Virgil Austen has returned from the
Yakima country and was calling on old
friends in Frankton last week.
The school board has consented to
furnish the necessary folding chairs
that are needed when pubic gatherings
of any kind are held in the school house.
A good proposition.
We have said lots of hard things
about our bad roads and the road bosses
down this way, but we will say this
much, that Warren Miller, the present
road supervisor, has done better work
and more Of il than the other road
bosses that we have ever had all put
together.
j. +. Mason is making some improve
ments to his house. Those things all
help to make the highway look better.
This is good roads day. Is everybody

WRONG IMPRESSION PREVAILS

An impression prevails in Audubon
that the free public library is not be-
ing used to any great extent. How
this impression was created we can
not understand. In the first place il
must be understood that a public
library is not a place of amusement
or entertainment. 1t is however, a
place where people may spend time
to read and amuse themselves. The
place is much more popular than
many people might suppose.
Having heard these uncompliment-
airy remarks, j. E. Kerwin, secretary
of the library board investigated the
report from libraries in other cities,
in order to make comparison. He
found the following interesting facts:
Boone, a city of $500 people, had
circulation in books issued from
their library last year of 14,SS2;
had a circulation of INA; Colfax
with a population of 2553 had cir
culation of 5,S49; Eagle Grove with
a population of 1922 had a circula-
ton of 1882; Fairfield with popula-
ton of 5000 had circulation of
0,671 and Haywaroen with popula-
ton of 2019 had circulation of 6,
TAT. This compared to Audubon with
population of 1928 and a circula-
ton of over $4,000 for the same per-
iod makes a striking contrast. Fur
thermore, the circulation of books
from the Audubon library for the
months of January, February and
March, show a circulation of 5,S2S,
which shows a marked increase over
last year.
We do not believe the criticism re-
garding the library is just. Neither
are the statements which have been
circulated, bourn out by the facts.
The free library in Audubon is well
patronized and will be more so from
time to time.
Beginning this week the library
will be open on Monday afternoons of
each week, which has not been the
case heretofore.

S25, 900 MERRY-GO-ROUND

The Parker Pacific Carnival Com
pany, which is operated for the sea-
son of 1915 in conjunction with the
Yankee Robinson circus, has the
largest merry-go-round ever manu-
featured. This machine is of the -four
abreast type-the very latest pattern,
has the largest organ ever construct
ed and is illuminated by over one
thousand electric lights.
This merry-go-round will undoubt-
eddy be located in the center of the
town the day the big Yankee Robin
son Circus exhibits at Audubon AprlS
26. There will be something doing
all day circus day. No waits this
time. The carnival will open at s
O'Clock in the morning and exhibit
until parade time. The parade and
free exhibitions over the doors of the
big three ring circus, with its trained
animals, wild west and circus proper
will be opened.
The carnival will open for the pub
lie Immediately after the circus ex-
hibition in the afternoon.

WORK ON NEW CLUB HOUSE

Work on the new club house to be
erected by the Audubon Country Club
at an expense of $500, has already
begun. Plans and specifications were
submitted to number of contractors
and at letting of the bid recently
A. H. Dollahide was awarded the con-
tract, his bid being 1929. The con-
tract calls for completion within 40
days.
The main building is to be 16x24
with twelve foot porch on the east
and south sides. The building will
be built into the side hill about the
middle of the golf grounds, and with
the basement will resemble a two
story building from the south. The
basement will be 15x36. In the base
ment will be 80 lockers, two shower
baths, two toilets and two dressing
rooms.
The plumbing contract has not yet
been let. Neither has the furniture
for the building been purchased. The
building is designed to meet present
requirements and as the Club men,
bership increases, the building can be
enlarged. Many of the members had
hoped the main room would be larger
but with the use of the wide porches,
the building is of adequate size, for
the present at least.
The Club has reason to feel proud
of their efforts, and when the Club
house has been completed it will
prove a delight and a convenience to
each and every member.

OUR SENATOR MAKES GOOD

The legislature having been in ses-
sion in Des Moines the past three
months, completed it's labors last
Saturday. Many new bills have been
pat on the statute books, many of
them new, while old laws have been
strengthened. The member in the
senate, Hon. J. w. Foster of Guthrie
Center who represented this senator
isl district was among the leaders in
the upper branch of Iowa's law maxi
ing body. Early in the session it was
conceded by all that Mr.. Foster was
the best posted man in the senate.
He was put on a number of the most
important committees. Whenever a
measure of importance to the state
was to be voted on, Mr.. Foster was
invariably on the right side. Many
Audubon county people watched Mr..
Foster, and it can be said to his cred
it that in every instance they have
been satisfied with the position he
took. The entire district ought to be
proud of the record he made. We
hope he will decide to remain in the
senate for another term.

