A Ladies' Valentine Party.

Mesdames Wilson Burnside, Charles
Bagley and Frank Adams gave yalen-
tine party Tuesday afternoon at the
commodious residence of Mrs. Burnside
to about sixty of their lady friends
Refreshments were served at 5 O'Clock,
the guests being seated at small tables
lastly arranged and decorated in the
front and back parlors. Before leaving
the tables a number of the ladies who
were called upon gave entertaining
extemporaneous addresses pertaining to
Saint Valentine and other topics relat-
ing to the day that was being celebrated.
The editor enjoyed an opportunity to
look in before the ladies arrived and see
the rooms and tables arranged and
decorated for the occasion. And now
he finds himself wholly unable to give
an approximate description of the
beauty of the decorations. The rooms
like fairyland with hanging
vines, flying cupids and loving hearts
fiuttering in the breeze. Instead of
place cards there were bright red cupids
having numbers that correspondent to
valentines distributed among the ladies.
The hostesses had taken great pains in
decorating the rooms in a very attractive
manner which ELECTED many expressions
of appreciation from the guests.

Editor Isle In Audubon.

Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. A. Lisle of Cla-
rinda came up Friday to join house
party at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John
A. Nash. Mrs. Isle was well known
in Audubon as Mrs Emma Harris Rus
sell before her marriage to Mr.. Lisle.
Her husband has been editor of the Cla-
rinda Herald during the last twenty six
years and man of prominence in
southwestern Iowa. The editor of the
Republican and Mr. Isle were well ac-
quainted thirty years ago when he was
principal of the High School at Bur
lington and we were superintendent at
Usage and Hampton. We had much
pleasure in renewing our acquaintance,
While Mr.. Lisle still continues as edit
or of his paper he devotes most of his
time to the oversight of manufactur-
ing establishment that has pay roll of
l25 men. He is fortunate in having
three sons who are connected with the
factory and son-in-law to run the
paper. Another son-in-law is editor
of paper at Charlton and the other
one is an attorney. Mr.. and Mrs. Lisle
returned home Monday.

The Rural Examinations.

These examinations will be held Feb.
% and "a. The questions are sent from
the state department. The time of hold
ing examinations is also fixed by the
State. In the State Rules the examina-
tons are expected to be held at Center
School if feasible but the month of
February is very uncertain as regards
weather conditions and we have to ar
range for convience of teachers and
pupils. In the school where examina-
ton is held it will probably be necessary
to dismiss other pupils. To teachers
and parents | would say: Do not un-
duly urge pupils to take this examina-
ton unless you are very confident of
their fitness. 1t is against the best
interest of the pupils, Papers will be
graded by different committees of
teachers. ELLA NJ. STEARNs,

inspiring. Thos who came early
enough to hear the musical program
rendered by Prof. G.. M. earns Sym

the curtain were indeed fortunate. The

Webb Byers Pleased.

Hon. II. w. Byers of Des Moines was
in Atlantic last week ON matters con-
nected with the A. N. & s. Railway.
Before leaving there he spoke to News
reporter as follows:
If You would bring me the nomina-
ton for congress in this district on a
silver salver, without the expenditure
of dollar or an hours time by me, l
would have to refuse it, In other words,
am entirely of out it and nothing can
induce me to get into it. My present
position is the most satisfactory of any
I.have ever had and have no intention
of giving it up" He also stated that
when he went out of the Attorney Gen
erals Office he was better fixed financially
than ever before and with good posi-
ton now he is enjoying life better than

THE MASONIC BANQUET.
Held Last Thursday Night Was A
Delightful Occasion.

One of the most pleasant affairs in the
history of Masonry in Audubon was
the banquet given last Thursday even
ing by the combined degrees to their
members and ladies. The receiving
committee consisting of 4. B. Cousins,
Earl Maharg and others met each guest
at the lodge portals and babe them roy
al good cheer Just before passing to
the banquet hall Miss Mae Mcclure, in
structor of music in the high school
was introduced and sang a couple of Sc
lections to the pleasure of the company.
Miss Martha Dunn accompanied her on
the piano Then all filed into the din
ing room to the first royal banquet in
their enlarged quarters. The daintiness
of the tables and the combined effect of
snow white cloth, silver, china and
glass toned up by carnations, bespoke
plainly that the wives of the commit
tees had had hand in planning and
the feast that followed gave further
evidence. One hundred and thirty were
seated at the tables in the new dining
room. just at the close of the banquet
Mrs. +. 5. Watts arose ndin her grace
full way proposed that all drink with
her, first to the Masons who furnished
the feast, and second to the ladies who
prepared it and the walters who served
it, which was heartily done. Then Mrs.
Emil BilharZ arose and in an apt speech
proposed that all drink to a good trip
to John Weighton, soon to go to his old
home in Scotland. Mr. Weighton though
surprised was able to answer in his aft
able way. Then all adjourned to the
lodge room where good will prevailed
and an improvised choir led in old time
songs in which all Joined. Speeches
followed and Mrs. John Riley of Extra
in her quaint happy way recited a
couple of pieces. Mrs VanGorder and
Mrs. Walker sang duet that took many
back to the days and friends of long
ago. All in all the annual banquet of
the Masonic fraternity was most de-
lightful occasion.

Surprise For Mrs. Thos. Davis.

