The New Folding Machine.

The Republican has just installed one
OF the most up-to-date folding machines
that is on the market. The machine
was purchased from the Omaha Fold
ing Machine Co., and was put in opera
ton yesterday in order to allow this is
sue to be folded by machinery instead
of by hand. 1t is very fine piece OF
machinery and does the work calculated
for busy newspaper offices. 1t is at.
tached directly to the large printing
press and when the blank piece of pa
per is fed into the press it comes out
finished newspaper all ready to be taken
to the postoffice. The Republican Isl
keeping abreast with the times. The
folding of $500 papers each week by
hand was too much of strain on the
Office force and we were compelled to
do something to facilitate matters and
allow us to take care of the steadily in,
creasing business that has been turned
into The Republicans channel. In am
other column of this paper we give our
readers picture of the press and folder
attached. Come in and see the best
equipped printing office in this part Of
Iowa, the next time you are in town.
We are going to make improvements
from time to time that will keep the
the paper distinctly in the front ranks.

Special Services Last Sunday.

Special services were held at the Ger,
man Evangelical Lutheran church in
this city last Sunday morning and after.
noon. IT was planned to have present,
Rev. c. Fauth, of Westside who was to
preach on missions, but on account Of
the Northwestern Ry. not being able to
make the regular run Saturday after
noon, Rev. Fauth did not get to come.
Nevertheless, the regular pastor, Rev.
G. F. Braun, delivered two excellent
discourscs. The choir from the Allan.
tic church furnished music, rendering
several beautiful anthems. All of the
members of the choir were good singers
as was also the pastor, who has an ex-
cellent basso voice. 1t is to be hoped
that Audubon will get to hear Rev.
Fauth at some future date.

Farming on a Big Scale.

julius Hauess is going to start some
thing new in Audubon county in that
he is going to use q traction engine TO
do his blowing, and other farm work
This method of preparing the soil for
crops has proven very satisfactory In
other sections of the country and Mr.
Hauess believes that Iowa farmers are
just as up-to-date as they are in Canada
where the traction engine is put to all
sorts of use. His work will be watched
with considerable interest. Mr.. Il. was
in town the other day and purchased
the traction through James Law, our
hustling implement dealer. He has two
engines coming and it is quite likely
that they will be unloaded either today
or tomorrow.

Cows and Hens Pay Well.

Mrs. Eugene Kennedy. of Wichita,
Iowa, an inland town in Guthrie Coun-
ty, writes us the following facts: Last
wear she sold S43 pounds of butter for
which she received 1921. ss, besides what
she used for themselves in family OF
four. This amount was secured from
milk from seven cows. She also sold
1913 dozen eggs for which she received
Si44.76. She had 2S0 hens to start with
and during the season raised 500 young
chickens. OF this number 25O young
ROSTERS were sold which brought her
in another S65. and she has still on baud
400 chickens for next spring. She began
selling eggs Feb. 1st, and sold until
Nov. A. She began selling butter Feb. LIST,
and sold until Dec. Both. This makes a
total income of $431.64 from butter and
eggs, and Mrs. Kennedy is OF the
opinion that she has done remarkably
well. And no doubt she has.

Old Home Town Has Changed.

H. s. Slayton was in town Saturday
and while here took time to call at the
Office and tell us about his visit to
Lincoln, ILL.,, and other towns surround
ing it. He had not been back to Illi-
nois for 20 years and of course his re-
cent visit was full of interest. He has
many relatives and friends back in ILL
nois and he was glad to meet them all
once more. His brother-in-law, E. g..
McCue is now a specimen of good health
while in 1884 he was very poorly. Mr.
McCue expects to pay Mr.. Slayton a
visit during the coming summer. Mr..
Slayton visited at the home of the
father and sister of H. j. Savage, of
this city, and reports them in excellent
health. Mr.. Savage is well advanced in
years and retired from active work a
number of years ago
Lincoln has grown to such proportions
that she has assumed many metropolis
tan airs and Mr.. Slayton did not recog-
nize the place. When he reached Lin
coin he thought that he had been put
off at the wrong station, but when in
formed that he had not, he could hardly
realize that town could make such a
rapid growth. Although reared in the
vicinity of Lincoln, Mr.. Slayton con-
cluded that there was but one place on
earth where he felt at home, and that
was at Audubon.
