A REAL CROW NUISANCE
DETRIMENTAL TO COUNTY

One OF our local physicians inform
ed us last Thursday night, when in
conversation with him, that he had
seen thousands of crows in the Beers
grove, east of Hamlin last Wednesday
when making his rounds. This is
not the first report We have received
to that effect, as parties in that vi
cinity have been on a hunt for the
crows Of late, but seem to have little
success in discriminating them. This
matter should be taken up immedi-
ately by our county agent and every
man in Audubon county and hunting
parties formed to get rid of the pest,
TOR pests they are and will do more
damage than is ever done by the
gopher, upon which bounty is al
lowed.
This physician, none other than
DR.. Brooks. said that the ground in
that vicinity was literally covered
as far as he could see readily while
riding in his machine. in fact he
thought there we're enough crows in
and around the grove to easily de-
stroy $50 acres of corn In one day
and carry of chickens in large num-
bers. So you can see that with that
large amount of crows and with nest
ing time at hand. ii is up to the
proper authorities to see to it that
something must be done and that
quickly IL Audubon county is to re-
tain her reputation as bumper crop
county of the great state of Iowa. Too
much newspaper publicity cannot be
given this subject throughout Iowa.

"PIG TRAIN" SMELLS FUND

The famous pig train" of Win
neshiek county will help put Iowa
over the top in the big united relief
mund campaign which will be staged
by the committees on Armenian, Sy-
rian and Jewish relief work January
18th to 10th.
Last spring the farmers of that
county volunteered to donate pigs
to the Red Cross, and each one Sc
lected hog to be raised for the Red
Cross fund. A short time ago Win
neshiek county held a pig day, and
all the Red Cross hogs were brought
in. They made whole train load
which was shipped to Chicago, where
the hogs brought more than 100000.
AS this amount far exceeded the
county's obligation to the Red Cross
1t was voted to give part of it for the
relief fund campaign. 1t has been
finally agreed that twothirds of the
county's quota shall be taken from
the pig money. and the other one
third shall be raised among the peo-
pie of the towns of that county, who
had no share in the other donation.
1t seems especially fitting that
Iowa hogs should help indirectly in
the feeding of the starving people
of the near east.
There were 2,242 hogs in the lot
shipped TO Chicago on the special
train.

AVOID A SECOND ATTACK
4 OF THE SPANISH FLU

Persons who have had influenza
should exercise the same precautions
against another attack as il they had
never contracted the disease, says
DR.. Henry Albert, state bacterioligst
and professor of bacteriology at the
University of Iowa. In waiting upon
other members of the family, they
should wear masks and take other
to immunity.
The mere fact that the individual
RECEIVERS from Influenza" states DIR.
Albert, lis proof of some immunity,
but it is not known how long the ex-
emption will extend, probably not
more than a few months or years.
Frequent examples are TO be had of
persons having had two attacks in
the recent epidemic.
A twenty or thirty year immunity
from influenza is thought probable
by some, although there is no proof
of this. This vague opinion as to
such extended immunity is based on
the fact that during the present
seige of influenza lage percentage
affected. The older people went
through the epidemic of 1890 and
so are relatively immune.
DR.. Albert explains that fact that
influenza attacks hardest physically
fit and robust individuals, because
such persons are more active and are
exposed to more sources of infection
than the weak. Fatalities were
greater among the strong he thinks,
because the vigorous are unwilling
to remain in bed at the early
symptoms. Recurring waves of the
epidemic will sweep the state occas-
ionally during the next few years,
but they will be of lessened force.

corn husker of this part of the state.
1t has been remarked to us by parties
passing his farm while Mr.. Feeney
was in the field picking corn, that the
sound of the ''nubbins" hitting on
the side of the knock" boards,
sounded like machine gun We
know Bart has the record of picking
and cribbing as high as 120 and 140
bushels of corn day, not just for
day or two, but the whole se1son
through. OF course that was done
in good old Audubon county. whore

THE WEATHER PROPHETS

Several of our weather prognosti-
Gators assemble occasionally and
predict the 191S-1919 winter wealth
er. Some of them were in discus
sion the last of the week in the post
Office lobby. The majority SEEM
ed to think we are in for a mild win
ter and here is some of the dope"
the boys sprung:
"Signs point to mild winter. The
failure of the hickory trees to bring
forth nuts is dependable indication
have never known to fail. There are
no hickory nuts this fall to speak Of.
The early fall of leaves was another
sign. 1t never fails, one party was
heard to remark. Not only does my
own observation confirm this but I
have heard II spoken of by many
veteran followers of the weather con-
ditions. The leaves this fall fell ten
days or two weeks earlier than US
ual."

FIFTH LIBERTY LOAN
BEFORE MAY FIRST

Washington, Jan. 12.-The fifth
Liberty loan drive will be brought to
close before May /. it was learned
at the treasury department today.
The exact date for starting the drive
had not been determined.
At the rate of daiIy expenditures
now. there is a possibility that the
loan campaign may be staged earlier
than had been expected. With dis
bursements at peak in the nations
history. it was pointed out that a con-
tinuance OF this situation might hur-
~ along the fifth loan.
The fifth loan must come when the
total of treasury certificates sold ap-
proaches the amount of the loan,
which will probably be $4,000, 0OO,-
900.

BLAME THE PAROLE LAW
FOR MANY BURGLARIES

Many police and county sheriffs in
Iowa claim that the parole laws Of
this state are responsible for the fact
that Iowa is one of the leading states
In the number of burglaries during
the past year. They contend that a
man apprehended and convited for a
crime ought to be put away for a
term Of years, especially IL he has
anything OF a criminal record. They
claim that putting a man in the peni-
Tertiary for year and then releasing
him does little to stop crime.

FEW CASES OF THE FLU"
YET REMAIN WITH US

A few cases of influenza have been
reported for the past few days, on
Saturday and Monday. The total
for the past week does not run over
half a dozen. 1t is believed that this
ailment; like smallpox in some
places. has become epidemic-that it
will hover around here and claim a
victim now and then and possibly
periods of greater violence, from now
until the warm spring weather en-
sues. There seems to be little chance
for avoidance of this conclusion and
the community has about accepted 1t
as being correct
