Health Contest will be held during the
fair week the last of August and rib.
bons will be awarded August Goth.
This babies health contest was given
tryout at the Iowa State Fair last
year with such splendid success that it
is to be a permanent feature. The su
perintendent, Mrs. Mary Watts, of Au-
dubon, is prominent in good work for
Iowa people.

This is sure to be one of the most
Fair this year. 1t will afford oppor-
tunity for the display of the best crop
Iowa has and will make it impossible
longer to have the charge hurled
against Iowa that it thinks more of its
pigs and calves than it does of its
babies.

OLD SETTLER CALLED HOME
Came to Audubon County in 1884 and
Has Since Been a Continuous Resident.

Maria A. Boughton was born in Sig
Quincy, Keokuk county, Iowa, July
80, 1916, and was united in marriage
to Abraham Needles, October 25th,
1862, at Winterset1 Iowa. In SS4
they moved to Audubon county where
they have resided ever since.
To this union four childrn were
born, Mrs. Stella NJ. Deems, of Mills,
Nebraska; Mrs. B. A. Keith, of Audi
bon; j. H. Needles, OF Sioux City, and
Eta Needles, all of whom survive
their father and mother except Eta,
who departed this life May s, 1889.
Since the death of Mr.. Needles, which
occurred September 4, 1910, the moth
err has been very lonely, and has often
expressed herself that she was ready
to die, notwithstanding, everything
was done by her children to make
her comfortable as possible.
The year 1898 the subject of this
sketch united with the Baptist
church of Audubon, but afterwards
united with the Church of Christ.
About three weeks ago Mother Needles
took sick with bronchitis and few
days later nephritis developed and
she continued to grow worse until
May IA, 1912, when she succumbed,
being 65 years, 10 months and IA days
of age.
At the request of the deceased, fun
eral services will be held at the home
this afternoon at two o'clock, con-
Quoted by the pastor who will speak
words of comfort to the friends and
relatives who gather to pay a tri-
butte of respect to neighbor and a
friend Sister Needles was a very
kind mother and was devoted TO her
home and children and for this they
will always feel that they owe debt
of gratitude which they will never be
able to pay. Mother leaves one son,
two daughters, one granddaughter,
Mrs BertEaton, of Audubon; and three
grand children at Siuox City, Ward,
Floyd and Thelma Needles; also one
great grandson, Halver Eaton, of Au-
dubon, together with many friends to
mourn her loss. But they mourn not
as those who have no hope. Inter-
ment will take place in Maple Grove
cemetery.

AS sit dreaming vision comes before me
A dear sweet face whom long TO see
Who is ever watching over me.
Ny Mother.
l remember now she smoothed my brow,
Drove every care away somehow,
Whom / ne er missed SO much as now.
My Mother.
How gentle and how tender. her loving words
Sweeter by far than songs of birds.
To me the sweetest music ever heard
Ny Mother.
In sickness she tenderly cared for US all
Responding to each one as they call.
Was ever near by when We would fall
Ny Mother.
Oh, Mother. gentle. loving and kind.
Whose dear face now is growing lined.
To my faults her eyes were blind
My Mother,
But soon care and strife she'll lay aside
And with her Lord sweetly abide.
He's waiting on the other side
For Mother.
Her days are few and will soon be Ger
And she'll rest peacefully on the other shore
l hope to meet the one whom adore
My Mother.

Roosevelt Carries California.

From all indications ex-president
Roose. cit has carried the state of
California ut the primary held Tuesday
This will give him % votes in the
II ,,ional convention at Chicago. Mr.
Roosevelt was also the choice of the
voters at the primary in Minnesota held
on Monday. All indications point to a
landslide for Roosevelt.
Champ Clark, of Missouri, the Demo.
cratic candidate seems also to have
shared in the selection of delegates At
the state convention held at Burlington
today, it is quite likely that the Iowa
delegation will be for Clark. A num-
Der of Audubon democrats are in at
tendance.

Pre-Nuptial Afternoon Party.

