ing when a man or woman, not
then married, become the father and
mother of child they shall be deem
ed to be legally married at the time
of the birth of the child and the
child shall be deemed to the their le-
gal offspring
The measure authorizes the moth
er or expectant mother to complain
to the states attorney, who shall file
bill in chancery and the issues will
then be tried to jury. The father
and mother shall be admitted as
competent witnesses and their credi-
bility left to the jury. If the jury
finds the defendant to be the father,
1.-The decree shall be entered that the
defendant and mother are husband
and wife and the child their legal
offspring"
All proceedings must be brought
with ntwO years of the birth of the
child. After filing bill and serv-
ing of process neither the mother
nor the defendant shall marry a
third party while both are living and
have not been legally divorced" the
bill reads.
A penitentiary sentence of one to
three years is provided for violation
of the provisions of the bill.
Senator Atwood has pending on
second reading in the senate meas
ure doubling the amount to be paid
to a mother in illegitimate parentage
proceedings and Roos' bill directs
that "any man adjudicated to be the
father of such child" in proceedings
brought under the present law shall
be deemed the father of the child

which are valued at fabulous sum.
After the concert Mr.. Adams had
the opportunity of visiting Mr. Hell
fetz and his pianist Andrea Benoist
and to inspect his Stradivarius violin.
This was quite treat to Mr.. Adams.
who in recent years has made a wide
reputation as a manufacturer of high
grade violins. Mr.. Adams had two
violins OF his own make with. him
and he asked Mr.. Heifetz to try them
out. AS soon as the violinist drew
the bow over the instrument he said,
my. here is something great" He
at once became interested in Mr.. Ad-
ans and talked with him 70 rover an
hour and told him that the violins
were not only good, but excellent.
These complimentary remarks
were pleasing to Mr. Adams ana ne
is more than ever determined to con-
tinue to make and place on the mar
ket a grade of violin that will make
him known to violinists in every
country on the globe.

Cooperating with the newspaper

near to be out-and-out swindling,
aroused the newspaper owners and
the Association of Commerce to unit
ed action to put stop to the crook
ed practice and protect the holders OF
Liberty bonds who are animated by
an impulse to get rich quick.
This movement should go a long
way toward stamping out the swind-

II is with regret that We chronicle
the death of Robert Leroy Kibby. the
infant son of Mr.. and Mrs. George
Kibby, who died at the home just
southwest of town Monday morning.
The littel one was born December %,
1919. Frail since birth. the parents
hoped to see the child gain in
strength. but God willed otherwise.
Only the memory of the lovely child
is left. yet how sweet, how uplifting,
its influence. The funeral service
was held Tuesday afternoon from
the home, Rev. C. w. Proctor OF the
Methodist church in charge. The
small body was laid to rest in our
cemetery by hands that had tried to
make his young life happy. May
Gods purest angels guard his SUM
beers. The taking away of this child
has left a sad home. but the men,
cries thereof can fancy him awaiting
them in the place prepared for him.
The bereaved parents have the SYM
patty of all in this sad hour.

THE VICTORY LIBERTY LOAN

Victory over tyranny was the gift
of God in 1918. Victory over sell
fshness and apathy should be the
glorious blessing Of the present year.
Faith in God, in America, in our
own powers! Self-control in every
day life! Let's work for the great
err victory!
The Victory Liberty Loan OF 1919
will be offered to the American peo-
pie in April. This loan will yield
the funds that are needed to COM
plete the war task of the nation.
The honor of the government is at
stake. The gratitude Of the nation
to its heroic defenders must be mag
nificently affirmed. We must show
the whole world that We are loyal to
the pledged word of the American
nation.
The Victory Liberty Loan will be
the best investment ever offered by
any government. 1t will have less
risk. pay better interest, and have
more advantages than any security
obtainable. Buy your share!

