WORK OF SCHOOL PUPILS
NOW ON EXHIBITION

The Industrial Arts department of
the Audubon public schools has on
exhibit in the display windows of
the Kraft-Farr Co., handsome lot
of furniture and other works OF, art.
the finished product of the pupils in
that department. This will remain
open to the inspection of the public
during the remaining days of school.
They are the admiration of everyone
who stops to see them. Many per-
sons are not aware that such arti-
Giles are being made in the school
room. 1t is a department that has
come into existence during the past
few years. The work is wonderful
and gives the public some idea of
what is being taught and accomp-
lished in our schools beside book
learning. There was a time when
reading, writing and arithmetic were
the only branches of study consider
ed necessary for any pupil But in
this progressive age many other
studies have been added and the tai
ents of pupils in other directions dis
covered and advanced to a state of
usefulness.
The exhibit is distinct credit to
the pupils and teacher alike. 1t is
department that is finding favor
with students and no doubt if COM
petent instructors can be found. it
will be feature of considerable
note in all the high schools of the
state of Iowa and elsewhere.

county has been informed by the
governor that all men reaching the
age of twenty-one years from June
5th 1917 to June 5th 1918. will be
required to register at the court
house in this city on June 5th. This

passed by congress and effective in
every state in the union. 1t is esti-
mated that there will be 100000
men of that age in the draft in the
United States. There will probably
be 14O in Audubon county who have
become twenty-one years of age
since the 5th of June, 1917. The

be issued and it is the duty of every
young man coming within the limits

CITY OF AUDUBON
MAKES GOOD SHOWING

Following is a statement of the
contributions in the city of Audubon
for the second Red Cross War Fund
which have been reported. to John
Horning. chairman for the second
Red Cross War Fund, by the various
city solicitors. There are some par
ties who were not seen by the solicit
orS and several pledges are still out
and it is thought that the final
amount will be well over $2.700. The
quota for the City of Audubon was
$1361. This means that the people
of Audubon have contributed 200
per cent of their quota to the second
Red Cross War Fund. which is
very remarkable showing, especially
since the people of Audubon and vi
entity have been contributing so gen.
erously in the past to all war cause
drives. All of the solicitors report
that the people gave most willingly,
and consistent with their means

RED CROSS DRIVE Is
SUCCESS IN COUNTY

The second Red Cross drive in
Audubon county, held last Monday.
has proved to be another success.
The fund is more than 80 per cent
over subscribed. The quota allot-
ted to the county was $4,000. 90
and the amount received was approx
imately SIS. 76649.
At no time was it easier to'raise
money for this all important fund.
All the solicitors had to do was call
and the donors were ready with a
liberal donation. Audubon county
made big donation last year when
the amount was oversubscribed al
most so per cent
Every township in the county did
her share. In the towns the over
subscriptions were che largest. Take
for instance Kimballton-they went
about 260 per cent over the top. Ex-
ira and Audubon also went over
quite heavily.
County chairman ]. B. j. Lohner
of Extra, was nthe city today and
told us he was greatly pleased with
the returns The following list by
townships is the amount reported to
him. There are still some to report
so IL is safe to say that it will run in
the neighborhood of $4,000. The

BROTHERS FAMILY KILLED
Wife and Son Were Visiting Rela.
tiyes i'm NeighbOrhOOd Where
Score We're Killed.

Henry Frederichsen was called to
Bloomfield, Knox county Nebraska
Monday afternoon on account of the
death of his brother. August Fred
erickson and family Saturday night
a tornado devastated section of
country in Knox and adjoining coun-
ties and the Fredericton farm was in
the path of the storm Mrs Fred
erickson and one child were killed
instantly and Mr. Fredericksen and
a seven months old baby died of
injuries Sunday afternoon. A seven
year old boy is the only survivor of
the family. All of the buildings on
the Frederichsen farm were totally
destroyed.
The news came as a great shock to
Henry. who was unable to compre-
bend the full meaning of the tele-
gram which was sent him. His wife
and son William were visiting relas-
tives near Bloomfield, having driv-
en- overland last Thursday. No
word was sent regarding them so it
is surmised they were visiting other
relatives in the vicinity at the time
OF the storm and must be safe, or
word to the contrary would have
been communicated to the relatives
here.
Eight other persons were killed in
the same vicinity where the tornado
did much damage to property and
crops. The storm seems to have
taken an upward course after leav-
ing Bloomfield and remained in the
air until it reached a strip of coun-
try in South Dakota.
Mr.. Frederichsen has the sympa-
thy of the people of the vicinity
and all trust that his wife and son
were out of reach of the death deal
ing storm.

