AN AUDUBON MAN
WRITES OF CANADA
Says Reports i'm This Country About
Canada are Not True--Al iud.
ubOniteS Safe

John Rutherford, formerly of this
county, but now of Dolliver, Iowa
writes us an interesting letter about
conditions in Canada and also cor
reefs a report about a former Aud
ubon lad being compelled TO enlist
with the Canadians to fight in the
great European struggle The letter
follows:
II. j. Hoogenakker,
Audubon, Iowa,
Dear ir:-Sometime ago | saw
an article in your paper with refer
ence to the taxes in Canada. | have
just returned from there and hav
ing land in that country, investigated
and found that there have been many
false and misleading reports cir
culated about that country.
In reaching Winnipeg, stopped at
the Industrial Building and enquireG
as TO the taxes and they told me that
the land taxes were just the same as
last year and the year before, ana
that the only noticeable change was
letters requiring three cents instead
of two cents. Also tobacco, cigars,
etc, were being taxed, checks, notes,
mortgages, deeds and contracts also
required stamps, which is about the
same as in the United States. Many
of the American people who have
been residing in Canada are pushing
to the front.
Now as a matter of fact, Canada
has enough loyal citizens of her own
and there are more volunteers than
they have need of. You hear little
or no war talk, unless it be some of
the Americans going in recently en-
quire about it. People all seem to
be employed, but the towns don't
seem to be booming. Winnipeg is
not doing the building she was a
few years ago, but business is not at
a standstill by any means.
The railroads are having more
than they can do. Train load after
train load of wheat is moving to the
eastern markets. The farmers are
so busy with their crops they don't
have time to talk war.
1t has been reported that g. A, Nc
Hargue, formerly of Audubon coun-
ty, was in trouble, that his oldest
son Harold would be forced to enlist
and was trying to get back to the
United States, and was caught at the
line. visited Mr.. McHargue and
was telling them about the reports.
They certainly laughed and said 1t
was the greatest mistake Of the sea-

Ill. Repentance More
Than Conviction

One may be convicted that he is
a sinner before God and not repent.
There are those who have carried the
burden of conviction for years and
have not yet repented. 1t is one
thing to be called at four o'clock in
the morning and il is another thing
to get up. The awakening is con-
viction, arising is repentance. The
man who does not arise when awak-
ened will soon fall asleep again and
he who arises before he is awake is ID
somnambulist This meeting is Gods
alarm call. Get up, brother. Re-
pent!
Repentance means more than
trembling under conviction like Felix
did when Paul preached Temperance,
Righteousness and Judgment to him.
1t means more than to be almost
persuaded like King Agrippa. He
was convicted but not converted be-
cause he did not repent. True re-
pentance is a Cody sorrow for sin
and a turning from it with works
meet for repentance. "If the wicked
will restore the pledge, and give

GOLDEN WEDDING

Last Friday, Nov. 10th, friends and relatives and children of MT. and Mrs. William Userv. gathered from far and near, to celebrate their golden wedding anniversary. Their children had planned the event in the form of surprise. The old folks ex- pected nothing unusual on that date content in the thought that they had spent fifty years of happy welded life, and their declining years were blessed With peace and plenty, surround ed by their children all content and prosperous. Never was a couple more surprised when the whole company arrived in a body and began to make merry. And such feast was spread as has certainly never been excell- ed in quantity and quality. Oh! you can form no idea as to the sumptuousness of that spread unless you had been there to per take of those d2inties.
 Their five children were pres ent. Bert and Hugh Usrey, Mesdames Joe Proctor, Pete Wilson, and Tom Fancher. Most of their fifteen grandchildren were present. Among the older people present were Aunt Bockie Poynor, Mayor Bishop and wife, Robert Clarke and wife, J o h n Woods and wife, of Farewell, Thomas Usrey, and Mrs. Vance DeWeese.
 MT. Usrey is "A years old, can ride horseback, shoot squirrels, sholder his axe and go to the forest and cut wood and perform most of the stunts he did in his younger days. Mrs. Usrey is 75 years of age, rides horseback and carries eggs to market, does her own housework and is always the first on hands when the sick need attention.
 Several substantial gifts were given including a silk dress for

Now that congress is again in session the question will arise in many minds, Where will the common people get off?' In other words, what legislation will be passed for the better ment of the people who do not ride around in S5, GOO automobiles and live in million dollar man. sions with a dozen servants at their beck and call? What will be done for the farmer, and the mechanic, and the country mer- chant, and the millions and miI- lions of people who live upright ly and contribute to the wealth and importance of the nation and yet are never seen in the newspaper headlines, or at the fashionable summer resorts, or in the expensive boxes at the operas? For more years than we care to remember the rich man has been made richer by the laws that have been enact ed in Washington, while the men in more humble circum- stances, though vastly iu the majority, have been allowed tc drift along as best they can.

ARKANSAS SUPREME
 IN ITS APPLES
WoN TWENTY-FIVE MORE MED- AIS THRN ANY OTHER STATE AT
 PANRMA EXPoSETIoN.

