GIVEN FAREWELL SURPRISE

A large number of the neighbors
and friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Sam
Dutler gathered at their home in
Melville township last Saturday
night to bid them farewell as they
are soon to leave thei community to
become residents of the city of Au-
dubon. The plans for the sur
prise were carefully laid and carried
out in due form. When the intrud-
ers entered the home both Mr.. and
Mrs. Dutler we're taken completely
by surprise, but they soon learned
the mission of the visitors and
joined in making the evening one of
pleasure. They have lived in the
vicinity so long and have so many
friends that all of them desired to
spend social evening with them.
After playing various games, dane
ing was INDUCED in after which re-
freshments were served
The merry party broke up at a
late hour and on leaving each guest
wished Mr.. and Mrs. Dutler happi-
ness in their splendid new home in
the best town of its size on earth.

HOTEL TO OPEN SOON

Clarence Marquis of Osceola who
recently came into possession of the
Park Hotel, was here a few days
this week, but had to go back to Os-
ceola yesterday to look after some
business matters. During his alb
sence r. B. Hayes will act as land
lord Mr.. Marquis intends making
a number of improvements and will
open the hotel on larger scale on
his return. II he can secure plen-
ty of help the dining room will
again be opened to the public.
The one crying need in Audubon
is a good hotel. Travelling men
lay awake nights figuring out some
way of avoiding Audubon over
night. There are rooms in the
city, but the amount is limited and
frequently they are compelled to Sc
cure accommodations in private
homes. 1t is to be hoped that Mr..
Marquis will give Audubon the hotel
service which she so richly deserves.

vene in this city on next Tuesday

jury will meet as soon as they re-
ceive their instructions from the
court. At the last term this august
body found several indictments. and

later developments that may also
mean further indictments.
On account Of the shortage OF
coal in Audubon 1t is doubtful II

long unless more coal arrives to re-
lieve the stringeney. Already the
county officers are doubling up to
conserve the coal on hand. The
sheriff is housed with the clerk and
the recorder with the auditor. This
new arrangement began Monday
morning. Other changes are con-
templated which will effect the coun-
ty engineer and the county agent.
There are number OF important
cases to come up for trial, and the
litigants are anxious TO have the De-
cember term proceed without inter-
ruption, which OF course will be the
case II the fuel situation does not
interfere.

SOUVENIR on DISPLAY

The Audubon Canning Company
has on display in the show windows
at the ]. F. Baker jewelry store a
souvenir rs M. M. high explosive
shell such as was used by our boys
in France. The big shell is not
loaded and weights IL pounds and
when loaded 20 pounds. Smokeless
powder is used in loading and shoots
a distance of four miles. The steel
she'll at the end is filed with high
explosives, usually T. N. T., which is
caused to explode when striking the
target or ground, rendering the steel
shell into sharp fragments. Twenty
of these shells can be fired from field
guns but the average rate is six to
eight per minute.
Messrs. Johnson & Loveland re-
ceived the souvenir shell from the
American Can Co., of New York, who
delivered during the war more than
five million rounds of ammunition to
the government.
The souvenir is quite a sight and
Is attracting wide attention. 1t is
something that the owners of the Au-
dubon Canning Co. will appreciate.

