wives who have been following Mr..
Hoover's orders, but it attracted the
attention of the Government. The
food administration has sent out.
through all state administrators, a
warning to corn. barley and oats mil
lers and to wholesale and retail deal
ers in the products, that at the pres
ent prices of these grains cornmeal
and oatmeal should be selling at
least twenty per cent below the price
of wheat flour and that corn flour
and barley flour should be selling at
least ten per cent below wheat flour.
Measures have been taken to en-
force the order and although retailers
are not under control wholesalers
will be instructed to cease dealing
with retailers who cannot justify their
prices on the basis of the cost Of
their goods, and the licenses of the
wholesalers who sell to retailers
charging excessive prices will be re-
voked. Many a housewife who has
been periodically obeying every in
struction for the conservation of food
while rising prices has caused the
most pinching economy will be glad
to hear this news. There has been
nothing meaner since war was de-
clared than profiteering on the fam
lilies of the Door.

AN UNDAUNTED SOUL

Ida M. Tarbell in the Red Cross
Magazine for June tells the inspiring
story of Cardinal MERCER, one heroic
man who stood out above the terrible
flood-when the Germans swept over
Belgium-unswervi brave and
serene She says:
THE more the world learns of
Cardinal MERCER, the higher it plac-
es him among the very few superior
men that have been developed in the
world war. His passionate sympathy,
his complete courage, his adroit and
unanswerable arguments in the cases
where he has clashed with the oc-
cupying power all put him high
among men, not only of his day, but
of any day. An extraordinary and
complete confidence in the justice of
God in all this misery, pervades ev-
erything that he writes and says
like some celestial light The man
may cry out in agony, but he does
not doubt. Some of his expressions
of faith with which he comforts his
people, are truly wonderful.
Il am told by those who worked
with the cardinal in Belgium that
the first impression he makes is one
of extraordinary spirituality. A
member of the Belgian commission
told me that the first time he went
ment was, Here is saint but when
he grasped his hand and looked into
his eye, he said, Here is a man -

STEAM LAUNDRY TO CLOSE

The City Steam Laundry. which
has been under the management of
j. b. Campbell the past year, who
had the business leased from c. Fl.
Stocking. quits business this week.
In fact Mr. Campbell did his last
washing last week, but he remains
here until the first of the month to
close up all business affairs. The
laundry will be closed up for the
present at least. . Mr.. Stocking does
not feel that he is physically able
to operate the business and until he
can dispose of it or lease it to other
parties, Audubon will be without q
laundry.
Mr.. Campbell has been here more
than year and has given the pat
rons good service. We regret that
he was unable to release the plant
so that he could remain with us. He
and his estimable wife will leave this
week for Shenandoah and other
points to take a well earned rest, af-
ter which they will likely re-enter
business elsewhere. They leave many
friends behind them, all of whom
will be interested in their locating in
a city where their ability will be full
ly appreciated.

BACK FROM HONOLULU

Reuben Musson, one of the young
men to volunteer his services to
UNCLE Sam about year ago, and
who was sent to Honolulu for coast
defense service, arrived in the city
Sunday for visit with relatives and
old friends. Reuben left Honolulu
last February and has since been
stationed at Fort Worden, Wash.
There he met number of boys from
audubon county who are in the
coast artillery. He reports all of
them in the best of spirits and anY-
ious to get across the waters for
service in France. He is visiting
his mother at Ames, and has 20
day furlough. The people of Audu-
bon were pleased to see him and
hope that his desire to go to France
will be gratified and that he will
return safely to home and friends
at the close of the war.

