EXTRA MAN A SUICIDE
Body Found in Depot at Chicago
Sent to Extra for Burial

That Ralph Akers, resident of Ex-
ira, came to his death in Chicago by
his own hand, is the word that has
been received by relatives, although
the method which he employed to
end his life is not known. The
message came from the chief of po-
lice in Chicago and was addressed to
the mayor of Extra. 1t contained
the information that Akers had upon
his person when picked up, $4,000
in Liberty bonds and $500 in money.
Akers had left home Wednesday
night after a few days stay follow
ing an absense of six weeks from his
family. The family knew nothing
of his destination, until notified of
his death by the undertaken in
charge of the body. He telephoned
Mrs. Akers that her husband had
dropped dead in the union depot, and
advised her to come at once Accord
ingly, Mrs. Akers and her uncle,
Nate Turner went to Chicago last
Thursday night to bring the body to
Extra for burial.
Mrs. Akers and Mr.. Turner re-
turned to Extra with the body Mon
day. Funeral services were held
at the Christian church Tuesday af-
ternOon conducted by Rev Matson
of Des Moines, former pastor. In
terment was made in the Extra Ceme-
terry.

THEY SAVED MONEY

Last week several OF our friends
came to US and told us that a certain
party had placed talking machine
in their home on trial. These ma
chimes were something new and our
friends knew nothing about them
and asked us to take one of our in
struments to their home so they
could compare them. In each case
we took out instruments selling at
less money than the other fellow
asked and the customers ALL said,
THE Audubon Music Co. instrument
is the best for less money" They
bought our standard make instru-
ment and saved money besides.
When the agent leaves a machine
at your home just stop at the Music
Store and tell us and we will take
out any instrument you want to use
for comparison.
Then you will know the differ
ence.
Know What You Buy!

DEEMS VISITED AUDUBON
Candidate for Governor Met Many
Audubon Voters Last Saturday

John F. Deems of Burlington, re
publican candidate for governor be-
fore the June primaries spent the
greater part of Saturday in Audubon
visiting the voters. Mr.. Deems
was cordially received and was
greatly pleased with the hospitality
accorded him.
Mr.. Deems is not making a speak
ing campaign. Instead he is going
from county to county meeting the
voters personally. This was the
S5th county he had visited and be-
fore the primary on June 9TH hopes
to have visited every county in the
state
Mr.. Deems is a farmer near Bur
lington. During the war he was
food administrator in Iowa and in
that capacity made a wide aCquaint-
ance. He is a man of ability and
would no doubt give Iowa a good
business administration if he were
elected.
While in the city Mr.. Deems stat
ed that the voters of Iowa would
make grave mistake if they did not
return Albert B. Cummins to the
United States senate. He believes
Cummins has made a splendid re
cord at Washington and should be
returned to continue his work.
w. d. Miller of Ogden accompa-
MED Mr.. Deems and said that the
race for the gOvernorship had mar
rowed down between Nate Kendall
and Mr.. Deems. 1t is also quite
probable that the winner will receive
the necessary 35 percent in the pri-
mary so that it will not go to the
convention.

HEREFORD SALE
A BIG SUCCESS
BREEDERS FROM MANY STATES
HERE TUESDAY TO GET
PART OF OFFERING

Audubon was about the busiest
place on earth Tuesday when hun
dreds of pure bred cattle breeders
were in the city to attend the fifth
annual sale of Larland Herefords
sold by August Johnson.
Mr.. Johnson's offering was the
largest and best this year he had ev-
er put in the sales ring, and while
the average was not as large as in
previous years, it was not because of
the quality of the cattle. The finan-
cial stringency at this time was re-
sponsible for the Iower average.
This was not only true of Mr.. Jorn-
sons sale but all sales that have been
held during the past three weeks.
August Johnson Is as well known
as any other breeder in the bust
ness. He is well liked by all of
them. His method of dealing with
them meets their approval and they
are always anxious 20 attend his
sales.
Tuesday was an ideal day and the
sale pavilion at the fair grounds
was taxed to its utmost. capacity.
There were 81 lots in the offering
and the average was $525. The
highest priced cow in the lot was sold
to Frank Fox of Indianapolis, Ind,
and brought $3.50. The highest
priced bull was sold to r. Williams
of Extra at $4,000. Following is
the list of purchasers and the prices