BIsGAARD CASE REVERSED

The case of Chris j. Bisgaard VS.
Frank Duvall which was tried in the
Audubon County District Court about
two years ago in which Bisgaard re-
ceived a verdict of $4,000 for false
and malicious arrest as an insane per-
son, has been reversed by the
supreme court of the state. Mr.. Bis
gard had for his attorney II. M. Boor-
man of Atlantic while Graham and
Ross & Kerberg represented Mr.. Du-
vail.
The opinion was made by Judge
Deemer and 1t is quite interesting to
note what he says regarding Mr..
Boorman's conduct as attorey in
this case. Among other things the
Judge says: Misconduct of plant
IFS counsel (meaning Mr.. Boorman)
in the examination of jurors on their
"voir dire" and in argument of the
case to the jury, was made a ground
for new trial. AS the case must be
reversed on other grounds, it is not
necessary to do more than say that
counsel went too far in bringing
plaintiffs poverty, and defendants
wealth before the jury; and in at
tempting to inflame the passions, and
arouse the sympathies of the triers of
the facts. Upon a retrial, these
should not be repeated. We have had
some difficulty in understanding the
case because of the method in which
it was tried; but the whole record in
dicates that defendant did not have a
fair trial. **** On the instructions
given there should as we think have
been a verdict for the defendant"
Judge Deemer is concurred in this
opinion by Justices Evans, Preston
and Sallinger

BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARY

Ollivene Childs was eleven years
of age Monday. To make the ccca-
sion one that would be remembered,
Mrs. Childs invited seven of her girl
friends to her home In the afternoon.
At six-thirty a delightful dinner was
served in courses, which the lassies
enjoyed in an unspeakable degree.
The closing fthe celebration was a
theatre party at the Gem, which was
followed by participating in ice
cream at Tricks drug store. Olli-
vene is right royal entertainer and
perfect little lady. She received
many tokens of remembrance which
she will cherish throughout the years
that are to follow. 1t was ten o'clock
before the guests returned to their
homes, and before the final farwells
were said, each and every guest
wished Ollivene many more such de-
lightful occasions.

TO BUILD NEW HIGH SCHOOL

The voters of Harlan at one of the
most interesting special elections ever
held, Monday, voted total of $120,
900 for new school buildings. OF this
amount $4,000 goes for new high
school building and 100000 for u
new grade school building.
The election brought out big
vote, $50 women adding their votes
to those of the male qualified elect
ors. Both propositions carried by
large majorities. There had been a
considerable opposition in certain
quarters to the proposed bond issue
especially to the high school, but II
fappears to have dwindled to almost
nothing. The school children Mon
day afternoon, headed by the high
school students paraded the streets,
carrying banners asking for the i'm
provement and II is believed they
changed many votes to the PROPOSE
ton.
The total vote recorded was 1,023.
The women voted 410 for, SO against
while the men voted 412 for and ia
against. This will give Harlan the
very best of school facilities.

SCHOOL OPERETTA TONIGHT

The operetta, which the pupils in
the grades of the public school have
been working on for the past few
months, is to be presented in the OPP
era house Thursday evening, April
22nd. While most of the tickets have
been sold by the children, there will,
however, be about a hundred tickets
put on sale at the door. This will
probably give ample opportunity for
every one to attend who cares to do
so. The operetta is to begin at eight
O'Clock.
The story of the operetta is the
same as that in the book "Alice in
Wonderland" The setting of the
first act is in a garden scene in
Wonderland, which wonderful coun-
try is supposedly located near the
center of the earth. A company of
fairies find Alice asleep IN the garden
and the operetta opens with the
dance of the FAIRIES about the sleep
ing Alice. Alice then becomes ac-
quainted with the various characters
that live in the mysterious Wonder
land, such as the Caterpillar, Father
William, The Young Man, Rabbit,
the Frog Footman, the Duchess, and
a company of others. Her experiences
are very odd in every case, and quite
different from anything that has
ever happened to her before.
In the second act, Alice takes tea
with The March Hare, The Halter,
and the Sleepy Dormouse. 1t is in
deed a Mad Tea Party" as the act
is called. In the second scene of the
ant &c, go tot, Cd hxvN he
Gryphon and the Mock Turtle, who
tell her fantastic tales of sea life,
until the ladies of the court come in
and dance for her. She next wanders
into the court room, where the Knave
of Hearts is being tried for stealing
the tarts. All of the peculiar people
she has met in Wonderland are
there. They do not hesitate to inter
rupt proceedings with their shouts or
approval and disapproval. Alice is
called to the witness stand-she trips
over the jury of cards-presumes to
hold an opinion against that of the
King and Queen-sinks down in ter
ror at the indigant cries of Put her
out"-only to awaken to find her
self alone and safe from the people
of her dream.
