Creel Can Find Nobody
To Take 100000 Fund;
No Provision is Made

WASHINGTON, July 30.-George
Creel is in the embarrassing situation
of being unable TO get rid of S2Oo'-
coo in cash and quick assets. There
is no longer a bureau of public fnfor-
nation. but when that organization
passed into history no provision was
made for handling its possessions
The board spent about S7,0o0,o0o in
two years 1t, however. earned So
600, 900, which was turned back to the
government. There remains in the
custody of the non-existent institu-
ton $4,000 in a bank in Paris. bills
for $4,000 due from various cities,
office furniture, all over the world,
marketable moving picture films, and
a small balance of the government
money due from the agents who came
back to this country after the bureau
had ceased to be.
Creel divorced himself from the
pay roll last March. He has been
in Washington a number of times
since trying to find somebody to
whom he can turn over these re-
sponsibilities. and so far without sue
cess The archives and account os
the bureau are still in charge of Au-
ditor Hobbs. who remains in the old
Headquarters. He has no right to
dip into the bureaus funds to pay
the rent. He can draw no salary.
Neither Hoggs nor Creel can coll
lect the money that is due, check up
the expense accounts of the agents
and receive their balances. 1t is any,
thing but joke to them. for though
they cannot get rid of the money or
the archives they are responsible un,
der their bonds for both.

Iancaster's Portion

The state highway commission
through the state treasurer. will dis
tribute s24O,5254O among the
forty-six counties OF the state from
automobile license fees paid for
1919 up to April I. In 1918 the au-
tomobile license fees to April 1
amounted to s1s5,5124O The coll

" s45. 10000 in excess OF those In
1913 up 70 the same date. Lancas-
ter county will receive s2.046.4O as
its share OF the automobile license
fees Advocates Of good roads are
strongly OF the opinion that every
county In the state should devote the
whole Of It's receipts from automo-
bill license fees to making perma-
nent road improvements or on road
maintenance this year. as provided
by law Section II Of the Act ap-
oroved February 90. 1917. creating
the state highway commission and
imposing a license tax on motor We
hicles, provides that the money from
he license tax shall be used by the
counties "only for the construction

ridges " From reports received last
wear, II appears that some Of the
"onties turned the money from au-
tomobile license fees into the gem
eral county fund and did not use 1t
as required by law.

SPORTSNIEN LOOK OUT
FOR BANDED DUCKS

1t is hoped that sportsmen will
caefully examine all ducks killed to
ascertain whether or not they are
banded. The American Bird Band
ing Association, with headquarters
at The American Museum of Natur-
al History, New York City the
United States Department of Agri-
culture at Washington, d. c., and
several individuals are making a
practice of banding waterfowl to as
certain their migratory lines OF
fight.
Wild ducks are trapped by those
having permits and again liberated
after having an aluminium band
firmly fastened to one leg. These
bands are numbered and also are
stamped with the address of the
person or association doing the
work. A card index system is
kept by those releasing the bird,
listing all data in connection with
each bird liberated. When the bird
is killed, the gunner is requested to
communicate with the address on
the band, giving the number, species
of duck and place and date killed.
From these facts it Is very easy to
determine the routes travelled by the
birds, and as more and more of this
information accumulates, the more
certain we will be of their exact
movements.

PERKINS LAW CARES
FOR SICK CHILDREN

Crippled children are not the only
ones received at the hospital of the
University of Iowa under the Perk-
ins law, which provides that indi-
gent children suffering from some
malady that can probably be rem
edied" may be treated at the states
expense as well as those afflicted
with some deformity."
Work in children's diseases is
done by the department of pediatrics
in the children's hospital. Digestive
disturbances diseases of all kinds,
and problems of nourishment are
treated.
Nourishment is one of the real
specialties of tht department. The
equipment for pediatrics includes a
very complete milk and diet kitchen
which provides every possible modi-
fication of milk. 1t is equipped
with separator, specially constructed
pasteurizer, pressure cooker, steriliz-
er fat tester, and other necessary
appliances. Milk used in the hospi-
tai is tested every day. One big
ward is occupied by the babies two
smaller wards are available for old
ct thCio uio uhhsS
of two and three beds each which
may be used for patients desiring
more privacy.
For the most part the work is
with infants and very young chill
dren. The department has been
particularly impressed with the inn
portance of the first months and
years of life when the most success
full work counter to heredity or in
conjunction with it may be done.
Usually this relates to nutrition and

