NO GRASSHOPPERS FOR
AUDUBON COUNTY THIS YEAR

E. V. Walter of Ames, with the
bureau of entomology working in
connection with the department of
agriculture, was in the city today and
in company with County Agent Paul
M. Wolf visited a number of farms
in the vicinity with a view to dis
covering, if possible, whether or not
Audubon county would be pestered
with grasshoppers this year. After
a thorough investigation but very
few egg masses were found. At the
Jorgen Jensen farm two and a half
miles northeast of the city, only one
live egg mass was found while a
number of dead masses were found.
This proves that but few grasshop-
pers will infest this section of the
state, as similar investigations have
been made in surrounding counties
with practically the same result. Mr..
Walter was the gentleman who was
here last fall with an apparatus to
catch grasshoppers and from the
number that were caught then, the
bureau at Ames was somewhat
alarmed that the same trouble might
be repeated this year However, the
investigation made yesterday proves
to the contrary for which we are all
thankful.

COMMERCIAL CLUB MEETS

The regular monthly meeting of
the Commercial Club was held in the
x. p. hall last Monday evening. A
goodly number of the members were
present. Most of the time was spent
in discussing matters of interest to
the public. ne matter of going
back to the "old time" was the bone
for contention, most of the evening.
Considerable complaint has been
made by the country people that
the stores close too early for them.
Many of the business men felt that
the farmers were making just COM
plant and thought some action
should be taken. Mayor Cozine In
terviewed most of the business men
and reported his findings at the meet
ing. The result of the discussion
was that the mayor be asked to is
sue request to go back to the old
time of opening the stores at 500
o'clock and closing at 700 o'clock.
Mayor Cozine has the request in to-
days Republican and beginning next
Monday Audubon will go back to the
"old time" which no doubt will be
appreciated by large majority Of
the farmers.

AUDUBON COUNTY WILL
AGAIN DO HER PART

The quota of Audubon county in
the Victory Liberty bond drive,
which opens Monday, April 21st and
concludes Saturday night, May 10th,
will be $699,375 according to an an
nouncement Just received from John
A. Cavafaugh of Des Moines, chair
man of the quota committee of Iowa.
Mr. Cavanaugh adds some interest
ing facts in regard to previous loans.
The quota of Iowa for the four
preceding Liberty bond issuances
was S33S,5OO, 900. The state sub
scribed 393,O93.150. The total
number of subscribers was 1912
900. The oversubscription in the
four previous loans amounted to
$54,593,15O, a greater sum than was
asked altogether of the state in the
first campaign. In the last two
campaigns 100000 and $4,000 peo-
the four campaigns was 410,500 sub
scribers or one for every family.
Iowa is thus 100 percent perfect. in
the matter of family subscriptions
in all four bond campaigns. Iowa
oversubscribed the second and the
fourth loans ten percent. 1t over
subscribed the third loan sixty per-
cent. Mr.. Cavanaugh is hopeful
that Iowa will surpass the oversub-
scription record of the second and
fourth loans in the coming drive.
With Iowa producing farm crops
last year to the value of almost one
billion dollars and with prospects
good for another big agricultural
year Mr.. Cavanaugh is confident that
the governments fifth and last ap-
peal for funds will meet with a
hearty and generous response from
Iowa, First over the top" in two
bond campaigns already.

LAST LOAN AT FOUR
and A HALF BILLION
FIFTH VICTORY LOAN CLOSES
GOVERNMENTS APPEAL
FOR FUNDS

AT last details of the coming Lib
erty Loan bond sale are given out by
the government. The bonds" are
bond, they are to be known as
notes and as such are not inter-
changeable for bonds of former issue.
The total amount, $4,50O,O0O,OO0 is
about all owed now to the banks
which several months ago lent to the
government in the form of certifi-
Gates.
The following definite statement
has been given out by the treasury
department.
Amount $4,000, 900, 900, oversub-
scriptions to be rejected.
Interest "a percent, for partially
tax exempt notes, convertible into
3 ga percent notes wholly tax ex-
empt.
Maturity four years with the treas
ury reserving the privilege of re-
deeming the notes in three years.
The 3 ga percent notes to be is
sued later also may be converted Sub
sequently back into A "a percent
notes.
The 4 ga percent security are to
be exempt from state and local tax
alton, excepting estate and inherit
ance taxes and from normal rates of
federal income taxes.
The ga percent securities are ex-
empt from all federal, state and local
taxes.
The size of the loan was much
smaller than was anticipated by most
financial observers, who looked for
an issue of about $4,000, 900, 900 par
ticularly in view of Secretary
Glass past statements that the loan
would be $4,000, 900, 900, or $1,000
100000.
This will be the last Liberty loan,
Secretary Glass explained, although
there will be other issues of govern
ment securities to finance belated
war expenses. These will not be
fioated by popular campaigns.
None of the past issues of Liberty
bonds are convertible into Victory
loan notes. and there are no specific
provisions in the terms of the Victory
issue serving directly to maintain
market prices on past issues.

