The Redpath Bureau has sent the
following letter to the local lecture
course committee. Our readers will
no doubt be interested in it.

BETWEEN TWO DANGERS

Miss Anna Dinse. a rural school
teacher, who is employed at Sharon
No. /, met with what might have
been serious accident Saturday while
coming to town. She was driving a
team of horses belonging to Mr. Sor-
ensen. The horses became freight
ened at something and in their at
tempt to get away broke the buggy
tongue. Miss Dinse had the lines
wrapped around her, and becoming
alarmed jumped out of the buggy.
On alighting on the ground she was
Mortified to find large snake at her
feet. She didn't know what to do
for moment. She hesitated sec
ond and then concluded to jump over
the snake and stay with the horses
whom she soon succeeded in quieting,
She soon made the necessary repairs
to the buggy and came to Audubon to
meet her brother from Minnesota who
had come to spend few days with
her. Miss Dinse was more than
pleased at having been able to stop
the horses, and tickled to death that
she had made her escape from snake
that could have caused her untold
agony.

GREATEST BASE BALL FEAT

The taking of the 1914 worlds SER
les by the Boston Braves of the
National League from the Philadel-
phia Athletics of the American
League is accorded one of the
greatest feats in base ball history,
because of the fact that Boston won
the four games in consecutive order.
The first game was won by score of
z to 1. second game to 0, third
game to A. in twelve innings and
yesterdays game 3 to /. The result
was a complete surprise to numer-
Gus people throughout the United
States, as the betting on Philadelphia
winning at the start of the series was
2 to l and 8 to 4. Much money
changed hands in Audubon on the
outcome of the games.

OUR PARTIsANsHIp

The general election is but a few
weeks away. The Republican has
faith in and adheres to the Repub-
lican party and supports the primary
nominees of that party without apol-
ogy and without reserve. We grant
that the other political parties have
worthy men in their ranks and on
their tickets but we expect to be with
them as we know they would be with
us-in opposition on matters of the
party concern. We have no quarrel
to make with members of other
parties and shall always be consider
ate of our many friends who affili-
ate with other organizations and
shall concede them the same right
we reserve ourselves-to work hon
estly and honorably for the welfare
of their party.

MEETING AT BRAYTON IN THE
INTEREST OF BETTER SCHOOLS

On Thursday evening. Oct. %. a
meeting in the interest of better
schools will be held at Brayton. j.
A. Woodruff, State Inspector of Ru-
raj and Consolidated Schools will be
present to give an illustrated lecture
on this subject. !. Mr.. Woodruff is a
pleasing speaker and a man who
knows his subject. He will speak on
consolidated schools and on better
sanitary conditions for the one-room
school, taking up the principles of
heat, ventilation and light. These
three things are sadly neglected in
the average school room, especially
the right lighting of school rooms.
We are glad to see that our Co.
superintendent is giving strict at
tention to this subject of light.
Great injustice has been done to
boys and girls in the past along this
line.

AUDUBON WINS ONE

In the first game of the season the
Audubon High School foot ball team
defeated decisively the fast aggre-
cation from Coon Rapids by the score
of 6 to o. The showing of the home
team was a distinct surprise, as well
as pleasure to the few loyal support
ers who witnessed the game. The
team work was above expectations
for the first game and the fighting
spirit of the Audubon boys swept the
hitherto successful team from Coon
RAPIDS off it's feet

LICENSES NOT NECESSARY

The legal department of the state
concludes that no hunters license is
required for going out to park and
shooting alta target or to wing "clay
pigeons. But If the gun club should
make use of real pigeons the situa-
ton might be different. 1t seems that
in some parts of the state an effort
is made to compel the target shoot
ers to take out licenses for hunting.

out West a few years ago He dropped
into a small town there, Marysville

AT that time Thomas was the best

was unknown. He took Thomas over

fight, knocked him down and put up
wonderful fight. We brought the pair
to Frisco later and Ketchel knocked

All his rep was with men who were
past their prime in the ring. Look
them over: There was Peter Jackson,

stages Of the tournament. Again, all
the matches being played at eighteen
holes, it is quite necessary to get
started right at the beginning Of the
match, as there is no chance to loaf
along for the first few holes with the
feeling that you can settle down to
business a little later and pull the
match out Of the fire. The only way
to get" your opponent is to start
from the very fifst- hole and stick to
it all the way round.
Ground to Affect Americans.
There is no doubt that the Ameri-
can players will be somewhat af-
fected by the change from inland to
seaside courses. Nearly all our courses
in America are Of an inland nature,
that is, the soil is heavy and a con-
siderable amount of il can be taken
with iron shots with perfect safety
In England and Scotland the soil is
Of a more sandy and friable nature
particularly Sandwich and Prestwick,
where the amateur and open cham
pionships will be played. respectively,
consequently greater care has to be
taken with iron shots, particularly
with short approaches, to avoid duff
ing"
The question Of climate is not liza
Bile to bother the American players
very much. A great deal has always
been said about getting acclimated.
but l have never heard any American
golfer complain much beyond the fact
that the winds are much more severe
than we are accustomed to have in
the United States. This may possi-
bly, be partly accounted for by the

trees or hills, whereas the courses Of
Great Britain over which the cham
pionships are played are right along
the seashOres where the wind invari-
ably blows.
Mr.. Ouimet, whom ] shall accom-
pany throughout the trip, will make
his first appearance in England m