Mrs. Davis was completely surprised
last Friday evening by the going in of
the members of the Embroidery Club
together with their husbands without
sending any messenger ahead to an
nounce their coming. In the afternoon
Mr.. Davis had come down town to leave
for Rock Island but some one of the men
who were next advised him of the con
templated raid on his home and sug-
gested he would better remain to pro-
tect his family and property. So along
after the train had gone he came sneak
ing in at the back door like boy who
had been kept in after school and said
the train had gone and left him. OF
course he was laughed at and repri-
manded and he had to put up a good
many fiimsy excuses as to how he happen
ed to get left. When the company came
it was Toms time to laugh in which
all of them joined right heartily when
they heard his side of the case. 1t goes
without saying that they had delight
full evening with social pleasures and
delicious refreshments. Before they left
the ladies presented nice salad dish to
Mrs. Davis, and a number of the gen
tlemen with their wives remembered
Mr.. and Mrs. Davis with set of silver
knives and forks. The Davis family
will leave for their future home over in
Illinois about the first of March.

THE SELFISH FARMERS.

WaSninBtOn foSt. ueCiprocity 10
the thing-reciprocity between the
United States and Canada. 1t will
promote free trade. knock down the
cost OF living, increase business, and
incidentally give Johnny Bull hard
knock. Reciprocity is fine word. It
is rotund, mouth filling, and satisfy
ing. 1t is full of the spirit of the
square deal II means that two ma
tons mutually agree to reduce tariff
against each other, so that both may
prosper and grow fat.
Who are the farmers and fishermen
who presume to kick against this ar
rangement? What right, have they
that the nation is bound to respect?
These farmers and fishermen say
Reciprocity is all right II everybody
joins in the concessions and shares
in the benefits. But we are asked to
make all the concessions and give
others all the benefits. Why should
we alone be asked to make these con-
cessions? II the amount were spread
out among all the people we would be
willing to pay our share, but We don't
want to pay 1t all"
Bah! What kind of patriotism is
that? 1t is enough to disgust every
patriotic American manufacturer who
is trying to extend his markets la
Canada, and thus promote the general
welfare after helping himself. 1t is
sickening to congressman who do not
represent farmers or fishermen Here
Is chance to reduce the cost Of Lying.
by importing cheap eggs and bacol
and fish from Canada and the domes-
tic producers promptly Kick is true
that Canada's output of bacor and
eggs would not make a breakfast TO-,
New York City alone, but every littla
bit helps. What is the matter witt
the farmers, anyhow?
Don't the farmers understand that
if there is to he reciprocity somebody
must foot the bill? Haven't the farm
ers had good crops and good prices?
Why can't they agree to free compe-
tition from Canada for a while, for
the sake of the poor ultimate consum-
ers in the cities? There will be bene-
fits, even IL they are indirect. For
instance, the good relations between
the United States and Canada would
be fostered by giving Canada a whack
at the markets of the American FARM
er. Canada would feel better, less
beligerant, less likely to attack the
United States. The two countries are
friendly, OF course. but no ono lno;ss.
when the dogs of war may show their
teeth. Also, let the farmers remem-
Der their forefathers, the farmers of
Concord, who fired the shot heard
around the world. That shot was fired
against England. II the reciprocity
pact will pinch England a little in her
trade with Canada, isn't it worth
while. Just for the sake of the old
grudge?
But what's the use, the farmers of
the United States are just as selfish as
the rest of us, and no appeal to pa
triotism will induce them to stand
the other fellows share of the cost of
reciprocity.

INCREDIBLE AND UNACCOUNT.
ABLE.

OF all the amazing politics the poll
tics of the insurgent leaders in con-
gress is most amazing. What have
we been talking about If 1t has not
been enlarged trade. the duty to take
care of the consumer as we'll as pro-
Queer, competition and the like? This
Canadian trade meets every condi-
ton of intelligent tariff revision. II
revives the reciprocity of Blaine In
the best way. Why are the men who
were so urgent but a few weeks ago
hanging back.
We have certainly come to pretty
pass when "Tama Jim" Wilson says
enlarged commerce will not hurt the
Iowa farmer and yet the Iowa pro-
gressives in congress are throwing
cold water on it.

SUBSIDY FAVORED BY PRESI.
DENTS.

Iowa City Citizen: Senator Young's
vote on the ship subsidy bill offers a
chance to appeal to prejudice equal
to that offered by the Canadian trade
agreement. The progressives in Iowa
are not slow to take 1t up, and hope
to affect the senatorial situation by
it. But 1t might be well to invest
gate the details of this particular bill
before going too strong in criticism
of Young's vote. Every president In
recent years, including Roosevelt and
Taft, has recommended a measure to
revive our merchant marine. Senator
Young, since his trip around the
world, has been an enthusiast for
some plan to get a start in that d.
rection and has preached it in season
and out of season since then. He
could not with consistency do Other
wise than support such a measure
provided it is reasonable in its de-
tails. That 1t matter for examina-
ton and discussion.

The New Stand Pipe.

The lack of water Monday was caused
by changing from the old to the new
standpipe, which has just been COM
pleted. The new one is all composed
of steel except the roof. 1t stands on
legs twelve feet in height and the total
height is about fifty feet. The capacity
is $4,000 gallons, and the cost little
less than $500. Though not guaranteed
to last fifty years it is confidently ex-
pected that it will.
