BUYS HALF INTEREST
IN BUSINESS HERE

Allan Biggs, who with his brother
Clyde Biggs of Guthrie Center, have
had the county agency in AUDUBON
and Guthrie counties for the Delco
Light Products, this week sold a
half interest in the business here to
E. w. Weeks, Jr., of Guthrie Center,
The change was made Monday and
hereafter the business will be known
as the Electrical Supply Co.
The new member of the firm is
the son of F.. w. Weeks, a prominent
lawyer of Guthrie Center, and is one
of the hustling and industrious
young men of that city. For more
than three years Mr.. Weeks was as
sistant manager of the Port Huron
Machinery Co., of Des Moines. When
the war broke out he entered the
service and served with credit until
he was honorably discharged last
September. On returning from the
service he went back to his former
position which he held until a few
days ago.
The writer has known Mr. Weeks
several years and knows him to be
young man of high character and
exceptional business ability. Mr..
Biggs has already demonstrated that
he is a hustler and the two young
men ought to make a winning team.
We predict they will enjoy a large
and increasing business.
The new firm will continue to
handle the Delco LightProducts and
all kinds of electrical appliances and
supplies and will remain in their
present location.

A bill before congress now known
as the "Nolan Land Tax Bill'' is at
tracing the attention of land owners
because it imposes a heavy tax on
land. The farmers should put up a
fight against this bill at once or they
will get a load showed on them be-
fore they know it.
The American Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton is going to deal it heavy
blow in the near futufe. Evary
Farm Bureau member Is going TO
get chance to vote on this bill very
soon. After the votes are assembled
they will be presented to congress
and will really give the Farm Bur-
eau representative the proper cre-
dentials to stop the passage Of the
bill.
The main feature of the bill is as
follows: "A bill introduced by
Representative Nolan in the house
of representatives which is for rails
firms, associations, and corpora
tions owning land in excess of s10,-
900, whether in possession or leased
to others shall be subject to an ex-
else tax upon the land at the rate Of
one percent and not including i'm
provements the result in whole or in
part Of the application OF labor to
land" Notice that the bill does not
figure In the improvements. What
does city land amount to without
improvements What does the
small eastern state farms amount to
without improvements?
Let us take an illustration Of
what 1t would cost farmer owning
200 acre farm valued at $500 an
acre, which would have a total valu-
alton of 100000. Take away
$4,000 for improvements, leaving
$4,000. Then all over $4,000
which would be $4,000 would be
taxed at the rate Of one percent or
$500 per year or SO per acre.
There are 275S113.s6 acres in Au-
dubon county and 1872 farmers
which would make an average OF
165 acres per farm valued at s225
per acre.
r.. B. Thomas. president of the
Audubon County Farm Bureau has
asked every president of the town
ship organizations to call meeting
and get the farmers vote.

EASTER SUNDAY AT
THE METHODIST CHURCH

Easter Sunday was big day at
the Methodist church in Audubon.
The services for the day began with
a six O'Clock prayer meeting and the
Sunday school room was we'll filed.
The large number present fully APP
preciated the service which was led
by the pastor, Rev, d. J. Shenton.
After the prayer service a break
fast was served in the diningroom in
the basement of the church. The
Good Fellowship Glass was host to
the members of the classes taught by
Miss Harriet Bilharz. Miss Mccarthy,
Mrs. H. c. Rogers and DR.. e. L..
Fitch. Thirty-seven girls, seven boys
and twenty-seven members OF the
Good Fellowship class were seated
at the tables. The breakfast was
thoroughly enjoyed by everyone
present, but instead of being a Tight
breakfast" it was real meal, the
menu consisting Of grape fruit, ham
and eggs, potatoes, spread, bread,
butter and coffee and plenty of it.
The innovation was introduced by
the pastor but when he mentioned the
matter to the Good Fellowship Glass
the idea met with aheartyresopnse 1t
was delightful affair and resulted
in extending the good fellowship so
much needed in our churches today.
The pastor delivered very appro-
pirate sermon at eleven o'clock fol-
lowing a most interesting Easter les
son in the Sunday school which had
an attendance of 1870.
The Epworth League at z o'clock
was largely attended and the service
was led by Miss Elaine Graham and
Miss Bernice Fancher
The hour for the evening service
was devoted principally to music.
Little Miss Cathryn Graham sang a
beautiful solo which was followed
by duet, "Oh Jesus Thou Art Stand
ing" sung by Elinor Rachel and
Jaunita Keith. Both of these num-
bers were well rendered and high
ly appreciated After the announce
ments and few remarks by the pas
tor, a double quartette composed of
Mrs. Martin Kjer, Mrs. Flora Free
man, Miss Denney. Miss Beulah
Reed, j. w. Landrum. w. W. Smith,
f. G. Sampson and II. J. Hoogenak-
ker rendered the cantata Easter
Praise" The church was crowded
to its full capacity and the large au-
dience greatly enjoyed the mus
zeal program.

