AUDUBON COUNTY GIRL
KILLED In AUTO ACCIDENT

Viola Johnson, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Oscar Johnson, of south
Extra township, was almost Instant
'ly killed id an automobile accident,
which occurl ed late Friday eve. ing,
when the car in which she and Frank
McDermott of Anita, were riding was
wrecked. and she was thrown through
the windshield. She died at 1880
Saturday morning, after having been
brought to Anita. She had suffered
several broken ribs, a pierced lung
and several other injuries. The scene
of the accident occurred two and one
half miles northeast of Extra. She
had been attending the G.. A. r. re-
union in Anita, and had accepted the
invitation of Mr.. McDermott to take
an automobile ride. 1t will probably
never be determined just what caus-
ed the accident, but it is thought that
it resulted from broken hind
wheel, as broken splinters from the
wheel were found upon the bridge
which they passed over Just before
the accident. Another automobile
came up soon after the accident and
found McDermott holding up the un-
fortunate girl.
Miss Johnson was well known TO
many in Audubon, as she often visit
ed here, being granddaughter of
Ben Mendenhall. She also taught a
rural school in this county several
years. Deceased was born April IS,
1898, in Audubon county, the daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Oscar Johnson
She leaves to mourn her untimely
death her parents, and six brothers
and sisters. The funeral services
services were held Tuesday afternoon
at 900 O'Clock at the Christian
church in Extra, and interment was
made in the Extra cemetery.

CANNING FACTORY
STARTS MONDAY

The 1916 pack of the Audubon
Canning Company will be begun next
Monday. The recent rains have made
assurance of good crop of sweet
corn, and 1t is thought that the run
will last several weeks. The past
week. III. Madden, representative of
the Continental Can Company Of Chi
cago, has been here and installed two
sanitary closing machines and one
conveyor. With this machine, it will
not be necessary to use acid or solder
We understand that the lid of the
can is crimped on tightly, making
them absolutely air tight. 100 cans
can thus be sealed per minute, and
a saving of several men is affected.
During the summer. four husking
machines have ben installed, some
new cutting machines, new sanitary
syrup tank, new sanitary filler, three
new retorts, new ninety foot cooling
tank, new track that conveys cans
from car to filler, and 1000 IT of new
conveyors have been placed, and the
entire machinery of the plant over
hauled. The capacity has thereby
been greatly increased.

ORTS MEAT MARKET
ALMOST COMPLETED

q new meat market of j. f. Nc
Cort is nearing completion and will
soon be ready for occupancy. Delay
is experienced in getting the tile for
the floor in the front of the market.
AS soon as this arrives and is put i'm
place, Mr.. McCort will move into the
new building
Nothing tc compare with it in the
state in up-to-dateness and conven-
ience," is often heard from people
who are familiar with meat markets
elsewhere. The building. was erect
ed especially for a meat market, and
everything was especially arranged
for convenience and service. The
equipment placed in the market is
the best that money could buy. One
feature that particularly interests
the public is the big cooler, which
was made to order by the Percival
Company of Des Moines, who make
a speciality of making equipment for
meat markets.
This cooler holds five tons of meat
and produce. The temperature can
be held down as low as 32 degrees
fahrenheit. This is done by a system
of pipes through which amonia is
forced and changed to gas form. In
changing from a liquid to a gas a
freezing or cooler temperature is pro-
duced. In the basement, the pipes
running to the cooler are attached to
a condenser, which forces the amonia
through them. There is also a five
ton ice machine. Mr.. McCort will
also have his two display cases in the
front of his shop connected with the
cooler, and these will be kept at the
same temperature. With this sys-
TEN, it is not necessary to use any
ice whatever. The meat is kept free
from all dampness, while in the cool |
er. the air being perfectly dry and
cold. A track leads from the cooler |
to the rear of the building, which |
conveys the meat to any part of the
cooler.
In the rear is the sausage room,
25x25 feet, which is sanitary in every |
way. Here are installed two meat |
cutters and sausage machines. The |
smoke house is built from the floor |
of the basement up and is very hand |
lily arranged. There is boiler room,
and both hot and cold water can be |
had at all times. The building is |
steam heated.
The upstairs of the building has |
been fitted up in the front for living |
rooms, and which will be occupied |
by Mr.. and Mrs. McCort. In the rear
are eight rooms, which have been |
arranged for rental purposes. All |
rooms have running hot and cold |
water and radiator. 1t is impossible |
in as brief account as this to do the |
new business house justice. 1t is |
certainly great assest to the bust |
ness section of Audubon.

CRESCENT THEATRE TO OPEN

Don and John Preston, proprietors
of the Crescent theatre, are making
big plans for their opening night.
which has been set for next Thurs
day night. All are looking forward
to the initial show, which we are
promised will be something excep-
tionally good. A fine Paramount pro-
gram of moving pictures will be
shown, and in addition there will be
vaudeville. The seating capacity of
the Crescent theatre is over 400, and
no doubt there will be capacity
houses.
The Crescent theatre, which has
just been completed, and is of the
best and most up-to-date moving
picture houses to be found in this
section of the country, in fact 1t is
doubtful If any city the size of Aud
ubon can boast of it's equal. Nothing
was omitted in it's construction to
make 1T complete in every detail. 1t
is entirely fireproof, as is also the
operating room for the moving pic
ture machine. The decorating was
done by experienced men from Om-
aha, and the interior presents a very
beautiful, pleasing and harmonizing
appearance. The lighting system is
fine. 1t is certainly a beautiful the
atre and should be greatly appreciat-
ed by the people of Audubon and vi
cinity.
In the construction the comfort of
the public was carefully looked after
by the management. A rest room
was built upstairs at the front Of the
theatre for the ladies, who may wish
to use the same. 1t has been well
furnished. and its use is free.
A private box has been built up
stairs in the rear, and which will seat
a party of six
During fair week. Messers Preston
expect to run a special bill with
vaudeville, and plan to secure the
Bell Brothers orchestra of Carroll to

That Idaho bred birds are as fine
as those bred any place in the country
