CADDOCK TO REST
IN HOT MONTHS

Earl Caddock. champion wrestler
of the world, has decided to engage
in no championship matches during
the summer. The Anita grappler
had his tonsils removed at a Sioux
City hospital last week, and will not
! be in condition to engage in contests
for several weeks.
He recently turned down an offer
$1,000 for a Fourth of July match at
Sioux City and also had a chance at
big match in Omaha on the same
date.
When he returns to active work on
the mat he promises through his
manager, to give all worthy challeng-
ers a chance at the title. However
he will not meet Joe Stecher until
the latter wrestles Wladek Zbyszko,
John Olin and Stranger" Lewis.
Melady Names Conditions
The conditions under which the
Nebraskan will be given another
chance at the title are set forth in the
following statement issued by Cad
docks manager, Gene Melady, Of
Omaha:
"A few days ago Joe Hetmanek
manager of Joe Stecher, issued
statement in Fremont to the effect
that Earl Caddock would not give
Joe Stecher a return match here on
Labor Day.
Il have made many inquiries from
fans as to our decision with reference
to giving Joe Stecher return match
and | wish to state that We surely will
give Joe Stecher another chance, but
we want to give Joe plenty of time to
train and get himself in condition, so
that when he wrestles again there
will be no chance for claiming poor
condition as an alibi.
CaddOck Forced to Wait
Il wish to explain that it took us
almost two years to get a match with
Stecher. Caddock was an unknown
quantity and he was tuic 20 60 out
and wrestle some high class men be-
fore they could give him a match.
Now it looks as though Joe Stech-
er ought to clean up a few of those
wrestlers that he failed to defeat be-
fore he is entitled to return match
with the champion of the world
Earl Caddock. There is Lewis and
Olin. He failed to throw either of
these men, and there will always be
a question in the mind of the public
as to whether he is capable of doing
so. unless he goes to finish with
both of them. Now comes Zbyszko,
who is credited with a fall over Lewis
and it looks as though he ought to
be cleaned up by Stecher before he
is entitled to have return match
with Caddock.
Wants Stecher in Condition
After winning the championship
of the world from Charlie Cutler in
July 1915. .Stecher issued q public
challenge to wrestle Frank Gotch,
and Frank GOtch accepted the chal-
lenge, but Stecher did not see Mt to
go through with a match at that
time, stating that he felt he ought to
have year at least in wrestling prep
aration before such an important
event.
Now let Joe Stecher start 10 train
and get himself in proper condition,
II he can be in any better condition
than he was on the night Of April 8.
Let him go out and win ovef Zbyszko
Lewis and DIN. Then we will give
him a return match"

EXEMPTION BOARD
IS NOW NAMED
Not Thought That Local Board Will
Have Wide Discretion in Pass.
ing ON Exemptions

The Governor has designated
Sheriff Wilson. Auditor Northup and
DR.. A. l.. Brooks as the exemption
board for Audubon county. Men who
are chosen under the selective draft
law will first make application to
them, where exemption Is claimed.
Appeal may be taken from their de-
cision to the federal board, which
shall be chosen by the president, one
in each of the two federal judicial
districts of the state.
It is not thought that the local
board will have much discretion in
the matter. Instructions are said to
be so definite that the local board
will pass upon questions Of fact mere
ly. That is, the departmental in
structions will be specific as to ply
steal requirements, religious views in
regard to war, dependents and such
things, that it will be necessary only
to pass upon these specific facts.
Where other things enter in the fed
eral board will pass upon the ap-
peal.
1t goes without saying that the Off
GERS named did not seek the appoint
ment. But they are willing to render
whatever service comes to them and
will discharge their peculiarly re-
sponsible duties with the best care
and ability they can exercise.
The draft will be conducted at
Washington and names then sent to
state authorities.

