GONE BACK TO COLORADO

S. C. Curtis and wife, who have
been in the community the past fort
night visiting his brothers and old
time friends, returned overland Mon
day to their home in Longmont,
Colo. Mr.. and Mrs. Curtis had a
fine time here and were greatly
pleased with their rest from their
duties in a large cafe which they
operated for a period of eighteen
months but sold just before starting
for Audubon. Sim was for many
years engaged in the printing bust
ness in Audubon and had poor
health Now that he has been out
doors and in the Colorado climate he
looks like new man and he says
he feels every bit as good as he
looks. He says his experiences in
Colorado have taken all the enthusi-
asm for the printing business out
of him.
Their two children are going to
school in Longmont and did not ac-
company them on the trip. Gar
land who was afflicted with asthma
while he lived here, has practically
overcome the ailment.

TREATY NOT TO BE RATIFIED
WITHOUT RESERVATIONS

The administration fight to
bring about ratification of the peace
treaty without reservations COM
pletely collapsed Tuesday.
Faced by the realization that re-
publican leader Senator Lodge had
enough votes pledged for his reser-
walton program to force its adop-
ton, democratic senators were
urging that overtures be made to the
republican side in an effort to get
the best they can in the way of res
ervations which will not mean the
rejection of the treaty.
Although Senator Lodge has def
nitely announced that the time for
compromise has passed, the support
ers of the president still cling to the
hope that they may be able to effect
some changes in the reservation pro-
gram which will save the treaty
from reservations which the presi-
dent in his speeches said would cut
the heart out of the league coven-
ant
This hope may nst be realized, for
one of the reservations which Sem
ator Lodge states his fifty-fve SEN
ators will support is the very one
which the president denounced in
his Salt Lake City speech
The first step toward the col
lapse of the administration fight
came Tuesday morning when a
number of democratic senators
were called together by Senator
Hitchcock to confer with the demo-
cratic members of the foreign rela-
tions committee upon the policy
which these members should fol-
low in the important meeting Of the
committee which has been called
for this morning.
When the democratic confer
ence convened Senator Hitchcock
was Immediately faced by a revolt
among the senators of his own party
who fatty told him they would re-
fuse to follow his program of vot-
ing to kill the treaty il reservations
are adopted by a majority vote of
the senate. These senators inform
ed Senator Hitchcock in plain lam
gtiage that they did not believe 1t
would be either wise or polite to
make any move that would mean
rejection of the treaty. They told
him frankly that they would not
give their votes to such a program.

DROVE FROM CANADA
IN TRUCK To AUDUBON

C. C. Nielsen, Audubon county's
we'll known auctioneer, who with
his wife and family have been max
ing their home in Canada with their
son, returned home the fore part of
the week. Early in the spring Chris
rugged up a truck and made the
trip overland to Canada. He re-
turned the same way, and while he
was in town Monday he said he had
very little trouble on the way back.
He likes Canada and says he did
pretty well this summer. But he
says next year is when he is going
to make a killing. More land will
be under cultivation and he and
his son will be in better shape to look
after the immense small grain crops
that will likely be grown. Chris
is getting ready to begin his farm
sale business and in fact said he
made several dates for sales while
he was in Canada.

IowA's BIGGEST INDUSTRY

/ read a story in a nearby paper
the other day about meeting at
tended by cuisines men and farm
ers.' l wondered why we always
call the man who operates a shoe
store or a bank or a grain elevator a
business man; but the man who
operates a 200-acre farm is not a
business man; he is a farmer"
And yet, farming is Iowa's biggest
business, and one of the very first
things we ought to do, at least here
in Iowa, is to stop distinguishing
between town business and rural
business by saying business men and
farmers" EARNING is business
and a real business, at that.
Agriculture is the great basic in
dustry of the world. Whatever
we eat. We cannot eat without
food, and the extent and variety OF
food depends upon richness OF the
soil-the climate-and the skill and
energy of those whose business 1t is
to till the- soil. These three ele-
ments exist in Iowa in greater de-
gree than anywhere else in the
world.
Two hundred years ago, Dean
Swift, one of the most profound writ
ers of his time, said:
"And he gave 1t for his opinion.
that whoever could make two ears
of corn. or two blades of grass to
grow upon a spot of ground where
only one grew before, would deserve
better of mankind and do more es-
sential service to his country, than
the whole race of politicians put to-
gether.'

