DIR. SUMNER LECTURES

DR.. Sumner, secretary of the state
board of health gave one of his de-
lightful lectures at the court house
Tuesday evening. He is widely
known as an authority on sanitation
and his services are eagerly sought
throughout the Eastern States. He
gave the lecture he delivered before
the Better Race Congress last fall.
DR.. Sumner is one of Iowa's great
men and we were fortunate in secur-
ing him for an address. His lecture
is full of good things, and his sugges-
lions are so practical that the people
are at once taken with his theory. A
good audience greeted him and he
was given the very closest attention.
Much to the regret of those in
terested, DR.. Sumner was unable to
meet his appointment for Tuesday af-
ternoon at Watts Hall where he was
expected to speak. An impromptu
program saved the day. Mrs. Geo.
Weighton, who had only expected to
introduce the speaker was persuaded
to give a reading. By special request
this was a selection in rather broad
Scottish dialect. The quaintness of
the characters as portrayed by Mrs.
Weighton, who can read this story
as no one else could have done, made
the reading most interesting.
Mrs. Chas. Wilde who was on the
regular program sang two beautiful
solos and every one regretted that
they were short.
DR.. Franklin who had been urged
to fill in at the last moment, gave a
most interesting talk on Twilight
Sleep" Later number of subjects
were made the subject for free dis
cussion, DR.. Franklin kindly answer
ing such questions as were put to
him.
OF course there was some disap-
pointment over DR.. Summers inabil-
ity to speak at this meeting but when
the people were told that the failure
was due to a misunderstanding of
railway connections they readily
made excuses

REVIVAL MEETINGS CLOSE

The protracted meetings at the M.
E. church that have been in progress
the past three weeks came to close
with the service on last sunday eve-
ming. The pastor, Rev. Giddens, la
bored faithfully and preached some
excellent sermons to good sized audi
ences. There was much interest
throughout the meetings and some
came out and took stand for Christ.
In many ways the meeting was a
great benefit. 1t will have it's effects
for months and years to come. Not as
many converts were secured as the
pastor and the people had hoped for,
but inasmuch as the work was for the
Master it is not for us to Judge the
extent of the influence of the gospel
that was so plainly preached.
The pastor labored diligently and
made personal call at practically
every home in Audubon. Many peo-
pie informed him that he was the
first pastor that had ever called at
their homes. We are certain of one
thing, that it will not be the last
time as long as Rev. Jackson Gid
dens is pastor of the Audubon M. E
church.

STUART HIGH SCHOOL VS.
AUDUBON HIGH SCHOOL

The first of series of debates in
which Audubon High will engage
this winter occures in the Presbyter-
ian church, Friday evening, January
29th, at o'clock.
Audubon High is in it's first year
of debate work, having just recently
become member of the Iowa High
Debating League, an organization
schools of the state. Stuart is also
tivity for the first time; consequently
neither side will have any advant-
age in experience.
The question under discussion is,
Resolved: that immigration should
be further restricted by a literary
test" The question is up to date in
every respect. The immigration bill
with literary clause has just passed
both houses in Congress and now
awaits the signature or veto of Pres.
Wilson. Audubon defends the mega
tive.
Audubon team Friday night con-
sists of Walter Kester, Roy Jensen,
Holger Jensen and John Rutherford.
The boys have been at work for
about two months and with their
natural talents for debating, ought
to make fine showing against
Stuart.
Ii the boys can win Friday night
they will be matched against some
other school, thus working toward
the championship of the state. All
that they ask is that everyone come
out to hear good live discussion
and witness Stuart's defeat Admis-
sion 25 cents.

PRESS COMMENT

Cousins at Primghar-'Judge w.
ID. Boies in an impressive and attrac-
tive manner, introduced the speaker
of the day, Hon. Robert G. Cousins.
"All could not get under the big
tent, but the seats isles and all avail
able space around the sides We're
packed with people to hear the mas
terly effort of Mr.. Cousins. II was
indeed and emphatically a mostor
effort. No words of ours could do it
justice. Nothing that we say would
be exaggeration. He had a great sub
ject, and it was handled most ably
and charmingly-though feel
ingly and eloquently. He is indeed
an orator." We have listened to Tai
mage, John Sherman, Cassius M. Clay

AUDUBON MAN
TAKES own LIFE
Frank Smutney Shoots Himself at
Home of His Brother Edd at
Clarion--Death Results

Frank Smutney, young man who
lived in Audubon many years shot
and killed himself at the home of his
brother Edd Smutney at Clarion last
Sunday evening. He had been drink
ing heavily for several days. He was
respondent and attempted to pick a
quarrel with Edd who demonstrated
with him. He threatened to shoot
him, but was prevented from carry
ing his threats into execution. He
did however, go into an adjoining
bedroom, and placing the revolver to
his right temple fired bullet into his
brain that sent his soul hurting into
eternity. The revolver was of the
double action variety and two shots
were fired, either of which would
have proved fatal.
Frank had used liquor to excess
for several years, and although but
rs years of age was physical wreck
He was his own enemy. That he
could not have refrained from the
use of liquor and become a useful
citizen is matter of regret to all
who knew him. He was bright and
intelligent young man and had many
advantages that were denied other
young men of his age
A few years ago he was engaged
in the furniture business in this city,
in partnership with viii ,Coyne. They
disposed of the business about three
years ago. Since then Frank has
been going from place to place, but
made Clarion his headquarters.
His remains were shipped to Aud
ubon Tuesday and taken to G. w.
Hoover's undertaking parlors where
a private funeral was held. Inter
ment was made on Wednesday and
his remains buried beside his brother
Will.
Frank Lewis Smutney was born in
Carroll, Iowa, May rs. 1889 and
came to Audubon with his parents
about 20 years ago. His father and
mother and brother viii have pre-
ceeded him to the great beyond. Fam
ME and Charles of Lincoln, Neb., Ed
of Clarion and Mrs. Julia Warren of
Oakland, Calf, survive. All were
present at the funeral but the latter,
who was detained on account of sick
ness.

short service was held at the grave.
The deceased was well known to
many of the older residents of this

WILL GO TO CALIFORNIA

Nels M. Nelson has disposed of
his city dairy to Peter T. Haahr, who
for sometime has been associated
with him. The change of complete
ownership will take place March
first
Mr.. Nelson has been conducting a
dairy business in Audubon the past
seventeen years. He has made a
success of the business but on ac-
count of an attack of asthma he
feels that he ought to seek a differ
ent climate. He expects to go to
Santa Barbara, Calf, where a bro
Their and sister reside.
We regret to lose Mr.. Nelson from
our midst, but welcome Mr.. Haahr
whom we have every reason to be-
lieve will conduct the dairy business

AUTOMOBILE LICENSES
Must BE secured soon-Differ From
Last Year

Owners OF automobiles and motor
cyeies should remember that they
must have their 1915 licenses on their
machines by February is. This
gives everybody chance to get
tag, as the SAFE department in Des
MONIES is better prepared than ever
now 10 handle a pig business in this
inc, ana requests for licenses will be
ATTENDED TO promptly. The tags diff
rer materially from those of 1913
and lSl4. Last year the numerals
were in white on black background
While this year they are black on a
bright yellow. They answer the
purpose admirably, as the numbers
can be distinguished for quite a dis
lance. The change in style also an
swers another purpose besides that
of identification. 1t prevents a car
owner from using his last years tag
which might easily be done were
the plates of the same color Now
when a policeman sees a car with
the yellow plate he knows the own
er has his 1915 license.
