HAIL DOES MUCH DAMAGE

A representative of the Republic
an interviewed WILDER Clark living
five miles east of town, this morning.
He said that the hail storm just at
noon Tuesday did considerable dam
age in his section of the country. A
strip of territory two miles long and
mile wide suffered greatly from
the hail. He thinks that his corn
crop has been damaged to the extent
that he will have but half a crop.
The hail storm lasted fifteen minu-
ties. So many hail stones fell that
after the shower stones to the depth
of foot were on the ground. Gar
den truck and cabbage was complete
ly ruined. This makes the second
hail storm that has passed over his
place this summer.
During the severe electrical storm
last night lightning struck his new
residence, and had 1t not been for the
lightning rods. the house would GER
tainly have burned to the ground
Both of the lightning rods were melt.
ed off and the rod was melted for q
distance of no less than eighteen in

who was closing one of the bed room
windows. was stunned from the
shock.
Fortunately. after all, no serious
damage was done, and IL no Other
calamities befall him. Mr.. Clark say.
he will have to be contented with 8

THE YOUNG LADIES AUXILIARY

Tuesday evening of this week a
group of young ladies met at Mill
tary Relief Headquarters to hem
handkerchiefs and towels for the
Comfort Bags that are to bring
cheer to the hearts of the soldiers Of
the new army that is called to camp
early in Sept. Very few people
realize the effort that must be ex-
pended to fit even one soldier for
service. Comfort bags and house
alone are no small jobs and to fill
them with the necessary articles re-
as we'll as an amount Of sewing that
means many hours of work.
The young ladies realize that there
is much work to do and although
most of them are employed through
the day so their time is not their
own they are willing to spend one
evening each week doing anything
that is required Of them to further
the cause.
In order that they may work as a
unit and more be accomplished an
organization was formed Tuesday
evening with a membership of more
than twenty as a beginning. Miss
Anna Henriksen was made. chair
man, Miss Anna Wilson, Vice-Chair-
man and Miss Lorraine Graham, sec
rotary.
We understood that a committee
of four will be appointed at each
meeting to bring in recruits and
there will be various heads of work
departments as the oganizaNion is
completed.

ENTER YouR BABY NOW

1t is some little time until the
county fair but you may enter your
baby at once and be sure of time re-
served for proper examination.
You see a physician can only Judge
limited number of babies in one
day and there will only be two days
of judging. This means that when
all the time is taken it will be i'm
possible to accommodate late corners.
Every year some disappointed par
ent bewails the fact that
the entries were closed before his
arrival although the papers placed
before him each week the facts in
the case so don't put off calling up
Mrs. Jno. Graham at once and make
your entry and she will send you an
appointment card telling you the ex-
ed before the fair begins.
A mother said, the other day, that
she knew her baby was not prize
winner because it was too small.
We wish to call again attention to
the fact that it is proportion, SYM
metry and general health perfec-
ton that counts and not size.
Perhaps this will be better under
stood if we say that in the human
family there are small. medium and
large types just as there are among
horses we have ponies, driving
horses and percherons.
So bring your baby to the contest
if it is well whether it is big or little
and you will not only stand a chance
for blue ribbon but amply repaid
for your effort in the knowledge
gained.

Graham, Audubon.

LITTLE REDUCTION IN COAL
FOR AUDUBON CONSUMERS

Audubon coal dealers ara "rp in
the air" as 10 what effect the pres-
dents stat ,ment II TUESDAY, fixing
The wholesale prize of GOA. at the
mine, will have on prices in Audubon.
The concensus of opinion. however, is
that retail prices in Audubon will be
reduced but very little, If at all.
The coal men believe cut should
have been made on freight rates as
we'll as on the coal itself, and say
that the two cuts combined might
amount to a substantial reduction to
the consumers.
The hard coal situation is not af-
fected by the reduction made by the
president. as only bitiminous Goals
are included in the list given out.
Reduction S5 Cents
According to the coal men, no east
ern Goals come to Audubon, so that
this market will not be affected by
prices east of Illinois. The best Ill
inois lump coal that comes costs the
dealer $3.50 at the mine. they say.
The presidents proclamation will re-
duce the price of this coal to $2.65
per ton, a reduction of IS cents.
The retail price of this coal is S.
so per ton, in Audubon. Should the
entire IS cents reduction be passed
on to the consumer, the price of Ill
inois lump in Audubon will be $7.65.
The family that uses five tons of this
coal during the winter will make a
saving of but $4.25 in its coal bill.

aATM OF JOHN sCHLATER

John c. Schlater, a prosperous
farmer living seven miles east Of
Extra died at his home last Friday
afternoon from a stroke of apoplexy.
Early in the forenoon he had gone
about the barn yard to do some
chores. Sometime later he was
found in the road in half conscious
condition. He was removed to his
home and physician summoned
who pronounced his condition hope
less. He fingered until late in the
afternoon when he passed away.
Mr.. Schlater was born in Germany
Aug. 90, 1850 and died Aug. IT,,
1917. He came to this country
when a young man and 35 years ago
located on his present farm. He
has remained in that vicinity ever
since. He leaves wife. four sons
and one daughter, all of whom are
in this vicinity but Charles, who
lives in Colorado, but who was home
for the funeral which was held at
the Christian church in Extra Mon
day afternoon. Rev. e. B. Cousins
of this city had charge of the serv-
ice.
Mr.. Schlater was one of the truest
Americans and helped materially to
upbuild the community in which he
lived. BY his honest, earnest eff
forts he accumulated considerable
wealth, but was always liberal in his
support of the things that were for
the good of humanity and the well
fare of all. He will be greatly miss
ed in the neighborhood, where he
lived so long.
He was a member of the Masonic
fraternity and that order attended
the funeral in a body, many from
this city being in attendance.

