WOMEN HELP
TO WRECK PLANT
Germans and Austrians Near The
Breaking Point and Soldiers
Shoot Into Crowd

The wrecking of munition plants
by the women of Austria, in Vienna
Pressburg, Brunn and Labach, the
closing of the Swiss-Austrian frontier
as result; the killing of officers
by soldiers in the German army and
the possibility of an uprising in Ger
many because of insufficient food
and economic conditions following
the realization that the war is a
failure. SO far as accomplishment of
the German aims is concerned form
a big item of news in dispatches from
the European capitals today.
A London dispatch tells of the
wrecking of the Austrian munition
plants by mobs composed largely OF
women in the course of which sol
diers fired into the crowds, killing
many of the rioters.
An East Prussian prisoner, cap
tured by the allies, has told a story
of the killing of officers by the Ger
mans and mutiny in the ranks of the
soldiers
According to this soldier, the So
cialistic and revolutionary spirit is
growing so rapidly that it is expect
ed to endanger the supremacy of the
junkers by spring and the military
authorities are adopting most severe
repressive measures. He also told
a story of how German privates left
their officers to their fate in the
face of fire and of how officers hated
by their troops fell on battlefields
with bullets in their backs.

BACK ON THE OLD JOB

The many readers of the Republi-
can will no doubt be pleased to learn
that II. j. Savage Is again ia charge
Of the local department of the paper
after an absence little over year.
For four years previous, Mr.. Savage
did the local work under the present
management and was also in the en-
ploy of Mr.. Ross. He has always
given splendid service and was able
to secure more news than any re-
porter who ever did duty in Audi
bon.
Mr.. Savage has the happy faculty
of knowing how to meet the public
and knows a news item when he sees
or hears of one. He has always been
diligent in his work and never lost
an opportunity of working for the
best interests of his employer. Mr..
Savage is authorized to transact
business in all departments of the
newspaper work and We hope the
public will assist him in not only
giving him the news, but their jot
printing orders and their advertis-
ing as we'll. Any courtesies extend,
ed to him will be appreciated by the
publisher.

THE SOLDIERS FIRST

A man said: "Why should give
to the ambulance fund, l have no
boy to go to the front" Isn't that
a strange way of looking at duty?
The man who has no boy to give
to his country should give generous
ly and lavishly of his worldly goods
in trying to do his share and be
thankful that is all that is required
of him.
Ambulances are needed on the
Italian and Russian battlefields right
now to save the lives of brave men.
The more help given to the soldiers
already in the field, the further ia
the time postponed when the Amer
lean men must fill the gaps.
The third ambulance fund raised
by ciizens of Audubon county lack a
few hundred dollars before one more
life saving vehicle can be sent
abroad. Every few days a few dol
lars are added by voluntary contrib
utions and this shows a fine spirit.
but there must be an extra effort
made very soon If Ambulance No. 3,
reaches the European battlefields be-
fore Christmas, so a great war movie
called THE Battle of Ancre" is to be
put on as an ambulance benefit the
second week in November The film
alone, for this picture cost the COM
mittee SIS. But one satisfactory
thing about that price is that 1t
brings a great picture and the fee
goes right back to the war funds,
for this picture is shown under the
auspices of the allies.

About thirty-five relatives and
close friends of Mrs. Dick Owen
gathered at her home three and a
half miles southeast of Audubon last
night to remind her of her birthday
anniversary Mrs. Owens was not
told of the plans that had been laid.
but Mr.. Owen was taken into their
confidence and told what was
in the wind. After gathering
the happy party went to the
Owen home and took Mrs. Owen
completely by surprise. 1t had hard
ly occurred to her that she had pass
ed another milestone in her life, and
her friends were determined that
she should not let the occasion go by
unoticed.
AS soon as the guests had been
made TO feel at h me, cards. music,
and conversation were enjoyed until
a late hour when dancing was indul-
ged in, following which most
dainty supper was served.
Mrs. Owens father and mother
gave her check for IS and the
guests also left a substantial purse
with which she could purchase a
suitable present. The surprise prov
ed to be one of the delightful events
of the season and Mrs. Owen will
always look back to this time when
she was more completely surprised
than at any other. time in her life.

