OUR TRUST

One year ago we pledged our Sa-
cred honor and the lives of this ma
tons brave youth to make this
world safe for democracy a place
where Righteousness and truth may
dwell together. where human rights
and justice shall prevail.
Now, while our men are facing
the German guns, We who remain
behind have each duty to perform.
1t is our sacred trust to make de
mocracy safe for the world"
Humanity has won i.s suit" cried
Lafayette at the close of the Revo-
luton. The cry must be re-echoed
when Prussianism is banished from
the earth. But it can only be re-
echoed truthfully if we have done our
part to guard the interests of hui
manity. Let us remember that
Eternal vigilance is the price of
Liberty" Let us watch for the
traitor who is sowing dissension, let
us deal with the mischief maker and
the spreader of enemy propaganda
as he deserves; let us beware of the
insiduous poison in the press which
is stirring up a class hatred, push
ing the plans of politicians, and in
the name of Pacifism aiding the
cause of Germany.
The enemy within our gates" he
slumbers not nor sleeps, and he
would disrupt our industries and set
up the red flag of anarchy in its
place, which has brought ruin to
the Russians. Those that would
give us license instead of liberty. are
working to undermine our institu-
tions and to inculcate in the feeble
minds and evil minds, the gospel of
lawlessness and strife such as are
being spread by members of the l.
w. w. and kindred workers of in
EQUITY.
To make democracy safe for the
world means fighting behind our
fighters: fighting for the truth and
efficiency; demanding that only the
biggest men control our great war
enterprises; demanding that politics
be put aside: demanding that the
dsloyal efforts of labor to delay
swift results be summarily dealt
with. And that the work of alien
enemys to disrupt and destroy be
visited with the severity which it
deserves.
If we do not. before it is too late,
make our democracy safe for the
world then we may look for such
results as France saw in the Com
mune, and Russia is today Witness
ing. A state of anarchy has been
defined as follows:
Liberty means-I can do as /
choose; equality am better than
you; fraternity-wha is yours is
mine if want it," Let us keep our
democracy safe from the realization
of such a menace. and put our ma
tional house in order to await the
return of our brave boys from over
the seas.

THE PREGNANT TRUTH

There is a great deal of truth that
we must not let go by us. You are
apt to push out your chest, | know,
and say, Impossible" Let me tell
you that the last three years have
been crowded with achievements of
the impossible! Here is the preg-
nant truth: IF WE LET GERMANY
WIN OVER THERE, GERMANY
WILL CARRY THE CONQUEST
OVER HERE. 1t is part of her
colossal plan. Else why this elab-
crate spy system in America? Man,
it is more complete than the organi-
cation of our own government! If
they come, of course we are wiling to
die for our country, which is noble
and brave, but what of our women
folk? There lies the reddest He'll of
the war, brother. Remeber the un-
speakable violation OF Belgium
And remember it, we who have
not gone to France, should do our
part to plant such crops as We never
before planted, to support as we new
err before supported such movements
as the Liberty Loan, the Red Cross,
and to suppress German propaganda.
Selah, and Amen. Go to it, Amer
lean!

CHANGE IN RAILWAY SERVICE

Officials of the Northwestern rail-
way company were in the city the
fore part of the week looking over
local conditions and making prepar-
ations to comply with the govern
ment to curtail railway service. On
June End all railroads in the west
will take off several of their trains,
not only on the main lines, but on
many of the branches.
The talk here is that the North
western will run their trains from
Carroll via Audubon to Atlantic. and
that the company will close their
own station and use the Rock Island
station as a union depot. All Rock
Island trains will be withdrawn from
the branch.
These reports are quite authentic
though not official. Some changes
and alterations may be made from
the original plans, and until the
schedule has been issued not even
the employees of either the Rock Is
land or Northwestern systems will
know Just exactly what changes are
to be made. II is safe to predict
however. that the change will be of
material benefit to Audubon, as we
will then have connection with no
less than three main lines.

MANY ATTRACTIVE
DISPLAY WINDOWS

There are many attractive dis
play windows in the city this week.
In each of them is touch of decor
alton that bears on the work of the
Red Cross, all of which is to give
the public an insight of the great
work that this organization is doing.
In the display window of Kraft
Farr will be found the articles pre-
pared by the women doing all kinds
of Red Cross work. Thousands of
these articles are being made each
week and are of much Importance
to the wounded soldiers.
The Alderman Store has large
cannon in the window shooting
bombs at a picture of the kaiser.
1t is an attractive and impressive
piece of workmanship and speaks
the sentiment of the populace.
The Wilson Department Store,
Mrs. w. w. Smith, Jensen & Viewer.
Henriksen Bros. and +. II. McFad-
den also have patriotic windows that
are attracting wide attention. All
in all. they present an attractive ap-
pearance and will no doubt be ad .
mired by the thousands of persons
wno will be in Audubon this week.

PRO-GERNiANS TO BE
ADMITTED FREE OF CHARGE

Don Preston, manager of the
Crescent theatre. who is featuring
THE Kaiser, the Beast of Berlin"
at his popular play house Friday
and Saturday of this week, says that
he will admit all pro-germans free
of charge to this big show. All they
have to do is to make application to
him and they viii be admitted alb
solutely free. The big production is
calculated to stir the patriotism in
the hearts of all Americans. and il is
quite certain that any pro-german
who sees the play will leave the the
atre purged from his errors.
1t is urged that as many of the
people of this city attend the pro-
duction Friday night and Saturday
afternoon as possible, in order that
the outside people may have the op-
portunity of witnessing the produc-
ton on Saturday. Reports from all
over the country are that the pic
ture is the best thing that has ever
been screened. 1t purges the pro-
german and instills a larger degree
of patriotism in the hearts of Amer
leans 1t will not be long now until
every man. woman and child in this
country will be American through
and through. If he or she is not.
they will find no place of rest in
this country.
The price of admission is so cents
for adults and 25 cents for children.
Mr.. Preston has also secured an or
chestra for the great show, and this
will add much to the production.
Many other towns in this section of
the state are charging $1.O0. Here
in Audubon every one may see the
much hated Kaiser" for soc. All
indications point to a tremendous at
tendance for both DAYS.

