DEATH OF FAMOUS WAR DOG

Nellie, the famous war dog, is
dead, Nellie was celebrated Bel
gian dog. She was brought TO this
country and was fulfilling her mis-
sion with her master. Major Oster-
rieth. of the Belgian mission.
Thousands of Americans have seen her
twinking little eyes and her stubby,
wagging tail acknowledge their at
tention and kindness.
At the battle of Ypres. Nellie trot-
ted faithfully along beside her own
err, a British officer in the rain of
shrapnel and high explosive shells.
He fell; Nellie wounded, wandered
about no-man's land until picked up
by Major Osterrieth. of the Belgian
First Regiment of Guides. to whom
she transferred her allegiance.
In the trenches for many months
Nellie lived with the Belgian regi-
ment. always ready to 'go over the
top" with her new friends. Twice
she was wounded by shrapnel. but
she was a wire-hair terrier of breed
ing and character and never thought
of deserving
Now Nellie is dead. The cause
probably was, combination of
wounds and age, but she always will
be remembered as real heroine who
was faithful to her friends to the
very last

gridirons where they have played
this year. The integrity of the
school or any of it's professors was
in no wise questioned But instead
the ideals and standards of the school
were pointed to with pride. 1t was
failure on the part of the few to
uphold and raise higher those ideals
and standards that we questioned ami
disliked to see-not only By the Re-
publican, but by every man of judg-
ment in the city and no one can show
evidence disproving the statement at
that time.
Regarding the teams of other
schools we need say bat little. They
are not so interesting to us as the
team of Audubon high school. How
ever, Harlan had no license to walk
over Audubon in any way. the game
should have ended with Harlan score
as 0. Most OF them were as devoid
of training and lacking in coaching
as a Billy-goat that chew; Horse
shoes. The Atlantic tean presente'.
better form of self training and
the game should have been to 0, in
their favor. In the Guthrie Center
game, the score should have been
to 0 favoring the locals. In all
those opponent teams, some men
were very conspicuous because of
their lack of self training. Re-
garding college teams, we suggest
that questioning ones read the ex-
changes that come to the High
school office and the doubts of mind
will be entirely displaced by the
ward pictures painted there portray
ing the cause of defeat.
AS examples we have in mind
few of the recorded quibes. brick
bats and bouquets handed out free of
charge to a few teams. At one of
basket ball meets held in the Hooper
Gymnasium in Indianola, Lohrville
was one of the strong contenders for
the championship title. A Clarinda
lad on the basketball team remarked
in the lockerroom, they are pretty
good players but no smoking team
can beat us" Suffice to say they
didn't.
At a basketball meet in Grinnell
a remark was made regarding visit
ing team to this effect that mo
sweet-toothed chimney squad could
carry away many laurels.' They
didn't get any.
One and two years ago. in one of
the exchanges, this statement was
made regarding the Massena high
school base ball team. They won
fifteen games straight and lost their
sixteenth in the twelfth inning by
score Of to /. Each man on
the team was under contract with
the others and the Superintendent
that they would abstain from the use
of all narcotics. refrain from all late
hours during the training and play
ing season and to use no obscene or
vulgar language on the diamond.
We could give numberless in
stances of these criticisms, adverse
and otherwise. However we think
we have made our position clearly
understood. In closing we will say
we offer no apologies for the pub
lished articles. We have none because
none are necessary as the opinions
of others were expressed as well as
our own.-E. Don Dixon.

A PIG FOR EVERY BOY

The secretary of the Waco, Texas,
Chamber of Commerce, Mr.. F. F.
Drake, has in.ugurated a plan
whereby every boy in Texas may pos
sess a pig. He says: Il called up
several hundred bankers and bust
ness men and asked them to loan me
money at percent, and take the
notes of the boys of this county for
same without any security other
than the note. the money furnished
to be used for the purchase of pigs,
the pigs to be furnished to the boys
to start hog raising in this county.
The first man upon whom ! called
became enthusiastic, and promised
to start twenty boys" Suffice It 10
say this experiment took like wild
fire, and Texas boys are to have the
opportunity of proving their worth
and laying the foundation of real
manhood.

OPTIONAL OPINIONS OF
OTHER FOOT BALL TEAMS

In the categorical curriculum of
pessimistic indignation and resent
ment shown and expressed by well
meaning and highly honorable loyal
boosters and supporters of clean
athletics, we have been asked why
this publication always chooses to
slap. slam and lambast the Audubon
Public School and never criticize the
visiting and opponent teams and tho
schools from which they come and
represent.
This request is perfectly legitim-
ate and correct that it be asked by
those who feel that they are slightly
conscious of the guilty ominous cloud
that overshadowed the bright pros
poets of the foot ball team which
was critized in last weeks issue.
Further requests that reached the
auxiliary nerves of the Republican
force were to the effect than an ex-
PLANTATION be forthcoming as to why
Editor Hoogenakker has always
knocked the school and every condi-
ton of atmosphere surrounding It,
instead of using the power of his
pen and fertile mind for the uplift-
ing and upbuilding of the education
al center of Audubon. Some made
the statement that nothing of good
was ever said in this paper for the
school. If the thoughtless ones who
made these senseless statements
could acquire the mental power to
think and read the columns of this
paper, they would not stop to run or
fly to this office to offer apologies
but would hasten to the nearest
phone as electrical energy is more
rapid to get them here, that their
conscience might be at rest.
We kindly take exceptions to
many of the retorts of hasty words
flung at us, believeing them to be
thought of immature minds. This
publication has at all times. past and
present, presented the true status of
school affairs as it was presented to
u.s. Each week the Reporter has
made several trips to the school
buildings, used the telephone innum-
cradle times. been present at athlet-
ic contests at all times possible.
AS result he has written of the
school affairs and devoted more
space than any paper in Audubon has
ever before done. Others in the city,
recognizing the large space granted
to the schools, have handed short
editorials which have gone in with
the other school notes and game
write-ups CLEANED by the reporter
The faults which were mentioned
last week were to the effect that
SOME members of the foot ball team
were not doing their best according
to circumstantial evidence present
ed in the contests here and on other