BETTER DAIRY CATTLE NEEDED

"The common dual purpose or old
red cow must go If farmers are to
continue in profitable dairy produc-
ton" said Mr.. j. p. Ewes. of the
Iowa State Dairy Association while
in Audubon county Thursday and
Friday of last week.
"The high prices of feed and labor
absolutely demand reorganization
of the production side of dairying II
the business is to continue as pro-
fitable one. Those farmers Of Iowa."
continued Mr.. Ewes, who are milk
ing the better bred cows, the kind
that have been bred and developed
for increased production of milk and
butterfat are realizing that speciliza-
ton in production through the use Of
typical dairy cattle is returning the
greatest profits"
The Iowa State Dairy Association
is playing big part in the introduce
ton of high grade and pure bred
heifers of the leading dairy breeds.
These heifers are brought into Iowa
through the medium of the Boys and
Girls Dairy Calf Club. This plan
not only makes the securing OF good
calves possible but makes possible
the very valuable educational feature
for the boy and girl. During 1918
club Of 35 members was organized
around Extra with Holstein calves.
The people are so well pleased that
a larger club is planned for this year.
Further details of the plans will be
announced later. Those interested
should see C. b. Petersen of Extra or
County Agent Wolf.

SENATE MAY MAKE
ITS own PEACE
PRESIDENT NOT NECESSARY TO
TREATY WITH GERMANY
SAYS SENATOR

If President Wilson does not ne
gotiate a peace treaty satisfactory to
the senate, Senator Lenroot of Wis
consin, said in an address on the
league of nations before the Washing
ton Commercial Club Tuesday night,
congress may pass Joint resolution
summarily ending the war with Ger
many without treaty, leaving Amer
lean participation in the league of
nations to future determination.
Asserting that the United States
today is in "a most critical situa-
tion," with American principles and
ideals endangered by the plans of the
league, Senator Lenroot continued:
1--WE are told that the president
will not permit peace with Germany
unless there is made part of the
peace treaty the constitution of the
league as drawn in large part by
Great Britain.
1--WE are told that this will be done
to force the senate to accept with
out amendment this British constitu-
ton, revolutionizing our government
and its foreign and domestic policies.
"In other words, the senate is to be
coerced to do something which It
otherwise would not do, and public
opinion in America is thus to be CO.
creed into demanding ratification.
"In my judgment, President Will
son has once more misjudged the
temper of the American people and
the senate. will not be
coerced into voting for the constitu-
ton of the league and I am sure the
senate will not be.
1.-THE proposed constitution will
be considered upon it's merits
regardless of whether it is coupled
with the peace treaty or not.
eff the constitution
and safeguard the interests of the
United States, the senate will propose
such amendments as 1t may deem ne
cessary."
Senator Lenroot said "the supposed
club over the senate of postponing
peace is stuffed with
straw" adding:
"It does not seem to have occur
red to the president that II he is not
willing to negotiate a treaty of peace
satisfactory to the American people
congress may itself, and undoubtedly
will pass a joint resolution declaring
the war with German terminated.
"The constitution clothes congress
with the power of declaring war. and
the body that is given this power
unquestionably has the power to ter
inmate the war.
Germany is whipped. We are
asking for no annexation, no indem-
mites. We have accomplished the
purpose we had when we declared
war, and, while it would be desirable
to have a formal treaty of peace with
Germany, 1t is not necessary.
1--WE can declare the war has end
ed and go on about our business, and
/ confidently predict that this is
what will be done Il the treaty is
not ratified by the senate.
1.-THE proposed league of nations
will then have to be considered sep
arately il it is considered at all. BY
this course the United States will lose
nothing, for the obligations imposed
upon us by the proposed league far
outweigh any possible benefits COM
ing to u.s."

