AUDUBON REPUBLICAN HAS
A NEW CITY EDITOR

Beginning with this weeks issue
of the Audubon Republican John
Horning takes charge as city editor.
He has had ample experience in news
paper work, which fits him admir-
ably for the position ON the best and
neWsiest newspaper ever published
in the town of Audubon. His work
on the paper is not new, for almost
sixteen years ago he began work on
the Republican. Since that time he
has held other positions of trust He
Will remain with the paper until next
fail when the voters of the county
expect TO elect him to the position of
clerk of the district court. -
ii. j. Savage has been with the
present management practically all
of five years, and he retires this week
TO take q much needed rest, but will
probably return to the position he has
SO faithfully filled in the past.
Mr.. Horning served as deputy clerk
several years and beside getting fam
liar with the work of the office,
gained wide acquaintance in all
parts OF the county which will be a
valuable asset to him in his work on
the Republican. We hope that tho
patrons of the paper will give him
the consideration to which he is en-
titled and that they will assist him
in making the Republican better
newspaper if such a thing is possible.
He as well as the publisher, will be
pleased to receive orders for all kinds
of printing, advertising and above all,
the items of news that take place
from time to time.
1t will not be necessary for us to
introduce him to the business men
of the community for his character
and ability has been well established
and we are confident that he will
never be called upon to apologize for
any of his public actions.

WILL ENLARGE BUILDING

j. M. Graham and Ed. Finch, own
ers of the brick business building
occupied by the Turner Bros. Bakery
have decided to build an addition to
the rear, which will be used as a
bakery, At the rear of this large
new oven will also be built. The new
addition, exclusive of the bake oven,
will be twenty feet long, being one
story high. The present oven to
the rear of the building is in bad re-
pair. More room was also needed.
After looking over the situation, the
owners decided that the best thing
to do was to make the changes above
noted. AS soon as definite plans are
decided upon, building operations
will be commenced. Clarence Turner
accompanied Messers Finch and Ora
ham to Guthrie Center Tuesday,
where they investigated a bakery,
with a view to following a similar
plan here.

MAKE RECORD RUN

The Audubon fire department made
a record run Tuesday morning about
$3.50 o'clock, when they responded
to an alarm sent in from the residence
of Mr. and Mrs. Ned Curtis. Many of
the old timers stated that it was the
fastest run ever made in the history
of the local department. All of the
fire fighting paraphernalia was at
tached to the rear of automobiles,
which accounts for the record run.
With an auto fire truck, our boys
would be efficiently equipped for
similar prompt responses to any
future fire alarms.
AS to the fire. Well, 1t was out
before the arrival of the fire depart
ment. 1t was caused from the cook
stove, in which Mrs. Curtis had
built a strong fire. Being set close
to the wall of the summer kitchen,
the wall caught fire. Before the
flames were extinguished by Mrs.
Curtis, a hole about a foot in diane
ter was burned through the wall.

HOGS DYING in
AUDUBON COUNTY
Government to Send Specialists tt
Help Audubon County Farmers
Stamp Out Hog Cholera

Hog Cholera is again prevalent in
the land and during the past few
weeks hundreds of hogs belonging to
Audubon county farmers have died.
Necessary steps are being taken to
prevent the spread of the disease, but
in spite of all that can be done and
| is done, the loss by death is tremen-
dous.
DIR. II. ii. Fairbanks, an expert on
hog cholera, was in the city yesterday
presenting plans whereby system
attic attempt will be made to stamp
out this disease which has been so
costly to farmers each year. DR..
Fairbanks is in the employ of the
United States government and all of
his expenses are paid by Uncle Sam.
All of the time he devotes to this
matter is given gratis to the agricul-
tural interests of the country. The
gentleman who has entire charge of
the work is DIR. j. s. Koen and DR..
Fairbanks is his assistant who will
have charge of four counties, viz:
Audubon, Shelby, Carroll and Craw-
ford.
soon in each township in Audubon
county. When the organization is
completed each township will have
individual officers who win be in
touch with DIR. Fairbanks continually
and who will report conditions in
his district. II necessary, DR.. Fair
banks or some other reliable person
will go at once to the farm where hog
cholera has broken out and an effort
made to entirely stamp out the dis
ease. In an interview with him yes
terday he said: 1--WE hope to be able
to thoroughly organize Audubon
county and to enlist the co-opera-
ton of all farmers, especially those
who have herds sick with the cholera.
We want to do II so Systematically
as to reduce the danger of spreading
the disease in this community. We
also hope to be able to get better
prices for compound cresol solution
so no one will hesitate to use il in
order to properly disinfect after chol-
era has been on the place"
DR.. Fairbanks has been in Dallas
county the past two years and the
result of his work has been that this
year not a single case of hog cholera
has developed whereas before, more
than So per cent of the hogs had died.
We trust DR.. Fairbanks will be
given the support and cooperation
he desires. He states that he has moth
ing TO sell and is not expecting the
farmers to pay him anything for his
time. He is here at the service of the
people and wants to help them save
their hogs and thereby put money
into the pockets of all those who
depend upon the community for a
living.
