Supt. McIntire has sent in the
membership certificate to the State
High School Debating League. AS
result, the Audubon High school
will be engrossed in forensic work
of the faculty to have strong team
this year, the first year that the
school ever entered into such con-
teams. He is an experienced man
in this line of work. having taken
part in many such contests during
his college career. In tho fell of
1916, he took part in the State. Ora
torical contest and was awarded eec-
ond place. Regarding his debating
ability end training, we clip from the
Simpsonian, the college organ of
Simpson College of the date of Feb
nary %, 1916; "He has had quite
an extensive acquaintance with the
public as a debater. While in the
North Des Moines high school he
twice took part in inter-schoolastic
debates, and since entering Highland
Park, where he is now a junior in
the college of Liberal Arts, he has
three times participated in inter-col-
legiate Debates The public may
take from this clipping that Mr.. Will
liams is thoroly acquainted with de-
bates and debating work and that
his knowledge of forensics is such
that he will be able to place Audi
bon in leading position and to be
known thruout the state as having
good, first class debating teams. The
amount of experience he has had is
not the fortune of every high school
to have such an instructor at the
head of their forensic department.

A big improvement III the appear
ance of the campus has been made
during the past week or ten days
in the grading and leveling around
the school buildings. The athletic
filed has been leveled and graded
down and will be in fair condition
for the boys to work on this time
next year if placed in good condition
next spring after it has settled thru
out the winter. The looks of the
school property is greatly improved
and it's value advanced by the work
done by the men the past few days.
The faculty very much regret that
they have found it necessary to have
to reprimand the students of the
high school for their unseaming con-
duct at the foot ball game last Fri
day when some of them attempted
to promulgate trouble with the visit
ing fans between halves. The game
was of the most friendly nature and
sportsmanlike disposition between
the players and for any of the student
body to start trouble is derogatory
to the best interests of any contest,
athletic or otherwise. 1t shows i'll
breeding and training on the part of
the students. 1t is not in any way
in accord with the instructions of the
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1917-10-18

Arrangements are being made
whereby the Normal Training giils
may visit the rural schools of the
county to visit one day and teach
one day to gain a practical know
ledge of the working conditions of
the schools and the requiments of
a teacher. The Superintendent is
there when it comes to making the
best of opportunities for the advance
ment of the students and to give
them a practical education. The
Audubon schools are making rapid
strides under the management of the
present Superintendent as tnever
has done before. 81

'Bootleggers" have been doing a
Thriving business along the water front

difficulty in their efforts to prevent
liquor in unlawful quantities being
taken into the state from this city and
Baltimore.

have been made and the courts have
promised to deal out heavy penalties to
those convicted.
In the United States court in Baltimore

shipments of liquor into Virginia. He
fined one Norfolk man 500 Monday and
sentenced second man from that city
to three months in jail.

tural College and the State Food Com mittee in securing information to de- ternine whether the number of dairy cattle is decreaSi sing, and to obtain from at least twenty farms in Wind ham county the actual cost of milk production at the present time. This work has been requested, due to the fact that a number of dairymen are selling their herds, others are reduc- ing the number of cows they keep, and the surplus of milk at the pres cnt time is small in comparison to usual supply at this season of the year.
 A little serious thinking will make None realize just what it might mean on New England farms and New Eng land consumers if conditions should force the cows from the farms. A re- adjustment would take many years, to say nothing of the actual loss in volved.
 This investigation as to dairy con- ditions is being carried on in the six New England states at the same time, and it is expected that some fairly accurate information will be obtained. Farmers will be visited and figures obtained on their business for the last year, and the cost of milk produc- tion will be determined from these figures. We feel sure that farmers in general will be interested in this movement. and if asked to assist in contributing to the investigation will be glad to do so.
 The Wild Turnip Pest.
 The county agent is endeavoring to carry on some demonstrations to de- termine the value of spraying wild turnip with sulfate of iron. A num- Der of farmers arc cooperating in this work, and if weather permits, they feel sure that they will have some dcmonstra tions which will prove or disprove the value of this treatment.

TO BUY S1,ooo BOND
Council No. 17s, Union St. John, of
 Goodyear to Subscribe.

Announcement was made Tuesday that a subscription for a S1,000 Lib- erty bond had been made by Conseil No. 17S, Union St. John BaptiSte, of Goodyear. This organization of only 133 members thereby helps boom Xiii Iingly's subscription list and sets a splendid example in patriotism and liberality that might well be emulated by others while the final big drive to meet this towns apportionment of the Liberty loan Is on.
 Employes of the Goodyear Cotton company, Inc. also showed that they are with Uncle Sam, both as to men and money, and women and money, too. by taking subscriptions that to- tailed sS,000 in the 24 hours ending Tuesday noon. And, on the word of a prominent resident of Goodyear, the village will come mighty close to doubling that figure before the sun sets tonight.
 With villages of KiIlingly like Good year and others responding nobly to the call, Danfelson must look to it's laurels- A final active canvass is now going on here and every person is wanted to do his, or her, bit. Many had failed to do so up to Tuesday night. many that can very we'll afford to do something for the government, yet have done nothing at all. With aliens here subscribing from $50 to $500 apiece, in many instances, citi- zens can do no less and still claim to be good Americans.

Alkahi In Soap
 Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkai. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it.
 The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulSified cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseIess), and is better than the most expensive soap or any thing else you can use.
 One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub 1t in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy father, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandrun and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous. fluffy and easy to manage.
 You can get mulsif1ed cocoanut oil at any pharmacy. it's very creap, and few ounces will supply every member of the family for months.
