LIFE VS.. ART

LII NS. AK
A conscientious young Boston
mother, who tries to bring up her
children in the modern manner,
decided she ought to take them
to the art museum. So she took
John, aged 6, and Anne, aged 4,
and spent an afternoon among
the pictures and statues.
When the children arrived in
the room given up to ancient
statuary, the little boy seemed
much impressed. He walked
carefully around the figures, eye
ing them from all angles, but say
ing nothing. His mother made
no comment, leaving him to form
his own opinions.
The next morning when John
was taking a bath, little Anne in
all innocence pushed open the
bathroom door.
'Here, you Ann shouted
John. Keep out of here! Don't
you know this is no art museum"

The Lid is on at Guthrie Center.

Zee cream sodas and cigars on Sundays
are thing of the past in Guthrie Gen.
ter if officers Of the law succeed in en-
forcing an ordinance of the city, under
violation of which complaint has been
filed and information sworn out against
drug stose owners, lunch counter and
soda fountain men who have been keep
ing their establishments open for part
of the day on Sundays. 1t will even be
impossible to procure Sunday papers if
the complainants succeed in maintaining
their contentious.
The whole matter was started several
weeks ago when an attempt was made
to forbid Sunday baseball in the city.
Sides were taken by residents of the city
to see how far the 'blue law, as the or
dinance has been termed should be en-
forced. The city marshall on Saturday
served notice on all those operating soda
fountains, cigar stands and drug stores
which have been opened on Sunday, that
they must desist or make themselves
subject to prosecution. 1t is reported
that they have even gone so far as to
compel the dairy men to refrain from
making deliveries on Sunday.

Complimentary Words For Audubon.

The Southwest Gurthrie correspon-
dent to the Guthrie Center Times of
last week contributed the following
complimentary remarks concerning
Audubon and the Old Settlers Picnic:
Last Saturday we went to Audubon
to attend the Old Settlers picnic and
to have general good time with
friends and old neighbors. A large
crowd was out and we had royal
good time. There was nothing half
way or half hearted about the affair.
The good people of Audubon gave us,
one and ALL hearty welcome which
was fully appreciated by each and
everyone of US. For our entertainment
there was good music, good speakir &
and amusement for all. Judge w. R.
Green gave US an entertaining speech.
AS all know the genial judge is our
representative of this the Ninth Con-
gressional district. Congressman Green
is pleasing talker. The orator of the
day was Hon. Dan Hamilton, democra-
tic candidate for senator to succeed
Kenyon. Editor Hoogenakker of the
Republican introduced the speaker and
told us that we were going to be given
rare treat and we were, Mr.. Hamil-
ton is an orator and a thinker and
possesses the happy faculty of holding
his audience, not only with fine flow
of language but with the truths he
wishes to present. Heand Judge Green
spoke somewhat along political lines
but not in partisan sense. 1t was
good to be there. We are glad we
went and hope to attend many more
such gatherings"

New City Well Tested.

The pumping apparatus to test the
new we'll that is being drilled for the city
arrived the other day and the test ap-
piled. 1t proved unsatisfactory as the
flow of water only averaged about
thirty gallons per minute. The city
officials thought the test was incomplete
and insisted that the pipe for testing
the well be extended sixty feet further
down. Everything is at standstill
until this pipe is received.
1t begins to look as though there was
a fair supply of water but not sufficient
to meet the demands that will be made
for city water. The city officials will
insist that the drilling be continued
until the water supply is sufficient. We
sincerely hope they will be successful
for if this we'll should fail it would
leave the town in bad condition. This
experiment Is costing the town of Au-
dubon thousands of dollars and if we
have nothing to show for the money
but deep hole in the ground it win
not leave a very good taste in the
mouths of the tax payers.

additional returns.

Green's Statement is Specific.

E. p Chase of the Atlantic News
Telegraph is not satisfied with the
statement Congressman Green issued
last week. No one expected that a
statement from Mr.. Greens no matter
what it contained, would please the
editor of the News, Telegraph That
newspaper fought Mr.. Green's candi-
dacy very bitterly last year. The News
Telegraph editors opposition to Mr..
Green seemed to make the voters of
Cass county all the more determined
to support him and he carried the county
by a handsome majority, Mr.. Chase
ought to know that when a man issues
a statement that says he will support
the whole ticket nominated at the pri-
mary" that it includes the presidential
electors as we'll as any other man on
the ticket. Mr.. Chase certainly knows
that we vote for the electors instead of
voting directly for the candidate for
President That being true, Mr.. Chase.

