SOME OBSERVATIONS
Concerning Nothing Very Serious
But Worthy of Thought.

One splendid feature of the
rainy weather Of the past few
weeks is the fact that Front street
has been greatly improved in ap-
pearance - all the ruts and deep
holes being filled with water and
thus making the street appear
smooth.
Last Sunday was a very pleas
ant day for motorcycle riding on
the Front street sidewalk, and was
thoroughly enjoyed.
The constant drive for "thrift" "
is having effect not only among
the older people, but among school
children, as seen by the report Of
sixty-one savings banks formed in
as many Chicago public schools
last year. The report shows that
1858 children saved $27 1854,
and Of this amount $11, ,2OO.9O has
been transferred to regular banks.
Six pupils of the seventh and
eighth grades conduct the banks.
Any sum from five cents up may
be deposited, and as soon as a pu-
pills account amounts to $500 it
rs transferred to a regular bank
and an account with the pupil is
opened. 1t is reasonable to sup
pose that rural schools will adopt
the teaching of thrift as sub
sidiary course. The money could
be deposited in the local banks in
savings departments to pay three
or three and one-half per cent in
terest.
A friend of mine who loves
peace and quiet, as well as pet ami
mails, and is now enjoying CD the
music furnished by a "beagle
hound'' chorus, sends in the fol-
lowing soul-touching verses:
They bark a little, then bark some
more,
With a dismal howl that makes me
sore;
They bark a little, then they bark lot
AS tho they didn't intend to stop.
IT'S an adage true that the worm will
turn,
And we in anger for vengeance yearn,
When from across the shadows we
hear a thud,
And know it's stone or chunk of mud.
They amuse the sick and annoy the
well.
What the noise is like no tongue can
tell;
For of all the noises that ever abound
The worst are those of the Beagle
Hound.

COUNCIL ACCEPTS
THE SEWER PLANT

At a meeting of the city council
last evening the sewer system that
has been installed during the sum
MGR by the Lana Construction Co.,
was accepted by the council. The
city retains percent of the cost as
guarantee that the system will be
according to contract.
At a meeting OF the council last
week, the disposal plants were ac-
cepted from the contractors, Ward &
Weighton. The engineer, Mr.. P. A.
Edquist of Omaha, who had been
employed to oversee the construction
informs us that Audubon received a
splendid job and at figure much
less than other towns have paid for
similar work.
The cost of the disposal plants is
a little over $4,000. The cost of
the sewer will be within the engin-
GERS estimate. Within the next few
weeks a complete report fill be made
at which time the Republican hopes
to give to it's readers the correct fig
ures, which are not at hand at the
present time.
Quite a number of our citizens
were out with the city council on
Friday to see the workings of the
slIsh tanks and the filter beds which
seem to work in splendid order.

A CHRISTMAS PARTY
FOR THE CHILDREN

The Christmas Party at Watts hall
Tuesday given by the Child Improve
ment Clubs was well attended and
thoroughly enjoyed by all. The Ross
club deserves special mention as all
but two OF their members were pres
ent regardless of the inclemency, of
the weather Severe colds kept sew
eral of the Bethel members from at
tending. The town clubs were well
represented. DR.. Carrie Wood, the
speaker of the afternoon gave pleas
ing and instructive talk on THE
Care of Children's Teeth" She
spoke of the evil effects of the baby's
rubber-nurse-the pacifier. Referr-
ing to the teeth as little pearls in
the tiny mouth" and to adenoids as
"the nasty curtain over the window
that the little pearls have for get
ting air when the door is shut" The
speaker was thoroughly familiar
with her subject and covered many
other practical points that should be
known to every mother. She was
given a hearty applause and all
agreed her talk, was worth coming a
long distance to hear.
Next came the distributing of the
presents from the pretty Christmas
tree which brought sunshine to about
fifty little dimpled faces. Chicken
sandwiches, salad, cake and coffee
were served to all.
Twelve of the forty women pres
emit were mothers of but one child.
Seven of them had two children and
seven had three. Mrs. d. w. RAN
dolph carried off the honors as she
is mother of nine children and is in
deed young looking grandmother.

