ours today. How happy she would

OUR ARMY IN ENGLAND

And then they came, marching in
fours. with their rifles at the slope,
the vanguard Of Uncle Sans army.
And we in Cockspur street raise a
mighty cheer. They were solemn,
bronzed men, loose of limb, hard and
strong, with curious set expression
OF purpose about them.
Tramp, tramp, tramp. tramp.
And they looked neither 10 The
right ncr the left; nor did they look
up or smile or apparently take any
notice of the cheers We raised We
strained forward to see their faces,
and we cried out to them our well
come.
Tramp, tramp, tramp, tramp.
They were not all tall; some were
short and wiry. Some Of the officers
were rather elderly and wore horn
spectacles. But they did not look at
us or raise a smile Of response. They
held themselves erect. but their eyes
were cast down or fixed upon the
back of the man in front of them.
There came an interval, and another
band and then Old Glory once more,
and We cheered the flag even more
than the men. Fully thousand
men passed in this solemn process
sion, not one OF them smiling or
looking up. 1t became almost dis

not used to. A fellow cockney near
me murmured:

HOG FATALITIES
AROUSE APPETITE

There must have been a large
number of violent deaths among the
hog family of late, judging from the
number of hog legs, ribs. backbones
and sausages on the market. The
people here do not violate the gov
ernment's injunction regarding meat
for the portions of meat that the
town man gets are not those parts
that can be stored or shipped. How
ever, those lowly accomplishments
to the stately corn-fed Berkshire are
MOTTO be despised. Baked backbone
and spare ribs, sausages with pan
cakes and one of those fat little
hooks with beans are enough to give
any man Indigestion just to think
about it, leaving out of the question
the matter of partaking thereof.
However, the average citizen figures
he has pay for everything in pro-
portion to the enjoyment he gets out
of it and he expecss to spend this
part of the year. one half in eating
these delicacies and the other half
in repentance for HIS rashness.

There is gentleman in this city

same and finally secured the services

pills and liquid refreshment. He
took some of it but the rheumatics

Disguised with the TACK of impress

all the rest of the pills at one swal-
low and then washed them down
with copious draft of the brown

found him on the floor. About all
there was in the way of bedding was
his night clothes and a sheet. 1t
was cold weather, too. On the bed
were piled the chairs and other fur

asked him for Heavens sake what
was the matter?" All that he could
remember was after taking the big
dose of medicine he had had an
awful fight with big Niger" He

KEEP THE KIDNEYS WE'LL
Health is Worth Saving, and Some
Audubon People Know How to

Many Audubon people take their
lives in their hands by neglecting

may have been born elsewhere in the
empire, but the brutal iron heel Of
the government that has drenched
this whole world in its war for world
power was the same power that made
every German who had little cot
tage or mud hut no matter how poor
he was, to board a German soldier
free of charge. Tha, soldier was the
autocrat of the home. His word was
law. If he punished a child, or
knocked him from chair to the
floor the father must smile. To re-
sent the action of the brutal guest,
who must have the best of every
thing in that house, was to bring
dire punishment upon the head of
that family. There was filled KNAPP
sack hanging upon the wall and
loaded gun in the corner, and when
war did come that soldier, with $50
others, knew just where to run in
order to form a company ready for

ONE SACK OF COAL,

A letter received from a young
lady who resides in Chicago, but who
formerly resided in Audubon, states
that the cold spell has been some
thing to reckon with in Chicago and
that the supply of coal is very lin
tied. One sack is all that the deal
ers will hand out at time and if
you can get two sacks at one trip
you are getting a special favor. In
remarking on the same the young
lady says that the ordinary coal shed

ENTERTAINMENT FOR
our SOLDIER BOYS
Audubon County People Will be
Asked to Purchase "Smileage
Books for the Benefit
of the Boys i'm Camp

A "Smileage Book" is new one.
not only to the people of Audubon,
but to the people of the United
States, and plans for organizing the
state of Iowa for the purpose of
raising a million dollar fund is now
under way. The campaign will be
on all over the United States during
the week of January 2Sth.
Impressed with the very great
need of furnishing clean entertain
ment to the men in camps during
their leisure hours, the War Depart
ment made appropriations for the
building of Liberty Theatres in each
of the National Army camps. With
this theatre many are already famil-
lar. Because there was no approp-
ration made for the maintenance
and operation of these theatres, and
the Liberty Tents in the National
Guard Camps, it is necessary to
charge a small admission fee for
the performances in them.
We are confident that the large
numbers of the men in the camps
will gladly pay this admission for
enjoying the performances. How
ever there are many who might not
be able to afford even a small ad-
mission; and, to make the theatres
and tent available to the largest
number, the plan of issuing coupon
books was hit upon. Coupons of
this Smileage Book are good for adj
mittance to the entertainments. The
hooks are sold, not to the soldiers,
but to the public at large, the idea
being that friends and relatives of
the soldiers will be very glad to
provide them these essentially free
passes to the performances.
One of the fundamental ideas of
the campaign is, addition to financ-
ing the operation of the theatres and
tents, to furnish a means by which
a soldier is held by a personal tie to
his home people, for when a man re-
ceives one of these books, its use be-
comes a continuing reminder to him
of it's giver. Thus the Smileage
Books aim first to finance the oper-
alton of the theatres and tents, and
second to keep unbroken the home
ties of the men in the camps.
1t is hoped that these books will
enable the largest possible number
of soldiers to enjoy the entertain
ments, and it Is also hoped that the
sale of the books will reach the
I1rgest possible number of purchas-
os who will thus nave personal
i crest with the men in the camps.
Smileage is a new word, but II
~arries out the old idea of friendly
ging and is another way of putting
into practice that spirit which work
in camp activities has been shown is
so much needed and so much appre-
ciated

INDIAN REGISTRANT TOO
DRUNK TO GO WITH
CONTINGENT TODAY

Tom Jack, the young Indian who
was to have left with the other reg
istants at 2:40 this morning for
Camp Nichols, and who failed to
appear at train time, was found this
forenoon by Policeman Chancellor
in cider joint on Caddo street.
The Indian was taken to the police
station, where he said he had been
very drunk and was unable to get
to the train. Asked where he got
his whisky. he said he had been
drinking "choc." He did not know
where he got it, but finally said,
lots of places"
Policeman Chancellor was of the
opinion that he had been drinking
cider, such as is sold here in sew
eral places. 1t is said this so-called
cider will stand an analysis and
there be no alcohol disclosed, but
that it will produce intoxication to
degree verging on insanity, is
known to every officer who has had
to tussle with cider drunk"
Whoever sold this cider, or 9th
er drink, to the Indian, is up against
the law in many ways. He is liable
under the general law for selling
intoxicants, selling to an Indian,
and the further and more serious
oftense of selling intoxicating liquor
to soldier for this Indian was,
to all intents and purposes, in the
service of the United States after
he had been checked in by the local
exemption board yesterday.
