The Biz Loaf

Nels Hansen was the winner of
the IA pound and ounce loaf of
bread that was offered last week to
the person who could come the
neare st to guessing it's weight, by
the John Nielsen hardware store.
The correct weight was guessed by
four of the contestants who agreed
to abide by pulling straws for the
three prizes and Nels Hansen got
third prize. the loaf of bread. Now
all that knows Nels say that he is
the most entitled to it of the four.
because, first, his appearance de-
notes that little more bread will
Prolong his days, give him the
lustre that he lacks, little more
ambition, stamina, vigor, backbone,
power of endurance, tone, make him
more courteous. affable, genial,
dignified and pompus. Bread will
do all this tor Nels, and more.

STAG PARTY
Will Be Given at the Nels Hansen
Home Friday Night.
Many Invited

There will be select party of stays
at the Nels Hansen home, Friday
night. Nels came to this country
twenty-five years ago aud for eighteen
years he has been in the drug business.
Last week came the crowning result
OF years of patient toll and now to
show his appreciation of such good
fortune he invites to his festive board,
his friends to consume the dainties he
is able to provide for their entertain
ment. They are as follows: cases
of-ah Sea foam, jug apolaparis water
2 hams, hunk ofside meat, Is pounds
butter cases condensed milk and l
loaf bread weighing IA pounds and 2
ounces. This loaf is the visible sub
stance of Nels' good luck, for with
great mental agitation Nels guessed at
its weight, the premium tor the
nearest guess to its actual weight
being the loaf itself. Nels toted home
the staff of life.

WEDDING BELLS
Mr.. Chris Kirk and Miss Anna Aa-
gard Were United in Marriage
Tuesday, March 10Th

A very pretty wedding was solemn
iZed at the Danish Luthern Church
here last Tuesday March Goth, when
Mr.. Chris Kirk aud Miss Anna
Aagaard of Hamlin were pronounced
husband and wife.
The young people were accompanied d
by their nearest relatives and few
personal friends. On account of the
bad roads the wedding party came
down on the noon train where they
were met by their pastor, Rev. j. P.
Christensen. The preparations for
the ceremony were all made at the
home Of Mr., and Mrs. Hans Petersen,
after which they filed into the church
and to the altar where the words
were said that made them as one.
The wedding party departed on the
afternoon train for Hamlin, where
q big reception was held at the home
of the brides parents.
The good wishes for their SUCCESS in
life is the Journals contribution.

LINCOLN TOWNSHIP
A Township Tax Of Three Thousand
Dollars Voted to Build A New
Scho0lhOuSe at Lincoln Center

At the annual meeting in Lincoln
township last week, they voted a tax of
$3OoO.to build new schoolhouse at the
Center.
A modern schoolhouse will no doubt
be built there, and furnished up to date
with the necessary seating and equip
ment, which will be credit to the
township. The old house has outlived
its usefulness. 1t was built about the
year 1876 and has been the Township
Court House ever since. Here, the
youngsters are taught their A. B. C's.
The spelling school, the church, the
township board of directors, the board
of trustees, the District and Township
County, State and National elections
are all carried on within the walls of
Center Schoolhouse. OF course, all
other doings aside from the old time
elections when Jack Whipple, Wild
Bill johnson and Ben Brookfield used
to run the township are tame affairs
in comparison; but that was before
the Australian Ballot System was
initiated into general use.

JOHN BUIIERToN
The First Candidate to Announce
Himself Of Either Party For Politi-
cal Support at Primary Election

The candidacy of Mr.. John Butter
ton of Leroy township for Count
Recorder is one that will meet the
approval of the Republican voters Of
Audubon County. John came to this
county with his parents when years
old, or in the spring Of 1879 and with
the exception of four years, he has
lived continually on the old home
place. The four years he was off the
farm, he was In business in Audubon
with Jake Ruhs. This makes the
time he has lived in the county just 33
years. He is now man of 40 years
ripe in judgment, and offers the beat
part OF his life to his party. His tran.
sActions with his fellowman, whether
as farmer or a merchant, is, as an
open book, honest and straight for
ward. He enters the race with malice
toward none, trusting that his case
will be faverably considered by the
party OF his chpice at the primary
electi IN in June.

DRUG STORE FIRE
The Old Cloughly Drug Store Burned
Down. Occupied as Booster Cafe
by Hamilton and Horning

The old Bill Cloughly building in
Audubon has gone up in smoke and it
makes ones heart sick to see its ashes,
when we remember its origin. and it's
uses and its abuses.
The building was erected by the
Cloughly Brothers, DR.. j. F. Cloughly
and Billy Cloughly, in the year of 1879.
The boys were young and full of energy
and Docs services were greatly in
demand. The old building became too
small in which to transact the growing
trade and practice SO they built the
corner brick store building where, after
o short season of prosperity "Little
Doc" died. William eventually sold,
and again opened up the old building
as drug store where he obtained the
nucleus to his fortune. The old Clough.
ly drug store will be remembered by
many pro and con. When burned it
was the property of Mr.. Bert Keith but
occupied by Hamilton and Horning a.

