LAST LECTURE COURSE NUMBER

The last number of the CONNER
cial Club Lecture Course is to be
given in the Presbyterian church on
Friday evening, March 18th. At that
time, "Our Old Home Singers are
to give musical program. This COM
pany is made up of five artists, and
the Redpath bureau informs the To-
cal committee that they are as good
as could be assembled.
The program is made up almost
altogether of old songs that every
body loves, and for which so many
requests are made in the lyceum
every night.
One of the members of the COM
pany will make little speech on
what music has done in the home; of
the impressions ii has left on the
minds of millions. impressions that
are stronger many times than every
thing that has been said; and infiu-
ences that often are stronger than
those of our dearest friends. The
entire program will be running mar
rative of song and story.
These are some of the songs that
will be sung, which suggest the char
acter of the program: Sweet Gene
We've" Ben Bolt" Robin Adair,"
when You and Were Young Mag
gie," and Come Back to Erin"
1t will not be sambre program
full of tears; but more comedy of
our youthful days. There will be
much that is numerous. There will
be five artists singing the songs that
everybody loves.

THE GOOD ROADS MEETING

The good roads meeting yesterday
was one largely attended and reveal
ed much enthusiasm. The session
was held in the court room In the
afternoon County Engineer Carl
Forsbeck in happy way introduced
John Dodds, connected with the
State Highway Commission and he
gave general talk on the present
road law and conditions of the dirt
roads in the state of Iowa. At the
conclusion of his talk there was a
general discussion in which the
township trustees and clerks took a
liberal part.
Rev. Lyles of Manning was also
one of the speakers and he made a
great hit by his remark: ITO pave
the way to glory is to have good
roads on earth" He was loudly APP
plauded and in his talk brought out
some interesting facts.
Albert Jorgensen, of Kimballton,
made good talk and gave his meth
cd of doing the work, and as 1t is
now being done in Sharon township,
Engineer Forsbeck gave very in
teresting talk on the expense of the
road work and what it had cost Aud
ubon county. He presented some in
teresting figures among them how he
was saving the county zoe to soc per
foot on corrugated pipe. He was fol-
lowed by District Engineer Martin,
OF Atlantic, who made number OF
splendid remarks and answered many
questions put to him by those pres
ent.

BIG PUMP GOING AGAIN

The city of Audubon has been ex-
periencing considerable trouble with
the pump at the new well the past
week. About a week ago the pump
was put out of commission and
since that time water has been
pumped out of the shallow we'll A
force of men was put at work the
latter part of the week and worked
until Sunday when the big pump
was started. Ii took only fifteen
minutes of pumping to put it out of
working order. The piping was TAX
en- out for a second time and 1t was
Tuesday afternoon before everything
was again in readiness.
This pump is source of continual
annoyance and expense to the town
and II keeps our councilmen guessing
as to what course to pursue in the
matter. There has been some talk of
replacing the pump with an air lift
and this may be done II the force
pump continues to break down. The
town officials are endeavoring to
make settlement with the firm that
installed the present pump. We un-
derstand the pump was put in under
guarantee that ii would prove sat
isfactory At best 1t has been a
heavy expense and in the long run
the town will be the loser.

JUDGE GREEN

Several months ago Congressman
Green of this district took up the
question Of the manipulation of the
Rock Island Railway and made an
investigation on his own account. He
discovered a great deal of crooked
work. He gave the facts as he found
them to congress and to the public
in an address delivered in the house
more than year ago. He strongly
advised an investigation. The inter-
state commerce commission through
Solicitor Folk of Missouri has just
completed this investigation 1t
completely and fully sustains all of
Judge Green's contentious. His
statements were below rather than
above the mark. He didn't charge
the officials connected with this man
ipulation with all the things of
which they are guilty.
1t appears from the record exposed
by this investigation that more than
twenty million dollars has been dis
sipated in salaries, commissions and
fees in the promotion of the schemes
of the men who have been trying to
exploit the Rock Island property.

WHY YOU SHOULD BUY
DE LAVAL

inventions, in consequence of
which the very best of them
are barely equal to the DeLaval
machines of ten years ago.
The DeLaval has received all
highest honors and first prizes
at every important Exposition,
Worlds Fair, etc., held within
the past thirty years, and is
the only separator that is
used in every country in the
world.
Ninety-eight per cent of the
worlds creameries and butter
factories today use DeLaval
machines exclusively.
More than 100000 De Law
al machines, many times all
others combined, have been
sold to date.
There can be no better re-
commendation for the De Laval
than the fact that the men who
make the separation of milk a
business use the De Laval to
the practical exclusion of all
other makes. They know from
experience.
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1915-03-11

The DeLaval saves enough
over any gravity setting system
in butter-fat, quality of cream,
sweet skim-milk, labor, time
and trouble, to pay for itself
every six months.
The DeLaval saves enough
over other separators in closer
skimming, in running heavier
and smoother cream, skimming
cool milk, greater capacity, cas-
Ter cleaning. easier running and
fewer repairs, to pay for itself
every year.
An up-to-date De Laval saves
enough over De Laval machines
of five, ten and fifteen or TWEEN
ty years ago, in closer separa-
ton under all conditions, great
er capacity, easier running and
greater mechanical perfection,
to pay for itself every two
years.
SON r. SEPARATOR FACTS
All other cream separators
made today excepting none, are
constructed upon either dis
carded or abandoned De Laval
