PROMINENT SPEAKER
IS COMING HERE
REV. ORTIZ ONE OF THE GREAT
PATRIOTIC SPEAKERS TO BE
IN AUDUBON SUNDAY

Through the bureau of the state
council of defense arrangements
have been made for rousing patri-
otto address in Audubon Sunday ev-
ening at 1880. The speaker is to
be Rev. Orth, formerly pastor of the
Guthrie Center Presbyterian church
but now sent to all parts of the
country by the state department.
Rev. Orth spoke at Gray several
weeks ago, and many who heard him
then were anxious to have him
speak in this city. Mr.. Wilson who
has charge of the dating for Mr..
Orth wrote to parties in this city
to sec if Sunday, August 25th would
be an acceptable date. After con-
sulting a number of our people it
was decided to accept the date, and
VIZ d to that effect was Immediately
~ to Des Moines.
.ev Orth is German born, but
4 American citizen. He, hasgrela-
yes fighting in the German army.
! te also has two sons who ere Amer
lcan citizens and fighting in France.
Rev. Orth has a wonderful message
of the under handed schemes Ger
many tried to play in this country
by aiming to secure German born
Americans to turn spies and traitors
When they accosted Rev Ortiz on
the subject. the Kaiser approached
the wrong man. He has much IN
side information that will be of in
terest to every American citizen.
1t is hoped that a large crowd will
be out to hear this distinguished
gentleman who is doing such splen-
did work for the state and nation.
1t has been arranged to hold the
meeting in the park if the weather
will permit. Should the weather
be threatening the meeting will be
held in the Methodist Church. AS
we understand it this will be in the
nature of a union meeting and there
will be no services that evening at
any of the other churches in the city.
SCHOOL TO OPEN SEPTEMBER o
Because of the need of the help
of some of the students the Board OF
Education has definitely decided to
postpone the opening OF school to
the mint of September.
The buildings are in good condf-
ton, splendid faculty has been Sc
cured and the enrolment promises
to be the largest in the history Of
the school.
1t is a part of the policy of The
Government towards all persons of
school age whether in high school or
in college to encourage those persons
to complete their education. The
period of the war to follow if it con-
Adx tod
folks for official positions If the
war should end they will be needed
as badly to aid in the great problem
of reconstruction. The one who
can prepare himself for responsible
Ny and refuses is a Stacker because
he is not preparing to give to the ma
ton his best efforts.
Copies of the course of study are
being mailed to students so that they
may plan their work for the year.
Some have made inquiry about Mod
ern languages. We are planning to
offer French or Spanish If a large
enough class in one of them can be
formed. Also classes in bookkeep-
ing and comercial law will be form
ed If the demand is sufficient Stu
dents wishing help in planning their
work may see us in the office before
the opening of school or may con-
suit members of the faculty at the
time of the opening of school. The
office will be open to students near
ly all of the week before the open
ing of school except on Saturday
which will be given over to the
teachers.
Graduates of rural schools will be
mailed courses of study on request
Have your entrance certificate prop
erly filled and bring it with you the
first day.
Patrons who wish to room or
board teachers or students will do
we'll to notify us by phone as inquiry
will be made at the office. Some
students desire to do work to pay
for all or part Of their room and
board. Any persons thus interested
In aiding students to get their
schooling and at the same time have
help at home or in their place of bus
mess should notify the Superintend-
emit.
Enter school the first day if you
can. A good beginning saves lots
Of hard work. If you can not start
at once see what arrangements can
be made toward mapping out a
course to fit your needs.