Lloyd's first series of feature laugh
producers with such phenomenal sue
decided to make the second series, of
which High and Dizzy" is the first,
so much funnier that there can not be
the slightest doubt but that Harold
Lloyd is firmly established as the
screens greatest comedian, an opinion
voiced by the nations critics and the
approval of the public.
High and Dizzy" showing at the
Amazon theatre November 81, with
the quality of its production and the
quantity of its laughs, lives up to the
promises made for the second series
the Mirthquake Specials.
Mildred Davis, the pretty blond
coincidence who gains new friends
with every new Lloyd picture, con-
tinues as leading lady, and Harley M
Walker writes the sub-titles. Pathe is
the distributor.
Charles Woods, proprietor of the
Amazon theatre, states that the new
Harold Lloyd comedies are among the
highest priced films in the market and
are costing him more than double the
price of special films shown here in
the past featuring the famous come

LEAPS OVER BROKEN BRIDGE
Anita Stewart Takes Daring Risk TO

Anita Stewart Takes Daring Risk TO
Make Scene in Picture Realistic.
Anita Stewart makes a startling
leap on horseback over broken
bridge above a chasm, taking great
risks, in a scene from the First Ma
tional special feature, In Old Ken
lucky" in which she stars. This great
American classic will be shown at the
Amazon theatre on Thanksgiving.
The bridge is a draw over a ravine
more than 100 feet deep. But the
draw has been wrecked. In the story
it is necessary for Miss Stewart to
leap over this broken draw to reach
man who is lying unconscious in the
road far beneath her, where the villain
has placed dynamite bomb beneath
him.
The horse, upon which she is mount
ed at first refuses to make the jump,
but she starts again. and squirting it
to the utmost speed, rides straight for
the broken bridge. The horse rises to
her spur and makes the jump. But it
reaches the opposite side by such
narrow margin that broken bits of the
bridge are kicked from beneath its
feet into the chasm beneath.
Miss Stewart admits that she was

New Series of Harold Lloyd Coincide,

Eight months ago Harold Lloyd en-
tered the ranks of big league screen
comedians when he presented Bump
ing Into Broadway" his first $4,000
feature comedy. And it set the tongues
of photoplay fans wagging. People
who had never laughed before found
themselves screaming with joy over
the clean-cut fun of a looking
youth who had the happy knack of
showing the absurd side of situations
anyone might find themselves in.

I erribly frightened, but had every
confidence in the horse, as it had made
greater leaps than the one taken in
the picture, though never such dan
gerous one.
This thrilling scene is clearly shown
in this picture, which is the story of
an untutored girl, who after risking
her life for her friends in the noun
tains. goes to the city where she wins
laurels for herself.

NEW GREEK KING
HOPES OF CONSTANTINE TO HE-
TURN TO THRONE MAY BE
RUDELY DASHED
ENTENTE MAY BLOCK PLANS
Greek Regent Resigns and Queen
Mother Olga Assumes Control
Political Amnesty Proclaimed
and Prisoners Released

Paris, Nov 20.-Allied nations pweb-
ably will intervene TO prevent the re-
turn of former King Constantine to the
Greek throne, says Charles @. A. Jon
cart, former French high commission
or in Greece, and at present e1traordl-
nary French ambassador at the vati-
can. A similar opinion Is voiced by
Baron Denys Cochin, an eminent su-
thority on Greek affairs.
Constantine, says M. Jonnart,
seems to me not only undesirable for
the allies but quite impossible. His
return 10 the throne would mean that
the greater Greece of Venixelos would
be placed at the service of Germany.
1t is the right and duty Of the protect
Ing powers not to allow a Greece that
Is stronger than ever TO become vac
sal Of Germany.
at cannot be denied that Constan-
tine acted as an sutocrat, and the
powers have a perfect right to oppose
his return 10 the throne. A historical
precedent may be found for this &C
ton. King Otto, the Bavarian mon
arch of Greece, attempted in 1852 to
set up absolute rule in that country.
This resulted in Anglo-French In
PREVENTION and the deposition of King
Otto was required. The Bsvarian dy-
nasty was later replaced by one hav-
ing It's origin in Denmark"
