IOWA SOLDIERS TO GO
SOUTH IN SEPTEMBER

September 18th has been fixed by
the war department as the limit for
the complete mobilization of the ma
tional guard in southern training
camps.
Detailed plans for sending the men
south have not been worked out. All
of the troops will not be in federal
service before August 9Th. but the
Iowa men, who were called out on
July 18th, will probably be among the
first to go south.
The following extract from an
explanatory statement issued by the
war department indicates some of the
difficulties which are being faced:
lowing to the time required for
,, mastering troops into service, the
lack of facilities for properly main
tanning troops at home stations. the
shortage of tents. the general mad
equacy of state mobilization camps
and other difficulties, department
commanders will be given the utmost
latitude in mobilizing the national
guard and in dispatching it to the
concentration camps in the south.
There should be no undue delay

be given the national guard in the
southern camps. Subject to this re-
quirement, department commanders
are authorized to increase or dimin-
ish the fifteen day mobilization period
| when necessary; to utilize state
mobilization camps for mastering
purposes if expedient, and to make
preliminary concentration of troops
prior to movement south when neces-
sary to the interests of economical
transportation.
1.-THE movement south should, in
a general way, be completed about
September 18th" -
This order is taken by Iowa mill
tary authorities to mean that there
is a possibility that the Iowa guard
may be ordered modified at Des
Moines before It is sent south, oil
that the men might be kept in the
state as late as September LIST before
going to Deming, N. M.

NO EXEMPTIONS BY
LOCAL WAR BOARDS

Washington, d. c.. July 25-Prep-
arations for actual mobilization of the
national army went ahead here today
while the local selection boards over
the country began summoning for ex-
animation the men who will compose
the force. 1t is believed that con-
siderable number of men will be Sc
lected before August 1st
The entire force will be ready,
with the exception probably of few
disputed cases, by the time the six
teen environments are ready early in
September
Provost Marshal General Crow
der pointed out today that the local
boards actually are selection, not
exemption boards.
Rejected, Not Exempted.
The primary purpose. he said. was
to select from registered men those
qualified for military service. The
men they turn away after examina-
ton will be rejected, rather than ex-
empted because of physical disability
or dependents.
The exemption boards proper are
the district boards which have pow
er to say whether the work man is
doing at home will be more import
ant to the government that his SER
vices as a soldier.
Information reaching Washington
indicates that the selection boards are
taking the view of their work that
makes that name fitting for them.
Duty to Get Men.
They are bent on finding men for
the army in the shortest possible
time. When they certify any man to
the higher boards as held for service
the man becomes a soldier and sub
ject to soldier law.
1t will be the duty of the provost
marshal general from that time on to
see that he complies with all army
orders affecting him and also to turn
him over to the army authorities
when he is called to the colors.
The quotas from the various dis
tricts probably will be assembled first
at their district headquarters when
the call comes. Whether they will
be turned over to an army officer
there and taken to their cantonment,
or whether one of their number will

to the cantonment has not been de-

MODERN WOODMEN TO
MOVE THEIR LODGE ROOM

The members of the Modern Wood
men, who for several years past have
been holding their lodge meetings in
the opera house over the Chris Olson
department store, have decided to
move their lodge rooms in the How
ard block over the Kraft-Farr cloth
ing store. The rooms are being espe-
cially fitted up for the Modern Wood
men, and as the room had been used
for lodge purposes years ago. it will
not be necessary to make many i'm
provements in order to meet the re-
quirements of the lodge. The NJ. w.
A. S have been quite active during the
past several months, and have Sc
cured a number of new candidates
who will be initiated into the myster-
les of the order within the next few
weeks. The new location is expected
to be ready for the lodge boys about
the first of September.

WEAVER GIVES UP
RED CROSS OFFICE

J. b. Weaver, the gentleman from
Des Moines, who gave such delight
full talk at the Presbyterian church
in this city several weeks ago on the
work of the Red Cross, has asked to
be relieved from the work He will
be succeeded by DR.. A. f. Kepford
of the state board of control, whose
appointment Mr.. Weaver has recon-
mended.
Commenting on the change, Mr..
Weaver said:
when but two weeks out of a
strenuous legislative session. lasting
three and one-half months, took up
as state director, the work of Red
Cross chapter organization. For the
past two and one-half months I have
put entirely aside private business
ounce of energy / possessed to the
organization of Red Cross chapters in
Iowa, and latterly also in aiding in
the war fund drive. l have enjoyed
the work immensely. but | now feel
that it is imperative that l have some
rest as we'll as some time for other
pressing responsibilities that can be
no longer put off, and | have. there
fore, asked to be relieved. 1t has
been the most strenuous two and q
half months of my life as we'll as the
most delightful.
Iowa stands first in the nation ir
number of chapters organized May
l we had twenty-five. We now have
$50 chapters fully organized GOVERNS
every county seat in Iowa and ter
chapters in process of organization
total of 100. We had on May
only few thousand members in thu
state, but in my judgment the mem
bership in Iowa now much exceeds
! 100000 and is daily increasing. The
great factor in bringing about this re
suit has been no individual. but the
unbounded zeal of the people o
Iowa themselves in responding to thu
nations need. Their enthusiasm a.
shown in chapter organization and il
the war fund gifts has been unsur
passed anywhere.

