CELEBRATE THEIR
SILVER WEDDING
After Marriage Near Extra They Con-
tinucd to Reside i'm The County
For Twenty-Five Years

MIR. and Mrs. John Crees celebrated
their twenty-fifth wedding anniver-
sary at their home in West Audubon
last Sunday afternoon and evening
Some fifty guests were rpesent to en-
joy the festivities.
Mr.. Crees and Miss Lenora Herrick
were married on the old home place
near Extra, November IL, 1891, the
ceremony being performed by Rev.
Roberts, pastor the Extra Congrega-
tional church. After their marriage
they located on a farm in Audubon
county, and with the exception of
three years. have remained residents
of the county. They are the parents
of seven children as follows: Mrs.
Earl Twist, Mrs. Frank Tibben. Mrs.
Chas. Stanley, John, Ralph. Herbert
and Nellie. all of whom were present
at the celebration.
Mr.. and Mrs. Crees have journey
ed through these years together and
have been successful in raising to
splendid manhood and womanhood
large family of children They have
enjoyed life and prosperity and now
that they have reached the afternoon
of life they enjoy each others COM
partnership rs never before. During
these years they made host of friends
and the number of presents that were
given at the celebration Saturday is
the best evidence of the esteem in
which they are held.
That Mr. and Mrs. Crees and their
children may live to enjoy many more
such delightful occasions is the wish
of all who know them.
A special feature of the day was
the magnificent supper that was serv-
ed EARLY in the evening

MERCHANTS UNITE
ON DELIVERY SERVICE

The merchants of Audubon have
recently united on schedule for de-
livering goods to their patrons. Here
tofore each merchant made deliveries
to all parts of the town at all hours
of the day. Very frequently the de-
livery wagon returned to the store
from a section of the town and would
be compelled to cover practically the
same ground within short time.
The idea OF the merchants is to bunch
the orders They will make deliveries
at certain hours and all orders re-
ceived by that time will be delivered
This idea, if adheared to will mean
better service To the customers and
a loss of much less time to the mer-
chants.
At any rate the plan is TO begin
the new schedule next Monday and
in another column of todays paper
our readers will find the time of the
hours of delivery. It is to be hoped
that the people will cooperate with
the merchants to enable them to de-
termine whether or not the idea will
be feasible and practicable one.

PRIESTLEY SELLS HOME PLACE,

c. H. Priestley, who is credited
with owning one of the best farms in
Audubon county sold the old home

farm consists of 243 acres and the
consideration was $4,000. Mr.. Fry
turned in his $50 acre farm for con-
sideration of $4,000. Possession
will be given on the first of next
March.
Mr.. Priestley stated that he dis
posed of the farm in order that he
might move to town. His wife has
been in very delicate health for sew
eral years and they both feel that
hey ought to take life a little easier
Their son Percy has bought a large
tract of land in Montana where he
will so next spring and that would
leave them alone. Mr.. Priestley has
been looking around for desirable
residence property in Audubon. He
expects soon to close deal so that he
will know where he is going when it
comes time to give possession of the
farm to the new owner.
Mr.. Fry is to be congratulated on
his purchase. for the farm and i'm
provements are everything that could
be desired.

THANKS TO THE IOWA
TELEPHONE COMPANY

The Republican is greatly indebted
to the Iowa Telephone Company. the
operators and the manager, G. II. Vir-
tue, for the splendid service rendered
the paper, and the public in general,
in furnishing election returns Mr..
Virtue had provided extra help in or
der to accommodate the public. The
bulletins that were furnished We're
reliable and gave the news first hand.
All during Tuesday night bulle-
ms We're furnished and most of them
were transmitted to the court room
where a large crowd had gathered to
hear them. The closeness of the pres
idental race which developed on We'd
nesday made it necessary to answer
hundreds of calls. Not once did the
operators fail us, and through their
courtesy we were able to give the lat
est information to the hundreds of
people who called this Office by phone
to learn how the count was progress

SMALL BOYS FEET
ARE BADLY FROZEN
People Travelling i'm Covered Wagon
Pass Through Audubon but are
Later Arrested i'm Harlan

| A covered wagon passed through
Audubon the fore part of the week
but went through with scarcely pas
sing notice other than the though OF
| it being pretty cold weather TO be
travelling in that manner. However
tn party came to grief in Harlan yes
tefday when the sheriff and county
attorney took into custody man and
woman and two children all four OF
whom were in a deplorable condition
and one of the children, boy years
old, is likely to lose both feet from
having had them frozen. Grave charg-
es are to be filed against the couple
The man and woman are in Jail and
the two children are being cared for
by the authorities of Harlan, and ev-
erything is being done to relieve their
sufferings.
People living in Lincoln township
saw the travling outfit and on learn
ing that they were headed for Shelby
county, notified the authorities there
who made an investigation.
The boys s and years of age were
poorly clad The boy told the officers
his stepfather whipped him with a
blacksnake whip, and his back is COW
cred with black and blue stripes and
bruises. He said that after the whip
ping he feared to return to the wagon
and laid in the open all night when
his feet were frozen. The youngest
child has his feet frostbitten also and
is in great pain. The man is said to
have admitted whipping the boy and
said he punished him for refusal to
carry wood for the camp fire.
The man gave the name of Albert
Shafer. The story they told was this:
The woman's name was Drezey. She
has husband in the insane asylum in
Missouri. They formerly resided at
Fulton, Mo-, and at Jewell City, Kas,
where the couple met. They later
went to Bloomington, Nebr., where
they say they were married by Coun-
ty Judge Robertson. They had trav-
eled in the covered wagon from
Bloomington to Iowa with no appar-
ent destination

