CAME NEAR DROWNING

Geo. Anderson, the young man
who has been in the community the
past two years breaking horses, had
very unpleasant experience one day
last week. He in company with Dr.
Elery were ON their way to the farm
of c. HI. Priestley. On reaching the
Botna river bottom, three miles east
of town they found that the river was
out of its banks. The water was
four feet deep on the bridge, with a
swift current. After debating whether
or not to cross the stream, which was
now a whirl pool. they decided to
unhitch from the buggy and ride the
horses across. They managed to
reach the bridge. Just as they left
the bride, however, large piece of
ice struck the horse Mr.. Anderson
was riding. The horse fell ard went
into ditch and Anderson was plung-
ed headlong into the cold and muddy
water. The horse swan to dry. land,
but Anderson, who had on a heavy
rubber coat had much difficulty in
saving his life and getting out of
six feet of water. When he came up
out of the water, he reached for a
piece of ice and this enabled him to
get back onto the road grade when
he regained his feet he was able to
wade out of water up to his neck.
He was chilled to the bone, and the
wonder is that he was not seized
with cramps. He went to Abe Ander-
sons where he secured some dry
clothing. after which he and DIR. Ell
cry continued their journey. On their
return home the waters had receded
and they came to town without any
further mishaps.

EXPANDING In BUSINESS

A deal has just been completed
whereby Wilson & Freeman will
come into possession of the Talbot
building now occupied by Downey &
Son as bakery. Wilson & Freeman
have leased the building for a period
of five years beginning with April
first OF this year. when they will get
possession. This large store room
will be devoted exclusively to the
grocery department, and the base
ment now used for the groceries, to-
gether with the main floor will be
used for the dry goods and millinery
departments. Trade at this store has
grown by leaps and bounds until
their present quarters were entirely
inadequate TO the demands. The ad-
ditional room will give them what
they have long desired, and when
the building has been remodeled II
will give them one of the best gro-
Gerry departments in the city.
Downey & Son have an option on
another location, and will probably
move to other quarters, though they
may not get possession of their room
Immediately.

AUDUBON MADE GOOD SHOWING

The sub-district declamatory con

for Avoca, Shelby, Walnut and Oak.
land.
Due to some business complica.
tions the Harlan opera house was
closed so the program was given
twice, once in the Lyric theatre
where the contest was judged, and
again in the Baptist church. This
made ii hard for the contestants but
careful arrangement had been made
to escort them to the places which
lessened the unpleasantness of the
situation.
The contest throughout was of ex-
ceptionally high rank and the judges
had difficulty in rendering their de-
cision The closest competition was
in the oratorical and humorous clas-
ses where there was but fraction OF
a per cents difference in the rank
ings of the contestants.
In the oratorical class, first honors
went to Arthur Mortensen of Shelby
with the selection THE Call to
Arms" and second honors to Edward
Thompson of Walnut, who gave
"Sparticus to the Gladiators."
THE Lie" given by Thelma Ehr-
hardt of Logan won first place in
the dramatic class and Helen
Thamre," given by Mabel Green OF
Avoca won second,
William Cleveland from Harlan
was awarded first place in the hui
morous class with "Plupy's Debating
Club" Second place was given to
Alice Hamilton of Griswold with the
selection. THE Coming-out of Miss
Cummings.
Those receiving first honors in this
contest will meet the winners in the
other three sub-district contests OF
southwestern Iowa at Atlantic in
March, there to determine the repre-
sentatives for the state contest.

simply the honor and do not go to
the district this year as previously,
owing to re-division of the district
and the entrance of more schools.
Medals are awarded to winners OF
both first and second places.
The people of Harlan did every
thing in their power to make it en-
joyable and comfortable for the visi-
tors, entertaining them in their
homes in such maner that there
will long linger in the minds of those
present pleasant memories of Har-
Ian.
Eloise Buck. our representative
gave "The Slow Race" in manner
very creditable to the school and to
Miss Steere, her trainer. The Audi
bon schools need not feel badly over
the defeat for where one is competing
with such superior talent as was
shown by the Harlan contestant and
others, it is an honor merely to be
in the contest.

RURAL SCHOOL ELECTIONS
MARCH FIRST

Fathers and mothers, l am making
the same old appeal to you that l
have made every year. Do not let a
third OF the school districts of this
county fail to have school election.
This does not mean to go to the cleo
ton to make change in the present
school officers, but 1t does mean for
the peolpe of the district to get to-
gether and talk over the needs of the
buildings and grounds. l hope to
see some decided improvements in
some of the out buildings for there
are those that is disgrace to any
community, they are a physical and
moral menance to your children.
have addressed the mothers too in
this article because expect them to
urge attendance at the school meet
ing. Some one has said that God
cannot be everywhere so he invented
mothers to assist him in the work. ("
OF course We are taught that God can
be every where but we do know
mothers can be very helpful in urg-
ing the fathers to give closer atten-
ton to school affairs. Let the people
of each district get out and talk up
their needs.
Yours In the work,
Ella M. Stearns. Co. Supt.

WILL HAVE A STYLE SHOW

Audubon is not going to be out
done by any of the other cities of
Iowa, large or small. 1t has been
announced that we are to have a
style show and it will be held in the
Gem theatre ON the afternoon of
March 4th. One show will be Siven
at $3.50 and the other at 4:30. This
innovation is under the direction of
department of the Columbian Club.
The Club has been divided into ten
divisions consisting of fifteen men,
bers each. Each division is pledged
to raise SIS which amount is to be
used in installing a complete equip
ment for a free public play ground
that the Club is going to maintain.
This division, which is the first one
to raise their amount, decided to hold
the style show. Mr.. Hoover has kind
ly given the ladies the use of the the
atre free of charge, so whatever is
taken in at the door will be applied
on the indebtedness. An admission
fee of 15c will be charged. The peo-
pie of Audubon and vicinity are urged
to patrohize the style show literally
and we have been assured that 1t will
be well worth the price asked for
admission.
