FIRE DOES MUCH DAMAGE

L. e. Tramp and family who have
been at Creston the past three weeks
looking after business affairs while
his brother, Harry Tramp has been
enjoying an outing at the lakes in
Wisconsin, returned to their home in
Audubon Friday evening.
1t will be remembered that the
Tramp boys started large brick
and tile plant in Creston about %
years ago. At the present time it is
one of the largest plants in the
state. Last Wednesday just at
noon fire was discovered in a cupa-
10 of the main drier. This build
ing was 50x140 feet, two stories
high and equipped With all the latest
machinery for drying purposes. The
fire had made such Roadway when
discovered that it had gotten beyond
control. In a few hours. time the
building was a total loss, which is
estimate dat $4,000, partially COW
eerd by insurance.
The Tramp boys are an enthusi-
astic, hustling set of men and lit
tie misfortune of this kind does not
dampen their enthusiasm. Ar
rangements have already been made
to rebuild, and it is thought that the
plant will be kept in running order.

PRESIDENT WILSON RESPON-
SIBLE IFOR INEFFTCIENCY

Defenders df President Wilson
have undertaken to appease the
public wrath by representing that
the public service in the various de-
partments at Washington "deterior-
ated during his Absence" owing to
incompetence or the lack of coop
dination. AS matter of fact, pub
lice service was at as low an ebb as
could welr be at the time of the
presidents departure. If compe-
tent and experienced men had been
at the heads of departments, there
might easily have been improvement
during the presidents absence, for,
as is well known, none of the de-
partment heads has felt free to act
on his own judgment and initiative
while the president was at home.
Any mater of Importance had to be
submitted to the president for his
approval before action could be TAX
en-. Men of affairs realize that if
members of the cabinet had been
men of both ability and courage,
they could have taken advantage of
the presidents absence to put their
departments on an efficiency basis.
AS it is, however the effort to re-
lieve the president of responsibility
for waste extravaganza and met
ficiency will evidently fail, for the
president chose the men who con-
duct the business of the govern
ment and they have conducted in
during his absence much as they
did when he was here.

PEOPLE SURPRISE PASTOR
AT KIMBALLTON

A large number of friends and
parishoniers gathered at the Rev. c..
c. Kloth home last Friday as a
surprise party on this popular
clergyman. 1t was Rev. Kloth's
45th birthday, and the many
friends who took him by a complete
surprise found it necessary to move
to the college chapel as the home
was not large enough to accommo-
date all. Rev. Jensen of the Be-
thania church and Rev. Mathisen of
the orphan home both made appro-
pirate speeches and several songs
were sung, after which coffee and
cake was served by the ladies in the
party, who had brought an abund-
ance of good things to eat.
Mr.. Kloth was presented a sum of
money as token of the esteem and
love he has in everyone's heart. 1t
was a late hour when all had parted
and a most pleasant time was had
by all present.-Kimballto Record.

ROBBERY FOILED
In TENTH INNING
MANNING UMPIRE & CO., TRIES
TO TAKE GAME BY FOUL
MEANS-NOT BY FAIR

The Manning ten, nine players
and the umpire, tangled with the
home team at Johnson's ball park
Sunday in what, for nine innings,
was very nicely played game. But
in the first half of the tenth came
the fireworks. And to- give the
battle by innings, it happened thus
ly: Manning got first blood in the
first inning when Kuhl, second man
up for the visitors, was given a base
on balls and scored on hit by Ben
ming. Audubon failed to score in
their half as did the visitors in the
second but in this inning was when
business picked up for the home
team which started when Kline up
with one man down was given a base
on balls and scored on a hit by
Kelly who also maze the round trip
safely putting Audubon in the lead
by one score. The game then set
tied down to a pitchers battle with
the odds in favor of Audubon until
the last half of the eighth when Au-
dubon increased their lead by add
ing another when Petersen's third
hit of the game scored Kline. In
the ninth inning Manning made a
last ditch rally when Benning, first
man up for the visitors, singled,
Puck and Edmundson the next two
men were retired by the strikeout
route, then Gender, the redoubtable
pinch hitter was given a base on
balls and Weisman smacked a two
base hit over second scoring Ben
ming and Gender, tying the count.
Audubon failed to score in their
half of the ninth and then came the
attempted burglary. Free reached
first on an error and with one down
attempted to score on a ground ball
hit to Metre who threw him out at
home plate by ten feet. Kline tag
ged him three times for good meas
ure and then threw to second to
catch Kuhl. Benning, the Manning
umpire. must have been figuring on
lifting a mortgage on the old home
place with the winners share of the
gate receipts, that being as good an
excuse as any and we do not want to
be sent to the penitentiary for life
for telling our real opinoin OF him.
We will-let it go at that, but to make
a long story short he had the bad
Judgment to call the runner safe and
that broke up the game. Manager
Gronert called the game and the Of
fetal ending showed the score to be
tied three to three. We wish to say
that we are heartily in favor of the
action taken by the home players
and that is the first time this sea-
son that the home boys have refused
to take an umpire's decision, no
matter how rank it happened to be.
But there must be dividing line
somewhere and no ball team with
any self respect is going to allow
deal that smells to high heaven as
that one did to be pulled off on
them. We, believe that if the Man
ming manager had been a real
sportsman he would have reversed
the decision and finished the game.
Audubon meets Guthrie Center on
the home grounds today in honor "
the Soldiers and Sailors Homecom'
ing. This promises to be a real
ball game and large attendance is
desired.

