DOING A SENSIBLE THING.
Sentiment Should Spread to All
Parts of State. Will Audubon
Adopt It?

Branding certain styles of dane
ing as nothing more or less than
promiscuous hugging and support
ing Dean Turner's recent criticism
of cheap musical comedies and
other forms of alleged loft color
entertainment, the Daily Iowan. Of
ficial organ of the University of
Iowa, in an editorial Tuesday
urges leaders of student organiza-
tions to wage "barefisted fight"
against all forms of immortality
within Iowa City.
Citing the commencement ad-
dress of Dean Frederick Schultz Of
Yale, flaying the nationwide tend
ency toward the "crazy seeking
after gaiety and the increasing ia
miliarities between men and wom-
en-" the editorial says:
We cannot, of course, start to
clean up our neighbor's back
yard until we have our own put in
order. This is a student problem.
It offers an opportunity for under
graduate self-government to vail
date its claim to rightful existence.
eff leaders of student organiza-
tons would wade barefisted into
this thing, enough sentiment ought
to be brewing in a weeks time to
railroad the cheap show and silly
dance into permanent oblivion, so
far as Iowa City is concerned.
"a few soft-minded individuals
always prefer to float with the
current and pooh-pooh any effort
to pull back to solid footing. The
time has come, however, to junk
this laziness and start making
hay"

PEOPLE OF COUNTY
UNITE IN FIGHT
Public Will BE Generous i'm Pur-
chase Of Seals to Help Curb
Ravages Of Disease.

The first gun Of the annual Anti
Tuberculosis Seal Sale was fired
yesterday and now the workers are
counting the days until 10000 OF
the little Christmas Seals have been
bought by Audubon county people.
l.. Dee Mallonee stated yesterday
that every member of the organiza-
tion had his or her part in the pro-
gram laid out and we're only wait
ing for December / to arrive, at
which time they were to begin the
sale.
Seals will be placed in the hands
of every school teacher in the coun-
ty this week, for distribution among
the school children. The same re-
wards will be offered this year as
last year: For the sale of fifty OF
the seals, honorable mention will be
given; for the sale of $50, and honor
badge will be awarded, while each
pupil who sells 500 or more seals
will be given a certificate signed by
the governor Of the state. The pupil
selling the largest number will get
handsome gold ring. Last year this
prize was won by Jane Brooks, the
daughter OF DIR. and Mrs. A. l..
worth of SEALS, That has set good
mark which the boys and girls OF
the county will have hard time in
equaling.
Through the courtesy of the farm
bureau the committee has sent
consignment to every member In the
county, with the request that he buy
them or return them to the chair
man. Inasmuch as much OF the
work of the anti-tuberculosis socie-
ty is done in the. interest of the
farmer, the committee feels that the
sale will receive the hearty support
Of farm bureau members.
The button day sale under the di-
rection of Miss Mae Mclaughlin will
be conducted on the Saturday before
Christmas. Every town in the county
will be included in this sale.
One fact that is pointed out by
the county chairman is that II the
seal sale reaches the goal set that
seventy-five per cent Of the money
will be kept in this county and ap-
piled to local needs. That part Of
it kept at home will be applied to
carrying on the work of the public
health nurse, the encouragement OF
the modern health crusade among
school children, periodical clinics
for the prevention and proper ham
ding of tuberculosis in various
parts of the county and other needs
as they shall present themselves.

SPENT MONEY LIKE
A DRUNKEN SAILOR
LAST NAN IN BIG MAIL ROB-
B1RY IN COUNCIL BLUFFS
TAKEN INTO CUSTODY.

