A PLEASANT SOCIAL AFFAIR

A very delightful social gathering
was that of last Saturday evening
when Congressman and Mrs. W. r..
Green entertained number of their
friends at $3.50 dinner at the Park
Hotel. Covers were laid for thirty
six.
A five course dinner was served
The guests were all seated at one
large table in the center of the spac-
ious DINING room. At the head of
the table sat Mr.. Green, while at the
lower end sat Mrs. Green. and dur
ing the two hours that followed all
went merry at the dinner, which had
been especially prepared for the oc-
casion, was being served by attentive
and painstaking servants.
Scarcely had the last course been
served when Mr.. Green in a happy
and pleasant manner acted as toast
master and called on those about the
festive board to respond extemporan-
eously to a number of toasts.
Rev. McDade, of Atlantic, district
superintendent of the Methodist
church was the first to respond. Then
followed Rev. Greenlee, Rev. Cid
dens, Ella M. Stearns,- Chas. S. White
s. c. Kerberg, DR.. Brooks and ii. J,
Mantz. The lateness of the hour
prevented others from being called
upon.
Mr. and Mrs. Green took this novel
and unique way of informing their
friends OF their intention of leaving
Audubon. Mr.. Green stated that
circumstances were such that it re-
CURED the removal of his family to
Council Bluffs where they expect to
be located by not later than Septem-
Der first. He said the breaking of
friendly relations and life long ac-
.quaintances was not an easy matter
and he was visibly affected as he ex-
pressed his sorrow that the time had
come when his bushes affairs compel
led him to make a change much
against the wishes of himself and
family.
years Mr.. Green and his family have
been residents of Audubon. He came
here as young man and practiced
law. Later he was elevated to the
bench and for over sixteen years ser
we'd the 18th Judicial District as
fearless and righteous judge. Dur

brought honor and distinction to the
town and his family When five
years ago vacancy occurred in the
9Th Congressional District, Mr..
Green was sent to congress and he is
now filling the position with that
marked ability and fidelity by which
he has secured and held the respect
and gratitude of his fellow citizens.
AS the guests departed for their
homes. there were many expressions
of regret, but one and all wished the
family prosperous and happy fut-
ure, and assured them that although
they were absent in the body, they
would never be forgotten. Pleasant
recollections of the past will linger
forever in the minds of those who
have come to love and admire Mr..
and Mrs. Green. They leave behind
them a record that can never be
erased and the good they have ac-
complished in the community will
constitute lasting heritage of low
ing memory.
The best wishes of all Audubon
county will follow them.

M. l. Masterson was in the Office
yesterday and told us of the success
he was having with his alfalfa field.
This is his first year and the way
everything has turned out he is
mighty we'll pleased with the expert
ment. When he made his first cut
ting 1t measured "a inches. That
was Just a month ago yesterday and
when he was out to the field yester-
day morning the alfalfa measured
just thirty inches, which shows that
the growth was one inch day. He
will make his second cutting next
week. Mr.. Masterson says that next
year he will raise more than he did

NO MORE TIPPING NOW

The man who is planning to obey
the Iowa anti-tipping law after it
goes into effect July has lot of
trouble ahead of him.
About the first time after he for
gets to tip his waiter, as he has been
going, he'll get cold soup and soft
butter his steak will be an hour ar
irving and very likely as appetizing
as fried shoe; he'll have to sugar
his coffee himself and go without
finger bowl. When he rings for ice
water for his room, the bellboy will
lose his way in getting there and ar
rive about an hour after the guest
has died of thirst. He'll receive the
naughty glare of the barber shop
porter and nothing more. Indeed,
life will be sad cycle of sorrow for
the law-abiding.

MUST PAY TO HUNT

III you hunt or trap fur bearing ami
malls in the future in this state you
must have a license to do SO. The
state game warden has sent notices
to the county auditors of the state,
one of which has been received by
auditor Northup notifying them that
the law now that those who hunt or
trap fur bearing animals must pro-
cure license. The license is 81 for
citizens of this country and $40 for
aliens. Heretofore the law has not
required any license at all for trap
ping and the new law changes this.
Don't start the season without first
consulting Harry Northup.

TALK OF A NEW PLANT

During the past few weeks there
has been more or less talk of new
light plant in Audubon. Two gentle
men have been here at least two or
three times. They are Iowa men
they can operate plant that will
give a twenty-four-hou service. One
plant is certainly enough for a town
the size of Auaubon and about the
only kick that the people have is
that we do not have an all day SER
vice.

A MAN OF THE HOUR

Each succeeding day sees new i'm
provements in Audubon and as rap
idly as time passes the town assumes
more metropolitan airs. Yesterday
Evans Marquesen installed one Of
the newest and latest designs of ell
ectiic signs and tonight 1t will throw
it's illumination up and down Broad
way. The name Marquesen stands
out prominently. 1t shows up by
dag and at night II is lighted by ell
ectricity This is just another one
of these nov ell and enterprising Ideas
of Mr.. Marquesen.
