GUARDING AGAINST FLU

A year ago the Spanish influenza
was raging at Camp Dodge and all
over the country. over 700 sol
diers died at Camp Dodge. The
largest number of deaths in any one
day was 22S. The United States
government is determined to prevent
a recurrence of the malady. Under
a provision made by the United
States health department, DR.. G. H.
Sumner, secretary of the state board
of health, will within few days
name one physician in each county
of the state to serve as federal and
state representative in case influenza
breaks out to any considerable de-
gree. The physician is to receive
81 per day for each day served in
this capacity and travelling expenses.
The government and state health de-
partments are planning in every way
possible to forestall influenza and to
take care of II III it develops. The
best known methods of combating
this disease as gathered by the ex-
periences of physicians throughout
the country will be communicated to
the county representatives who in
turn will keep the physicians in his
county apprised OF the health de-
partment findings. In this way 1t
is hoped that the whole country will
have the benefits of the most success
full methods of prevention and treat
ment of influenza. The government
now has a man in Iowa making a
survey of the water carried on rail-
road trains its source and supply and
the condition of the receptacle in
which il is carried.

GIVE PASTOR A RECEPTION

There was a knock at the door.
The lady OF the house was expecting
invited guests. Imagine her sur
prise when going to the door she
saw not one family. but procession
of people stretching for over block
from the house. The lady in
question was Mrs. Claude r. Cook
of Gray, and the procession was
band of Methodists and friends who
had come to surprise the minister
and his family. who were beginning
their third year of work in the
town.
After recovering their equilibri-
um Mr.. and Mrs. Cook found ex-
preston enough to begin trying TO
make the crowd of people at home.
The house was full and the large
church yard was full of folks who
had come bringing chicken, cake,
coffee and relish. The evening
was spent in a manner quite pleas
ing to all and leaving the host and
hostess in very happy frame OF
mind as they invited them all to
come again.

Mrs. Anna PARROT, mother OF
Mrs. Charles Jones and sister of Mr..
Lovelace, west of Ross, died Tues
day morning. She was most de-
voted member of the church and a
true Christian.
The Evangelical general confer
ence in session at Cedar Falls favor
unionism. The session on last Sat
urday morning was an executive ses-
sion at which the basis of union be-
tween the Evangelical association
and the United Evangelical church
was discussed very thoroughly and
at great length with the following
result. The sentiment of the con-
ference delegates is heartily in favor
of adopting the basis of union and
the opinion is that it will be adopt
ed. 1t is an interesting coincidence
that just one year ago, october 4th,
the general conference of the United
Evangelical church approved of the
basis of union between the two
churches. A meeting of great i'm
portance and of unusual interest
was held Tuesday evening when the
fraternal delegates of other denomi-
nations delivered addresses. Among
them were Rev. c. H. Stauffacher,
presiding elder of the United Evan
gelical church of Cedar Rapids and
Bishop Howard of the United Breth-
rem church.
We are not only glad for the
great enthusiasm in regard to the
! union of these churches which is a
| wise step. We are also glad to see
Bishop Howard of the United Breth-
rem church given place on the
| platform at that great conference
! representing the Evangelicals of
nine different nations. We think
we understand the longing of the
United Brethren's represented by
Bishop Howard at this time. A few
years ago when some Evangelicals
laymen and ministers, arranged for
| a great meeting in Chicago and ex-
pressed their desire for the union
of these two clutches some Breth-
rem were near enough to be clearly
understood, but the gentle breezes
that seemed to penetrate the air at
that time seemed to say not yet,
these two first" This union was
not brought about at once but years
| and earnest prayer and wise counsel.
| So far as we are concerned and we
are not alone, come again Bishop
| Howard, you are welcome and we
hope that by and by closer union
will come. Until business matters
are fully adjusted and the union of
the two is completed let us pray for
each other, work together as much
as possible and continue the frater-
nal spirit and God will bless the re-
suits.

HACK LINE A SUCCESS

Fred Dettman and Jess Fiscus
who last week inaugurated hack
line from Atlantic to Manning, run
ming twice daily are meeting with
splendid success. They leave each
morning at eight o'clock and re-
turn to Audubon at noon. AT one
o'clock they start out again and
get back at five o'clock. Their
schedule is so arranged that they
get passengers from the trains in
Atlantic that reach there after the
Audubon branch has pulled out. The
same is true of the trains running
into Manning. They have been
very faithful to their duties regard
less of the inclement weather of the
past week, and they find tnat ronl-
IceIcial men are especially delighted
VITA the arrangement.
Mr.. Dettman makes the regular
tiips to Atlantic while Mr.. FIscus
makes the trips to Manning. Both
have good cars and we hope they
will continue to make good money
out of their venture.

