RECEPTION FOR NEW
MEMBERS FRIDAY NIGHT

Last Friday evening a,,large crowd
gathered In the basementSof the M.
e. church for the purpose of good
fellowship and to meet the new MEM
bers who have recently come into
the church.
The entire evening was devoted
to good fellowship. District Super
intendent Talley was present and
made a very pleasant and agreeable
talk which was calculated for each
and every church member.
After an hour of social intercourse
refreshments consisting of coffee,
sandwiches and doughnuts were
served.
Many of the new members were
present and it was pleasure to ex-
tend to them the right hand of fell
lowship. The recent tabernacle
meetings has brought over 1875 new
members into the church and Friday
nights gathering was an occasion
for rejoicing. 1t is the intention of
the pastor to hold social gathering
of some kind once each month. and
hopes thereby to bring the members
into a closer relationship.

INJURED IN ACCIDENT

Arthur Graves, son of Walter
Graves, the contractor, was injured
by falling brick yesterday afternoon
while at work on remodling the res
idence of Rem Phelps. Arthur was
doing some carpenter work directly
underneath the masons who were
building a chimney. About five feet
of the chimney had been built when
the accident happened. In order to
bring the chimney into its proper
place it was necessary to build it on
a slant 1t being cold, the mortar
did not stick to the brick and when
they reached point where there was
too much weight, the chimney top
pied over. There was little time to
give alarm, but Glen Kline and Mr..
Graves who were also underneath
managed to get out of danger.
Three brick hit young Graves on
the head and arm, cutting small
cash and his knee was also cut A
physician was called to dress the
wounds, after which he was taken
to his home. This morning he is rest
ing quite comfortably and will re-
cover without any i'll effects.

HORSE SALE YESTERDAY

The dispersion sale of 23 head Of
registered Percheron mares and stall
lions by John Cameron was held in a
large tent at the fair grounds yes
terday. A good sized crowd was
present and many from distance
came to attend the sale. Yet the
first sales made were to persons liv-
ing near Audubon.
The animals were In good condi-
ton, and in the main, the sale was
quite satisfactory, though the prices
we're not up to expectations. The
weather was not the best, and many
buyers who had expected to come by
automobile were afraid to make the
trip owing to the threatening wealth
er. The sale demonstrated in no un-
certain terms that a large sales pavil-
ion is needed in Audubon. We sim
cerely hope that the matter which is
now under way, will materialize and
that next year suitable pavilion
will be built on the fair grounds.

FARMERS KICKING
ON RURAL ROUTES

Rural route service for farmers is
the big matter commanding the at
|tention OF Congressman Harry Hull
Who was at Des Mofnes for a confer
ence Tuesday night with Senator
Kenyon. Mr.. Hull, from his past
connection with the matter. is inter
ested also in the fight against the
foot and mouth disease among cat
tie, but not having participated in a
regular session of congress yet, he
has no committee post which enables
him to participate in formal action
along that line.
81 want to get the entire Iowa
delegation behind an attempt to pre-
serve the rural route service for the
farmer, said Mr.. Hull. THE plan
regarding rural routes that is being
followed now means the gradual ell
limitation o sfthis service. Postal Of
ficials. sit down in Washington and
with no knowledge of the country,
redraw the routes from a map.
"They compel the farmers to get
their mail at distant towns instead
of their home towns where they ma
turally go to do their trading, and
in many cases they make the farmers
go half mile or mile needlessly
after their mail Packages are stolen
or destroyed by the weather before
the farmers can get them.
Every farmer nowadays is bust
ness man and he wants his mail as
quickly as he can get it, Just like
the business man in town. He has
a right to this service an dthe rural
delivery system should be strength
ened instead of weakened"

NEWSPAPERS CONSOLIDATE

The Coon Rapids Enterprise last
week announced that the paper had
taken over the Citizen, a second
newspaper which has been in exist
ence as a democratic paper for the
past twenty-five years. The field al
Coon Rapids is too small for two
newspapers and the consolidation
was the only sensible thing to do.
The old Citizen plant has been re-
moved to Nebraska while the sub
scription list has been taken over by
the Enterprise. This leaves a clear
field to Mr.. Henry who is recognized
as one of Iowa's most able editors.
He has a splendid plant, with all
modern equipment, and can handle
the work of the entire field to much
better satisfaction than under the
two newspaper plan.

