JUDGE THORNELL RESIGNS
AFTER 80 YEARS SERVICE

While the resignation of Judge A.
b. Thornell as MEMBER of the bench
of the Fifteenth Iowa judicial district
announced Saturday, came as a sur
prise to his many friends in Audubon,
it had been known for some time by
members of the bar that he contem-
plated such a move.
A candidate in the person Of T. s.
Stevens, lawyer of Fremont county,
has already been mentioned as Judge
Thornell's successor. He has the in
dorsement of the bar of the district,
it is said, and probably will receive
the appointment.
Judge Thornell' resignation was re-
ceived with universal regret. For thir-
ty years judge in the district. he was
dean of all district judges in Iowa.
He took Office January 1. 1887, and
had served continuously ever since.
Before that he was elected district
prosecutor, serving two years. He is
70 years old, and although in good
health, feels that he has served his
sentence" He will take up the
practice of law with his son at Sid
ney. "My wife and enjoy each 9TH
er's company more than we enjoy any
thing" said Judge Thornell Saturday.

WHAT A WOMAN MADE
IN ONE YEARS TIME

Mrs. Sarah Kennedy, of Wichita,
one of the hustling women on the
farm has quite an interesting state
ment to make for her years work.
For three years past Mrs. Kennedy
has given the Republican report of
her earnings on the farm, and they
have proved to be of such interest to
the farmers wives, that we requested
her to continue making the report
from year to year. For the year 1916
Mrs. Kennedy made = total of $685.
80, from her cows and chickens. She
shows these earnings from 10 cows
and $50 chickens. Early in July
some chicken thief took 65 of her
best hens SO she got late start with
her young chicks. She Matched 875
chicks and saved 500 of them. All Of
her first chicks died. She received
from poultry $189.04, eggs $158.05,
butter $165.95, cream $320.S5, calf
sold $125, pork produced 5000, but
ter used SIS. This does not include
the poultry, cream and milk used for
family use.
Considering everything in connec-
ton with the loss of the chickens by
theft, the dry summer weather and
other disappointments, Mrs. Kennedy
has certainly made an excellent rec
ord for the year.

A CALIFORNIA BREEZE

| E. Baxter, former resident of Au-
dubon, who is now making his home
in California wrote us a very inter-
esting letter in making a remittance
to insure another years reading of
the Republican. He headed his let
ter just as we have headed this art
icle, and knowing that he has many
friends here who are always glad 20
know what he is doing, we pass the
letter on to our readers, which is as
follows:

MAKES A SPLENDID SHOWING

During the past few years The
Audubon Republican has been pub
fishing a statement from a number
of the women in the community who
have been making some money from
their own energies in taking care of
the chickens and disposing of butter
and eggs. Last year Mrs. James
Goodwill furnished us splendid
statement and yesterday she handed
us the following report which covers
her work for the year 1916.
They have a ten acre tract near
the city on which she kept four cows,
chickens and garden truck. From
milk sold she received $319.26, but
ter sold $266.46, butter used $500
milk used $3O.27 chickens and eggs
sold $121.5S, chickens and eggs used
$5O.45, garden truck sold $3.50,
which makes a grand total of $849.-
~. Besides this Mrs. Goodwill fed
considerable milk to young stock and
still has on hand $50 head Of poul-
try.
This is a splendid showing and
Mrs. Goodwill is to be congratulated
for her untiring efforts in making
this handsome profit from such a
small tract of land.