GOOD ROAD MANNERS
The "Road Hogs" Responsible for
Many Accidents. Chivalry
Needed

Etiquette of automobile driving is
one of the topics in the last issue of
the service bulletin issued by the
state highway commission. The
statement is made that a good share
of motor car dangers would be elm
mated if people would practice good
manners on the road. There is a
world of truth in this statement.
There was a time when a man with
an automobile on the country road
was a curiosity. Persons stepped to
one side to see the strange sight pass.
Usually they had to get out and hold
the horses head in order to avoid a
runaway.
There are a good many autoists
who still consider themselves privil-
eyed characters. They refuse 20 give
any share of the road at all to horse
drawn vehicles and they try to fright
en- an approaching motor driver into
getting out of the way. In the same
class must be placed the man who
holds to the road when a car in the
rear wishes to pass. the man who
blinds an approaching car with his
dazzling lights and the man who
hogs" the road on every and all oc-
casions.
A little automobile chivarly will go
long way in making safety first
something more than a mere slogan.

THE VOTRES WERE
LURED AWAY
BY False Gods, Says Senator Harding
Who Was Chairman of Republic
can Convention

Editorially assuming in his news
paper that President Woodrow Will
son is reelected, United States Sem
ator Warren G. Harding of Marion.
Ohio, observes:
Anyhow, the Republican party is
fairly united. Not all the Progressive
party came back, because it was not
all made up of Republicans. Not all
the former Republicans came back.
The political adventures and place
seekers. who play politics for selfish
ends only, knew their measure had
been taken by the Republicans and
they chose to risk reward in the Dem
ocratic party rather than among their
former associates. They were right
about that.
The harmoniZing of two great fac
tions was great task. No man in the
country could have done better than
Governor Hughes. He had to have a
reunited party to win. He had to
sacrifice many valuable aids to bring
ii about. Trusted party leaders of old
had to be put aside, and new and I'M
trained men took their places. He had
to anoint wounds in both factions and
stir the two to joint and enthusiastic
action. Whatever else may be as
cribed as contributing TO the re-elec-
ton of President Wilson, the vote in
the industrial centers gives proof that
the Adamson law was the lure of the
wage earners."
Commenting on the Ohio situation
Harding said: Republicans We're
more amazed and mortified than sur
prised by the Ohio vote. Students of
political conditions saw the trend.
The scare about Ohio was no make
believe"
Normally we are Republican. In
sober sanity this state favors Repub-
lican politics. A great state indus
trially, built up mainly under protec-
tive politics we heretofore have been
a protective state. We have furnished
all Republican Presidents save Roose-
welt and Lincoln We voted for all of
them, and never wandered away ex-
cept in the disruption of 1912. 1t
looked like we ought to remain true
to form under the reunion of this year
Our industrial eminence was at stake
But the industrial working forces lit
tie needed that. Work was abundant
wages abnormally high and the war
tide a flood. The lure of the moment
made us blind TO the impending NOR
row."

FORMER SCHOOL
TEACHER DIES
Succumbs to Cancer of The Stomach
After Submitting to Several
Surgical Operations

Miss Dora NJ. Larson, a former
teacher in the Audubon high school,
died shortly after five O'Clock Tues
day evening at the home of her bro
ther-in-law, Andrew Nielsen, fourteen
miles west of Audubon, where she
has been since her return from the
Des Moines hospital about three
weeks ago.
Miss Larson taught in the high
schools of Audubon and Estherville
for many years. Later she became a
student in the Moody Institute and
the Baptist Missionary school of Chi
cago, graduating from the latter in
stitution. She was then sent into
the city missionary work at Kansas
City. Mo. remaining in the work un-
til failing health forced her TO resign
her much loved work.
She is survived by her mother,
Mrs. Mortin Larson, three sisters,
Mrs. Lars p. Larson, Mrs. Allie Quin-
by, Miss Elsie Larson and two broth
ers, Charles Larson, of Kimballton
and Louis Larson, residing in Cali
fornia.
During the past year. Miss Larson
was called upon to undergo two sur
gical operations for that most dread
ed of diseases. cancer of the stomach
The first time she bade her friends a
cheerful goodbye, telling them she
felt sure her "house was in order.
The second time with that same cheer
fullness and bravery, she realized
that she was close to the end of life.
yet as she looked back from the edge
of eternity, she could honestly and
without fear say as did st. Paul. 81
have finished my course"
The young women and men who
have had her for their teacher may
still learn from her life lessons of de-
votion. patience self sacrifice. good
cheer and service. In these virtues
she leaves us all lessons still assigned
Her school is out.
She has gone home.
Funeral services will be held at
her late home this afternoon at one
O'Clock and at the Merrill's Grove
Baptist church at 1880, conducted by
Rev. Petersen.
The people of Audubon certainly
regret to hear of her death for she
was in every respect a splendid
woman. Her work in the school
room will live as a monument long
after she is gone.
