A Contrast

The Dominion of Canada has been cele-
brating her forty ninth birthday and
while it has a land area eighteen times
as big as Germany and population of
only about eight millions, it can point
with just pride to its achievementsin the
way of canal and railroad construction
and various other public Improvements
which have developed the rich resources
of a great empire.
The contrast between conditions on
the north and south border lines are
striking. Canadians have lived neigh
bors to us for hundred years on terms
of amity and good will. Law and order
prevail, lives and property are safe and
the people of the Dominion are working
intelligently to build up a strong and en-
during nation. To the south, Mexico
equally rich or richer, is given over to
disorder and anarchy. 1t is a country
without law; a nation without nation
al spirit and a continual menace to its
neighbor, which is compelled to main
tain large bodies of troops on its borders
to protect its people. The difference be-
tween the Canadian Dominion and Mex
leo is essentially the difference between
races and race ideals.

The Toll of Disease

The annual economic loss suffered by
tbs United States from typhoid fever and
malaria aggregates $92S, 233,SSO &C
cording to estimates recently given in the
United States Senate by Senator Rams
dell of Louisiana, chairman of the COM
mittee on Public Health, in an address
on Rural Health-America's FRS
Duty"
Senator Ransdell estimated that thu
grand total annual loss from typhio d
fever at $271, 932;SSO and from Malaria
at 1904, 904, $50, the total per capita
loss from the two diseases being SO 46.
By comparative estimates it was
shown that the United States govern
ment appropriated $51 ,O16,175 for in
vestigation and prevention of diseases of
man.
The toll from typhoid fever, as esti-
mated by the Senator, ought to be easily
reduced, as typhoid is a preventable dis
ease and medical science has found ways
and means to combat it successfully. Sol
diers are spared the peril of the disease
by simple and painless treatment and
among the first requirements of the
guardsmen in camp was innoculation
that made them typhoid proof The
United States government has not neg
lected its first duty to its soldiers in re-
spect to typhoid, for no one can enter the
service of the army or navy without be-
ing safeguarded against fever, which once
ravaged the ranks of the troops.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

Easter Sabbath, one of the most
joyous days observed by the church /!
What shall it mean to us! A writer
of the year $50 A. ID. tells what II
meant to the early church. "All Ia
Dor ceased, all trades were suspend
ed-the roads were empty of travel
ers, and the sea of sailors, for all
tried to be at home on this great day.
The poor man dressed like the rich,
and the rich wore his brightest attire
whilst those who had no good clothes
of their own borrowed of their neigh
bors. Even the children put on their
new clothes and were bright and hap
|py."
Our own church will try to enter
into the true spirit of this blessed
day, with much of bright Easter mu-
sic by the Choir and by the congrega-
ton. Parents will have the great pri-
Vilege OF dedicating their little ones
in Baptism at the morning service.
The Bible school will meet at 1000,
and surely you will want to be pres
ent!
In the evening. the people of the
Evangelical church will worship with
us, and Bro. Smith will preach his
farewell sermon. This will give an
opportunity to take by the hand this
good brother and his faithful and be-
loved companion, and to wish them
God-speed to their new home and
field of labor.
Remember the Easter program at
the c. e. society at o'clock, and try
to be present.
Devotional and fellowship gather
ing on Wednesday evening. After
Easter Christ's Resurrection Glory
and Ours.

JOHNSON'S ADDITION

The opening of Johnson's addition
to the City of Audubon, marks an
other step in the progress OF our city
and indicates that owners of adjac-
ent tracts of land are keeping up to
the needs of the city by opening up
land to public improvement.
No finer lots will be found any
where in Audubon than those which
are to be sold in the near future. A
glance at the plat, found elsewhere
in this issue, will show that the lots
are facing two of the important
streets of Audubon, and that the in
ner lots face streets of good width.
Another advantage to prospective
builders is the fact that water and
sewer connections are of easy access.
The plat consists of forty-eight lots
of which, 81 lots face South Division
Street and Pacific Avenue, and are
so $50 feet; the remaining lots fac
ing Golden and Johnson Street are
so ZAP feet.
AS an additional inducement to
buyers, building restrictions will be
added to each deed which will afford
buyers a protection in the way OF
keeping the addition from being built
|up with houses under the value of
$500 and from having old barns and
little shacks moved on to the premis-
es. This restriction is of no small
value to a purchaser in this addition;
ii is the first of its kind attempted in
Audubon, and is an example that
should be followed in the future to
insure proper development Of new
tracts of ground.
The lay OF the ground and the To-
cation of the same will be talking
points in favor of the purchase, and
we prophesy a new and prosperous
addition to the City of Audubon this
summer.

SAXON CARS USED
IN VILLA CHASE
OF Duty Sold Here by Hustling
Dealer, A. T.. Reason

Saxon motor cars are playing a
part in the chase of the United States
troops after Pancho Villa, bandit and
Mexican revolutionary leader.
At Ell Paso, Tex, where a large
number of troops have been stationed
since the border mobilization in 1913
three Saxon Motor cars were sold to
United States army officers before
the pursuit of Villa ana they were
used by the officers for trips about
the border.
First Lieutenant Guy H. Wyman
of the Eighth Cavalry is the owner
of a Saron Six, and Second Lieuten-
ants Welton M. Modisette and Will
liam A. RObarg of the Fifteenth cav
airy both have Saxon Four roadsters.
When the United States decided to
enter Mexico in pursuit of Villa and
the border was thrown into a fever
of excitement, these three officers
found a practical use for their motor
cars in patrol duty and messengei
service in and about Ell Paso. The
cars were pressed into service because
they covered ground faster than a
horse and because the sand and mes
quite of the border country offered
Ho oDSli uCliOH W
Dealer Loans Three Cars
At the same time F. o. Gavin, Sax
on dealer at FL Paso, placed three
other machines at the service of the
government, He took cars from his
stock for this purpose and offered
them To the army officers Mr.. Gavin
hesitated ii bit at doing this. but fin
ally decided to give them without con-
sulting the factory. When he wired
what he had done he had the I'M
qualified approval of II. w. Ford, pre-
sident and general manager of the
Saxon company.
Mr.. Ford is strong believer in
preparedness, and has himself taken
an active interest in the movement
for military training in this country.
He assured Mr.. Gavin that the Saxon
company stood ready to help the gov
eminent in it's great task of supplying
the flying column of General PERISH
ing.
The cars which were loaned to the
army were all Saxon "Sixes" and
they have found ready use In the
quartermaster corps. One of them is
being used daily by a major of the
department and il has travelled hun
dreds of miles in the last two weeks
