LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS
A Little Factory Venus
BY BLANCHE BEACON

Not so long ago I was visiting thread factory, and came across this little maid of sixteen.
 Her name is Francesca. She is of Italian-American percentage. From the first I was struck with her beau ty. She has the warm, rich coloring of the Italian, and all the vivacity of the American. There is no sleepy languor in her brown eyes, She is vivid and alive. asked her p1ayfully if she did anything to keep herself so pretty
 To my immense surprise, she an swered that she did.
 ''Of course I take care of myself 9 she laughed. ''If I did not, I would not be lovely, and if I am not lovely, I shall not win a husband"
 'tYou have such pretty, soft hands, remarked. ''Do you do something g to keep them so ?''
 'tAssuredly, lady" Francesca re- piled. My mother has some olive oil and I rub a little on my hands each night, and especially on my finger tips.''
 And your skin, Francesca ?'' s'Sour milk, lady. I wash my face with it each night, and once in a while I rub a very little olive oil on it.''
 -.And do you use olive oil for your hair, too?'' asked, as looked some what envious1y on her glossy, thick coils of black hair.
 Every night little rubbed into my scalp. It is so good. The hair likes it''
 And I suppose you use it for your eyebrows and lashes?"
 Then we both burst out laughing, as she replied:
 For everything, lady. Olive oil is

 He got up and shut his desk with a slam. The stenographer heard and came to the door of the anteroom, notebook and pencil in hand. Any thing to give me before you go away, MT. B1oun& P he asked.
 NNo?' said Blount almost savage ly. Then he reconsidered. 'fYes, there 1s. You may take a message to MT. McVickar. Are you ready?"
 The stenographer nodded.
 'sAn right; take this:
 Pending another interview with you, shall close my offices in Temple court and conf1ne myself strictly to the routine legal business of the company. In the mean time my resignation is in your hands II you wish to appoint 8 new division coun- gel.
 Write that out and send it at once, he said to the clerk. ''I shall be at the hotel if you want to reach me between now and closing t1me."

Will Decide on ElectrOliers Later

On account of various other matters
demanding the attention of the people
of Audubon, only small number were
out to attend the regular monthly meet
ing of the Commercial Club last Mon
day evening. Those who were present,
discussed among other things, the in
stallation of electroliers as the system
of street lighting on Broadway. 1t
was finally decided to let the executive
committee wrestle with the problem
and later present their conclusions to
the Club for consideration. At least
two propositions will be presented. AT.
ter the Club has taken definite stand.
the city council will entertain almost
any kind of a reasonable plan whereby
the citizens are benefited, the city being
as anxious as any individual to secure
the proper kind of street lighting. The
matter cannot be disposed of now, but
it will be kept grinding until the pro
position takes some form or other so
tnat it can be installed early next spring
Some of the property owners have sig
nitied willingness to purchase posts to
be erected in front of their places of
business. 1t is estimated that 30 posts
will be necessary to light the streets
now under consideration.

Will Make a Great Newspaper

1t is with considerable pleasure that
the writer learns O. NJ Gates has come
into possession of the Cass County Ad-
vocate, published at Atlantic. The
writer has known MIR Gates number
of years, and one of the grearest that
ever came to him was when he took the
What Cheer Patriot when it was practi-
cally ON its last pegs, and within short
time made it the leading newspapers of
Keokuk county. Mr.. Gates is a hustler
and has faculty of making things go.
Atlantic has long been considered a
splendid field for second newspaper.
Marian Il Spencer of this city tried the
venture last year, and we have it from
a reliable source that the firm dropped
a piece'of money If Mr.. Gates fails to
make his newspaper paying venture
in the city of Atlantic no one else need
try it. No brighter or snappier news
paper man ever published a country
newspaper than MIR. Gates has done in
the past and we will stake our best
Sunday hat that his efforts in Atlantic
will eclipse any previous attempt. We
certainly wish him all kinds of success.
Later After owning the paper one
week he found the field Improbable
and sold out to the News Telegraph.

