A DEFINITION

Newspaper readers have seen much
of the word mobilization" during
the past week, and there probably
have been few who have had any
thing more than very hazy idea of
what the word signifies. The Brook
Ign Eagle gives the following ex-
PLANTATION:
Just what does mobilization
mean? This question, more than
any other, has been on the lips of
readers of war news during the past
week. The dispatches have been full
of assertions like the following: II
Russia mobilizes, Germany will de-
clare war" German mobilization TO
be followed by French invasion But
there has been no explanation why
whatever action this military term
connotes, should be so provocative oil
international disturbance.
The fact is that mobilization is the
step which must precede the first
overt act of war and usually the mob
iIization of an army is immediately
followed by either declaration of
war or some overt act of war Con-
sidered purely as a technical military
term, mobilization means drawing to
the different military units--battil-
ion, battery or squadron--the num-
Der of reserves which brings it up to
its full war strength, but its signifi-
canoe only becomes apparent in con-
sidering everything that this involves.
I'm country like Germany, with
a military machine of gigantic pro-
portions. fired, oiled, with steam in
the boilers, ready to respond to the
touch of lever at the Kaiser's word
ordering northumberland he alone
is authorized to give it-sets into mo-
ton 100000 separate units"

sPENCER-DAY WEDDING

A beautiful home wedding occurred
at Lake View, Iowa, on Thursday,
Aug. 6, at three o'clock when Miss
Eta Spencer, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Geo. r. Spencer, formerly resi-
dents of Audubon county was married
to Charles K. Day.
Promptly at 500 o'clock Miss
Mamie Spencer, niece of the bride
took her place at the piano and play
ed beautiful Introductory piece, af-
ter which Miss Bertha Day, sister of
the bride groom sang a solo accom-
panied by Mamie Spencer. During
the beautiful ring ceremony of the
M. Z. church, Miss Rose Weighton of
this city played very softly on the
piano and also throughout the con-
gratulations. The home was decorat-
ed with English Jasmine and sweet
peas, the color scheme being pink and
white.
The bride was dressed in lovely
white dress with touches of pink on
ii, while the groom wore blue serge.
Dainty refreshments were served
by four young ladies also dressed in
pink and white.
The same evening the happy couple
boarded the train for Fort Dodge
on their way to Wisconsin where
they will visit Mr. Days sister re-
turning to Early, Iowa. in time for
Mr.. Day to take up his work as Sup
erintendent of the public schools on
Sept. 7th.

A DEMONSTRATION SCHOOL

Prof. Chas. A. Fullerton, Super
visor of music in the State Teachers
College at Cedar Falls. was in Aud
ubon last Saturday calling upon the
County Superintendent and others in
the interest of having demonstra-
ton school in this county. This is
a new departure by the Teachers
College which has been tried out in
a number of rural schools in the
vicinity of Cedar Falls during the
past year with very satisfactory re-
suits. The purpose of the faculty is
to establish one in each county in our
state. The plan followed is to send
well-trained teacher to the school
that may be selected, the college
paying whatever it is necessary to
add to the wages of the district to
secure one who is thoroughly prepar-
ed to do first class work. The school
will be visited at intervals by an ex-
pert from the college to assist in
bringing the work to the highest
grade of efficiency so that 1t may be
a worthy example to follow by other
teachers and schools in the county.
Miss Stearns took Mr.. Fullerton
and A. c. Ross out to Douglas town
ship to see a fine modern school
building just completed, and they
were delighted with its arrangement
and construction. In its seating,
heating, lighting and convenience 1t
seems to be without criticism. 1t
surely is a long way from the log
house and slab seats of Ye Olden
time.

WIFE OF THE
PRESIDENT rs DEAD
simple Funeral Services Held at Her
Girihood Home, Tuesday
Afternoon.

Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, wife of the
nations president, was buried Mon
day at Myrtle Hill cemetery, Rome,
Ga, Rain fell in torrents while the
casket was being lowered into the
grave, which is beside those of Mrs.
Wilson's father and mother, almost
in sight of the house in which she
lived as girl.
Simplicity marked the funeral of
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson. In Difference
TO the wishes of the president, the
exercises were brief. There was a
forty-five minute service at the First
Presbyterian church, where Mrs.
Wilson's father, Rev. d. Edward s.
Arson, was pastor for seventeen
years, and an even shorter ceremony
at Myrtle Hill cemetery.
Rome, the girlhood home of Mrs.
Wilson, awaited in sombre attire the
arrival of the funeral train from
Washington. Buildings in the busi-
ness district and many residence sec
tions were draped in black.
Traffic was closed early on the
streets through which the procession
was to pass from the railway station
to the church, and from the church
and national guardsmen were on
patrol.
Because of the limited capacity of
the church, only members of the
family and close friends we're invited
to be present. On arrival of the fu-
neral train at 1880 p. m, 1t was
planned to go at once to the church.
Two of the old hymns which were
Mrs. Wilson's favorites as girl were
sung. Rev. Sylvester Beach OF
Princeton, ~ j.. and the local pastor
Rev. d.. G. G.. Snyder, conducted the
ceremonies, |

FALLS FROM WAGON AND
is SERIOUSLY INJURED

A distressing accident took place
yesterday afternoon at the home of
Cassie Root, two and a half miles
northwest of Larland when Ivan
Root, the 16 year old son fell from
q load of small grain he was hauling
from the field to the threshing ma
chine.
Young Root was crossing a little
ravine with the load of grain. In
crossing this ravine he lost his bal
ance and fell OFF the load onto the
horses. This frightened the team
and the horses ran away. The lad
fell under the wagon which passed
over his body crushing three ribs,
breaking a bone back of the ear and
causing other serious bruises. Last
night he was still in a serious con-
dition, but this morning he is some
what improved and the attending
physician has hopes of his recovery
unless the injuries should bring on
a paralized condition. Z

