BEASON BUYS THE
LARGE NEW GARAGE

A. E. Beason, the pioneer automo-
bile dealer of Audubon county, has
just recently purchased the large new
garage he is now occupying on South
Washington street. This garage was
built by the Hayes boys three years
ago. and last fall came into the pos
session of David Cretsinger, of Coon
Rapids. Mr.. Beason had the build
ing leased for term of years, but
the owner desired to dispose of his
holdings at this time, so the deal
was consummated Saturday.
Mr.. Beason has secured a splendid
piece of property. The building
needs considerable repairs and the
basement needs finishing up. This
he will do at once and the basement
will be arranged so that cars can be
driven in from the street. His in
creasing business made it necessary
for him to secure more room. and
with the basement. he will have suf-
ficient room to meet his present de-
mands at least. We may look for a
splendid garage when all improve
ments have been completed.

DO NOT HELP THE ENEMY

Few OF us realize the tremendous
wealth of the United States. In the
various branches of the United States
treasury here are held more than
three billions of dollars-the great
est amount of wealth ever held by
any one government in the worlds
history.
Comptroller Williams says that the
assets of the national banks of the
united States aggregate more than
sixteen billions of dollars-exceedin
by more than five billions of dollars
the combined resources of the banks
OF England, France, Italy, Spain, Nor
way, Sweden, Denmark, Japan and
Germany.
1t is almost impossible to compre-
mend the great amount of wealth in
THIS country. There is no danger of
us going broke" because of the war
with Germany.
Our success i'm this war depends
largely on this one point. If this
vast amount of wealth is kept circu-
lating, it can pay all of our war debts
and enable us to help win the war
for the worlds freedom. If il is

You can do no more patriotic SER
vice today than to keep cool, realize
that we are in no danger, and keep
right on living your life as you have
Deen living ii the last three years.
Remember, every time that you are
tempted to practice 'hysterical econ
omy that you are helping the enemy
by throtling business. Do not in
dulge in eXtravagance-thatw would be
idle; but do not attempt to Save the

expenses for necessaries. When you
DO that you help to check the circu-
lation OF money, which is the life
blood of business. and you make the
nations task doubly difficult.
Be patriotic by doing Just as you
nave done the last three years. This
only means living your normal life.
doing your usual work. enjoying
your usual pleasures. and providing
for your usual necessities.
Not a very hard thing to do, is II?

REGISTRATION OF THE
'SOLDIERS OF THE
CONINIISS ARX,'

In the Audubon high school build
ing Monday and Tuesday, June
% and 26, was held the registra-
ton of the Soldiers of the Com
missary," who will take their great
work in Uncle Sans great Army of
Service" In other words, there
was large attendance of mothers
and daughters for the Canning DEM
olstration, conducted by Miss Jessie
Findleysen, from the Agricultural
Extension Department of Ames.
This enrolment, approaching four
hundred is strong evidence of the
conviction of the women of Audi
bon and vicinity that here is an OPP
portunity for them to show their
patriotism by helping feed the world,
for that is surely what this great
Nationwide Food Conservation
| Campaign" means.
To conserve this food is just as
vital and necessary as the ammuni-
| ton for the guns on the firing line
| This is the ammunition put up by
the soldiers of the comWissary."
Our president in his proclamation
has said that the industrial forces of
the country, men and women alike,
will be great national Service
army" and he says that they are the
"saviours of free men everywhere. !"
He puts all into this army-farners,
workmen in factories, the house
wives who conserve the food supply,
and everyone who does his "bit."
Double your canning output" is
the Slogan for 1917. With the can
ming season at its height, it is the
patriotic duty of every one of us to
keep his eyes open for perishable
supplies that some one else may
overlook, and to find a way of saw
ing it. And according to do this, il
was the collective opinion of the
women attending the demonstration
that some kind of community work
must be carried on, to find out where
this surplus supply is.
The spirit of the meeting was
grand, cooperation and harmony
were the key-words. And why should
they not be? There are millions OF
little hands reckoning us. Come
over and help us''-we have heard
the cry. Every mothers heart has
heard, every fathers heart has
heard, every human heart has heard
and our answer is. Were coming
we're coming. hundreds of thousand.
strong. we're coming"
Shall We have a disinterested, un
selfish patriotic community move
ment?

TO GIVE WEEKLY
BAND CONCERTS

The Cornet Band of Audubon has
been re0rganized and during the past
few weeks this organization has been
practicing faithfully under the lead
ership of w. j. Kness There is a
demand in this city for band, and
many of the players have realized
this. 1t is a difficult matter to find
men who will devote their time to
not only practicing but to giving con-
certs. However, a sufficient number
have concluded to make this sacri-
flee and tonight the first open air
concert of the season will be given
in the park.
All of the players have the utmost
confidence in Mr.. <ness and he is to
be commended for the sacrifice he is
making. The band boys will get fin
ancial assistance from the CONNER
cial Club, and we understand that a
sum TO be raised by popular sub
scription is also to he given to them.
This will no more than purchase mu-
sic and defray other necessary ex-
penses which will be incurred from
time to time.

The DRAFT WILL BE
EARLY in JULY
Drawing to be Done in Washington.
Men to be Called Out Later in
Year, All at the Same
Time

Time
Drafting of $4,000 men for the
national army will be conducted en-
tirely in Washington, according to
the consumption regulations approved
by the president, which will be made
public this week.
In the United States there are ap-
proximately 1000 registration dis
tricts. In each there are a separate
series of registration numbers, be-
ginnig with No. /.
When the drawings begin, probably
early in July, board in Washington
will select number, through the jury
wheel or other lottery system. That
number will be telegraphed to each
registration district, and all the men
on the registration lists who have that
number will be called.
1t will be up to each man individ-
ually to ascertain whether he has
been selected. He will not be re-
quired to report until a general sum-
mons is issued for all drafted men
to come forward for examination.
At that time he will have an oppor-
tunity if he desires exemption, to
present his case to the local exemp-
ton boards.
They will have power to decide
physical exemptions or excuses bas-
ed on dependent families. If a
drafted man desires he may appeal to
a national exemption board, which
the regulations create and which is
the supreme court of exemptions.
To make sure that no eligibles es-
cape. the names and numbers of
drafted men will be made public.
Original registration lists are also
being made public. so slackers may
be detected by their neighbors when
their names fail to appear on the
list.

Fears Typhoid.

II the residents of East Chicago taste
chlorine in the city water It is because
the board of health is trying to prevent

fever
a few days ago the board requested
the water company 10 double the amount
Of chlorine with which the water is be-
ing treated.
Heretofore three pounds Of the
chlorine compound have been used to a
million gallons of water. At tho present
time FIVE pounds are being used, it be-

than that
Since the introduction Of the increas-

pany has been bcsieged with inquiries as

apparently being under tho Impression
that something had happened which had
resulted in the introduction of the en-

Notwithstanding the taste, the board
of health states that enough chlorine
should be used to insure freedom from