A WORD OF EXPLANATION

Anent the non-attendance of the
Boy Scouts at Memorial service in
the Presbyterian church last Sunday
morning, | wish to say that as sug-
gested by the Woman's Relief Corps
l saw Rev. c. w. Proctor on Fri
day, May 18th and told him what
was desired. l personally invited
the Audubon troop of Boy Scouts of
America, and took it for granted that
such an invitation included the
Scoutmaster. Those who have been
spreading abroad the statement that
the Scoutmaster was ignored should
consult not merely one party, but all
parties concerned. Even though the
Scoutmaster was prevented from at
tendance, is there not an assistant
Scoutmaster wo could have assisted
in that capacity. (see page II, mid
die of paragraph on assistant Scout
masters in handbook for Scoutmas-
teri, and because of the circum-
stances would it not have been COM
mon courtesy to the veterans of the
G A. r. and to the w. X. C. to either
be present or send regrets because
unable to be present?

THE REPLY
Here are the facts:

Here are the facts:
Mrs. Hansen called me over the
telephone and informed me that The
Relief Corps wished to present the
Boy Scouts with a flag on the oc-
casion of the Memorial Service tC be
held in the Presbyterian church.
Later Mr.. Mack in a conversation
with me stated the same, yet with
out naming the hour of service. OF
course l inferred that such a service
would be union affair, and l still
think it should have been, and |
never knew that the service was to
be held Sunday morning, the 26th
until, when making my announce
ments on Sunday evening May 18th,
at the Methodist church, at which
time | was announcing the union
Memorial service to be held at the
Presbyterian church the following
Sunday afternoon, when Mr.. Matt
Butterton kindly stated that the
Odd Fellows Memorial service would
be held in the afternoon and that
the Memorial service for the Grand
Army of the Republic was to be
held in the morning. This was the
first time / had even had it limited

of Sunday, May 26th.
l then announced that the Union
Memorial service would be held in
the Presbyterian church on Sunday
morning the 26th, and that We
would have no regular services in
our church on that day. At the close
of the service that evening l was re-
liably informed that the Memorial
service was not union affair, but
it was expected that the churches
would hold services as usual, which
We did. After finding that the
schedule for Memorial Sunday had
been made, thus you may easily
imagine my embarrassment in trying
to adjust my work to such a plan
l am pastor of the Methodist
church and must preach on that day
in my own church, the assistant
Scoutmaster teaches class in our
Sunday school and we are not in
the habit of sending the Scouts out

work out plan for the adjustment

tee composed of Mrs. Chandler and
Mrs. Leonard appeared, representing

sented flag to me in person, with
a request that present it to the Boy

CALLED TO HUSBANDS BEDSIDE

Mrs. Vern Swezey, who has been
here visiting at the home of her par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Ed Reuss since
she submitted to an operation at the
hospital in Atlantic about a month
ago. was called to the bedside of her
husband, a soldier at Camp Pike Ark.
Mr.. Swezey has been in poor health
all winter. The past ten days he has
not been able to do any drilling but
his condition was not thought to be
serious. Sunday word was sent by
wire that he was in serious condi-
ton and for Mrs. Swezey to come at
once. The telegram was sent by the
camp physician, so it was thought
that Mr.. Swezey must have been very
poorly. She left Monday morning
and would reach Camp Pike late yes
terday afternoon. Word from the
bedside of one of Audubon county's
soldiers is eagerly expected.

A SAD ACCIDENT

A very distressing cccident hap
pened Monday evening at the Ben
WEIGH home north OF Manning when
the baby son of Mr.. and Mrs. Welch
lost his life by drowning. Mr.
Welch had been busy all day as one
of the committeeman on the War
Saving Stamp and Red Cross drive
and his wife and the two sons were
alone at home when the accident
happened. The little boy, aged not
quite two years, was playing with his
Older brother about the barn yard
when the accident happened. How
it happened will never be known, but
it is thought that the child, while
playing toppled over the water tank
into the water. A moment later
Mrs. WEIGH missed her child and
on searching found him floating in
the water tank She siezed her boy
and carried him to the house and
hastily called to the nearest neigh
Dor, John Musfeldt who hurried
there as quickly as possible. The
boy was still alive, and Mr.. Welch
and doctors were nurridely called
But after working over the little one
