his left, these two men from a strong

C-D EASY LESSONS IN
n BABY RAISING
S/ UNsPOII.ING THE SPOILED CHILD
UNspOILING THE SPOILED CHILD

"What will l do with this baby?
He grows worse every day. l tell
Jim that he inherits that awful tenn
per from his grand father" Mrs.
White sighed and turning to her Off
spring who was ina perfectly lovely
tantrum, kicking and screaming and
banging his head on TIE floor, she
said, Come dearie, don't cry and
mother will get you much nicer
toy than the other boys have and
some candy too"
did it ever occur to you, Mrs.
White, that such an exhibition of
temper would be much better con-
trolled by few spanhings than a
promise of candy?" said blunt Aunt
Jane who was inclined to tell the
plain truth on any occasion.
why that would only. make him
cry more" said the mild little mother
who was still coaxing her two year
old baby to be good.
"Try and see," replied Aunt Jane
who believed in control at an early
age.
ooh no, / could not hurt my baby,
Mothers little lamb will be good
when he gets home and has the nice
candy and the new toy" and Mrs.
White was still cooling to the strug-
Cling child as she managed by sheer
force to get him into his wraps and
started for home.
Then Aunt Jane exploded in
wrathful sentences concerning the
need of more discipline nowadays.
Tell us how you unspoiled Phil
lip? suggested Helen because she
| thought some of the Baby Club mem
bers might profit by the story which
she had heard many times.
"Well, you see Phillip was our
only child for six years and l guess
we did about the usual job of spoil
| ing an only child. He was naturally
headstrong and | was not very we'll
so he became a veritable tyrant in
| the household. He demanded his
own way and got it, His father re-
belled on sacrificing his much need
| ed rest to the humors of healthy
child whose habits demanded drinks
and lunches in the middle of the
night but his threats to give the well
deserved punishment or let him cry
until he was tired of it brought me
to tears and he gave up the fight
to save my feelings.
Then a little brother came to
Phillip. He had longed for baby
in the house because other boys had
baby brothers or sisters but as soon
as the baby was old enough to take
his toys his resentment caused him
to strike the child hard blows and
it was impossible to leave them alone
for fear of a real injury to the young
err child. Reasoning was of no avail
and shutting him in closet result
ed in tantrums that made me fear

OUR COMMON PURPOSE

Senator Cummns' address be-
fore the mayors, county attorneys,
sheriffs and peace officers of the state
was received with enthusiasm. 1t
was earnest in it's patriotism, and
conservative in its counsel.
The senator gave emphatic warn
ing to his constituents that free
dom of speech can be abused. One
man may refer to another as thief,
and thereby exercise freedom Of
speech. But criminal libel proceed
ing may bring him to the penitentiary
for unwisely exercising it.
This is not the time to take dan
gerous chances by criticising the gov
eminent in a spirit of hostility to
the war. We have given precious
hostages to the world for the success
of our enterprise. 1t is neither pa
triotic nor within the bounds of right
to now say what might properly have
been said before war had been de-
clared.
But having made the duty Of every
American PLAIN the senator was con-
tent to leave the burden of proof
where the law puts it, and to accept
law that every man is innocent until
he is proved guilty. He said it would
be hard for him to believe that in
any but sporadic instances the people
of Iowa were contemplating anything
but loyal support of the govern
ment. ana he gave no encouragement
to the notion that people of German
ancestry are to be held as suspects
until they affirmatively prove their
disloyalty.
The situation in Iowa is very much
now as it was with the protestant
churches a generation ago. There
was then determined hunt for
heresy. and men like Professor Swing
and DR.. Thomas were forced out of
their denominations. But the pro-
testant churches soon found it better
to emphasize the things on which all
were agreed. and magnify their af-
firmative purpose. A heresy trial is
almost unknown today, although
what was said by Professor Swing and
DR.. Thomas may be heard from any
protestant pulpit.
Now is a good time to emphasize
the affirmative purpose of America
and keep before us the things on
which we are all agreed. We shall
gain nothing by hunting for heresy
There are bound to be differences Of
opinion, and men are bound to say
things in anger or disgust that could
be made actionable. But until there
is an actual organized effort to dis
credit Iowa's part in the war, much
more is to be gained for the cause
of patriotism by talking about our
common aims than by picking out a
man or a group Of men for criminal
prosecution.

