AN IRISH LULLABY

When the war is over laddie,
You can take tip from me,
There will be no German submarines
A diving through the sea.
For the father land and kaiser Bill
We're surely going to lick,
Well have a brand new kaiser
And the same will be Mick.
Well change the song, Der Watch
on Rhine"
Into an Irish reel,
And we'll make the Germans dance
to ii
Whenever we SO feel.
For the police force of Berlin
Will be Micks from county Glare,
When we put our Irish Kaiser
In the palace over there.
And in every German parkway
You will find a sweet colleen.
And the fields of German sauerkraut
Well plant with shamrocks green.
No liverwursts or sauerkraut
AS the German drinks his suds,
For he'll eat corn beef and cabbage
And good old Irish spuds.
No more big Zeps or gas bombs,
They can throw them all away
For they will Use shillalahs
Or bricks of Irish clay.
No longer will they wear the Iron
Cross,
The Shamrock they will wear
When we put our Irish Kaiser
In the palace over there.
The above was composed and con
tributed by an Irish lady residing
in the country east of Audubon.

SUPT. JOHANSEN IN
U. s. MILITARY SERVICE

Supt. F. w. Johansen, formerly
superintendent of the schools of this
city, but now of the Cherokee pub
lie schools, who failed to report in
Audubon to go to Fort Worden,
Washington, when 60 other Audi
bon county boys left we are in
formed, has been taken into the mil
itary service.
There evidently has been some
misunderstanding concerning Mr.. Jo-
hansen's case. He registered in this
county on June 5th last year. In
September he removed to Cherokee,
and there he sought to secure an
exemption from the district board.
The local exemption board of this
county had not been informed that
he had secured an exemption and
sent Mr.. Johansen the pink card, in
forming him to appear in this city
on December 18th to enter the ser
vice. Mr.. Johansen failed to put in
an appearance, on the grounds we
understand, that he had an exemp-
ton from the northern district
board.
Last Sunday word was received by
the local board in Audubon that the
Johansen case had been taken en-
tirely out of the hands of all ex-
emption boards and that Mr.. johann
sen was now in the military service
At the hour of going to press we
have heard nothing further and Mr..
,Johansen could not be reached at
Cherokee as he was probably away
on a holiday vacation.

ried life.

Mrs. M. K. Kennedy of Jackson, Ne
braska, and has been in Audubon

fine herds of cattle and getting them
ready for the sales.
After the ceremony the wedding

ton was held. Some twenty rela-
tives and personal friends we're

ing.

the Northwestern this morning for
Denver, Colo, and later will go to
Sioux City, after which they will

BOY SCOUTS ENTERTAIN
THEIR FATHERS AT SUPPER

The Boy Scouts of Audubon enter
tanned their fathers at supper at
the Methodist church last Monday
evening. Each boy scout brought
enough to eat for himself and his
father, and when time for supper
came one half waited on the other,
so that serving was soon dispensed
with. For an hour or more the boys
were entertained at various games,
after which Rev. Proctor, the Scout
Master, Supt. McIntTe and Dr. A. l..
Brooks gave short talks that were
greatly appreciated by the boys and
their fathers. After the program
was concluded a number of the boys
with their parents and the Camp
Fire Girls went out to the pond to
skate the old year out and the new
year in.

Mr.. and Mrs. Joe Leonard, who lived

SERVICES PROVE POPULAR

Union services on Sunday evening
participated in by the churches of
Audubon, will no doubt prove pop
ular with the people. The first ser
vice of the series was held at the
Presbyterian church last Sunday
night and the sermon was preached
by Rev. Proctor of the Methodist
church
The pastors of the churches met
several weeks ago and decided to
hold the morning services in the in
dividual churches, but in the even
ings the Young Peoples Societies
and the preaching services could be
held at the various churches. alter
mating each Sunday. In this way
there would be conservation of
coal, which seems quite necessary at
this time.
The service at the Presbyterian
church Sunday evening was we'll at
tended and Rev.-Proctor preached a
powerful gospel sermon. On next
Sunday evening Rev. Mack, pastor
of the Presbyterian church, will
preach the sermon at the service to
be held at the Evangelical church.
At all of these services the church
should be packed TO capacity.

AN EXTENSIVE FEEDER

j. F. Miller, one or the prosperous
farmers in Viola township, and one
Of the most extensive stock feeders
in the county, was in the city yes
terday completing a deal for a lot
of corn. At the present time he is
feeding 1877 head of cattle and $50
head of hogs. During the early fall
he fed a great deal of the soft corn,
believeing that the soldiers eoul6
use the beef from the cattle where
they could not use the soft corn. He
has a large quantity of good corn
which he is holding back for feeding
in the spring. Mr.. Miller said the
soft corn was good for feeding pur-
poses. but 1t took more of it to pro-
duce the same amount of fat than
good corn. He is one of the patriotic
men of the county and in the next
call a son of his will likely be in
cluded. So many of the young men
leaving the farm makes 1t a difficult
problem for farmers to secure suffi-
cient help to care for the crops next
year.
