TO ORGANIZE In AUDUBON
COUNTY FOR BIG DRIVE

A state campaign committee in
Guiding many of the best known
business and professional men in
Iowa will have charge of the coming
service campaign to raise $500 600
for Salvation Army activities in
Iowa, which will be in progress
from September 22 to 80.
DR.. Edwin A. Schell, for nearly a
dozen years president of Iowa Wes-
leyan college at Mt Pleasant, Iowa,
and recently returned from Siberia,
where he saw service as a major in
Red Cross service, is state campaign
director, in charge of organization
work. A complete state organiza-
tion is being perfected, with promi-
nent citizens of each community in
charge.
A representative of the Salvation
Army was in Audubon last FRIDAY
for the purpose of effecting an or
ganiation in Audubon county. This
county has been given a quota Of
$4,000 to raise. This is small
sum and there is no question but
that the people of the county will
subscribe freely TO this fund. A
meeting will be held some time the
fore part of next week to perfect the
county organization. AS in all other
drives. Audubon county will be
found to do her full share.

was sent back to France where he
remained until he started for home.
Ikey said he liked Germany quite
well in fact he said the soldier boys
were well treated in Germany. or
course Ikey said he preferred the
French girls, for practically all OF
them were swell lockers. Just be-
fore leaving France he saw Walter

THIEVES ENTER AND STEAL

Thieves entered the Leake grain
elevator and the Audubon Canning
Co. plants same time between Satur-
day night and Sunday morning.
Walter Roth stated that he thought
10 or more bushels of oats were
missing from the bin. At the
Canning Company some articles OF
value were also missing The
thief or thieves left no clue. How
ever the authorities are keeping a
close eye on some paties and the
guilty one may vet be apprehended.
There is entirely too much OF this
petty stealing going on through the
country. II II continues something

r. C. SPENCER SUCCUMBS TO
THE RAVAGES OF DISEASE

r. G.. Spencer, for almost 20
years editor and publisher of the
Advocate of this city, died in Des
Moines last Friday evening after
an illness extending over a period
of two months.
During the early part of July he
took sick and remained at his home
in this city. For time the attend
ing physicians thought he would re-
cover but he grew gradually worse.
About four weeks ago his mind and
eyesight became affedted. Phys
icallv he seemed to regain his usual
vigor but his mind did not i'm
prove. About ten days ago he
was sent to Hills retreat at Des
Moines where it was hoped that UNI
der special treatment he would re-
cover. We understand his condi-
ton was due to diabetes.
After he had been at the retreat it
became apparent to those attending
him that his case was hopeless so
arrangements were made to take
him elsewhere. change came.
however, on Friday and early in
the evening he passed away.
The deceased, in addition to edit

also postmaster under Wilson's first

SCHOOL OPENS WITH
LARGE ENROLMENT
INCREASED ATTENDANCE IN
HIGH SCHOOL BOOSTS NUM-
BIER OF PUPILS TO 5S5

The Audubon public schools open
ed Monday, September Sth with the
largest enrolment for the beginning
Of the year in the history of the
school. The total enrolment on
Tuesday was 5S5, a clear gain of
AZ over last year. There may be
q few others who will enroll today
or perhaps not until next Monday.
Theer are 379 pupils enrolled in the
grades and 206 in the high school.
The gain OF % over last year in
the high school indicates that the
schools have practically recovered
from war conditions says Supt. Nc
Intire.
The enrolment in the lower
grades is about normal a gain over
last year of 20, and are divided
among the various rooms as fol-
lnUQ.

The work Tor the nrSt week or
school has gone along smoothly and
from all appearances We have a
strong corps of teachers. There is
one additional teacher in the gram
mar department this year, the firth
grade. On account of the crowded
-sondition of the school room sec
ton of the 5th grade is now housed
in the high school building.
No definite arrangements have yet
been made for fall athletics in the
high school but the outlook is excel
lent. Several of the older boys
Who were taken out last year on ac-
count of the war have returned to
school, giving excellent material for
a foot ball team. The young ath-
letes think they can make big go
OF 1t this year and can produce a
team much stronger than last year,
although the team last. year was a
winner. There may not be many
'huskies" in the lineup, but the
boys think that they can make up in
speed and head work what they lack
in weight. The athletics will no
doubt be under the supervision OF
Mr. Noble.
Under the able management of
Supt. McIntire the schools the last
year made rapid progress regardless
of the unforeseen disturbances due
70 war conditions. He has the hap
py faculty of being able to get close
TO the boys and that means lot in a
school the size of Audubon's. He
enters the years work with the
hearty cooperation of the pupils
and their parents which no doubt
will be strengthened as the school
year progresses.

A LARGE GRAPE CROP

One of the largest crops OF grapes
In the history of this part of the
state of Iowa is being harvested this
season and the industry has proven
very satisfactory and remunerative
The good crop this time is ascribed
to moisture Of last year and the
beneficial rains this spring. A year
ago the crop was called short but
this year seems to be one of abund-
ance One man near Council
Bluffs will clear $500 from one and

shipped ou, of Council Bluffs and II
is reported that so more car loads
VIII be shipped this season.
There Is a smaller amount oil
grapes being preserved and put up
this year by the housewife, princi-
pally on account of the scarcity and
high price of sugar. Some are ex-

she arose, she wa given similar
ovation.
President Wilson looked just like
his pictures and wears that happy,
contented smile. He is fine
scholarly gentleman and made a
dignified address which apparently
appealed to the people.
While the address was full OF
catchy phases that caught the ears
of the people, yet We doubt IL 1t was
a convincing talk. An Iowa news
paper man of prominence. and one
well posted on International affairs.
summed up the talk in as concise
a manner as possible in the follow
ing:
intellectually and physically,
President Wilson Is a wonderful
man. He has the springing walk
of an athlete His every motion
manifests physical yigor, backed by
mental alertness. Nothing escapes
him. He takes IL all in.
Saturday night he made a
speech of one hour, He did not
saw the air; he made only a few
gestures with his right arm. There
was no nervousness. Every word
and every motion indicated that he
had full command Of himself.
"The president has such full con-
fidence in himself that he meets ev-
cry emergency quickly. He is by
far the greatest intellect, pure in
tellect, which our public life has
produced in a generation. We are
not discussing the presidents poll
cies or politics-opiy speaking Of
his intelligence.
He is self-willed, and when he
starts with a purpose in mind he
neither looks to the right nor to
the left. All the great things in
spoken language concerning the war
which will go into the school books
are his utterances. He may be
deceived, but he will never be dis
satisfied
"He made great speech, We
are not sure that he converted any
one. Not every man understands
the issues involved and an adroit
speaker on either side can win APP
plause. 1t is not to be expected
that the issues shan be understood
universally. because International
questions are too large and include
so many contingencies that even
American statesmen are bewildered.
But the president had his audi
ence with him. He swayed them
by every word and every gesture,
without effort. His speeches. be-
ing so fully reported, must make
an impression throughout the coun-
try. If he is making tour for a
third term, he is too big and too
smart to allow his purpose to crop
out"
