BRAYTON IS LOCAL AND PERSONAL

Audubon people can rejoice in the
fact that we are to have another
Chautauqua next year.
Roy r. Clark, owner of the Straw
berry Point Press has sold it to F. j.
Mantz of Manning, possession to be
given August LIST. Mr. Clark has
been owner of the property since
1911.
A son of Joe Graves, writing his
father from Steele county, North
Dakota says the eastern part of that
state has the promise of good crops
of wheat, which will soon be ready
to harvest.
Two Buick cars got into a smash
up Saturday night and a Hupmobile
ran into wagon doing some dam
age. None of the occupants of the
cars were injured and but little
damage was done to the cars.
A. e. Beason returned from Des
Moines this morning with a new Es-
sex car, which he has sold to one of
our prosperous trainers. This af-
ternoon he returned to Wall Lake to
join his family who are there on
two weeks outing.
Everybody should see the ball game
between Audubon and Dedham on
next Sunday. Each team has won
one game from the other this season
and it will be a battle royal to de-
eide which is the best team. Root
for Audubon and help her win.
A test case may be brought in the
courts seeking to compel the state
to pay prisoners in the state peniten-
tiary at Fort Madison, the same
wages for day work as are paid SIM
liar labor by employers outside of
the institution, and to have the
wages paid turned over to the fam
lilies of the prisoners.
Chaplain Winfred E. Robb of the
16Sth is making progress with his
memorial book for the boys who died
in the war with the Huns. There
will be seven hundred pages in the
volume. Seven hundred pictures of
Iowa boys who made the supreme
sacrifice will be in this book and be-
tween sixty and seventy battle
scenes.
Here is a new danger to those
who have implicit faith in the gen.
tility of the family nag. Mrs. Guy
Cosen of Rockwell City was Sc
riously injured recently when the
team she was driving became fright
ened by an aeroplane. She was
driving home, when an aeroplane
swooped down near the team and the
horses became unmanageable and
ran away.

TOO MUCH WATER
HAS SPOILED LAKE

The old residents of Storm Lake
state that the memory of man run
meth not to the. contrary when there
was as much water in the lake as
at present. Considerable damage
has been done to the banks along the
shore line that supports the beauti
full park On the south limits of the
city. An effort was made to get
bill through the last general assem-
bly, providing an appropriation that
would have enabled the authorities
to have protected the banks from
caving in. 1t is feared that a con-
tinuation of the excessive rains in
that section may cause the water to
wreck the dam that protects the out
let r. w. Clyde, of the state high
way commission, spent several days
the first of last week going over the
situation in order to make a recon-
mendation to the state authorities as
to the best method of protecting the
lake from further damage.
