PAPER DESIRES TO
MAKE A CORRECTION
Offers an Apology to +. w. Johansen
Former Superintendent OF Our
Schools For Article Pub
lished

| The Republican wishes at this
time to apologize to Mr.. F. w. Jo-
hansen, former superintendent of
schools here, for certain statements
which we made in our issue of Dec
ember Goth last. Just recently we
have obtained further information
relating to this matter. The follow
| ing item relating to Mr.. Johansen
appeared in our issue above refer
red to:
| Eve are informed by the county
officials that he was in the office of
/ the adjutant general in Des Moines
/ trying for an exemption up to the
very last minute. General Logan
notified the officials here to arrest
/ him as a deserter if he failed to
appear"
Although at that time we did not
doubt the source of our information
| in writing this item, we find now
that the above statements are abso-
lutely false. 1t is serious matter,
especially in war time, to make
statements such as the above: and
we regret not only that we have re-
peated them, but also the way in
which we made them.
In letter dated March 5th, 1918,
Adjutant General Guy Z. Logan
makes the statement that he did not
direct the Audubon Board to arrest
Mr.. Johansen, and explains further
, that he has no power to make such
orders. Copies of correspondence
now in the hands of Mr.. Johansen's
friends here in the city, throw lot
! OF light on the matter of his e3.
lemption. When his papers had by
mistake reached the Southern Dis
4 trict Board, Mr.. n. ID. Ely, chairman
of that board, notified Mr.. Johansen
personally on September 5, 1917,
/ that his papers We're being sent to
the Northern District Board at Wat
erloo, Cherokee county, which has
jurisdiction over him, belonging to
| the northern district. Mr.. Ely also
wrote to the Northern District Board
! on September 25th, that Mr.. johann
sens file had been sent to Waterloo,
under date of September 18th. Be-
| cause of this correspondence, and
further because of the formal trans
| fer of his case to the Cherokee board
in August, Mr.. Johansen had every
reason TO think that his case was
settled when the Cherokee Board di-
rected him 10 appear before them
| and when they exempted him. He
was not trying for an exemption up
to the very last minute" when he
went to General Logan's office be-
cause he had already been exempted
| by the board which had jurisdic-
| ton over him. He was trying mere
! ly to get the matter settled. When
toward the latter part of January.
| the local board here again took IN
| the matter, he went to Camp Dodge
even though he had an exemption,
bus tbs military autlorisiCs de-
charged him on the grounds that
the Audubon board had no jurisdic-
ton over him.
In view of cur erroneous state
ments we are glad to make the above
explanation. We regret very much
our having put the matter in such
wrong light in our December issue.

AUDUBON COUNTY EOYS
Eyerett. NNash.. Marcl

Everett, Wash. March 5. 1918
To Our Iowa Friends:
There are about five hundred for
mer Iowans living in Everett who
would be more than pleased 10 take
any of the boys now stationed on the
Coast, for the week and revive mem
cries of the folks back home"
These five hundred Everett Iowans
represent nearly every county in
Iowa
Should you have friends or should
some of your friends have boys here
their Iowa residence. then we will
do the rest.
The forts are only from twenty to
forty miles 'as the crow flies" dis
tapt from Everett. We understand
that there are now about six hun
dred Iowa boys at the Forts.
There were not enough Iowa boys
to go around and quite few Ev-
erett Iowans were disappointed in
not having as their guests soldier
boys from the state OF Iowa"
The above letter was sent out by
the citizens of Everett, Wash, after
they had entertained about one hun
dred twenty five Iowa soldier boys
on Saturday evening and Sunday,
March End and 3rd.

county boys stationed at the Forts
in Washington, should send the
boys name present address and his

TO BEaUTIry CITY PARK

A. j. Smith. special representative
for Holm G Olson. landscape archi-
tects of St. Paul. Mimi, was in the
city last week doing some work for
private residents. In conversation
with the gentleman he informed us
that he had made arrangements with
the Commercial Club to prepare a
plan for the Identification Of our
park which he would submit to them
for their APPROVAL or disapproval. 1t
viii consist in the planting of flowers
shrubbery and in the laying out of
fine sidewalks. etc. This work was
done at no expense whatever to the
Commercial Club. Mr.. Smith in.
formed us that the plan which he
would submit, if accepted. would
place our park in beautiful shape.
and he did not think the work would
cost over $500 and probably Uot
more than $3.50 The idea is good
one and we hope the Commercial
Club will see fit to make the i'm

MAN PLAYED BALL
HERE WITH OUR BOYS

C A. Caldwell received clipping
from Holton, Kansas, last week that
gave him the information concern
ing the death of Lou Stonebraker,
who during 1914 and 1915 worked
for him on teh farm. He was quite
base ball player, and during both
summers played with the Audubon
team. His friends here will be
panied to learn of his death. The
following clipping is taken from the
Holton paper:
"On Monday evening as the sun
was sinking to rest TAPS" was
sounded for Lou Stonebraker, a
member of Co. B and Circleville
boy, who passed from this world to
the world beyond Sunday night,
having lived only "a short years.
Louis leaves many friends to mourn
his untimely departure for he will
be greatly missed. He was genial
companion. a loving and dutiful son
and great favorite with little
children. The sympathy of the COM
munity goes out to the stricken
father, mother and brothers.

