NO NEED OF WAR PLANTS.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.- Major B. A. Franklin, assistant chief of Bridgeport district ordnance depart ment, speaking at meeting in Bridgeport said the war Department will not countenance needless de- lay by plants now doing war work in replacing their military produc- tion with commercial work. The Department, he said, will not pur- sue the policy of immediate cancel lation of contracts, but each factory will be depended upon to cooper ate in meeting the problems that now beset the industry. "War babies," or plants which have been developed strictly for manufacture of war materials, will have to find some new field of enterprise or dis appear.

NEW DEPUTY APPOINTED
IN CLERKS OFFICE

Clerk of the District Court, John
Horning, has announced the appoint
ment of Miss Alma Christensen as
deputy clerk, her duties to begin the
18th of January. Miss Christensen
has been at Rupert, Idaho, the past
year, where she was employed in an
abstracting office. Before leaving
Audubon she was in the employ OF
Chas. Bagley, in the abstracting de-
partment. She is splendid young
woman who has had sufficient ex-
perience to properly conduct the
work Of the office. Her many
friends will be glad to learn that
she Is soon to return to Audubon.
Mr.. Horning has considered the
appointment of a new deputy for
some time. AS soon as Glen Turner
decided to Join the army, he began
to look for a competent person to
take his place. On account of the
war taking the young men out of
the community, it was difficult
matter to find suitable deputy. He
was indeed fortunate in being able
to secure Miss Christensen, and we
are certain that she will render val
liable service in her new position.
L. d. Ross was appointed deputy
about month ago. when Mr.. Turner
left, and he will remain in the
clerks office until Miss Christensen
takes up her duties the 18th of this
month.

Many of the corn producers of Au-
dubon county would be willing to do

inch cup Is offered for the best sam
pie from this county shown at the

10 and 80 ears. These cups can be
won by corn grown in Audubon coun-
ty only. In this way competition Is
limited to a small area, making II
easier for a new man to get started
The trophies are provided by the
Farmers State Bank of Audubon. the
First National Bank of Audubon and
the Landsmands National Bank OF
Kimballton. respectively, and may be
won by a man only once.
In addition to these cups, cash and

OUR WAR VETERANS
WE'RE MUCH PEEVED

Following the incident in Audi
bon last week regarding the Starck'
Tennigkeit affair. some of the large
daily papers of Iowa and other states
published articles to the effect that
q number of our Old Soldiers, and
one especially, had taken part In the
affair. The Veterans of Audubon
wish this corrected. as they say they
do not approve Of such methods as
were used at that time. although they
believe that something should have
been done with them to change
their minds regarding pro-german-
ISM" The only war veteran having
anything to do in the matter was
the City Marshal. Bent Darnold, and
he was there in his official capacity
to see that protection was given to
the culprits.
