CAPTAIN FORsBECK HOME

Capt. c. ID. Forsbeck after two
years in the service and 13 months
of which was spent overseas, return
ed to the United States from France
July 3rd, landing at Norfolk, Va.
He accompanied 1000 colored men
and returned them to camps at At
lanta, Ca, Birmingham, Alabama
and New Orleans. He secured a
fifteen day furlough and arrived at
Gray Saturday for visit with his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. A. G. Fors-
beck.
Capt. Forsbeck was In the en-
cheering corps, having charge of the
525th Engineers. He was promoted
from time to time and received a
captaincy. He will be sent to
Camp Dodge in a short time for his
honorable discharge.
Mr.. Forsbeck was county engineer
for this county for period of three
years. He went from here to Mont
gomery county where he was elected
county engineer and was serving in
that capacity when the war broke
out. He went to Red Oak yesterday
to make arrangements to again take
up the work as the board OF super
visors of that county have held the
place open for him.
The captain looks fine and says
that he got along splendidly save for
the accident that befell him the first
week he was in France. While I'M
loading American locomotives at the
docks, q cable broke which struck
and injured him, causing him to be
taken to hospital where 1t took
six weeks to recover.
He said that practically all OF his
time was spent in reconstruction
work, and since the signing OF the ar
mistice he was in the vicinity OF
Metz until the time he sailed for

SEVERAL KILLED IN
WASHINGTON RACE RIOT

With five persons dead, eleven
possibly dying and scores injured in
race battles on the streets OF Wash
ington, ID. c., during the last three
nights, every precaution short OF
martial law has been taken by police
and military provost guards to pre-
vent q recurrence of rioting that
came as an outgrowth of numerous
assaults on white women and other
recent acts of violence by negroes.
There were no disorders during
the day, but at nightfall, police and
troops, supplemented by additional
detachments of regulars from Camp
Meade and marines from Quantico,
Va, took up their stations in grim
preparation for what the hours OF
darkness might bring.
A statement issued by govern
ment authorities denied that the sit
nation had been out of hand at any
time when riot calls were sounding
from half n dozen places at time.
The authorities also decided not to
ask martial law be declared, al
though resolutions introduced In the
house during the day urged that
the president be requested to take
that action.

CHAUTAUQUA FOR NEXT YEAR

A special meeting Of the CONNER
cial Club was held in the X. p. hall
this morning at 900 o'clock to meet
Mr.. Graham, the platform manager
and to discuss with him the matter
of a Chatutauqua for next year. A
goodly number of the members were
present and the Chautauqua was dis
cussed from all points of view. Au-
dubon was one of the first towns in
the state to take up the Chautauqua
and the Chautauqua has become a
part of our community life,
Practically all of those present
were in favor of the Chautauqua for
1920. Audubon is called upon to
guarantee the sale of I'll season
tickets to be sold at $2.25 each. This
is raise of Csc over past years.
There will be no increase in the price
of the children's tickets.
1t is quite probable that the peo-
pie will be asked to subscribe for
tickets before the close OF the
present session as they have done in
past years, and If this is done 1t will
be announced at the big tent.

eating here. arrived in the city yes
terday, having decided to locate per-
manently. Mr.. Ryan is an attor-
ney and as soon as he can get suit
able rooms will open his office. 1t

rooms over Wilson's dry goods store,
just vacated by DR.. Matthias. Mr..
Ryan recently returned from France
where he saw almost a years serv-
ice. He was a lieutenant with the
SSth. He was recently married in

