YOUNG MAN ALMOST MOBBED

That Tom Finnerty and family are
able this week to move to their new
farm near Manning is fortunate.
Friday night last about SO neighbors
and friends called at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Finnerty Just east of Audu-
bon and almost mobbed Tom. but
treated the wife and children with
more consideration. The calling of
such a mob at one time was to spring
surprise on the Finnerty family
and to say that it was a success,
would be puttingit mildly. 1t was
only last week that the family were
rendered a farewell party and they
wre not looking for another turnout
SO soon. However, Tom and his
good wife we're equal to the occasion
and made the unlimited guests well
come. Refreshments were served.
after which music was In order and
the young folks made merry, dancing
until the early morning hours. The
night was an enjoyable one for all
and will long be remembered by
those present.

RABBITS ARE HERE

Rabbits have begun to come into
the market. They are retailing at
20 cents each. Some of them are
worth the price-those in good condi-
tion. Careless hunters who spatter
the entire rabbit landscape with shot
make the product of their efforts less
edible and higher priced so far as
relation of goods to price is concern
ed. The heavy snow helped the
hutners and on one farm close to
town a farmer said he saw seven
men hunting on New Years day
Luckily, everyone. cattle and all,
managed to escape the fusilade of
shots that ensued when a rabbit bob
bed his tail over the corn field.

PURE BRED HOGS ARE
CLaSSED AS PRIVAE STOCK

More than 10000 boys and girls in
the United States are enrolled in pig
clubs organized and conducted by
the United States Department of
Agriculture and State Department of
Agricultural colleges, and II percent
of the reporting members raise pure
breu pigs. The juvenile wisdom dis
played is supported by records show
ing that more than 5000 nigs made
an average daily gain OF ia pounds
in weight, which is considerably
above results obtained on most farms
Pig clubs, now established in %
states. are believed to have such a
beneficial effect on the swine indus
try of the country that the Depart
ment OF Agriculture has assigned 40
specialists to foster their further de
velopment.

COFFEE MAY ADVANCE

Coffee is expected to advance
again soon. It is claimed that the
Brazilian government has about o.
100000 bags of coffee on hands
which through financial assistance 1t
has managed to hold and TO release
at its pleasure. This monopoly and
shipping shortage held the whole
salers here down to comparatively
small stocks. 1t is thought that the
price will advance anywhere from
10 to SO percent when 1t starts up
ward.

FLU" FAILING ALL OV-
Err AUDUBON COUNTY

That the decrease in the number of
Influenza cases is not merely a local
symptom seems assured. Reports
all over the county indicate the dis
ease is on the wane. The county
superintendent of schools, Miss Ella
M. Stearns, says the school districts
in the county which have reported,
show no cases. One physician of Au-
dubon stated Friday that he had not
a single case. Others had told him
that they likewise had no "fiu" bus
iness. In this city there have been
but one or two cases lately, less than
one each day. The country schools.
like those Of the city, opened their
doors and got down to regular work.
