IOWA CITY DEFEATS AaEs.
Many Former Audubon Students
Witness Football Game at The
Home-C Coming.

Before $4,000 people, the largest
crowd that ever saw an athletic con-
test in Iowa. the University OF Iowa
defeated Iowa State on State field at
Ames Saturday afternoon in game
so closely fought that the outcome
was in doubt until the final whistle
gave the Hawkeyes the victory IA to
10.
The first score came near the be-
ginning of the second quarter when
Byers, Cyclone half-back, put a place
kick between the bars from the So
yard line, Iowa made their first
touchdown, following series OF
first downs and a 10-yard end run
by A. Devine, when he punched
through the line for a final two
yards.
"Devine to Belding" accounted for
Iowa's second score in the third per-
Tod when the Hawkeye end grabbed
long forward pass and fell across
the Iowa State line.
The Cyclones, opening up with for
ward passes and end runs, threaten
cd the Hawkeye goal repeatedly In
the last two quarters. One OF their
passes from Hibbs to stew" White,
followed ~ whites s4-yard run.

study of agriculture IN school for q
given length OF time. The amount
OF credit given for work in these
subjects will be equal to that given
for similar work by any school in
Iowa. The matter has been present
ed to the State Superintendent of
Vocational work and his advice will
be accepted in determining the
amount OF credit to be given.
This idea has been in the minds Of
those in charge OF the clubs in the
county for some time. The educators
OF the county have also felt that
something OF the kind should be
done. However, this is the first real
attempt to put the matter on solid
basis. The boys and girls of the
county should be active in awaiting
themselves OF the advantage this
plan offers.
An arrangement will be made so
that che boys and girls that are not
of high school age can secure the
credit they earn when they have
passed the rural examinations and
are ready to enter high school. This
part OF the plan is being worked out
with the County superintendent OF
Schools.
This plan has been placed before
each OF the heads of che five graded
schools OF the county and before the
County superintendent OF schools.
These superintendents are agreed
that more emphasis should b8Rlaced
upon the teaching of agricurNfe in
Audubon county. 1t is to be hoped
that this is just thebeginning toward
offering school credit for home work
thereby more closely linking the
work OF the two.

BODY SHIPPED ERoM FRANCE
Extra Soldier Died in Service and
Remains Sent Home for Final
Interment.

Perhaps the most impressive flu
neral service that has been conduct
ed in Extra in many years took place
Sunday afternoon last, Nov. 14th,
when the body of Allie Lee Perry,
son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Il. B. Perry,
who died at Bordeaux, France, on
March IA, 1919, was returned to his
old home for burial.
The flag on the city flag pole was
floated at half-mast all day, and the
large crowd in attendance at the flu
neral was evidence of the high es-
TEEN in which this worthy young
man was held by friends he left be-
hind when he unflinchingly went
forth and faced the dangers which
confronted him, in order that he
might share the task of saving his
country for democracy. He played
his part bravely and well, serving
for over a year in France. Four
months after the armistice was
signed, while waiting to return to
home and loved ones, the ravages of
upon him and claimed him as its
victim.
The body reached New York about
two weeks ago and Extra relatives
were Immediately notified. With
the remains of thirteen OF his COM
rades 1t was taken to FIT. Crook, Me-
braska, and thence, with Corporal
Stephen Sanka, of that place. as es-
cort, 1t was shipped to Extra, arriv-
ing saturday last.
The funeral obsequies were OBJ
served in very fitting manner, the
American Legion being placed in
charge, and the Knights Of Pythias
and Pythian Sisters hodges added to
the delegation by attending in a
body. Sixty-nine soldiers were in
attendance and made a very striking
appearance in their uniforms OF
khaki. The sermon was delivered
by Rev. Lawton, of North Branch,
who served as chaplain in the army,
an dthe service was conducted In
full military style. The sympathy
displayed throughout was a great
comfort to the parents and helped to
heal the wounds which sorrow had
so indelibly stamped upon the hearts
OF loved ones.

THANKSGIVING DAY.

AS we celebrate Thanksgiving day
this year our thoughts turn with re-
newed interest to that winter 800
years ago when the Pilgrim fathers
first came to the North American
shores. They were forced to land
farther north than they had planned
and the increasing storms of advanc-
ing winter compelled them to estab-
lish their colony without the delay
necessary IL they were to explore the
coast carefully for a thoroughly
suitable location.
The first winter was tragically
hard, as every American school boy
and girl knows. Many OF the Pill
grims died. Those who survived held
to their purpose through every hard
ship, never considering a return TO
the land where they could have an
abundance OF food and shelter. but
not the freedom OF spirit they sought
II is no wonder, then, that the Pill
grims set aside a special day for Of
fering thanks TO God for their first
harvest OF Indian corn and their
first full year in the New World. Yet
any one who reads their own chron-
icles OF those difficult days will find
that their thanksgiving was not con-
fined to single feast day. No mat
ter how dark the outlook, they
found always that they had blessings
for which they were grateful.
Since those days the American
people have passed through many
serious crises and faced many grave
problems But always the blessings
have outnumhered the misfortunes,
this year as In others.
In his Thanksgiving proclamation,
President Wilson has voiced the
deeper significance OF this national
feast day.
'In plenty. security and peace,
our virtuous and self-reliant people
face the future, It's duties and its OPP
portunities. In spirit,
then. Of devotion and stewardship,
we should give thanks In our hearts.
and dedicate ourselves TO the serv-
ice of Gods merciful and loving pur-
poses 60 HE children"

RoRERT H GARNETT.