FINED FOR HAVING
QUANTITY OF LIQUOR

Four young men from this part of
the county were hauled into court
recently and fined for having liquor
in their possession. At least Grover
Hogueisson was arrested last Friday
afternoon by Sheriff Wilson on word
from the sheriff in Carroll county,
stating that three men were being
held in Carroll for the offense and
that the fourth man was on his way
to Audubon. AS soon as Hogueisson
reached town his car was searched
and it was found to contain 81 pints
and 20 quarts of whiskey. He was
placed under arrest, but permitted
his freedom upon giving bond.
The story is to the effect that Ted
Olson, Grover Hogueisson and Carl
Nelson had been doing some thing
near Glidden. Tuesday they got
through with their work and they de-
cided to drive across the line into
Minnesota to secure some refresh
ments. Friday morning they return
ed to Carroll and after spending some
time in that city, started for home
While there they met Ray Faust and
he accompanied them in the car
Whez they. reached a point three
miles south of Carroll they had a
breakdown. They telephoned to Car
roll for car to come out to get them
and also telephoned to Audubon to
send Grover Hogueisson's car to get
him.
The refreshments were loaded in
Growers car and he started for Audi
bon, while Olson, Faust and Nelson
went back to Carroll, and while there
they got into some difficulty which
resulted in the sheriff learning of the
quantity of liquor.
Olson, Nelson and Faust were TAX
en- into custody and fined $40 and
costs. Grover Hogueisson employed
and attorney and his case was
brought before Justice Chas. White
on Saturday. The case was postponed
until Monday. at which time a
change of venue was taken and on
Wednesday morning the case was
brought up before Justice ID. L.
Thomas. When the case was called
| for trial it was dismissed for the
present and Mr.. Hogueisson was Civ
en- his freedom.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Hoguisser
was taken up on another charge and
| given a hearing. He was bound ovel
to the October term of the grand
jury. and is now at liberty under bono
which was furnished.

MORE MEN ON THE
NEW PAVING WORK

The Nj. l.. Finn Co., of Sioux City
who have the contract for the paving
of 40 city blocks, have secured an
other shipment of laborers, which ar
rived in the city Tuesday. Twenty
of them were brought from Sioux City
and yesterday the large force put in
more than two blocks of the concrete
paving.
For several weeks sand, gravel and
cement have been shipped into Audi
bon by the train load. In fact, so
much material is scattered in all parts
of the city that it is difficult to get
around town. This congested condi-
tion will be for a short time only as
the workmen will soon lay enough of
the paving so that some of the
streets can be opened to traffic. Mr..
Finn pays good wages and is able to
secure the best of nelp. He has en-
ployed all of the local help possible,
but of course there is not a large
enough force here to do the work.
which makes it necessary to bring in
large number of outsiders.
From present indications it looks
as though the work will be completed
before the time contracted for ex-
pires. The city council as we'll as
Mr.. Finn are DESTROYS of having all
of the streets leading into town in
the best of condition for fair week.
which comes the early part of Sep
TENDER.
The matter of paving the street to
the cemeteries is still under consid-
Grafton, and nothing definite can be
done until the proper resolutions of
necessity can be published. Mr..
Finn has indicated his intentions of
putting in this additional amount of
paving at the same price he contract
ed the other work, so that regardless
of the great increase in the cost of
material, this much need strip of
paving will be put in at a low figure.

WILL BE LAID UP FOR A WHILE,

Glen Roberts. who is one Of the
valuable assistants to his father, w.
S. Roberts. in the draying business,
was badly ruptured while loading
freight at the Rock Island depot on
Monday morning. His condition was
very bad until last night when he was
feeling some easier. He Is compelled
to remain at home and ii is thought
that 1t will be several weeks before
he will be able to be out again. Be-
ing only IS years of age, the family
physician has some hopes that the
wound will heal and that he will
eventually overcome the breakdown

w. w. SMITH OPERATED ON.

Word reached Audubon this morn
ing that W. w. Smith had been oper-
ated on for second operation at an
early hour this morning at hospital
at Springfield, Missouri. and was
resting splendidly. He came out from
under the anaesthetic and the shock
of the operation nicely. and the at
tending physician gives assurance
that he will recover. This will be
gratifying news to his many friends
here. He has been a faithful and
courteous employee at the Rock ISL
and depot for so many years that peo-
pie in all walks of life have come to
admire him more and now that he
is laid up, all are very solicitous as
to his welfare. All trust that he may
speedily recover and return to Audi
hon soon in the very best of health.

HERE VISITING DAUGHTER.

j. P. Nedrow, of Centerville, S. D.,
has been in the vicinity the past few
weeks visiting at the home of his
daughter. Mrs. Hi Packard. near
Gray. He was in the city yesterday
and paid this Office a pleasant call,
renewing his subscription to the pa
per for another year. Mr.. Nedrow
has been one of our subscribers for
many years and says that the good old
paper brings back to him many pleas
ant memories of the past when he
lived on a farm near Gray until eight
years ago when he removed to South
Dakota. He thinks there is no other
newspaper that gives the news quite
as correctly and intelligently as The
Audubon Republican.

former resident of this county. has
daughter, Violet. who is in Chicago
