EVERYTHING Set
FOR BIG DRIVE
PEOPLE OF AUDUBON COUNTY
TO DO THEIR GIVING FOR
THE SALVATION ARMY

The people of Iowa are going to
donate 100000 to the Salvation
Army in a state wide drive that is
to take place next week, the dates
being September 22nd to 30th Au-
dubon county has been given a quo
ia OF $4,000 and the day set for the
drive is next Wednesday. September
gath.
Similar drives have been held in
other states. The eastern states
held their drives in May and June
In August the drive. was held in
Minnesota and was oversubscribed
practically 40 percent. In fact no
state has fallen short of its quota.
No organization is more worthy
of support than the Salvation Ar
my and in Audubon county as else
where, the appeal for funds will
meet with a generous response.
The funds will be raised by popu-
lar subscription and the old Red
Gross organization in the county will
be used to solicit the funds in every
school district in the county.
At a meeting held at the X. P.
hall Monday night the following Of
ficers for the organization were Sc
lected: III J. Hoogenakker
chairman; E. F. Bilharz, secretary
treasurer; John Horning, publicity
director. An executive committee
composed of H. j. Hoogenakker, E.
F Bilharz, John Hornnig. George
Viewer, M. r. Terhune and Thorval
Muller was selected. Literature,
subscription blanks and receipts have
been sent to all of the solicitors.
This was done without a mass meet
ing owing TO the short time allowed
for organization II was felt that
the people would be so thoroughly
interested in the campaign that the
amount allotted to Audubon coun-
ty would be easily raised and in
fact there would not have been time
to hold a public meeting.
Below will be found the quotas
for each township and also the list
of chairmen and solicitors in each
of the townships. Let us all unite
in putting this drive over the top
and maintain the reputation Audi
con county has established in the
past This will be the last of the
war campaigns and the first for the
reconstruction work at home.

FLOWING DEMONSTRATIONS
TO BE HELD SATURDAY

L. Groteluschen & Co of Gray,
had planned to hold blowing dem
onstration near Gray Wednesday af-
ternoon. On account of the rain
it could not be held so the event was
postponed until Saturday after
noon. This demonstration will be
made with a Moline tractor. II
the weather clears up no doubt a
large crowd will watch the demon
stration Saturday. Look for their
advertisement in another part of
today's paper. The tractor is the
coming thing and demonstrations
are of special interest to the farm
er who wants to keep up with the
times and do the farm work with
the best approved methods.

4 DECoRoUs FAMILY REUNION

For the first time in eighteen
months all of Mr. and Mrs. j. w.
Dawson's children ate and visited
together under their parental roof.
Mr. and Mrs. w. E. Peppers of
Extra; Mr.. and Mrs G. E. Dawson
of Des Moines; Mr.. and Mrs. d. E.
Dawson Of Bethel; Mr.. and Mrs
Sam Simcox of Des Moines; and
Mr.. 0. WEIGH passed the day there.
We were unable to learn Mr..
Welch's purpose or duties there but
perhaps his motives justify his con-
duct.
This reunion was precious for two
reasons: First because Mrs j.
w. Dawson recentlv returned from
Rochester, Mimi, where she receiv-
ed beneficial treatment. Second,
because Dolliver and George Daw-
son spent many months in overseas
service. II was with keen appre-
citation and deep gratitude that
these two volunteers in the service
again enjoyed the pleasures which
can only be realized in ones home.
Both boys are well and strong.
Their mother is recuperating as fast
as could be expected
Mrs. George Dawson, who is a
talented musician, entertained the
family with carefully chosen music.
The pendulum of the family clock
made many strokes while the chill
dren related incidents to which they
had been witnesses. Frequently the
family enjoyed indulgent laughter,
which Is indicative If pleasantly
The midday repast was one of
the most sumptuous six-course
meals ever prepared. Some of the
fruit served was canned eight years
ago by Mrs. w. Dawson's moth
er. Each article was prepared and
served with skill and taste known
and understood only bv the few with
Mrs. j. W. Dawson's ability and in
genuity All of the children. es-
pecially George and Dolliver, consid-
cred this repast the most delicious
they ever relished John ST., kept
the familv shaking with laughter by
relating appropriate jokes in his
usual jovial manner.
That Sunday, because it was the
day on which they realized the an
ticipated pleasures of a reunion af-
ter long forced separation, will
always remain especially sacred to
this family, which is we'll known
among us,

RAIN spous FAIR

The rain of the past two days has
spoiled all prospects for the Guthrie
COUNTY Fair which was to take
place in Guthrie Center Wednesday
and Thursday of this week. Secre-
tary Edwards had made all arrange
ments for a great fair this year. OF
course we needed the moisture and
while it comes pretty hard on the
association. yet the rain is a God
send TO this part of the country.
The rain of yesterday and today is
the first we have had in two months.
The corn crop is good and out of
the way of frost. It has been too
dry for pasture and fall blowing
but the rain has remedied that con-
dition. We hope Guthrie has bet
ter weather next year and We will
all try to attend next year to help
make up this years deficit.

In addition to these figures must be
added those who gained admission
by membership tickets. Consider
ably over 500 tickets were sold this
year. Each membership ticket
will average four persons, so fully
1000 can be added each day to the
single admissions.
The society will have about
$4,000 left in the treasury after pay
ing all expenses. This added to the
$1,000 from the county and the
amount received from the state. viii

house.

THE COLE TOURNAMENT

A number of the Audubon golf
players were scheduled to PLAY in
the southwestern Iowa tournament
at Harlan this week. Ed Johnson
and John Kerwin were the only
ones who succeeded in getting to
Harlan Wednesday Others had
planed to go but the rain prevented
them from going. Il is quite like
ly that the tournament has been
called off. Yesterday some play
ing took place, but today it has
been too rainy. If the weather
clears up it may be possible that
the tournament will be continued
for Friday and Saturday. Harlan
had made extensive arrangements
to entertain guests from six or
eight towns in this section of the
state.

BABY CONTEST WAS
MOST INTERESTING AFFAIR

The baby contest at the fair last
week was one of exceptional inter
est. On account of the war the
contest was abandoned the past two
years but with the return of peace
1t was thought splendid idea to
revive it.f1 Mrs. Mar 7. Watts was
prevailed upon to get the matter
started again and she was success
full in getting 65 entries.
Much the same plan as used here
tofore was used this year. DR.
Cronk of Bloomfield was here to dc
the scoring and as each baby was
brought out for scoring there was a
great deal of interest. The larg-
est percent of entries was from the
country homes.
This year babies from outside OF
Audubon county were also entered
in a class by themselves. In this
class Amy Warner. daughter of Mr.
and Mrs Fred B. Warner of Adair,
scored SO.
Charles Siemsen son of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Siemsen of Ross, scored

Mrs. Krauel came to Audubon

tinued to reside here until the time
of her death. For many years the
family lived in Cameron township,
but ten years ago the family moved
20 this city. During all these
years the deceased delighted in do
ing good and helping neighbors and
friends. No task was too great for
her and whenever it was possible
she brought sunshine and cheer to
others who were in sorrow.
She was a faithful member of the
church. She was not only faithful
60 her church, but just as faithful in
believing that ii was a Christian
duty to do the will of her Master at
all times She was always ready
To lend hand in the time of need,
both in acts of kindness and in
words.

Clinton county, Iowa December 16,
