AUDUBON COUNTY'S
FIRST SHORT COURSE
Proves Interesting And is a Success
Regardless of the Extreme
Cold Weather

Audubon County's first Short
Course conducted by the Iowa State
College at Ames had it's opening ses-
sion Monday afternoon and is being
conducted throughout the entire
week. The attendance has been very
good and from every viewpoint the
venture is a success. Monday and
Tuesday the attendance was splendid
but the blizzard yesterday interferred
considerably. Practically all of the
demonstrations are being held in the
pavilion and art hall at the fair
grounds, while the domestic science
department is conducted in the Sun
day school room of the Presbyterian
church, and this department has
created extraordinary interest among
the women folks of the community
| An able corps of instructors and
several assistants arrived on the
scene Sunday and all of them were
ready for the weeks work when the
first program was given Monday af-
ternoon.
The evening programs have also
been of exceptional merit. Monday
evening, DR.. Charles S. Lyles of Man
ming lectured at the Nj. e. church on
the subject entitled Three Things
Every Boy Must Have"
II was one of the rare treats that
Audubon folks have enjoyed. Those
who heard it pronounce it one of the
most entertaining, instructive and
| polished lectures of the week. Every
sentence was a polished gem and ev-
| cry word was like new minted dol
lar. 1t literally breathed the atmos-
phere of the farm. So real did he
picture the room of the farm boy that
one boy in the audience forgot him.
thing was on the pulpit beside the
speaker.
The entire message of the lecture
was a plea to make the farm home
so comfortable that the boy will not
go to town for the very things that
may be provided at home so that the
parents may keer the boy and have
all OF the heartaches eliminated.
The second fact plead for was that
the rural church and school be made
community center, and the homes.
too, opened for the same excitement
and legitimate entertainment that ev-
cry normal boy must have.
DR.. Lyles makes chums of the
boys, goes into their rooms and in
vites them to his study. In fact his
entire lecture treated on the boys
| life on the farm, in a manner that
brought conviction to his hearers.
Tuesday evening Prof. NJ l.. Bow
man was to lecture at the Presby-
terrain church but having failed TO
make railway connections at FIT.
Dodge was unable to fill his appoint
ment Rev. J. III. Freedline of Guth-
rie Center was in the city and he was
prevailed upon to fill the date. He
gave very splendid lecture on
Give P's in Pod" He was well
received aifd it2gave. his former
friends much pleasure to hear him
again.
On account of the severe winter
weather the program for last evening
was cancelled, but the programs for
the balance of the week will 0
doubt be carried out as scheduled. !,

ROSS POST oFEoE ROBBED

The post Office at foss, now located
in the hardware stof of VIM. Bauer,
was robbed some tine during Friday
night. A dance was held at the hall
that night and a number of people
were on the streets until after two
O'Clock in the morning. 1t is thought
that the robbery odurred after that
hour.
The burglar gainei entrance to the
building by using Apiece of steel to
push back the Yale bring lock. When
Mr.. Bauer entered bis store building
Saturday morning tie dopr was lock-
ed but small piete OF steel was
found on the door step which at once
aroused his curiosity ae soon dis
covered what had taken place and at
once gave the alarm, al$o informing
the sheriff and county attorney.
The door to the safe had been
completely blown off by the use of
nitro-glycerine. 1t was ,obbed of its
contents, $40 in cash and about $16S
in postage stamps.
The report of the explosion was
heard by persons residing in town,
but it was supposed tht the noise
was made by young people shooting
a revolver on their wat home from
the dance.
The work was without doubt done
by an expert safe blower. Nothing
else in the store was mdested, except
that the force of the explosion knock
ed quantity of soap md other art
icles off the shelving.
There is absolutely 10 clue to the
perpetrator of the robbery and the
officers are absolutely IN the dark.
About seven weeks ago the Ross
post office was robbed Ibut Bert Bar
rows was later caughtand confessed
to entering the buildiig. He is now
at the asylum at Clainda, but may
later be prosecuted OF the charge of
breaking and enterins.

