F.aitToRY BRINGS HONOR
TO CITY OF AUDUBON

The one .9Glt industry of Audi
LON haG SlDusht honor and distinc-
ton to aiSslf and the city. This be-
came known last week when Ed r.
Johnson and r. ]. Loveland, owners
of the Audubon Canning Co., attend
ed the State Gamers meeting at Ce-
dar Rapids. At this yearly meet
ing some fifty odd canning Industries
of the state are represented and
each one of them has on exhibition
two sample cans of corn from their
latest pack Each year Audubon
has been represented and each time
they made a good showing but it
was not until this year that they
were awarded the highest honors,
carrying OFF the blue ribbon. In
fact both first and second places were
awarded to Audubon. but the rules
of the organization do not permit the
awarding of two prizes to any one
concern.
This distinction is eagerly sought
by all canning companies and mas
much as the competition this year
was greater han in previous years,
the owners of the local factory have
every reason to be proud of the rec
ognition they received. The award
was made on the sxtra standard
quality and based az color, consist
ency. sweetness and cleanliness. The
judges IN this contest ,ere men who
are widely known. one being an ex-
pert from Minnesota, one from Illi-
nos t-nd the third being the chief of
the Iowl inspection service.
During l. entire canning season
two carple7 corn were sent daily
to Ames for -pection and the sam
Piles sent from mere were the talk of
the entire advisory board for each
days sample was consistently regu-
lar in quality.
The people of Audubon are pleased
to know that the local factory has
won this high honor. Nj. Ioveland
has been in the canning bus ness a
good many gears and we I'VE all
come to regard him as > who
thoroughly up nrstood his business.
The award tn year only confirms
what has long been regarded as the
truth.
Audubon corn always finds a ready
sale on the market, most of il going
to Los Angeles, California and
great deal to Chicago for the eastern
trade

QUITTING AT 4:so p. NJ.

All of which reminds us of a re-
mark made the other day by an Au-
dubon woman. She had a man do
ing some work at her house. Prompt
ly at 4:30 p. m, he quit his work,
put on his hat and prepared to leave.
This is mighty nice house you
have" said the man as he started
for the door. Yes, it is" was the
woman's answer. "But ] am sure
we never could have it if my husband
quit at 4:30." And Just as this
woman couldn't have had her mice
house" If her husband quit work at
4:30, neither can the world have
nice thingsSif 1t quits work at 4:30.
This is especially true of America.
In this country we have the highest
standard of living of any nation in
the world. II we wish to maintain
this Standard we have got to work
for il. There is no other way
about II We probably could exist
I'm a sort of cave man fashion on a
national six hour day, but we never
could maintain our present stand
ard of living. The necessities and
comforts of life have to be produced
by toll, not by wishing for them.
Perhaps it's unfortunate. but is the
law of the universe and so far no
man has found way to change it.
Just az surely as we decrease our
working hours, we cut down in pro-
ductlon and that means a lower
standard of living. II we want
nice things we have 10 pay the price
and the price is work

SOLDIER BOYS COMING
NEXT THURSDAY NIGHT

1t has been predicted that we AM
orleans would soon tire of the stories
of the great war and our returned
soldiers would be lost sight of in the
throng The prediction is false for
we still enjoy the "reminiscences of
our boys and respect and honor them
for what they did for us.
There have been many returned
soldier organizations touring our
country during recent years, most of
them just telling their war expert
ences. We are TO have one of these
soldier companies as the third num-
Der on the lecture course at the Pres
byterian church next Thursday, but
they are a company of trained singers
giving male quartette program as
well as a dramatic sketch of trench
life. The sketch is written by Oh
i've Kackley and Is the most truthful
Characterization of the American SOL
dfer to be seen on the platform. They
not only hope to command your re-
spect and admiration as soldiers that
have served their country overseas,
but to entertain you most royalty
with their vocal numbers and sketch.
Ours was a singing army and while
much is to be said there is great
part to be sung. 1t is the story in
song that the War Players and Sing
ers will present The selection of
personnel was made on the merit OF
the voices to blend beautifully. For
getting that they, are soldiers, they
will win your admiration as a male
quartette.
Please do not mistake this COM
pany for an organization travelling
on their reputation as overseas SOL
diers. They are trained musicians
offering an evening Of music that will
please the music lovers of Audubon.

