Now Ready For Bumper Crops.

The splendid rain yesterday following
so closely upon the statewide primary
should make people of all political
parties extremely happy. We have the
first republican to hear complain of the
result. Republicans are not caring so
much about fighting among themselves
this year, especially here in Iowa.
Audubon county Republicans are
getting in fine trim for a grand and
glorious victory in November. Begins
to look as though the entire ticket was
going to be winner regardless of what
may take placein Chicago. The Repub-
lican predicted that Kenyon and Clark
would carry Audubon county. This
prediction was fully realized. Later on
we are going to make prediction that
will be equally as pleasing to the Re.
publicans of the county. In the mean
time lets all get ready for the bumper
crops that Audubon county will produce.

Ready For Chicago Convention.

All roads led to Chicago Wednesday
so far as members of the republican
national committee were concerned.
Before night majority of the com.
mitteemen, as we'll as the leaders who
went to look after the interests of par.
ticular candidates for the presidential
nomination had arrived in readiness for
the formal organization of the commit
tee, which is scheduled to be taken up
today. On Friday the committee is ex-
pected to be prepared to begin consider
alton of contests.

"A CHILD SHALL LEAD THEM"
Iowa's Forward Movement to Conserve the
Health Of Babes and Children.

One of the interesting features of the
Iowa exhibit at the 18th International
Congress on Hygiene and Demography.
to be held at Washington, d. c., Sept.
23rd to 2Sth, will be an exhibit on the
baby health contest inaugurated by the
Iowa Federation of Women's Clubs at
the State Fair in 1911. This unique
health contest was so popular last year
that the state fair management has this
year made it one of the regular depart
ments and has offered premiums to the
amount of S2S000 Already plans are
being elaborated by the superintendent
to make the contest this year much
greater in score and Importance
The Iowa Commission has assurance
from the officials in charge of the baby
health contest that charts and models
will be prepared as a part OF the Com
missions exhibit to the Congress at
Washington. 1t is significant of Iowa 5
campaign against tuberculosis and pre-
ventable diseases in general that study
should be made of those forces which
are either conductive to or destructive
of the health of infants and children
and also illustrates the great interest
Iowa people are taking in the Inter
national Conservation Congress on
Health Mayors are appointing dele
gates, while Commercial clubs are lend
ing encouragement and cooperation.
The people are coming to understand
that it is a, rational thing to conserve
the public heath.

Former Audubonite Robbed.

Burglars raided the drug and jew
elry store conducted by w. NJ. Gun
ningham at Westfield on Friday and
secured fifteen hundred dollars worth
of jewelry. Entrance was effected to
the building by prying open a door in
the rear end of the store The burglars
took a quantity of watches, bracelets,
lockets. siiverware and other articles
and made pretty clean sweep of the
stock.
Sheriff Arendt has been notified of
the robbery and Deputy Sheriff Gearke
went over to Westfield to gather infor.
nation and if possible obtain clue.
1t is point of argument among resi-
dents of Westfeld as to whether the
job was done by cracksmen or local
yeggs. lie Mars Sentinel

Senator Young in Audubon.

Senator LATE Young was in Audubon
early Friday morning, and talked to a
number of our. people from the band
stand in the park. Mr.. Young has a
very pleasing way of meeting the people.
He is a splendid talker and an excellent
entertainer He has great many adj
miring friends in Audubon county and
from the vote he received in the county
at the primary election Monday they
admired him to the extent that they
preferred to keep him in Iowa descending
him to Washington. We need LATE
Young in Iowa to boost for better roads
and to give the people good wholesome
news.

KENYON AND CLARK WINNERS
Primary Monday Brought Out Light Vote
But Results are Very Conclusive.

