ICE CREAM sopAs HIGH

A tremulous lament has arisen
from a victim of monopoly--or boil
shevism, or plutocracy or social seis-
mography-any way, he's the victim
of something. And his complaint
is that there are certain soda foUn-
tains which charge 40 cents for ice
cream.
There are. And there are shoe
stores charging $40 for pair of
shoes. They wouldn't charge such
a price for shoes IL they didn't
know that there are plenty of people
willing to lay. As long as there Is
a demand for ice cream at 40 cents
throw, so long will we find accom-
nCdating compouDders of that
soothing alimentive willing to lis
pcnse it at the price-Qr at a dol
lar. IL there are sufficient enthusi.
asts willing to trade.
We have no kick. Theatres are
always crowded; ice cream parlors
arc busy; cigar stores could, in
most cases, handle twice as many
lines. and still find market, X

The insistent and almost universal

of the causes of the high cost OF liv-

more people making them. But
carpenters who used to make wooden
bedsteads are needed to make pi-

.BOOTLECGER MIKES
HIS GEOGRAPHY
YOUNG MAN ARRESTED FAILS
TO CONVINCE SHERIFF HE
WAS WRONG

Bootlegging in the southern part
of Carroll county seems to be an art
that is not lost. Advices from Au-
dubon bring the information of how
man by the name of Henry Hage-
dorm has been doing a big business
in some of the forty rod squirrel
variety liquid. Hagedorn has been
selling booze around at bowery
dances held in the country and from
all reports has been doing a big
business.
Sheriff Wilson of Audubon county
visited Hagedorns home one day last
week and found three quarts of
liquor on the place. No one was
home at the time and the officers
waited until evening and got their
man at bowery dance. 1t is said
that Hegedorn claimed that Sheriff
Wilson would be unable to arrest
him as he was citizen of Carroll
county and was at that time on Car
roll county soil Evidently Mr..
Hagedorn was badly mixed in his
geography, and instead of being in
Warren township in Carroll county
he was in Lincoln township in Au-
dubon county. From all accounts
Hagedorn was unable to talk the
Audubon county Sheriff out of the
notion that Lincoln township was a
part of Audubon county. The re-
suit was that Sheriff Wilson took his
man to Audubon, where he was
bound over to the grand jury on a
$500 bond and told to go home and
learn more about the geography OF
Carroll and Audubon counties.
Hagedorn, after pleading guilty to
bootlegging revealed the place where
he was able to get the stun for $11
per quart. The place was over the
Carroll county line for sure this time
and the Audubon county officials
We're able to get some of the booze
at that place as evidence. They
informed the Carroll county sheriff
of the find. The local officials are
said to have been working on the
case but as yet unable to find suf-.
fcient evidence for arrest. 1t must
be that Mr.. Hagedorn's Carroll
county friend was tipped of and
when the Carroll county officials
come shopping around they are only
peaceful home-loying citizens.
When further questioned Hage-
dorm told that the stuff had been
imported from some place in Min
nesota by auto truck and the ques-
TONERS were led TO believe that there
is an organized traffic between Iowa
and Minnesota. 1t is said large
stocks are still cached in certain
Minnesota towns near the Iowa Dor
der and that 1t is an easy proposition
to make motor truck line pay

NEW PASTOR us HERE

Rev. ID. ]. Shenton of Shelby ar
rived in the city the latter part OF
last week and has been extremely
busy this week arranging his house
hold effects in the parsonage. Rev.
Shenton filed his regular appoint
ments at the Methodist church last
Sunday. A large audience greeted
him at the morning service and in
the evening another good audience
greeted him.
We have heard a good many COM
pliments on the new pastor and
there is the universal expression
that he will eft in well here"
Rev. Shenton is not an entire
stranger in the community. Dur
ing the summers of 1905-06, he
preached on the Audubon circuit
which included Ross, Bethel and
Melville. Since that time a great
many people from those localities
have moved to Audubon. In the
meantime Rev. Shenton has improv-
ed as a public speaker and by years
of continuous service has learned
how. to handle men successfully and
become a leader of men.
The Republican extends a most
hearty welcome to the pastor and
his family and trusts that his labors
in this field will be rewarded.