BOY DIES AT GRAY

The funeral of Russell Thomas
Murphy. the young son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Fl. Murphy of Gray, was
held at Irwin Sunday afternoon,
March 10th in the Methodist church,
Rev. Claude B. Cook of Gray, as
sisted by Rev. r. c. Buchanan, pas
tor of the Irwin church. and Rev.
Benz. Farrell, also of Irwin. Inter
ment was in the Irwin cemetery.
A short service was held at the
home in Gray Saturday afternoon at
at o'clock, after which the body
was shipped to Irwin on the train.
Russell Thomas Murphy, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank III. Murphy, was
born April 6. 1915 and died March
7th 1918. after an illness of five
days, at the age of two years, eleven
months and one day. The cause of
death was croupus pneumonia.
He leaves to mourn his loss his
father and mother, grandparents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Grant Murphy Of Har-
Ian and Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Bar
rett of Irwin, and a host of other
relatives.
He numbered his friends by his
acquaintance and his going is sadly
mourned by all. His stay here was
brief but the innocency of his life
would have stood the tests of the
years If he should have lived. He
early learned the prayer habit in
sisting each night upon saying his
prayers before retiring. and he dear
ly loved the Sunday school
He was much devoted to his faith
er and mother and had a very low
able disposition which endeared him
to all who knew him.

GIVEN FAREWELL PARTY

a company of invited guests met
at the home of MIR. and Mrs. VIM.
Clark. six miles southeast of Audu-
bon, last Friday evening. to give a
farewell to Mr.. and Mrs. J. H. Parn-
ham. who are to leave the neighbor-
hood sometime soon The evening
was spent in visiting and music. Re-
freshments weS< served later
Mr.. Ralph Thomas, on behalf of
the friends. in a few well chosen
words presented Mr.. and Mrs. Parn-
ham with set of silver spoons, as
token of remembrance. Mr.. and
Mrs. Parnham both responded in a
very touching way, assuring their
friends that they priced the gift very
highly and they would always hold
place in their memory.
Mr.. and Mrs. Parnham are not
yet decided where they will locate,
and VIII spend a couple of months
visiting their children. The best
wishes of their neighbors and friends
will follow them wherever they de-

CITY GARDENS

There is urgent need for the most
efficient backing of the soldier boys
in France and our government at
home by the largest possible food
supply being produced for the year.
The farmers have been urgl-1 over
and over to produce the ma<uum
amount of food crops. The author
tiles in the state OF Iowa have con-
Guided that this obligation is no
more weighty upon the farmer than
any other person and that everyone
should be expected to do his full
share.
The patriotic share of the town
people in this work is to make gar
dens and waste places produce the
maximum. The authorities at Ames
are sending out men to arouse in
terest along these lines. A meeting
was held in Commercial Club rooms
Monday and an organization per-
fected to push the work. Ii is the
desire of the committee that citi-
zens respond in this new duty with
the same enthusiasm that you have
in all other duties towards helping
win this worlds war.
A survey will be made to find out
what lots are to be cultivated by
the owners or those who have them
leased and a special list made of
those lots or parcels of ground that
are available to persons not having
ground to work or who can work
more. The work of making this
survey will doubtless be made by
high school boys. When they come
to you please assist them in every
way thai you can.
There is a grave shortage of seed
for spring planting. 1t is believed
that in many homes extra seeds
more than are needed for that home
may be found and may be made
profitable to the persons having
them and helpful to those without
seed. So a survey of available seeds
will also be made. This work in all
probability will be done by high
school girls. We ask you to look
up in advance the seeds you may
have so as to be able to tell those
girls definitely about the quantity
on hand when they come to your
home.
1t is urged that every available
plat of ground be made to produce
those things that are of high food
value and that We raise as much as
possible of those things that may be
stored for the winter by drying or
in their natural condition. Let's do
our best along these lines so that
the factories may send their pro-
ducts to our soldier boys or to the
aid of our allies.
This is not a child's job but is
one that is mapped out by the state
for the adults. We want the chill
dren also to garden, but this is a
senior garden club.

SCHOOL NOTES

Last Saturday afternoon in the
high school gym there was to have
been another one of those grand re-
unions of the social band of 81. but
on account of the severe weather
during the preceding day. (Which
was all bluff there was only
about half the class present How
ever there were more than enough to
have good time and those who
were there were all in the right
spirit. so the party was not hamp-
cred by the absence of the unfor-
tunate ones who were bluffed by
the weather. Others who were not
members of the class who were also
present We're Mr. McIntire, MIR. Will
liams and Mr.. Laschewski. The re-
freshments were served from boxes,
each girl having brought box con-
tanning a good supply of eats for
two, so there We're no mistakes. and
everybody was served. The Social
Band then dispersed.
