Sheriff Sunbers Jumps the Fence

Sheriff Sunberg was out in his Ford
the other evening and on his return
home. his machine jumped the fence at
the Sizer farm south of town running
the car onto the railway right of way.
The front wheel was completely de-
molished, the windshield broken and
the car otherwise scratched up, but
Mr.. Sunberg escaped with only slight
wound in the hand. The accident, for
which Mr.. Sunberg cannot account,
ended fortunately for all concerned
When Mr.. Sunberg reached town and
his friends found what capers he had
been cutting, were unkind enough to
say shat he was out soliciting votes and
when he jumped the fence he did so
with the intention of getting the Sizer
boys to vote for him next fall

Club Year Closed Yesterday

The last social event calendared for
the Womans Club in their year book
was sewing party at the Mrs. F. s.
Watts home yesterday. The scom-
mittee who planned the party asked
each lady to bring a pound of Garnet
rags, as donation-and a big donation
it proved to be when all pounds were
piled in one big heap. The Rest Room
committee looked pleased for this dona-
ton is a Rest Room benefit.
just as soon as weaver can find
time. this pile of rags will be made into
strong, servicible rugs for use in the
Hest Room to make it more cosy and
comfortable. If there is a surplus, the
extra rags will be sold and the money
used to defray the expense of warp and
weaving.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Club Women did some sewing, everyone
seemed to enjoy the afternoon and re-
GREETED that this finished up the Club
year which has been one of the most
successful in its history.
During the afternoon the Park COM
mittee was repeatedly complimented on
its efficient service in planting and car
ing for the plantssand shrubs in the
park: Few peopi& realize the amount
of labor involved NJ this public service
as it means continual watcftfaluess to
keep things growing.
The Rest Room committee received a.
great many compliments for its ability
to put into operation, so speedily, a
public convenience that is being appre-
ciated by the people who come to Au-
dubon to trade. or who pass through
the city on their way to different parts
of the state.
The Rest Room is open from loo
o'clock to 500 each afternoon and will
be open all day on holidays and when
the patronage seems to make it neces-
sary. The Club women are doing volun-
tary work as matrons, each one giving
half days time in alphabetical order.
The Rest Room matrons for the com
ing week are; June IL, Mrs. r.. Curtis;
June IL, Mrs 8 Curtis; June -fe, Mrs.
Geo. Dye; june Is, Mrs. Laura Della
hoyde; June 10, Mrs. Chas. Dolahide;
June II, Miss Davis; June IS, Mrs,

The Oil Has Arrived

10000 gallons of crude oil to be used
on the business streets of Audubon to
keep down the dust, has arrived. 1t
came little sooner than was expected
and the oil will be kept in the tank on
the Rock Island tracks until the sand
arrives. 1t may be possible that the
oiling of the streets will be deferred a
few days on account of the condition of
Broadway and South Park. A good
heavy rain would settle the loose dirt
that has been used to fill in the low
places on Broadway. The committee
having the matter in charge believes it
would be better to pay a couple of
weeks demurrage ON the oil tank than
to use the oil on the streets before the
streets are in proper condition. We
believe the oiling of the streets to be a
good thing if properly applied.

CAVALRY
 IN TRENCH WORK

Berlin, Nov. 9-Ger1nan cavalry has been called upon in the present war to perform duties of a character diff fering widely from those emphasized in maneuvers a few years ago.
 Only rarely has there been an op- portunity to launch the thrilling cav airy charges then favored. Instead, the higih-booted horsenen frequently are used both in the east and west to hold trenches and fill out the lines of the infantry.
 Emperor William in an address to the officers of active division which he reviewed in a Belgian town, said:
 T learn with pleasure that the cav airy fought brilliantly. The horse men in this war have been entrusted with tasks such I never believed possible It is perhaps my fault that the training in times of peace never included the duties which the cavalry are performing. The cavalry fought with bayonets and entrenching tool and General Won Merwitz tells me the infantry are proud to charge with | their brothers of the cavalry. -s'I hope, however, that the cavalry may yet have an opportunity to use their lances if we succeed with the help of the dear God who already has permitted many successes in surrounding the enemy
