MAN WITH BROKEN NECK
WILL MAKE RECOVERY

Four years ago, William Miller, a
prominent farmer living In northern
Lee county and owner of the Pleas
ant Ridge stock farm, fell from the
top of load of hay upon which he
was riding and upon striking the
ground on his head sustained brok-
en- neck. He survived the accident.
which In itself is remarkable. and
has since lived in a paralyzed condi-
ton, practically helpless.
His case was thought to be hope
less, and it was firmly believed that
he would die an invalid, since no sur
geons would undertake an opertion
which they looked upon as useless.
After consulting one doctor after
another his case was finally called
to the attention of DR.. Austin Phil
pott, OF Fl. Madison, who after a
thorough examination, agreed to
perform an operation and do whatey-
er might be possible.
Miller went to the operating table
at the Sacred Heart hospital Thurs
day, aparalytic invalid and came OF
a cured man with every prospect Of
recovering all the strength and vigor
of which he had been deprived for
the past four years. The operation,
probably the most remarkable ever
performed in southeastern Iowa was
successful in every respect.
DR.. Philpott opened the neck at
the break, removed the fractured
portions OF the sixth and seventh
cervical vertebrae and replaced them
with pieces made from half the left
shin bone The new pieces were
spliced in place and the wound
Upon regaining consciousness
Miller discovered that he could use
muscles and limbs that he had been
unable to move since his fall four
years ago. He is now resting cas-
lily and Is wen on the road to recov-
cry. as}}}4sA

PASTOR IS GIVEN
INFORMAL FAREWELL
LARGE NUMBER OF MEMBERS
GATHER AT CHURCH TO BID
FAMILY FAREWELL

A hundred OF more members of
the Methodist church gathered in
the church basement Monday even
ing to give a farewell reception to
Rev. c. w. Proctor and wife who
left yesterday for their new home at
Murray. Rev. Proctor has been
pastor of the Audubon charge two
years but at the annual conference
in Des Moines last week he was
transferred to Murray, Iowa.
There is general regret that the
pastor is leaving US, but he has re-
ceived good appointment and all
trust he will continue to carry on
the work in his new field with the
same untiring efforts that character
lied his work here. During his
pastorate the church was built up
in all OF its branches. though due to
war conditions it was difficult. Rev.
Proctor has accomplished things in
Audubon no other pastor could do.
for each man has certain Qualifica-
tions that fit him for certain tasks.
He leaves the field in splendid con-
dition for his successor who no
doubt will be given the united sup
port OF all.
Rev. Proctor has a new church in
course of completion at Murray and
will have one of the best plants in
the conference when 1t is completed.
The family will also be nearer In
dianola, where their daughter Lois
Ia q student at Simpson college. So
after all the change may be the
best for all concerned. We are
certain of one thing. that the best
wishes OF the members of the Audu-
bon charge win follow Rev. Proctor
to his new home, and they shall al
ways be interested in his future.
Had 1t not been for the Indictment
weather a much larger crowd would
have been in attendance. AS 1t
was none OF the Melville members
were able to attend. After spend
ing an hour in an informal way, l..
Dee Mallonee, on behalf of the MEM
bers presented Mr.. Proctor with a
Morris chair. Rev. Proctor re-
sponded tery nobly and assured all
that he hated to leave as badly as
they hated to see him 60.
The ladies' aid society served
doughnuts and coffee and 1t was af-
ter midnight before the gathering
broke up. 1t was an occasion that
all will remember for years to come.

MAY YET HAVE
SHORT WET SPELL
EASTERN CITIES EAGERLY
AWAITING THE LAST WORD
FROM THE PRESIDENT

The optimism of New York, Phila-
delphia and Chicago liquor dealers
over the termination of wartime
prohibition was explained at Wash
ington Tuesday.
1t proceeds straight from a mem
Der of President Wilson's cabinet
and is supported by the unqualified
statement of that official that the
president will not await ratification
of the treaty of peace by the senate
before lifting the ban.
The president is represented by
this cabinet officer as being deter
mined to suspend the wartime dry
act just as soon as he is advised by
Secretary of War Baker that demob-
olization of the army from war to
a peace strength has been accom-
plished.
This statement is in direct con-
trast to those of Attorney General
Palmer, but it is made with such
definiteness that liquor dealers are
preparing for respite from statu-
tory prohibition before the constitu-
tional amendment becomes operative
next January.
Reports from New York to the eff
feet that liquor dealers were ar
ranging for heavy shipments OF
whisky from Kentucky, where mil
lions Of dollars Of distilled spirits re-
main in bonded warehouses awaiting
the day of liberation, are coupled
with the fact that Kentuckians COM
ing to Washington In the last few
days have expressed the utmost op-
timism relative to the release of the
bonded whisky.
The interest in Kentucky is not
confined entirely to juleps, as the
banks there hold vast amounts Of
warehouse certificates as security for
loans. it being the practice for dis
tillers to sell their product in adj
vance of it's release from bond by
transfer Of their warehouse re-
ceipts.

