WAR ADJUSTMENTS
Satisfactory Business for Midsummer
Says Bradstreet's

New York. Aug. 3-Bradstreet's tomor-
row will say:
Bus!ness is rapidly adjusting itself to
war conditions and is uniformly sd tsfac-
tory for a midsummer period, but ordi-
nary civilian demand as distinguished
from governmental wants lacks the snap
of a few months ago and on the whole
buying operations for normal purposes
are streaked with more or less conseva-
tisn. Moreover, extremely hot weather
has exerted a retarding effect upon sales
of final distributors, while at the same
time restricting outputs of manufactured
articles. Nevertheless funda mental I'M
dercurrents are favorable, optimism as to
fall trade exists, crop news on the whole
is encouraging.
In industrial lines very little Is heard
about summer shutdowns, and while hot
weather the past week appreciably re-
duced outputs the foremost plant has to
do with the scarcity of labor and con-
Germ over the workings of the draft law
Incidentally localized labor disturba noes
are numerous.

colleges in New York. returned home
Sunday. He was at the same college

DR.. Matthias is well pleased with his
work and feels confident that he will
be better able to look after the needs
of his patients.
Last Saturday he was in Niagara
Falls and said that il was showing
most of the day. Enroute home he
found that practically the entire dis
lance was covered with snow. SO it
was mt a surprise to him on reach
ing Audubon to see the ground COW

WOMANS' CLUB BELIEVES
IN PREPAREDNESS

Irish potatoes and navy beans
will be the best Towering plants to
cultivate next summer in view of
the call for preparedness in feed
ing the nation" said one member of
the Womans' Club yesterday in dis
cussing the topic of "Beautifying the
Home Grounds"
This is worth thinking about al
though the speakers of the afternoon
urged the planting of hardy shrub
berry and the common ANNALS among
Towering plants believing that
beauty in our daily lives is also a
necessity Many questions at the
close of the talks showed marked in
terest and a desire TO know more
about the cultivation of flowers and
to obtain a list of hardy kinds that
will stand the variable Iowa climate.
Among the shrubs mentioned as
hardy were: SNOWFALL. lialac, titiac,
weigelia and the rambler roses as
we'll as a number of roses in bush
form.
Some ANNALS recommended for
general planting, were zinnia, aster
marigold saliva sweet peas, portu-
laca, candy tuft and sweet alyssum.
All of these give returns in bloom
for little care and most people are
not willing TO give sufficient care TO
tender plants to measure success.
Mrs. Jas. Goodwill and Mrs. Laura
Delahoyde were the speakers.
Previous to this discussion on hor-
ticulture. Mrs. Charles Wilde sang
two songs that were unusually pleas
ing and inspiring, so much so that
when she responded to hearty en-
core with the new Womans' Club,
which was of her own improvisation,
it was of no effort to persuade
large number of ladies to remain
until after adjournment and begin
practice as a Womans' Club chorus.
The Angel cake demonstration by
Mrs. George Dye proved very attrac-
tive and although this was really
first on the program We have men
toned it last because it seemed more
fitting 10 bring the two parts of the
demonstration, the making and the
sampling of the finished product
close together.
Everyone was wondering if hot
angel cake would taste as good as
it smelled when Mrs. Dye sprung a
surprise by serving two beautifully
frosted angel food cakes that had
been baked earlier at home and were
just right These with tea made
dainty refreshment which were
thoroughly enjoyed while the demon
strating cake was loosing from the
pan.
BY special request another dem
onstration will be a part of the May
program. uses for Egg folks,
will be demonstrated by different
club women and will be. unusually
interesting because it is necessary
to use left overs in order to keep
down the high cost of living.

BONDING PROPOSITION CARRIES

The question OIL issuing DOnGS IN
the sum of $4,000 which was sub
mitted to vote of the people of
Audubon at special election Mon
day carried by majority of }S.
Men and women voted on the prop
osition. The women in the second
ward cast a majority of votes against
the proposition but in the first ward
the men and women gave it a email
majority.
While the $4,000 issue has been
granted, it is more than likely that
less than half that amount will be
used The water mains will he eX-
tended and some Improvements made
at the pumping station. but other
improvements that We're cOntempla3
ed several months ago. will probably
not be made now. Conditions have
arisen that make / tseem unwise to
undertake the contemplated improve
ments There is no telling wnat eff
feet the war will have no business
conditions, and the city council, feels
no unnecessary expense should he in
Cured. Among the contemplated
improvements was the erection of a
new standpipe. but on account of the
war. steel is so high that il would
seem unwise to make that change at
this time.
