The United States Civil Service
Commission has announced an exam
ination for the county of Audubon,
Iowa. to be held at Audubon on
Oct. 20, 1918, to fill the position of
rural carrier at Audubon and Bray
ton, and vacancies that may later
occur on rural routes from other post
offices in the aforementioned coun-
ty. The examination will be open
only to male citizens who are actu-
ally domiciled in the territory of a
post office in the county and who
meet the other requirements set
forth in Form No. 1877. This form
and application blanks may be OBJ
tanned from the offices mentioned
above or from the United States
Civil Service Commission at Wash
ington, ID. C. Applications should
be forwarded to the commission at
Washington at the earliest practical
BILE date.
During the continuance of the
present war the comission will, in
accordance with the request of the
post office department, admit women
to rural carrier examination upon the
same conditions as men.
By direction of the Comission:

LAYING HENS CAN BE PICKED.

Now is the time to keep the
Stacker hens out of the farm flock,
says the poultrymen at Iowa State
College Even if the flock was given
good culling in August or Sep
TENDER. it should be watched now for
the hen that is loafing on the job.
The biddy that stops laying begins
to get fat. So it is an easy matter to
discover her.
The fat is especially noticeable in
examining the pelvic bones, the two
bones which can be felt as points on
either side of the vent. When the
hen is laying, these bones are COM
paratively thin and flexible. When
she is not laying, they feel thicker
and less flexible, due to the fat
which has accumulated.
The spread or distance apart of
these pelvic bones is also 4 valuable
indication of whether or not the hen
is laying. When laying. they are
wider apart than when not laying.
The spread can be roughly measured
for practical purposes by determin-
ing how many fingers can be laid
between the bones.
If the spread measures two fingers
or less, the probabilities are that the
hen is not laying. while if the spread
is greater. she is probably laying. In
measuring this spread the size of the
hens of different breeds, with the
corresponding natural difference in
the spread must be kept in mind.
If there is a spread of less than
three fingers in the smaller breeds
and four fingers in the larger breeds
between the rear end of the keel to
the pelvic bones, or if the abdomen
is hard instead of soft and flexible.
the chances are the hen is not laying.

NEXT DRAFT WILL BE LARGE.

Classification by local boards of
men of the new draft registration
has been so rapid that missionaries
soon will be sent to youths of Is and
men between 81 and 46 years old
With their enrolment, the work de-
scribed by Provost Marshall General
Crowder the classification of the
United States" will be complete.
Reports show that 555 local boards
out of 4,543 in the United States had
classified all registrants between 10
and 81.
Influenza epidemic conditions are
such, in the opinion of the general
staff as to continue the indefinite
suspension of the October draft calls,
but ii is intimated that the next call
will be of unusually large proper
tions.
Under new regulations men fit for
general service are to be noted as
class A pen on military records.
while men fit for such service if
cured by treatment are to be noted
as class b. Below these are estab-
lished class CT in which men fit for
general limited service" which is
defined as being in the service of
supplies overseas, or in general serv-
ice within the United States; and
class CO to certain men fit only for
restricted duty within the United
States in capacity approved by medi-
cal officers. Class ID is for men I'M
fit for any service.

FROM WAR DEPARTMENT.

Chicago, Oct. 9th 1918.
w. G. Wilson, Branch Chairman,
Audubon. Iowa.
The undersigned were in Washing
ton last week and arranged TO assist
the Motor Transport Corps in their
difficult problem of securing 10000
mechanics for induction before mid
night Oct. 27. 1t is vital for our
armies to have the Motor Transports
in perfect repair. We were told this
story by an officer of the corps: Ger
tain American troops having ex-
hausted all their ammunition. the
Germans placed barrage behind
them. The motor transport corps
was called upon for volunteers to
bring up ammunition through the
barrage. 1t meant certain death for
many. but drivers for 80 cars volun-
teered. Only 80 cars came through
the barrage bringing the ammuni-
ton that saved the lives of thousands
of our boys. 1t is up to the branch
chairman of this association to pro-
vide the men to repair and keep the
motor transports ready for such
emergencies.
If the man is deemed qualified for
the motor transport corps, his in
duction will be arranged in the short
est possible time.
Particular Call: Special emphasis
should be given to securing
ksmiths-capable of spring
making; carpenters, all kinds; chauf-
feurs, Ford and light car drivers,
heavy and light truck drivers; ma
chinist, tool room; machinist, gener-
al; motor repairer or driver; platter
electros. radiator repairer, road test
er. trouble shooters tauto) truck
master. welder.
Urgency: The urgency of this call
cannot be over-estimated. IL would
not be made if it were not impera-
tive to get the men over them and
send them to France in a shorter
time than would be possible If the
transport corps waited for the men
to be drafted, sent TO the depot bat
talions and sifted out there.