III Keith Collins, missing leader OF
the mail car robbers, who was ar
reeted In Oklahoma early Sunday
morning, arrived in Council Bluffs
Monday in care Of three postal in
spectors.
The Collins party LEFT Kansas
City ON q Burlington train, but
somewhere between that place and
Omaha the party transferred to a
Missouri Pacific train and came into
Omaha on the latter road. Fear of
court action along the road and a
tie-up Of the case by habeas corpus
caused the caution ON the part of
the postal inspectors.
Collins has confessed his part in
the robbery, but none of the loot he
carried away with him has been re-
covered. All sorts OF stories are
afloat as to the disposition he made
Of the valuables, the most authentic
being that he burned million dol
lars In bonds and thousands and
thousands Of ten dollar bills because
he feared they were marked, and he
could not dispose of them. The re-
port adds that Collins kept Just
$500 In bills for himself, but the OF.
ffcers do not believe this part of the
story.
On the pretext that his mother
was dying In Fullerton. Collins hir-
"a q taxi to take the twenty miles
to that town. He was told a train
would be along in ten minutes, but
he preferred taxi. The bill was
S17. "Take S25 for the company
and SO for yourself" he said to the
chauffeur.
At Fullerton he spent money In
the same way and Il was the trail
Of $40 bills which che postal In
spectors followed when they finally
struck his tran at Columbus. The
trail led down into Oklahoma. to the
little town of WestvilIe. where Col
Nns had an uncle living on farm.
The uncle had never seen Collins, he
had read Of the robbery, however,
and knew that Keith Collins was ac-
cused. Collins sensed this and when
he went to his uncle's house he In
troduced himself as his own broth
or. few years younger. For a week
he remained in the home of his un-
Gle and never once betrayed himself.
He and his uncle talked about the
robbery for hours and Keith. acting
the part Of his younger brother. In
Weighed against thet missing Keith
who had brought disgrace on the
family.
Collins spent money like drunk
EN- sailor. He threw ten dollar bills
around like they were one-cent
pieces. He had nothing less than
80 bills, and he tossed out those
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1920-12-02

when he went to pay bill Of any
kind. He didn't wait for any
change.
Collins left Council Bluffs as soon
as his name became connected with
the robbery. That was on Tuesday
night following the crime. The next
day he showed up at Columbus, Neb.
where he had formerly lived, and
where he had sister living. Here
Collins started his money-spending
career. He went to the railroad
roundhouse, where he had worked.
He carried two grips with him, the
ones in which the robbers now in
jail said he had packed 100000 in
ten dollar bills and 100000 in
bonds. 1--WE got them fun of mon
ey," he told the boys at the round
house. II made big strike"
The story of Collins connection
with the robbery had not reached
Columbus at that time. Then Col
Inns brought his sister down town.
He bought her q fine coat, suit,
ten dollar bills. He remained about
Columbus all day. When he bought
coco cola" he tossed the clerk q
tcu uOiidT Uiti anu LUX uO CuduSc.
When he made other small pur-
chases other ten dollar bills were
thrown out.
According TO the reports brought
back to Council Bluffs, Collins
roasted himself up hill and down to
his uncle and when the postal in
spectors walked into the room and
covered the young man with their
guns the uncle insisted they were
making a mistake and arresting the
wrong Collins boy.
Somewhere between Columbus,
Neb., and Westville. Okla, Collins
cached his wealth. He had the two
grips of valuables when he arrived
in Columbus. Reports from Column
bus are that he took only one when
he left that town for Fullerton. Re-
ports from Westville are that he
arrived In that town with a new
grip.
Collins was locked up in the coun-
ty Jail.
"He has come Clean" said Int
spector Noah. "He has confessed.
He says he has burned the bonds.
We found $50 in cash."
"What about the balance Of the
cash?"
Nothing to say"

FRIENDS.

In counting up our many blessings
that we owe Thanksgiving for this
week let us include our friends. We
are certainly blessed with friends
and we ought to value them far
more than we do. Just think for a
minute of the many kind deeds
your friends do fox you. The one
great friend we have is God and
lie is the friend of friends. Think
what He does for humanity; with
out Him we would fall. This world
would not seem half so happy if it
for our Father. Let us all be
thankful for our dear friends and
try to make everybody be a friend
of ours. NJ

A FOOD CROP.

Many farmers throughout the
county conferred their attention
almost exclusively on cotton this
year, to the neglect of anything
in the food line. AS a result,
they are compelled to buy meal
and flour-and incidentally get
less than twenty for their cot
ton.
A good farmer suggested to
the paper this week to urge our
people to at least SOW from one
to five bushels of wheat this fall,
If not more. They then will be
sure Of a flour supply next year
and be independent of the west
ern wheat grower.
In planning for next year you
had better keep "hog and hon.
my" in mind; the general eco
nomic conditions in 1921 are apt
ito be considerably worse than
at present. Lucky will be the
man who will be able to Give and
eat at the same place.