Editor Hoogenakker

We acknowledge very pleasant
call from Editor Hoogenakker of
the Audubon Republicanlast Satur-
day. Mr.. Hoogenakker has trans
formed the Republican so that it is
hardly recognizable as to shape and
size and when it comes to the read
ing matter it ia the Cream of Wheat,
less the colored man. Surely, no
one can complain at the quality of
the matter it contains, and al,ho'
strict republican in politics, it's
partisan utterances are 80 tempered
with kind comparisons, that makes
it convincing; which makes a
fellow feel that the more he reads of
it the oftener he wants it to come.

LENA IS INDIGNANT
Gives the Journal A Piece Of Her
Mind about Our Arrangement for
Her Husbands Services

Itseems that "The Audubon County
Farmer whom we recently secured at
high figure as Journal correspon-
dent is having troubles of his own.
His wife, Lena, was considerably put
out about our contract with him, and
the Journal has got piece of her mind
about it. She seems to be lady of
pretty firm opinions and it is hard to
tell whether she or Joshua will come
out ahead. The letter received from
her this week is as follows
Editor Of Journal,
Dear Sir:-I suppose ought to keep
quiet and let things take their course,
but can't help telling you what I
think about your deal with Joshua last
week.
don't approve of it at all, and
want this understood right at the be-
ginning. When Joshua is held in
proper restraint, he is all right But
when he is allowed to carry out his
jokes without interference, as you
might say, he never has had any sense
about when to quit, and that is all
there is to it. And you just mark what
tell you, he will be making first
class monkey out of you within three
weeks You just wait and see, and
when it happens, remember, warned
you.
Besides he has got SO swelled up
already over his $4,000 job with the
Journal that there is no living with
him. He thinks he is about the smart
test thing ever, or you wouldn't give
him as much as Roosevelt got And
he goes around with grin on his face
and chuckling to himself, and forgets
to do half his chores. Sooner or later
it is going to make trouble between us,
and want you to call it off at once.
| If you don't will have to take hand
myself, and if do, I'll give him some.
thing to think about besides nonsense
for the Journal. So there!
Hoping you may be able to get him
headed off before it is everlastingly toe
late, l reman,
Faithfully Yours,
/ LENA

LAST FRIEND GONE
Lone Defender Of hePeople's Interests
Driven from Washington BY the
P0iS0nerS and Their HirelingS

Two weeks ago the Journal noted the
fact that the Pure Food Law was being
gradually nullified and made inopera-
tive through subtle and perfidious plot
ting on the part of the poisoners who
seem to control the INSTRUMENTATION
that aforesaid poisoners were "on the
traiP' Of DIR. Wiley, who was battling
single-handed for the peoples interests
in the enforcement of this law; and
that sooner or later they would get
him just as the spoilers and grabbers
had got Garfield and Pinchot.
Within week, DR.. Wiley had given
up the struggle and resigned.
With Pinchot went CONSERVATION.
1t has since been administered as the
grabbers and spoilers want it admin
istered.
With DR.. Wiley goes the PURE FooD
Law. 1t will now be administered as
the poisoners want it administered.
McCabe, who appears to be their spy
and tool, is now supreme in that de-
partment.
Y, for someone to look out for us in
the high places where we can't look
out for ourselves, and where political
prestige is accepted in even exchange
for the privilege of numbering the
American people by deadly drugs, and
robbing them of their heritage!

The Audubon County Farmer was in
Extra again Saturday to shake hands
with all those who read about him in
last weeks paper While in town 1
met lot of my farmer friends west of
the postoffice and told them about the
new breed of cattle expect to get from
Florida. If get them will drive the
herd through Audubon County and
give every reader of this paper sample
of the milk.
Now don take me too seriously. but
anyway, these cows are wonders accor-
ding TO the directions that go with
them. Each cow has pedigree as long
as bed quilt and as wide as kitchen
apron, but don't figure on the pedi-
gree giving much milk so it's the COW
Pm after. I'll give my friends in
Audubon County little description of
them and perhaps we can order a car
load together. In the first place these
COWS are what you call slanting milk
ers; they are built just the reverse of
other cows. You know that the hind
legs of our COWS are longer than the
font legs, making them a little higher
at the tail end than at the beginning.
Well, it's different with those I'm
going to get. This breed has the hind
legs In front and the front legs behind,
and has head where other COWS have
tail and tail where other COWS have
head; so you see the whole thing is
turned around. This makes COW. a
little higher at the front end than at
the back end and allows the milk to
flow down hill to the reservoir without
any effort on the part of the COW. This
will make milking easy as rolling off a
sofa. You know that cows generally
close their eyes and snooze when you
milk them and forget all about their
business of pushing the milk along,
thus making you pull SO much harder
to make up for the cows neglect to
push. Well, with these new COWS
that are built on the slope the milk
runs down hill by the natural force of
gravity brought about by this re ar.
rangement of the running gear, and
any child can do the milking, no mat
ter whether the COW is awake or wheth.

Moved to Near Adair

Mr.. Jacob Carstens, who for many
years lived about eight miles from

about the same distance from

he was two and half miles from

for his children to travel to and
from school. Now he is located
only one half mile and his smaller

$500, Money in Safe Hands

County Treasurer Howard E. Kittell
informed us last Saturday that Friday,
March %, 1912 was a record breaker in
regard to the collection of taxes in

when handled by Mr.. kittell and his
pleasing deputy, Mr.. Raebel.