AUDUBON MAN
IS HOME AGAIN
SPENT MUCH OF HIS TIME IN
FRANCE, GERMANY AND BEL
GUM THE PAST YEAR

Walter Graves who left. here a
little over a year ago to enter the
army Y NJ G. A., returned to Audi
bon yesterday afternoon. Walter
had a son in the service in France
most of the time he was there but he
never got to see him. The son,
however, has been back home sew
eral months.
Mr.. Graves looks every inch man
in his army uniform. 1t only takes
the "once over" to conclude that he
is every bit as good as he looks. In
an interview with him last night he
said it was a great experience. He
spent five months in France, about
five months in Germany and two
months or better in Belgium.
Most of the time he was engaged
in building Y. NJ C. A. huts. Since
last July he has been engaged in
removing the huts from Germany to
Belgium where they have been dis
posed of to what is known as the
King Albert fund.
Practically all of the time he was
in France German prisoners were
given him to assist in the work. In
Germany the "Y" hired all of the
help and of course they were all
Germans. Mr.. Graves was also
able to enter. Italy where he saw
some of the country which he says
was the most beautiful he ever laid
eyes on. In fact he says the seem
cry along the Rhine in Germany is
also a sight to behold.
The past few months things have
been pretty dull and all of the ''Y"
workers were anxious to return. On
the steamship with him were eight
other 'Y' workers and large num-
Der OF Red Cross workers.
His ship reached New York harbor
Friday evening, but those on board
were not permitted to land until
about five o'clock Saturday after
noon. He made his report to head
quarters in New York and one hour
later he was making arrangements
for his return to Audubon He
had written his family on Sunday
that he probably would not reach
Audubon until later in the week, but
there was much less red tape in get
ting discharged than he anticipated,
so he was able to surprise his fam
lily last night, which proved to be
mutually enjoyable.
Mr.. Graves says Audubon looks
better to him now than it ever did
before. While the war was on he
said II sure had the bug to go, and
although I am not sorry that l went,
I'm mighty glad to get back to my
family and old friends. am going
to take few days rest and then /
will get back into the harness and
take up work where ! left off about
fifteen months ago." He wound up
by saying, "Hoog," you can tell
them all that I'm for Audubon, first,
last and all of the time"

HOT WORK

Now that football is upon us. a
glance at the scores of the big
western elevens will show what is in
store. Last Saturday Wisconsin
beat Northwestern, 1876: Illinois
beat Iowa, 81; Notre Dame beat
Nebraska. 1919; Minnesota beat Indi-
ana, 20-6; Chicago beat Purdue,
1910. Every game was a bitter
struggle to the last play.
1t looks good. II looks very
good. Many a coach will lie awake
nights in the next five weeks, facing
the succession of fierce struggles
that his team must go through.
Practically every college has its
group of returned soldiers, young
fellows mature and experienced phys
ically, ready for anything new or
old. alert without nervousness, and
determined to win or be carried on.
The awakened public interest in
football is shown by such indica-
tions as the $4,000 spectators at
Evanston Saturday, the largest
crowd the field could accommodate,
before the season had really got
under way. II is shown by the
immense development of profess
sional football. 1t is shown most
strikingly by the huge freshmen
football squads everywhere.
A fair field, gentlemen; no favors,
and on rough stun. It's a great
year. Let's go to the game at
Harlan tomorrow.

SERVICE STATION OPEN

The new service station built by
the Cedar Rapids Oil Co., on south
Washington street will be opened to
the public some time this week. o..
X. Purdy, for many years engaged in
the drug business. has been made
manager and will have charge of the
business. He has hired Edgar
Carter, who purchased a truck this
week and will handle the delivery
of oil and gasoline. The company
recently rebuilt their supply station
which was destroyed by the food
early in the spring and they have
on hand a full line of kerosene and
gasoline. Mr.. Purdy said he hoped
70 be able to make a more definite
statement to the public through the
columns of the Republican in later
issue. In the meantime he says IL
anybody, needs a supply of gasoline
to call on him and he will see that
the order is promptly filled.

Rack FROM CANADA

Hans Hansen, who has been In AL
berta, Canada the past five weeks
looking after the harvesting of his
crops. returned home Monday even
ing. Mr.. Hansen said the Danish
colony in the vicinity of Standard
was getting along nicely and al
though the crops were not as good
as they had reasons to expect. yet
the yield was sufficient to bring good
returns on the investments. Many
from this vicinity who went there
last spring purchased more land and
intend to gradually increase their
holdings. Mr.. Hansen expects to
return to Canada In few weeks.

REAL ESTATE Is MOVING

Evans Marquesen, who last spring
bought the Barney Deets quarter
section in Greeley township and later
traded it for, the James Reed eighty
one mile west of town, yesterday
sold the tract to Wallace Bolton.
Mr.. Marquesen said there was quite
a demand for farms at this time.
He said most of the sales at this
time were to farmers who wanted a
home next spring, while in past six
months most of the sales were made
to investors and spectators. Ev-
eroyne seems to realize that the
present price of Audubon county
land is going to remain where it is
now and as there will be no reduc-
ton in the price, farmers are going
to take hold of the buying end with
a view to making a permanent
home.

Audubon Methodist church gave o
reception to Rev. d. J. Shenton and

Brooks, for the Missionary Society;
John Renftle, for the Epworth

freshments were served. The re-
ception proved a delightful event
and gave the pastor an opportunity
of meeting the greater part OF the
membership Of the church.

An opportunity was presented TO
verify at Police Headquarters the tg-
ures respecting crimes during last Lee
cember. Thirty-four murders charged
to Americans were discIedited and dwrnd-
led TO two, and 244 holdups and assaults
were reduced by so per cent.
There have been numerous fistlc en-
counters, however, but they were mostly
between Americans, old-fashionGd rough
and-tumble brawls, in which arrests arc
rarely made in American cities, where,
for the most part, the pugnacious indl-