COAL SITUATION
GREATLY RELIEVED
TWO CARS OF COAL REACHED
AUDUBON YESTERDAY TO
HELP THE DISTRESSED

The coal situation in Audubon was
greatly relieved yesterday when two
car loads of coal we're received, one
of hard coal and one of soft coal.
This is the first coal to reach here in
more than q week, none of the three
dealers having a pound of coal on
hand when the strike took effect the
first of November.
Not until Tuesday did any one
suffer from the shortage of fuel.
Fuel Administrator G.. G.. Carter was
able to secure few loads of coal
that was taken to homes where the
supply was completely exhausted.
Now that the two cars have arrived
there is sufficient supply to last
perhaps a week.
No coal is being delivered without
an order from Mr.. Carter. He got
into communication with Mr.. Web
ster, the state fuel administrator,
and informed him of our extreme
condition. He promised relief and
sent the car of soft coal from Car
roll yesterday.
For time 1t was thought that the
churches and public schools would
have to close, but this will not be
done until 1t is absolutely necessary.
Now that the strike has been call
ed off, 1t is hoped that coal in tran
sit to Audubon will reach its destina-
ton, and IL it does, we will have
plenty to tide us over.
At meeting of the Commercial
Club Monday night 1t was decided to
purchase 200 cords of wood in the
south part of the county to provide
fuel for the needy. A committee
has the matter in hand and il neces-
sary will take steps to have the wood
brought to Audubon.
In an interview with Mr.. Carter
this morning he stated that he felt
greatly relieved and hoped that the
condition would improve. He has 1t
from good authority that small
quantity of coal will be supplied to
Audubon in case of stringency.

THE WAY I FEEL ABOUT 1T

An undertaken never hurries.

that will always wait for him.
II you think the world is grow

you are. and that's worth while.
What's funnier than a group of
they are prominent?
II you can't "get along with
those about you, chances are that
they can get along very well with
out you.
The greatest unorganized craft is
the face painters.
A good looking girl doesn't worry
when other women call her a flirt
because she knows it's true and that
they are envious.
Any husband wishes he had as
much influence with his wife as the
family doctor has.
We've said It several times be-
fore In one form or another but 1t
will bear much repetition: 1t
doesn't matter what others say
about you unless il agrees with
what you know about yourself.
You may have self-respect and be
careless about your personal appear
ance but others are not so likely to
respect you.
It's mighty good thing that a
lot of folks are able to lay up treas
ures in heaven for the wolf keeps
after them so hard that they never
seem to be able to lay up any here.
An optimist Is one who consoles
himself by saying cheerily, 20, we'll,

Some say there are only seven
jokes in all the world but there
really is only one-the joke that's
on somebody else.
Everybody Is gossip. but some
are bigger gossips than others.
Not only is the way of the trans
gressor hard, but the way OF the
righteous isn't always soft.

BUSINESS CHANGE in EXTRA

Ed Cotton, who for many years
has conducted a mercantile business
in Extra yesterday sold the dry
goods and grocery departments to J.
s. Small of this city, together with
the handsome new building which
was built two years ago. Mr.. Cot
ton retains the clothing department,
but will in all probability dispose of
1t soon as he desires to go to Cali
fornia where his wife and children
are. One son is not expected to
live and the other one is in poor
health.
Mr.. Cotton has long been recog-
nized as Extras merchant prince.
He is everywhere regarded as a
shrewd business man, but always
kind and obliging. He will no doubt
be missed from the business circles
of our sister city. All trust that
he will find his family improving In
health and that they may soon return
to their old home town.
We can heartily commend Mr..
Small to the people of Extra. !, He
is an energetic, wide awake business
man and will conduct store that
will be credit to the town of Extra.
He is in every sense of the word an
deserving successor to Mr.. Cotton.
We are sorry to lose them as resi-
dents of Audubon. but our loss will
certainly be their gain.
