Women Enjoy Their Meetings

The Woman's Club Calender for the
year has been carried out to the letter
so far. The attendance at all sessions
has been unusually good and Club
spirit exists that is gratifying to the
officers and is assurance of success in
every undertaking
The February social meeting was ar
ranged by Mrs. Sam Ulrich and her
committee of ladies. A good attendance
as usual is reported and an unusually
good time must have been enjoyed,
Judging from the favorable comments
heard on every side. Audubon must be
a town of good cooks. for the refresh
ments at these social affairs are always
appetizing and bountiful. On this oc-
casion they were served a little later
than usual, as the games which furnish
ed amusement were so interesting that
everyone wa loath to give them up.
The honorary members of the Club
who are only guests at social functions
express their appreciation by steadily
increasing attendance. They are a
most welcome addition. The next
social number is calendared for the
last half of March and the next regular
club meeting is dated the second We'd
nesday in March.
The Woman's Club wishes to express
its appreciation to the press of the city
for it's generous support OF the Com
munity Institute which was recently
held in our city. As the Woman's Club
was one member of the joint committee
that financed the undertaking 1t has
reason TO be grateful for these favors.

Beautiful Young Life Closed

Relatives and friends in Audubon
were greatly grieved Friday morning
when word came from the Dick Owen
home near Extra that their eldest
daughter, Lois had passed away after a
short illness, The loss of this beautiful
young girl is keenly felt by Mr. and
Mrs. Owen, who have had tremendous
lot of illness and grief since before
Christmas. For time Mr.. and Mrs
Owen and younger child were ILL.,
They all improved with the exception
of the child, who for several weeks was
thought could not recover, Later, Mr.
Owen was afflicted with rheumatism
and his condition became serious, in
fact, he was in such condition on the
day of the funeral that he was unable
TO be present. Then Lois took sick,
and she had been such help and com,
fort TO her parents during the months
of illness in the home.
Lois Winnifred Owen, daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Over O. % born
near Audubon July 20, 1908, a died at
her home near Extra Feb. 90 1914,
being few months less than IA years
OF age. The deceased was always a
bright ioyable girl, always willing to
assist those who were near and dear to
her. In life she sought after those
things which are uplifting and con-
stantly looked upon the bright side of
life. Her last illness was of short
duration. After two weeks of suffer
ing she was called TO the better world
where there is no suffering. A great
deal could be said concerning the young
life that was brought to such sudden
close, but her actions speak louder
than words, and these will live on for
ever. The world is better for her hav-
ing lived and these thoughts cannot
help but be q comfort to her fond par
ents and admiring friends
The deceased leaves to mourn her
departure father and mother, one
brother and sister, Leland and Ellowene
besides other relatives and a concourse
of friends. Funeral services were held
at the Presbyterian church in this city

j. II Freedline, pastor of the M. Z.
church, assisted by Rev Greenlee of
this city ana Rev. Hollingshead, of

Extra rendered some very appropriate
selections.
The bereayed parents are well known
in this part of Audubon county and the
Republican joins with their friends in
extending to them our heartfelt sym
pathy in this hour of their most crush
ing grief.

INTEREST In CONTEST
Many Subscriptions Coming in Daily.
Special Prizes Offered to Contestants
Induce Increased Efforts

Interest in the subscription contest is
still growing daily, and large number
of the contestants are doing excellent
work. The number of subscriptions
which are coming in is indeed crafty
ing and the results of each days work
shows that the contestants are all
working with determination to win
To each contestant we would say,
get into the game as hard as You can
right NOW, for every minute of time
between now and the close of the Con-
test means much TO you. and the sub.
scriptions which you secure now may
put you just far enough in advance of
the other contestants at the close to
win an automobile for you. The re-
ward Is worth the effort, so make every
day count for the most.
Do not be discouraged because you
may not happen to be the highest on
the list this week, but determine to put
yours high up in the count at the end
of next week and then get out and
hustle and you can do it Your chances
are Just as good as any other workers
in the contest You have as many
friends and the question of whether or
not you are to be "a winner lies entirely
with you. Therefore it behooves you
to get the most out of the efforts which
you put forth.
Do not go about your work in slip
shod manner, but have your plan of
work clearly outlined, have thoroughly
organized campaign mapped out. work
with system and with definite aim
in view Do not lose time, by trying to
cover to much territory at one time, but

another, and will accomplish great
deal more for the time and effort used
There large number OF people over
the county and adjacent territory who
do not take the Republican and who.
if you put the proposition up to them,
right, will become subscribers both in
order that they may have the paper
and that they may help yon out on the
contest. There are q large number of
persons who are now subscribers who
will pay up for Ave or ten years in ad
vance If you will approach them in the
right manner.
DO not be disturbed If you are told by
someone that you haven't an equal
chance with the other contestants or
th1t favoritism will be shown in the
counting of the votes or the awarding
of the prizes. 10 would be the poorest
of business policy for us to attempt TO
run contest on principles of that kind,
and any gratifying financial results
that might be obtained by such method
would be more than over balanced by
the bad after effects. This contest
must and is absolutely fair to all con
cerned in 1t, and the results obtained
for the contestants lies not with the
Republican nor the Contest manager
but with the contestants themselves
1t is our purpose to hold 70 the policy,
