But it does require nerve to try
and bridge over facts of this kind.
If you have always lived on easy
street, which many of US have, then
you are ignorant of the facts. But in
this enlightened age, ignorance is
no excuse as long as there is chan
mel OF be enlightened by. Everything
that is good is we'll worth its weight
and if you have prospered through
unionism, you should be willing to go
down in your pocket and provide a

debar something you may some day
wish you had at your disposal.

Baby Mortality High In
Opening Months
of 1918.
Children's Year, Which Opened April 6
Must Bring 30 Per Cent Reduction
II States Quota of Baby Lives
Is To Be Saved.

Columbus Ohio during the first
the year three months of 1918 had
only 13 fewer deaths of children un-
der 5 than in the average three
months of 1916, the year on which
baby-saving quotas for children's
Year in the cities and counties have
been figured.
This means that to attain the Child
ren's Year quota apportioned to the
state by the Federal government,
deaths during the remaining nine
months of the year must be 80 per
cent less numerous than in the first
quarter Children's year opened April
sixth
The division of child hygiene of the
State Department of Health today
outlined this situation in a statisti-
cal summary of mortality before the
opening of the baby-saving campaign.

Gas May Help win war.

Our Illuminating gas plants may win
the war for US, according to the Amer
ican Chemical society. These experts
say that the only way of quickly In
creasing the available supply of toluol
is to extract it from the nations gas.
Toluol is the basis Of trinitrotoluol, the
famous British high explosive t. n. T.
The production in this country is con-
fined largely to by-product coke ovens
and the entire present output is con-
tracted for. However, by quick and
energetic action we can secure an i'm
mense supplementary supply Of this
vitally necessary substance by treating
Illuminating gas without affecting the
unalitv nf the gas annreciably.

The Aged Painters Home Commit
tee feels greatly encouraged and its
efforts are being recognized by the
rank and file of the organization.
Some of the most prominent locals in
the organization are already in line
for this grand and noble movement,
and have committees appointed work
ing in conjunction with the Aged
Painters Home and Pension of Tul-
sa, Oklahoma. There have been nine
different plans submitted with sealed
endorsements for the approval of the
Brotherhood and they are being mail
ed broadcast to be acted upon When
proposition of this kind (Aged
Painters Home and Pension) is men
toned, and the organization considers
to reflect on the matter, it wonders
at times how it ever managed to get
along without backing of the kind
for its aged and disabled members. If
the Union painters halls could speak
they would tell many heart rending
tale of woe the members have to hear;
as a rule the class of members who
help their old brothers can easily be
counted in all our locals; this is plain
and known fact. This home and pen
sion movement will make every mem
Der in our organizations stand on his
own hill, as it were, and produce a.
like. We have the grandest and the
most progressive organization in the
Building Trades movement and it's
about time the old brothers who help
ed to place it where it stands in the
| first rank as a success, were about
to be helped to home and pension

know of such things and tells him, and
he chooses to hold his card and stick
or thin, don't you believe your organ

READ
And Watch These
Stoves.
To Organized Labor.

To Organized Labor.
Brothers.
The members of Stove Mounters'
Detroit, Mich, have been on strike
since February 8, 1918, in the shops
of the Michigan Stove Co, Art Stove
Co, Peninsular Stove Co, and Detroit
Stove Works, on account of the above
named firms denying certain of their
employees the right to become mem
bers of organized labor and refusing
to deal with them as such.
These firms have also refused to
grant increases in wages equal to ad-
vances conceded by all other stove
manufacturing concerns throughout
the country and for these reasons we
do not recommend to members of or
ganized labor the product of these
concerns whose trade marks are as
follows:
Garland Stoves, Ranges and Furn-
aces, made by the Michigan Stove Co.
Laurel Stoves, Ranges and Furnaces
made by the Art Stove Co. Peninsu-
lar Stoves, Ranges and Furnaces,
made by the Peninsular Stove Co.
Jewel Stoves, Ranges and Furnaces
made by the Detroit Stove Works.
Do you believe in the right of work
men to become members of organiz-
ed labor and that they shall be dealt
with as such? We know you do, and
for this reason we are asking your
moral support.
We request that your organization
appoint a committee to visit stove
dealers in your city and ask them to
discontinue the sale of all Detroit
made stoves or furnaces until such
time as these firms are willing to
concede the right of their employees
to become members of organized la
Dor and agree to pay wages equal to
advances granted by all other firms.
Thanking you in advance for your
valued assistance, we remain,

