The daughters had been called to the

SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND
STATE

The M. L. church district confer
ence at Delta, Iowa, few days ago
passed resolutions denouncing Hard
ing for governor and declaring most
SIMULTANEOUSLY for Meredith.
Turn the proposition around, and
let a conclave of Catholic priests de-
nounce a candidate running for Office
and declare their intentions to in
tiuence their congregations to work
for another, how many kinds of fits
would those Methodist preachers be
thrown into?
Has it come to a condition in this
state when enlightened citizens are
ready to take their politics from the
pulpit?
When clerical gentlemen pay more
attention to the spiritual well being
of the people who look to them for
spiritual guidance and cease to stir up
their following into quarreling fac
lions the church in general will be
more highly regarded in the average
community.
Those Methodist preachers evident
ly do not recognize the fundamental
doctrine of separation of church and
state that dominates in this nation.

HANDLE DANDELIONS
WITH GREAT CARE

DO you want to get rid of your
dandelions? Then handle them with
care. says the Decatur. ILL.,, Review in
the following brief article.
These flowers have literally taken
the lawns in many towns and there
seems to be no way of getting rid of
them. They can be dug up one at a
time. and destroyed. but this is a slow
and laborious process, and next year
they will be as bad as ever. Many of
the blossoms have gone to seed and
the seed scattered everywhere Some
one suggested last year that we care
fully plant the seed and take care of
the plants and it won't be long before
some insect comes along and destroys
them! If the soil is thin. a good plant
ing OF blue grass seed will be a
good remedy, provided your neigh
Dor will upbuild his lawn, then i'm a
few years the yellow top will disap-
pear

The CONVENTION
BRINGS INSPIRATION
Ian Last Week Great Success
From Every Viewpoint.

Last Weeks Republican gave an
account of the transactions of the
Danish Lutheran Convention held at
Harlan. So much more took place
than was reported that we clip the
following interesting article from last
weeks Harlan Tribune and also pre-
sent the pictures of the the pastors
of the various Danish churches of
this locality:
"The Lutheran annual conference
of the Danish Lutheran church of the
United States closed its labors late on
Saturday night, and the two hundred
and fifty delegates representing the
various states began the work of pre-
pairing to return to their homes.
The officers for the session just
closed were: President, Rev. G. b.
Christensen of Audubon; secretary, A
S. Nielsen of Brush, Colo; treasurer,
Otto Hansen of Blair, Neb.
Mayor Albert Hansen, himself a
member of the Harlan Lutheran
church. made an address of welcome
to the delegates Wednesday after
noon. Speaking both Danish and Eng
lish as a graduate of Nebraska, and
familiar with the church purposes
from intimate association, he was in
a position to make very acceptable
offer of the hospitality of Harlan, and
he did so in very felicitious manner.
The conference was blessed with
the most delightful weather thru the
week; it was comfortably warm and
only enough rain fell at an early hour
Sunday to lay the dust, tho the cloudy
weather likely kept a number away
who had intended to be present. In
the mass of people who were here
Sunday-to witness the various church
ceremonials the absentees were
scarcely missed.
The convention attendance was not
able for its dignified orderliness. I'm
less you were in the line of their pro-
gress to and from the church edifiees
you would not have known the tnous-
and or more persons who were regu-
ular in their attendance upon the SER
vices, were in the city. The same good
breeding is reported from the many
homes where the distinguished visit
ors were welcomed. All these guests
looked after their own rooms with
such Jealous domestic care, that it
could scarcely be told the rooms were
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1916-06-29

occupied. We have been told that the
delegates have never been better car
ed for than during their stay in this
city and indeed it has been pleasure
to entertain such thotful guests.
Those who were at our house for the
week were profuse in their express
ions of pleasure as they said their
Goodbye" Monday morning.
During their deliberations, the Luz
theran congregations used the local
churches in addition to a large tent
raised on the Park school grounds.
The church was used for the morn
ing sessions; the tent for the after
noon and evening service. At the SER
vices last Sunday the large auditor
ium of the Methodist church was
necessary to add to the other accomo-
dations in order to properly care for
the attendance. The delegates finish
ed their deliberations and Sunday was
given over wholly to religious wor-
ship. The cloudy weather kept some
away, but a conservative estimate of
the number of visitors during the
day puts it at three thousand. Ali
neighboring towns where the church
has a following, were represented.
The condition of the roads and the
temperature were ideal for motoring,
and many persons not connected with
the church, came here for the drive
and to observe the proceedings of a
national religious conference.
The conference proper kept faith
fully at work until Saturday night
Every important subject concerning
church policy was given careful con-
sideration during the three daily ses-
sions which they found it necessary
to hold in order to do their duty faith
fully and dispose of the business. 1t
may not be generally known that the
Lutheran church is the third largest
in numbers in this country. With
this statement, it will be more readily
understood there were many ques-
tons concerning the welfare of the
church necessary to receive the most
earnest review that the church might
be piloted along the wisest course.
No more courteous, influential and
Jealous body has ever been guests of
the people of this city. 1t is not fiat
terry to say the city of Harlan would
welcome an opportunity to hale its
members again, but we presume
church policy finds 1t wisest to dis
tribute these meetings for the general
good of the order, so the people of
Harlan bid them goodbye and Gods
speed in the discharge of their var
ious tasks as they reach home, with
the cordial phrase, Happy to meet,
happy to part, happy to meet again. "
On Sunday morning an ordination
and communion service was held at
the Harlan Danish Lutheran church /;

FIRE WHISTLE FOR AUDUBON

The Audubon Fire Department has
purchased a new Siren fire whistle
which came from the manufacturers
in Chicago last Friday. 1t will be
placed on the Light plant and used
for the purpose of giving the alarm
of fire when needed, and for that pur-
pose alone. The manager of the plant
Mr.. Z l.. Utter, has consented to fur
nish the steam for the whistle free
of charge to the town.
This make of whistle has been in
stalled in many of the large sizetowns
in the state and is so much different
from any other whistle now in use
that people for miles around Will
know something is wrong when the
whistle is blown. 1t is said that the
whistle can be heard a distance OF
five to eight miles.
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1916-06-29

On occasions of this sort no one
thinks it worth while to thank the
committees, but 1t may well be as
sumed that if the various committees
had not done their wirk with the rare
efficiency present in this case the peo-
pie of Harlan might have had to apol-
ogize instead of congratulate them
selves. 1t was large undertaking
to bring a national convention to a
city no larger than ours, but we be-
lieve we can say without boasting that
the duty was so well done that we
have earned word of praise from
those who were with us for last week
The influence of the convention has
been felt already, as Rev. Jas. C. Pet
erson, pastor of the local church, in
forms us a number of persons have
rendered their affiliations with the
Harlan church.
The conference will meet next year
at Neenah, Wis"

WORK OF THE BABY

Baby Club was pleased to learn that
the four years work in the club was
beginning to bear fruit. Mrs. ---

had repeatedly cautioned her six-year
old daughter against handling any
object that might contain germs. Sun
day the little girl came in and said:
Mother, am never going to play

"Oh, no." replied her mother,
