ORGANIZE A BABY
CLUB AT KIMBALLTON

Kimballton has reason to be proud
of Child Welfare and Suffrage day in
their little town last Friday.
There was a good attendance even
to the morning session and so much
interest shown in the idea of scien-
tific baby raising that il was very
easy to find enough young mothers
to form the nucleus of a Baby Club"
along the lines of the Audubon clubs
which are so popular.
The speakers in the forenoon were
Mrs. Jno. Kennedy and Mrs. Rem
Phelps of Audubon and they, with
Mrs. Ole Jacobsen, secretary of the
Audubon County Child Welfare AS
ISOLATION covered the reports of the
Extra meeting last month, the child
Improvement clubs of the county, and
boosted for the Baby Health Contest
to be held at the Audubon County
Fair.
Although a picnic lunch was plan
ned, the visitors from out of town
found little use for their baskets of
provisions, for the Kimballton ladies
had provided most generously for
every body and the long table that
reached the full length of the town
hall literally groaned with its load
of good things to eat, and coffee to
drink
During the noon hour Mr.. White
of Harlan gave an address on Equal
Suffrage" Hon. Ole Jacobsen presid-
ing. The business men of the town
came in a body to hear this talk and
were most appreciative listeners.
Rev. Jorgensen then talked in
Danish on the same subject and al
though your reporter could not un-
derstand one word, the speakers de-
livery and voice impressed her with
the fact that he is an orator and was
making a convincing talk. He was
applauded very often.
Miss Ella M. Stearns of Audubon.
County Superintendent of Public In
struction. was next on the program,
and gave most eloquent plea for
parents and teachers to get together
on the school problems. She suggest
ed the organization of Parent-Teach-
er Clubs, to meet at the school house
each month, as q means of bringing
about a closer cooperation of home
and school.

HOME MAN WINS
In COMPETITION

F. E. Tedford, the manager of the
electrical store recently established
in Audubon, was the successful bidder
for the wiring of the new school build
ing to be erected in this city this year.
He was successful in winning the con-
tlact after competing with outside
firms. His bid of $3.50 was the low
est and was accepted by the school
board at recent meeting. A. A.
Thompson, of Casey, with bid of
$14,942 was the lowest bidder for
the heating and plumbing. This to-
gether with the contract price of the
building by the Riddle Construction
Co., of Creighton, Nebr., being $751;
500 makes a total of $69,192 1t is
estimated that in addition to this
figure the sum of 100000 will be
spent for equipment which is to be
a donation that the late Lois G..
Stuart left to the school district by
the provisions of her will.

L. c. JOHNSON INJURED

Last Saturday while making his
usual rounds, delivering oil, L. G..
Johnson was badly injured in runa-
way. While driving south on Court
street tug became unfastened from
the singletrees, frightening the
horses and they ran as far south as
the C. II. Wilde residence when a
wheel broke, throwing Mr.. Johnson
out. He was badly cut about the
head, shoulder and hip and otherwise
bruised. The tongue of the wagon
was also broken. A large amount of
oil and gasoline spilled out on the
ground, making quite a loss. The
same team ran away again on Sun
day morning with Virgil Johnson,
when tug came down near the Park
hotel. They ran all the way to West
Audubon, but no damage was done
at this time. Moral: use safety clips
on your tugs.

members assembled at the Masonic
hall at nine o'clock. and from there
went in automobiles to Extra where
they were Joined by the members
residing in Extra and together went
to the cemetery where they sang a
song, offered prayer and placed a
wreath of flowers upon the resting
place of each departed Sir knight.
A number of the wives of the Knights
and a ladies trio composed of Mrs.
Flora Freeman, Mrs. w. w. Smith,
and Miss Gladys Fancher added to
the occasion with their voices. The
service was very impressive.
The party was invited to stay for
refreshments, but the clouds looked
threatening and the party thought
best to return to Audubon at once.
In the afternoon the Knights held
a similar service at the two Audubon
cemeteries and at Luccock's Grove.
The annual banquet was held at
$50 in the evening to which the
knights and their families were in
vited. Sir John Weighton was toast
master. His toast was given in his
usual happy vein, after which he
called upon Arthur Farquhar, Rev.
Giddens, and DR.. Riley, of Extra,
each responding in the same spirit.
After the toasts, the company return
ed to the lodge room where they were
highly entertained with music fur
nished by Gifford's orchestra and vo-
cal music by Mrs. w. w. Smith, Mrs.
Flora Freeman and Miss Tracy Rob
inson, who composed trio, and each
of whom contributed solo. All of
the musical numbers were heartily
applauded Altogether it was an oc-
CASTOR long to be remembered and
one that adds luster to the splendid
order.

der Martin Mortinsen in 1884 and
filled the position with dignity and
credit. He later established a life
insurance agency which he continued
until the first of last April when he
entered the employ of Arnold, Ross

of the insurance department. He is
an exemplary young man and was
