Rubel Loses His Match

The wrestling match at Worthington' s
opera house Wednesday evening of last
week proved to be an attractive draw
ing card, in point of numbers who were
present to witness the bout, and the pre-
limiuaries and main show were consid
cred well worth the admission. The
contestants were Earl Caddock of Chi
cago, whose home was formerly in the
Berea vicinity, and Rubel of Hamlin,
who won q match here several weeks
ago. The result was surprise, as well
as a Disappointment, Caddock surprising
his friend aud hackers far beyond their
expectations, and Rubels friends and
supporters being disappointed at his in
ability to turn the trick, with odds APP
parently much in his favor. Robert
Cryer was master of ceremonies and
everything passed off as smoothly and
serene as a Sunday school picnic. Cad.
dock is yet young in the profession,
whirlwind in his class. and has not yet
reached the height of possible develop
ment.-Anita Record.

Gave Pleasant Farewell Party

Twenty some friends of Mr.. and Mrs.
II. Z. Kittell sprang a surprise on them
last Monday evening. The party met
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. A. @. Har-
mon and in body marched TO the Kit
tell home where they found them both
in ignorance of the arrival of their
guests. They brought with them
luncheon and decorations and after a
short time the merriment started. Mr..
and Mrs Kittell expect soon to leave
for Harlan and their friends wanted to
give this excellent young couple fare
well. They have both been very prom
inent in church work and it is with
much regret that we see them leave

which they are held. they were present
ed souvenir spoon which will give
them occasion to remember the many
friends they left behind
The surprise was complete in every
detail, nevertheless, the evening was en-
joyed and all present assured Mr.. and

SPRINGTIME BANQUET
Great Success and Was a Function
Greatly Enjoyed by More Than
200 BanqueterS

| The "Springtime Banquet" 80 vigor-
ously pushed and cleverly planned by
the Woman's Club was held at the
court house last Thursday evening.
Over 200 tickets were sold ut 81 each,
and the way the people in all walks of
life patrouized the affair was a source
of much satisfactionto those who had
the matter in charge.
The aim and object of giving this ban
quet was to raise a sum of money
which could be used to install Ladies
Rest Room in the basement under the
Booster Cafe The Womans Club Nand
the Commercial Club were anxious to
secure a room for the benefit of the
ladies from the country who make Au-
dubon their headquarters. The town
has long cherished the hope of being
able to maintain place of this kind and
when the WoInans Club made propo-
sition Of combining the efforts of the
two organizations the Commercial Club
was only too willing to join. The
amount secured at the banquet will be
used for installing the necessary furni-
ture, ETC., and when that has been ex-
hausted the two Gibbs will bear the
other expense share and share alike.
The court room was Hastily decorated
and presented a most pleasing appear
ance With over 200 people seated at
the tables, the room resembled q large
banquet hall The menu that was served
was all that could be asked for and gave
universal satisfaction
After the banquet, HI. J. Hoogenakker
made few remarks and announced a
musical progam that was to follow.
Extensive preparations had been made.
not only including Audubon's talent,
but some of Extras most noted and
talented singers.
The program opened with chorus by
Audubon ladies, which was followed in
quick succession with solos, duets, quar-
tets and reading by Mrs. Hoogen-
akker. The last number vas chorus
rendered by Extra ladies and they were
loudly applauded They gave second
number which was also greatly enjoyed
The entire program was one of the best
over given in Audubon and Mrs. G. II.
Wilde who had the matter in charge is
TO be congratulated.
The Womans Club and the CONNER
cial Club wish to extend their thanks,
through the Republican to those who
patronized the banquet so literally and
to all who gave so freely of thier time
and talent to make this affair the great
success that it was.
Believing that the public in general
would be interested in the receipts and
expenditures of the banquet, we have
secured the following report from Mrs

Looks Like War With Mexico

The past few days matters between
Mexico and the United States have
taken decided change. President
Wilson ordered our war ships to Vera
Cruz. but not with any intention of fir
ing on the Mexican people. When our
fleet arrived, however, the American
soldiers were fired upon and the result
was that 4 American soldiers were
killed and $50 Mexicans killed and
wounded The Mexican government
has declared war on the United
States, in that the government thas
called on the U. S. 10 furnish the
Mexican minister at Washington his
passports, and also asks the United
States to recall Nelson O'Shaughnessy,
representing this government in Mexico,
These serious complications are due to
demand from President Wilson to
Huerta, TO salute the American flag,
for the insults and indignities that the
Huerta government has manifested
toward Americans and the government
of the United States
Congress, and the whole nation, is
back of President Wilson, and while
all regret that blood has been shed, the
people believe the President was right
In making the demands. 1t is hoped
that the difficulty may be speedily set.

the sugar beet crops Of Utah., Colorado.
Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin will be on
the market This should extend the pres
ent easiness of prices for time. The
high price for granulated sugar seems to
be TX cents. There is no telling where
this price will pause. if the war lasts
long. In such a case, the worlds sugar
shortage would probably be enormous.
Another interesting element Of the pres
ent sugar situation is that :; Germany
largely supplies the world with sugar beet
seed. She furnishes this article to France,
stria-Hungary, Belgium. Holland, and
the United States. While she is reported
to have large supply on hand. left over
from last years harvest, it is. not likely
that much will find it's way into export
channels. The United States has one-fifth
its normal demand of beet seed now in
stock
War has several times changed the sugar
map Of the world. 1t may again. This
at least seems certain: There is to be an
unacceptable sugar famine with prolong-
ed European war This may stimulate
the raising of sugar beets in America,
and also the refining industry. At present
our refineries are able to turn out about
20,000,000 hundred-weights a year Of
sugar, which leaves about 15,000,000 Of
refined sugar to meet home consumption.

II received and have read with the

Gil of the Churches of Christ in Amer
lea. signed by the president, the chair
man of the administrative committee
the chairman of the comm isSion or

II need not tell you how sincerely I
appreciate the approval expressed in
that letter of the efforts I have made
and am happy to have anticipated the
suggestion of the council IN the mat
ter of urging a genuine attitude OF
neutrality upon the people of the
United States, and also to have been
able to meet the suggestion of the
council in the matter of appointing a
