husband died many years ago and
since then she has been making her
home with a daughter at Tulsa,
Okla About a year ago Mr.. Stat
ford learned of Mrs. Sissme's where
abouts. A correspondence began
which eliminated in the marriage
last Monday.
Mr.. Stafford is one of our substan-
tial citizens. He has lived here
many years and is we'll and favorably
known. About year ago he re-en-
tered the barber business and is at
this time conducting a shop and en-
joying good business. His many
old time friends unite in offering

when congress adjourned. 1t is ex-
pected that Mr.. and Mrs. Green will
visit Audubon some time during the
summer months.
where he was speaker of the day at
Flag Day exercise. The News
Telegraph has the following to say
concerning his visit there:
Atlantic was hostess yesterday to
Congressman w. r. Green of the 9th
Iowa district and she endowed her
visit with her representative in the
house. Congressman Green does
not claim to be a great orator. He
does not claim to be a profound
statesman, whatever that may be,
but what his friends love him for is
he is an honest, conscientious repre-
sentative, looking always after the
business of his constituency and
those whose interests have been
placed in his hands. Congressman
Green has large grasp of'affairs at
Washington. He is a hard worker
and believes in the old fashioned
idea of a man returning something
for what he is paid His service for
the Ninth district has been high
class and one hundred percent. His
reelection will come as a matter of
course which Is at IL should be.

the least of the others is the Free

no way interferes with any other So

essentially unique, the service being
the outgrowth of nearly so years of
work for suffering humanity in this
country. A study of the conditions
in this county disclosed wherein the
army can be of service and the ad-

NOW IN CALIFORNIA
Audubonites Feel They Have Left a
Good Place for One no Better
Los Angeles, June II, 10

Los Angeles, June II, 1920.
l see by your paper of June Bird
that left for California by auto but
l will say that we came here by way
of the Union Pacific and Salt Lake
freight on June End or the day we
left Audubon, but l presume news
paper man is as liable to make mis-
takes as anyone else, but cannot
cover them up as easily, as for in
stance, the NJ. DIS can. Well, If you
can allow a democrat a little of
your space l will endeavor to write of
the different things as find them
here. In the first place find none
of the cheap things which have
been told were to be had here. This
country lives largely on the eastern
tourist and as near as can see they
know their business. l will send
you a list of grocery prices, articles
which my sister had purchased for
us, as we arrived on Saturday even
ing and could not puy anything on
Sunday, and by comparing these
with the prices back east you can
judge for yourselves. The list is as
follows: II eggs CSC; two lbs. of
bacon $3.50; one Id. butter Csc; five
lbs. potatoes soc; one quart milk
Ice; one lb. coffee 4Sc; one shaker
OF salt lie; five lbs. -four soc: two
loaves of bread 32c; two one lb. cans
of jam zoe; two bars of soap 15c;
one box of matches 7c; one lb. CAL
umet baking powder soc; and pies
are great luxury-they cost soc
each.
AS to residence properties, consid-
ering the material they put into them
here, think they are nearly as
high as back in Audubon, but of
course here it depends largely on
the location. If you buy in an un-
restricted district you can buy for
less money.
OF course l have not been here
very long and perhaps have not sized
the situation up just right but as for
people back in Iowa who contemp-
late coming here l would say do not
picture yourself California too much
of paradise as you may find some
things here that are not nearly what
you expected. But the climate and
the flowers and fruits and the much
talked ofocean breeze are surely fine
and il we can find a suitable place at
price we think is nearly right, l
see no reason why we would not be
pleased with our move and would be
glad to see more Audubon people
here. Later on when I am in bet
ter position to write about southern
California I may give you a better
writeup, providing the editor can
spare the space.
Would be very glad to hear from
Audubon people and will try to an
swer any questions they may ask
about this country. / desire to send
special greeting to the W. o. WIS
and the I. o. o. F's and would be
glad to hear from any of them.
Yours truly,
HANS HANSEN.

