TO MEET IN
THIS CITY SEPTEMBER 9TH

A meeting of the farmers of Audi
bon county has been called for Sep
TENDER 9Th, and will be held in this
city on the evening of that day. The
object of this meeting is to stamp out
hog cholera, which has made its ap-
pearance in several localities. A
number of farmers have notified Geo.
A. Foley, President of the Audubon
County Industrial Association, that
their hogs are afflicted with chol-
era and he in turn has notified DR..
Fairbanks, the specialist sent out by
the government, who Is at present
making his headquarters at Manning.
These cases were Immediately in
vestigated. In some instances it was
found that the hogs did not have
cholera, but in most cases the hogs
affected did have it.
On the day specified two hog
specialists will lecture on that sub
ject and it is their intention to pre-
vent the spread of the disease and
thereby increase the meat produc-
ton of the state.
These specialists will be glad to
answer any questions which may be
| asked. This information as well as
the services of DR.. Fairbanks is free
to the farmers of this locality and
they ought to avail themselves of it,
They are paid by the government and
if they are not used by our farmers
it will be their own fault. 1t is to be
hoped that the meeting will be large.
ly attended as the subject is one
which effects every farmer in the
county.

THE YOEMEN CELEBRATE

The members of the Yeomen lodge
of Audubon enjoyed their annual
picnic last Sunday when they invad-
ed the beautiful grove on the Clark
Griffin place, one mile north of old
Hamlin. The members gathered in
the park between the hours of 1890
and 1870, and those who were with
out cars were provided with trans
portation to the picnic grounds. 1t
was an ideal day for the occasion
and the grove proved delightful
spot. Swimming and other amuse-
ment were INDUCED in until one
o'clock when great feast was
spread, in which fried chicken play
ed a prominent part. IS were pre-
sent to enjoy the feast and all of
them report that they were too full
for utterance before the last course
was served.
Stump speeches by the ladies en-
livened the afternoon program and
just before starting on the homeward
journey, ice cream and cake was
served. The Yeomen ladies deserve
much credit for the manner in which
the affair was planned and carried
out. That the order may live and
prosper is the wish of every member.

CAMPAIGN FOR A
BIGGER WHEAT CROP

j. S. Quist, special wheat agent
sent out by the Federal Department
of Agriculture, arrived in the city
Tuesday and will remain in the
county a couple of weeks. Twelve
special representatives are being sent
into the southern half of Iowa
counties this week to undertake six
weeks campaign for an increased
winter wheat crop to be planted this
fall These men will secure lists of
farmers who have seed what to sell
and of those who need to buy seed.
two together. Mr.. Quist will have
charge of Guthrie, Audubon and Cass
counties.
These men will work in the var
ious counties in cooperation with
the chairman and members of the
county councils of national defense.
They are being sent out by the fed
eral government at the request of the
national council of defense as part OF
the national increased wheat acreage
program. Governor w. l.. Harding
has written a letter to the members
of the county defense boards, asking
them to aid in discovering the needs
of farmers in regard to seed wheat.
Iowa can and should double the
usual winter wheat acreage" said the
governor in his letter. at is plain
that there is to be great need of
more wheat another year, appeal to
you to help us at once in locating a
supply of winter wheat seed. With
the government guarantee of min
imun of 50 a bushel almost GER
tainity it is evident that wheat will
be a profitable crop

WILL MOVE TO STUART

Ameil Waltz came to the office
Monday afternoon and told us to take
his little ad out of the paper. Last
week he inserted an ad offering to
sell his $50 acre farm and before
Saturday night he disposed of it to
Joe Conrad for $4,000, or about
s227 an acre. Elevep years ago Mr.
Waltz purchased this farm four miles
southwest of Audubon from Madison
Spencer at $50 an acre. He has, OF
course, made a number of splendid
improvements on the place, but over
and above the actual outlay, he re-
ceives a handsome increase.
Mr.. Waltz purchased 240 acres OF
land near Stuart a short time age
and the first of next March will give
possession here and move his family
to his new, farm. We dislike to heal
OF his leaving, but hope he will pro.
fit by making the change

