BOYS VISIT NEIGHBORS.

Audubon boys made a visit to Man
ing a short time ago and they regret
very much that they were not infor-
med of existing conditions in our
neighboring city. The Monitor speaks
about the affair in the following;
Saturday night shortly after mid
night about thirty Audubon visitors
mostly school boys, came to Naming
and enlivened the town by singing,
cheering, racing their autos along the
streets. ringing bells and other wise
patriotically demonstrating. Man
ming people did not take the visit
kindly that night for but few hours
earlier they had witnessed the burial
Of one of her most beloved soldier
boys and further the same evening
news came that two more of our Man
ming boys were reported dead in
France. OF course the visitors did
not know that. else they would have
been more considerate OF our sor-
rowing citizens. Had it not been for
the sorrow manifested Saturday.
Manning would have had a big cell
ebration that evening. However no
one thought Of celebrating,. when
all our flags floated at half mast.

MANTZ FOR REPRESENTATIVE

III. j. Mantz, of this city. is the
republican candidate for representa-
tive. Two years ago he was elected
to serve the people of this county
and his work in the legislature was
watched with considerable interest.
Mr. Mantz proved to be one of the
strongest men in the lower house.
He was soon recognized as man of
ability and was placed on some of
the most important committees. His
record in the last Legislature brought
credit to himself and the people of
the county he represented.
Mr.. Mantz asks to be returned for
second term. If elected he will be
in position to do better than before.
He is in line for some big appoint
>ments and will be in position to
render Audubon county service that
would take other men years to ac-
complish. His record is clean. He
is recognized as man of good sound
judgment and that is what is needed
IN the legislature,
Mr. Mantz needs no introduction
at our hands for he has lived in this
county 81 years, twenty of which
were spent Ol tue lar III. TIC Ids

and during that time was county at
torney two terms and served as
mayor of the town for period of
five years. and in each instance has
given universal satisfaction.
He was chairman of the Red Cross
during the year of its organization.
He assisted in the Y. NJ. C.. A. drives
and in the four Liberty Loan drives,
making numerous speeches over the
county in the interests of war &C
tivities. Governor Harding appoint
| ed Mr. Mantz chairman of the legal
advisory board with the responsible
| ity of seeing that all registrants
were advised and assisted in filling
out their questionaires. Fully a
third of his time has been devoted
! to war work since the war broke out
and all of this time has been given
gratis Mr.. Mantz is fluent speak
er and he rendered excellent service

Minute Men. The people of Audi

that we have. no better, more con-
scientious or painstaking men in
public life than Mr.. Albertsen He
has no opposition for reelection and
of course will be elected as he
should be.
The county recorders office has
been in excellent hands and for two
years past under. the able manage
ment OF Miss Ella Farquhar. The
books in that office were never in
better shape Every little detail is
given the closest attention and if
Miss Farquhar is returned to serve
another term of two years. the tax
payers may rest assured that their
interests will be in safe hands. Miss
Farquhar has lived in the county a
good many years and is widely
known as a woman of exceptional
ability. The state checkers who were
here this fall paid her high COM
pliment when they stated that few
books in Iowa were kept in as good
condition as those of Audubon coun-
ty. The people of Audubon county
cannot overlook this important fact
and if Miss Farquhar's work is given
the recognition it deserves. she will
be returned by an overwhelming ma
jority
The office of county attorney and
county coroner are left blank on the
republican ticket this year. T. NJ.
Rasmussen, of Extra, is the demo-
cratic candidate for coroner and the
republicans have not put candi-
date in the field to oppose him.
J. II. Maharg. the present men,
Der of the board of supervisors, is
before the people asking for re-elec-
ton He has given two years of his
time to the county and has made a
good record He has saved the
county money wherever he could. He
has economical wherever it was pos
sible and not interfere with the best
interest of all the people. While
he was elected on the republican
ticket. he has known no politics. He
was elected to serve the people to
the best of his ability and this he
has done. Mr.. Maharg has lived in
the county a long time and knows
the needs of the county as perhaps
few other men do No one could
render any better service than he has
rendered. We believe the voters in
both parties recognize his exception
al ability as a member of the most
important body, in the county and
will give him a vote of confidence at
the general election on Nov. 9Th.
We ask the voters to give the can
didates mentioned above due consid-
Grafton. All of them are worthy OF
your confidence and esteem and de-
serve well at your hands. We hope
they will be elected and from pres
ent indications we have no reason to
doubt but what they will. We know
for a surety that each and every
one will appreciate the support OF
the voters of Audubon county.