HENRY FORD ON EXHIBITION

The United States witnessed q
spectacle yesterday. 1t saw a man
of vast wealth and who had once
been Commanded" by a president of
this nation to run for the United
States Senate, confess deliberately
that he considers history bunk. .
and has mo use" for music and 9TH
er arts and asserts his conviction
that soldiers are murderers. Cen
eral Pershing and all professional
soldiers were specially included in
the indictment as "murderers.
Mr.. Ford's ignorance was on dis
play. Asked IL he knew the cause
of the war OF 1912. he confessed that
he did not. He beneved that the
civil war was over slavery and that
the Spanish war was ''to free Cuba !"
When the attorney cranked him Mr..
Ford turned over historically and
popped But he didn't run. He
spanked all right but his tank was
empty.
Mr.. Ford has been quite volumin-
Gus as an author. His monographs
on one thing and another have been
quoted freely. However. this trial
brings out through Ford's evidence
that he didn't write those personal
views" of his. A hired man wrote
them.
One thing Mr.. Ford knows. We
have ii through the assertion of his
attorney that he knows every nut
and bolt in his automobile.
That is an excellent equipment for
repair man and most convenient
knowledge for those who drive jit-
neys to possess. But crediting Mr..
Ford with that and debiting him
with utter ignorance of the history
of this country and others and the
relationships of one to another,
while II Is readily seen that Ford
would be handy man about a serv-
ice station II is not evident that he
should be a leader In governmental
affairo and senator of the United
States by command"
The conclusion forced by Mr.. Ford
himself through the recent years is
that he Is 4 successful manufacturer
grown intensely wealthy and, like
the cobbler who was advised to stick
to his last should stick by the nuts
and bolts that go to make up his lit

BURGLAR LEAVES
BLOOD AS CLUE
ROBBED DRAWER Ar MILL OF
SMALL SUM BUT FAILED TO
OPEN THE OFFICE SAFE

A burglar robbed the cash drawer
at the Office of the Audubon Milling
Company last Sunday. He gained
entrance to the building by breaking
the glass in the door and inserting
his arm to unlock the Yale lock. He
did not modest the safe but took the
card off on which the combination
was written. The work of the bur-
glar was so coarse that the county
officials have reason to believe the
work was done by local talent.
The person who entered the
building left unmistakable evidence
of his presence. In breaking the
glass, the man evidently received a
severe cut as there was a large pool
of blood outside the door and blood
was spattered In the office and out
on the sidewalk. Blood stains were
on the desk and safe.
The discovery was made by Mrs.
Vern Culver who went to the mill
early Monday morning to get some
chicken feed. She went into the
office to see what had been going on
and found that the place had been
ransacked. A handkerchief satur-
ated with blood was found On the
floor. Mrs. Culver Immediately in
formed her husband who with Frank
Gronert made a close search OF the
place after notifying the sheriff.
II was decided to secure blood
hounds from Des Moines and If pos
sible trail the robber. Mr.. Wilson
at once communicated with parties
in Des Moines and made arrange
ments for the dogs. The keeper
and the dogs arrived on the scene
about three o'clock in the afternoon
but they were unable to scent trail.
The dogs went to the johnson Grain
Cos coal sheds, but were unable to
get trail.
1t is quite likely that after the
burglar left the mill he entered a
waiting automobile and made good
his escape.
Since the burglary was committed
money with blood stains has been in
circulation. This together with
other evidence has given the sher-
iff a clue on which to work. The
chain of evidence is getting stronger
and we would not be surprised IL ar
rests would be made In few days
The owners of the mill are deter
mined to apprehend the guilty party
if possible and are giving the county
officials all the assistance possible
II the work was done by local par
ties they will be discovered, but IL II
was done by outsiders, the work OF
ferriting out the matter is going To
be more difficult.

Harry Phillips, Bill Jones and
Uncle Josh" Best, the tailor and his
son departed the fore part of the
week for fishing trip over on mid
die Coon river near Jefferson where
they expected to remain for several

but took no meat. expecting to catch
enough fish to feed them and bring
some home to their friends. Word
from them Wednesday evening was

They sent word home Wednesday to
have a truck come after them so
their friends are eagerly awaiting

AUTO BANDITS OPERATED
ON EXTENSIVE SCALE

Operations of automobile bandits
over an area of three states, and
with an organization as perfect as
that of any business enterprise, is
revealed in the confessions of MEM
bers of the old Sioux City gang now
serving terms in the penitentiary at
Fort Madison, Attorney General Hay
ner announced recently.
One man told state agents of a
clearing house for stolen cars, where
records were made and license num-
bers of cars brought in, and also of
alterations in the numbers prepare
tory to the sale of the cars.
More than 40 cars were sold at
public auction at washington, s. D.,
recently, the attorney general stated
and every one was found to have a
defaced engine number.
In an effort to combat the organi-
cation, meeting of every sheriff in
Iowa, together with the state police
of Nebraska and South Dakota, will
be called in Des Moines by Attorney
General Havner early in August.

