CORN HUSKING Is
NOW UNDER WAY

Some new corn is being husked this
week and by the last of the week the
work in southwestern Iowa will be
we'll under way. That there will be
record crop in this section is al.
ready assured. The question oil
help in gathering the crop has both.
cred some but not seriously. In a
number of places farmers have held
meetings to discuss the wage question
and an average of cents q bushel
will be paid for corn huskers, in
Guiding board and lodging ard about
Shenandoah the farmers have agreed
to provide elevators for unloading
the corn at the crib.
A good soaking rain would be
greatly appreciated over this section
and 1t came last night. The mois-
ture was needed for fall blowing
and to put the ground in condition
for winter. Some fall wheat seeding
has been prevented by q lack of
moisture. The splendid rain last
night was of much benefit but more
is needed to do any appreciable de-
gree of good.
Heavy Selling of Corn
Extensive selling of speculative
holdings Of new corn futures WIS
preciptated last week by several i'm
portant developments, resulting in
decline of about s cents in the De-
ccmber deliveries.
Old Corn Remains High
Practically no tendency has yet de-
veloped toward closing the wide gap
between the scarcity prices for the
small available supply of old corn
and the quotations for December de-
livery of the new crop. The carlots
market weakened a little Saturday
but white corn sold above 50 bush
ell and mixed S1.S6. Farmers are
feeding the new crop on a widening
area and some sales have been re-
ported at little above dollar a
bushel in Missouri and a little be-
low that price in the south, but no
important quantities are yet offering
for shipment to market centers.
The big premiums for carlots afford
a strong inducement for farmers to
gather and market as Soon as it is
in condition to shell and move
ment seems likely to start before
the end OF this month if the weather
is favorable.

MESS FUND FOR
OUR SOLDIER BOYS
Audubon County Citizens Raising
Funds For Her Soldiers Now
In Training at Camp Dodge

For the benefit of the Audubon
county boys at Camp Dodge, a move
ment has been launched here for the
purpose Of raising Mess Fund.-,
This fund is for the supplying Of
money to buy such articles which
are very essential tho not absolute
ly necessary to camp life, and not
furnished by the government. Such
articles as tooth brushes, combs, shoe
polishing kits, etc. These articles
are not supplied by the government
but by the soldiers themselves. The
military ball given here by Unit X.
was for the purpose Of raising a SIM
liar fund for that company. In case
OF bad colds or minor sickness not
serious enough for the patient to be
taken to the hospital, this fund is
to supply the care and medicine nee
essary. The boys at Camp Dodge
need a similar fund to the one that
Unit X. has. Unit X. had at the time
they were here, more than $4,000,
In their fund They spent prior to
their coming here, more than $4,000
purchasing equipment that was not
supplied by the government. So IL
may be said that Unit X has money,
and values worth more than $4,000.
The boys in Camp Dodge started
the log rolling by subscribing at least
a dollar apiece. A subscription pa
per was started here a few days ago.
At the present time, but twelve here
have donated 81 each. Kimballton
has raised more than $50 for this
fund. Extra is starting one but at
this time we have had no reports
from there as to how much has been
raised. A paper for the same pur-
pose will be started in Brayton and
Gray as soon as the men at the head
of IT have time to do the work ne
cessary.
One of these papers has been at
the Reinemund Hardware Co. few
days but..owing to Mr.. Reinemund
leaving the last of the week to be
gone for a week or ten days. it is
now in the hands of Ray Booton at
the Billiard parlor and another will
be found.atsthe First National Bank
and a third at the Farmers State
Bank. This fund is a very necessary
asset to the boys and all who can
should leave their dollars with one
of the above named institutions.
The list of those who have subscribed
and the amount they gave is as fol-
lows:

30 MARRIED MEN
ARE EXEMPTED
Local Exemption Board Takes Matter
Up With The District Board And
Secures Their Release

B. F. Wilson, H. A. Northup and
DR.. A. l.. Brooks, who constitute the
local board of exemption have secur-
ed the exemption of 80 Audubon
county married men who were draft
ed into the new United States Army
on the ground of dependencies.
The board in Audubon county held
to the instructions of the provost
marshall to the letter and was highly
complimented by the district board
at Des Moines for carrying out the
instructions in such an efficient man
ner. There were numerous reports
that other counties in the state were
exempting married men with depen-
dents. These reports were investiga-
ted and when it was learned that
they were true, the local board at
once made application to reopen the
cases of the married men drafted in
this county. Their endeavors to Sc
cure releases bore fruit and yester-
day H. A. Northup, clerk of the board
received official notice of the follow
ing exemptions.

This will be gratifying news to
many of the men and their families
for it was working a hardship on
many of them. Several of the men
most of whom were farmers, had al
ready disposed of their stock. Some
held public sales while others had
gone so far as to sell their farms.

We do not have the list of the boys
In camp and the amount each con-
trfbuted but we understand that ev-
cry one gave what they could to the
fund.
There may be some misunderstand-
ing regarding the apportionment OF
the money as all the boys from this
county are not in the same company.
Provision for this condition is made
so that each company to which any
of the boys belong will receive a pro-
portionate amount. That is, IL there
are six boys in one company and five
in another, the amount each company
will receive would be that one would
receive 5-11 of the amount and tha
the other would receive Gil.
This money is not spent for in
dividual betterment but for the bene-
MT OF the entire company. All men
OF the company will receive the same
pleasure and benefit. The other
counties of the state are supplying
their men with similar fund and n
Audubon county fails to make her do
nations. it will be the one in the nine
tynine that refused to make things "a
pleasant as possible for her boys.
An earnest desire of the men in
charge of the fund requests that the
people assist in this movement and
push 1t thru as rapidly as possible.
