So Decided By The Commercial Club
And Committee Appointed To

The Commercial Club of Audubon
woke up Friday evening long enough to
hold a meeting to resolve in favor of

1911. A committee on general arrange
ments with power to appoint sub-com-
mittees to carry out their plans was APP
pointed and consists of the following
gentlemen: r. c. Spencer, A. III. Roberts,
G. l.. Christensen. r. +. Childs, Ed. f.

ELECTION OF OFFICERS.
The following officers were selected
for the ensuing year: Arthur Farquhar,

MEMORIAL DAY.
Matters pertaining to the observance
of Memorial Day were discussed and
committee appointed consisting of A. III.
Roberts, James Lang and Chas Van
Gorder TO confer with the Grand Army
Post and Womens Relief Corps concern
ing their wishes; and to make the ar
idhSOiiChto uoccoSdiy W piOpcTly re-
member the dead and honor the living
among those who have loyalty given
service to our country.
An invitation was extended to the
Modern Woodmen of the County to
hold their annual log rolling this year
in Audubon.
The question of soliciting contribu-
tions from the business men was dis
cussed by the club, and it seemed to be
the consensus of opinion that it has
come to be a very annoying proposition
and should either be abolished or regu-
lated. Joe II. Ross, f. A. Buthweg
and John Weighton were appointed a
committee to present petition to the
business men to sign an agreement that
no subscription plea shall be recognized
unless it shall have the endorsement of
the Commercial Club.

MT. Davis Favors Humane Clothing
 For PatroImeI

R. T.

Mr. Davis is sure of the CO., operation of the Manufactures Asso- citation. He will talk with the police commissioners and will urge upon them the folly of convention which makes policemen wear hot coats and heavy hats, when the thermometerf is in the neighborhood of hundred

To Prevent Criminals
 By Sterilization

We are rapidly coming to the real houses, asylums and penitentiaries are recruited from the defective class.
 Alienists recognize inherited defects eliminating in insanity, epilepsy and various forms of degeneracy
 Sanger Brown says, in speaking of this predisposition, that the prenom- ena which this condition presents may be readily accounted for by assum- ing a defect or defects in the neu- rons (cell units of which the nervous system is composed of such nature that stimuli from environment may not reach them, or, having done so, the impression made there may not be sufficiently deep and lasting. or, in other words, well elaborated Keep4 ing in mind this condition of neuron- al defects it is easy to understand how certain individuals fail to respond to educational influences, moral or intellectual, or both.
 A defect. differs from disease in respect that a disease is usually cur able, while a defect is permanent. For instance, if a child is born with gon- orrheal opthalmia, it can be cured, but if born imbecile Or hydrocephalic, this cnstitutes a defect, and is us- ually incurable