PECULIAR CASE Is SETTLED
OUT OF JUSTICE COURT

The case of Irene Wolfe VS. Valde-
mar Jensen, from Cameron township,
which was tried in the justice court
of A. H. Edwards, has been attract
ing considerable attention. AS re-
ported last week the jury before
which the case was tried, failed to
agree and papers had already been
served and on file for a retrial. In
the meantime the parties to the ac-
ton reached an agreement whereby
Mr.. Jensen moves off the place for a
consideration of 800. Mr.. Jensen
had the farm rented fora period of
five years and made lease with the
mother of Miss Wolfe. She however
had but life estate in the farm and
on her death the lease expired ac-
cording to the lawyers who repre-
scented Miss Wolfe. The farm had
been rented to other parties and Miss
Wolfe was obliged to make some ar
rangements with Mr.. Jensen for him
him to vacate. With the payment
of the above amount all action has
been stopped and Miss Wolfe gets
possession of her property.

CATHOLICS TO BUILD
NEW PARSONAGE

The members of the Catholic
church have decided to build a new
parsonage and work will begin just
as soon as the material can be
brought on the ground. Last year
when they made arrangements to
build their new church, their plans
also included the parsonage, but on
account of the high cost of material
it was decided to defer the parson-
age until later. However, the pres
ent contractor made the committee a
splendid offer recently. and at a
meeting of the executive board the
fore part Of the week they decided
to accept the offer. The parsonage
will cost $4,000 exclusive of the
plumbing and will be erected on the
site of the present building. When
the church and parsonage are COM
pleted the Catholics will certainly
have a splendid property. Consider
able grading will be done and the
corner will be the most attractive In
the city. These people are to be
congratulated for taking the matter
in hand and pushing their improve
ments to a successful termination.

AUDUBON MAY HAVE
fine HOSPITAL SOON
PLANS HAVE BEEN ON FOOT FOR
MONTHS TO ERECT SUBSTAN-
TIAL BUILDING IN CITY

Few people may be aware of it,
but it is nevertheless a fact that a
well organized movement is on foot
to build good, substantial hospital
| in Audubon. During the past six
months several of our prominent cit
liens have held meetings to talk
over the matter. No definite con-
illusions had been reached, in fact
the matter was not quite ready to
be made public at this time. How
ever, it was thought best to make it
public at this time on account of un-
| forseen circumstances that have
arisen.
1t is proposed that a hospital be
built on a suitable location here in
| Audubon, that it be non-sectarian
and supported by people in all parts
of the county. 1t no doubt will be
built by popular subscription, though
we understand several well-to-do
persons will make substantial dona-
tions to head the list. A hospital
to meet the needs will cost in the
nighborhood of $4,000 to 100000,
perhaps less, but whatever the
amount, the hospital will be forth
coming and there is not going to be
any lack of funds to make it what 1t
should be.
Last week the Republican contain
ed news item concerning the drive
that is being put on to enlarge ST..
iAnthony's hospital in Carroll. The
funds for this are TO be raised by
popular subscription. The people of
Audubon county do not wish to in
terfere with the work they have
k.,A al, I'D, hN,.
county is to be solicited for funds, it
was thought best to let the people
know that a hospital was cOntemplat-
ed for Audubon and then the people
could make their donation to which
ever organization they choose.
The Republican has always felt the
need of a hospital in Audubon. Dur
ing the past few years many people
have been compelled to go elsewhere
to get hospital accommodations. This
of necessity is expensive, taking trav-
cling expenses and all into considera-
ton. A large part of this expense
would be eliminated with a hospital
in this city.
The demands of the community
are sufficiently large to require a
hospital. Our home surgeons are
among the best in the profession and
large percent of the work could be
done by our own men. The pa
tients could then be near home folks,
ell of which would be more satisfac-
tory to all concerned.
A committee of citizens called at
our Office the fore part of the week
and authorized us to make the above
statement. We were told that a
public meeting would be called in the
near future and definite steps taken
to perfect an organization looking
forward to the completion of the
building at the earliest possible mo-
| ment.
Let all get back OF this movement
and secure for Audubon an institu-
ton that she cannot afford to be
without any longer.