COLUMBIAN CLUB MEETING

The Domestic Science Department
of the Columbian Club met with
Mrs. Lewis Basiey last Tuesday af-
ternoon for a good time and a picnic
supper, and 1t proved a most enjoy
able occasion. Mrs. Bagley Is an
ideal hostess and the ladies present
passed a delightful time at the Bag
ley home.
The committee who had charge OF
the picnic certainly prepared an elab-
crate meal and the well appointed
tables fairly groaned beneath its load
of edibles. These social gatherings
mean a great deal to the women of
Audubon and the Columbian Club
cultivates such a fine spirit of hos
pitable good will towards its men,
bers that it is indeed worthy of the
support the members and the public
give to it.

A Big MEETING
FOR TOMORROW
NUMBER OF PROMINENT SPEAK
ERS In INTEREST OF VIC
TORY LOAN HERE

A number of prominent speakers
have been secured for Audubon coun-
ty who will assist in the Victory loan
drive which is to take place in this
county on Friday. April 25th. Sem
ator A. b. Cummins and Mrs. Francis
E. Whitley of Chicago, chairman of
the Woman's State Board of Defense
will speak in the Presbyterian church
in this city on Thursday night, April
oath Senator Kimball of Council
Bluffs and Mrs. Ida Campbell Of
Clear Lake, Iowa, will be the speak
ers at the big meeting in Extra.
These two meetings will wind up the
program. On Friday, the 25th, the
drive in Audubon county will be
made. The same plan will be used
as on former occasions. The peo-
pie of the county will go to their re-
spective school houses and subscribe
the amount they desire to purchase
between the hours of 900 and 1900
a. m. 1t has not yet been definitely
decided, but ii Is thought that each
one and one-half percent. If this
is done it is thought that the county's
quota will be met in full.
"A nuUlDeT Vi tOWuoHlp hSttih6o
have also been arranged for and out
side speakers have been secured for
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday ev-
enings.
The opening of the campaign in
Audubon county, however, will take
place tomorrow afternoon when En-
nett FINLEY of Council Bluffs and
Mrs. L. NJ. Featherstone of Chicago

licitors of the county at the Crescent
theater. At this meeting the quotas
for the various townships will be an
nounced
The Audubon Cornet Band will
furnish music for the occasion and a
lively rally and pep meeting is look
ed for.
Audubon county has made all pre-
vious quotas and no one doubts but
that the Victory loan will be over
subscribed. Everyone feels now that
the war is practically over We should
pay our honest debts. The money
to be raised by this loan has already
ben spent and the people of the Unit
ed States certainly want to close this
matter up in businesslike way. The
people are the government and if the
government has an obligation to pay
it reverts back to the people.

HUNDREDS ATTEND
SPRING OPENING
ENTERPRlSING FIRM OF AUDI
BON GAVE GRAND RECEP-
TION TO THE PUBLIC

Regardless of the rainy condition
of the weather last Thursday even
ing hundreds of people in the city
visited the Alderman Co. store to
attend the grand Pre-Easter Open
ing and live model show which had
been given wide publicity. The
weather was cold and gloomy and
for a while Mr.. Halvorsen, the man.
ager, thought it would be best to
postpone the opening, but finally de-
cided to go ahead. And it was well
that he did. Had the roads been
good the crowd would have been so
great that it would have been i'm
possible to accommodate them. The
attendance, of course, was practical
ly none other than town folks. This
the management regrets in way.
for they had hoped to have the
country people share the good things
with the town people. The doors
opened promptly at seven o'clock and
closed at ten o'clock No sales
were made during these hours.
The store had been profusely deco
rated and everywhere handsome and
stylish merchandise was on display.
Here and there were artificial flow
ers which added much to the gener-
al arrangement and beautiful APP
pearance. Both floors were deco
rated the same.
The two large show windows con-
tanned ladies' ready-to-wear gowns
and other beautiful merchandise ar
ranged in an artistic manner. Never
before had Audubon seen such gor-
geous display windows and they
were the admiration of hundreds of
people, for many paused at the win
dows before entering the store and
again on leaving.
A large platform was built in the
rear of the building on the balcony
leading to the second floor where an
orchestra under the direction of
Miss Norman furnished some excel
lent music. Harry Edwards sang
a number of solos in his usual way,
all of which furnished high class en-
tertainment.
The sensation OF the evening was
the style show which was put on by
seven young ladies who proved most
excellent live models. All kinds of
handsome dresses, suits, coats, capes
and hats were displayed and the
young women looked handsome in
these chick garments. The display
was made on a large platform up
stairs and after being shown UP
stairs the same garments were shown
on a large platform at the foot of
the stairs downstairs. This feature
was greatly appreciated by the
women of Audubon who are still
talking about the great style show.
1t was the first of its kind ever pro-
duced here and the innovation prov
ed exceptionally popular.
The entire arrangement and deco
ration of the store was planned by
Mr.. Halvorsen. No one denies but
that he is past grand master in the
art. His years of experience in
larger cities brings to Audubon a
service that is growing in popularity
and esteem.
Punch and waters were served to
everyone and a pink rose bud was
given to each lady.
The entire force together with the
manager and the models, Misses Es-
Their Fulton. Blanche Fancher. Hell
ena Mcclure, Marguerite Foley, Miss
Jennette Rogers and Sechler went to
the Virgianjan Cafe after the show
where banquet was served.

