have organized club for the boys
from Iowa or any that ever lived in
Iowa. So we will have something
to do anyway. They are going to
have meeting every two weeks and
perhaps dance once month. They
are doing this so the boys will have
somewhere to go to so they wont be
so lonesome. l think it will be fine
to go once in awhile instead of wand
ering around just to see what you
can see. That gets pretty monoten-

boys don't have to go yet. l suppose
the kids are growing like bad weeds.

Speeds Up the
Hogs Growth
Anti-Choleric Hog Remedy Proving
Worth to Iowa Hog Raisers as
Means of Producing Bigger
and Heavier Hogs
PREVENTS HOG CHOLERA, TOO

Hog raisers all through Iowa
are beginning to realize the true
worth of Anti-Cholera Hog Remedy
as a means for raising bigger,
healthier, and heavier hogs" says
Mr.. F. b. Gravely, who is engaged
in directing the distribution of the
remedy throughout Iowa.
at is proving to those who use
it that it not only speeds up the hogs
growth, but also aids their digestion
purifies the hogs blood, relieves con-
stipation, drives out intestinal
worms, increases appetite, and &C
ually prevents hog cholera"
IF your hogs are stunted, won't
eat, hair is turned the wrong way,
or show other signs of cholera, just
mix Anti-Choleric Hog Remedy with
their food. In a few days you'll see
the results in well, happy, and
healthy hogs"
Anti-Choleric Hog Remedy is not
a food. 1t is a medicine produced
after years of study and research
work to keep the hog well and
healthy. That it does the work is
proven by the fact that it has been
a staple remedy WITH the DTeeueTS
in the famous Virginia ham section
and is now being adopted by Iowa
hog raisers.
Just get a dollar package, con-
tanning one hundred doses and try
it on three or five Of your hogs.
You'll never want to be without it
in the future. Anti-Choleric is sold

ANNUAL MEETING OF RED CROSS


The Annual meeting of the Audi
bon County Chapter Red Cross was
held last Friday night in the work
room at the city library. A fair
sized crowd was in attendance and
much interest was manifested in the
work AS the financial year does
not end until October 31st. no COM
plete reports were given at the time.
A short summary Of the anOunt of
receipts and disbursements were fur
nished and statements made showing
the amount of work accomplished.
Mr.. E. F. Johnson told of the work
and it's progress and the amount of
garments made up and the material
on hand and it was gratifying to
know the amount of work that Is
being done. Mrs. Van Gorder made
brief report relating to the pro-
gress of the knitting and the distribu-
ton which had been made. The
nominating committee consisting OF
Arthur Farquhar. chairman. Geo.
Viewer and j. II. Ross, made a report
of the committee showing the nomi-
nees as follows: Chairman, s. c..
Kerberg, Vice-chai-man. Harriet

were reelected, and to fill the vacan-
cy caused by the removal of Rev.

mously adopted. The meeting was
very harmonious and all were graft
fled by the present progress of the
work Of the Chapter. The meeting

AUTO ACCIDENT NEAR
THE METHODIST CHURCH

An automobile accident which
might have resulted very seriously
was practically averted Sunday morn
ing by the good head work of the
drivers of both cars. Had it not
been for the quick presence of mind
on the part of both men, both cars
would have been demolished and
perhaps the occupants killed.
Thomas Sweeney was making a
hurry-up call with the sheriff and
deputy to the western part of the
county and was driving rapidly west
along End Avenue Chris. Jensen
was driving south along Tracy
street at a rapid rate and as the
two cars neared the intersection of
the street and the avenue, it
seemed to both drivers that they
would surely come together. Jen-
sen turned quickly to the right and
Sweeney to the left. In turning to
the right, Jensen turned too far and
hit the curb, breaking the left front
wheel off and bending the right
front wheel under the car. When
the car came to stand still, it was
standing on the parking between
the curbing and walk.
Sweeney in turning to the left was
forced to drive up on the parking
but in doing so he hit the curb
square and no damage was done to
his car in ANYWAY. But the speed
with which they were travelling car
ried them half way down the block
before the car stopped.
Perhaps the speed with which the
sheriff was travelling was justifiable
in performance of the duties of his
office, but it does not seem that it
was necessary for the other car to be
travelling at the same rate of speed in
the performance Of the duties of
common life. But then this is a fast
old world and the rate that some
people travel thru it, it seems that
they are in hurry to complete their
earthly journey of life and reach
that Happy Speeding Ground; and
some one will sure reach that happy
land if they continue to speed along
End Avenue and the other paved
streets the way that some have done
the last few weeks. To hear some
of the cars run along the highways
of the city and blowing their below
ing horns, it would make one believe
that they were hurrying to the res
The fact of the case is that some will
be in distress craning their necks
and contortioning their bodies trying
to discover the car as it meanders
at the turtle pace that would beat
jack rabbit in a race if the city
officials do nothing to curb that
reckless speed, or make them go
faster to keep out of the way of the
darned Fords. But every man for
himself and the devil will soon get
them all If they keep it up. And
then may they speed in peace.
There is such law known as the
speed limit in Audubon, but it seems
to have been buried and forgotten
long ago, however il these accidents
keep up, maybe the officials will
wake up and see that these laws are
enforced

BAD FREEZE CLOSES THE
CANNING FACTORY

The cold weather of last week
froze the pumpkins that were in the
field unharvested and as a result the
factory is closed for this year.
Thirty-five acres of pumpkins which
w. H. Smith had bought at Rodney
to have shipped here were completely
destroyed. He returned Monday
morning from that place where he
had gone to look over the crop af-
ter the freeze. He ordered that they
be left in the field as they could
not be used in canning. This causes
big lose to the factory as they are
forced to close a month earlier than
they had expected. Their out put
is diminished by more than three
fourths of the expected pack for the
fall. The men are busy at the fac
tory labelling and boxing prepare
tory to shipping and the finished pro-
ducts will soon be on the market.
