BERT HAYES KILLED
IN AUTO ACCIDENT
When Returning to His
Home in the Country,
This Morning.

A very serious accident occurred
about ten o'clock this morning a
few miles northeast of town when
Bert Hayes, who was returning to
his farm home from Extra, collided
with another car at turn in the
road near the Riley schoolhouse.
1t is almost impossible to obtain
an accurate account of the acci-
dent as many reports are afloat
concerning it but it seems that MIR.
Hayes was on his way home and
was travelling at a good rate of
speed. A gentleman from Bayard,
accompanied by his wife, was on
his way to Brayton, and was driv-
ing a Ford. They stated that they
saw the car just before iT reached
them and brought their car to a
stop, but the Hayes car, in turning
did not quite clear their auto and
ran into it, catching the front wheel
OF the Ford, turning the Hayes
car over and over. When found
the car had righted itself and MIR
Hayes was sitting upright in the
front seat, lifeless, with a broken
neck and crushed skull. He leaves
a wife and two children.
A coroner's inquest is being held
over. the body. Obituary next
week.

TWO LADIES BITTEN
BY FAMILY DOG

Mrs. V. j. Anciaux and daugh-
ter, Ruth, were both badly bitten
by a bull dog owned by the family,
last Wednesday evening.
Miss Ruth, on returning home
after the band concert, removed
her shoe, and later found the dog
chewing at it. Her mother at
tempted to take it away when the
dog seized her right wrist. Ruth
then rushed to her assistance and
tried to get the beast to loosen his
hold, whereupon he turned on her,
seizing her likewise by the right
wrist and holding on tenaciously
until her sister, Ivah, came to the
rescue, grabbing the dog by the
collar and choking him until he
fell. She held him in this position
until Mr.. Anciaux, who had heard
their screams, arrived on the scene
and killed the animal with a
hammer.
Both ladies received some bad
wounds, Mrs. AnciauX receiving
five or six lacerations on the wrist.
The attending physician reports
the wounds as getting along nicely
The head Of the beast was sent
to Iowa City to be examined for
rabies.

10 days. He is survived by his wife

YOUNG LAD FOUND
DEAD IN OATS BIN
Supposed to Have Fallen in
Bin and Covered with
Load of Oats.

About noon Tuesday the lifeless
body OF Seigo Hansen, twelve-year-
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Hans
Hansen, who reside few miles
east of Extra, was found in the
oats bin at his parents home. The
body was discovered by Guy
Steinmetz when loading oats from
the bin.
The bin was over corn crib and
an elevator was used to elevate the
oats into it. 1t is thought that
while playing close to the bin he
accidentally fell in and was unable
to make anyone hear his cries.
They were threshing and, not
knowing he was there, load of
oats was dumped into the bin,
smothering him to death.
Guy Steinmetz, it seemed, was
later loading oats into a wagon
from the bin when the spout thru
which the oats were pouring be-
came clogged. In trying to find
the trouble he reached his hand
into the spout and. in doing SO got
hold of one of the boys legs. He
had then been dead several min
lltns

OUR WEATHER EYE
What Parties Promise

| The second issue of the present
presidential contest from the stand.
point of the people of Audubon
county is clearly the attitude OF
the two big parties toward the
people who farm. Both have
gone definitely on record so that
we are able to judge fairly between
them on the basis of statements
officially formulated and adopted
The democratic party stands for:
Cd Effective measures to sus-
tain, amplify and perfect the rural
credits statutes.
/. (2) The confirmation to the
farming class of the right of collec-
tive bargaining.
(3) Theright of cooperative han
ding and marketing of farm
products.
(4) Legislation to facilitate the
expectation Of such products.
(5) Careful studies of farm pro-
ductlon costs and the uncensored
publication of the facts found in
such studies.
The republican party stands
definitely and clearly for four Out
OF the five principles stated. above
but makes no mention of the sec
ond, that relating to collective
bargaining. However, it upholds
three Others which are not men
toned in the foregoing list, but
which, just at present at least,
seem to be of very great import
ance to farmers. They are:
% An end to unnecessary price
fixing and ill-considered efforts ar
bltrarily to reduce the prices of
farm products.
70 those who hold it against the
present administration that it has
apparently 'endeavored in every
possible way to hold down the
| prices of farm products to the END
4
! that the cost of living might be re-
duced, " this plank in the republi-
can platform will doubtless seem
quite satisfactory.
(2) Adequate farm representa-
tion in the appointment of govern
mental officials and commissions.
In this, too, many have held the
present administration seriously at
fault. The Journal has o'ten re-
ferred to the fact that "The voice
OF the farmer is not heard at
| Washington" Not even the sec
retary of agriculture has been a
farmer; and in very many cases at
least, the interests of farmers have
been ignored at times when they
were rightly entitled to the utmost
consideration.
(3) An attempt to provide ade-
quate facilities for tpansp porting,
receiving, handling and marketing
food.
This seems particularly timely
lnasmuch as our transportation
systems have become nearly par.
alyzed with the result that it i:
nearly impossible to get farm prod
ucts to market.
1t is perhaps not too much te
say that on the basis of their plat
forms, the republican position vii
probably be more favorably re
garded by the farming class gen
orally than will that of the demo
Gratis. We have yet to hear, how
ever, and to compare, the state
ments of the presidential candi
dates, themselves. Mr.. Harding
is already on record; and as soo1
as we have heard from Mr.. Cox
Journal readers will be given ,
chance to compare the views o
the two standard bearers as to tn,
kind OF treatment that the farming
class should have from the admin
istration.
