ANNOUNCE QUOTAS SOON

The quotas to be furnished by the
different local boards of the state
in response to the call for troops on
May rs, will be announced in a day
or two.
Figuring these quotas was a big
Job, according to Adjutant General
Guy Z. Logan. There are twelve
districts in the state and for each
one it was necessary to carry out a
separate and distinct line of compu-
tations in order to arrive at the num-
Der of men that the district must
furnish. These deductions had to be
made on account of men already fur
nished.
After all these computations were
made it was necessary to see that
they tailed exactly with the records
kept by the war department at Wash
ington. This necessitated interchange
of many wires and much correspon-
dence.
General Logan state- that from
former present indications it would
seem that the number of men who
will be called on May rs will exceed
1000 instead of some $50 as was at
first estimated This is due to the
Interpretation placed by the war de-
partment on the matter CT applying
credits. 1t appears that the credits
of any given district can be applied
only in that district. For instance
if one county has a credit of SEQ and
the next county has no credits, the
credits in the first cannot be applied
in the econd, which will therefore
have to furnish its full quota.

GENERAL CLEANUP
CAMPAIGN OPENS

Paint up and clean up in Audubon
has not received the advance start
this year as in previous years, and
many persons have neglected to give
their yards and alleys the cleanup
that should be given and which was
ordered completed in the recent proc
lamation issued by the mayor All
who have not completed their duties
along this line should get busy at
once and clean up their yards, alleys,
cellars, etc., and then get busy and
see that your neighbors do likewise.
If they object report them to the city
authorities and their yards will be
cleaned of trash etc, and they will
have to pay the city the cost of re-
moving the same.
Fresh paint does more to improve
the interior of the home as well as
the outside of the home more than
any one thing, and it also tends to
kill disease germs, that are lurking
about since the winter months.

ENGAGE NEW TEACHERS

Supt M. M. Mclntire while at Ce-
dar Falls recently contracted for
three new school teachers, who will
come to Audubon next fall to take
up their duties. The school board
left the n1tter of selection optional
with Mr.. McIntire. The new teach
ers engaged are: Miss Mary Tres
ton, Rockwell City, Ia, who will
have charge of the departmental
work in the 9Th, 9TH and Sth grades.
Miss Treston is a graduate from the
Normal two year course. Miss Ma
bel o. Dosing, Wellman, Iowa. who
will be in charge of the kindergar-
ten, is a graduate from Kindergarten
two years course. Miss Gladys Sech-
Ter, Cedar Falls, Iowa, graduate of
the Primary Department two years
course, will have charge of the Bird
grade room. Supt. McIntire is for
tunate in the selection of these teach
ers, as they come to the Audubon
schools very highly recommended.
1t is a hard matter to get good
school teachers at any price for next
year.

Withdrawals last week changed that

put out at 6 per cent on loans Sc
cured by mixed collateral and 6}}a
per cent on loans secured by indus
trial collateral. Comparatively little
new time money was offered, and
most of that which was available was
for thirty days. In response to the
Widespread criticism of fixing the
level of loans on September Is as
the arbitrary standard to which all
present loans for Stock Exchange
purposes had to conform, the board
of governors of the exchange ap-
pointed a committee of five to con-
slider the general situation and to
confer with the bankers who COM
prise the money committee. Ac-
cording to those best informed, the
new committee is seeking to re-
move the inequities in the present
restrictions rather than to have
them rescinded. The brokers' COM
mittee held informal meetings last
week, and. although no public an
nouncement has been made, it is
probable that it will be ready to COM
municate with the money committee
at it's next regular meeting.

In a word. the business and imam

no longer New York or Wall Street.
For a good while to come it will
continue to be Washington. Thence
comes the issue Of prosperity on
disturbance and depression. There

for years to come. Indeed, there
