DANIEL WILLARD
HAS SUCCESS RULE

Daniel Willard, the great railroad
man, has told b. C. Forbes some of
the things that have helped him be-
come successful. The article is in
the November American Magazine,
and Mr.. Willard says:
If you really want to get along
rather than to see how easy time
you can have, you must apply your
self wholeheartedly-bo during
your working hours and your leisure
hours-to your business. By having
your mind on your work you are apt
TO learn how to do it accurately, and
there is nothing more important than
accuracy. Then, don't stop after do
ing what you are told; do that and
do that accurately-then find some
thing additional worth doing. When
the time comes to retrench, when
men have to be laid off, If you have
made yourself really useful and val
liable you will probably not be drop
ped; you are more likely to be given
more important work to do, because
your employer will know you will do
it right, that they can trust you and
depend upon you.
I'm my own case l had no special
advantages l had no superior edu-
cation, no unusual mental gifts, no
physical advantages. no influential
friends, no money. l worked my
way out of the rut by determination
20 keep right on doing the best l
knew how to fill my job, plus, and
losing no opportunity to increase my
fitness for my job. l never had a
chance Of il so I failed to recognize
IN a n
thing, anything spectacular, such as
being the hero in any great railroad
accident or situation, or sensa-
tionally saving some celebrity's life.

FORMER RESIDENT BURIED

The remains of Mr.. Lewis Anciaux
who died suddenly Wednesday of last
week at Peetz, Colo, arrived in Au-
dubon last Saturday and was remov-
ed to the home of his son, Roy An
ciaux in Greeley township. The re-
mains were accompanied here by
his wife. Mr.. Anciaux was assisting
a neighbor, repairing windmill and
not being of robust health, he fell
in a faint and life expired before
anything could be done for him.
Mr.. Anciaux was born at Paris,
France in October, 1S4S and died
at his home in Peetz, Colo, October
1887, being in his 69th year when
called beyond. Mr.. Anciaux arrived
in America some 60 years ago and
grew to manhood at Johnson county.
Iowa. He was united in marriage
to Miss Marie Hoover in 1877 and
about 40 years ago they came to Au-
dubon county, residing in Greeley
township until about five years ago,
when they departed for Colo, where
they have since lived. Besides his
wife he is survived by seven children
grandchildren, two sisters and two
brothers and numerous other rela-
tives and host of friends who have
the sympathy of the entire commun-
ity, where the deceased was so well
known and highly respected. The
funeral was held Sunday afternoon
from Bowman church, with Rev.
Dove, the pastor in charge. A large
concourse of sorrowing relatives and
friends were present at the services
and followed the remains to its final
resting place.

NEW POSTAGE RATE
In EFFECT SOON
After November 2 it Will Cost Three
Cents to Send a Letter and Will
Not be Forwarded for Two.

The Audubon postoffice officials
and local employees are anticipating
more or less trouble and confusion
with reference to letter postage on
and after November End, when. un-
der the new law it will require &c
instead of to carry a letter. Nal Y
will forget and still others will yet
remain in ignorance of the new order
of things, it is contendcd and Uncle
Sans men want to advise the people
through the medium of printers ink
as much as possible before that au-
spicious date.
The man who mails letter on or
after November 2, with only a 2
cent stamp affixed. but bearing re-
turn address, will find the letter COM
ing back to him for another cent
postage. In the case jof a letter
without a return card on the envel-
ope, a card will be sent from the
postoffice to the addressee, advising
him that a letter with insufficient
postage is at the office for him and
he will be requested to send the nee
essary l cent stamp in a sealed en-
velope, in order to have the letter
forwarded to him. Thus it will cost
the addressee 4 cents to get the let
ter that only required one more cent
in the first place.
No special effort is being made
by the authorities at Washington
to supply the various offices with 3
cent stamps, as it is desired that the
2 cent and l cent stamps on hand
be used up. While it is little
more trouble to use a l cent and a
2 cent stamp on a letter, it serves
the purpose just as well. and the gov
eminent says that these stamps will
have to be used up some way. In
the course of time new cents
stamps will come along but there is
no hurry.

ladies. She has grown to splendid
young womanhood in our midst and
for year and half was one of the
efficient operators at the local ex-
change telephone office. She is en-
dowed with many womanly graces,
and coming from one of our substan-
/ tial and highly respected citizens,

BACK FROM THE WEST

Floyd Turner who has been liv-
ing on his claim near Douglas, wy.
the past year, arrived in Audubon
yesterday to spend the winter with
his parents. Floyd looks hale and
hearty and has the appearance. of a
man who owns so much out-of-doors
that he can hardly content himself
with being in such crowded quarters
as we have here in Audubon. Floyd
is one Of our rustling young fellows
who will make his mark in the world
and we may reasonably expect to
hear Of his being one of the big
ranchmen of the west within the next
few years.
II any of our young men are inter
ested in Wyoming, it will pay them
to talk with Mr.. Turner.

RABBITS SCARCE

With the price of meats up to the
top notch, the minds of the common
people turn to rabbits. However,
the hunters say that the rabbit crop
this year is nightly scarce. Hunters
who have been out often fail to
scare up a single. rabbit. They be-,
lieve that the animals will be selling
higher than pork. when the hunters
do start after them. 81

military relief, the Womans Club will
get together once each month social

friends. These social meetings will
be held in the evening and the COM

TWO FINE MEASURES.