A SOLDIER BOY IS
BACK FROM FRANCE
Will be in Audubon Friday Afternoon
to Make a Talk and to Tell the
People About the War

A great treat is in store for the
people of this section of the coun-
try tomorrow afternoon at three
O'Clock when Private Montgomery
of Stuart will be in the city to tell
the people of his experiences in
France.
1t was not until noon today that
ID. L. Freeman got into communica-
ton with the proper parties where
by he was able to get one of these
returned Iowa soldier boys to pay
Audubon a visit.
Private Montgomery who with
two other Iowa boys and trio of
Iowa telling the people what the
war is like in France. They have
been in the service and have fought
in the trenches. Montgomery's
story will be of special interest to
everyone in general but OF special
interest to those who have sons and
brothers in the service.
The meeting was hastily arranged
and of course could not be given the
best of publicity. We hope. how
ever. that word will be passed
along the line so that large audi
ence will be in this city to hear the
story first handed The writer is
not acquainted with Private Mont
gomery, but he is acquainted with
his father. They say the boy is a
chip off the old block. and if he is
he will give us'a thrilling story of
the war well told.
Owing to the uncertainty of the
weather it is impossible to state
where the speaking will be, but il
it is favorable and not too windy
the speaking will be in the park,
otherwise in one of the churches.
The young man spoke at Winter
set this afternoon. Tonight he is
to speak at Casey and men from
here will go to Stuart in the morn
ing to bring him to Audubon for the
afternoon meeting, In the evening
he will be taken to Atlantic where
he will speak.

AUDUBON men CAN
GO TO FRANCE
y. NJ. &. A. Work i'm This
Country and i'm France

w. G. Wilson, who was chairman
of the Army Y. NJ. c. A. drive last
year, which went over the top SO
gloriously, has just received a COM
munication from headquarters in
which an appeal is made to him for
men to do Y. NJ. c. A. work with the
Army in France. The communica-
ton says: ats
Last year We came to you for
money. Very likely we must have
more money later this year, but just
now we are coming to you for men
strong, Christian business men,
who feel their personal responsibility
to have part in this great war.
On April 18th we had 1908 men
engaged in the Army Y. NJ. c. A.
work and 2041 men engaged in over
seas Y work. The large additional
number of men who are being called
to the colors, and the rapidity with
which our men are being sent across
makes it imperative that for the next
four or five months we have at least
500 additional men per month in
the camps here and 1000 additional
men per month for overseas work.
This latter estimate is based on Gen.
vial SliAlS ItQutsis anu Ou lut
urgent pleas which have come to US
from France.
These men must be between the
ages of 81 and so. They must be
American citizens and in good ply
steal condition. They must be sue
cessful in their own business or pro-
fession, good mixers, and full of en-
ergy and with will to do whatever
needs to be done to serve our boys
in the army.
There is no money to be gained in
this work. The men are paid &C
cording to their needs. Men who
have families will receive in addition
&c their own expenses an allowance
sufficient to support the family at
home. Above all, the sort of men
wanted are capable men, who feel
the call of service, who are fretting
because they are not having part in
his great struggle. To such, this
work offers a wonderful opportun-
ity; the greatest which is likely to
come to any good man.
Anyone interested in this work
should talk with Mr.. Wilson and he
will see that you are put into COM
munication with the proper officials.

MANY ATTEND THE
SUPPER AND PROGRAM

About two hundred people from
all parts of Audubon county met at
the Methodit church last Tuesday
night to attend the supper and the
meeting planned for the evening.
The weather was ideal and the So
licitors and chairmen from the var
ious townships were present in
force.
The meeting was planned to out
line the Red Cross drive that is to
take place in the United States next
week. Several plans were talked of.
One of the plans was that in opera
ton in Webster county where it has
worked successfully. James Rus
sci of Fort Dodge, a former business
man of this city, was asked to come
to Audubon to explain the plan. He
complied with the request and in a
very nice way explained the plan in
detail. 1t calls for certain per
cent to be paid by each man each
week, based on a weekly balary.
This amount is paid weekly and a
fund accumulated so that in case OF
a call for funds the county would
have the money in advance to meet
the urgency. Another plan is to
permit persons to pay stipulated
sum each month during the duration
of the war.
Other plans were also discussed
but no definite steps were taken. 1t
was decided at this meeting however
to name Monday, May goth as the
day to complete the drive in this
county. A committee has the var
ious plans under consideration, and
at some time in the near future
some sort of plan will be adopted in
the county.
The people of Audubon were very
much pleased to meet Mr.. Russell,
and he too took special delight in
explaining the plan to his old time
trends

RED CROSS DRIVE MAY 20

The National headquarters is now
asking for $100,O00,000.
The quota for Iowa is $1,500,00O.
Audubon county's quota is $12,-

All this money goes out of the
county to Secretary McAdoo and is
to be used as the National Head
quarters may direct.
The allotments for the towns and
townships are made according to the
assessed valuation. The rate is al
most four-tenths of one mill. Prop
erty owners should pay where their
property is located. Otherwise the
allotments would not be fair as be-
between towns and townships. All
who possibly can should donate

who could not buy Liberty Bonds
will now have an opportunity to do
their bit for the Red Cross.