full affair and gave much pleasure to
Mr.. Wilson who is one Of Audubon's
most prominent citizens and enjoys
the sociability and the association of
his fellowmen.

PROGRAM WELL RENDERED

A musical program and comedy
was given at the Presbyterian church
last Monday evening by local talent
under the direction of Mrs. j. S.
Small A number of the divisions
of the Ladies Aid Society of the
church are raising funds and Mrs.
Small chose this method for her di-
vision. The program was excep-
tionally good and pleased the large
audience present. We were unable
to be preesnt but have heard many
compliments for all taking part.
Mrs. Small deserves much credit for
her work. She has great ability and
presented a company of home folks
that furnished entertainment that
was far beyond the amateur class.

THIMBLE BEE HELD

Mrs. ID. r. Johnson and Mrs. Jay
Eddy gave a thimble bee to the ladies
of the Methodist church in the
church parlors yesterday afternoon.
These ladies had planned to give the
bee at the home of Mrs. Eddy, but
on account of the Indictment weather
it was held in the church. A large
number of the ladies were present to
enjoy the afternoon.
Another delightful gathering of
the Ladies' Aid will be on next
Thursday afternoon when the moth
ers and wives of soldiers will give
talks. This was tried out last month
and proved so delightful and instruc-
tive that the committee in charge
was asked to repeat similar pro-
gram.

GRAVE WALKERS OUT SUNDAY

Sunday was a big day Tor grave
walkers at the cemetery. No. we
do not mean the dead walking about
in their graves. but real live people
walking over the graves instead of
using the paths made about the GEM
eteries for their convenience. This
is not as it should be. especially
when the owners of lots in the GEM
eteries try and do keep the graves of
their departed loved ones in the best
possible condition with grass plots
and flowers. When visiting ceme-
teries from now on. try and bear in
mind that II is not proper to desc
crate the dead by tramping over the
graves.

The appearance of the Drill Squad

scheduled to arrive in Audubon to-
morrow for the Victory loan drive,
has been called off on account of UNI
avoidable reasons. This will be a

FIRE AT HANiLIN

The fire department was called to
Hamlin early this afternoon to extin-
guish fire that originated in the
chicken house of Will Krohn. The
fire had made good Roadway before
being discovered. but a large crowd
of men son gathered and had the fire
under control before the department
reached the scene of action. Not a
great deal of damage was done.
When the fire bellrang it was report
ed that the town of Hamlin was
burning up and needed help but this
was found to be untrue.

ODD FELLOWS TO BANQUET

The Odd Fellows will celebrate the
anniversary of the order this year by
giving a banquet and program at
their hall on Friday evening, April
25th. This banquet is for the Odd
Fellows, their families and visiting
brothers. On account of the war no
gatherings of this nature have been
held for the past two years, but I'M
der present conditions the men feel
that social gathering of this kind
will help much to stimulate interest
in the lodge work. The anniversary
proper falls on Saturday this year,
but many orders are holding their
festivities the day before. The lodges
at Brayton and Gray have been in
vited to be Audubon's guests on that
night.

Dear Sir:-Enclosed please find a
check for $3.50 for renewal Of the
Republican for another year. am
sure no one can kick on the paper,
the only kick being there are so
many new people there who were not
there when left. Everything is on
the boom here. Land has advanced
in price all the way from $25 to $50
per acre. Houses are hard to lind
for rental purposes and you can get
most any kind of a price you ask.
We had a very prosperous year. We
had about five inches of snow last
Thursday night. There is lots of
wheat being put in and everything is
high and I do not think Dakota is
the worst place to live in. Regards
to all.
