COLUMBIAN CLUB
HAS LARGE MEETING
Afternoon Devoted to- Patriotic Sub
jeCts Which Brought About
Much Enthusiasm.

The regular monthly meeting of
the Columbian Club was held Tues
day afternoon at the home of Mrs
DR.. A. l.. Brooks. The occasion was
of exceptional interest, as it was the
first large gathering of the women
since state of war has been declared
between the United States~and Ger
many.
Mrs. Brooks had her home beauti-
fully decorated with flags. After the
usual routine of business, the presi-
dent, Mrs f. F. Bilharz. gave a stir
ring patriotic call to women. after
which the ladies rose to their feet
and sang The Star Spangled Banner.
Mrs. w. w. Smith was called upon
to talk on the need of enthusiasm
among women. She reminded the
women that The Star Spangled Ban
ner was the national hymn which al
ways brings American citizens to
their feet, often singing the hymn
while the orchestra plays, and that in
London only recently. when our be-
loved Presidents proclamation was
read, the entire populace sang our
great Flag Hymn, even King Ed
ward himself. amidst the widest
demonstration: and how Old Glory
is the flag that is the emblem of lib
erty for which our forefathers
fought and bled. She said: eve are
all daughters of men who bled and
died for the principles for which we
now are at war"
She said further: Europe mas
nothing that America wants. II is a
fight for principles, and our Presi-
dent is the idealist who is leading
the world TO higher forms of govern
ment. The whole co -ntry is with
him. 1t is the best of OF" great
heart; "a craftsmanship; no politics;
every citizen a soldier ready to serve
his country in any capacity where he
can serve il best
Ever since Calvary, the great
blessings of mankind haze been
bought with blood. and while We
hate war, and were slow in alligning
ourselves with war. we cannot stand
with folded arms and watch the car
mage without helping. It's not only
Americas duty, it is her high privi-
lege. Out of all this blood shed and
carnage will one day appear the white
dove OF Universal Peace.
Miss Harriet Bilharz was called
upon for resume of the war which
she did in her usual charming and
dignified manner. She recounted
the many great movements that

REV. DIR. CAMPBELL SPEAKS

The Rev j. w. Campbell ID. D..
President of Simpson College at In
dianola, Iowa, filled the pulpit at the
First Methodist Church Sunday.
morning and evening and at Melville
Center in the afternoon. The morn
ing sermon had a thrill of patriotism
in ii that touched the hearts of all
present. There We're large congre-
cations present at both services and
the sermons were among the best
that were ever delivered in the town
Many said they were even better than
the lectures given on the Lyceum
course. DR.. Campbell is brilliant
scholar with high ideals for a col
lege and is by far the strongest man
that Simpson College has ever had
for President and the prediction is
that he will make the college equal
if not superior to the best in the
state. The enrolment already this
year in the regular college courses
is the largest in the history of the
college the freshmen class having
almost two hundred in it, DR. Camp
bell will no doubt be invited by the
Methodist folks to speak in Audubon
again and will find a welcome when
he comes.

STRICKEN WITH PARALYSIS

Word reached Audubon the fore
part of the week to the effect that
Chas. Zion had been suddenly strick-
EN- with a stroke of paralysis at his
home in Humboldt a few days be-
fore. The stroke was very severe
enveloping his entire side. and rem
dering him practically speechless.
Fears were entertained at first that
he would not survive the effects of
the stroke. but word from the home
to friends in Audubon today is very
much more encouraging. If he con-
tinues to improve he may eventually
recover.
Mr.. Zion has many friends here
who will regret to hear this sad
news. He was reared in this county
and remained in Audubon until
about eight years ago. Two years
ago he spent most of the summer
in the city, being employed at the
furniture establishment of G.. w
Hoover. Two months ago he visited
here a few days and was apparently
in the best of health. All old Aud
ubon friends join in the hope that
he may be speedily returned to his
usual good health.

will be forthcoming in ample time to
secure a crop. 1t is essential that
every woman whether she lives in
the country or town. will attend this
meeting and rally for the flag and
food for the nation. Each one can
do her share and ii is team work that
brings results.
A great patriotic meeting has been
called by the town Thursday even
ing at the Court House for both men
and women and we especially urge
all women to attend this meeting also
for it will not only be an inspiration
to them but encouraging to the boys
who are willing to go at their coun-
try's call.
Owing to the need of haste in get
ting this work under way without
unnecessary delay it was decided at
the preliminary meeting that Satur-

we were all Americans. She said :;
1T is beneath the dignity of any of US
to remember where our fore fathers
were born. They were all foreign
born only one or two generations
back. But we are all Americans in
this great beloved country. Germans.
Danish. English or OF whatever ma
tionality. All are doing mighty
things 10 uphold the country's honor
now that we are in state of war. 3"
She recalled a number of incidents
which she witnessed while in
Europe at the beginning of the war
in 1914 and remembered how they
thought the war would last not more
than three months. and so with us.
we must not be surprised if the war
in which this country is participating
prOlongs from months into years. and
that we must meet our country's
need first. last and always.
Miss Ella NJ. Stearns followed with
an urgent plea that every citizen
realize the great need for food.
There is money. but danger of fam
inc unless America farms her lands.
America must feed the world for at
least three years, or we will lose in
the fight for liberty A fight against
monarchial government and selfish
ness-not against German people,
but against the government of Ger
many. She also emphasized the fact
that we were all Americans and must
cultivate love and not hatred in this
America. the home of all national
tiles OF the globe-the refuge of the
oppressed, the place OF opportunity
the biggest and best country on
earth
Miss Mary Davis made an an
nouncement of the plans for a Tag

Wilde contributed vocal numbers
that were rendered and greatly ap-
preciated.
Elegant refreshments were served.

such meetings for the sake of our

essence which wins, without it We
are lost.

season visited Audubon today The
large beautiful snow flakes fell thick
and fast. but melted practically as
fast as they fell Spring is late this
year. not having great deal of
warm weather thus far. no damage
has yet resulted. Fruit trees have
not advanced far enough so that the
frost of last night did any damage.
All sincerely hope that we may soon
have the delightful spring weather
with which Iowa is so frequently
blessed.

the Lord arranged to shed on the
world twelve hours a day. But He
might have known we couldn't be
satisfied with it.
Judging by the actions of birds and

that dusk was a suggestion and
darkness a broad hint to folks that
it was time to go to bed.
But do we do it? Not on your in

SHE'S BEGINNING.-The hens
are beginning to lay.
This sounds like an inconsequen-
tial barnyard item of news, but it
means millions. The price of eggs
must come down and the effect upon
the high cost of living will be big, for
no meal of victUals is a total failure
Of it contains skillfully cooked eggs.
And, the hens having resumed,
now is the time to knock high prices
on next winters eggs by family pre-
servation of eggs.
Municipal governments, congress
and the U. S. supreme court have
found no way in which to defeat
speculation and cOTnering. The hen
has. She lays and lays, when the
laying's good. She sits on hand
full of straw and does her part to bust
trusts. She does her part and that
we have egg trusts is not her fault,
There was a time when the Amer

she's deviling with bridge whist, sail

some club. while trusts or corpora

a cinch on making her yell for boy

are cheapest and, considering the
labor and pains she takes to get up
eggs, you can't blame her for not
laying eggs that will preserve them
selves.
