WHERE Is VILLAS GRAVE?
(By Arthur Levin. Audubon. Iowa. J

o where is Villas grave
Mr.. President and cabinet.
Congress and senate too.
Come listen while l tell you
What the people want to know.
Your militia was a failure
Else their leader was knave
For he never even found the spot
Known as Villas grave.
Won't you tell us Mr.. President.
So that we may go and see,
And stop this bitter wrangling
Between my friends and me?
One man says there is no such place
But know that he is knave
For we sent 100000 men
To dig Senior Villas grave.
| first went to Columbus
And hunted high and low,
They said for me to cross the line
And hunt in Mexico.
SO | travelled through Chihuahua.
Was shot by American knaye
Just because | asked him
To show me Villas grave.
So discouraged quite at last
| came down to Ell PasO.
There they said I'd have to cross
Back into Mexico.
But I'll not go back to that heathen-
land
To be shot by another knave
Simply because I'm anxious to find
Francisco Villas grave.

SISTERS GAIN RECOGNITION

John and Howard Shoesmith, two
of our progressive farmers, received
word recently that their twin Sis
tiers Gladys and Helen Shoesmith,
who are popular sorority girls at
the state university, had gained much
favor with the student body. Their
friends will be interested in the fol-
lowing news item which was sent in
from Iowa City last week:
GLADYS Shoesmith, of Guthrie
Center is one of the twelve Junior
girls of the University of Iowa to be
oraray Senior advisory board. An
election to this board is one of the
highest honors that can come to the
girl student for it is a recognition of
her good judgment and popularity
among her classmates.
Members of Staff and Circle are
elected by a vote OF all the girls in
the Junior class. In an informal
ballot the girls vote on all the girls
of the class. These votes are count
ed and the twenty girls with the
highest vote if their scholarship is
average or above. become candidates
for election at the formal election
two days later. at which the list is
diminished to twelve.
1.-The work of this board consists
chiefly in cooperating with the dean
of women on matters pertaining to
women of the University. At the be-
ginning of the school year they will
give much of their time to the advis-
ing of Freshman girls in the selec-
ton of their courses and so on. The
twelve girls meet at luncheon every
two weeks to discuss various activ-
tiles and to make plans. They may
also be called together by the pres
ident of the board or the dean of
women at any time when a meeting
is desired.
The girls are also nieces of Mrs.
G.. w. Hoover, of this city.

JUDGE FOR YOURSELF
Which is Better-Try an Experiment
or Profit by an Audubon
Citizens Experience

Something new is an experiment.
Must be proved to be as repre-
scented.
The statement of a manufacturer
is not convincing proof of merit
But the endorsement of friends is.
Now supposing you had a back.
A lame, weak or aching one,
Would you experiment on it?
You will read of many so-called
cures.
Endorsed by strangers from far
away places.
1t is different when the endorse
ment comes from home.
Easy to prove local testimony.

SUFFRAGISTS COOP
ERATE WITH ANIES

Suffragists of Iowa are demonstrat-
ing that woman's interest in the
Home and the Kitchen is still her
first concern and always will be. At
the free demonstrations of Thrift and
Economy in the Household, which
are being held in many places, there
is always a large attendance of house
wives who are eager to gain a wider
and more scientific knowledge of
cooking.
The State Association is co-operat-
ing with the Ames Extension Depart
ment and Miss Nell Barnet, of Ames,
who has been demonstrating at Du-
buque the most up-to-date processes
of canning and methods of economical
cooking, has created great enthusi-
asm in her audiences and an appre-
citation of the Importance of food as
war 'munition."
Owing to the threatened shortage
of wheat. Miss Barnet urges house
wives to substitute other cereals as
far as possible in the preparation of
the daily meals-such as rice, corn
meal and hominy-and to bear in
mind that in SO doing they will not
only be meeting the needs of their
own households, but serving the
Country
Don't Fatten Your Garbage Pile
at the Expense of Your Bank Ac-
count" is the slogan that comes
from the Department of Agriculture
and is being adopted by the suffra-
gists.
But not only their personal bank
account is the concern of the suffra-
gists. They are also occupied with
sending material aid to our allies in
the work that they are doing for the
Red Cross and in contributions they
are making to the Commission of
Relief for Belgian Children and to
the Hospital for the Wounded that
is conducted by the Russian Suffra-
gists

SUNDAY CLOSING
LAW NOT ENFORCED
Many Cities in State Pay No Atten-
ton to Law, While in Other
Towns the Law Was Strictly
Lived Up To

Most of Iowa got its first touch of
enforcement of the so-called blue
laws last Sunday. and the statute was
put into active operation with var
ious degrees of efficiency, generally
depending on the attitude of the local
officials.
The Mississippi river counties for
the most part paid little attention to
Attorney General l1avner's edict. At
Keokuk, Burlington, Clinton and
Davenport there was no effort to en-
force the law. county attorneys either
announcing that next week would
mark the dropping of the lid or de-
claring that they had received no in
structions. In Iowa City the law
was generally disregarded. Dubuque
put the lid on.
Enforcement was nominal in a
large number of other cities At Sioux
City more than $50 technical ar
rests were made, but business pro-
ceeded about as usual. At Mason
City authorities announced that the
would make arrests when complaints
were made, but took no initiative in
starting things, according to reports
Saturday night.
AZ OtluIuW d tulTty-HNe HOuilHdi ar
rests were made.
The counties in which no large cit
les are located observed the law
strictly so far as reports have been
received
There was no disorder anywhere
and citizens as rule took the new
status good naturally.
In Des Moines two down town drug
stores opened up for business and did
a rushing trade in the sale of cigars.
ice cream sodas and refreshments.
Cigar stores stayed closed down
town. Jewish merchants arrested
last Sunday were again open. while
motion picture shows operated with
out interference.
In Iowa City. although the county
attorney announced that the law
would be enforced, it was quite gen.
orally disregarded.

FINDS son AFTER SEARCH

j. b. Northup, foreman of the
sewer gang, has had an anxious
week. Last Sunday evening his son
George, a fifteen year old boy who
has been working with his father s
gang here. disappeared and it was
not until yesterday that he was def
initely located. The lad left here
Sunday morning and went to Hern-
don, thence to Audubon, which is
the family home. His uncles there
found him and notified the father.
The boy said he was coming back
to Panora next day but instead he
went to Omaha where he enlisted
for army service. Being under age
the officers sent word to his father
here to get his consent to the en-
listment. Mr.. Northup went to Om-
aha last night to get the boy.-Pa-
