Continues to Improve Herd

r. r. Clark who owns the Oak Dale
stock farm three miles east of Brayton
has just added valuable three year
old Hereford bull TO head his herd of
50 head of registered cows. This new
addition is sired by March On the 9TH
and damned by Dale two of the very
highest priced Herefords that have ever
been produced in this country both of
whom sold for fabulous sums Mr..
Clark has for years worked faithfully
to better the breed of cattle in this part
of the country and his yearly sales
speak for themselves. Only recently
he sold neighbor, A. F. Andersen one
of his very best bulls and still has a
number of young bulls and yearling
heifers that can be purchased He is
also interested in Duroc Jersey hogs
and at this time has a few choice re.
corded sows that he offers for sale.
Breeders from distance come to Mr..
Clark for the very choicest of Herefords
TO head their fiocks and large majority
of Audubon and Cass county breeders
are avaifing themselves of the same OPP
portunity. Mr.. Clark has made the
breeding of cattle and hogs a careful
Study and scores of farmers owe their
success in the business to the many top
notchers Mr. Clark has brought within
their reach.

Mrs. Nash Leaves Audubon

1t is with the profoundest regret that
the Republican today records the fact
that Mrs J. A. Nash has left Audubon,
and we fear that her leaving at this
time means that her departure will be
OF a permanent nature. On Tuesday
she went to Ottumwa where she hopes
TO make her daughter, Mrs. N A.
Cowles, a visit and later may decide to
spend much of her time in California.
Audubon people in general will regret
TO learn OF Mrs. Nash s decision to leave.
She has done so much for Audubon and
has been so prominently connected with
the social and club life of the town that
without her presence no gathering will
seem quite complete Her connection
with club affairs, and as president of
the state federation of Womans Gibbs
gave her wide acquaintance over the
state. Her friends here and elsewhere
have learned to love and admire her
for her many womanly traits of charac.
ter and all hope that she may continue
in her Club work for which she was SO
eminently fitted. All hope that Mrs
Nash will find il a pleasure to make
Audubon as many visits in the future
as she possibly can, but wherever she
decides to locate permanently the well
wishes of host of friends will follow
her.

The Simpson College Glee Club, com
posed of 20 excellent young men who
attend the college at Indianola, gave
one of their splendid concerts at the NJ.
E. church last Saturday night, A good
sized audience greeted them and each
number was heartily applauded. The
men were well trained aud rendered
each selection faultlessly. This is the
first glee club to visit Audubon in many
years and all who heard the Simpsonians
would be glad of the opportunity of
hearing them again As rule Satur,
day evening is not the very best night
in the week to get crowd, but this
time 1t proved to be the exception.
The Club remained in Audubon over
Sunday and at the morning service
some of the members furnished special
music. In the evening the Club gave a
sacred concert Their singing was so
we'll liked the night before that a
crowded house grt eted them again on
Sunday evening Simpson college and
the people of Iudiauola have every
reason to be proud of their Glee Club.
They were all we'll behaved young men
and represented the very best manhood
in the state.

would point you out that same, as
quite the moral of the game.
Who's next? McGraw now has one
problem left. The discovery OF some
one outside Mathewson WHO can
check this smuggling crew. Against
Mathewson the Athletics have tatted
.210 altogether and 900 In a pinch
Against Marquard. Tesreau and Gran
dali they have batted 31o altogether,
about $50 In pinch. Demaree has
a better chance than any one besides
the veteran. Marquard was effective
against the Red sox but he has tried
three starts against the Mackmen
and has yet to win game. Tes-
reau has worked In four world ser.
les contests. but he has yet to come
through with we'll pitched contest.
Mathewson has always responded
and now SfcGraw is crowded on to
Demaree. a slender slabman with a
short motion but long head. De-
maree Is a frail piece of pitching

over with desire to get another

final quietus delivered by the Athletics
today They fiocked out to Shibe

for admission to the unreserved seats

more TO wind up the series and the

at that they will not face winter
marked by severe hardship. They
