CHAUTAUOUA

A committee was appointed by
the Commercial Club at its last
meeting to arrange for Chautau-
qua for the present year. The COM
mittee is busy now in the interest
of the town and country and held
their first meeting last evening.
We are all interested in a pro-
gram different from that the every
day life affords and will appreciate
an entertainment that takes -us
away from the humdrum of the
present.
The last two Chautauquas have
been very successful ones, in pa
tronage, management and finance,
and considering conditions we don't
see why we cannot have one of the
best we have had for years. The
war is over and everyone is encour.

RESIDENCE BURNED
The residence of Mr.. and Mrs

The residence Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Claus Wilson Of Greeley township,
burned to the ground, Sunday last,
while the family was visiting in
town at the home Of her mother,
Mrs. Baiers. The fire was discov-
cred by some neighbors, who
turned their attention to saving
what furniture they could, which
was but a few pieces. The loss of
the home at this time of the year
is a serious one and we certainly
sympathize with Mr.. Wilson and
wife.

FARM BUREAU NET
At AUDUBON, FRIDAY

About fifty farmers met at the
annual meeting of the Audubon
County Farm Bureau held at the
Court House Friday afternoon.
After the election of Off
GERS and the report Of the Secretary
Treasurer and County Agent, Mr..
Grant Chapman Of Bagley, Iowa,
now Assistant State Leader of Co.
Agents, gave very interesting and
worth while address. In Mr.. Chap
mans talk he told of his experien-
ces as Agricultural Advisor to the
Exemption Board of the Southern
Districts. Among other things he
said, "The entire proposition can
not be handled by the Co. Agents
alone. Cooperation is absolutely
essential if the farmer is to be bene-
fitted to the fullest extent. You
have a County Agent here, con-
tinued Mr.. Chapman "that is doing
all he can for the interests of the
farmers in Audubon County but
the efficiency Of his work and the
good to be derived from it depends
very largely upon the help he re-
ceives from the. farmers themselves.
Several members of the Farm Bu-
reau present spoke Of the good that
they had received from the Farm
Bureau work. They pointed out
4 in each case that they were bene-
fitted because they applied to the
County Agent for assistance. 1t is
, impossible for him or anyone to
know what any man may want un-
, less. there is cooperation with him.
! The following officers were elected
by the members present:
: E. B. Thomas, President.
John G. Nielsen, Vice-President.
