LOOKING BACK 20 YEARS

Men whose political memory runs
back twenty years are finding close
and curious parallel between the
political conditions of 1895 and those
of 1915. The country then had a
Democratic administration --Cleve-
lands. The country today has a
Democratic administration - Will
sons. The country then had a dem
ocratic ariff-law-The Wilson-G Cor
man bill. The country today has a
Democratic tariff-law-the Under
wood-Simmons bill, Then, as now,
there was widespread unemployment
and deep discomfort all over the
land. Then as now, the country
had Just experienced sweeping Re-
publican victories in the elections of
the previous "off year. Then, as
now, the municipal elections of the
springtime showed the continued
sweep of Republican ascendancy.
Then, as now, the country was look
ing forward with eagerness to it's ap-
preaching relief from Democratic ad-
ministration and to the restoration
of the Republican party to power.
The political indications of 1895
found their fulfillment in the election
of Mckinley, In, 1895. The political
indications of 1915 win find their full
fillment in the election of another
Republican president in 1916.

YOUNG LIFE is ENDED
Answers Final Summons After a
Lingering Illness-Last Sad
Rites Held Today

Miss Hazel Settlemire, the 10 year
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. T. J.
Settlemire died at her home Tuesday
afternoon after a lingering Unless.
The deceased had been in poor health
all of the past year. Several months
ago the physicians pronounced her
case hopeless and for a month or
more her death was hourly expect
ed. Hazel wasea young woman who
had bright fnture before her. She
had surrounded herself with a host
of friends who are bowed with grief
in this sad hour.
Hazel Margaret, the eldest daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. t. j. Settlemire
was born Dec. "a, 1895 and died May
IL, 1915 at the home of her parents,
at the age of 10 years, 8 months and
29 days. She was born in Cameron
township and later moved to Greeley
township where she resided until two
years ago, when she with her parents
moved to Audubon.
About nine years ago, Hazel had a
severe seige of scarlet fever. This
developed into rheumatism and fin
ally ended with heart trouble and
dropsy which caused her death.
Six years ago, during special SER
les of meetings conducted by Rev. G.
d. Wendell the deceased made a
start in the christian life aud Joined
the Evangelical church. During her
last sickness she gave a cheerful
Testimony that she was prepared to
go to her heavenly home She was

COMMERCIAL CLUB MEETS
Plan to Oil Streets Abandoned and
Money viii be Raised to Use
Water to Keep Down the
Dust

The regular monthly meeting of
the Audubon Commercial Club was
held at the X. of P. hall Monday eve
ming. The attendance was not quite
as large as usual, yer much interest
was manifested. s. C. Kerberg, vice.
president presided in the absence OIL
E. F. Bilharz, president of the asso-
citation.
was read with reference to sending
the members of our fire department
to the tournament to be held in June.
Our department has done nothing in
the matter, and we would not be sur
Lrised If Audubon would not be rep
resented this year. The matter rests
until the firemen make request for
assistance.
The matter of oiling the streets
was again discussed. The committee
appointed at a previous meeting to
raise funds reported 1915 subscrib-
ed. Inasmuch as it requires oveS
$500 to do the oiling, 1t was thought
best to abandon the idea, as only
about half of the necessary amount
had been subscribed. After d gen.
eral discussion II was decided the
better plan would be to sprinkle wat
er on the streets. By using water,
the business houses on South Park
will derive some benefit with the 9TH
er business houses whereas Ii oil had
been used these business men on that
sti eet would have been without pro
lection from dust the entire Sc iso.I.
On account of the digging of the
sewer, South Park street will be dug
up more or less all season, and pract-
ically everyone at the meeting could
plainly see that they should be given
the same consideration as the bust
ness houses on Broadway. 1t is quite
likely that new sprinkler will be
purchased and after the streets have
sprinkling purposes.
A finance committee composed OF
w. j. Hamilton, Will Wilson and Jno
Preston was appointed to solicit
funds for celebrating the 4th of July.
A committee of five composed of A..
Fl. Roberts. James Lang, F. A. John
son, r. C. Spencer and H. A. Arnold
was appointed as general committee
to oversee the details of the celebra-
ton.
The committee on paving was con-
tinued and we understand that COM
mittee is working in conjunction with
the street and alley committee of the
city council. The general opinion is
that the paving will be ordered at the
next meeting of the city council or
as soon thereafter as practicable. The
committee on electroliers was unable
to make report at this time as this
committee was also continued.

DECORATION DAY ON SATURDAY

The members of the G. A. r. and
the w. r. C. have decided to observe
Memorial Day on Saturday May 20.
Memorial Day proper falls on Sun
day, but in many places the day is
being observed the day before. Ar
rangements are being made for the
proper observance of the day in Aud
ubon. A program is being arranged
and it is thought quite likely that
the business houses will close during
the program hour. Watch the Re-

program which will be in charge of
the Commercial Club.

SWAT THE ROOSTER

Just as soon as the Matching season
is over, sell or kill the ROSTERS so
that your eggs will be infertile. In
fertile eggs keep much better than
fertile eggs. Gradually the markets
are coming to discriminating price
on infertile eggs, especially for the
best trade. AS soon as the consum-
ers get wise the demand will be
greater. Several states have insti-
tuted annual swat-the-rooster cam.
paigns, and thus the people are made
acquainted with the value of the in
fertile egg.

VETERINARY DEPARTMENT OF
THE STATE COLLEGE

The stockmen of the Pacific
Northwest are each year demanding
better and better veterinary service
IN the conservation of the health of
their live stock. The State College
OF Washington has appreciated this
for number of years, and shown its
appreciation by constantly develop
ing and Strengthening it's Depart
ment of Veterinary Science by in
creasing the number of veterinar-
ians on its faculty, its facilities and
equipment for teaching its students
IN the most up-to-date manner.
From a small institution of one
small building, one Professor of Vet
Urinary Science and two students, it
has deyolved into a large, well
equipped department, having seven
graduate veterinarians jbn its fac
ulty, being housed in two large mod
ern brick buildings, and being sup
piled with the most up-to-date in
struments and apparatus for teach
ing both the theoretical and prac-
teal sides of its work, and having
enrolled in it AZ students taking
the veterinary science work, of
which Al per cent are enrolled in
the four-year course requiring that
they be graduates of high schools to
enter the department. There are
also between three and four hun
dred students in other departments
taking work along the various lines
taught in this department.
Its efficiency in teaching can
probably best be estimated by the
fact that of all its graduates who
have gone out from it during the
past Is years, over so per cent are
in successful practice. The rest of
the graduates are holding respon-
sible positions with the government
or various states and cities. 1t is
rather phenomenal that of all it's
graduates who have either taken
state or governm ent examinations,
not one of them has ever failed to
pass such examinations creditably.
During the past year many local
tiles have written into the Depart
ment requesting that it refer them
to some one of its graduates who
might locate and be at their serv-
ice. In some cases it has been pos
sible to do this, yet many places are
waiting for men to graduate from
the department.