LADIES ENJOY AN
ALL DAYS SEWING

The ladies of the Red Cross sew
ing room, who have been meeting
regularly in the basement of the
library, held an all days sewing
session yesterday. Many of the
ladies were present. They brought
their dinners with them and at
noon put on a special spread in hon
or of the birthdays of Mrs f. Reed
which occurred last Monday, and for
Mrs. ID. ]. COnklin, which occurred
yesterday.
Before the dinner hour, Miss
Harriet Bilharz, on behalf of the
women, presented Mrs Conklin a
beautiful flag in most pleasing
way. Mrs. Conklin was visibly af-
fected by the presentation and was
hardly able to respond. She was
proud of the gift and said 81 would
rather have this flag than a million
dollars" and no one doubted her.
Mrs. Conklin has been very ac-
tive in the war activities from the
very beginning. At present she is
chairman of the sewing division.
She is agreeable and very pleasant
to get along with and has the hearty
support and cooperation of all the
women of the community in the
work they have undertaken. Dur
ing the afternoon many more were
at the sewing room. 1t was day
well spent and one that VIII long
be remembered by those who were
present 1t was happy way OF
showing their chairman how fully
they appreciate her effective work.

THE LAST CALL TO
ALL OLD SUBSCRIBERS

The Republican is making its last
call this week to all subscribers
who are in arrears, and especially
those who reside outside or Audi
bon county. 1t will be necessary for
those in arrears to have their re-
mittance in this office not later
than August first.
On the first of July the new pos
tai rulings went into effect and we
must comply with them. The mail
ing is now done in what the govern
ment calls zones" and in many
of these zones the postage will be
as much as the price of subscrip-
ton.
We have decided to raise our
subscription rates to $3.50 to all
readers outside of Audubon county
We will allow the readers to pay
their back subscription at the old rate
and not more than one year in ad-
vance. We must have the money
that is due us. A great many are
owing us from three to four years
and this we cannot permit any long.

HELD SPECIAL MEETING

A special meeting of the CONNER
cial club was called yesterday morn
ing by President w. G. Wilson. 1t
was for the purpose of devising
some method of disposing of the
required number of season tickets
for the coming chautauqua. A
canvass of the city will be made
Friday and the canvass will reach
out into the country as far as pos
sible Several hundred tickets have
already been bought, but it was
thought best to have all season
tickets disposed of before the day
of opening, which this year comes
Saturday afternoon.
The program this year is said to
be better and stronger than last
year. There are many new feat
ures that have heretofore not been
presented from the chautauqua
platform. Among these special
features are the splendid talks on
the war situation by men who have
the knowledge of conditions as
they actually are. Some of the
best speakers in the United States
will enlighten us on these subjects
1t is hoped that everyone who pos
siblby can will purchase a season
ticket. The tickets sell at 81 each
When the number contracted for by
tn Commercial Club has been dis
posed of the price will advance.

year. Yet it will take the united
support of everyone in the comun
ity to make the chautauqua sue

WILL GIVE THE BOYS
A ROUSING FAREWELL

The commercial club of this city
is anxious that the 156 Audubon
county boys who are to leave on
the morning of July cath shall
have fitting farewell. The pres
ident of the club, w. G. Wilson, has
appointed S. C. Kerberg to make
the proper arrangements Just
what he has in mind we do not know
but plans are in the making and
when finally completed it will be
an event that the boys will not soon
forget.
A demonstration of some kind
has been held each time a number
of our young men have been sent to
camp. This is the largest number
that has been called at one time, and
it was thought perfectly proper
to give big demonstration at this
time.
Mr.. Kerberg has not yet appoint
ed his assistants, but he will find
an abundance of men who are will.
ling to do whatever they can. Let
everyone in the country join MIR
Kerberg and his committee in giving
farewell that will put hope and
courage into their hearts. Let the
flags float and give vent to all the
patriotism that is in you. The boys
who have gone and are going are
giving their lives as freely as The
rain drops that fall on the flowers
and we should give thcm ell tn,
honor we can before they leave.

rending sight could not be secured.
Mr. Thompson has titled his
scenes 1.-THE German Curse in Rus

aims to show that the defeats of the
Russian army. its lack of supplies
and ammunition and the preach
ments of Lenine and the Bolsheviki
! are directly due to the various pro-

tism into the mind of the spectator

cal scenes. And for both his eff

great credit. With what are prob
ably the most interesting war pic
lures ever placed on the market,
presented in a decidedly pro-Ameri-

is rendering both the individual and
the United States a tremendous ser
vice.
