AN INTERESTING VISITOR

j. H. Kate, who was a visitor this
week, took time Tuesday to make
this Office a pleasant call. Mr.. Kate
was one of the progressive business
men of Audubon until fifteen years
ago when he went to Des Moines.
He was interested in starting the
Audubon Republican and he said his
interest in the paper was as keen
today as it was when he helped start
it.
Mr.. Kate is president of company
capitalized at 100000 at Des Moines
that manufactures incubators. The
business of this company is purely
a mail order business. 1t has grown
from small institution, to one of
the most important concerns in Des
Moines. All this was brought about
by the careful planning and untiring
efforts of Mr.. Kate. He was always
firm believer in advertising and to
prove his claims he said that this
year he was spending $4,000 in five
months time. His advertising this
week alone amounts to about $14 900
Mr.. Kate has May old friends in
Audubon who are always glad to
see him, and the few days he was
here were of special delight to him.
He hopes to be back sometime during
the summer months for a more ex-
tended visit.

S1,O5O,OOO IN AUTO FUND

The state treasury on April l will
have about $1,150,000 in the auto
mobile fund for distribution among
the ninetynine counties.
THE fund now contains $1,05O.-
600. More than 100000 will be
paid in to the department during
the next four days, as hundreds of
auto owners will pay the fees at the
last minute in order to escape the
penalty of 10 per cent which applies
after April L.
The automobile department is not
sending notices to auto owners that
auto fees will be delinquent after
the close of the month. All owners
are expected to know the law officials
say.
The fund for distribution this
spring is not as large as was expected
The persons who purchase new cars
have been paying fees promptly, but
owners of old cars have been slow to
register. There has been no change
in number plate of 1916 and 1917 to
induce the car owner to register
promptly.
On April /, 1916 the state distrib-
uted $1,157.OO0. This amount re-
manned in the fund after 10 per
cent had been deducted as provided
in the law. There are 1.646 town
ships in the state. The distribution
last spring was at the rate of $703
per township. This spring it will be
at the rate of between $3.50 and $500
per township.

GERMAN PRESS RACES
About American Discrimination Between
Hohenzollerns and People.

Amsterdam, Sept. l0.-There was a
fresh outburst of rage against the United
States in Saturdays German newspapers
in connection with Secretary of State
Lansing's reported denial OF" the state
ment that America would not insist upon
the elimination of the Hohenzollerns be-
fore entering into peace negotiations. The
Rheinische Westfalische Zeitung carries
headline that crosses an entire page,
in large type, reading; America de
mands the deposition of the Hohenzol-
lerns," which it follows with
furious denunciation of America. in
which the alleged demand is alluded to
as ''the climax of the arrogant insistence
of the American government, which," it
adds, Eve hope viii be met by an en-
phstic hands off from the Reichstag"
The Cologne Gazette says:
President Wilson's impertinence is be-
ginning TO get on our nerves. Has he no
adviser to tell him that his sort of inter
ference is bound to goad a proud people
to fury"
The Frankfurter Zeitung says:
If America seriously wants peace she
make it conditional upon the
form of the German government, to re-
organize which is the most important
task of the future for the German peo-
pie and is only hampered by such extra
neous interference"

TO CRUSH DISL0YALTY.
Appeal Sent Out BY Theodore Roosevelt
and Others.

New York, Sept. l0.-A call to all citi-
zens irrespective of race or creed, to join
in a movement to crush disloyalty with
in the United States and to labor for the
assimilation of aliens on an exclusive
American standard, was issued here last
night by committee of native and for
eign born Americans headed by Theo-
dore Roosevelt. The appeal is entitled
THE Children of the Crucible" and its
signers declare that ''the true test of
loyal Americanism to-day is effective
service against Germany"
"Of us who sign" the statement con-
cludes. "some are Protestants. some are
Catholics, some are Jews. Most of us
were born in this country of parents born
in various countries of the old world
in Germany, France, England, Ireland,
Iatly, the Slavonic and the Scandinavian
lands; some of us were born abroad;
some of us are of revolutionary stock.
All of us are Americans, and nothing but
Americans"
Among the signers are Oscar S.
Strauss, Henry l.. Slobodin, Michael T.
Pupin, Anthony Fiala, John d. Grimmis,
Henry Reuterdahl, Julius Kahn, George
Won L. Meyer, John Quinn, A. w. Erick-
son, Harvey J. OHiggins, William Iced,

berg and Karl S. Behr.
Declaring that lit would be an act of
baseness and infamy, an act of unworthy
and betrayal of this country
and of mankind to accept any peace
except that peace of overwhelming vic
tory, peace based ON the complete
overthrow of the Prussianized Germany
Of the Hobenzollerns," the committee |
urges all loyal citizens to communicate
with The Vigilantes of New York to
further the campaign to destroy sedition
and disloyalty in the United States.