MUST TAKE UP WAR
SAVINGS STAMP PLEDGES

Now that the Liberty Loan cam
paign is out of the way steps are to
be taken by the Iowa War Savings
committee to secure 100 per cent
redemption of the War Savings
Stamp pledges made earlier in the
year. The campaign is to he put on
at the direct request of Secretary of
the Treasury McAdoo, who declares
that the government expects every
pledge to be made good. Homer A.
Miller, state director of the War Saw
ings campaign in Iowa, today made
the following announcement regard
ing the pledge redemption drive.
Word has gone out to county and
city chairmen of the War Savings
stamp campaign to begin work at
once to secure 100 per cent collec-
ton Of War Savings Stamp pledges
made during the year. They VIII
begin their work al once and Will
push vigorously the collection of all
delinquent pledges.
"The government expects and de-
mands that every citizen of Iowa
who signed a pledge earlier in the
year for the purchase of stamps make
good that pledge The government
assumes that every pledgor signed his
pledge in good faith and does not
hold it in the light of mere scrap
of paper"
1.-THE, government, through Secre-
tarv McAdoo also asks that payments
due on pledges in December be paid
in November in order that the en-
tire campaign in the state can be
cleaned up by Dec. |. Iowa has many
millions worth of stamps yet to Duy
and this amount cannot be raised
without 100 per cent redemption oil
all pledges and the purchase OF
stamps to the limit by those who did
not sign pledge.
"In order to bring about full re-
demption of all pledges, ] ask every
Iowan who signed pledge to go at
once to the bank or postoffice where
| IL is redeemable and make good on
his or her promise to loan money to

will be allowed for this. Later, steps

satisfied with less"

eager to lend assistance. He held a
prominent place in the community
in which he lived, for he devoted
much of his energies in the upbuild-
ing of the community and the better
ment OF humanity. Mr.. Quinby was
member of the Methodist church
and also of the Masonic lodge.

DEMAND THAT GUILTY
SHALL PAY PENALTY

GENEVA, Oct. 22.-Peace must
not be delayed single day on ac-
count of the Hohenzollerns if they
are an obstacle to it, declares the
Nolks Freund of Karlsruhe, which
also is permitted to speak of the dis
appearance of the superstitious be-
lief that the emperor was chosen to
rule by divine right.
The STEWARDSHIP Tagwacht says
that everybody is now convinced the
allies will not accord Germany a
cheap peace, but if the glory and,
power of imperial Germany is the
price the German people are ready
to pay"
In permitting such items to leave
Germany the German censorship ap-
parentIy is preparing public opinion
for coming events.
URGE GALLONS FOR GUILTY.
AMSTERDAM, Oct. %. - The
Frankische Tagespost OF Nuremberg.
the first paper in Germany to de-
mand openly the abdication of the
emperor. declares that the accession
of the crown prince is entirely out
of the question.
THE German people is searching
for the guilty" says the Volks lei
tung, the organ of the Nuremberg
socialists. THE pan-Germans and
junkers are silent today. but we do
not forget that they are the great
war meters III Germany. that they
are menace to the future healthy
development of the German empire
To the gallows with the guilty who
ever they may be.
WILL DEMAND RECKONING. ,
The socialist Arbeiter Zeitung of
Vienna urges the German socialists
to punish the chief culprits" with
out mercy, adding:
when the German soldiers return
home from the trenches after four
years of unparalleled suffering there
will be reckoning for the people
who have led them to this catastro-
phe. The German people will sweep
away the junkers and take its own
destiny into its own hands"

OBSERVE IOWA DAY
10th OF NEXT MONTH
ON ACCOUNT OF PREVALENCE
OF SPANISH FLU REGULAR
OBSERVANCE POSTPONED.

With the Iowa schools closed be-
cause of the Sprnish flu the observ-
ance of Iowa Day which had been
fixed for Oct. 25th. has been post
poned to Nov 27th.
The observance of Iowa Day when
the public school pupils learn of
Iowa's resources and its achieve
ments through special program was
instituted two years ago. This it is
recognized there is more abundant
reason than ever for giving consid-
Grafton to the achievements of the
state.
The wonderful performance of
Iowa soldiers on the western 'front.'
the heavy caBualties in tho Iowa
ranks, showing Iowa has large pro-
portion of men in the thick of the
fighting, the fact that the state has
almost 1875, 900 men in the serv-
ice, the record Iowa made in this
last Liberty Loan as well as in the
one preceding being the first state
TO subscribe its quotas and then over
subscribing them, its finishing first
in it's class in classifying the recent
draft, its liberal subscriptions to the
Red Cross and all other war actlv-
tiles these are among the new ac-
complishments made by the people
of the Hawkeye state in this time of
greatest need
There is much for Iowans to feel
proud of. 1t was learned now that
Iowa was the first state to get
through with the classification of
the new fegistrants and prepare for
any new demand that the govern
ment may make There is some spe-
cial reason for Iowa's accomplish
ments; it's people are thoroughly
loyal. they are in earnest, they are
organized to do the best that they
can. This spirit must be fostered
and maintained. and Iowa people
must continue TO be first in respond
ing to the needs of the government.