THETHANKsGIvING TRAGEDY

Have you ever raised a young tur-
key. watching it from the time the
egg was placed under the old hen,
thru all the vicissitudes which come
to the ordinary young turkey in it's
struggle for life; watched 1t grow
strong, large and lusty, learn to
spread its wings and strut about the
barnyard, probably thinking of how
nice and juicy 1t would be when SER
we'd up on the Thanksgiving platter?
In your watchfulness to make sure
that he develops as you desire, that
he may be fit for the Thanksgiving
feast, you have learned to take pride
in his development and have become
attached to him, and you have feel
ing of regret when the time comes
to kill him.
Such is life in this old world. We
tend and care for our farm animals
that they may accomplish the pur
pose for which they were placed on
this earth, to feed the men and the
women who are the masters of the
earth. We may become fond of them
they may have gained a place in our
affections, but they were raised to
be slaughtered and slaughtered they
must be or our efforts are all for
naught and their purpose has not
been accomplished.
Wherever we turn, and in what
ever we do. there is tragedy if we
will but look for it. But most of
these tragedies are for definite and
worthy purpose, that something
which is better and higher than the
tragedy itself-or the object of it
may be accomplished. We must learn
to look beyond these tragedies, into
the larger and the greater things of
life and of the world. When we look
at thing itself we often fail to see
the reason for 1t, but when we look
further, into the results of the thing,
we may see the reason. So it may
be with the international tragedy
which has been going on for over a
year; as we look at the war itself
we fail to see any reason in or for it,
But If we look into the future, and
the effects which will grow out of
1t, and realize that no greater thing
could occur than this very war to
bring about the future impossibility
of war-to show that there, is anoth-

NEW CIRCLE ORGANIZED
IN AUDUBON SATURDAY

A new circle of the Child Improve
ment Club was organized Saturday
afternoon at the home of Mrs. r. j.
Loveland. This circle includes child
rem from three to five years of age
and is organized for the systematic
study of the greatest of all studies
motherhood, and through its organ
ization, mothers will be enabled to
interchange ideas, discussions, sug-
gestions and arrive at a more COM
plete understanding of broader pos
sibilities of motherhood, also primar-
lily to acquire modern methods of
child training that can be adopted to
the individual needs.
1t has been said, 1.-THE home is the
training ground of the nation" Ad-
hitting the truth of this, which is
self-evident, then no woman can fail
to recognize the great responsible
ties resting on all women and partic-
ularly mothers.
Because no chain is stronger than
its weakest link, so in its last analy-
sis, no race can be stronger or great
er than the quality of its mother
hood.
"It is the mother whose person
ality is impressed on the family
life, who creates the atmosphere of
the home which is the first unit of
organized society. 1t is the aggre-
gate homes or families which con-
stitute the community, the commun-
ity which builds the state, the state
which forms the nation, and the ma
ton which reflects the character of
its people as a race And so IL Ia in
the chain of organized society, the
mother moulds and Yields the first
link in the family, she leaves her
mighty impress upon the destiny of
the race. Through her sons and
daughters she builds for the strength
or weakness of the race
The five circles in Audubon will
join next month in Christmas gath
ering and program to be given at
Watts hall.

AUTOMOBILE TURNS OVER

Nels p Christensen, a prominent
farmer residing in Greeley township
met with an accident Tuesday eve
ming that might have cost him his
life. Not only his own, but that of
his sixteen year old daughter also.
He and his daughter were returning
home from Audubon and as he was
driving up the hill north of the Nick
Goodwin farm, the rear axle of his
automobile broke. This caused the
car to start down hill and he was
unable to control 1t. At the foot of
the hill the automobile ran into the
bank, with such force that 1t was
completely turned over. Neither of
the occupants of the car were caught
nor were they injured in the least.
Yesterday it was reported on the
streets of Audubon that the daugh-
ter was killed, but a telephone mes
sage to Mr.. Christensen last night
gave us the information that the re-
port was without foundation. The
friends of the family unite in re-
joicing that no serious results came
from the accident.

HOME TALENT PLAY A SUCCESS

The Breach of Promise suit given
at the M. w. A. opera house by local
talent Monday evening drew large
house. The play was given for the
benefit of the High School Athletic
Association, and the sum realized
will go long ways toward helping
the association meet its running ex-
penses.
Because of the sensational nature
of the play. which had for its star
players we'll known Audubon young
people, the opera house was crowded
to its utmost capacity. There were
many ludicrous situations through
out the entire performance. The
large audience who witnessed the
mirth provoking farce found that
there were no dull moments, Many
local hits were scored and from all
indications were appreciated In the
spirit in which they were intended.
