The Club is making little progress
every year. So many big things loom
up in the immediate future, that the
organization promises to accomplish
more during 1916. The members are
becoming more enthusiastic every
year, and with the united support OF
all, we may reasonably expect still
greater achievements for a bigger
and better Audubon.
The officers reelected are, Z. F.
Bilharz, president, S. @. Kerberg,
vice president, J. K. Kerwin, secre-
tary and j. M. Renftle, treasurer.
They have worked tremendously to-

SHORT COURSE A WINNER
First Of Its Kind Ever Attempted In

Much Interest

Audubon county held its first short
course conducted by Ames college
last week. The weather was the worst
that we could have encountered. but
in the. face of all the drawbacks. the
success of the venture was attained.
The extreme cold weather interfered
materially with the attendance. The
farmers of the community availed
themselves of this splendid course
which was brought to their doors. and
they are loud in their praise of the
effort that the state agricultural col
lege is making. So we'll pleased were
they that they are already beginning
to talk of the course for next year. It
was absolutely new to everyone, and
of course some mistakes were made
that can be avoided In another year.
The ladies of the community were
as enthusiastic as the men and the
attendance at the domestic science
department was we'll attended.
The corn show took on especial in
terest and there was a splendid show
ing. The colt show was also very