In the passage of the COLLEGE en-
dowment exemption and the Torrens
land bills, the General Assembly of
Georgia added a little more justifca-
ton to the 1917 session. The magni-
ficent vote by which the former meas
ure passed indicates that when parli
amentary procedure is sufficiently iron
ed out to permit of consideration and
a straight-out vote under ordinarily
favorable auspices the General AS
sembly can see the differences that Of
ten lie in distinctions
The campaign against this matter
was born largely of the human enough
tendency to mistake the shadow for
the substance, to confuse its specific
ption which would effectually
raise a barrier in this state against
any possible union of Church and state,
for such unions are always between
the state and some particular denom-
nation, with a general move by the
state and the church rather than the
churches to embrace each other and
set up an unholy combine of some
sort.
This campaign was destined to fall
of its own stotic qualities as soon as
time and consideration could be
brought to bear to show what the
amendment really means to do and
may be expected to do.
1t should mean a great deal for
Georgia's educational institutions for
endowments, so necessary to the up
building of the valuable denominational
colleges, are now invited to take their
abode in this state instead of being
driven out to other commonwealth
where their dispositions is treated with
more warmth and consideration. 1

our denominations to keep their insti

essary to keep them useful becaus

The Torrens land bill was badly
needed in Georgia, or at least some
bill that would simplify and render
more direct and less expensive our
land title system. Our existing system
is archaic, unsatisfactory and even the
smallest transfer of realty calls for d
mass of legal investigation, abstract
ing and research work sufficient to set
up for good or i'll the nebular hypo-
thesis as opposed to the literal story
Of ceration The main virtue, if not
the only one of the present system is
that it provides a not inconsiderable
revenue for worthy enough lawyers
who might become somewhat in the
nature of public charges on the com
munity in the event some plan was
devised which would render a transfer
a simple matter of recording.
The torrens law should do the work
for Georgia. 1t has worked well in
other states and in some instances has
had long enough test to thoroughly
establish it. It's features as stated in
the bill are rather intricate, necessar,
lily because it supersedes so much, but
the main thing about it is that it pro-
vides for a permanent registration of
title and the authority of the deed
shall be public and preserved record to
the extent where to look it up and
verify title should be the smallest sort
o. service. To the layman the main
thing about it is it will save him mon,
ey and time and lawsuits in his realty
transactions. 1t has become practically
the standard law of the nation as state
after state is putting it or law sim
liar on the books.
In the passage of these two measures

land. But instead of bringing peace
these victories on the sea brought the
United States into the war and COM
pleted the German isolation. Militar-
ism has reused the world against it
and the coveted peace on which ii has
staked its existence still eludes its
grasp.
An explanation Of this puzzle must
soon force its way into the German
mind Militarism cannot subsist on
war maps. Conquering square miles
T territory is not conquering the opin-
ion Of the world, not nationalities al
one, that is in arms against kaiserism,
Not all of autocracy's spoils in ter
ritory, even if it could keep them
would compensate it for the position
of isolation in which its crimes have
placed it. The further it carries its
arms against small nations, the more
relentlessly it presses down Belgium,
Servia and Rumania, the more consol-
idated against it will world opinion be
come and the further will it be from
the peace of which it is so desperately
in need. The lesson which militarism
must learn is that war and conquest do
not pay.
The lesson which the German people
must learn is that their present guilty
and autocratic government cannot
bri2g them peace.-Kansas City Star

OUR ENEMIES AT HOME.

According to a Washington dispatch
members of the American mission to
Russia have impressed upon the gov
erument the necessity for discouraging
German-inspired peace proposals in
this country. They have made it clear
that every publication or legislative
discussion of peace projects, no matter
how remote from the government
agencies, quickly is seized upon by
Germany for distortion and dissemin-
alton among the Russian people.
While the American mission was in
Russia says the dispatch, 'it was
confronted with several instances of
this sort yagrant peace meetings
held in several parts of this country
were exploited by German agents as
indicating the Overwhelming demand
of the American people that their gov
eminent make peace with Germany re-
CARELESS of its obligations to Russia
and its other allies. A member of the
mission said tonight: If the people of
this country had any idea of the use
that Germany is making of the peace
propaganda conducted in this country
by disloyal citizens and mischief-mak
ers, they would put stop to it with
out Toss of time"
And on the very day that this dis
patch was sent out a gang Of these
peace propagandists was holding a
meeting in the room of the Senate
committee of military affairs demand
ing that we back out of the war and
threatening to impeach the President.
And the next day La Toilette, one of
the Kaiser's Own in the Senate, intro
duced a Enthusiastically insolent
peace resolution in that body.-Louis-
vile Courier-Journal.

MUCH LOOT, But NO PEACE.

General Won Mackensen's advance in
Rumania, where he is apparently clear
ing out Moldavia, the only remaining
strip of Rumanian territory left to
Rumanian and Russian occupation,
probably is the prelude to another an
nouncement of German victory and
another flashing of the war map in the
faces of the questioning German peo-
pie.
But how long can the military inter
ests of Germany defer explanation of
the fact that the more square miles of
territory they conquer the further they
are from conquering peace?
The military autocracy swept Ger
many into war with promises of con-
quest and with the assurance that
victorious armies would bring back a
peace to the glory and safety Of the
empire and people German armies
overran Belgium, but brought back no
peace-England came into the war in
stead. Victorious militarism blasted
its way into France almost to the
gates of Paris. 1t seized and held
rich industrial areas and cities, mines
and fields, but peace was not part of
it's loot Italy came into the war in
stead The Russians were thrown
back Poland occupied and Galicia re-
claimed-surely all these square miles
would mean peace and glory. Rumania
came into the war instead.
Desperately the autocracy struck out
again with its last and most formid
able weapon. 1t hoisted the flag OF
piracy on the seas and turned loose
/. U-boats to blackade and starve Eng
