FORMER AUDUBON MAN
MEMBER OF NEW CONCERN

The many friends of F. l.. Drake
will be interested in knowing that he
has just become one of the big stock
holders in new loan company that
has just been organized at Newton.
Mr.. Drake lived here during his boy
hood days and married one of Audu-
bon's splendid young women, the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. A. M. Cur
rier.
We learn from the Newton Daily
News that the Morgan-Drake Loan
Co. has Incorporated for 500, 200. 90
and that they will begin loaning
money on Jasper county real es-
tate as soon as the certificate has
been issued by the secretary of state.
The daily paper has the following to
say concerning Mr.. Drake:
"F. l.. Drake, secretary and treas
urer of the firm and one of the larg-
est stockholders will give most of his
time to the loan department of the
company. He is man of wide ex-
perience in this work-having been 9

BAND A BIG ATTRACTION
Large Musical Organization to be
Headliner for Chautaugua

John G. Weber, the American
bandmaster, who is being brought to
Chautauqua this summer with his
prize band of America, is another
great leader like Thaviu and Kryl
whom the Redpath Vawter people
brought to their circuit in years
past.
For seventeen years Mr. Weber
has been looked upon by the eastern
cities as one of the leading band
masters in America. National
band contests we're held at st. Louis
Weber's artists carried off first
prize. Last summer their chautau-
qua time was taken by the big
Methodist Centenary celebration at
Columbus, where they played before
an aggregate attendance Of 1,000.-
900 people. All the worlds fairs
and state fairs, and expositions in
both Canada and the United States
are numbered in Weber's long list of
engagements.
Most people point out two things
as contributing factors in making
the Weber band so popular. In the
first place. all the musicians are art
lists in the famous Cincinnati SYM
phony Orchestra, and are therefore
the highest type of band musicians
on the market. AS the Chicago
Tribune says, Containing the best
material. they are able to produce a
quality of tone exceptionally fine
and pure" In the second place
Weber is generous with his encores.
The Des Moines Register points out
that they merit the title of The
Encore Band" For the chautau-
qua program, Weber has planned
from sixteen to twenty encore num-
bers each for afternoon and even
ing concerts.
Miss Katherine Hoch, American
soprano, is on tour with the band,
and will give solos during the pro-
gram. Enrico Caruso pronounces
her voice one of the best he has ever
heard. Miss Lulu Mcclellan,
whistling soloist, also is a feature
numbered on the program.
All in all, the greatest day for the
whole countryside promises to be
Chautauqua band day.

WHAT HAvNER STANDS FOR

H. M. Havner, candidate for the
republican nomination for governor
at the June primaries, solicits your
support upon definite platform in
which he declares his position upon
important issues before the people of
Iowa today. One OF his most en-
phasized planks is his fight for the
enactment of law in Iowa which
will provide for court of industrial
relations to settle disputes between
capital and labor through legal and
orderly means, rather than by strikes
and lockouts.
Strikes and lockouts have cost ev-
cry citizen of Iowa money during the
past year. The coal strike and the
present railway troubles have pre-
vented the farmers from marketing
their live stock and grain, and are in
part responsible for the present
shortage of cars. Strikes and lock-
outs have thrown thousands of
Iowans out of work in recent months
against their will, and have caused
Inconvenience and suffering to the
public which has not been represent
ed in the settlement of these dis
putes.
Havner is making a square fight to
adopt a new principle In the adjust
ment of these questions. If you be-
lieve that labor troubles should be
settled by compulsory arbitration be-
fore a strike is called, rather than
through first calling a strike and lat
er arbitrating it, he is your man. He
stands also for law enforcement, bus
mess methods in state administra-
ton, and a cleaning out of the ma
chine which has controlled Iowa
public affairs for the past two years.
He favors enactment of soldier bonus
legislation granting Iowa fighters as
liberal treatment as that extended
by any state TO their service men. He
is a native lowan, who was born and
raised as farmer. who worked as
farm laborer in his youth, and who
is the owner of several farm proper
ties today operated under his per-
sonal direction. He is a graduate of
Simpson college, at the state uni
versity of Iowa, veteran of the
Spanish-American war, and has made
a substantial success in his own bust
ness. He has bitter opposition
from those who have suffered
through his enforcement of the laws.
and is fought by political ringsters
everywhere because he is not a cog
in any machine, and will not be un-
der obligations TO any political
clique IL elected. He is not asking
for your vote because he is a good
fellow, fine orator, politician, or
the representative Of special inter-
ests. He presents definite plat
form, and asks for your active sup
port IL he stands for the things in
government in which YOU believe

Income Tax Facts You Should Know.

1
Bride grooms are worrying as to
how they shall figure their income tax
A constant stream of inquiries from
the newlyweds is reaching the internal
revenue officials. In many Of these
cases both the bride and groom were
employed up to the wedding date: and
the principal point on which advice is
asked is as to whether the brides in
come must be shown on the groom's
return.
The answer as given by the internal
revenue men is that all Of the earn
ings and other income of both the bride
and the groom for the year 1919 must
be considered, even if it was all spent
on trOusseau. diamonds, wedding trips,
and bOnbons. The fact that they were
married on or before Dec. 81 joins
them for the whole year, SO far as
income tax is concerned.
A bride of 1919 is in duty bound to
figure up her income and to add it to
hubby's 1919 earnings to determine
whether an income tax return is re-
quired. If the total was $1,000 or
more, a return must be made; in which
case both bride and groom may file
separate returns, or must file joint
return. The latter method is preferred
by the collectors, unless the aggregate
net income Of both husband and wife
is $1,000 or over
And they all want to know whether,
although married only part of the year
1919, they are entitled. to claim full
exemption as married couple The

Shipping Association.
The farmers of Clear Lake township

Friday, no definite action was taken
on the matter. The plan, however, is
to form an association through which
the farmers will ship their own live
stock. A SIMILAR organization is to be
