Otto Tennigkeit, who has applied
for service in the United States
Army. 1t is reported, telephoned here
from Des Moines to county officials
last Friday to find out II it would
be safe for his brother, Fred. to re-
turn to Audubon. He was answered
that it probably would. provided that
Fred made good the $1,000 check
for the Red Cross fund. Fred re-
turned to Audubon on the early Sat
urday Rock Island train. We failed
to see him arrive SO he must have
left the train from the west side and
slunk down the track, ashamed to
be seen by the patriotic Americans.

A MOer WELCOME LETTER

The editor of the Republican re-
-ceive q most welcome letter from
Rev. Jackson Giddens, former pas
tor of the Audubon Methodist church
but who was transferred to Winter
set last September. The letter is
very interesting. and that of special
Week ago last Sunday we had
one of the greatest services ever
held in the church. We unveiled a
service flag for our boys that have
gone to the war. We have 81 in
the army and two Red Cross nurses
from our church. I had previously
planned 1t and invited all the par
ents and near Relatives to be pres
emit. The house was packed and I
gave them my war sermon which
was applauded many times : as l
went along. We placed the service
flag in the center of The pulpit. At
the close of the service I had all of
our young men who have register
ed and are subject to the call, to
come to the front and 60 to the
right of the pulpit, the Old Soldiers
and Spanish war veterans came to
the front and left. while the par
ents came and stood in front of the
pulpit. called the roll and the
parents passed through the pulpit
and pinned on the stars for their
boys, and as each star was pinned on
the congregation cheered. All the
while "The Star, Spangled Banner
was being played. Then we had a
cheer for the flag. one for the Span
ish war veterans a. then q rousing
one for the old soldiers. while they
waved the flag. Then came the eli
max of 1t all when I told In a. few
words how they defended 1t and
fought for 1t to have one country
and one flag, but could not go now
else they would, but were COM
PEELED to see younger men take their
places. At this time the young men
marched from the right across to
the old soldiers and they waved the
flag and turned 1t over to the boys,
who took 1t and marched back across
the church.
never heard such a cheer in a
church building. and never saw a
congregation all crying at the same
time. Now word just comes this af.
ternoon that one of these very boys
is sleeping across the sea. His par
ents received the first letter from
him this morning since going across,
then the cablegram came this after
noon, December 25th. 1t brings the
war q little nearer than ever be.

We would liked to have dropped
in at the rabbit supper and have
seen Earnest Reed and Chas. Wolfe
splitting the gravy while Levi Kopp
and Ed Bilharz washed dishes. Have
to just take 1t all in by magma
ton. but that does some good.
/ We eagerly watch for the Repub-
lican each week, and usually there
is a scrap over it to see who gets
it first"
The people of Audubon are pleas
ed to learn that Rev. Giddens Is en-
joying the work at Winterset and
all hope that he may find time to
pay his many friends here an oc
casional visit.

AUDUBON MAN ONE
OF THE INSTRUCTORS

January Is to 25are the dates de
cided upon for b5lding the annual
painters short course In Council
Bluffs, and the instruction will be
given In the basement rooms of the
Washington Avenue school building.
/ e. e. Bailey of this city will be one
of the instructors.
The Iowa Painters short courses
are recognized by those interested
in the painting business ~ the most
valuable agency In the state for the
improvement of the craft. They have
been established for four years and
each year sees an expansion Of the
activity and increased interest on the
part of the painters throughout the
state.
Starting with one short course in
1914 they have now increased in
number and influence until this year
when six short courses will be held
In the state. To make the activity
Of greatest value to the painters of
the state, the short courses are now
held in various cities conveniently To-
Gated to the painter in the city and
the small towns as we'll. They pro-
vide the best means possible for q
painter to learn the latest up-to-date
practice in his trade and to come in
contact with the styles of work other
than he encounters in his daily bus
iness.
The courses are given primarily
for men in the trade who have had
some experience, but never have had
M oportunity for any formal in
stxuGtlol. The first five days of the
course are devoted to granting oak
and mahogany, mixing and applica-
ton OF granting ground. what colors
to use and how to ~ them, the mix
ing and applications Of sraining. col
ors, stipling, working the growth,
over-graining and finishing.
The second five days are given to
the subject of wall decoration, the
mixing of c0lors, preparation Of
walls. lining and stenciling, the har-
mony of colors. stippled, blended and
notified effects. This year one day
will be devoted to each room of the
house and the type Of decoration
suitable to 1t.
Two evenings each week will be
devoted to general discussions. The
evening sessions are designed to take
up general paint problems which are
not touched on in the instruction
which Is given. Many students have
testified that these evening sessions
are well worth the entire time and
cost of attendanc.