The Bull Moose Convention.

The Marshalltown T-R voices the
sentiment of thousands of voters in the
following:
The bull moosers at Des Moines
over the protests and warnings of the
most thoughtful and capable of the
delegates assembled put over the plan
for state ticket. That means that
the nominees of the Iowa primary are
to be repudiated by those who assisted
to nominate them if the rank and file of
the Roosevelt sentiment in this state
are to submit to the dictum of the con-
vention at Des Moines. Sc
In this convention which repudiates
the Iowa, primary Governor Carroll vas
criticized and denounced for his oppei-
ton to the primary.
Mr.. Mccormick, prominent among
Mr.. Roosevelt's western aides and
managers, insisted on the third ticket.
His insistence and the insistence of
others who knew as little and seem to
care as little about the Iowa situation
carried the day over the sober Judgment
of wiser men.
1t is now up to Iowa progressives to
take their choice between the men they
nominated as progressives and the can
didates forced upon the rank and file
of the bull moose party by those anxious
to become candidates, those hungry for
leadership which they have failed Ito
land in other parties, the extreme radi-
calists, and the urgency of orders from
outside.
The chances are that instead of crys-
tallizing the new party the action of
the convention has given it serious
check. The general conclusion of pro-
gressives will be that its action was a
blow to progressivism in Iowa instead
of boost. Progressive republicans
who fought to establish state primary
are not likely to repudiate honest pri-
mary nominations.

Have Returned From Visit to Denmark.

Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Rasmussen have
returned to Audubon after a four
months visit with relatives in various
parts of Denmark. This was their first
visit to their native land after having
been In America thirty-two years.
They had most enjoyable time but are
glad to get back to their good old
friends in Audubon. They were present
at the dedicatory ceremonies of the
large public park that the Danish
American people gave to the King on
Aug. 5th. This park comprises 100 acres
and is to be used as public gathering
place These ceremonies will be made
a yearly affair and from all indications
it will prove to be very popular. AT
this first meeting 1900 Danish-Ameri-
can people were present.
Mr. and Mrs. Rasmussen brought
back with them, their nephew, Hans
Peter Jensen, who expects to make
America his home.

Young Boy Badly Injured.

Saturday morning while at work in
the canning factory, George Roth, the
IL year old son of Mrs. Joe Roth, had
the misfortune to have the first joint of
his index finger and the two joints of
the second finger of his left hand taken
off. 1t seems that he was working
around the elevator when the chain
failed to work. Mr.. VanGorder and
the boy looked for the cause of the
trouble. The boy thought he saw what
was wrong and while trying to replace
the chain his fingers were caught, caus-
ing the injury as above stated. 1t is
too bad for the little fellow. He is of a
very industrious term of mind and al
ways willing to work for the benefit of

A year ago last August, the Sunday
School Board of the NJ. E. church de.
cided on a trip to Jerusalem, as slim
illus to good attendance, study of the
lesson and giving to the support of the
church. The success of the plan was
marked from the very 6rst. Glasses
grew in numbers and in strength. in
regularity and in giving.
After the Sunday School had made
its long journey, the Board decided to
have them return, but with an added
incentive. The classes were divided
into two sections. The section return
ing home with its ships last waste treat
the entire school. The return trip was
successfully made couple of weeks
ago and the two fleets came in so near
together that it was decided the whole
school should participate.
Supt. A. H. Roberts offered his spa.
cious lawn to the Sunday school as a
meeting place, which was accepted and
the time for the picnic set for last Fri.
day evening. The committee on provi.
sions planned we'll and the parents re.
sponded willingly. The small boy
ate until he could hold no more and
then for fear he had not eaten enough
he ate some more. He was ably assisted
by the girls, who proved to be as good
eaters as the boys. There was chicken,
and more chicken, salads, bread, pickles
cake and ice cream in abundance, The
youth and the aged too, ate and were
merry. All played games and helped
in some way to make the picnic sue
cess. BY common consent it was voted
one of the most successful picnics ever
held by the Sunday school,

Democrats Given Severe Jolt.

The Maine election is likely to cost
the democrats their expected control of
the United States senate. The apparent
defeat of Senator Gardner makes demo
cratic efforts to capture the senate
doubtful. The senate situation is close.
AS it stands, the democrats would have
to gain four to control. With loss of the
Maine legislature, they must have FIVE.
This wills be difficult. The Maine
election is therefore a hard blow al
democratic hope of dominating the next
congress completely.