ANOTHER METHODIST BISHOP
AGAINST THE LEAGUE

Right Rev. Thomas b. Nicely, a
bishop of the Methodist Episcopal
church, is vigorously opposed to
Wilson's League of Nations, and
doesn't mince words to give his reas-
ons for taking this truly American
position. The bishop says:
THE so-called League of Nations
implies such a proposition and in
wolves the destruction of indepen-
dence and the loss of sovereignty,
and therefore should by every true
American be Immediately and en-
phatically refused.
''It may be said that the League
may be changed, but no matter what
changes may be made in it, as long
as it retains the governing feature
its real character is not affected.
Article X may be removed, and
the Monroe doctrine may be better
guarded, and yet there will remain
many things that make the nation in
the League a subject nation under
the government of the League, and
as long as these things exist, and the
governing element persists, the men,
der nation has lost its sovereignty.
"That is the essential feature of
the League of Nations.
at is an over.government with
the nations subject to it, and the
United States must keep out or lose
its political independence, no matter
what reservations are made.
"The League of Nations is de-
structive of nationality and especial
ly of American nationality.
1.-THE nation that enters will be
ruled by it.
Then nations would cease to be
Powers the power of the world
would be in the league, and the
power of the league would be in the
hands of four or five men, the maxi
ing of the worlds greatest despotism.
1.-The present duty is to reject the
League and save the nation. -

BIG DEMAND FOR CARS

What is so rare as day in Octo-
Der for motoring? Then, il eyer,
come perfect days for the motorist to
see the whole countryside ablaZe
with color, a sight that is unsurpass-
ed among natures wonders.
Already the foliage has begun TO
assume red and yellow tibts and
soon the picture will be complete.
Great areas of woodland will be
completely transformed and the
splendors of the rural landscapes
will offer rare treats for those who
venture beyond the city's limits.
Every owner of motor car is in
position to fully appreciate this
season. The fall is in many respects
the ideal time TO enjoy motoring,
and that motorists are aware OF this
fact in increasing numbers is evil
denced by report from the automo-
bile dealers in Audubon who. say
that never before have the requests
for cars of all kinds been so heavy
as during the present season.

EVERYTHING QUIET IN OMAHA

All is quiet again in Omaha in
striking contrast to one week ago
when a bowling mob lynched me-
gro accused of assaulting a white
girl, burned the courthouse and
nearly lynched Mayor Smith for try
ing to dissuade the mob from its eff
forts.
Nearly 100 men are in Jail as
leaders or members of the mob, but
no further arrests have been made
for a few days. Mai. Gen. Wood
who took charge of troops in con-
troll of the city, has gone to Chicago
and soldiers from Camp Grant and
Camp Funston will leave in a few
days unless there is further trouble,
which is not anticipated.
Mayor Smith is reported very
weak at the hospital, but his physi-
clans say he will recover. He was
not advised until Monday morning
that the mob burned the courthouse
and accomplished its purpose in
lynching the negro.
Preachers in Omaha pulpits al
most unanimouly based their ser
mons Sunday in the violent episodes
of the past week, and strongly de-
cried the stimulating of mob spirit
by sensational newspapers attacking
the civic administration by yellow"
journalistic methods.

by Governor McKelvie in consulta-
ton with the city commissioners

EDISTO,s CROPS
CUT IL I HALF
Serious Problems Will Face
Farmers Next Year

Charleston, Sept 23.-It is report
ed that the onslaught Of the boil
weevil on the long staple cotton crops
Of the SEA islands has not by any
means been, responsible for the great
cut in production this season. In
fact, on Edisto Island. where ap-,
proximately only half crop will be
made, only 20 per cent damage has
been done by the pest. the remaining
60 per cent damage being caused by
excessive rainfall.
AS ON the other islands Edisto is
puzzled to find 4 substitute for sea
island cotton. which has been the
money crop on the island since time
inimemorial. AS Edisto has no rail
roads, it is impossible for this island
10 become a large trucking center
owing TO the fact that transportation
by steamer or sailing vessels is in.
convenient. as well as expensive. Sorna
of the planters expect TO Taises thoi-
oughbred cattle, but as the transpor-
tation question would again arise. 1t
is not expected that cattle raising Will
become general. except in the cases OF
the farmers that live near the m;t.,l-
land. and can, perhaps. use the ratl-
roads through use Of the recently
erected bridge
One solution of the question will.
perhaps, be the raising Of short staple
cotton, this crop already having been
raised with perfect success by seEera.