LOCAL. OVERLAND
DEALER RETURNS
FROM |. A. MEET

E. S Lack, of the Overland Agency,
this city, returned few days ago
from Los Angeles, where he was in
daily attendance at convention of
Southern California automobile
agents and distributors.
Mr.. Lack states that the most I'M
pressive topic of the convention was
the serious situation now facing deal
ers everywhere, namely, the difficulty
of securing cars. and the fact that
in many instances the manufacture
of cars has been discontinued. Wher-
ever a certain make of car has been
discontinued, it means also that the
manufacture of parts has also stopped,
or at least been curtailed.
Whether or not the necessary raise
time on will materially affect the de-
mand for cars is rather hard to state
at this time, but it is certainly safe
to say that the man who intends buy
ing a car should do so now, while
there is still an opportunity to make
a selection.
Insofar as the Overland people are
concerned, they have, with usual fore
sight, built large reserve supply Of
cars, which it has been estimated will
take care of the demand for some
months to come Personally we have
just received twelve new cars, which
are now on the floor at our new 10
cation in the Barbara Worth Garage,
and have received the promise of four
carloads to be delivered in the near
uture. - SBE
We have also received full stock
of parts and, inasmuch as large or
der for parts for future delivery has
leen accepted by the company, we an
t,cipate no trouble in taking care Of
the needs of Overland owners here in
the Valley.
To emphasize the serious demand
for cars, Mr. Lack stated that he had
this week turned down the offer of
coast dealer who wished to pay him
retail prices for his present stock of
Overlands.
''G bought these cars for Imperial
Valley people and as long as they
asst current prices will prevail"

LOCAL TIRE MAN
PREDICTS CLOSE
TIRE FACTORIES

That conditions brought about by
wartime demands will eventually
make it necessary for the automobile
tire manufacturers to close their fac
tories for a period of six months or
more, is the opinion expressed today
] Lewis Lizer, proprietor of the Ell
Centre Cut Rate Tire Company.
Just how soon this move will be
ecessary cannot be definitely stated
this time. but present indications
sre that it is in the near future.
Fortunately the Ell Centro Cut Rate
Tire Company has anticipated just
such a situation and. regardless of the
fact that cord tire manufacture has
] zen materially reduced, we have been
successful in securing an immense
stock of Miller Cord Tires, and hope
to meet the demands of the trade for
some time without experiencing any
s,rious embarrassment

has prevented the diversion of the
entire flow of the Colorado river to

Heavy Rainfall During Severe Night
and Day Thunderstorms

With rainfall OF more than an inch
and half, Burlington and surrounding
territory has been well drenched since
early yesterday morning. The rain dur
ing Tuesday night was accompanied by
a wind which reached a velocity of So
miles an hour and which tore limbs from
trees and raised havoc with shrubbery
The storm yesterday afternoon was
accompanied by a fierce display Of cleo
tricity and the heavy fall Of rain fiat
tened out gardens and helped along the
damage done the night before. The
lightning struck In several places. Fuses
were burned out at a number of places
and the city was minus electric lights
for time over part of the business
section. For an hour, during the worst
or the storm, the power was shut off
from the trolley car system. One bolt
OF lightning struck the lightning rod on
the Methodist Church and followed it
down. doing no damage.
While little damage was done by the
water yesterday. continued rain would
cause considerable damage in the gardens
which are located on low land. They
have all the water they can stand now.
The heavy rain did touch the streets to
some extent and washed off the dress
ing, where there is any left to wash
off. There were minor lot of washouts
at d'Herent points, but nothing serious
was reported. To the northeast of Bur

harder.
The rainfall yesterday afternoon WAS
