A HIGH COMPLIMENT

The Sac City Sun pays high CON-
lpliment to the father of our fellow
townsman. 8. c. Kerberg in the fol-
lowing:
President Wilson has appointed
j. f. Kerberg postmaster at Sioux
City to hold office during the recess
of congress. This is his answer to
the Sioux City politicians who told
him that the appointment of Ker-
berg would infiict a mortal wound
upon the political future of that
promising statesman, Thomas j.
Steele. That Kerberg has the brains
and the integrity required for the
proper conduct of the Office no one
seriously denies. Neither is 1t ques-
TONED that the appointment is likely
to strengthen the only Democratic
daily newspaper in the Eleventh dis
trict, the Sioux City News. of which
Kerberg is business manager. That
fact, however, does not please the
Sioux City politicians; for they do
not relish the idea of Democratic
newspaper that is also dry"

AUDUBON MAN
CALLED BY DEATH
Death Brings to Close the Life of One
OF Audubon's Promising Men In
The Flower of His Youth

Of AudubOn's Promising Men In
The Flower of His Youth
The death of Bert Dollahide which
afternoon was received in Audubon
with a great deal of surprise. 1t had
become known to many of his friends
that he was not enjoying the best of
health, but no one was brought to the
belief that his condition was so SER
ious. Sunday it was reported that
he could not recover from his illness
and this news saddened the hearts of
many. yet they hoped against hope
that the report was untrue. But the
hand of death touched him on Mon
day but a short TIME after his par
ents had arrived at his bedside. His
wife's parents left on Monday morn
ing and hoped to reach his bedside,
but before their arrival his soul had
gone to be with Him who doeth all
things well.
Albert Leroy Dollahide, son of Mr..
and Mrs. A. H. Dollahide was born in
Audubon county Iowa, January 22,
1884, and passed away at Spirit Lake
Monday March %, 1915, at the age
of 81 years and two months.
He grew to manhood In this COM
munity and was held in the very
highest regards by all who knew him.
March 20, 1905 he was united In
marriage with Miss Martha Clark,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Clark
also of Audubon, who was his faith
full companion and ministered kindly
to him during his affliction. For sew
~ n4I L. H.. Ga
ing health but bore his affliction un-
complainingly and was patient
through it all.
About six weeks ago he protested
saving faith In Christ and died happy
with the hope of eternal life A
neighbor of Mr.. and Mrs. Dollahide
at Spirit Lake sent this message:
about six weeks ago Bert bought
bible, he read and studied it every
day. Fear of death was not the mo-
tive which prompted him to do this
but a sincere desire for knowledge
of the truth which 1t teaches. He
was contented and happy and was
certainly prepared for the end when
1t came"
He leaves Borrowing wife. bereft
father and mother, one brother, G.
E. Dollahide of this city, and sister
Mrs. Ida Huntsburger of Gulf Port,
Miss, together with a large circle
of friends and acquaintance who
learned to love and respect, him.
Funeral services we're held at the
M E. church yesterday afternoon
conducted by Rev. Freedline of Guth-
rie Center The floral tributes were
beautiful and was a mark of his
sterling character which he built in
this life. A quartet sang several
beautiful selections. Interment was
made in Maple Grove cemetery.
The bereaved relatives wish to
thank all the kind peighbors and
friends for the kindness shown them
during this hour of most crushing
grief, and also to those who so
kindly remembered the deceased with
floral offerings.
Those out of town who attended
the funeral were Edward Gipple of
Winfield, Iowa; Chas. Gipple. of Let's
Iowa: Misses Minnie and Mary
Storms, of Milburn, Iowa; and Mrs.
Chas. Snyder, of Spirit Lake..

TO RETURN HOME SOON

Mrs. Flora Freeman who has been
in Chicago the past three months is
expected to return to Audubon about
April first. She went there osten-
sibly to visit her sister. Mrs. Spenle
but while in the city she decided to
take advantage of some vocal train
ing and entered the Hinshaw Conser-
vatosy of Music.
Mrs. Freeman went to- Chicago
during the early part of the season
and has achieved excellent results
in her singing. She possesses a fine
voice which is being developed un-
der the personal direction of Marvin
Hinshaw. Her advancement while
taking training has been very rapid
and Mr.. Hinshaw predicts a bright
future for Mrs. Freeman when she
has completed her course of train
ing.
Audubon people have always been
delighted with Mrs. Freeman,s sing
ing and on her return home we hope
to have the privilege of hearing her
on frequent occasions.

SALOON CITIES CRY FOR HELP

AS has been suggested several
times before and in different ways
the really big problem Just ahead for
the cities and towns of Iowa, in con-
nection with the prospective drouth
commencing Jan. /. next, is finan-
cial problem. Upon the handling of
this will depend to a large extent the
success or failure of prohibition. II
the effect of prohibition is to serious
ly embarrass many of the cities and
towns because of loss of revenue, the
effect will be felt in some revulsion
against the era of extreme dryness.
III cities go practically bankrupt be-
cause of loss of saloon licenses the
opponents of prohibition will be on
the defensive in one respect at
least