THE KAIsERIsTIC MIR. CREEL.

Because there were some appar-
ent discrepancies in the dates of
some of the documents submitted by
George Creel in his presentation of
evidence of German control of the
bolsheviki movement in Russia, the
New York Evening Post expressed
doubt as to the authenticity of the
documents. Taking the editor of the
Post to task, Mr.. Creel says that the
Post arraigned the good faith OF the
government. There We have the
Creelian and usual democratic view
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1918-10-17
TOWNS SHOULD STORE WOOD.

Every town in Iowa should ac-
cumulate a reserve supply of wood
for use as fuel this winter in case of
a possible coal famine says Prof. G.
b. Macdonald of the forestry depart
ment at Iowa State College, who has
been cooperating with Charles Web
ster. state fuel administrator, in the
campaign to have 100000 cords of
wood cut this year that will save l.
100000 tolls of coal.
Surplus wood from the farm
wood lots should be hauled to town
and stored there for sale. Local coal
yards or lumber yards could handle
this wood for a reasonable profit A
better plan would be to have mu-
nicipal wood yards established and
controlled by the towns. Under this
plan, the woodlot owner would de-
liver the wood in four-foot legths to
the municipal yard, where it would
be measured and paid for according
to a regular schedule of prices.

of criticism of the acts of public Of
ficials. If you say anything that
| reflects upon the conduct of any in
dividual representative. you are ar
raigning the good faith of the gov
ernmept. These petty officials can
not distinguish between themselves
and the government. Mr.. Creel says
that the Post refused to accept the
evidence put forward by the govern
| ment, but, demanded that the gov
eminent should take the witness
stand and reiterate its proof" All
of which is manifestly ridiculous.
Not only the editor of the Post
but all the rest of the people of the
/ country will remember the time few
months back when Mr.. Creel "elabo-
rated" the report of the fight with
submarines, and also the time when
ne sent out pictures of airplanes that
gave false impression to the coun-
try regarding our airpIane progress.
In criticising Mr.. Creel's admitted err
/ rors in those instances, was any one
arraigning the government? Not in
| the least. They were arraigning
Creel. Thanks to the founders of
this nation, there is vast difference
between the government and Mr..
J Creel. In this country we have gov
eminent of the people, for the people,
by the people. No one can attack the
government unless he attacks the
people. No one can attack the peo-
pie without attacking the govern
ment.
II is different in Germany. There
the kaiser is the government, and
the government is the kaiser. You
can't criticise the kaiser without crit
icizing the government, and you can't
criticize the government without
criticizing the kaiser. We have no
such system here and hope we never
shall. But Mr.. Creel's viewpoint
tends in that direction. His assump-
ton that when the Post questions
the authenticity of documents that he
has submitted for perusal by the peo-
pie, it is arraigning the government,
is an assumption that he is the gov
eminent. If that is not true, let's
have MIR. Creel's analysis of his state
| ment that the Post arraigned the
good faith of the government

Senator" Claims
Ford Is Worst of
The Pr0fjteerS

Washingtong Sept. 2.-Profits Of
the meat packers and of Henry
Ford's automobile business were
compared by Sen. Sherman of I'LL
nois Saturday in addressing the
senate in criticism of the federal
trade commissions recent report
cohdemning the packers as mon
oply making excessive profits Of
packers are limited by the food adj
ministration to 0 per cent, Sen.
Sherman said, while profits of Ford's
company in 1916 were 29.5 per cent.
IF the packers had made such
profits" he added, the trade COM
mission would have been speechless
with Indignation"
Referring to Mr., Fords recent an
nouncement that he would return to
the government 100000 900 of profits
on recent war orders, Sen. Sherman
said 1t would help undo what he
did as a pacifst before the war, but
that promise might better have been
made before Mr.. Ford became a can
didate for the United States senate I"
He declared Mr.. Ford's 20 year old
son had been kept from military
service because he was jndispenB-
able to the management.
Sen. Sherman continued his at
tack, saying some of Mr.. Ford's
former pacifist associates are under
bonds or in jail and asking why
send Haywood to the penitentiary
and elect Ford to the senator"