The statewide primary Monday re-
vealed some great surprises when the
vote was counted. On practically full
and complete returns in the state w.
). Kenyon is nominated for United
States Senator over LATE Young by a
majority that will reach 80, 000 Clarke
is also winner over Holden and Proud
foot for Governor by majority that
will reach 5000. Allcongressmen have
been renominated in the eleven districts
In the sixth district where Congressman
Kendall was supposed to have had
strong opposition, Kendall was renomin-
ated by a larger vote than at any pre-
vious time. The Democratic vote over
the state was exceedingly light.
Audubon county contributed its share
to the landslide. Kenyon carries Audi.
bon county by majority of almost 300,
and Clarke for Governor also carries
the county by about 100.
The closest race was that for Repre-
sentative where o. H Jacobsen and G..

nation. Jacobsen is renominated by a
majority of A. Butterton wins over
Petersen for Recorder by majority
of no.

l.. E. Simpson has sold the city tele-
phone exchange, together with the toll
lines and rural lines to the Bell people.
The deal also includes the exchange at

possession TO the new owner The Bell
people expect to make number of i'm

larger force to give the subscribers still
better service. The manager for the
office here has not been decided upon.
Mr.. Simpson will remain in Audubon

To School Directors.

The law requires that between the
first and fifteenth of June you make
a list of school children and heads
of families and by the twentieth file
same with secretary of school town
ship. If you do not wish to send your
census book to. the secretary, there is
a blank in your book of blanks sent
you that you can use for that pur-
pose. Please do not neglect to at
tend to this as a slight neglect down
the line causes serious trouble for
those who have extended reports to
make. ELLA M. STEARNS,

Getting Ready For Conventions.

Now that the statewide primary has
been held and both Republican and
Democratic state tickets have been
nominated, political attention is first
turned to the county conventions soon
to be held, made up of delegates chosen
at the primary. These county conven.
lions will select the delegates to the
second state convention Republican, to
be held in Des Moines, July 10, and the
second state convention (DemOcratic) to
be held in Cedar Rapids, July 20. The
State conventions have two important
duties to perform:
The nomination of two judges for the
supreme court of Iowa.
The selection of members of the state
central committee.
Accordingly every county convention
in the state will be one, frought with
] double interest. To date there are eight
republican candidates in the field for
nomination to the two supreme court
positions In the organization of the
state central committee, it is under
stood here in both parties every effort
will be made to have them organized so
as to be in harmony with whatever
national candidates may be named at
the National conventions. Leading
republicans especially feel this is neces-
sary to keep up the republican majority
in Iowa by preserving harmony.
AS there are two republican nomina-
lions to be made for Supreme court
judge, republican leaders, are not reti-
cent at all about admitting that probably
one of the most probable nominees will
be F. F. Dawley of Cedar Rapids. The
legal fraternity of Cedar Rapids and the
Fifth district is practically solid behind
his candidacy and are planning toinsist
on his being one of the nominees. The
other candidates are John Sherwin OF
Mason City, Emlin Mclean OF Iowa
City, F. II. Gaynor of LeMars, Judge
Ransier of Clinton and Judge w. n.
Treichler of Tipton.

CONTRACT GRADE
 IF WHEAT SMALL
Wheat Displays Stubborn ness, Closing Firm 1-Sc
 Off to 1-4c Up

Chicago. Sepetmber 17.-Wheat flu lures showed stubborness today be- cause the actual supply on contract grade here Is limited, although the prospective amount is enormous. The market closed firm, varying from Bc off to hdAc up. Corn finished the same as last night to 1 isc advance, oats at gain of shade to 1s Co 34 V and provisions from unchanged to 1Oc up.
 Option trading in wheat failed to reflect further the threatening size Of the oncoming crop. On the other hand, spot dealings were demoralized, the pressure in all grades below contract being heavier than could be withstood, Buyers find 1t hard to sell even at greatly reduced prices. Primary re- ceipts were on a huge scale. At Du- luth alone more carloads arrived than at all other centers the corresponding day year ago.
 A big increase in the worlds avail able supply of wheat had temporary bearish effect, but prices rallied when attention turned to the immediate pe- culiarities of the local supply and de- mand position. December fluctuated be- tween 90%c and 9oIs @91c with last sales 907sc, a net gain of shade.
 By 2fs to 192 the board of trade today voted to make velvet chaff wheat contract grade. beginning July l. 1913
 For a while the appearance Of predicted frost depressed corn. The market, however, gradually hardened on account of renewal of the frost fore cast and because of wet weather in- terfering with shipments. December swung from 51 ssc to 51is @ 51 Ac. clos Ing nrm, ls M Ac net higher at b2 1s d 52Ae Cash grades were In good de- mand. No. ? yellow was quoted at 70 @71c
