LARGE CROWDS
WILL GATHER
The Birth of A Nation Which Comes
To The Crescent Theatre Friday
With Daily Matinee.

When David w. Griffith started
the outdoor staging of the Civil War
and Reconstruction scenes in THE
Birth OF A Nation" which will be
shown at the Crescent Theatre on
Friday and Saturday, April 1914, he
was confronted with seemingly in
superable difficulties. An area of
private war was required about as
the corner of Belgium occupied by
the Anglo-French forces. Thousands
of cavalrymen had to be shown, in
an historic raid of the North Caro-
lima clans. Their run was to be
many, many miles of typical South
ern sandy roads. Though an ac-
knowledged wizard of the films, Mr..
Griffith is not a war lord" with
power to commander.
In this emergency, the country au-
thorities of The Birth OF A Nation"
producing locale were applied. They
finally consented to mark off an area
of ten square miles for the use of
the horsemen. Along all the roads
within this area, the county COM
missioners posted notices forbidding
all traffic on "the day of days"
Pedestrians were also warned off.
But the roads themselves did not
look southern. David Griffith hand
led this difficulty-with the author
tiles permission-by remarking such
of the highways as would come with
in the cameras eye. Many tons of
sand and gravel were spread by
gangs of his workmen. Landscape
engineering changed the look of the
landscape to the rounded hills, piny
woods and deep gullies of old North
State. The race of the northern
clansmen to rescue their South Caro-
lima brethren took place on the ap-
pointed day, without an accident or a
flaw. After it was over, Mr. Grit
fth's men scraped the sand off the
mecadam roads. took down the signs,
and life in the sleepy countryside re-
sumed its normal course 1t cost
about $25, 900 10 do the trick-the
producer thinks it was worth all it
cost particularly after hearing the
enthusiastic comments of THE Birth
OF A Nation patrons on his work.

MAY ORGANIZE 4 COMPANY
FROM AUDUBON COUNTY

Steps were taken at the regular
monthly meeting of the Commercial
Club Monday evening looking for
ward to the organizing of COM
pany of soldiers in Audubon county.
From present indications Audubon
county will be called upon to furnish
her share of young men to enter the
war that the United States will wage
against Germany, and upon sugges-
ton of w. G. Wilson, who is vet
eran of the Spanish-American War
the club decided to appoint a COM
mittee to hold a patriotic meeting at
some time in the near future to see
if a company of 14S men could not
be secured in the county. Mr.. Will
son realized that it would be better
for the boys to be in one company
instead of enlisting in different COM
panies as was the case when he en-
listed in 1898. The state adjutant
will be communicated with at once
and a meeting arranged for.
The matter of securing a soldiers
monument for Audubon county was
also discussed and a committee will
confer with the board of supervisors
to see if suitable monument can
not be secured in compliance with a
law now on the statute books of
the state which empowers the board
of supervisors to levy tax for that
purpose.
The Club has extended an invita-
ton to the Hon. ]. B. Weaver of
DesMoines to be the orator at the
Decoration Day exercises in Audubon
this year. The editor of the Repub-
lican learned that Mr.. Weaver was
available and was empowered by the
Club to communicate with the Hon.
II. J. Mantz to complete arrange
ments with Mr.. Weaver.
DR.. A. l.. Brooks presented the
matter of a county hospital which
could be established and maintained
by disposing of a portion of the
county farm. A committee was ap-
pointed to see what could be done
in the matter Other counties of
the state have taken similar action,
and in this manner the county can
also care for its own patients, at
less cost than under the present sys-
tenn
The lecture course committee
made report which revealed a
deficit $500 which has been as
sumed and liouidated by the club.

EASY LESSONS IN
BABY RAISING
Bathing---Sleep---Fresh Air

Can you battle a baby too
often?" asked Ruth as she and
Helen visited durin. the social
hour at the Baby Club"
Yes. l think one should use
judgment in bathing a child as well
as in other things A healthy baby
will be benefited by tub bath daily,
winter and summer, if the room in
which the bath is given can be prop
eTly heated. In very hot weather
an additional sponge bath at bed
time would be cooling and make a
child rest better. but even a good
thing can be overdone."
Jane says she gives her baby two
tub baths and several sponges a day
in hot weather" said Ruth.
James baby is exceptionally
strong or it would be harmed by so
much bathing. Even a strong man
is not advised to indulge in more
than one tub bath daily with an adj
ditional sponge or shower after vio-
tent exercise. Use the boracic solu-
tiun 70 washing ;hc baby's eyes"
NO, do you buy it ready pre-
pared?"
| You can buy it prepared but |
always make my own. Just buy a
dimes worth of the borax crystals,
put them in a large bottle, fill the
bottle with water, let it dissolve and
it is ready for use.
But how do you know when it
is not too strong for baby's eyes,"
There is not much danger as
water only dissolves certain
amount of the boraX and the re-
mainder is left in the bottom and
you can add more water from time
to time but perhaps you will like it
| better if l give you an exact receipt
| | found in Il reliable pamphlet
Yes, | like to be exact. So be
sure and give ii to me over the
phone as soon as you get home so
you won't forget But how do you
use the solui ion
Il use a bit OF absorbent cotton
with the solution and sponge gently,
using fresh cotton for each eye. You
will find that a tooth pick with a
| little cotton twisted on the end and
dipped in the boracic solution a
good way to clean baby's nostrils,
| too"
Il expect every ore will think we
are visiting too much by ourselves
but | must ask a few more questions.
When should the tub bath be
given?"
You seem to think | am author
ity on baby raising. laughed Helen,
but | have not had much experience
so can only tell you what ! have
read on this point / prefer to
battle Billy Boy in the morning, just
after my dishes are finished and be-
fore he has his morning meal. Then,