FUNERAL WAS HELD SUNDAY

Funeral services were held for the
late VIM. II. Bowman Sunday after
noon at the NJ. E. church in charge
of the pastor, Rev. Jackson Giddens.
The deceased had been a member OF
the Methodist church for many years,
having Joined while yet young man
in Ohio When he came to this
county he transferred his member
ship to Extra, but later, and at the
time of his death. was a member in
this city.
On account of not being able to
reach his daughter, Mrs. Otto Witt
hauer, in Pennsylvania, funeral ar
rangements had not been made as we
went to press last Thursday. How
ever Mrs. WHITAKER was finally To-
Gated in Ohio, who sen. wore that
she could not be here, so the time
for the funeral was set for Sunday.
During the last few months of Mr..
Bowman's lifetime he often express
ed his desire to be buried in the beau
tiful cemetery in Audubon when the
time came for him to answer his final
call. In fact he had gone so far as
to make arrangements to remove the
remains of Mrs. Bowman from the
Extra cemetery 10 AUDUBON. III COm-
pliance with these wishes, arrange
ments were made to carry them out
and interment was made in Maple
Grove cemetery.
Quite large number of old
friends from Extra were present to
pay their last respects to the depart
ed Three old soldiers from Extra and
three from Audubon acted as pal;
bearers. The G. A. r. and w. r. c,
attended the funeral in body at the
church and automobiles were fur
nished them for transportation to the
cemetery where Allison Post had
charge of the service. Many friends
sent flowers and these spoke more
than words can tell of the love and
devotion people in Audubon and Ex.
ira had for the deceased t

DETECTIVE TO TALK
IN OMAHA SOON

]. N. Wilkerson, former Burns op-
erative, who spent several years in
vestigating the Villisca ak murders,
will speak at q public mass meeting
in Omaha on the afternoon of July
z. The meeting will be held at the
Boyd theatre and 1t is scheduled to
ctart at three o'clock.
At that time Wilkerson is expected
to tell some Of the things he knows
about the murder of Joe Moore and
family and the two little Stillinger
girls. The move to hold a mass meet
ing in Omaha was made after Will
kerson had been restrained by an in
junction secured by Attorney Gen.
eral Havner to prevent him from
speaking at an advertised meeting
in Red Oak last Saturday afternoon.
Wilkerson says he was sent to Omaha
to tell there what he was prevented
from telling in Red Oak.
Wilkerson says he believes Rev.
Lynn George Kelly is innocent of the
crime he Is charged with committing
and that his own activities are for
the purpose of miscarriage of just
ice II possible.
II intend to tell the truth about
this case" Wilkerson says, land show
why certain officials in Iowa are fight
ing me to prevent my telling what
I know. shall also show the reasons
why the law was passed to curb free
speech in Iowa."
In the last statement Wilkerson
was referring to the Thompson bill,
passed by the last legislature, and
which makes it possible to enjoin
any man from holding public meet
ings or speaking in an attempt to
influence jurors, witnesses or officers
summoned for trial. 1t was under
this law that Wilkerson was enjOined
from speaking in the Beardsley the
atre in Red Oak last Saturday after
noon.
Wilkerson is expecting many cit
liens from Red Oak and Villisca to
attend this Omaha meeting.
Atty. Gen. Havner has given out
word that Wilkerson will be held in
contempt of court regardless of the
fact that he is making his talk in
Nebraska instead Of in Iowa.

PEOPLE BADLY FRIGHTENED

The rain storm last Saturday
night raised havoc with the large
crowds on the street. About eight
O'Clock heavy cloud formed in the
southeast. For a while II looked
as though it would go around to the
south. but the wind changed suddenly
and the storm broke upon US In a
few minutes. Everyone scrambled
to get to his car and get home before
the downpour of rain. But little
~ fell. and after the storm every
thing was quiet.

Dandruffy Heads
Become Hairlesa

If YOU want plenty OF thick, beautiful,
glossy, silky hair, do by all means get
rid of dandruff, for it will starve your
hair and ruin it if you don't
1t doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out The only sure
way to get rid OF dandruff is to dissolve
It, then you destroy it entirely. To do
this, get about four ounces OF ordinary
liquid arvon; apply it at night when re-
firing; use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub it in gently with the finger tips.
BY morning, most ii not all, of your
dandruff will be gone and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace OF it.
You will find, too, that all itching and
digging OF the scalp will stop, and your
hair will look and feel hundred times
better. You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive and four
ounces is all you will need, no matter
how much dandruff you have. !, This
simple remedy never fails.
