OLD GRAY DOCTOR
COMES IOrAILDURON

An old practitioner of medicine.
DR.. A. l.. Beers, formerly of Gray but
of late years, Salmon, Idaho, has
come to Audubon to take up the prac-
tice of medicine. His offices will be
in the rooms formerly occupied by
DR.. Matthias.
DR.. Beers for more htan twenty
five years practiced in Gray and the
many friends he has made in Audu-
bon and Gray vicinities gladly well
come him and his wife back Five
years ago DR.. Beers and his wife
moved to Idaho to live. DR.. Matthias
being called to the army, the field
of the remaining doctors being too
large for them to adequately care
required, and DR.. Beers has returned
to assist in caring for the i'll.
The many hundreds of people who
formerly knew DR.. Beers and wife
and who had been cared for by him
are glad to see him return and care
for their health interests. The
smiles concurrent with the meeting
of old familiar faces and the firm
shake of hands of old friends was
the true evidence of the esteem in
which the people of these communi-
ties held DR.. and Mrs. Beers. The
renewing of old acquaintance and
the forming of many new ones was
a pleasure not only to the Doctor
and his wife but equally so to their
friends. His former success is we'll
remembered by his former patients
and without question, the doctor will
soon have a large practice again in
this vicinity.

LETTER FINALLY RECEIVED
BY ANXIOUS PARENTS

Mr.. and Mrs. J. E. Meyer have
just received a Letter from their son.
Corporal r. r. Meyer who is now in
France in Co. c. of the 18th Railway
Engineers. He enlisted in San Fran
cisco in May. In Auguct they were
started east and on the third of that
month. he wrote letter home from
Montana. After no arrived in
France. he wrote again under date of
September 9th. 1t was in transit
thirty-six days. He stated that he
had received one letter from home and
that it was long in reaching its des-
tination. He was unable to write
very much because ii would have
been censored. He said they crossed
without any mishap and the weather
was very delightful while enroute.
All were feeling well and eargerly
looked forward to the time of action.
To those who have boys from
whom the. have not heard lately and
believe that they are on their way
to France, Mrs. Meyer says they need
not worry as their patience will be
rewarded in time by the coming of a
letter. The chief delay is in the GEN.
sor's office as it must pass thru that
of Great Britain, the United States
and possibly that of France. So peo-
ple need not fear that their boy was
sunk by a submarine just because
they receive no Letter from him.

BIG HEREFORD SALE TO-DAY

The Second Annual Sale of j. A.
Johnson's Hereford cattle which is
in progress Will, we, go to press has
every indication of being a big aver
age sale. Mr.. johnson has SO head
of cattle on the fair grounds to sell
in the stock pavilion all in the best
of condition. They are fat and
plump and big boned stock and from
the way breeders are looking them
over before hand, it gives assurance
of successful sale.
Mr.. johnson has a large number
Of young cattle for reference, the Off
spring of some of the stock he is sell
ing. One of the fine animals in the
offering is the three year old herd
bull with which August has headed
his herd the last two years. This an
imal with several of his sons and
daughters, is catalogued. One of the
sons of this bull, Mr.. Johnson refuses
to set a price on, as he is not for
sale, but is keeping him for show
purposes. He is coming two year
old and weighs about 1000. Several
of this lads brothers are equally as
good but younger and are sure to sell
at a high bid.
The cows and heifers that are sell
ing are among the best blood in this
country. Teir pedigrees run high
and few better animals can be found
anywhere. The sale managers are
highly pleased with the prospects and
looks of the cattle and declare the
sale price of this year will supercede
that of last year. Mr.. Johnson is a
good breeder and knows cattle and
their pedigrees and any one who pur-
chases today will receive an honest
history Of the animal bought If they
wish to know more than the catalog
gives, by simply asking. Everyone
of the animals selling today will be
a big asset to any Hereford herd any

CHICAGO WINS THE
WORLDS SERIES

The game last Monday was the de-
Gliding game in the worlds series of
base ball for this year. The Chicago
White Sox won the game in 4 to
score. The series opened a week
ago last Saturday at Chicago between
the White Sox and the New York
Giants. The Sox took the first two
games on Saturday and Sunday
Monday the teams moved to New
York and the Giants took the next
two games there on Wednesday
and Thursday. The teams did not
play Tuesday because of rain. They
returned to Chicago Friday and the
White Sox won the game played on
Saturday. The last game of the
series was played on Monday with the
SOx as victors.
The first game was ended with a
score of to for the Sox. The
second game ended with a score of
to 2 favoring the same team. The
third game was played in New York
on Wednesday, the giants shut out
the Sox in a to 0 score. The fourth
game was played on Thursday and
the Giants again won with the score
tallying to in their favor. On
Friday the teams returned to Chicago
to complete the series. The White
Sox won on Saturday ending in a
score of s to 5 and the last game
of the series which was the sixth and
played in New York closed with the
score board reading to in favor
Of the Sox.
Mammoth crowds were in attend
ance at each game and the gate re-
ceipts were larger than ever before
The managers of the two teams will
have left for themselves a nice juicy
roll as their summers wages. The
players share was very handsome
sum, and will amount to several
thousand dollars for each player.
Bets on the games and the series
were heavy, even locally.

