DIR. MATTHIAS BACK AT
WORK IN THE OFFICE

After almost two years absence,
DR.. ID. F. Matthias is back at work in
his office. He located in the rooms
over Wilson's Department Store ear
ly in 1917. War broke out and af-
ter a few months practice, the doctor
enlisted in the medical department Of
the service.
There was great need for physi-
clans, and the doctor felt it his duty
to go. He went to New York and
there it was found that Great Britain
needed physicians worse than any
thing else. So DR.. Matthias was sent
overseas and loaned to the British
government. For months he as
sisted in the hospitals, later in the
base hospitals and during the sever
est fighting was sent to the front.
After being gassed he was returned
to the base hospital where he re-
NAMED until the signing of the ar
mistice.-
During his service in the army he
had lot of practice. Here he re-
ceived practice that hospitals could
not furnish He was exposed to
danger and saw service at its worst.
So many men We're wounded during
the big drives that he was compelled
Ito be ON duty day and night, In his
sector the Huns had made some
gains and it took eight days of con-
slant and terrific fighting to regain
the ground lost Thousands of men
were killed and many thousands
more were wounded.
For about year DR.. Matthias spe-
cialized in eye, ear, nose and throat
work and this kept him busy. He
was especially interested in that line
of work and now that he has return
ed to Audubon he has decided to
specialize in the same work. His
office has been equipped with. that
idea in mind. He feels that Audu-
bon offers a good field for that line
of work, and having had actual ex-
perience he is confident that he can
render the people of this community
the greatest service
A representative of the Republican
had an interview with him this week
and found him most interesting. He
relates his experiences in a matter of
fact sort of way, and although he
was greatly benefited in his work,
he is mighty glad to be back among
friends.

ternoon. Lester left here April
90. 1918. going to Camp Dodge and
three weeks later was sent to Camp
Travis, Texas. June goth they
started overseas, landing at Liver
pool July LIST. He saw plenty of
service from the middle of July UNI
til the signing of the armistice in
November and during that time he
spent a couple of months in hospi-
tai being injured by the explosion of
a hand grenade. He was with. the
army of occupation in Germany for
a while and started for America May
9th. They landed at Newport
News, Va, June 9Th. Private

IN HOSPITAL EIGHT MONTHS

John p. Nelson, a half brother of
Chris Hermansen, who worked on a
farm west of town when the war
broke out and spent two years in the
service, came back home Tuesday.
Mr.. Nelson was above the draft age,
but felt that he should go in defense
of Old Glory just the same, conse-
quently he went to Omaha where he
enlisted November Is, 1917. The
following February he was sent to
France where he was a member OF
Company ID, First Gas Regiment. He
was gassed in the Argonne drive af-
ter several days severe lighting and
spent eight months in the hospital
lingering between life and death. Al
ter he recovered sufficiently to be
sent to rest camp, he was fortunate
enough to join his original company
and came with them to the United
States, arriving at Newport News,
Va, May 31st.
Mr.. Nelson's work was much diff
ferent from many of the others who
left Audubon county. His company
usually followed between the first
and second lines. started the gas and
smoke waves, and followed up the
first dash of the infantry. 1t was in
the Argonne where he was gassed.
The first day of the drive a number
of his company were killed and he
with others were in danger of being
captured. but after several hours OF
terrific fighting the 18th came to
their rescue and released them from
that danger. Mr.. Nelson said when
the Hun replied to the first wave OF
smoke on July Goth, the ground five
minutes afterward was so thickly
covered by shrapnel and other art
icles of destruction, that 1t was i'm
possible to see 1t. How we ever
escaped is mystery. but after we
started the ball rolling we were de-
termined to finish the Job and by
night the boche was making tracks
for Berlin" said Mr.. Nelson. That
Argonne fight I'll never forges" said
he, "but what's the use of talking,
we did fine job Of 1t and I'm glad
to be back home"
Mr.. Nelson will visit with num-
Der of friends west of town for q
while and may decided to remain un-
til fall

caught fire from a spark while he
was drilling into casting under a
big car. The gasoline was re-
moved from the tank before 1t ex-
ploded. or the damage might have
been greater. Lars was lying on

DAYLIGHT LAW is KILLED

Doom of the daylight saving law,
inaugurated as a war measure, was
pronounced Wednesday by congress.
both senate and house adopting by
overwhelming votes measures to ter
inmate operation of the act when the
period of summer time ends October
26th.
The house by vote of 2S3 to 1872.
passed bill to repeal the law on the
last Sunday in next October but re-
jected an amendment to make the re-
peal effective at once.
The senate by a vote OF Sc to s.
added rider to the agricultural APP
preparation bill providing for repeal
of the daylight measure on the same
date fixed by the house bill.
The senate measure now goes to
conference with the agricultural bill
and the house bill is to be sent to the
senate. 1t is considered likely that
senate amendments will be finally
substituted for the house measure.
Members of both senate and house
in advocating repeal of the law en-
acted March 10. 1918. said they were
guided largely by wishes of farmers
aud laboring men who oppose the ad.
vanced working hours during the
spring and summer season. 0ppon-
ents of the repeal legislation declared
the extra hour of daylight was a
others could easily adjust their af.
fairs to conform TO the advanced
clock schedule.

Germany spending the winter at
Dhron, which Is about 80 miles from
goth and landed in New York June
7th. They went TO Camp Merritt
and then to Camp Dodge where he
received his honorable discharge on
Monday afternoon.
Percy had all kinds of experiences
but came through without a scratch.
He says the people of Germany treat
the American soldiers with great
deal of respect, and in fact regret to
see them leave the country. The
Germans retain their old hatred for
the English and French.
Percy Is going to stay here a few
weeks to rest up and get used to
civilian life by degrees but hopes to
get back to farming before fall. He
is hale and hearty and looks as
though army life agreed with him.

he took John Martinsen. son Lake
and George Alt to show them the
country. They were quite well
pleased with the prospects although
they did not buy any land at this

Crop conditions are good and they be-
lieve the man who is starting out

nothing to lose During the past

FLAG DAY PROGRAM

In accordance with the proclama-
ton of Governor Harding. Audubon
observed Flag Day last Saturday.
Flags were out all day and in the
evening a short program was given
in the park Mrs. ]. r. Chandler
had charge of the program. The
opening number was by the Audu-
bon Concert Band after which Mrs.
George B. Scott sang a patriotic mum
Der. Bernice Crocker gave a reei-
tation and then Mrs. Martin Kjer
sang a patriotic solo. Rev. Chas.
Lang made a short address. A
large crowd gathered to hear the ex-
ercises, all of which was timely and
good.
Some annoyance was occasioned
by the boys shooting fire crackers in
and near the park. The mayor was
in the audience and saw that the
nuisance was abandoned in the park
while the speaking was going on.
The boys were just little careless
about the matter and did not intend
to disturb the meeting.
