RETURN FROM FISHING TRIP

Rev. Jackson Giddens, and family
who Joined party of ministers from
other parts of the state in a ten days
DATING at Lake Okoboji, returned
home last Thursday evening. He
says that fishing was never better
than at this time. In his trailer
which he carried with him on the
trip he had generous supply of fish
and through his kindness the Repub-
lican editor and his wife were able
to eat fish for a day or two. He
caught all the law allowed each day
and We noticed that he had several
hundred live fish on ice when he re-
turned.
Rev. Giddens takes his family for
an outing each year, and we doubt
If there is anyone who enjoys it
any better than he does. He and
his family look forward each year to
the time for fishing, and they are
never disappointed. He gave us
such a splendid letter for publication
last week that 1t would be useless
for us to say that the entire party
had the time of their lives. ]. j.
Ruhs and family were also members
of the party, but owing to his illness
was unable to fully enjoy the outing.

EIGHT APPLICATIONS SENT
FROM AUDUBON COUNTY

To provide officers for the drafted
forces of the National Army, the War
Department has adopted the policy
of commissioning all new officers of
the line Infantry. Cavalry, Field and
Coast Artillery purely on the basis
of demonstrated ability after three
months observation and training in
the Officers Training Camps. Thus,
the appointment of officers of the new
armies will be made entirely on merit
and free from all personal or other
influences.
This is as it should be. Audubon
county is about to send some IS to
army, and it is pleasing to all of us
over them who have been chosen for
their ability.
w. G. Wilson informs us that he
has sent eight applications from men
of this county, to the examining Off
Ger for admittance to the Officers
Training Camp to be held at Fort
Riley, Kansas; and that every man
whose application went in was moral
ly and physically perfect.
1t is such men as these that the
War Department wants for officers.
Men who have always led clean lives
themselves, will have the proper in
fluence over our soldier boys who will
be led by them.
In this way the government is full
filling its pledge to the people, that
the officers. without exception, be Sc
lected on basis of merit only.
1t will be pleasing to all relatives
and friends of our Audubon county
boys to know that the War Depart
ment has used such good judgment in
the selection of it's new officers.

A DELIGHTFUL AUTO TRIP

Mr.. and Mrs. j. A. Johnson, who
reside near Larland, returned the
latter part of last week from an 500
mile automobile trip through Illinois
and southeastern Iowa. July End
Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, accompanied
by his sister, Miss Esther Johnson, of
Chicago, who had been here on a
visit, departed for Moline, ILL.,, to
spend the 4th with relatives. After
visit there and other points in
Illinois they started for home making
stops at Muscatine and Wilton juno
ton.
Mr.. Johnson, who is one of our
progressive farmers, took special
pains to compare crops in that sec
ton of the country to our own crops
and he concludes that the crops
where he visited are a little farther
advanced than that in Audubon coun-
ty. Yet he believes that the season
further south has considerable to
do with the crops and that in the
end our yields will be as great on the
average as theirs.
Mr.. and Mrs. Johnson enjoy auto
riding and the entire trip was made
with very little tire trouble and they
reached home greatly pleased with
the trip.

CLUBS JOIN IN PICNIC

A joint picnic of the Baby Clubs
was held last Saturday afternoon at
the Harry Searles farm, southwest of
town. The attendance was very good
and included a number of interested
visitors.
The subject for the afternoon was
super Sensitiveness of Children, by
the able leader. Mrs. Miles Gard
ner. At this meeting the Baby We'll
fare Club voted to pay annual dues
to the County Child Welfare Associa-
ton. An especially interesting part
of the afternoons program was the
measuring of ten or twelve of the ba-
bies to see how they came up to re-
quirements. The babies were an un-
usually attractive bunch of young
sters and averaged up in fine shape.
This of course was encouraging to
the mothers of the children. Later
the picnic supper was enjoyed, served
on the lawn. The members of the
different clubs all felt that the after
noon had been well spent.

DO AUDUBON PEOPLE
LIKE TO SING?

We believe they do and that it is
only question of getting them to-
gether and making them know that
they are needed to make Community
singing a great success.
There is nothing in the world that
has so great an influence on the
| hearts of the people as music. The
soldier, singing as he marches forgets
fatigue and the suffering child is
lulled to sleep by the music of his
mothers voice.
But what is Community Music and
Community Singing? 1t is the getting
together of the people in the fraternal
fellowship OF sing. Everybody
sings because the music chosen is the
kind that everybody knows and every
body loves. Grandfathers and grand
mothers sing it because it is the music
of their youthful days, fathers and
mothers sing it because the singing
school of their teens taught this sort
of music forty years ago and the
young people want to learn these
songs because they are not only beau
tiful, but popular Just now.
But the big thing in Community
Music is the oppol iunity presented
for stirring up the latent patriotism
in the soul of the people by the sing
ing of patriotic songs. II it did moth
ing but teach the entire community
the Battle Hymn of the Republic"
it would be worth while.
Audubon musicians are undertake
ing Community Music in Audubon

made the same generous gift of her

A few Community Sings" have been
held at the High School Auditorium
and quite number of people have
availed themselves of the opportunity
to help along a good thing and at
the same time get little practice in
singing.
But this music to be inspirational
must have the active support of many
people. 1t must not be confined to
the people of the town but the neigh
bors who live outside the city limits
are part of that larger community
life that makes Audubon a live city
and should consider themselves partly
responsible for the success of all that
goes together to make it good place
to visit.

the Crescent theatre last Monday af-

1880 was not so well attended, but

greater than The Birth of a Nation.

afternoon a heavy rain fell which
was accompanied by much hail. He

considerably modified. The north part
of the county has been suffering with
hail storms for several years past

all of our destructive storms for this
year. and that the crops remaining
will be permitted to produce the usual