FINE POTATOES RAISED HERE

Last evening, III. S. Slayton brought
to this office a sample of the potatoes
he raised this year They are the
early New York beauties and among
the best potatoes We have ever seen.
The largest of the bunch weighed %
ounces and the six weighed 81 lbs.
an average of one pound and % ozs.
each. A year ago this fall, Mr.. Stay
ton was awarded first. and second
premium on his potatoes at the coun-
ty fair. He did not enter any in
competition at the floral hall this
year but it is certain that if he had
shown any like he presented at this
office, he would have had clean
walk away. One potatoe would
make a mess for a family Of fourteen
and would have made half bushel
of French fried or Spanish chips. 1t
makes our mouth water to talk about
them and so We must desist from
further discourse on the subject of
astronomical appetite apeasers be-
tween meals as luncheon is forbid
den by the health doctors and de-
nounced by Hoover during war times.

MANY HEAR COL. SAUNDERS

Saturday evening, Colonel G.. c..
Saunders of Council Bluffs lectured
in the court house on the liberty
loan issue. Tho the crowd was not
overly large, yet the audience was
attentive. His address was one OF
the best ever heard here, boosting
the liberty loan issues. He told of
the patriotic conditions as they ex-
listed and proved without question
why it was absolutely necessary that
this bond issue be completely raised.
He stated that the United States
would have to pay an indemnity to
Germany at the rate of at least SIS
per acre If We lost the war. So it
behooves the people of the United
States to get busy and shell out their
coin and purchase the bonds so that
the government will have plenty of
money to carry on the war to a sue
cessful conclusion.
Col. Saunders is devoting his en-
tire time to The work Saturdays
address was the fourth one he had
given during the week. He went
back to Council Bluffs to take part
in the meeting held there Sunday
afternoon at which meeting they rails
ed $1,000,000 in thirty minutes. II
everytown and city does their part in
proportion to Council Bluffs the bond
issue is certain in few days.

SOME REASONING WHY
IOWA VOTED WET

The question is. who struck Billy
Patterson in Iowa."
In other words, where did all the
anti-prohibition votes come from?
Over 100000 votes were cast in
Iowa in favor of the return of the
saloon. At any rate. such is the log
ical definition of the 100000 votes.
One man says prohibition was too
bone dry; hat beer was shut out and
that whisky could be had.
Another man says the state was
too bone dry. and they feared the
next move would be against cigarets.
Hence they thought they would put
a stop to it.
Still another man says that Hav-
ner's prosecution in the interest of
Sunday closing put all the retail mer-
chants in small towns against the
amendment. They thought if Hav-
ner won out, the legislature would
make drastic laws against everything
and everybody.
Some voters have been heard to
say that the slump in the price of
corn had been largely charged again
st prohibition, and thus some farm
ers voted against prohibition.
A suspicious person says that the
votes cast in the river counties and
cities do not look right. There is a
suspicion that some of these voters
belong in the state of Illinois.
Governor Harding is coming in
for his share of the blame. He did
not support the amendment. and SO
far as 1t is known, said nothing on
the subject.
OOficers of the law say that PRO-
hibition was never SO successful In
Iowa as at the present time. They
declare that prohibition prohibits
Men were afraid to bring half pint
bottles into the state in their OWE
personal baggage.
Not a few voters pat prohibition
down as species of Puritanism, which
they thought they could not encour
age,-not on account of prohibition
but upon imaginary things that may
happen.

probably $4,000 dry voters voted

PASTOR GIVEN A
MOST HEARTY WELCOME

The members and friends of the
Methodist Episcopal church met in
the parlors of the church Tuesday
evening to extend to their new pas
tor and his FAM a most cordial
welcome. Something over $50 were
present.
The Ladies' Aid Society had charge
of the evening and made preparations
for entertaining all who came. At
ter an hour or more of visiting and
social conversation, II. j. Hoogenak-
ker called them to order and intro
duced Mr.. John Renftle who gave a
delightful and pleasing address of
welcome. The address was full
of feeling and truly expressed the in
nermost thoughts of those present.
Rev. Proctor, in his characteristic
way made happy reply and assured
the people of Audubon that he ap-
preciated the cordial welcome ex-
tended to him and his family and
hoped that all would cooperate with
them in making the ensuing year one
of profit to all.

packed contained 80 Hospital Shirts.
81 Pajama Suits, "a Bed Socks and
"a Hospital Robes, which we're made
by the ladies thruout the county and
in the town of Audubon.

every woman to give some of her
time I'm making garments that will
be genuine comfort to the boys at

IOWA DRY MANAGER
SAYS IT LOOKS blue
Incomplete Returns of Election In
dictate Wet Majority of at Least
2,5Oo Votes

With practically complete returns
from all counties in the state it ap-
peared last night that IOWA has de-
feated the dry amendment to the con-
stitution by vote that will be not
far from $500. y
Errors were found in the earlier
returns from fully half the counties,
ranging from, a dozen to more than
1000. The dry majority of nearly
1000 reported Wednesday morning
was more than swollen up in an err
ror of 100 votes in favor of the
vets, reported from Clinton county.
Official canvasses are to be made
by most of the county auditors today
The books then will be sealed in en-
yelopes and mailed TO Des Moines
where the secretary of state will con-
solidate the whole in the states
official canvass two weeks hence.
1T looks mighty blue this morn
ing-just like the day." was the COM
ment Of ]. B. Weede. dry campaign
manager. I'VE have discovered a
few little gains, and some losses.
The result is too close to guess the
final outcome"
Defeat Of the dry amendment does
not return Iowa to the wet column
among the states. Iowa will continue
to operate under statutory prohibit
ton now in force until Legislature
sees fit to repeal this law. In recent
years the wet representation in leg
islatures has been small
1t has been fairly we'll established
that the vets will not seek the re-
turn of the saloon as it was before
the state went dry. They probably
will go before the legislature that
meets next winter and ask for per-
mission to sell beer and wines only