WILL MANAGE HIS OWN STORE

The last two issues of the Repub-
lican contained an advertisement for
G.. w. Hansen a. Co., the new furni-
ture dealers in the second story of
the Henriksen building. in which the
name of Jorgen Madsen appeared as
manager. This was done without
the authority of Mr.. Hansen. who
states that he has no manager for
his store here. and that he intends
to take personal charge of the bus
mess himself. He has been here all
week looking after business matters
and will probably arrange to become
permanent resident of Audubon.
He also owns and operates a store
at Elk Horn and it may be possible
that he will put a competent mana
ger over there.

KAISER, THE BEAST OF BERLIN
Production at Crescent Theatre Fri
day and Saturday Well PatrOnized

Don Preston of the Crescent the
atre brought to Audubon last Fri
day and Saturday the great motion
picture production, The Kaiser, the
Beast of Berlin, which was shown at
his popular play house both nights
with matinee on Saturday after
noon. All of the performances were
well patrOnized. In fact the two
shows each evening taxed the seat
ing capacity of the house to its linn
it. The Saturday matinee also prov
ed popular, and it was necessary to
run the show the second time to ac-
commodate those wishing to see this
masterpiece in seven reels.
The story is but tho showing of
conditions as they actually exist in
France and Belgium. II gives but
faint insight of the vicious and
brutal atrocities practiced by the
army by the kaiser. 1t pictures the
stigator of the fearful war that has
enveloped all of Europe.
Many Americans have read the
booklet issued by the U. s. govern
ment which the authorities called
German War Practices" The pic
ture reveals true facts and furnishes
conclusive evidence that the COM
plants against the German army are
not fancied thoughts but stern real
tiles.
The Kaiser is shown in his true
light. 1t deals with incidents in
the Ii, es of the Belgians from the
time when the world was at peace
to the present. The intervening years
are full of suffering and anguish
dating from the time of the German
invasion of Belgium in their mad
rush for Paris. The Belgian people
from the beginning have suffered the
brunt of the battle. Their homes
have been ruined and their country
devastated
The production closes with the
Kaiser lowering the German flag and
the raising of the allied flags over
the capital at Berlin. The Kaiser is
shown as a prisoner of King Albert
of Belgium. The climax is hardly
in keeping with the balance of the
picture. When the time for victory
comes to the allies, the Kaiser's lot
will be more severe than that por-
trayed in the picture. He will not
be permitted to be a prisoner. He
is going to be compelled to suffer
some of the atrocities he is inflict
ing on an innocent people. May it
be said that his most peaceful end
would be "SHOT AT SUNRISE"
At any rate the picture brings out
some thrilling scenes. There are
Kisses for the Kaiser and cheers for
the American and allied forces and
officers. The sight of Old Glory is
the occasion for frequent and pro-
longed applause.

NATURALIZATION OF SOLDIERS

Clerk of the District Court John
HOrning Monday received a notice
from the naturalization department
that a law was passed by congress
on May 8, 1918, whereby full Amer
lean citizenship would be granted to
all aliens entering the United States
army or navy. The department
promised to furnish copy of this
new law as soon as possible.
The notice stated that all aliens
enrolled in the military service of
the United States may be immediate
ly naturalized, upon compliance with
certain prescribed conditions 1t is
estimated that there are at the pres
ent time more than one hundred
thousand who have taken out only
their first papers. Numerous in
quiries have been made of late by
those contemplating entering the
service il it were possible to COM
plete their naturalization. The new
law passed covers these situations
completely. AS soon as copy of
the new law is received we will give
a brief outline of same.

date will be announced soon.
1t is planned to have the great

1t will be bathed in flood of white
light, directed upon it by an illuminat-

installed in the Capitol grounds,
which makes the Goddess of Liberty
shine out in all her glory.

BONDS FOR CHURCH
CONGREGATION DONATES LARGE
AMOUNT TO PAY OFF DEBT
ON CHURCH.

Contributions in the form of Lib
erty bonds and War Savings stamps,
totaling more than $4,000 were made
by members of St. Francis Xavier's
Church in Council Bluffs, Iowa, last
Sunday for the purpose of paying off
the church debt.
At single Mass on Sunday more
than 1000 in bonds and Stamps was
raised. Previous contribution S
amounted to $4,000 The total church
debt is approximately $4,000, but it
is expected that the balance Of $4,000
will be contributed next Sunday.
E. A. Wickham, besides buying
bonds for the church, offered to fres-
coe the interior of the church free of
charge if $4,000 was raised. In adj
dition, he will decorate the affairs
when the $4,000 mark is reached
The bonds and stamps will be held
by the church, and the interest they
draw will go to defray the interest on
the mortgage against the church
property When the bonds mature
they will be cashed and the debt paid
but in the meantime the church has
the satisfaction of knowing that the
collateral is on hand to offset the
mortgage.