WILL LOCATE IN ILLINOIS

S. w. Spath who for several years
has been farming three quarters of a
mile north of Ross, left Monday even
ing for Genesco, ILL.,, where he will
visit relatives and look for a location.
Seventeen years ago he came to this
county from Illinois, and has made a
decided success. On account of his
relatives living near Genesco, he pre-
fers TO live there.
Mr.. Spath recently sold his so
acres to VIM. Goemble, of Creston at
price of 1925 an acre. He is going
to retire from active work and will
probably purchase a residence pro-
perty in Genesco so that he vii. have
a place to live when he gives poss-
ession of his farm the first of next
March. He also informs us that he
will hold public sale on the 4th of
December

BUYS PURE BRED CATTLE

August Johnson, proprietor of the
Larland Hereford Farm, has just re-
ceived five head of pure bred Here
ford cows which he purchased at a
sale in Sioux City last week. Mr..
Johnson has been exhibiting a num-
Der of his cattle at the various county
fairs now being held in this circuit,
and has been successful in winning a
number of good premiums.
His new purchases will be added
to his already large herd and put in
condition for his big sale which is to
be held at the pavilion at the fair
grounds in this city on October 18th.
His sale last year proved to be a
success and he hopes to eclipse all
former efforts at the coming sale.

RESIGNS POSITION
IN EXTRA SCHOOLS

Prof. Leo. V. Novak, who last June
was elected to the superintendency of
the public schools at Extra, was in
the city Tuesday enroute to his home
in Cedar Rapids. He has given up
his work at Extra owing to the fact
that his younger brother, Milo Novak
has been drafted into the army and
he desired to remain with his widow
ed mother. He presented the matter
to the school board at Extra and they
willingly consented to release him
from his contract. Leslie Fishwield,
who had charge of the manual train
ing in the schools last year, has beer
elected to the vacancy.
Mr.. Novak was offered splendid
position in the public schools at
Cedar Rapids provided he could be
released by the school board at Ex-
ira. The following notice appeared
in the Cedar Rapids Gazette Of yes
terday:
Leo. V. Novak, Coe football star
and captain of the Coe team of 1914
will coach the Cedar Rapids high
school Tigers for the coming year
according to an announcement made
at the board of education today.

same time. He is member of the
Beta Phi Omega fraternity at Coe.

the reflection of the bright sun from
the sand pains our eyes, we hold
them only half open.
Coming down here we enjoyed a
pleasant trip of four days and three
nights. Many sights were particu-
larly interesting, for instance, around
Muskogee, Okla, thousands of oil
pumps are visible and around Clyde,
Texas, are many large valuable or
chards and hundreds of acres of pea
nuts. OF course, the early crops are
matured, the corn, for instance, is in
the shock, but the cotton almost all
of which is grown in eastern Texas,
is not ripe. Almost all of western
Texas is worthless desert. One
place we rode eighty miles without
seeing a dwelling, so you may have
good idea of how barren and in
fertile this soil is. We saw only
two excellent farming regions, one
around Clyde the other just west of
Ell Paso, at the latter place Mexicans
make thousands of bales of alfalfa,
for the Rio Grande flows thru their
fields. 1t is a very beautiful and
fertile valley. but at present, is so
low that children can ford it.
The inhabitants of Ell Paso are
rude and uncultured. We stayed
two hours and were insulted by
several of the citizens. Was well
that we were not longer there, for
we would have had serious trouble,
since we have over 200 men. Those
coarse people live in a widely scat
tered city, a part of which is beauti-
fully nestled closely against high,
picturesque mountains.

George Dawson, another one of the
Audubon county boys who enlisted as

Percy Priestley came from Har-

will visit with relatives for a short
time. He has been drafted into the
L. S. Army. and will probably have
,to leave the middle of September
He still owns his land on which he
located the first of last March, but
he has disposed of his cattle and
growing crops. Percy takes the
matter good naturedly and says when
he is through serving his flag and
country he will go back to the farm
and begin where he left off. He re-
ports the other Audubonites in that
section of the country, prosperous
and happy.