THE SOLDIER BONUS

It is announced from Washington
that some sort of bonus legislation
for the soldiers who fought In the
great war Is to be enacted. This Is
good news. The United States has
not done as much for her returned
soldiers as have Canada and Aus
tralia, and our wealth ID many times
greater. A plan Of land distribu-
tion has been debated and debated
in congress but so many legislators
have opposed the measure, and SO
many others have found defects In It.
that friends OF this manner Of award
ing the service man have despaired
Of any action along this line.
Congressman Dowell has an
nounced that one plan includes the
award Of $50 per month for each
month Of service In the army. This
IL certainly not too much. This
country rapidly is recovering itself
financially, and we owe It to the
young men who risked their lives
and jeopradixed their business fu-
ture to reward them IN some slight
way. Iowa, herself. II woefully be-
hind some Of their neighboring
states In doing something for her
returned soldiers. whatever action
the government takes. Iowa's obliga-
ton has not been discharged. At
the next c0nvening Of the legislators
some bonus legislation affecting the
Iowa soldiers should be enacted,
and It should be just as generous as
the great prosperous state OF Iowa
can afford.

WILSON BACK
10 WASHINGTON
SUDDEN ILLNESS COMPEI.S HIM
TO DISCONTINUE TRIP AND
RETURN HOME

President Wilson last Friday end
ed his speaking tour on account Of
nervous breakdown, while over
one-third Of his dates remained un-
FULFILLED. Since leaving Washing
ton the presidsnt had led strenu-
GUS life, he had worked over time
and much to his surprise and dis
appointment, was unable to fill out
his schedule. While labor unions
over the country were striking for
shorter hours he was prQdigal Of his
time and paid no attention to the
hands Of the clock.
As his ailments are not serious,
simply nervousness from overwork.
perhaps It IL just as well that he
spend some time at the capital.
People were delighted to see the
president, many never have chance
to see the head OF ne nation. Thous-
ands greeted him wherever he APP
peared, and his fine low of faultless
English charmed the scholarly and
critical in his great audiences. He
started, out like Don Quixote to ac-
complish the impossible, his purpose
was unquestioned and his Intentions
were sincere, but his aims were
chimerical. He sought to revolu-
ti0nize the sentimento of the coun-
try on the league of nations. to the
end that senator's might be forced to
obey the mandates from the white
house. But there came no fevolu-
ton. people gathered to hear and to
zee their president, but no evidence
came Of desire to force senator's to
become mere rubber stamps, simply
OKiug his orders. The constitutional
rights Of the senators and their evil
dent intention to use their own judy
ment In the discharge Of official du-
ties, were practical obstructions in
the way Of presidential under tax
fngs.
President Wilson is needed at
Washington. He has been away too
much the last nine months. Affairs
have become unsettled IN so many
quarters that the very best thought
OF the administration from the pres
ident down. ID required to prevent
further Decentralization. It Is be-
lieved that President Wilson still has
some hold on the situation and can
do much toward harmonizing con-
landing forces. But he will have
to be on the Job all the time and
pay all his attention to domestic
'c6ncerns II he prevents his admin
lStration from failure at this time.
The people Of the United States are
ahxious to take up the evils that
confront them 1t home, rather than
to follow his idealistic pilGrimAges
into realms of futurity. The Unit
cd States needs its president and
congress. both ON the job, and With
team work we are going to set
through this crisis all right.
II This Is no time to ny to evils We
know not Of: this n the time for the
aAministration to serve the United
States, other masters can we'll wait.
Senator Kenyon was never more
popular IN Iowa than at present. He
haar no nse feR ps9tAip proyasfcnn 0f

courage to say 90. His speech was
one Of his best. He 70 an Amerf-
can and does not believe In setting

A KHAKI LESSON

When the brass knob turned. the
old man at the desk didn't look up.
The door was softly closed and
there was silence but for the
scratching of a pen. The conner
was probably one in reply to the adj
vertisement in the paper, and the
man at the desk feared to look up.
He needed help badly, otherwise he
would not have been Obliged to adj
vertfse for 1t, but since the time he
had sent the Office boy out with the
message he had had haunting fear
that man in uniform would answer
the lad" How could he face a
man who had been at the front
facing the worst of danger when he
had played his hand for all It was
worth and had been stay-at-home
under the Industrial exemption
clause? He dove into his desk file
and fumbled the cards for fifteen
Or twenty minutes. then he went
back to writing.
Patiently the stranger waited in
calm silence for more than an
hour. He hadn't shn6ied his feet;
he hadn't even cleared his throat to
call attention to the fact that he
was there. Yet he had been abso-
lutsly ignored for more than an
