ISN'T ONTO HIS JOB

The devil sat by a lake of fire on pile of sulphur kegs; his head was bowed upon his breast, his tail be- tween his legs, A look of shame was upon his face, the sparks dripped from his eyes; he had just sent his resignation to the throne up in the skies. II am down and out," the devil said, he said it with sob; "there are others who outclass me, and I want to quit the job. He'll isn't in it with the land that lies across the Rhine; I'm a has-been and piker, and therefore 1 resign. One ammunition maker with his bloody shot and shell knows moro about damnation than all the imps in hell. Give my job to the Kaiser Wilhelm, the author of this war; he understands it better a million times by far. I hate to leave+the old home, the spot I love 50 well, but l feel that Pm not up to date in the art of running hell. .'-Ex.

Citizens of Audubon

To the Citizens of Audubon:
Owing 20 the recent controversy
that has arisen between the Iowa,
Light, Heat and Power Company,
with reference to the compensation
to be charged by it for furnishing
electric current to the citizens of Au-
dubon, and taking in consideration
statement recently published in the

in this matter.

KEEP YOuR RONDs.

There is every indication that Lib
erty Loan Bonds, issued during the
war, will greatly rise in value with
the establishment of peace. In 1888
a 500 United States bond, bearing
per cent Interest, sold in the open
market for $3.50. In 1901 1t
brought more than $139. The most
conservative will agree that Liberty
bonds are sure to go above par in
value, now that the Allies have
brought the war to a victorious end
The shrewd and INSCRIPTIONS, the
birds of prey in finance, realize the
worth of Liberty Bonds, and are
using every effort TO secure them
from those who are uniformed in
financial matters. Their favorite
method Is to offer stock in wildcat
mpanies-stock that is absolutely
valueless-in exchange for Liberty
Bonds Some of these get-rich-quick
schemers offer 10 lend their pros
pective victims money, wherewith to
buy the goldbrick stock. taking Lib
erty Bonds as security. This, of
course, is only thinly disguised at

worthless stock.

THANKSGIVING DAY DRIVE.

The big Thanksgiving drive TO sell
the remaining $15,000,000 of Iowa's
quota of War Savings Stamps
started Monday. Preliminary re-
ports indicate that the drive will be
a success here only If every person
in Audubon and Audubon county
respond to the call that has gone out
to save the state of Iowa from the
disgrace of failing to raise the quota
that has been asked of it by the gov
ernment.
Approaching this danger, Cover
nor Harding has issued a proclama-
ton calling on every person in the
state to go on Thanksgiving day and
buy War Savings Stamps to the limit
Of his ability. In every locality in
the state, special arrangements have
been made for the purchase of
stamps on Thanksgiving Day. 1t
will be easy to identify those who
have responded to the call to aid
the state in this crisis. All purch-
asers of stamps during the drive will
be permitted to wear the official
Tag of Honor" which Is awarded to
those who have kept faith with the
government.
Homer A. Miller, state director OF
the campaign. has issued the follow
ing call to the people of the state
to uphold the honor of Iowa:
1T now is up to the people of
Iowa to decide whether they want
1t to be said of them that they failed
10 meet their country's call for help.
The war is over but our work is not
done and will not be done until the
last American soldier Is returned
from France. During the trying
months our boys must yet remain
abroad. they must be clothed and
fed. The money you lend the gov
eminent when you buy stamps Is
used for this very purpose.
"As director of the Iowa War Saw
ings campaign call upon every man,
woman and child In this glorious
state to regard the War Savings
Stamp Thanksgiving Day drive as
an opportunity to express in a way
that counts, the thanks they feel
for the glorious victories that have
come to American and allied arms
during the past year. The boys who
won those brilliant victories kept
faith with US. We dare not break
faith with tlWm. Before you sit
down to your Thanksgiving dinner,
go to your nearest polling place or
other assigned place of purchase and
buy War Savings Stamps to the very
to wear tag of honor" on Thanks
giving Day and do your share to
maintain the honor of Iowa.