WILL INVESTIGATE RAISE
IN FARM LAND VALUES

The latest development OF the
high cost of living war is the arriv-
al Of DR.. l.. c. Gray, chief OF the
division of farm economics of the
department OF agriculture at Wash
ington, to organize a survey of the
state with particular reference to
the present land boom.
He called on several officials at
the state house last week to obtain
information relative to land vaiua-
tloIs.
High priced land, and cons eqUent
high rentals, are the direct result of
abnormal living costs, and not the
other way around, according To the
popular impression, DR.. Gray says.
He picked Iowa as a strating point
because, he says, this seems to be
the storm center of inflated land
values.
Although DIR. Gray himselfreturn-
ed to Washington a staff of three
men working under his direction
will make a thorough survey of the
state in an effort to learn what
class of land is being sold, whether
to tenants or absent owners, and
OluST Oh bhO oltuo
ton from an agricultural stand
point. Two other men will later
make survey to determine the
earning power of average Iowa
farms. Upon these figures will be
based conclusions which may be-
come the foundation for campaign
of publicity relative to high priced
land, DR.. Gray stated. -
THE rental of land or its price
has but little bearing on the cost of
its products" he explained in re-
spouse to a question.
prices are not controlled by rem
tails. Rentals are controlled by
prices"
The sudden boom in land is not
confined to Iowa, according to the
doctors information. 1t is preva-
lent equally in central Illinois,
northern Missouri and throughout
the entire middle west, with the
possible exception of southern Wis
consin and other scattered areas.

FARM BUREAU A GOOD THING

With so many farm bureaus or
ganized and active now the object
of each and everyone is to arouse in
terest and enthusiasm among the
farmers of the counties in the serv-
ice they can obtain from the farm
bureaus. A farm bureau will serve
it's purpose only when supported by
every Trainer in the county, and by
support is meant interest. The OBJ
ject of the bureau is to serve, to aid
and to promote or boost 1t is not
to tell the farmer how to do thingsi
but to tel, and show him how Others
do things, to be his daily bulletin
on what is taking place in farming,
breeding and community work. II
is source of reference and service
and is successful when the mem
bers are individually as interested
| as the county agent himself.

. THE PAN MOTOR COMPANY

Thousands of persons who saved
up money at great sacrifice and now
apparently have lost every cent of
their Investment" are interested in
the complaint filed recently by the
federal trade commission against
the Pan Motor Co., and its president
Samuel C. Pandolfo.
The concern and its president,
the complaint says, according to the
belief of the commission, has taken
in $4,723,S11.69 from the sale of
stock from January, 1917 to Febru-
airy 2S, 1919. There were $4,000
recorded subscribers to the stock of
which $4,000 had fully paid their
subscription. Up to September,
1918. the complaint says, $1,156,-
667.53 of their subscriptions had
gone to statesmen as commissions,
and $553,750.3O had been paid to
Pandolfo as commissions and for
alleged services"
And the company, promoted to
manufacture" automobiles, had
merely assembled" some 200 ma
chimes, the complaint points out.
This is, unfortunately. familiar
experience to those unwise people
who take a chance" with their
money. Instead of the enormous
profits" which glib statesmen prom
ised them, they have nothing but a
bitter heartache and a pretty GER
tifcate. The only investor who
never lost a nickel of his money is
the man who bought nothing but
United States Government securi-
ties. They are always good and in
the case of War Savings Stamps, are
always worth more than you paid
for them. They pay the high in
terest rate of 4 percent compounded
quarterly.