THERE Will Be
A Big DEFICIT
SODA AND MOVIE TAXES TO RE-
MAIN TO HELP PAY Gov
ERNMENT EXPENSES

Confronted with an estimated de-
felt in government revenue this ifs
cal year of from $4,000, 1000 to
$500, 100000, republican leaders
in congress have abandoned their
projected program for the reduction
OF taxation and are seeking means
Of increasing the federal income.
Chairman Good, house committee
on appropriations, says the total net
expenditures in the year ending on
June 80, 1920, will be $10,S31,201,-
5S5. and total revenues will not ex-
coed s7,229,92S,24O, leaving de-
fcit of $3,59t,27S,345.
There is a possibility, however,
that by return to the treasury OF
the $1,000, 100000 wheat guarantee
fund and additional salvage of war
equipment this deficit can be re-
dueed to $2,49l,273,345.
The governor OF the federal re-
serve board has said the allies,
which have borrowed nearly S10,-
coo 100000, cannot be expected to
ray any interest on these loans for
at least two years. and that the in
terest will be added to the principal.
Congress is trimming depart
mental demands to the bone and yet
the total OF prospective imperative
expenditures cannot be brought
within the income. st
Former Secretary McAdoo is criti-
eised for unloading a deficit on the
republican congress by bringing
about reduction of taxes from ST.
700, eos. O00 last year to $4,000
N0S, this year.
The ways and means committee
indicated at hearing OF moving
picture interests that it would OPP
Hose the repeal of the movie tax,
which yields $4,000 900 a year.
Proposals to eliminate numerous
luxury taxes will be disregarded.
Republicans have Abandoned all
hope of revising the income tax
downward. Representative Copley
and some members of the ways and
means committee, however, are
contending for revenue revision at
the next session, which, while not
reducing and possibly even increas-
ing the aggregate income from this
source, would redistribute the tax
burden with greater equity to the in
sividual. Principally, they would
transfer the corporation taxes to the
individual stockholders.

the Ladies' Aid Society of the NJ.
e. church was, held in the church
parlors this afternoon. There was
a good attendance and much plan
ming was done, II was finally de-
cided that the annual supper this
year would be served on Thursday
evening, November 18th The
Methodist ladies' have a wide reputa-
ton for serving good suppers. and
no doubt they will receive liberal

the Dennis Smoke House where re-
turns were received daily by special

LOTS OF EXCITEMENT
IN AUDUBON YESTERDAY

There was all kinds of excitement
in Audubon yesterday during the
progress of the worlds series, the
seventh game of the series being
played at Cincinnati, The fans are
about equally divided between the
Sox and the Reds. At the begin
ming of the series the Reds were in
the lead, but with the sensational
winning of the last two games by
the Soxs Gas stimulated the Sox
fans into the belief, that they still
have a chance to win the series.
There has been great deal of good
natured 'joshing" and little bet
ting on the side. To say the least
1t has been an exciting time. The
two teams play in Chicago today
and by the time this paper reaches
its readers the eighth game of the
series will have been played.

DEMAND GERMAN OFFICERS
GUILTY OF WAR CRUELTY

4 =
Great Britain, France and Bel
GUM have prepared lists of hun
Sreds of Germany army and navy
sfficers whom they will ask to be
extradited for committing crimes
against recognized rules OF war.
The English navy has made up
lists of the submarine commanders
who torpedoed merchantmen and
hospital ships at sea and in English
ports. The English will also de-
nand certain Zeppelin and aeroplane
pilots who bombed London.
France will demand numerous
aerman aviators who piloted Gothas
aver Paris and bombed the city last
year.
The French also will demand ex-
tardition and trial of those respon-
sible for the long range lombard
nent of Paris by big Bertha" 1t
is believed those guilty may include
the leading Krupp engineers who
manufactured the cannon, as well as
the artillery officers who fired the
piece.
Belgium wants the German Of
Hcers who acted as town mayors and
we're responsible for the deporta-
lions and cruelties.
All will join in demanding justice
against the German doctors who let
prisoners die without atte3tion, and
against the cruel German guards
who mistreated the prisoners of war.
II is understood the United States
will not demand that any Germans
be brought to justice, although Am
erica must join with the allies in
demanding the extradition OF the
former kaiser, President Wilson
having promised Lloyd George and
Clemenceau to support them last
spring.
According to the treaty terms,
these lists of guilty Germans must
be submitted to the German govern
mcnt within a month after the treaty
Is ratified.
