ASKING READERS
TO PAY ARREARACE
Statements Being Mailed Out to all
Those Outside of Audubon
County

The Republican Is sending out this
week a statement Of account to all
subscribers outside of Audubon coun-
ty who are in arrears with their
subscription. We decided the first
of the year to continue to publish
the paper at the subscription rate OF
$1.0O per year, with the understand
ing that all subscriptions would be
paid in advance. We will also stop
the paper at the time of expiration.
This will be of advantage to the sub
scriber as well as ourselves. When
you contract with q newspaper pub
Usher for one year you mean one.
and not two. In many cases, in fact
practically all cases, the reader wish
es the paper continued, but he ought
to have the privilege of re-ordering
1t each year. No one objects to a
daily stopping when the time is out,
and we are satisfied that no reader
Of the Republican will object to hav-
ing the paper stop when the time for
which he has paid has expired. The
margin at one dollar a year 2issso
small that we are compelled to in
augurate this system.
We published a statement in the
paper during the month of March
that we were going to the cash in
advance and stop when the time is
out plan, but on account of a short
age of help we could not carry out
our original plan. When you re-
ceive the statement, kindly send us
q remittance. The paper has GER
tainly been worth the price asked for
It, and now that it Is due, we ought
to have the money.
The publisher will greatly appre-
slate the favor II this matter is
promptly attended to. We havs no
desire to force the paper on anyone.
and II you don't want the paper any
longer, kindly pay up all back sub
scription and the paper will be
stopped
We have every assurance that the
Republican is being appreciated by
It's large family of readers. AS ev-
tdence Of this fact we have to state
that almost 100 new names were
added to the list during the last week
IN February and the fore part of
March. All of these new readers
came without solicitation. If there
are others who are not now taking
the paper, we would be glad to en-
roll them.
The high rate of postage and the
high cost of all materials entering
into the publishing of a newspaper
makes it imperative that we adopt
this new plan at once. 1t is not fair
to ask one reader to pay $3.50 a year
for newspaper in order to make up
the deficit caused by the other fell
low failing to pay his subscription.
The plan of everyone paying his
share is the proper one and IL every
reader of the Republican will pay his
dollar in advance we can continue to
publish a good newsy paper at that
rate. May we not have an immed-
late response to the statements sent
out this week?

VISITING HIS FORMER FRIENDS

Rev. C. W. Proctor. pastor of the
Methodist church, in company with
his children, left overland Monday
for Gravity, where they will spend
several days with former friends,
Rev. Proctor was for several years
pastor of the Methodist church in
that city where he made many close
personal friends, all of whom will
no doubt be glad to know that he is
getting along nicely with his work
in Audubon. The Boy Scouts have
been somewhat lonesome this week
without their Scoutmaster. but he
will make up for lost time when he
returns. which will probably be to-
morrow.

GO-HAWK HAPPY TRIBE
PROGRAM SUCCESSFUL

The entertainment given at the
high school auditorium on last Mon
day evening for the poor children of
Belgium and France, was decided
success. The cast, which we a
large one, was composed OF children
of the grades under the direction of
tieir respective teachers, and the
makeup was excellent. The school
auditorium was crowded TO over
flowing and the proceeds, which
amounted to $62.66 will be turned
into the Go-Hawk Happy Tribe Ben
eft Fund for the war orphans. Ev-
cry one taking part in the program
did excellent. Jane Brooks in telling
of the organization of the tribe made
a great hit with the audience, as
did Annis Ashby in her solo dance.
The living pictures were grand. All
in all the program was one of the
finest ever produced in Audubon and
the teachers and the children who
worked so hard and faithful to make
II the success 1t proved to be, de-
serve more than ordinary credit.

SOME OF OUR VERY
BEST LEAVE NEXT WEEK

Eighteen more Audubon county
young men. among them being some
of German parentage, will leave A.
dubon Monday morning for .ansp
Dodge, and later will probably be
sent across to the field of battle.
1t seems hard that these young men
Of German ancestry or any of our
young men will have to sacrifice
home ties and perhaps life in the
worldwide effort to crush the men
ace of German autocracy. Be this
as it may; the measure of our secur-
ity and the character of our peace
will all depend upon sending out
sufficient numbers Of our fine young
men to overcome the ambitions of
this bestial monarch of the Huns,
and strengthen our Americanism.
German autocracy and the kaiser
who is nothing more than lust
maddened murderer and wolf hound.
cares nothing for morality, and it
will only come to pass that his high
handed rule will come to a halt.
when such as the best of American
blood reaches the battle front and
enter the trenches. Then, and only
then, with the aid Of the allies, full
ly organized, will the "Over the Top"
become a reality, and we only hope
that this will soon be accomplished.
Iowa furnishes 3,412 men in this
call.
Remember, while these boys are
away doing the lighting for us, that
it is our solemn duty to see, by all
means in our power. that they are
provid d with every comfort and
help that it is possible for us at
home to furnish. Don't. wait each
time to be solicited for funds, if
you are in position to provide lib
orally or very little to the cause, do
SO by remembering the several or
CARNATIONS, Red Cross, X. of c., and
Y. NJ G.. A., at different times.
Following is the list Of the men
who will leave on next Mondays
early Rock Island train, as they
have to report Monday afternoon:
Guy L. Dugan, Larsen Petersen,
Henry Miller, Laurits Bach, Chas.

The Devil said Hello" to Bill
And Bill said "how are you?
I'm running now hell on earth
So tell me what to do.
what can l do?" the Devil said,
MY dear old Kaiser Bill?
If there's thing that | can do
To help you, sure l will.
The kaiser said, Now listen,
And / will try to tell
The way that l am running
On earth a modern hell.
I've saved for this for many years.
And I've started out to kill
That it will be a modern job
You leave to Kaiser Bill.
"My army went through Belgium,
Shooting women and children down,
We tore up all the country
And blew up all her towns.
"My Zeps dropped bombs on cities
Killing both old and young,
And those the Zeppelins didn't get
Were taken out and hung.

With the aid of poisoned gas;
The Belgians. darn 'em. stopped US,
And would not let us pass.
" My submarines are devils,
Why, you should see them fight!
They go sneaking through the sea
And sink ship at sight

When a man named Woodie Wilson
Wrote to me to go more slow.
"He said to me, Deal William,
We don't want to make you 81 re,
So be sure and tell your U-boats
To sink our ships no more.
We have told you for the. last time
So. dear Bill, it's up to you.
And IL you do not stop it
You may have to fight US, too.
II didn't listen to him.
And he's coming after me
With a million Yankee soldiers
From their homes. across the sea.
"Now, that's why I've called you,
Satan,
For I want advice from you;
/ knew that you would tell me
Just what ought to do"
Answer
my dear old Kaiser William,
There's not much for me to tell,
For the Yanks will make it hotter
Than for you in hell.
"Tve been a near I'd Devil,
But not near as mean as you,
And the minute that you get here
I will give my job to you.
9TH be ready for your coming.
And I'll keep the fires ali bright
And I'll have your room all ready
When the Yanks begin to fight.
For the boys in blue will get you;
l have nothing more to tell,
Hang up your phone and get your
hat
And meet me here in hell.
