corn fod-
der has turned out to be valuable as
vet. The canning factory is great
benefit to Audubon in that it pays out
thousands of dollars in wages for labor
Turing the canning season. They intend
IN the near future to extend themselves
md can many different edibles. The
Audubon Canning Co. have gone to
arge expense and we wish them the
success they deserve and more too.

Remarkable Postal Changes.

To-day we send letter to any point
in the United States for two cents. But
it was not always thus. In 1929, the
year the parents of this editor were
married, to send letter forty miles or
less cost IL cents; to send one from
Pittsburg to CINCINNATI cost 25 cents;
to send one across the state of Pennsyl.
vania cost 37i cents; and laboring
man then received only fifty cents a
day for his work. just think of work
ing at hard labor for three fourths of q
day to pay the postage on letter
across the state of Iowa from Daven-
port to Council Bluffs.

FATHER NUdENT's LECTURE.
Delivered At Woodman Hall Tuesday
Night Was Instructive And
Entertaining.

Father Nugent lectured in Audubon
Tuesday night. He entertained and in
structed large audience. Many pleas
ing addresses leave nothing over. Not
so with that given by Father Nugent.
Much was left over and carried home by
his audience. Many will think of nature
as they never have thought before. They
will understand it better. They will
appreciate it more. They will have
greater reverence for the Creator and
higher ideals concerning his works. He
said in the beginning that no one could
paint life size picture of God, and
were it painted there would be nowhere
large enough to give it place. He spoke
of the great work shop of God and the
wonderful works he has made. He re-
ferred to the wonderful prodigality and
the infinite originality shown in his
handiwork. The speaker dwelt upon the
beautiful world about us, the animal
kingdom and vegetable life, telling
how the Almighty had created nothing
for which there was no use nor purpose.
That everything from the smallest in
sect up to man had some place to fill
some mission to perform. The rains and
the floods and the storms which often
do much damage are necessary In a
sanitary way to carry off the debris and
purify the air. There is decay and death
all about us and millisns of scaveugers
are needed to dispose of dead matter
and save mankind from its filth and
poison. In brief notice we can give
but faint idea of the scope and breadth
of his study of God in nature and his
love and kindness to the children of
men. Father Nugent lives in Des Moines
where he has been pastor of the Catho-
lie Church near the Capitol in East
Des Moines. He is a giant physically, a
strong man intellectually and a fine
speaker from the public platform. We'd
nesday morning he visited the High
bon will pc pleased to have him return
and lecture again.