GEORGE CAMPBELL MEETS
A MOST TRAGIC FATE

The Republican mentioned in its
issue last week OF the sudden and
accidental death of George Campbell,
a farmer in Melville township 20
years ago, and brother Of Fred
Campbell, residing east of town.
The following clipping tells or his
death:
"Word was received here Sunday
of the accidental death of George
Campbell at Algona, Iowa. Mr..
Campbell was enroute to Crystal
Lake, Minnesota, when the accident
occurred, and was accompanying his
household goods.
It seems that Mr.. Campbell had
left the train for a few minutes at
Algona and was compelled to hurry
back when the freight began to pull
cut of the station. His attempt to
Chamber back into the car was fall
ure, he slipped, stumbled. and the
next instant was drawn beneath the
wheels of the train. The accident
was seen by a brakeman, but by the
time he reached the body. life was
extinct.
Word was Immediately sent to his
wife and son, who had gone on to
Crystal Lake, and arrangements were
made to bring the body here for
burial. Funeral services were held
in the Presbyterian church Wednes-
day afternoon. Rev. Wyllie, assist
ed by Rev. Criswell, conducted the
services"

PROPOSE DRAFTING
FROM THE WEALTHY
Former Congressman Smith Would
Have Congress Levy Direct Tax
ON Property To Raise Money

That congress should enact a law
placing direct tax on all real and
personal property in the United
States giving credit to holders of
Liberty Bonds, thus making certain
the raising of funds necessary for the
prosecution of the war, is the pro-
posal of Judge Walter l. Smith, for
mer congressman from this district
and at present Judge OF United States
circuit court of appeals.
In speaking of this proposal of his,
Judge Smith says:
Congress should provide for a
direct tax upon all the property, real
and pei sonal, in the United States
from the amount OF each Liberty
loan to double that amount. Under
the constitution of the United States
his would have to be apportioned ac-
cording to the population of the sew
eral states. Exemptions should be
allowed to each citizen to the amount
of say $4,000; the law should pro-
vide that a person was entitled to
credit upon his tax for whatever
amount he had subscribed to, and
paid 20 percent upon, the loan for
which the tax was levied.
''Under this system everybody
would have to pay hts share but the
man who subscribed 1t would get a
bond for it and the man who failed
to subscribe it would pay the same
share or more but get no bond.
This could be passed before the
next bond issue. 1t would no longer
be necessary to keep orators out on
every.stump telling people what they
ought to know, their patriotic duty,
and begging men to do what they
ought to do without. being begged,
but every loan would be far over
subscribed because there are many
men who are not subject to taxation
at all who suscribe to the loans,
there would be many who were with
in the exemption of $4,000, and the
generous would overscribe their
share.
1.-THE man of means who won't sub
scribe because he thinks he can make
a few more pennies out of his money
at the expense Of starving our boys
in the trenches and making them go
with inadequate clothing, should sim
ply be made to do so and such a law
would do it,"

SELLING LIBERTY BONDS

The second Liberty Loan drive
of the Boy Scouts of America has
been launched.
The Scouts rendered exceedingly
valuable service to their country in
the first Librty bond campaign. turn
ing over $23,000,000 in subscription
President Wilson has recognized
the power of the Boy Scouts thru
out the country and has called upon
organized boyhood to again aid the
government. President Wilson said
my earnest wish is that every scout
leader give every Boy Scout an OPP
portunity to take a definite part in
this practical method of giving ex-
preston to his scout obligation OF
service to our country"
The part the Boy Scouts and their
leaders, $4,000 strong. will play in
this, the greatest financial drive in
the history of the world, has been
well defined. 1t will be no child S
play-no aimless solicitation-but a
systematic canvass of over 10000
900 homes, offices, stores and indust-
rial establishments.

peculiar work have already proved
their worth in gold, for Washington,

amazed at the feat of the khaki-clad
young Americans in the first Liberty

POORLY ARRANGED KITCHEN
HINDERS FARM WORK

The kitchen is the most important
institution on the farm. Some folks
will disagree with that statement just
after meal time or in the winter when
they are fat and lazy. But make the
same suggestion about IL o'clock or
in mid-afternoon of summer harvest
day and the resolution will carry with
out dissenting vote. Now doesn't 1t
seem that the most important farm
institution should be efficient? Miss
Carrie L. Pancoast, in Extension Cir
cular IL of the University of Missou-
ri, Agricultural Extension Service,
says, "The farm kitchen is the farm
womans most important workshop
and in many ways the chief room of
the house. It's equipment and arrange
ment may easily make the difference
between a tired, over-worked, worm
out housewife, and one who has some
time and energy left for recreation
after the days work is DONE" This
circular has just come from the press
and contains a general discussion of
tile efficiency of the kitchen. 1t also
contains plans and suggestions for
arrangements and equipment of the
kitchen. 1t is illustrated with pic
lures and drawings of some Missou-
ri farm kitchens which have proved
successful. Copies of this circular
may be had on application to the Col
lege of Agriculture, Columbia, Mo.
Too frequently the kitchen is ar
ranged without regard to the rest of
the house or proper location. Too
frequently, also, the farm woman must
perform her work in the kitchen with
tools and implements which were
used by her grandmother, while her
husband provides the latest farm ma
chinery for performing his work. He
could not be induced OF use the cradle
or the fail in wheat production, or
to prepare his land with the wooden
mold-board pillow and the brush har-
row. Why then, should the farm wo-
man have to contend with an antiquat-
ed kitchen or with Anticipated equip
ment?
Farmers who are planning to build
or remodel their kitchens would dc
well to apply for this circular.
