DEPENDABLE NEWS SERVICE

People of Audubon and vicinity
have long realized that the Audubon
Republican was among the really
good newspapers of the state, and
that dependence could be placed in
the articles of news that appear in il
each and every week. During the
past few weeks while interest has
been at the boiling point, The Repub-
lican has been extremely careful to
give only such news as was absolute
ly reliable. Especially is this true of
the news items and bulletins that
have been issued from this Office Civ
ing the names of those who were
drafted into the army. Other lists
were published, but they were not
correct. The Republican is the only
paper that gave the news in Audubon
correctly. This fact the readers have
fully appreciated. 1t is a fixed policy
in this office to publish no leading
news item without being verified. By
so doing we avoid many heartaches.
mistakes and misunderstanding.
The local exemption board has COM
plimented this paper highly for the
extreme care it exercised in giving
the first news of the draft in all of its
stages, and giving it absolutely cor
rect

BROTHERS ARE MUSICIANS

Audubon has two young men who
are splendid musicians. they being
Holger and Earhardt Andersen. They
have delighted their neighbors with
music and many have remarked that
they ought to be members of Audi
bon's cornet band. We understand
both of these young men were stu
dents under one of the greatest band
cmasters in Denmark. The Audubon
band needs recruits to bring it up to
higher standard and no doubt these
young men would make a valuable
addition to this popular musical or
gnization. Few towns in the state
can boast of sucE variety of must
clans as Audubon. Here is hoping
the Andersen brothers will do their
full duty by joining the band and do
ing their part to entertain the thou
sands of people who visit Audubon
every week.
