MRS. JOHN A. NASH IN IOWA

Mrs. Gertrude Nasn, wife of the
late John A. Nash, has returned to
Iowa to help the Iowa women secure
the passage of the suffrage amend
ment. For the most part she is CIV
ing her time to the ninth congression-
al district. She is expected to be In
Audubon sometime soon in the inter-
est of suffrage but we are unable to
announce the exact date in this issue.
There is no better argument for the
movement than that such public
spirited women as Mrs. Nash anu
many other former Iowa women who
now live in states where women vote
should leave their homes and come
to Iowa to endure the hardship, la
bors and Inconvenience of an active
campaign in order that the women of
their native state may also have the
vote. 1t proves that good public spir-
tied women not only will vote when
they have the chance but that they
will even work for 1t for their sisters.
The late John A. Nash remarked
during his. life, "If my wife wants to
vote. eerainly favor woman's suf-
frage.

NEIGHBoRHooD SUFFRAGE TEAS

The first of series of neighbor-
hood suffrage teas was given by Mrs.
F. s. Watts. Mrs. Gertrude Nelson
and Mrs Chas McLeran at the home
of the former on Monday afternoon
to some forty enthusiastic women
who are working for the suffrage
amendment which comes before the
Iowa voters on June at the primar-
les. The house inside and out was
|attractively decorated with yellow,
the suffrage color. pennants, striking
posters and large map of the United
States which gave the eleven states
having full equal suffrage.
For the next three weeks these
teas are to be the center of the social
activities of Audubon. The plan is
that every woman In the city shall be
invited to one or more of these teas.
The general public will know where
one is being held by the yellow dec
orations on the porch of the home
In which it is.
Keep in mind that yellow decora-
ton says to all "Come in. be social,
have a cup of tea, get some suffrage
leaflets and leave dime for the
cause"

PASTOR GIVEN FAREWELL

Rev. c. +. Smith, who for two years
has been pastor of the Evangelical
church was given delightful fare
well at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Butterton last Saturday even
ing when they entertained the Audi
bon Ministerial Association and their
wives at six o'clock dinner.
No sooner had the dinner been fin
ished when fifty members of the con-
gregation arrived at the Butterton
home to surprise Mr.. and Mrs. Smith
and to express their regret that they
were to leave to take charge of the
work in another field. The guests
brought with them well filled bas-
kets from which another feast was
spread later in the evening. Time
was pleasantly passed in music, sing
ing and talking over the delightful
times they had enjoyed in each others
society. Before leaving, the young
people of the church presented them
a handsome rocking chair and the
older members of the congregation
gave them a purse of $25, all OF
which was given as token of the es-
TEEN in which they are held. We
doubt IL Audubon ever had more
popular pastor and there Is general
regret in all of the churches that the
recent conference transferred Mr..
Smith and his worthy helpmate to
Blairstown, Iowa. However, his work
here will live after him.
There is work to be done elsewhere
so we cannot complain, but on the
other hand we wish him an abund-
ance of success in his new field of la
Dor and trust that his relations at
Blairstown will prove as fruitful and
pleasant as they did in Audubon,
where he will always find right roy
al welcome.

23.OOO MEN MOVING

New York, June 30.-Twenty- three thou sand national guardsmen from the de- partment of the east are now on trains racing to the border it was announced at General Woods headquarters tonight This number probably was largely in creased by the reported departure of a brigade of infantry and other units from Pennsylvania.
 According to official reports, there were Emore than 50,000 troops in mobilization camps in the eastern department tonight Of this number approximately 33, ,00O have been mustered into the service of the United States and are awaiting marching orders The remainder will not be able to leave for perhaps two weeks because of lack of training and equipment.
 Approximately 10 brigades of infantry and their complementary units are yet to receive the approval of the United States mastering officers. They include one Georgia brigade, two Tennessee regiments, one regiment each from Florida, Missis- sippi Alabama and New Hampshire, one Maryland brigade one District of Colum- bia brigade, one Kentucky brigade and two Pennsylvania brigades.
 General Wood received orders from the war department tonight to continue dis patching troops, according to the instruc- tons issued June g, which state that units must be sent to the border as quick ly as they are prepared. Orders were received to institute a rigid censorship concerning the future movements of all troops within his jurisdiction. He was particularly instructed to prohibit the publication of the ultimate destination of the soldiers.

MEDICAL CORPS READY

Washington, June 30.-Confidence in their ability to maintain the National Guardsman called into service on the Mexican border in good health and espe- cially to protect them absolutely from typhoid fever, the dread of all soldiers, is expressed by the army medical of ficers. This belief is based on the re- markable results obtained in the case of the regular troops.
 Surgeon General Gorgas has compiled statistics for the past year showing that in the entire United States army there were but eight cases of typhoid, a con dition the more unusual from the fact that the soldiers were scattered around the world-in Alaska, along the Gulf coast, in Panama, in the Philippines, in Hawaii-and even in China under all sorts of varying conditions of climate and habitation