MANY WILL SEE
CADDoCK IN ACTION

A great Homecoming" s
what the Earl Caddock- Wladek
Zbyszko wrestling match in Des
Moines next Monday night will be.
For it will be Caddock's first appear
ance in a big graphing contest in
Iowa since his return from France
where he served with the SSth di-
vision.
Caddock was reared in this state.
He grew from an unknown wrestler
to worlds champion in iowa. At
ter winning the title he defended It
successfully five times in Des Moines
before enormous crowds. He made
his home there for many months
while be served at Camp Dodge
Caddock returned from overseas,
took rest of several months and be-
gan wrestling but. he did not appear
in this state. He did not work up
gradually to big match, either, but
tackled Joe Stecher right off the
bat and was shorn of his title by
the Nebraskan's famons scissors
hold.
He has admitted that he made a
mistake, not only in meeting Steeher
too soon but in tackling him in New
York where his friends were unable
to be at the ringside to give him
their moral support. They are prov
ing that they are willing to give it
to him by the way they are ordering
tickets for the coming match. From
appearances the Coliseum will be
packed next Monday night as full as
IL was two years ago when crowd
which at that time was next to the
largest that ever attended mat
event, rooted for him.
Caddock met Yussif Hussane in a
test match at Sioux City Wednesday
night. That contest showed he
was really ready for hard match
with the big powerful Zbyszko.
No less than SO Audubon county
fans will attend the match next
Monday night. Caddock who wrestl-
ed here four years ago has many adj
mirers in Audubon.

new COUNCIL IS
DULY INDICTED
OLD COUNCIL FINISHED UP BUS
MESS AND NEW OFFICERS
TOOK CHARGE MONDAY

Mayor John CoZine and the menu
bers of the old city council met at
the council chamber Monday evening
to finish up the work of their adj
ministration. A large list of bills
were allowed and a couple of defer
red resolutions were passed after
which the council adjourned sine die.
B. z. Rice, city clerk, administers
ed the oath of office to r. ID.
Hawks, the newly elected mayor and
later administered the same oath to
the new councilmen, A. F. Beason,
Ed F. Johnson. Geo. Foley and F. ID.
Lane.
There was much business claiming
the attention of the newly organized
body After the bond of Mayor
Hawks had been accepted and APP
proved the council adjourned to
meet as a board of health. There
being no business claiming their at
tention in that capacity the board
of health adjourned and the council
met as a board of review. Asses
sor A. L. Viewer was present and
presented his books. Several of the
books were examined and at a late
hour the board of review adjourned
to a later date. 1t is more than
likely that the board of review will
be in session several nights before
their work is completed.
Mayor Hawks did not make any
Of his appointments, prefering to
wait until after the board Of revisw
has completed its work. The
mayor will have the appointment OF
a. city marshal and the council will
have the appointment of the city
clerk When the city council meets
again, Mayor Hawks will appoint his
standing committees for the year.
Mayor Cozine and the retiring
members of the council, A. +. Bea-
son. e. NJ. Johnson, VIM. Rucker
and H. G. Rice have performed their
work we'll They have given Audu-
bon a splendid administration and
there are only words of commenda-
ton for their acts.
The new administration desires to
be of real service to the community
and is entitled to the united support
of every citizen. There is much
business of Importance before them
and it will tax" lot of good judg-
ment and sound business sense 10
keep everything running smoothly.

GROUP OF PASTORS
ATTEND CONVENTION
FIRST MEETING OF SERIES OF
THE WEEK HELD AT THE
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