AMERICAN LEGION
TO Be ORGANIZED
AUDUBON COUNTY TO HAVE OR
GANIZATION OF RETURNED
SOLDIERS OF LATE WAR

For several weeks past there has
been an effort made to organize an
American Legion IN Audubon coun-
ty by the returned soldiers of the
World War. Three different meet
ings had been called but not a suf-
ficient number responded to get the
matter started. 1t was not until
Thursday night of last week that
definite steps were taken.
Twenty-one returned soldiers and
sailors met to organize and the fol-
lowing temporary officers were
chosen: Hoger Jensen, post COM
mander; Leonard Reese, vice-post
commander; Glenn Turner, post adj
jutant; Harry Lautender, post fin
ance officer and Pete Dennis, post
historian. The membership fee is
81 and this amount was paid in by
all who attended the meeting and
sufficient names were secured to
warrant a charter for the post. The
charter must be secured from the
national headquarters in New York.
The movement to organize a national
society of the veterans of the worlu
war originated overseas when on
March Is, 1919, a caucus of APP
proximately 1000 American soldiers
met in Paris. A committee was
there and then appointed to work
with a like committee in America
and the work of organizing there be-
gun to eliminate in a national con-
vention to be held in Minneapolis on
November IL, 1919.
The purpose of the organization is
to uphold and defend the constitu-
tion of the United States of America;
to maintain law and order: to foster
and perpetuate a one hundred per-
cent Americanism; to preserve the
memories and incidents of our as.
ISOLATION in the great war. to inocu-
late a sense of individual obligation
to the community, state and nation;
to combat the autocracy of both the
classes and the masses: to make
right the master of might; to pro-
mote peace and good will Ion earth
to safeguard and transmit to poster
ity the principles of justice. freedom
and democracy; to consecrate and
sanctify our comradeship by our de-
votion to mutual helpfulness.
All persons are eligible to mem
bership who hold an honorable dis
cnoi SO hon th0 i'ico anu "ho al
100 percent American.
Another meeting of the Post was
held last night at which the tempo.
rary officers were made permanent
The name of the post was also de-
cided upon and it will hereafter be
known as Audubon Post American
Legion.
The men who attended last might
were very enthusiastic about the
Post and already 32 members have
been enrolled. 1t is quite prob
able that within the next month the
membership will be increased to
$50.

CLOSE IN AFTERNOONS

Practically all of the business
house and offices have been closed
from $3.50 to 1880 every afternoon
the past week to enable the. pro-
prietors and the clerks to attend the
Chautauqua. Some of the stores
remained open last night in order to
accommodate the farmers who are
unable to get to town during the
day time. In fact some of the
stores will be open every Wednesday
night during the busy season.
Johnson's grocery will remain
open every night, so there is no
reason why people trading in Audi
bon cannot get the accommodations

HOME PRESERVATION OF EGGS

At this season of the year. when
the price of eggs is low, the thought
comes into many peoples minds:
Shall we put down some eggs for
winter use? There is no question
but that fall and winter eggs are
going to be high in price. Just
how high. no one knows. but 1t Is
safe to say that one can afford to
preserve a few eggs for home use II
the right methods are followed.
A few important things to take
into consideration are: First, be
sure that the eggs are fresh. Do
not take anyone's word for 1t, but
candle them yourself. II you can
not candle them, have II done by
an expert GAMBLER and only the fresh
and clean eggs that show no signs
of heat be put down. Second, IL
possible, secure eggs that are known
to be infertile, as they are not SO
apt to spoil during warm weather.
Third, provide a cool dry well ven-
tilated place for storing the eggs.
Fourth, use a well known preserv-
alive, such as lime water solution,
lime and salt. or water glass.
For a standard solution of water
glass. use one part of water glass
to 10 parts of cool, boiled water.
Slack three pounds of good quick
lime and a small amount of water
and add the milk of lime thus form
ed to three gallons of water. Keep
the mixture we'll stirred for day.
then allow the excess lime to set
tie and use only the clear liquid.
A suitab contained is an earthen
Jar for either the water glass or
lime water. Caution should be taxi
en- for at least two inches of liquid
to be above the tops of the eggs.
The Jar may be sealed or kept COW
c-ed tightly.
