New York-The stock market has

by the above work compares favorabl,
with that DEVELOPED during the pre-
cedins year and a raise put up near
the shaft at It's present bottom on the
end level has revealed some OF the
best mill rock seen in the mine TO date
and the small amount OF drifting done
on that level shows equally good

AN UNIMPORTANT PLACE WHERE
MY HORSE WAS FRIGHTENED

Yes, that is the place. You go
straight west from the school house,
cross the Rock Island railroad track,
and keep on going west until you
come to the corner, where you turn
south. After this you go south for
two miles, or until you come to a
road running west that has many
shrubs and bushes along the sides.
Take this road.
Having gone up and down one hill,
you will see at the base of the next,
a bunch of scrub oaks.
Now is the time you have to be care
full if you are riding or you will be
lying among the scrub oaks.
Should it be little dark, it will
be still worse, for your horse will see
some queer shapes looming up in only
a few very large logs, standing on end.
That is the place where my horse
was so badly frightened one night. /
whipped him and kicked him, but
could not get him to go by to save my
neck and / had to go several miles
out of my way to get home.

Must Be Developed.

Gen. John A. Hullen, Huston, Texas:
mo one will deny that the founda-
ton of all good government is the
consent of the governed. In every
American community, this principle
is recognized by the people and in
fundamental law. The doctrine is e.
qually we'll established that virtue
cannot be forced upon men by law; it
must be developed in them by reason
and conscience, and Self-restraint is
the only true foundation of temper
ance, and temperance is founded upon
self government. There is nothing
in common between prohibition and
temperance. it is ridiculous to link
them together in any effort to force
futile and damaging law upon a
state. A law imposed upon a nation,
state or community, to which the ma
jority of its people are opposed, has
never been enforced, can never be en-
forced, except by overwhelming force,
and even with that, obedience to law
is general superficial. Under the sur
face there is disobedience, lawless-
ness and revolt against the law"

DIRECTING A FRIEND TO SHARON

So you are going to Sharon, are
you? Do you know the way?
Why no, l don't, but can't you tell
me which way to go?
Well, I'll try. First you go down
to the mill, suppose you know where
that is?
Yes, it is down there by the Rock
Island crossing, Isn't it?
Sure, that is it. From the mill you
go west till you come to the road
going north and south, then turn to
your left and go south mile; that is,
to place where there is farm house
on the corner to your right and a
deep cut in the hill where the road
turns to the west, or your right. Fol-
low this road for mile till you get
to a school house on the corner of
field going up to the road. Turn
to your left here and go mile south
in going this mile you will pass two
farm houses on the right side of the
road while there is none on the left
the last of these houses is the home
of Lawrence Nissen. You know him,
Well his farm is not far from the
corner where you, when you get there,
have to turn to your right and then
go west for two miles. Before you
come to the first section crossing in
these two miles you will pass two
farm houses both on the left side
while on the right there is none, and
you will also go over two bridges, both
wooden ones and after you have pass
ed it, you will see, half a mile down
the road, two farm houses opposite
each other, one on each side of the
road. The one to your left has
large orchard extending way down to
the road from good distance up,
while the one to your right is pro-
tected from the western winds by
several rows of willows. When you
have passed these farm houses there is
one more, and that on the left side OF
the highway, before you reach the
second crossing. Here turn to your
right again and go south a mile over
several large hills, and you will see
the school house to your right at the
next crossing. If you turn your back
to this school house and look east
you can't fail to see Sharon, which
lies few rods off in that direction.

THE WAY TO MY HOME

Since you are coming to visit me, I
will tell you how to reach my home.
l suppose you will come on the Rock
Island railroad and get off at Audubon
When you leave the station, go east,
or up the hill, into the main part
of town, where the street turns be-
cause of the park just ahead. Turn
to the right, or south, and go around
this toward the east and when you
come to the Park Livery Barn, turn
to your left and go north little way
until the first street starts out on
your right side. Follow this up the
hill until you come to the crossroads
where there are two large houses on
each side of the road, and Catholic
church just ahead, turn to your left
and follow the road north about half
a mile or until you come to the place
where it branches off in two ways.

GALLERY OF MASTERPIECES,

In the very near future there is
to be on exhibition in the high school
assembly room, a collection of pic
lures. This exhibit will comprise
forty-eight reproductions of the
worlds famous paintings. These are
not small prints, but large photograv-
ures neatly mounted, which will re-
quire most of the available wall-space
of the room. The collection is secur-
ed through the State Library Commits
sion of Des Moines for period of two
weeks. 1t is hoped that not only
will the students find keen enjoy
ment in a study of these great paint
ings, but that many people of the COM
munity will also evince their inter-
est in Art and inspect the exhibit
More definite information with regard
to time will be given later.

EXTRA

Last Friday, Geo. Kness went to Au-
dubon to meet Messrs. Hans Nielsen
and Thomas Jorgensen to settle up a
land deal made last fall. Mr.. Kness
bought from these latter gentlemen the
100 acre farm in Audubon township
known as the Wagner farm, but few
days after the contract was signed, he
seemed to regret the deal and so he
asked for the return of the contract and
a note for $1,000 which he had given.
This request was refused whereupon
Mr.. Kness employed Atty. Ross of A.u-
dubon and the other gentlemen engaged
Mantz & White. The result was that
Mr.. Kness finally agreed to take the
farm at the price stipulated in the
contract.

HUNTING WILD FLOWERS

Well, to find those wild flowers we
were talking about.
Starting from the front gate of our
house, which is on a hill south west
Of Kimballton, go through the lane,
and down the hill to the rail road
track, follow it a little ways till you
come to tree on the bank of creek,
and after crawling under the fence
you can walk along the banks of the
creek, where the Sweet Williams grow.
On the north, on the side of the hill,
you will find plenty of violets.
Close to where the little creek runs
into the main stream is a good place
to cross it. On the west side of it
are the prettiest wild roses. There
is one rose bush that is two and half
feet high. There are also trees on this
side of the creek. Estehr Jacobson.

THE TREND OF THOUGHT
IN THE AUDUBON HIGH SCHOOL

Then pour in gradually, stirring all
the time, cup full of warm milk.
Break an egg in bowl and beat for
about two minutes, then add it to
the milk and flour.
While you are doing this have six
iron gem pans heating on the stove.
Melt six teaspoonfuls of butter in one
of them and when hot add it to the
mixture.
Beat till very smooth and fill each
painful. Now place in hot oven and
bake for half an hour. When done
they will have risen about an inch and
half above the top of the pans.
Serve at once or they will fall and be-
come heavy. Mabel Weldy.

You will take the right branch and
follow it east about half mile to
the first crossing, and then turn to
your left and go north about five

the road, and very fine farm house
farther on, with a large barn and a