Miss Ethel Kuhn entertained a dozen
young ladies at pre-nuptial party
at her home last Friday afternoon in
honor of Miss Marie Adams and Miss
Bonnie Sherman. The home was very
beautifully decorated, the color
scheme being purple and white. In
the dining room the center piece was
made of violets, grass and maiden
hair fern, with a border also of ferns.
1t was certainly handsome natural
center piece.
Place cards were in the form of
baskets made of violets and the
twelve guests surrounded so luxur-
iantly with flowers made a most
pleasing spectacle. The afternoon
party was decidedly the social event
of the season.

Sought Shelter in Cyclone Cave.

Mrs. w. J. Laubender, who has just
returned from visit with relatives in
Ponca City, Okla, tells that she was
one of eighteen who sought shelter in
cave when that city was visited by a
cyclone recently. The storm did con-
siderable damage and one woman was
killed. There was great deal of ex-
citement in the country round about
and Mrs. Laubender isn't very solicit
GUS for another experience of this kind.
Her many Audubon friends rejoice in
that she escaped injury.
Mrs. Laubender is not very anxious
to have q cyclone visit Iowa and says
she is quite well satisfied to let the state
of Oklahoma have all it wants.

The Cemetery Fund.

The cemetery fund is slowly grow
ing. Mr.. G w Hoover, the trustee of
the I. o. o. F. lodge, who has charge
of the work, still receives some more
payments for lots. They have been
at work all spring at the cemetery
and the cemetery begins to show
marked improvements but it will
take lots of work and a long time to
put it in the shape that Mr. Hoover
hopes to have it in by the close of
summer. 1t will cost a great deal of
money and every owner of a lot in
the cemetery should contribute the
small amount asked for to accom-
plish this work. The lodge proposes
TO care for the cemetery for $3.50
per lot per season. This is indeed a
small amount. They propose TO take
care of the entire cemetery, not neg
lecting lot whether the owner
pays or not. You surely do not want
the lot where rests the body of your
beloved father, mother, wife, hus-
band, child or some other relative
or dear friend, cared for at the ex-
pense of strangers. If you do not
call or send $3.50 to G. W. Hoover,
your lot will be cared for whether
you pay or not. But will you feel
just right to let some one else bear
the expense of caring for the lot
where rests the body of your loved
one? Think this over and if you
want to contribute your share, send
it to Mr. Hoover. The following is
the list of names of those who have
paid since We last published the list:

ACT FAVORABLY
ON EACH BILL

Washington, March 15.-The Esch
bill, which provides for a tax upon
white phosphorus matches and for
other purposes, has been acted upon
favorably by the house ways and
means committee, but not as yet re-
ported to the house. This bill inn
poses a special tax on manufacturers
Of white phosphorus matches of $1,000
per annum. In addition to this there
is a tax to be levied of / cent per 100
matches on all matches made of white
phosphorus the tax to be paid by the
manufacturer and represented by adj
hesive stamps upon each package.
The bin also provides that after a
certain date white phosphorus
matches manufactured wholly or in
part, in any foreign country shall not
be entitled to entry it any port of the
United States, the importation of
these matches being absolutely pro-
hibited. AS is well known, employees
in match factories where white phos-
phorus is used contract the incurable
disease known as "phossy-jaw," and
the bill aims to discourage the manu-
~facture OF matches with this sub
stance.

LECTURE At LIBRARY

An opportunity for recreation, en-
tertainment and a better knowledge of
one Of the most interesting and pic
turesque countries Of the world is Of
fered to a Fargo audience tonight at
s o'clock in the public library, through
the kindness Of DIR. Max Bait, who
will lecture on The Heart of Switzer-
land. This, Of course includes Lake
Lucerne with the four forest cantons,
particularly emphasizing the william
Tell background, and revealing the
Swiss customs, habits and govern
ment. Through the courtesy of the
Swiss federal railroad, DR.. Bait has
obtained forty colored slides which
will set forth that ever interesting dis
trict of Switzerland.
The most important feature, how
ever, is the purpose for which the
lecture is given-the buying of books
for the children's library. The need
is great for the little ones are plead
ing for more books to read, as their
collection is so small that many have
read all that 1t contains and thus,
naturally, are clamoring for an in
crease in their stock,
Miss Bertha Hagen will play Loves
Dream as an a lditional feature on the
programme.