Mrs F. S. Watts entertained at
dinner Sunday evening in honor of
Prof. Neale S. Knowles of Iowa City
College who is here conducting the
Home Economics of the Audubon
County Short Course.
1t may be interesting to those who
have followed the child welfare move
ment in Iowa to learn that Prof.
Knowles was one Of the first to- see
good in the Baby Health Contest plan.
1t was through her Influence that
space was given for the first contest
in the State college building on the
state fair grounds. She also assisted
financially and otherwise to make it
a success.
Prof. Knowles is one of the truly
great women of Iowa and is doing a
tremendous work in educating the

SNOW IN CALIFORNIA

Mrs. ]. r. Chandler received let
ter from Mrs. w. s. Thomas at Los
Angeles, Calf, last week in which
she says. among other things:
I'VE had a freak storm here Thurs
day night 1t showed until the noun
tains were white as a snowbank from
the top down to the level. there being
warm and did no harm. My tomato
vines are still in bloom and flowers
are in bloom. OF course we did feel
chilly when in a draft, and on some
of the low places it did freeze ice.
The orange trees are beautiful now
with their golden fruit. We will have
some this yesr in our young groves.
We are glad to see them commence

BUTTON IN CHILDs THROAT

Mable, the four year old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. l. N. Heiken, who
live near Melville Center swallowed
a button about three weeks ago that
became lodged in the throat, and in
spite of all that could be done for
the child, it has been impossible to
dislodge the obstruction. Yesterday
it was deemed necessary to perform
an operation, so DR.. Becker of Allan
tic came to assist DR.. Fulton, but the
severe snow storm prevented thephy-
sicians from getting to the home.
Last night the child was better
than she had been at any time since
the accident and 1t may be that the
obstruction is going down of its own
accord. 1t is to be hoped the litt,a
one will recover and that an opera
Ition will not be necessary.

One OF AUDUBON'S
GREAT INDUSTRIES
Owners Re-equiping Plant to; Make
1t Second to None In the State
of Iowa

The Audubon Canning factory that
for years has been one OF the leading
industries of the town, employing
from 1870 to $50 persons during the
operating season, is installing new
machinery which will greatly in
crease the capacity of the plant for
1916, and to also facilitate matters
in the handling of the products in the
various departments, through which
it must pass before it is ready to be
shipped to the wholesalers.
The factory is operated by r. j.
Loveland and Chas. Van Gorder, the
former gentleman being the manager,
who is recognized in all corners of
the state of Iowa as man who
knows good corn and who has a
thorough knowledge of the corn can
ming business.
Among the most important chang
es to take place is the installation of
new cutting machines and sanitary
six cylinder filler which is to sup
plant the four cylinder machine
which has been in use for years. but
has become obsolete and entirely in
adequate to the present demands of
the factory.
Two new sealing machines are al
so included in the equipment. These
machines seal the can without the
use of solder or acid, making a pack
that is absolutely sanitary and very
desirable. There are also three ad-
ditional cooking retorts. With the
old method 1t was possible to handle
70 cans per minute but the new
process increases the capacity to 100
cans per minute.
There is to be new automatic
can conveyor which is TO carry the
empty tin cans from the car direct
ly to the filler. This is to be operated
by motor power. Such extensive i'm
provements necessitates the expend-
iture of large amount Of money,
but the owners have confidence in the
town and the community and their
ability to place on the market pro-
duct that is second to none in the
state.
Manager Loveland has Just finish
ed a thorough test of the seed corn
for next year and finds that the quail
ity Is much better than in former
years which is very encouraging in
face of the backward season through
which we have just passed. This
seed is furnished to the growers at
$500 per bushel. The factory will
pay $500 ton for corn during 1916
this price being identical with that
paid last year.
Contracts are already being made
for next year. The company hopes
to increase the acreage over last
year and plans to have not less than
$50 acres.
5000 cases of last years pack
were recently sold to large whole
sale house at Los Angeles, Calf.
which is now being shipped in re-
'frigerator cars. The shipment is of
splendid quality and the choice of
the entire seasons out put.
