SATURDAY DEMONSTRATION.

Saturday night witnessed another
big patriotic demonstration in Audi
bon. About IL o'clock The Repub-
lican issued a war bulletin giving
the news as given by the Associated
Press dispatches. The church bells
were brought into use and also the
whistle at the light plant. The band
was out and gave a concert on the
streets and Rev. Proctor was called
upon to make patriotic address.
In his talk he must have voiced the
sentiment of the hundreds present,
for they gave him applause after ap-
plause. Following the talk they gave
three cheers for the reverend gen.
tleman.
Within a half hour after receiving
the news, The Republican had its war
bulletin out on the street and imme-
diately a number of them were sent
to Extra, Kimballton, Elk Horn,
Hamlin. Gray and Manning where a
number of autos went to help the
citizens celebrate. The crowds re-
NAMED on the streets of Audubon
until almost 2 o'clock The follow
ing Associated Press dispatch which
was also printed in the Sunday pa
pers was given in our ir bulletin:

DISTRICT COURT IN SESSION.

The Audubon County District
Court convened in this city Tuesday
morning with Judge Culison, of Har-
Ian presiding. There is no petit jury
for this term of court so that all
cases tried at this term will be tried
before the judge such as equity and
probate cases. II was though best
not to call jury at this time on
account of the scarcity of farm labor
and the necessity of farmers remain
ing at home to look after corn pick
ing and other necessary farm work
The grand jury began its deliber-
ations Tuesday morning and up to
the hour of going to press were still
in session. This is the first time that
the grand jury has remained in ses-
sion over "a hours and it may be that
they will return several indictments
before they adjourn, but these can
not be made public until the neces-
sary arrests have been made.

filled her quota in the Fourth Lib

about $4,000 of reaching the

the full quota will be reached.
Throughout the nation the loan
has been tagging. The reports this
morning are to the effect that only
about one-half of the required
amount had been raised. Some large
subscriptions are likely to come in
at the last moment to help swell the

Epidemic UNDER
CONTROL AT s. u. i.

Immediate and effective action In
preventing thes pread of influenza
has forestalled the need of closing the
University of Iowa although some in
situations have been compelled to
abandon activity.
The presence of the state health
laboratories, University hospital. and
corps of military and medical Of
ficials has made the percentage of
cases and their comparative severity
much less than in the ordinary Iowa
city, physicians declare.
The University campus is under
strict military guard, and no stu
dent or faculty member can be ad-
mitted without pass. Each stu
dent, administrative official. and in
structor has been given physical
examination. and all cases of incipi-
ent influenza or suspects are isolated
Persons with bad colds who are liable
to develop influenza have also been
isolated in different quarters.
Quarantine S. A. T.. G.

officers is in charge of the campaign
to prevent the spread of the disease.
Daily press notices and lectures are
given all students in regard to phys
ical hygiene. Students in the medi-
cal colleges work with patients in IL
hour shifts day and night, and in
only three or four instances out of
more than 500 real cases and sus-
poets has pneumonia followed.

I Wear Gauze Masks.
al students who appear to have
colds are reported to the University

Gauze masks are worn by each per-

Ample accommodations for isola-

GINS CLOSE DOWN
FOR ELEVEN DAYS
LABOR SHORTAGE AND iNABlL-
ITY OF OIL MILLS TO WORK
SURPLUS SEED CAUSE OF CON.
SERVATION MOVE.

j. NJ. Hewitt, food administrator
for Lee county. yesterday received
orders from Hamp Williams. state
food administrators, to order all the
gins in Lee county to suspend gin.
ming operations at once and remain
closed until November IL. The cause
of this order Is the inability of the
oil mills to work up the large guam
tity of cotton seed now on hand, be-
cause of the serious labor shortage.
To continue the storage of cotton
seed would entail very serious loss
because the seed gets damp and rots.
The only way to prevent this loss Is
to stop the ginning until the mills
are able to clear their seed houses
and make room for additional ship
ments. II has been known for two
weeks that drastic measures of this
kind would be necessary unless there
was an improvement in the labor sit
uation. The hoped for relief has not
come, consequently the food admin
istrator, in the interest OF conserva-
tion of the cotton seed products, has
ordered temporary suspension in
ginning operations.

SENATOR ROBERTSON
PROPOSES ECONOMY
OFFERS RESOLUTION BEFORE
QUORUM COURT TO PLACE
TREASURER AND TAX COLLECT
OR ON SALARY BASIS.

AT the meeting of the quorum
court Monday afternoon Senator ]. T.
Robertson submitted to the members
of the court resolution asking the
state senator from this district and
the two members of the house of rep
recentatives to pass a bill placing the
treasurer of Lee county on an annual
salary of $500 and to allow the
sheriff and collector $500 a year
for his compensation for collecting
taxes. Senator Robertson supported
the resolution in an address to the
members of the court in which he
urged economy during war times, and
stating there would be no difficulty
In getting competent men to accept
the offices of treasurer and sheriff
and collector at the salaries suggest
ed in his resolution. Senator w. l..
Ward made a short address In which
he opposed the resolution, and Arthur
Cotter, sheriff and collector, submit
ted various cost items showing either
no source of profit to the sheriff or
an absolute loss.
One magistrate moved to reject the
resolution, but in lieu of this it was
laid on the table. The resolution
follows:
Whereas the burden of the tax
payer is increasing year by year and
especially so at this time and will
continue to on account of the great
world conflict, and
Whereas, we, the quorum court of
Lee county feel 1t our duty to make
such recommendations for legislation
that would reduce the burden of our
taxes or conserve them for other and
necessary purposes, such as road
and bridge building, and
, Whereas, on account of our excel
lent banking system and depository
laws make it good business policy to
have such legislation that would re-
duce the pay of the county treasurer
and the collector of taxes. therefore
be it
4 Resolved, that this quorum court
request and urge our state senator
and representatives to prepare and
pass bill in the next general assem-
bly, fixing the salary of the county
treasurer at $500 per annum, and so
reduce the collectors fee that the
sheriff as ex-officio collector would
receive in fees as such collector
not more than $1,000 per annum.
The said law to take effect at the
end of their terms of office in 1920.
We believe that the county would
have the same efficient service at a
saving of about six thousand dollars
to the tax payer each year