sible each day, and never immediate

my baby don't want to take two
maps day and he gets so restless
before night"
He should sleep more. Give his
i bath and morning sleep a little ear
lier and insist on an afternoon rest.
He will soon learn the habit Put
him to bed early in the evening,
not later than seven o'clock and he
will sleep sounder than if he plays
all evening and gets nervous
Do you open your windows at
night in Billy Boys room?"
Il should say / do. l pin down
his bed clothing with big safety pins
so he cannot kick it off and then
open window, varying the amount
of cold air according to the weather,
and place a screen in front of the
window so there is no direct draft
on his bed. Even in the daytime he
don't sleep well unless he has fresh
air. One friend of mine uses a
sleeping bag for her baby. 1t is
made long and wide so there is
plenty of room for the child to kick
and roll over without getting tang
led up and she says it solves the
problem of keeping her warm on
cold nights
The sleeping bag sounds good to
me. l believe l will try it for my
baby. What is it made out off"
She made the one she was using
from light weight cotton blanket
and it was easily kept clean. warm
and soft"
my goodness, Helen, l have kept
you here until every one is going
home. The lesson was good today
but l have learned fully as much
more from your answers to my ques-
tions so before We go l want to
thank you for the help"
"You are certainly welcome,
Ruth, to all you have received. 1t
seems to me that is one of the fine
things about the Baby Club" II
is such a grand place to exchange ex-
periences and opinions.
This is what Helen gave Ruth
over the telephone that evening.
Receipt for boracic solution.
Put one level teaspoonful of
borax crystals is tumbleful of
very hot water. Let stand, covered,
until dissolved. 1t may then be
kept in a bottle made sterile by boil
ing. 1t should be well closed and
will then be ready for use at any
time.
Bathing-One tub bath for baby
each day, preferably in the forenoon
with an additional sponge batn be-
fore retiring in very warm weather.
Sleep-New born babies should
sleep most of the time. AS they
grow they sleep less in the daytime
and wake but little at night. Plenty
of sleep makes healthy babies.

Hold JOBS FOR uFE'[AST WEEKS COURT
ALL POSTMASTERS NOW UNDER
CIVIL SERVICE BLANKET-FILL
VACANCIES BY EXAMS.

Under an executive order issued by
the president March Both, the status
of postmasters is very materially
changed. From the text of the order
it appears that vacancies will not &C
cur until pOstmasters die, resign, or
are removed by the postmaster gen
eral; and to fill the resulting vacan-
cies competitive civil service examin-
ations will be held
Executive Order.
Hereafter, when a vacancy occurs
in the position of postmaster of any
office of the first, second or third class
as result of death, resignation, re-
the first assistant postmaster general
approved by the postmaster general
to the effect that the efficiency CT
needs of the service requires that a
change shall be made, the postmaster
general shall certify the fact to the
forthwith hold an open competitive
examination to test the fitness of such
applicants to fill such vacancy, and
when such examination has been held
and the papers in connection there
with have been rated, the said COM
mission shall certify the result there
of TO the postmaster general, who
shall submit to the president the
name Of the highest qualified eligi-
BILE for appointment to fill such va
cancy, unless it is established that the
character or residence Of such appli-
cant disqualifies him for the appoint
ment. No person who has passed his
sixty-fifth birthday shall be given the
examination herein provided for.
Dated March 81. 1917.
Thousands of postoffice clerks over
the country are pleased by this ruling
as it affords them an opportunity to
qualify for any postoffice where a va
cancy may occur If they pass a sat

ceive the position. Heretofore the
postmasterships themselves have been
doled out under the spoils system.

SCHROEDER CAUGHT
MUCH SOUGHT JAIL BREAKER
CAPTURED LAST THURSDAY
is UNCONCERNED.

Albert Schroeder, the worst wanted
OF the four men who broke jail a week
ago last Saturday night, was taken in
to custody early last Thursday morn
ing on a farm near Bagley. 1t seems
that at 2 o'clock that morning Schroe-
der went to the house of a farmer
named Ed. Yost and asked for a meal
This was given to him and an invi-
tatiOn extended to stay and help with
the chores. Schroeder accepted and
while he was out with Mr.. Yost, Mrs.
Yost telephoned the neighbors. They
came and about the same time Mar
shall Oswald of Bagley, arrived.
Schroeder made no fuss and later
came back to Lancaster with sheriff
Hymer without any demurr
Schroeder talked at length last
Thursday afternoon about his little
adventure and seemed to regard the
whole affair as a joke. He giggled
and looked owlish when asked how
he had Jared during his absence but
said that while he had only eaten
twice while away, he was not hungry.
He was not shot in the hand as report
ed

Schroeder said that he and Wolff
ran when the latter was caught and
that Wolff had fallen, as he supposed,
dead, but that he kept on running.
The bullets passed him and then he
passed the bullets, according to
Schroeder. He stayed in the woods
during the entire time and said that
all he did was to skip out of the way
when anyone came along.
He had no weapon and had no cab
in at Bagley or anywhere else The
place where he was caught was four
miles northeast Of Bagley. One meal
was obtained at Fred Ready's, faru-
er living in the neighborhood. The
other at Yost's.
Schroeder says that Wolff and Len
nOX, ''the trusty," planned the affair
with Houtler. He is a big fellow,
about six feet tall and Of spare build.
He seems to be of a jocose nature and
giggles a good deal when questioned
He said when asked if he wasn't about

tured We'll, you can take that either