ARE YOU DOING YOUR BIT?

Military Relief Headquarters is
busy place each day and dozens of
patriotic women are showing one side
their own cares and finding their
pleasure in doing part of the great
work for suffering soldiers that is
now universal.
Excuses are becoming more rare
than at the beginning of this work
in Audubon and yet there is an &C.
casional woman who has not awaken
ed to the fact that when war calls wo-
men as we'll as men must do their
bit even If it involves sacrifice.
There are mothers of families at
headquarters two and three half
days a week and more report a will
ingness on the part of older children
to take added responsibility at home
as their part in the worlds work,
others who tell of kindly neighbors
wiling sevice to enable them to do
their part. Two women are ex-
changing help as baby tenders SO
that each can fulfill their pledge of
half day work each week in making
hospital garments while the old peo-
pie and invalids are begging for
knitting to do at home so they too
may have a hand in lessning the suf-
ferings caused by war.
Then there are the faithful heads
Of committees who are always on the
job. not only from nine till six but
many more hours for their tele-
phones jigle necessarily. Most of
these women thought they had more
than they could do before assuming
their new duties but they have ad-
ded the additional burden without q
grumble and go on.
There is still room for more. help.
II you can possibly pledge a half day
each week, do so and when you find
you cannot be on hand. send a substi-
tute. If you have a couple ofhours
to spare when you are down town
drop in and work giving this for ex-
ira measure.
Farm women are especially invited
to spend an hour at headquarters
when in town. A number Of busy
farm mothers have voluntarily regis
tered for every Saturday afternoon.
One said, Il hardly ever came to
town before. but while this war lasts
l will be here each Saturday after
noon and do my share" That is
| the spirit that wins and you know
we have made up our minds to do
that.

AN ENTERPRISING FIRM

The finn of John & Gore is among
the enterprising establishments Of
the city. They have decided to give
some woman in this county free of
all charge a sewing machine of the
latest make. 1t is called the Free
and is classed as among the best
sewing machines on the market.
They have decided to give this ma
chine away in order to introduce it
to the people of Audubon county.
All you have to do is to go to the
store and ask for a card, or coupon,
on which are four questions to be
answered and the signing of your
name. This coupon is numbered
and one part is given to the party
signing the name and the other part
is retained by Johnson & Gore
which bears the same number.
At three O'Clock Saturday Sept.
1 this machine will be given away
and the numbered coupons taken out
of receptical one by one. A
stipulated number of cards to be
drawn will be decided upon and the
one holding the corresponding num-
| Der to the one so drawn will get the
machine free of charge. You don't
even have to buy anything in order
to fill out the cards. The only re-
quest johnson & Gore makes is that
the person holding the numbered
card be at the drawing in person.
If a number is drawn and the per-
son is not there or someone to act
for him, another number will be
drawn and continued until the num-
Der is drawn that corresponds to i,
in the crowd.
1t will not take long to dispose
of the machine and all those who
have signed the coupons are urged
to be there in person. Here is al
opportunity of getting something
worth while gratis, just as an adver
tisement.
If you do not understand the pro
position drop into the furniture store
and ask them about it anytime be
tween now and the afteroon of Sept
ember first. Either one of the gen
tlemen will be glad to answer thu
questions and show you what to do
Keep in mind that the affair is a
free as the air you breathe.

NO THOUGHTS OF A
SECOND ARMY CALL
And Several Changes Are Eek.
pected in the Rules Governing
EXEMPTIONS

Washington. d. c., August ga
full statistical report on the opera
tions of the draft law will be pre-
pared by the provost marshall gen.
erals office as soon as the mobiliza-
ton Of the first increment of $751;
600 men of the nations army has
been completed early in October.
Pending the preparation of the re-
port and careful analysis of the con-
aitions it discloses, no steps toward
calling a second increment to the
colors will be taken. General Crow
der said today that the call for the
second increment never had been
considered at any conference at
which he was present and that he
had no indication that it had been
taken up in any way by President
Wilson or Secretary Baker.
First Fills Stations
The first increment will fill all the
training areas sixteen national
guard camps and sixteen national
cantoments-to capacity and there
will be surplus of men beside these
assigned to the regular army. The
regulars are now 1900 above full
authorized war strength by volun-
anu the ANdllOudl
Guard is in a similar situation.
Training facilities already taxed
to make ready for the men now a.
valuable and it is regarded as unlike
ly that organization of an additional
100000 men of the national army
can be begun until the early spring
of 1918. Inequalities of an unavoid-
able nature will be shown in the stat
istical report. There probably will
be some amended regulations based
on actual experience with the first
in the law may be thought desirable
/ the law may be thought desirable
by congress.
New Rules
1t is possible that some provision
will be made whereby all the sons Of
family will not be taken. A new
definition of the status of married
may be one of the things acted upon.
President Wilson's recent letter to
Senator Weeks is taken by many to
indicate a feeling that 4 more liberal
policy may be found desirable. At
present. under regulations, a condi-
tion of marriage in itself is not con-
sidered. N...
Another matter to be worked out
is the status of an alien. Still a.
Hother is the status of men who have
passed beyond draft age since being
drafted and that of those who have
become of draft age in the meantime.