HARDING DECIDES
TO RETAIN SEAT
WILL CONTINUE AS U. S. sENAT-
OR UNTIL THE INAUGURATION
NEXT MARCH

Warren G. Harding, the republi-
can presidential nominee does not
intend to retire from the United
States senate until his term CT Office
expires or March 4th.
There is no possibility of that"
Senator Harding declared when ask
ed whether he would resign from
the senate Immediately.
II do not intend to resiSl, but in
tend to serve my terra out. Why
shouldn't II"
81 do, however, intend to with
draw my petition filed last week in
Columbus, giving notice that would
be candidate for reelection to the
senate. This will be done this
week"
Senator Harding's friends explain
ed that for him to retire from the
senate would endanger the narrow
margin of control held by the repub-
licans there, as his retirement would
enable Governor Cox of Ohio to ap-
point a democrat in his place. They
also said that should the senator be
elected president in November, he
could continue to serve in the senate
as he would not be inaugurated until
his term expired on March 4th.
The senator was at his office early
Tuesday winding up some pending
senate business. His only fixed en-
gagement was with Leslie M. Shaw,
former secretary of the treasury,
who called, it was understood, to dis
cuss matters pertaining to publicity
in connection with the coming cam
paign.
"Only matters pertaining to the
campaign were discussed with Sem
ator Harding" said Mr.. Shaw after
an hours conference with the nomi-
nee. "The election of the candidate
is first business before us now. We
did not discuss policies"
There was little abatement in the
stream of congratulatory messages
reaching Senator Harding's office.
The messages included one from
Henry Lane Wilson, former ambas-
sador to Mexico, assuring the Ohio
senator of his support.

ty the state auditor supervised his expenses accounts. Donahey an- swered: Judge when man eats S5.4O worth in one day to keep body and soul together, as auditor or state l do not consult the law, as the guardian of the taxpayers money, I consult my conscience"
 Judge Vickery wrote that he m tended to live at a first class hotel land l propose" he added, "to have the money necessary therefor, and II the state of Ohio won't pay it, I'll either go without the money or know the reason why the state don't pay it." Auditor Donahey in re plying, said: "You will go without the money all right, Judge. just as long as I am auditor of the state, unless the supreme court orders me to pay.'
 The state auditor holds that re- gardless of the high cost of living S5 per day is sufficient to cover both lodging and meals for any and all public officials. In commenting on this huling, MT. Donahey said he did not question for moment that Judge Vickery had actual yspent S5.4O for his meals.

Plan Congresses
 Along the Wharves Near Galveston

Galveston, Texas, May 15,-Plans
 have been adopted by the Galveston
 Wharf Go. for the construction of six
 new cotton congresses. They will
 be located at shipside, on the water
 front. Much importance is attached
 to the proposed improvements, as
 they will enable the loading of com
 pressed cotton bales direct from the
 presses into the holds of the steam
 ships.
 The congresses will be equipped
 with monorail and overhead con-
 veyances. According to J. H. W. Steele, who has the contract for
 constructing and operating the com
 presses for the Galveston Wharf Co.,,
 the applying of high density com
 oression to cotton bales at shipside
 will give the steamships more carry ng capacity and improved stowage.
 The sub-port of Texas City now is the only port on the gulf with high density presses at shipside. To Benefit Shippers. Reduction in freight rates and the abolition of delays in handling cot lge will save millions of dollars to 'IllppeIS, IL 10 dSSSIGCu. AHOluGI immense saving will be effected by
 he presses, for when they are put n operation interior shippers can procure through bills of ladine over Ill steamship lines entering Calves ton.
 ]! Under the present scheme, inte- for shippers can get only local bills If lading on their cotton shipped trough Galveston, and ocean bills If lading are not given them until he cotton has been compressed in nigh density presses here and then witched or draved from the land >resses to shipside. Frequently 30 lays delay is ccca stoned in waitinne before bankable bills of lading can ! oe obtained.
 Under the new scheme a shipper can bank their through bills of lad ng to foreign ports the moment they gre signed by the rail carriers, get ;her credit, relieve the banks, and ave large sums in interest, besides heir saving in ocean rates, dispatch and trouble
 | Will Relieve Rush Season. ] The battery of presses, when con- ,lete, will relieve Galveston of the l train during the rush season. and
 unable the land congresses, railways md warehouses here to further de- relop their port storage and concen- 1 ration facilities with new business Steele said.
 In the work of carrying out the 1 contract with the Galveston Wharf 1 %. for installing and operating the l lew presses. Steele has associated l with A. J. Dossett of Waco, one of ! The best known cotton compressmen 1 n the south The initial investment will represent about $500,000. The ! ix presses will have 24-hour ca ] ,acity of 1900 bales.
 1 There will be Is high-density press l IS in Galveston when the new contract l filled. At present, nine are in oper ! tion in various parts of the city n addition there are three high h-den !! ity presses at Texas City.