THE FINISHING OF
THE PAVING CONTRACT

In an interview with Z. b. Flynn,
of the Flynn Paving Co. he informed
representative of this paper that
he did not feel justified in filing a
bid for the paving Of the cemetery
road, contract for which was to
have been let by the city council last
Saturday. He states that it would
be practically impossible to secure
the necessary material at this time.
In fact, he is having hard work Sc
curing enough material to finish the
present contract, but hopes to ar
range for the material so that the
contract can be completed by the
first of October.
Mr.. Flynn and his workmen have
worked faithfully, and we believe
have given Audubon a splendid job
of paving. The citizens in general,
already begin to realize that the
project is going to be worth all it has
cost to make the improvement, and
are, as a rule, satisfied with the paw
ing.
There is some talk of establishing
another paving district for next year
which will include the cemetery road,
number of blocks in West Audubon
and few blocks in the main part OF
town that will connect up the paving
already completed. This work will
likely be undertaken If business con-
ditions are normal next year.
Mr.. Flynn has every reason to be-
leive that he will finish the contract
here by October first. AS stated
in last weeks Republican, his COM
pany has large contract at Sioux
City which calls for completion be-
fore winter and his force of workmen
are working industriously to COM
plete the Audubon contract at the
earliest possible moment.
The work this summer has pro-
crossed very satisfactorily and the
inspector employed by the city, has
had little difficulty in seeing that
the concrete was fully up to specifi-
cations. Only few accidents have
occurred, and these have been of a
slight nature.
If Audubon contemplates paving
in another year, We hope that the
Flynn Paving Co., will be able to
submit bid on the work for the
company has proven beyond a ques-
ton of doubt that they are reliable
and trustworthy. Mr.. Flynn has
made many friends in Audubon dur
ing his stay in the city, and all of
them would be delighted to have him
return.

for his mind for you know that I'M

ten causes brains storms that may re-
suit in idiocy. Finally | conclud-
ed to try a switch. The result was
magical.
l remember how surprised he was
the first time / used it around his
legs. He was in the middle of the
floor, flat on his back kicking and
screaming, quite hysterical. l reach
ed for the little switch l had provided
at the advice Of a nerve specialist
and gave the angry baby few sharp
strokes on his legs and the physical
pain brought him to instantly. He
looked at me in surprise and said,
"Why, you hurt me mother, you hurt
me-"
"You see it was the first time he
had been hurt, although he had Of
ten given pain to dumb animals as
we'll as his little brother. 1t was
the beginning of cure, that made
Phillip later in life one of the most
unselfish of men. / assure you that
little brother never was allowed to
become an autocrat in the house
and a misery to our friends and
neighbors. He was taught self con-
troll early and / am sure had hap
pier childhood because he was never
spoiled"
Il saw one beautiful little girl
loose the sweepstakes prize at a
Baby Health Contest by an exhibit
ton of temper. The judge said that
although the child was quite perfect
physically the lack of self control
under trying circumstances showed
( a lack of mental balance that rank
ed her lower than some children
that were more imperfect physically.
She also said that no doubt the child
was not to blame for the nervous
instability but must suffer all her
life because her parents had spoiled
her" Come Aunt Jane, We must go
or you will miss your train" and
Helen hurried her aunt away so the
story of unspoiling spoiled child
could be discussed freely without
Aunt James assistance for the pre-
sent day mother is prone to object
to any kind of discipline and there
by waiting until a later time to cor
rect the faults that should be elimi-
mated in baby days.
Don't spoil your baby. 1t is not
kindness to raise child without
| control Nature demands control of
self and natures law are memorable.
Don't think that a child under six
cannot be unspoiled. 1t can be done
but it takes patience and much con-
troll on the part of parents to accom-
plish. If child of ten is absolutely
uncomfortable in the home the pub
lie school is the only thing that
stands between the spoiled child and
life that is menace to the COM
munity.

NO BIDS WE'RE FILED

The city council held special
session at the council chamber last
Saturday to receive bids for the paw
ing of the street to the cemetery.
When the time came for action, no
bids had been filed, so the matter
had to be dropped. The Flynn Paw
ing Co., at present finishing a con-
tract embracing 40 blocks, did not
file bid owing to the scarcity Of
material. The contract was too
small to attract other bidders, and
they are likewise experiencing the
same difficulty in securing the neces-
sary material. 1t is to be regretted
that the work could not be under
taken this year, but perhaps another
year will see the work done, and IL
not it must rest until later.

said, Like good stewards. we should
so account for every dollar of our
appropriations as to make it perfectly
evident what it was spent for and in
what way 1t was spent" Many peo-

he think that the two Houses Of