AUDUBON Wins
ONE-SIDED GAME
TAKES WHAT WAS PROBABLY
THE MOST UNEQUAL CONTEST
OF SEASON FROM CARROLL

Audubon played the Carroll team
at the Johnson ball park Sunday
and it proved to be a real tragedy
from our point of view as the visit
ors really played TOO poor a game
to make it even humorous. The
final score was 10 to / and the lone
some score was not earned by the
Carroliltes any way you can figure
1t as it was scored on an poor
throw to third by Kline in the third
inning. Shupe was on the mound
for the locals and pitched the usual
steady game he is capable of, get
ting IA strike outs and allowing 3
scratch hits. On the other hand
Schmeik, for the visitors was touch
ed for II rousing hits, consisting
of singles, doubles and triples. I'm
doubtedly it was the poorest contest
of the season from every angle and
was very one-sided from the very
first inning. In the first inning,
Carroll went out on three straight
strikeouts and Audubon pushed
five runs across in their half on an
avalanche of hits and errors. Au-
dubon scored three more in their
half of the second and the visit
ors got their Lonely score in their
half of the third. The locals
counted four more in the fourth and
four in the fifth and added three for
good measure in the eighth bring
ing the total up to 10. The only
trouble with the visiting team was
that they had not pitcher or catch
err and could not field or hit. Out
side of that they had a good ball
team.
The locals will play the Manillla
team at the Johnson ball park next
Sunday and we sincerely hope that
the game will be a much better one
than this one was. Manila has
pretty fair team, from all reports
and should put up a pretty fair
contest.
A week from Sunday Audubon
will again take on the Manning
team on the local lot and will en-
deavor to convince them that with
the game on the square all the way
through there will be no doubt that
the locals can take their measure.
This will probably close the season
for the home team so that all fans
that want 10 take advantage of this
opportunity to see the las home
base ball of the season, should see
both of these games.
The line up and box score fol-
low:

READ THE ADS.

When you hear a person remark
Oh / never read the ads in the pa
per-" put it down that to say the
least, that person can be classeo
among the well informed.
Some people complail because
there is more advertising in ;he
newspaper than they think there
should be. Perhaps there is more
than interests oneindividualb but ad'
veritising like different classes oi
news does not attract all alike. One
riece of news may appeal ID one
ral.on greatly, and No: inieres: an
other at all. One advertisements
may be just what some person OF
class of persons, is anxious 70
read, while another holds no at
traction for them whatever.
man who is interested in buying an
automobile cares nothing for dress
goods sales, but the housewife II
she be wise, reads every word of the
dress goods sale and may only give
a glance at the automobile ad.
The modern newspaper confers
equally as a great public benefit to
it's readers in acquainting them with
the best values for their money in
all lines of merchandising as 1t does
to present the news of the city, coun-
ty, state nation and word Prim-
arily the subscriber takes the news
paper for the news and the other
good features that go to comprise
the contents of the paper. With
out news advertising would be val
ueless to the advertiser, for it is the
news that makes the newspaper val
liable as an advertising medium.
Remember this, that the newspa-
per of a community is one OF the
best indication of the prosperity OF
that community. It's advertising
patronage is one of the best possible
evidences of the progressiveness OF
it's merchants. The trained eye OF
a stranger can tell at glance, IL
nothing more than skimming over a
newspaper about what kind of a
town he is in. If the merchants
show enterprise in their advertising
the stranger knows he is in a bust
ness town. The symptoms OF the
dead town are just as apparent, II
not more strikingly so, in the town
where the merchants are content to
sit around and expectorate in box
of sawdust and wait on such trade as
happens in"

Notes of the Game
Mertz certainly had his batting
clothes on Sunday. He got A hits
in five times up, for a total of
seven bases.
Kaufman also got two long hits
and played his usual good game at
third base.
Berg was new man in the line
up and is real ball player, cover
ing mile of territory in the field.
Kline was hurt gain in Sundays
game. He has had a lot of hard
luck this year having his hand
bunged up pretty near all season.
However he does not let it effect
his good work behind the plate.
Ramsey had to quit the game in
the fourth inning on account of hav-
ing hurt his leg in the Guthrie Cen
ter game a week ago. Kelly re-
placed him in the lineup.
Slayton also was a new man in
the lineup and although we could
not get a sample of his ability in
