TRIP TO THE EAST

Mr.. and Mrs. c. H. Wilde and
three children and her aged father,
W. II. Bowman. who have been en-
joying six weeks with relatives in the
east, returned home Sunday noon.
Mr.. Wilde had not seen his relatives
at Amsterdam. N. ". for over six
teen years and concluded that he was
entitled to vacation. They left Mr..
Bowman with his relatives in Ohio
while they visited many points of in
terest in the east. After taking in
the sights at Niagra Falls they went
to Ontario, Canada, to visit the ex-
position in progress this year, and
here they saw thousands and thous-
ands of Canadian soldiers who were
in camp awaiting orders to go to the
front.
Their itinerary included stop at
Washington, ID. c., and trip to his
torical Mt. Vernon, returning via Day

hope that it will not be another six
teen years before they make another
trip east.

AUTO RUNS OVER CHILD

The five year old daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. John Larson, who reside
west of Extra was accidentally run
over by an auto last Monday. Three
physicians were in attendance for
several hours before the child was
brought out of danger. 1t seems that
Mr.. Fred Clemmensen of Elk Horn
was paying short visit at the Lar
son home, coming in his large Buick
car, and when about ready to start
home the little child ran back of the
car unnoticed. AS he left he backed
the car, both wheels running over
her. This morning as we go to press
we hear that the child will recover,
and is now practically out of danger.

NEW PARK SEATS HERE

The eight new park seats are a
fine addition to the park. There
has always been a shortage and this
year, so many of the old seats are
in disabled condition that the new
seats will be most welcome.
The board of directors of the
Womans Club were the purchasing
committee who made the selection
of the seats. and it seems as If the
choice was good as the seats are
good looking and substantial. They
were able to make their money go
a long ways because Mrs. A. e. Har-
mon who is one of the directors, Sc
cured wholesale prices. Mr.. Har-
mon gave his services in placing the
seats in the park. The money used
to purchase the seats was the pro-
ceeds of the last home talent play,

WALT MAsoN's WET WEATHER

The rain still falls when 'er 1t can,
and breaks the heart of modern man.
The raindrops slug me in the eye and
from my whiskers wash the dye, they
spoil the colors OF my shirt, and still
they splash and drop and squirt!
One fact keeps running in my brain
that people used to pray for rain!
The streets are running ankle deep,
and in the basement wavelets creep;
the roof is leaking. and the walls are
dripping, as the torrent falls. The
water streams adown the pane-and
people used to pray for rain! The
windows in their frames are jammed
and can't be raised, and can't be
slammed; the doors won't shut, or.
If they will, they stick like beeswax
to the sill. and one must find a
crowbar, then, II he would open
them again Such weather gives a
man pain; and people used to
pray for rain. bless the weather
man. his luck; the drawers in all
my desks are stuck; the grass is
drowned upon the lawn, the flowers
to sailors graves have gone. One
fact is driving me insane: The peo-
pie used to pray for rain!

FORD OWNERS ATTEND
MEETING In A BODY

Last Friday was a big day in Aud
ubon. In fact it was designated as
Ford day That make of automobiles
was SO thick on main street at supper
time ii was difficulc to cross the
street without stepping on one of
them. The day had been made a
memorable one by John Martinsen,
The local agent of the Ford, when he
invited all owners of Ford cars and
members of their families to eat sup
per at his big garage. Special invi-
tations had been sent out to each
owner lii Audubon county. The null
titudes that came made it necessary
for supper to be served at 4:30 and
serving was continued until almost
seven O'Clock. The spread that was
given was credit to the generous
hearted Martinsen, and those who
mad partaken of his hospitality were
not slow in showering him with a
wealth of compliments.
1t was estimated that no less than
600 people were fed. Following the
supper hour the entire aggregation
was invited to attend the tabernacle
meetings. They formed In line ar
the garage and marched in a body to
the large tabernacle where they fill
ed the entire center section. Not all
who came could be seated In that
section as many of them were COM
pelled to take seats in the side sec
lions. 1t was a big demonstration
and proved conclusively that the
Ford was in fact. the universal car.
A special musical program had
been arranged for the occasion. Mr..
in oil nile mi trI "a
number of Ford Jokes" that took
mighty well with the throng. Then
ne had them sing songs, and the way
they sang put the regular choir in
the shade.
The Ford owners had also pre-
pared a yell which was given in
most enthusiastic manner. 1t ran as
follows:
Martinscn! Martinsen!! he's not
tight
Ford car, Ford car, she's all
right.
After three quarters of an hour
spent in entertainment, Rev. Newlin
preached a wonderful sermon, ana
throughout the entire discourse the
speaker was given very close atten-
.tion. 1t was indeed a fitting climax.
to perfect day, and a demonstration
that will long be remembered.
Mr. Martinsen is to be congratulate
ed for the excellent way in which he
conducted every phase of the affair.
He certainly has the hearty thanks
from everyone connected with the
tabernacle meetings for bringing
hundreds of people from all parts
of the county to hear the gospel
preached, and to help create great
or interest in the meetings.

FRED'S COMMENT
 ON THE AMATEURS

Southern Bell will have an opportunity boys perfect percentage column when they lock horns today. The Telephoners promise to put up their best fight of the year in a supreme effort to gain some consideration in the pennant fight To lose the game will prove disastrous to the Hello boys
 The Cops were at last defeated They won two straight victories and showed no signs of slumping. but nevertheless they were the victims of Thursdays bat tie The "Sherlocks" must be watched as they will prove dangerous opponents to the pennant chasers.
 An average of 15 men a game is some strike-out record. Levi Smith has l1S victims to his credit in the eight games in which he has hurled for Mineral Springs in the Miners league. Levi must have their number from the progress he is making He is the dean of strike out artists in the district.
 Smith is closely followed by Roberts of the leaders of the Central league-the Pep-to-Lac team. This hurler has an even hundred to his credit and will undoubted- ly give Smith hot chase for the honor Smith is southpaw, which accounts for his remarkable record.
 Thomas will attempt to crush Pep-to- Lac's winning streak when they meet to- day. The Thomas boys have lately hit

This bat tie will be the center of interest among the followers in the Central league. East Lake will enter the battle today minus sthe services of their reliable first | sacker, McPhail. The big guardian of the first station has gone to toll in the wheat fields. Joe Otwell has been signed to HI hls shoes. Joe will have a big job.
 
 Kendale Leeman will probably be on the mound for Southern Bell this aft ernoon Leeman is an old-timer and should he round into old time-time form he will make the heavy hitters do some slumping.
 Wahouma and the Progressive Farmers will meet this afternoon Both are tail- enders in the City league. It is about time for the farmers to shove across a victory as they have q considerably bet ter balanced team than Wahouma. | Fair weather this afternoon will bring out thousands of amateur baseball fol- lowers.
