Johnson, Miss Reba Choate and Miss
Ethel Brainard, have completed the
arrangements which they are unwill-
ing to disclose. saying that half the
fun will be in the surprise. They do
say, however, that it will be a really
typical celebration of dear old Hal
lowe'en. The rest they leave to
Imagination until that shall be re-
placed by actuaGties which, according
to their limitations, will be nearer
sensations. n toresome nosing into
other peoples business disclosed this
fact that whoever enters the door Of
the building after the hour of 7.30 to-
morrow evening will be taken on a
tour of the building in a somewhat
different manner than would be the
usual mode, upon which bumps may
perchance be encountered physically
and visions mentally. The commit
tee are DESTROYS of warning of the in
formality which will be observed on
the occasion alJ wish to call the at
tention of the men that the locker
rooms will be closed Friday night and
that they had better get their sneak
ersn from the lockers before that time,
since rubber soies will be necessity
they are not so slippery.
Owing to the work required in
cleaning up after the Halloween So
cial Saturday night will not, in &C
cordance with the usual custom, be
open night at the association building.
A meeting of the board of directors of
the local association was held Wednesday

ed what will be novel and should be an
appreciated feature of the building
namely, a lunch room which will be I'M
der the supervision of Mr.. and Mrs.
George Herrin, the present matron and
janitor of the association building. The
plan will undoubtedly reach fulfllment
within at least one week. 1t is the in
tent1On TO nave TOT SAFE confectionery
and other dainty sweetmeats and to
serve lunches between the hours of $50
and 10 each evening. An enlargement of
the scheme will depend upon the patron
age and success which attends the pres

Physical Standardization Conference to
be held in Worcester, Mass, Nov. q, Is
and 20.

CORN GOING UP UP UP

Never in the history of Audu-
bon County has the weather con
ditions been SO near perfect for
the forcing of the corn crop as
since planting time this year so
hot that everything sized.
Day after day the therm ometer
touches the one hundred mark in
town and oft times kept it up at
night, so that poor tired humanity
is obliged to look up the coolest
place to be found in order to get a
little sleep.
OF course, such conditions are
ideal for our great maize crop and
it is certainly taking advantage OF
it. Monday, we fastened stalk
to our door gathered ON Mr.. e. C.
Wilson's farm, adjoining town,
that measured eight feet III
height with a tassel and two silks
in sight That corn patch of about
eighty acres is at least two weeks
ahead of the average season

NEW POTATOES ARE
QUITE PLENTIFUL

For sometime the gardeners and
other people having early potato
patches have been complaining that
the plants had gone to vine, with
few tubers set on them. We plant
ed little patch of our own. last
spring thinking we might be forced
to a potato diet next winter if
these hard times continue, so we
cautiously approached our patch
and pulled up a vine and to- our
surprise found three potatoes as
large as hens eggs that weighed
just half pound We, of course,
, thought our winters supply was
in sight so we displayed them on
saucer in the office. All went we'll
until Uncle Charley Parrott discov-
cred them and he was So determined
to beat them that he dug all over
his patch and found four big ones.
He came tramping into our office
with a paper sack in his hand
and in his mean way told us that
1--WE couldn't raise potatoes if that
| was the best we could do point
ing to our priced dish. This made
our English b,ood boil. We told
him that he could not do as we'll.
He noticed we were warm under
the collar, at his expressions, so he
handed lis the sack he was carry
ing for Investigation. In it we
found just four potatoes that
weighed one pound and three quar-
ters. We acknowledged our defeat
I'M as polite a way as we knew how,
and would ask you, my reader, il
you think you can beat Charley Par
rott with large potatoes. Just
bring in four and we will try it,,

JUICE
FAILED TO SATISFY

Last Friday evening July 3rd at s
Wieland and his men had worked Sc
hard with to bring it here by the
July 4th made it's first appearance
The lights, while good in some
parts of the city were quite poor
in others. But, as few such improv-
ments give satisfaction at first they
oft times improve by use. So the
best thing to do is to wait re-
suits before censuring anyone.
Extra will gloriously shine in a
a few days. The three arches with
their SO lights on each are not
strong but may he made so at pre-
sent they are ornamental at least.
Later Tuesday evening, the cleo
trio lighted arches mentioned above
became thing of beauty. MI
Wieland and his men found the
trouble and corrected it and nc
one could ask for a prettier light
With the addition of more pow
erful bulb between the arches or
Main Street, light on the business
portion is just as it should be.
1t is now in order for the towr
to extend a vote of thanks to Mr.
ED. Cotton in whose imaginative
brain the working out of this per
manent and useful decoration be
comes an attractive fixture. 1t wa.
Ed who suggested it in the Com
| aereial Club and it was he wht
I collected the toll.

of Supervisors and the county en-
gineers have begun the erection
of three hundred road signs in Ham

COUNTY ENGINEER
SAVED SALARY

Fremont County has stopped ar
guing whether or not a county en-
gineer is worth the money paid him.
Henry Bravencamp, county engineer,
on the last batch of bridge bills pre-
sented, saved the county $1152.00
He draws s15OO.OO per var, this
saving was within $34S.OO of his en-
tire years salary.
But to make an engineers tracing
and supplied township road maps
at cost of few cents each for
all that were needed, beating a
map agent who wanted $500 per
map for each of the thirteen town
ships, saving some $4,000. or more
for his county.
There used to be much argument
in Fremont County as to whether
or not the county engineer was
worth the money paid him. Fremont
has learned that she can forget all
about the road and bridge work her
engineer does. the most valuable
part of his services, and yet more
than save his expeace to the CO.
unity. on the odd little jobs he does
The saving on the bridge bills is
an illustration of the advantage of
having a trained engineer check up
matters of this kind over having
the audit usually given by the a-u-
diting committee of the board OF
supervisors.
