NEXT CALL COMES
ABOUT OCTOBER q
Number of Audubon County Men Will
Be Called to Go to Camp Dodge
On Above Date

Consolidation of the third and
fourth increment and a request that
they not be sent until after Oct. 25
has been made to Provost Marshall
General CrOwder, according to word
sent to Sheriff Wilson.
Maj. Gen. E. H. Plummer, divi-
sion commander, announced Monday
afternoon that he had made the re-
quest that the men be held up for an
other ten days because construction
work would not be far enough advan-
ced by Oct. 10 to warrant the sending
of>men into the cantonment.
Officers are doubtful whether the
two increments will be ordered much
before Oct. 81, as they estimate Gen.
eral Crowder will want to give two or
three days of grace to the construc-
ton department.
$4,000 in Next List
Twenty-Five thousand men will be
sent to the cantonment in the next
quota if the recommendation is ad-
hered to by General Crowder. Eight
cen thousand men were expected in
the third increment and about 1000
in the last increment of Is per cent.
eRgardless of whether this plan is
followed, the entire 10000 men will
not be reported for duty before Dec.
1, as period exemptions and stragglers
will keep registration officials busy
until that date.
The special exemptions were made
to farmers and others whose occupa-
lions were such as to gain them the
privilege of reporting later. The
date to report for some of these men
is as late as Thanksgiving day, while
others are due to come to the canton
ment one and two weeks earlier.
Clothing Supplies Issued
Clothing will be on hand for the
entire increment by the date set for
their arrival. Every day carloads
of clothing and supplies are being
shipped to the division quartermas-
ter and are issued to COMPANY COM
manders as quickly as is possible.
Before the arrival of the next in
ecremnt company officers will draw
enough bedding and uniforms to
equip war strength company.

TO SPEAK SATURDAY

Col. G. c. Saunders. Of Council
Bluffs will speak at patriotic meet
ing in Audubon on Saturday evening
of this week. The principal feature
of his address will be the sale of the
Second Liberty Bonds. There is no
necessity of our taking the time or
space in telling our redaers the ur-
gent demand for every loyal citizen
to purchase these bonds, which In
reality is only loaning a stipulated
sum to the government.
Col. Saunders is fluent and f~-ce-
full speaker. He has been In IT,
county many times in years past. and
all who know him will be delighted
to learn that he is to be with 10
again. We bespeak for him large
and enthusiastic audience on the oc-
casion of his visit.

CHAMPION WRESTLER WILL
GO TO CAMP DODGE

Earl Caddock of Anita, claimant to
the worlds wrestling chapionship,
was accepted for the new national
army by the local draf exemption
board Friday. Caddock made no
claim for exemption and he will be
called with the increments that are
expected to report at the Camp Dodge
cantonment the latter part Of this
month.
Caddock was given temporary ex-
emption when he was examined a
month ago, 1t being found that his
system had been poisoned by dis
tonsils, which he had removed In
Sioux City the last week in June.
The poison prevented his taking
on any hard matches during the sum-
mer. although he has been in train
ing and has participated in several
minor contests.

AUDUBON HIGH
PLAYS ATLANTIC
Third Football Game to be On Tho
Home Gridiron With Plenty
of Vim and VigOr

Audubon high school boys match
their agility, cleverness, proficiency
with that of the Atlantic high school
boys tomorrow afternoon at $3.50 ON
the fair ground field The local
boys have been doing some very
strenuous practicing this week and
have evolved several new plays.
They will be in good condition I'M
less it be that McFadden and Jen-
sen will be unable to do their best
because of slight injuries received in
the game last Friday with Guthrie
Center. Their bruises were slight
and it is the opinion of their coach
that they will be o. X. by tomorrow
afternoon
There has been some shakeup in
the line. Some of the men have
been replaced by the coach so as to
put them in positions where he
thinks they will do better work. The
line has been materially strengthen
ed by these changes and it is gener-
ally believed that the boys will be the
victors.
The Atlantic team is light this
year and most of them are new tim
Der. Some have done no playing be-
fore this year and they are somewhat
lacking in beef. They have achieved
good speed and are quite handy with
the ball. The locals will not have q
walk-away in the game but they can
win as they have done some
very good work since the last game.
1t is the desire of the team that
every high school student be out to
the game and bring with them
friend. The business men are ex-
pected to close for the game from
$3.50 to 500 so that they and their
clerks may be in attendance. Let
every one who is able to walk, be
Johnny and boost for
the team and help them win. Then
in the evening after supper every
body turn out for big bonfire Of
victory. Bring box. chunk of
wood or anything that will burn and
celebrate the victory in fitting style.
Following is the schedule for the
remainder OF the season:

