AUDUBON BOYS HAVE
LANDED IN ENGLAND

Word reached Audubon yesterday
that John Rutherford, who is enlist
ed in the U. s. army, arrived safely
in England. A cablegram was sent
to his parents who communicated
the news to Dr. Fulton. John says
he Is feeling fine but glad to be on
land instead of water. How many
of the other Audubon county boys
are with him we did not learn, but
we presume there were others on
the same ship with him. Everybody
here is glad to know that the voy-
age was a safe one.

UNDERSTANDING EACH OTHER

War surely pulls people together,
and its effects in better understand
ing among business men are already
so plain that If peace comes tomor-
row the new cooperative measures
adopted by so many of our indus
tries and trades the last six months
would go far toward paying the enor-
nous war outlay to date
All the cooperation now existing
and planned between manufacturers
is recognized by labor to be ineffect-
i've without its whole hearted sup
port and every day is strengthening
the growth of new spirit among
American working men.-lndustrial

WHO Is THE EMPLOYER

Manufactures or contractors or
those who undertake the production
of anything that the market demands
are almost invariably considered the
employers. This is erroneous. They
are simply the directors of the indus
try and are themselves employees of
those who desire the product.
These directors engage the services
of other employees manual work
ers. etc. in behalf Of the purchaser
of the product. The purchasers are,
therefore, the real employers. The
directors and the workers are act
ually fellow craftsmen engaged in a
common service.-Industrial Conser-

The above telegram was received
by j. H. Ross who is chairman of
the War Savings Stamp drive in Au-
dubon county. 1t was hoped that on
last Friday when between the hours
of three and six o'clock every person
in the county was asked to go to the
school houses in each of the towns
and townships, to make applications
for War Savings Stamps in an
amount sufficient to meet the quota
of $253,420, would be met. While
the drive did not bring the amount
required, yet good showing was
made.
The twelve townships of the
county purchased stamps to the
amount of s191,0S0, which added to
the $4,000 previously sold makes a
total of $231,0S0, or only $22,340
less than the required amount. With
the additional time given to COM
plete the drive this week, it is ex-
pected that the full amount will be
raised by Saturday night.
Sharon and Oakfield townships
are the only two in the county that
exceeded their quota. They are to
be congratulated for their splendid
showing. Following is the amount
reported to Mr. Ross from each Of
tha townsbins.

SUICIDE RATHER
THAN GO TO WAR

Carl Hansen, one of the quota of
thirteen registered men leaving
Shelby county last night for Jeffer-
son Barracks, st. Louis, Mo, was
found dead with a revolver by his
side in Harlan feed barn by en-
ployes.
He is believed to have shot him
self. He is son of Ludwig Hansen
of Honey Creek, Ia, but had been
working on farms in Shelby county
since prior to the registration. His
motive is not clear, as he tried to en-
list in the navy but was turned down
for lack of physical fitness for that
branch of the service. and was de-
ferred from previous quota be-
cause he wished to go with a chum.

Do It Now, Unless
BY RUTH CAMERON


Upton Next Thursday-BaII Game
 Some years ago. wave of motto hanging engulfed the business world.
 Business men of all classes hung notices of various import over their desks. One favorite was, Be Brief. We have our living to earn and It takes most of our time to do it." An other, Do it now"
 Within the last few years, a per tincnt addition has been made to that second motto-namely:
 "Unless you have something more important to do tirst.'
 Just As a Son Would Have
 I thought of this amended motto. the other day, when a young woman who has gone into business with her father, just as d son would have. and who as her father grows older car- ries an increasing share of the busi- ness on her shoulders, just as son would, was telling me about her work.
 ."One of the hardest things, to me, she said. lis not to let the small thing which is near at hand take pre- cedence of the larger, more impor- tant thing, which doesn't happen to be staring me in the face at the min ute.
 The Days Mail Is Not Always the
 Most Important Thing.
 For instance" she went on, q am apt to think l must answer the days mail as soon as it is laid on my desk, so as to get it out of the way, while all the time there may be some tangle upstairs in the work room which is really much more impor- tant. It is only because the letters are near at hand. that I attend to them first
 Is there not with all of us, not only in business but in the business of daily life, a, tendency to do the thing that is near at hand. even when it is not the most important or most worthwhile?
 Following the Line of Least Resist
 ance in Friendship.
 We accept the friends, for instance, that circumstances have made most easy to get at, those whom we hap pen to meet in our daily routine or whose homes are most accessible, in stead of making the extra. effort re- Quired to keep in touch with the people whose personalities really mean the most to us.
 We hear about some specially worthwhile book and fully intend to read it. but find ourselves, instead, spending our time for reading on the magazines and books that happen to be near at hand
 There are, of course, natures that need such admonitions as, DO it now" or the older: Do the thing that's nearest, though it's hard the whiles' but I think there are quite as many that need to be reminded to look beyond the thing that is near at hand and nt< let mere neafness ob- scure and dstort true vallss.

CHAPLIN AT FOX'S
 IN "A DOGS LIFE

AS bystander remarked upon hearing the shrieks of laughter ema- mating from Fox's theater last eve- ming, That sounds as if Chaplin was On"; Chaplin was on. and never has an audience laughed as loud or as hearty as they did over the trials and troubles of Charlie and his dog Scraps in his latest three reel com edy "A Dogs Lfe,' which com menced a three days engagement at Fox's theater.
 There arc several things that go to make "A Dogs Life" the greatest comedy that Charlie Chaplin has ever produced He does not strive for a laugh in every scene" If there are laughs in every scene they grow less riotous with every scene Chaplin, as capable a producer as he is a comedian, knows the value of his high lights and bridges from one to another with the skill of a drama tSt.
 Chaplin's gags include some of the most original comedy tricks ever perpetrated on the screen His first bit of nonsense. lodging the cop by rolling back and forth underneath the fence, introduces a new style of chase that caused a riot of laughter at last evenings performance. But the laughs were loudest when he walks into the cafe where no dogs are allowed, with the pet canine se- creted in his trousers. The secret. however, was not kept by the dog. Her tail found a hole in Charlie's trousers, and the spectacle of the comedian strolling across the floor with the little white tail wagging for dear life was side-splitting. It is these things which go to make "A Dogs Life'' the best comedy ever made. It will be repeated at Fox's today and tomorrow, Francis x. Bushman and Beverly Bayne in brilliant comedy drama With Neat
