BIRTHDAY SURPRISE

On Tuesday evening occurred Q
pleasant surprise. MIR. and Mrs
Wesley Stetzel who live about ten
miles southeast of Audubon came
and took Wesley's grandmother to
their home with them. It was a
kindness she surely appreciated Lit
tie did she think Of her 18th birth
day until reminded Of it by her hap
by group. The place made the sur
prise more complies and handler for
some to attend. Grandma with her
husband, came here from Johnson
county, Iowa about 33 years ago
and are thus acquainted with the
rugged days of pioneer life when
things were not as pleasant as they
are now Mr.. Stetzel died about II
years ago. Grandma has raised q
family of 16 children, all of whom
are living. One of our honorable
citizens who has one of the Stetzel
daughters for a wife was taking a
stranger through the country and
introduced him to "this is my broth
er-.r-law," ana so on. Finally the
stranger said, "Say, I don't want to
call you liar but believe you are
and he could hardly be convinced OF
the truth. Grandma, with her chill
dren have been great help to the
Evangelical church, the church of
their choice. in Audubon and all
arise and call her blessed.
The following were present to
greet her on her 18th birthday an
niversary: Ia,
\ Wesley Stetzel and family and
Miss Welty: Louis 'Stetzel. wife and
daughter; Chas. Stetzel and wife;
Ira Sretzel, wife and son; Amos

noting sweetness, light and love
and a wish for many more bright

as a class, learned how to work and
are all well to do and arise and call
her blessed. Her testimony tells
her life's story. When but mere
girl she and her sister raised a
bushel Of sweet potatoes which her
father took to Iowa City and sold for
one dollar. fifty cents being her
share. She soon after asked her
mother whether size might not give
her so cents to Rev. Scafele who
was then their pioneer minister at
that time. Her mother said you
can do with It what you want to; it
Is your money" She went out into
the dooryard WHERE the minister
was hitching his horse to 60 away.
As she gave him her so cents the
minister said, "the Lord bless you
all the days of your Iife." She
says repeatedly with gratitude, He
blessed me all the days Of my life
and she purposes to trust God for
the future, knowing and believing
all will be we'll. .

AUDUBON FELL TOO

Two slick young grafters.. who
played on the sympathies Of the peo-
pie of Adair in an amusing way,
cleaned up q nice wad Of spending
money in that town recently. They
canvassed the town quite thorough
ly for subscriptions to the magazine,
"Our Boys" which is edited and con-
tributed to only by boys who saw &C
tive military service in France. One
solicitor was in an army uniform
and the other in q navy blue. OF
course their story went big and
brought big profits. for those dollars
which were collected win never be
devoted to anything but the personal
comfort of the men who collected
them.

ATTORNEY FILLS PULPIT

e. w. Weeks. a prominent attor-
ney of Guthrie Center preached at
the open air service in the park
last Sunday morning, taking the
place of Rev. G. w. Proctor. Mr..
Weeks has been doing considerable
preaching the past few years. He
Is at the head Of the laymen of the
Atlantic district, and has in times
past preached to the ministers at
the annual conferences. Mr..
Weeks Is q deep, clear thinker and
Is always able to lay a solid founda-
ton for his text. He talked on
the subject of the present unrest
prevailing all over the country. He
was firm In his belief that in every
crisis there IL q man who was equal
to the occasion, and this was
brought about from q higher power
than human hands. He Hkened
many instances to that of Abraham,
who was tried by God when Abra-
ham was called to offer his son as q
sacrifice. Abraham proved true to
God and God came to his assistance.
There -Was also the case of King
David and on through the years to
A1uCOlu. AI tul0 tlMo IN @uo
worlds crisis the speaker said he
had confidence in God that the right
man would be brought forward to
bring order out OF chaos.
Mr.. Weeks believes in a league
of nations, but not especially in the
language of the one now under
consideration by the United States
senate. He read rough draft Of
an article which he believed could
be accepted by all of the world pow
ers. The language Of this article
is his own and we regret that we
are unable to publish 1t for 1t has
in 1t many things worthy Of serious
thought.
Mr.. Weeks remained for the az
ternoon meeting at which Bishop
Stuntz was the speaker.

= A LESSON TO BOYS

The awful crime committed by
Roy Emerson, and the tragic end
ing OF his life by suicide, ought to
make . lasting impression on the
minds of many youths in this part
Of Iowa. Roy was an only child.
From boyhood he had been accus-
toned to having ever within graft
fed. His parents were well to do
and their regard for their boy was
stronger than their judgment CEN
corning his welfare. He was PAM
pered and petted. His will was
the law in the Emerson household
The parental control that should
have been over him was suborned
to the desire to permit him to have
a good time. He had no respect
for his parents, and no regard for
their efforts in his behalf. When
his father died, few months ago.
instead of being help to his moth
er. who had humored him all his
life, he learned to hate her be-
cause too late she attempted to
chide him for his waywardness and
his Incorporate use Of money. Such
q feeling was born of selfishness.
The terrible ending was the murder
of his mother and finally self-de-
struction.
Boys frequently get the idea that
restraints that are thrown around
them by their parents are un-
wholesome and irksome. They
sometimes feel that they are abused
when not permitted to indulge in
fancies which to them seem harm
less and mere matters of employ
ment. That doubtless was the way
Roy Emerson felt, and his parents
permitted him to have his way
They all paid the penalty. Men
and boys rnust undergo the purging
influence of the restraint. Society
learned that away back in the days
of primitive man, and it is still
true. Loosening Of the reins in
! samller things develops a lack OF
respect for law and order. and a
correspondingly increased desire tc
pander to passion and selfishness
When that nature has been develop
ed, it is but step to the criminal
So il was with Emerson, and SO II
will be with most boys IL they d.
not listen to the wisdom Of theil
parents.

thy father. and forsake not the Law

MOTHER AND DAUGHTER
WRITE no FRIENDS HERE

Two very interesting letters were
received in Audubon the fore part
of the week. Both of them came
from France. These letters were
written In the French language but
were translated BY Miss Harriet

Perhaps It 10 not generally
known, but the Audubon CONNER
cial Club some time ago undertook
to support a fatherless French
child. for q period of three years.
The Club pays annually $3.50 and
this amount Is sufficient to keep q
child in comfort. Out Of the graf
itude of their hearts, the grief
stricken mother and the fatherless
child have written the following