the Mastersons appeared by Mantz &
White and Ross & Kerberg of Audi
bon. The case was tried before
Judge Rockafellow of Atlantic and
after very thorough trial the court
dismissed the petition of plaintiff
and decreed that the land was the
property of the Masterson heirs.
Plaintiff thereupon took an appeal to
the supreme court. The case was
first submitted to that court In 1916
but the division submitted to was
unable to agree and later In May,
1919 the case was again argued and
submitted. On September 18th, the
supreme court through Judge Weav-
er, handed down a decision in which
the decree of the lower court was
upheld. The plaintiff throughout
the different court proceedings held
that both Foster and Masterson act
ed fraudulently and with the design
of cheating them out Of their pro-
perty. The higher court held that
all of the instruments whereby Fos-
ter obtained title were matters OF
record and the fraud, II any, could
have been discovered by examination
of the records; that the statute of
limitations had run their course and
their cause of action against Foster
was barred. Regarding the claim
that the actions of the Mastersons
were not in good faith. the supreme
court said: Preliminary to fur
Their discussion of the controversy
before us, it should also be said that
there is no substantial ground in the
record for impeaching or questioning
the good faith of the Mastersons in
taking title from Foster, or their
subsequent possession of the prem
ises, or in their honest belief that
they had thereby acquired the abso-
Lutte control of the property" This
simply confirms what the Mastersons
had always claimed that the land
was bought from Foster in absolute
good faith and with the honest belief
in paying it's full market value they
were obtaining the whole title. The
decree of the higher court leaves
the mater just as it begun, that is
with the Mastersons in possession of
the land and Foster relieved from
any claim of damages on account of
the alleged fraud.
After the decree of the court the
plaintiff sought to reopen the case by
making an application for rehearing.
This was refused and this ended the
proceedings in the case.

friends. He has been exceptionally
busy at Washington since congress

cess he is going over the district.
MIR. Green has a personal interest in

II he can be of any service to the

only too glad to serve them. IL
there are those who desire to see
Mr.. Green and they are unable to
find him, telephone this office and
we will try to locate him, for he will
be anxious to answer all calls. His
time of necessity will be short here,
but he hopes to see as many as pos

AUDUBON LOSES TO PERRY

The foot ball eleven of the Audi
bon high school met defeat in their
contest with the team from the
Perry high school at Perry last Fri
day afternoon. The score stood 81
to 0. Regardless of the fact that
our team was entirely outclassed,
they put up a good fight and were de-
termined that Perry should not win
without some opposition. The
Perry team greatly outweighed the
Audubon team which combined with
their clever playing entirely out
classed the home team. There were
times when the Audubon boys were
able to make some good plays but
they were not permitted to carry
them to the scoring point. Bagley,
Audubon's best player was unable
to participate in the game, owing to
a sprained knee. Our boys were
given good treatment at Perry and
their only regret was that they
could not have made IL more inter-
esting for them.
Perry has the best high school
team in the state. They have won
every game of the season but one
and that was when they played with
North High of Des Moines. All of
the boys are huskies and have a
thorough knowledge of the game.
Audubon will play today at John
sons park with the team from Guth-
RE Center The game is called for
$3.50 and will be the last game of
the season. The visitors today
have been playing good games all
season and ought to give the Audu-
bon team a run for their money. We
predict victory for the home team
if Bagley gets into the game. II
the weather is favorable large
crowd will witness the game.

PEOPLE TO GIVE
THEIR THANKS TODAY
THERE ARE MANY REASONS
WHY EVERYONE In AUDUBON
SHOULD BE THANKFUL

The changing seasons have
brought to the threshold of the ma
ton another Thanksgiving day, and
the president of the United States.
following a custom as old as the
government itself, has issued a pro-
clamation setting aside today, Thurs
day, November 27th, as a day Of
thanksgiving and prayer.
This annual event is fraught with
tender memories. 1t is time for
family reunions, neighborhood kind
illness and religious devotions. ABB
sent members seek again the paren-
tai roof and the festal board makes
glad their coming. Generous i'm
pulses drive away selfish considera-
tons and liberality takes the place OF
sordid greed.
Thanksgiving day makes a bold
challenge to our better natures. We
are reminded of the blessings that
have been showered all about US
and of the gracious presence of
beneficent giver. There is so much
more of good than bad in this old
world; so much more of sunshine
than sorrow; so much more of joy
than grief, and so much more of
plenty than poverty. that 1t is well
that we pause on this Thanksgiving
day and recount the manifold bless
ings that have been our portion
throughout the passing days, and
with hearts full of praise and graft
tude pay homage to Almighty God
for His wonderful care over the
children of men.
AS usual, Audubon will hold re-
ligious services. The special serv-
ice will be held at the Methodist
church and the sermon preached by
Rev. VIM. Mack of the Presbyterian
church. After a day of feasting
and home enjoyment all should OBJ
serve the day by attending services.