Exposition Grounds, San Fran cisco Cal, Dec. S. But for the fact that Arkansas apple exibit was not in place on the opening day of the San Francisco Expo sition, the state would be en- titled to the grand prize for ap- pies. Today the Jury of Awards decided in favor of the state on the appeal of John P. Logan, who had charge or the Ark ansas exhibit, and awarded 50 more prizes on Arkansas apples. This makes a total of 308 prizes on apples grown in this state and gives to Arkansas 25 more prizes on apples than any other state. In lieu of the grand prize the jury awarded the state two med aIs of honor, the next highest award and equivalent to the grand prize.
 Arkansas prizes on apples, in addition to the two medals of honor, consists of 9 gold medals and 174 silver medals and l76 bronze medals. The total IS II greater than was received by the state on it's apples exhibit at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition at St. Louis. A ruling made be- fore the opening of the ez- position provided that no state should receive Q grand prize un- less it's exhibit was in place the opening day of the exposition.

We hope every po-so5. i.- tEts town and this whole com- munity will be eating turkey on Christmas day. Some may not care for turkey as well as for a good fat chicken, but we hope they will clean up a turkey just the same. We have come to look upon Christmas as 9 national turkey day, and we don't know of any thing in the feed line that makes the average fellow feel quite so good as the knowledge that he is leaving the picked bones of Q fine large turkey be- hind him. So here's hoping the turkey graces your own table.

TIME 70 PLAN AND DO

The uma IS opportune For us people to get out of the rut and onto the high road of prosperity.
 It is all right to say that this thing and that thing ought to be done, but the only action produc- tive of results is to get busy and do it. Much talk and little do will never get us anywhere.
 We of this town ought to be making plans right now for the next year. We ought to be de- vising ways and means right now for increasing the output and expanding the business of this town and this agricultural con- munity, in order that we may take full advantage of the good times that are in store for the country the coming year.
 If we do these things right now, if we make a start and ac- complish something instead of sitting back and waiting for each other to make a move, we will be right in the front rank of the prosperous ones during the high tide of the coming months
 But if we continue to look wise and say nothing and do less we may gather in a few of the loose pennies that are pried from the golden dollars as they pass us by on their journeys to other peoples pockets, but the dollars them selves will hunt pastures green and new.
 Now we don't want to be sat isfed with the pennies. We want the dollars themselves, and the only way we can get those dol lars is to get out and hustle for them, and hustle a little harder and move a little faster than the other fellows.
 3 Who wants doligsss if7 tlaa ttlaiiss is eo5ffff= eo5fff= munity? Who is willing toreach out with both hands in deter mined effort to bring them in with arush? Who is willing to do his full share in an effort to make 1916 the banner year for this whole community?
 There are many ways, but no one man can think, plan and ex- ecute them all. It needs the hearty cooperation of every cit izen big, little, old, young, male and female-and 1t needs that cooperation right now. It needs l the brains of all of these people to get us on the right track with 1 full steam to go right ahead.
 We suggest the holding of a rousing big meeting of all our citizens for the purpose of talk ing over plans for future execu- ton. i
 We suggest that a number of our leading and progressive cit I izens call that meeting over their i own signatures, and that they invite everybody to come primed and loaded with some kind of a

INDIAN EXHIBIT At
LATE STATE FAIR
Bead Work Of Umatilla In
dians Is Unique and
Interesting

On unique feature of the state fair
in connection with the Indian exhibit
at the west end of the new pavilion,
not heretofore mentioned, was the dis
play of Indian beads and other work
done by the Indians on tho Umatilla
reservation in Eastern Oregon. A very
extensive collection has been made of
articles made by these Indians, such as
hand bags, gloves, moccasins, belts, leg
gins, tobacco pouches, cnaps, etc. all
heavily beaded in most artistic man
ner; also hand bags woven with husk
or raffia and hemp cord all done by
hand, the color schemes and designing
of the figures, all studied out and exc
cuted by the Indians, show them to be
a race of exceptional artistic ability.
The exhibit also shows several sets of
beautiful furs made from coyote and
bob.eat skins, and rug made from a
cougar skin with tac head attached, all
the work being dOre by Walla Walla
Indian, from the killing of the animals
to the finishing Of the furs and the
mounting of the cougar head, without
any previous training or instruction.
The booth constructed for the display
was altogether two small for as attrac-
tive display as might otherwise nave
been possible. Another booth shows
the rapid advance these Indians have
been making in recent years in the
way Of dry farming, by the display of
watermelons, caataloupes, squashes,
pumpkins, potatoes, onions, carrots,
sweet corn and other vegetables and
wheel and barley all raised by intesni-
fled farming methods without irriga.

cation. Still another booth shows the
industry and artistic ability of the In
dian women in the needle-work EN-
broidery, etc., and the canning of the
various fruits. The display in this sec.
| tion being such as TO compare favor
ably with the work done by white
women. This is the first year there
has been an Indian exhibit at the state
fair and the instructions TO have such
an exhibit were received so late by the
Mperintendents of the four reserva.
tions in the stnta, Umatilla, klamath,
Warm Springs and Siletz, as 10 give
them only about three or four weeks
time in which TO collect and prepare
their exhibits.
II is intended, however, IL it is de-
cided TO place an Indian exhibit nj the
fair another year, to take the matter
up early enough in the season TO per.