ASK FOR HIS RETURN

At the last quarterly conference of
the Methodist Episcopal church, held
on Monday. Rev. A. A. Waiburn, who
has been the pastor for the past year,
was requested to be returned to this
charge for another year. During a
part of the year Just past the health
of Mr., Walburn has not been the best,
at times, which hindered very much
in his work. During the time he has
done much of foundation work which
will bear fruit in time to come, but
together with this much has been
done to advance the cause which is
now in evidence. Mr. Walburn is
what you might term a shirt sleeve
preacher. He is just common, every
day in his manners, and the simple
fact that you do not wear the best of
clothes for any reason does not affect
him one bit, and he is just as willing
to grasp your hand in good fellowship
in overalls as in broadcloth. His
sermons are direct and to the point
no half measures or lodges CO.
just the plain gospel truth. Should
the conference return him to Ham
burg for another year, we feel 1t will
be good move both for the church
and the town in general Hamburg

.BOB' COUSINS AT EXTRA

A large number of Audubon peo-
pie heard Robt. G. Cousins on the lee
ture platform at the Chautauqua al
Extra last Saturday. All are unani-
nous in their opinion that his lecture
was the greatest and grandest lee
ture ever delivered in Audubon
county. Mr.. Cousins is reputed TO
be Americas ablest orator, and all
who heard the distinguished Iowan,
are convinced that the reputation is
well founded. There were many Others
who had planned to go but at the last
moment failed to secure transport
ton Accommodations.
The lecturer has been in Iowa poll
tics thirty years or more, and during
that time served the second Iowa
District in Congress several terms.
He is familiar with public men and
public affairs. He is still a young
man and will be heard from in the
years TO come.
At the. close of the afternoon pro-
gram Mr. Cousins met a number OF
Audubon county people whom hs
knew while living in this city witIishYs
uncle Ed. B. Cousins. He spent Sat
urday night and Sunday in Audubon,
leaving Monday morning for Storm
Lake where he appeared at the Chau-
tauqua Tuesday afternoon.

TO DELINQUENT SUBSCRIBERS

We have during the past been very
lenient with our delinquent sub
scribers, most all OF whom were for
mer residents of Audubon but are
now scattered to the four winds of
the earth, and reside in the various
states of the union. During the past
week we have sent a statement of
account to all those who are in ar
rears and we hope that they will be
kind enough to make a remittance
by return mail Unless a remittance
is promptly mailed. their names will
be dropped from our subscription
list and the account placed in the
hands of attorneys for collection.
We have been at heavy expense
during the past summer installing
new machinery, and we hope our
readers have appreciated the effort
we have made to give them more live
reading matter than any other news

In order to continue to publish a
good live newspaper, we must have
money. BY giving this matter
prompt attention, our readers will
confer great favor on yours truly.

SPECIAL FIRE POLICE

Last Thursday night meeting of
the fire department was held at the
fire hall and the regular business at
tended to. During the recent fire in
the Howald block it was almost i'm
possible for the members of the fire
department to reach the seat of the
FIRE, because of too large a crowd. not
only of small boys, but grown people
standing in the way, greatly hamper
ing the fire boys in the performance
of their duty. During the meeting,
the matter of appointing four special
police officers to keep back crowds
at fires was brought up, and decided
upon. The following officers were
appointed and will draw the same
pay that the firemen receive: Gene
Johnson, I'll. A. Northup, Chas, Sun
berg and Geo. Townsend. When APP
preached by any of these officers dur
ing a Ere, 1t is hoped that no one
will take offense as 1t is done for the
betterment of the citys welfare.

WERE STOPPED AT NEW YORK

Peter Petersen and Jeppe Nelson
of Fiscrs who had planned a trip to
Denmark and expected to set sail for
the land of their nativity the fore part
of the month, found on reaching New
York that the New Fatherland, on
which they had secured passage,
would not sail on account of war con-
ditions in Europe. -
This news in a measure, was dis
appointing, but inasmuch as neither
of the gentlemen cared to enlist in
any of the armies, they decided 1t
would be best for them to postpone
their trip indefinitely. They did not
propose to come back to Audubon
county, however, without seeing at
least part of America First"
The two gentlemen spent consider
able time sight seeing in New York
City, going out to see the Statute of
Liberty and a boat ride up the Hud-
son river. They went from New
York to Washington, ID. c., and were
more than delighted with the many
interesting sights at the Nations
Capitol They went to the office of
Congressman Green but he was out
of the city, so his secretary, Chas.
Ketchum took them in charge. The
Smithsonian Institute, the Mint. the
Navy Yards and the Congressional
Library were of special interest to
the visitors. Mr.. Nelson served in
the navy in Denmark some 80 years
ago and of course the Navy Yards
was of interest to him. They were
privileged to board the presidents
yacht and were accorded many other
privileges through the courtesy of
Mr.. Ketchum.
While in the Office yesterday, Mr.
Nelson stated that they enjoyed the
trip in the east almost as we'll as
they would have enjoyed the trip
and though they did not get
to sail on the New Fatherland," they
were on the big ship and got to see
what magnificent ship it was.
Mr.. Petersen and Mr.. Nelson stopp-
ed at various other points Of interest
on their return home. such as going
to Mt. Vernon. the home of Geo.
Washington, Georgetown, National
Cemetery and many points of interest
around Pittsburg. Not having been
able TO sail. the amount of money
paid for their steamship tickets,
which they bought through F. w.
Smith, will be refunded to them.

which was enjoyed by those present.

fully surprised and thanked them all
for their kind remembrance OF him
on this suspicious occasion. Before
