Twenty-Five automobiles, draped
with flags. bunting and banners, car
rying no less than 100 boosters from
our sister city Elk Horn, reached

$3.50. They were on a tour through
Audubon, Cass and Shelby counties
advertising the Elk Horn chautauqua
which begins July 18th and to con-
tinue for six days and also their 4th
of July celebration. They were &C
companied b. their band which fur
nished music in the different towns
they visited.
The Elk Horn boosters left home
at $3.50 and their days itinerary in
cluded the towns of Walnut, Marine.
Atlantic, Brayton, Extra, Hamlin and
Audubon. On their return home the
boosters joined the Audubon County
Farm Tour at the A. p. Hansen home

ANOTHER PUBLISHER HAS
LEARNED HIS LESSON

Every now and then you will find
a fool publisher of a weekly news
paper in town where he thinks he
is compelled to issue his paper oftener
than once a week. The Record-News
of Mt. Ayr, Iowa has been published
twice a week for over year, but last
weeks issue of that paper contained
the following which is evidence that
he, too, has learned a Lesson that has
been a financial loss to himself and
loss that the business men of the
town refuse to make up to him.
after this week the Record-News
will be published once week.
The conclusion to make the change
from semi-weekly to weekly was
reached after considering the propo-
sition from every angle and in view
of the increasing cost of everything
that goes into the making of news
paper, it seems the only sensible
thing to do. The publisher of the
Record-News has been reluctant to
make the change, pride in publishing
a full size paper twice a week in a
county of $4,000 population standing
in the way of a final decision to re-
duce the number of issues, but we
are confronted with condition that
calls for change and have decided
to swallow our pride" for the pres
ent, at least, and put forth our best
efforts to cover the field once a week
1t is merely question of increas-
in the subscription price, greatly in
creasing the advertising rate or cut
ting out one issue week"