DISTRICT COURT POSTPONED
FOR ONE WEEK

The October term of the District
Court, which should have convened
next Tuesday morning, has been
postponed until Monday, October %.
Sheriff Wilson is busy today notify
ing the grand jurymen to report at
900 O'Clock. a. m.
Hon. Shelby Cullison, of Harlan,
will be the presiding Judge. This is
the first term of Court which he has
held in Audubon, he having been
appointed to the district bench in
April to succeed Judge Stevens. The
October term of Court is the session
p-osi6ed over for so many years by
judge Thornell. and his first time
in almost thirty years that Judge
Thornell has failed to visit Audi
bon. Prior. to his long tenure on
the bench, he was travelling prose-
cutting attorney for number of
years.
This office has just completed the
printing of the bar Gocket. The
docket for this term contains seven
state. and eighty-six civil cases. AS
the December term of \court will
convene December 4, it is not thought
that more than two weeks will be
consumed by the October term.
Nine cases have been noted for trial.
However. one of the more important
Michael Foley VS.. the City Of Audi
bon, which was a suit for the recov-
cry of damages for an injury Mr..
Foley sustained last year. We under
stand, has been settled. We did not
learn the terms OF settlement, but
understand that Mr.. Foley received
a satisfactory sum for the injury he
sustained.
The first week of the term will
be taken up in the trial of jury or
law cases to enable the dismissal Of
the petit Jurors as soon as possible.
The most important equity case to
be tried this term of court will be
that of ]. M. Edwards, ct al VS.. w,
s. Foley. This case involves a
trade of land in Melville township
by Mr.. Edwards to Mr.. Foley for
land in Canada.
AS stated above. the December
term will convene December 4.
Judge Wheeler will be the presiding
magistrate. Thursday. December 6,
will be naturalization day, and at
that time many will receive their
certificate of naturalization. Under
the present arrangement. naturaliza-
ton work is done only at the May
and December term.

SOLDIERS 20 NOT
HAVE TO BUY THEM

To the Public:
Information has from time to time
come to Red Cross officials that re-
ports are being circulated that SOL
diers are required to buy materials
made by Red Cross workers. Such
reports are usually vague and indef-
mite and no definite instance has
been found where. a soldier has been
required to buy Red Cross material.
The State Director has asked that all
patriotic citizens deny report empha-
tically and without reserve as a base
lie originating with those who put
their sympathies with our enemies
rather than with the nation which
has furnished them food and shelter.
1t is another of the rumors going
the rounds having for it's purpose
the aid Of the enemy. Red Cross
materials are not sold but are given
to those who are in need. l will be
glad to receive the facts of any case
where soldier has been obliged to
buy materials made by the Red Cross.