Big Conference at Atlantic

Some months ago the churchmen of
Atlantic voted to invite the Mission
Boards to give Atlantic one of the
conferences, and recently Mr.. Wilbur
l.. Clapp, Executive Secretary of the
Campaign, arrived in Atlantic to organ
ize the committees for the work ofprep.
aration for the conference. The exc
cutive committee is as follows Rev t.
e. Volck, chairman; @. e. Kringel,
vice chairman; Rev. III. o. Spelman,
secretary; j. A. Citizen, treasurer; and
the following chairmen of sub-commit
tees: on arrangements, G.. E. Bradley;
publicity, John J. Rapp; finance, J A.
Chambers Anderson; literature and
Rev Elias Handy.
The conference in Atlantic will be
addressed by some of the very best
speakers in America, and as it is one OF
but $50 that are held in all the United
States and Canada, and one of less than
20 to be held in Iowa, it will put this
city among the first of the land and
state in their interest in the greatest
campaign in religious history. All
churches within the following territory
will be asked to send delegates to the
Atlantic conferences: From as far west
as Shelby; east to Stuart; north to
Audubon, and south to Elliott. Dele
gates from all points on the Atlantic
Northern and the Atlantic Southern
lines win be sought, and also from all
country points within the above de-
scribed territory. 1t is expected that
from two to three hundred at least will
be in attendance.

An Evening Supprise

On last Monday evening at 500 o'clock
over fifty of the relatives, old neighbors
and friends of Mr.. and Mrs. August
Schrader gave them q very pleasant
surprise. AT 1880 the crowd met at
August Cerka's and proceeded in a
body to the Schrader home Mr.. and
Mrs, Schrader had not suspected any
thing till the crowd arrived at their
place, so the gathering was complete
surprise. The evening was spent very
pleasantly in a social way everyone
having u fine time. About midnight
the guests presented the host with q
fine rocking chair as little remembrance
of the pleasant times spent together in
the past Following this, everyone was
treated to oysters and general supper.
The guests departed for their various
homes early the next morning thanking
all concerned, and especially those in
whose honor it was held, for the very
pleasant entertainment. Mr.. and Mrs
Schrader have purchased property in
Audubon to which they are moving and
will hereafter be found at their new
home in east Audubon.

Many Babies Were Scored

More than fifteen hundred Iowa ba-
bies have been given scientific health
test this year, according to the state
ment Just made to the Iowa Department
of Agriculture by Mary t. Watts, of
this city, superintendent of the Babies
Health Contest at the Iowa State Fair.
This movement, which was inaugurated
at the Iowa State Fair in 1911, will
succeed in raising the health standard
of Iowa in few years. in the opinion
of Mrs Watts.
At the Iowa State Fair this year
there were $50 applications for enteries
in the Babies Health Contest, 264 en-
teries taken, 1870 babies measured, and
1872 contestants for prizes. There were
many applications from parents of
children under the eighteen months
limit, and these, of course, had to be
refused. In writing of the contest,
Mrs. Watts says
"A desirable uniformity has prevailed
in the scoring of the babies, ewing to
the fact that one small group of women
physicians has furnished the medical
directors or assisted as judges at nearly
every contest in the state. 1t is pleas
ing to be able to say that the medical
profession has willingly co-operated in
every locality"

I'VE are doing ali we can to keep

on successive days, with every car sold.
This doesn't mean putting the owner
back of the wheel and sending the office

tell him the gear shifts and when to
throw out the clutch. Not by long
shot 1t means sending an experienced
mechanic, one who knows the car and
is able to tell others what he knows,

Green Will Have No Opposition

After careful survey of the 9th
Congressional District it begins to look
as though the Hon. w r. Green of this
city will have no opposition at the
state wide primary next spring for re-
nomination on the Republican ticket.
MIR. Green has made a good, clean
record at Washington and the Republi-
cans generally are well satisfied No
representative in congress has done
more for the district than Mr.. Green
has. Though Republican, he has at
all times represented all the people and
the Democrat or Prohibitionist, or
Socialist has received the same considera.
ton as any member of the party to
which he belonged. Mr., Green is at
home for few days but expects to re-
turn to Washington shortly. 1t will
therefore be pleasing news to his friends
TO learn that he viii be renominated
without opposition and reelected with
no greater opposition than he has en-
countered in thepast In the meantime
lets keep boosting for cur fellow towns
