THE w. AND A. EXTENSION.

The Western and Atlantic railroad
situation is the one big industrial mat
ter facing the people of Georgia just
now. 1t is the one great problem con
fronting the state and which means
more in dollars and cents than any
other one thing. Among those who
know the railroad game il has always
been contended that this property will
be doubled in its earning capacity the
very moment it pokes its nose into
Georgia port. The commission ere
ated by the legislature to handle
this w. and A. situation has been
clothed with remarkable power. If in
the wisdom of the commission it is
deemed expedient to extend the line
to the sea, it has ample authority to
SO report to the legislature Three
can be no question but what, after a
careful investigation into the subject,
that the commission will realize not
only the Importance but the necessity
of that step Reaching tide water at
one of the Georgia ports would at
once make the w. and A. one OF the
really great trunk lines of the south,
instead of mere Ink, a dependency
Of another system OF railroads operat-
ing In the territory. The line would
become a prime factor, great con
nection in the mighty tide Of ocean
going freights, bound, after the pres
ent European war is over, to grow in
leaps and bounds Tapping as it does
the great grain centers of the west,
1t would also brng to the sea an east
crn connection and 1t would then be-
come what these who conceived the
plan and built the Inc intended it to
be. There cen be no question but
what the original founders Of this
property intended it to be ultimately
extended to the sea and now that the
matter has been reduced to concrete
form; now that a commission his
ben named by the legislature, clothed
with sufficient power to make 81! nee

is sincerely to be hoped that the wori;
may be pushed intelligently, thoroush.
ly and carefully. While The matter
ought, in the nature OF things, be
left entirely in the hands of the com
mission. at the same time the subject
is so vital, we feel that we are no.
intruding when we urge the commits
sion TO look carefully to this situa-
ton before making its final report.

STILL HOPE FOR RUSSIA.

The human tragedy now being en-
acted in Russia surpasses in immedi-
ate interest even our own prepare
lions for war. The spectacle of a
great mass of people. struggling for
a firm foothold on its new path,
threatened with destruction from
within and from without, is patheti-
cally impressive. 1t is impossible to
exaggerate the difficulties in the way
of Kerensky. on whom has fallen the
hope of all friends of order. His
great personality. answering fidelity
and devoted courage may be potent
to restore reason to the terrified null
titude and overcome the effect of the
extremists propaganda. Socialism
is being put to the acid test in Rus
STA now. Its advocates are in full
control of the government. whatever
il amounts to, and are charged with
all responsibility. Every possible aid
will be given by organized democracy
that the aspirants of the Russian peo-
pie may be realized in the final estab-
lishment of an orderly government
which will embody and preserve their
ideals of liberty. No one will under
estimate the magnitude or importance
of threatened defeat will arouse even
rests on the probability that the shock
of threatened defect will arouse even
the stupidist of mujiks to a realiza-
ton of the danger and the necessity
for action. Tie tide of retreat must
be stemmed or Russian liberty disap-
pears again under the domination Of
a restored autocracy.

THE GLAD HAND.

.. When you go to Atlantic or to
Carroll you are gratified to meet
some acquaintance who recognizes
you ard welcomes yoI to his city
with glad hand. Dc you not feel
much better if when in Des Moines,
for example, you meet some one who
knows you and extends welcome to
you?
So il is residents of Audubon, with
people who come into our midst. The
residents of Audubon county appre-
ciate a welcome and glad hand from
you. They like to feel that you know
them and are glad TO greet them
when they come into our city.
Any farmer or other citizen of the
county never forgets courtesy or
kindness shown him when he is in
Audubon. Neither will the many
tourists who daily pass our streets
forget the conveniences and comforts
afforded them by little attention on
your part.
Now citizens of Audubon. this is
not such a busy time with you. and
many among us are going away for
vacation trips and TO enjoy the hos
pitality of other folk. But when go
ing and expecting others TO treat
with you, do you ever stop to think
of what you may have or have not
done for the stranger within our
gates? Have you in the past been
as hospitable as you might have
been? Have you had the glad hand
outstretched for the visitor here? Do
you welcome the shopper and bust
ness man to your midst? Think it ov-
er. Perhaps a hospitality campaign
by every individual in Audubon
would be timely The upkeep will
yield big returns on the investment.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

Longfellow gives us piece of good
advice in his Michael Angelo:
Take the Sunday with you through
the week,
And sweeten with it all the other
days"
And a greater than Longfellow said
to the world:
'If thou turn away thy foot from
the Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure
on my holy day; and call the Sab
bath a delight, the holy of the Lord,
honorable; and shall honour Him,
not doing thine own ways. nor finding
thine own pleasures, nor speaking
thine own words; then shall thou de-
light myself in the Lord; and / will
cause thee to ride upon the high
places of the earth"
You are all invited to worship God
with us, and to learn more of divine
things at the services of next Sabbath
morning.
The Bible school at 10 O'Clock. and
the service of public worship at IL.

HARVEST WILL BEGIN SOON.

Harvesting will be in full swing
throughout central Iowa by the first
of next week, according to reports re-
ceived by grain dealers and extension
men at Iowa State college. The hum
of binders can be heard in many To-
calities.
Weather conditions have been fav-
orable to the ripening of grain. Farm
ers say that the prospects for a good
yield are very promising. Practical
ly the only harvesting that is being
done in this part of the state to any
extent is in oat fields, with a very few
exceptions of barley. There is little
winter wheat, because of winter kill
ing, which resulted in the abandon
ment of such areas and replanting of
other crops.
Nearly all of the early varities of
oats are now ready to be cut, and
with their harvest the later oats will
be ripe and ready for the reaper.
Corn has been rapidly making up
for lost time. and with the good corn
weather of the last week or so, the
crop is flourishing and is only slight
ly retarded now. The farm labor sit
uation throughout central Iowa is
said to be about normal.