FARMERS AWARE THAT
KAISER WOULD COST 'EM DEAR

Word from Washington to-day is
TO the effect that in the second LIB
erty Loan campaign, which is to
start some time in October, par
ticular attention will be paid the
farmers of the United States, who
will be urged to share with Uncle
Sam the tremendous profits OF the
season Just terminating.
While the government has acted
to prevent the charging of high
prices in many lines, and has taken
steps to prevent huge war profits, 1t
has materially aided the farmers
of the United States 1t has guaran-
teed $2.20 for this years wheat crop
and assured the agriculturist that
next years crop will bring at least
SO bushel,
The season just ending has been
a remarkable one for the agricul-
turist. Not only were the crops large,
but very high prices were secured for
everything. At the time of the first
Liberty Loan the farmers money
was tied up. He had a great deal in
vested in his fields and for improve
ments> He did not subscribe heavily
to the first loan because he hadn't
the ready cash. But now, with the
harvest either in the barns or turn
ed into real money, the farmer is
ready to do his share.
"I have been in the habit of loan
ing my money, putting II out, at six
or seven or even higher per cent. -
said a farmer from the Granville
section this morning. II can do the
same this year, but I'm not going
to. I figure that the 4 per cent. the
government will pay for the second
Liberty Loan bonds may be a little
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1917-09-21

lower than 1 can get, but that owe
II to the country to share my good
fortune with II. II through some mis-
chance the Allies were to lose this
war and Germany were to win, the
Kaiser would jump at the chance to
make America pay the freight of
the worlds war, You people have
the money he'd say, and, Camn
you, YOU got to pay,' And we would
pay too We'd paN from the day the
war ended until the day they carried
us out the front door, feet first. And
our children would pay, after us;
and their children. So / figure that
1t is better for me to take four per
cent. in what I call government in
surance than to loan my money to
some one for seven per cent, and
run a chance that the Germans will
win and tax me so that extra little
profit of three per cent. wouldn't a
third cover what I'd be paying the
Kaiser,
"I have my life insured. have
my house and barns insured against
fire, I have my livestock insured. l
have lightning rods on the house and
outbuildings. 1 have firehose around
where I can reach 1t when I need it.
And now I'm going to take out some
Insurance on the government of the
United States I'm going to put all
the money can into this second
Liberty Loan"
This farmers view Is that of the
majority OF agriculturists in the
Central PENNSYLVANIA region. Not
for years have the farmers been so
well fixed as they are to-day.
And the idea of insuring them
selves against the loss of their gov
ernment has taken hold big.

TELLS OF GRIM
HORRORS OF WAR
Woman on Visit Here Says
Raiders Drop Poisoned
Candy For Children

Miss Kathyrine I. Malone has just
returned from Great Britain where
she went last year with friend. Miss
Malone expected to return in June,
but was detained in Ireland She took
up work in one OF the big munition
factories as a flrst-aid nurse
Miss Malone tells her experiences
while in the old country. She says
munitions are made almost entirely
by women. Some of the young girls
work in the rooms where deadly
acids used in the munitions are kept.
They know that in few months they
VIII be absolutely useless ,and yet
they are willing to give their lives
for the country.
Watch Raids with Interest
The Yep" raids are watched for
with interest. The cities are kept in
total darkness at night. The street
lights are only little gas lights which
give forth just glimmer. They are
covered over so that no light can
be seen from above.
The everlasting sight of the wound
ed gives the country dismal look,
she says, The convalescent soldiers
are given work in the munltion fac
tories and as soon as they get well
enough to go back they are sent
to the trenches again. 1t is thought
that the trains show the way to the
cities. and so when a Yep" raid is
expected all of the trains are stopped
She expected to sail for home in
the early summer. but her journey
was postponed until September. When
she did finally receive word that she
could embark. her time of departure
was postponed four times. She was
notified forty-eight hours before the
ship sailed and was sworn to secrecy
that she would neither tell the name
of the ship or at what hour she was
to sail. During the first few days
OF the voyage homeward, the passen-
gers carried theil lifebelts with them
wherever they went. At night they
sleep with the belts in reach. They
were given practice in putting on
the belts and in getting in the
lifeboas.
Try to Poison Children
Miss Malone stated this morning
that the awful things that are told
OF what the Germans are doing Il
the Belgians is not 10 be- compared
with the things that are actually
happening and which are too horribl,
to tell. In England the Germans are
dropping sweets and cakes on the
roads and Streets. full of poison. They
expect the children to pick them III
and eat them. No children are al.
lowed to go out of the house unles.
some older person is with them, t.
watch them and see that they do no
put anything into their mouths.
