RED CROSS PICNIC
A DECIDED SUCCESS

The annual picnic Of the st.
Johns Lutheran Church in Audu-
bon Township was held for the ben
eft Of the Red Cross, this year. A
good sized crowd attended, and
would, no doubt, have been larger
if the weedy cornfields had not
kept many farmers at home. The
net proceeds amounted to $735, the
Red Cross quilt given by the Ladies
Aid brought nearly $500 and would
have brought more if it had been
known by many that it was to be
sold to the highest County bidder.
Audubon County again showed
their generosity when they bot it
over Guthrie and Adair County's
bid and turned it back to be sold
again to the highest Individual bid
der and was again sold to w. G.
Tibben to remain permanently in
Audubon County. We did not learn
the amount Mr.. Hbben paid. The
Guthrie County people consoled
themselves by buying the Red Cross
flag.
Messrs. Moore Of Guthrie Center,
Petereen Of Conncil Bluffs and R.
G. Spencer Of Audubon each gave
a splendid address. Mr.. Spencer
spoke about the work of the de-
fense council and made it plain to
all that no one was being imposed
upon or prosecuted because Of his
being of German descent but that
no quarter would be given anyone
who transgressed our laws and in
terferred with the winning of the
war. After the speaking the usual
program was carried out, Races,
Jumping and Throwing Contests,
ETC., after which the crowd returned
to their homes feeling satisfied they
lhad spent a good afternoon.

WORK OR FIGHT!
DARN IT Do some THING

A little more about the work or
fight demand. Our Local Board at
Audubon announces that all regis
trants that are engaged in non-pro-
sductive occupations will be given
until July l, 1918 to change.
Those not changing before that
date will be called to Audubon to
give reasons why they are not obey
ing the order. Such evidence given
the board will be carefully consi-
dered and if found that such change
can be made-but is not-without
causing hardship on the dependents
the deferred classification will be
withdrawn and a new number given
and placed in Glass and ordered
into service, The government does
not ask all registrants with depen-
den is to enter the military service,
but being Of draft age considers
that all able bodied men should be
rendering effective work to the gov
ernment and are therefore given a
chance to make the change.