A movement in the direction of
the greatest program the evangelical
churches of the United States have
ever attempted, was set forth in the
inter-church county convention held
in the Presbyterian church in Audu-
bon Tuesday. These county con-
ventions are being put on all over
the country this week and the one
held in Audubon Tuesday was part
of the program which is being car
ried out throughout the state.
The members of the speakers team
Rev. nj. M. Cable of Denison; the
Rev. ]. F. Catlin and Rev. d. =.
Cleveland of Council Bluffs; Rev.
Claude r. Cook of Gray; and Mrs.
Leitch of Lake City. Various
phases of the inter-church work were
presented by the people and the i'm
preston was left that the work was
of very important character.
Subjects handled covered discus
sions of the foreign survey and the
home survey, the evangelistic field
and the stewardship department.
Rev. Catlin stated the purpose of the
inter-church movement in the open
ing address which followed the de-
votional services which were con-
Quoted by the team leader, Rev.
Cable. Rev. Catlin put before the
audience some interesting explana-
lions of the movement, one of which
is important for all people to remem-
Der and that is that the plan does
not involve consolidation or organic
union, but coordination of effort and
activity. In some cases consolidation
probably will grow out of 1t as 1t
perhaps would prove more profitable
II such were to be the case, but such
developments as these are to come
only as the movement itself reveals
such needs.
Again in the afternoon Mr.. Catlin
presented the evangelistic proposal,
setting forth plan of evangelication
which should eliminate with May
23rd or the anniversary of Pente-
cost. A detailed plan Of visitation
was in his plan D. ID in very force
full manner heE,et forth what the
needs would b and what the results
might be.
The address of the Foreign Survey
was given by Mr. Cook, pastor of the
church at Gray. Showing that the
needs Of the foreign field were never
greater and that they had only mad
equately been met, he gave figures
and facts to show that on America
rested the great burden of evangel-
-izing the world. The whole world
looked to America.
For instance some figures show
the situation as presented by Mr..
Cook and as set forth in his address.
The number of missionaries sent out
by the United States and Canada
would not supply New York City in
doctors, ministers or nurses. Here
are the figures he gave. New York
City has 1916 clergymen; United
States and Canada have sent 2678
ministers as missionaries. New
York has SS41 doctors. United
States and Canada have sent ont SIS
medical missionaries. New York
has 1921 graduate nurses. United
States and Canada have sent to the
mission fields only 131 graduate
nurses.
The composite address dealing
with life service, stewardship, evan
gellsm and missionary education was
given by Mr. Cleveland He dealt
with the needs of the field in this de-
pertinent. He showed the great

ANITA MAN KILLED
NEAR HAMLIN
WAS RETURNING HOME FROM
GRAY WHERE SON PUR-
CHASED RESTAURANT

Audubon people We're greatly sur
prised last Monday evening when
word reached town that man had
been found dead in the road under
meath an auto at point six miles
south of the city near the home Of
Chris KirI
The man was found about $50 by
F. d. Lane, the monument man who
was returning to Audubon. Mr..
Lane tried 10 release him but could
not. He took his jack, put it un-
der the car, raising it high enough
to take the weight of the car off his
body. Help soon arrived and the
man was released. DIR. Haloran
was called but the man was dead be-
fore he got there Sheriff Wilson
was also called and after an examin-
attion the body was taken to the
undertaking establishment of Corl
e. Terhune at Extra. Dean Roe,
formerly of Anita, but now of Extra,
identified the man as George For
dyee of Anita.
Mr.. Fordyce and his son Raymond
went to Gray Monday afternoon
where they purchased a restaurant.
He remained in Gray until about
five o'clock. He stopped here in
the city ON his way back home, and
il must have ben about six o'clock
when he left Audubon.
From all indications the radius
rod on the car broke, causing Mr..
Fordyde to lose complete control.
The marks in the road indicate that
he zig-zaged from one side of the
road to the other and when the
car upset he was in the middle of
the road. Mr.. Fordyce was lying
underneath the back door of the
car, the weight of the car being
across the shoulders 1t is thought
that his neck was broken as he
lived but a few minutes after he had
been released.
Mr.. Fordyce was well known in
Anita, where he lived for many
years. He was engaged in the jew
elry business for rs years, retiring
from business about three years
ago. His wife, who was an inval-
i'd, died about year ago. He is
survived by four children, Ray
Fmond and Lillian of Anita; Mrs. AL
bert Berger of Kansas City, Mo-;
and Glenn of Longmont, Colo. He
is also survived by several brothers
and sisters. He was about sixty
years of age.
Funeral services will be held at
the Congregational church in Anita
this afternoon and interment will
be made in Evergreen cemetery. De-
ceased was prominent member of
the Odd Fellows, and was also a
faithful worker in the Congrega-
tional church.

MARoUEsES WINS CASE

Stock companies promoting the
sale of stock in Iowa cannot legally
Issue stock for less than par value,
the Iowa supreme court held Monday
in an opinion handed down in case
from Audubon county.
The opinion was rendered in the
case of L. e. Tramp VS. Evans Mar
quesen. Tramp sued Marquesen to
recover on contract for subscrip-
ton for stock in a brick and tile
plant, Tramp being the assignee of
the company. Marquesen refused
to pay for the stock or live up to his
contract on the ground that his
contract provided for delivery to him
of 5000 shares of stock for $4,000.
This he declared was contrary to law
and cited section 1641-a of the Iowa
code as his defense.
This section says that no corpora
ton, except building and loan asso-
Citations, "shall issue stock or any
substitute therefor until the corpo-
ration has received the par value
thereof"
The supreme court held in its
opinion that Marquesen was right
in his position, and reversed the dis
trict court in the case.
This case was tried In the Audu-
bon county district court at the Feb
ruary term, 1919, before Judge
Woodruff resulting in decision for
Mr.. Tramp. The case was carried
to the supreme court by Mr.. Mar
quesen which resulted in the above
stated reversal.