HOME MAKING
GETS ITS DAY
Arrangements Are Completed for a
Home Economies Short Course
for This Community

Home making, perhaps the most
important business of this commun-
ity, is to have its day here, i've days
in fact.
During these days, January 10th
to 18th members of the extension
force of Iowa State college will con-
duct short course In home econom-
'ics and give the women and older
girls OF both town and country a
chance to study the many every day
problems that arise in making and
managing a home. The course will
be under the auspices of the Short
Course Association.
There is nothing of the fad, either
in home economics or the short
course. No line of extension work In
Iowa is more popular and all the year
round it is in demand in every sec
ton of the stae. In some towns the
lecturers and demonstrators have
been obliged to return two and even
i've times to give continuation Of
their work. The course is not merely
cooking school, either, nor is 1t in
tended to furnish amusement for
those who attend. 1t is a serious
school of instruction in all the many
subjects that go to make up home
making; it is based on the fact that
home making requires intelligence
and skill and that 1t is worth a study.
The work of the short course will
be conducted thru lectures and dem
onstrations. Especial emphasis is
placed on foods, clothing and care of
children. The study of foods includes
study of their composition, their rel
alton 10 bodily health, their best COM
bina.lons and ways of cooking and
serving. Clothing Ia studied with q
view TO securing health, comfort and
economy. Children are considered
with references to their care, their
health and diet. Among the general
problems of the home. consideration
will be given to sanitation, home fur
nishing for comfort, beauty, utility
and economy, and the care of the
house. Some time will also be given
to the study of woman's right rela-
ton to the community welfare.
This short course might also D.,
called a home economies conference,
for encouragement will be given to
women of the community who have
had wide experience to present their
viewpoints in informal discussion.

VICTORY is SEEN
BY THE REPUBLICANS

At Chicago on or about June z,
1916, the next president of the Unit
ed States will be nominated. That
is the consensus of opinion among
hundreds of republicans assembled
at Washington from ell parts of the
nation In attendance upon the meet
ing Of the national republican COM
mittee.
Monday 1t looked as II St. Louis
had show for the republican con-
vention, but between midnight and
the hour of converting Of the nation
al COMMITTEES. Chicago was easily sell
ected as the winner. 1t was thought
it would take two ballots to decide,
but so cleverly had the work been
done that when the vote was taken
Chicago won on the first ballot, leav-
ing a lot of Chicago friends out on
the limbs, but that's politics.
In selecting June7, week before
the democrats meet in st. Louis.
astute politics was played. Only once
since Lincoln's time have the demo-
Gratis proceeded the republicans in q
national convention and that was in
the first Cleveland administration.
Even though 1t might interfere with
presidential primaries in South Da-
kota and West Virginia, 1t was the
almost unanimous opinion of the ma
tional committeeman that the repub-
lican convention should be first.

resulted in jury failing to agree.
The case will be one of much inter-
est 10 the people of the community as

MRS. LEES CONDITION
SOMEWHAT IMPROVED

This morning as the Republican
goes to press we learn that Mrs.
Mary Lee, who has been in a very
critical condition for several days,
is somewhat improved. The fore
part of the week her relatives were
called to her bedside as it was tho't
she could not survive long.
Mrs. Lee is making her home with
her daughter, Mrs. M. A. Templeman
Her two sons, Lewis Lee of Sioux
City, and E. e. Lee, of Coon Rap
ids, we're here until yesterday when
they returned to their homes until
they are again requested to come.
Because of her advanced years, it
is hardly probable that she can re-
cover though she might still be able
to improve to some extent for time
at least. The attending physician
and friends hope that her recovery
may be permanent