Robert H. Garnett, the son of VIII
ham and Sarah Brown Garnett, was
born in Rock Island county, Illinois,
on the 18th day OF November, in the
year 1847, and passed to the other
world on the 18th day of November,
1920, at his home in Hamlin, Iowa.
On August %, 1871, he was mar
ried to Miss Jeanette /. Clark. This
union, unbroken ON earth until on
Wednesday OF this week, was blest
with two children: Mr.. Charles r.
Garnett and Mrs. Carrie White, both
of Audubon county. Gathered
around them are eight grandchil-
dren who follow with host OF 9TH
ers the body OF the loved one to the
grave. Ever since 1881 Mr.. Garnett
has made his home in some part OF
Audubon county, part of the time in
Greeley township and part in Audi
bon and the remaining Is years In
Hamlin. He united with the Meth
odist Episcopal church about 1898,
and remained member until his
death.
Their are remaining OF his fathers
family a brother, Mr.. Frank Garnett
of Fort Byron. ILL.,, and sister, Mrs.
e. ]. Smith of San 5ernadina. Cal
ifornia.
Mr.. Garnett was highly respected
and esteemed by all who knew him.
He was a lover of home and also OF
the things OF the Religion of the
Son of God in whom he put his i'm
plicit trust. Ready to do anything
at any time he could to aid anyone
in need, he found opportunities to
put the precepts of that gospel into
practice. In his last hours he de-
clared his personal readiness to go
to te other land and there await the
coming of the others at the call OF
the Lord.

STATE Is BIG PURCHASER.
Few ePople Realize the Enormous
Funds Spent TO Maintain
Institutions.

The average householder thinks OF
his coal in tens of tons, il he thinks
that high the average housewife
rarely lets her Imagination wander
higher than dozen or so yards OF
sheeting or a half dozen pounds OF
beef.
The Iowa State Board OF Control
purchases 10000 tons Of coal a
year, and thirty-five thousand yards
OF sheeting and 100000 pounds OF
beef every six months!
Each year on the first Of October
an dthe first of April the board OF
control complies from estimates sent
to it from the various state institu-
tons under its direction, a list OF
the supplies it will need for the en-
suing six months. Large commercial
houses, packing companies, coal
dealers, etc., are invited to submit
bids for the various items OF the
board of controls trade. The firm
that submits the lowest bid, other
things being equal. gets the bust
ness. These huge quantities OF
goods are not, however, delivered to
the institutions which want them all
at once The board OF control con-
tracts for the entire amount, and
then the different institutions make
orders on the firms which have
agreed to supply the goods for as
much as they want at a time.
This is the way the board OF con-
troll orders
$4,000 yards OF sheeting; 10000
yards of otis denim: 10000 yards OF
crash. 10 600 wards of ticking: 20,-
900 yards OF shirting; 10000 yards
OF percale; 10000 pounds OF rice;
Is, 200 gallons Of syrup; 100000
pounds OF beef; $4,000 pounds OF
sausage; 10000 pounds of ham and
bacon; $4,000 pounds rolled oats !;
100, 900 pounds of laundry soap and
soap chips: $4,000 pounds sugar;
SO, 900 pounds Of coffee, and 10000
pounds of tea. These figures are
the amounts ordered for periods OF
six months. The yearly supply OF
coal is 10000 tons, and OF sugar
10, 900 barrels.
The only commodity sold by the
boar dof control. excluding some
garden produce and the livestock
which is shipped into the market
and sold at whatever prices prevail
at the market at the time, are the
chairs and butter tubs. for the
sale of these. the board OF control
has special sales agents In Chicago
and various other large cities. The
board OF control, although 1t sells
these things in great quantities,
makes no effort TO underbnid other
manufacturers OF the. same articles.

DEMOCRATs NOT DEAD.

No. reader, the democratic party
IL not dead. 1t simply made an un-
fortunate nomination for the pres
idency and large portion OF the
party made 1t practically unanimous
for the republican nominee. More
over, it would be most unfortu-
mate thing for the country ifNthat
party were dead. The republican
politicians are. not all angels. There
are plenty of them who will sheer
ingly say that platforms are made
to get In on and to forget is'soon as
possible. The republican party must
keep its promises to the people or
expect a revulsion of public opinion
as strong as that which has swept
democracy out of power. Public
opinion NAV sustain the republican
administration, but IL It should not
deserve to be sustained count upon
the democratic party to keep the
people informed OF the fact.

being an agricultural section, in not

countv. More emphasis should be
placed on the teaching OF agricui-

should be of q vocational character
and should be worked out by means

RETURNS FROM DENMARK

Fred Gjerloff, former resident
Of this city, who has been visiting
in Denmark and England for the
last six months, has returned and is
now visiting at the home OF his
daughter in Extra.
Mr.. Gjerloff travelled all over
Denmark during his absence, spend
ing two months OF his tine in travel.
Ne reports that times are better in
the old country now, than here, but
that many Of the commodities Of life
are rationed. Rations on sugar are
five pounds per week for each fam
lily: white flour. five pounds per
week, but as rye flour is largely
used, this is sufficient for the real
needs; fuel is also rationed out and
is barely sufficient for comfort, this
restriction being felt more than any
ether.
Mr.. Gjerloff has brother who is
captain in the merchant marine in
Denmark, which gave the visitor OPP
portunity to observe conditions with
tolerable accuracy. Mr.. Gjerloff
makes his home with his daughter,
Mrs. Laurids Hansen and family,
and was much surprised upon his re-
turn to find new grandson, OF
which he had not been informed.

Extensively Aubrey Devine, the
Hawkeye's sensational quarterback,
was the star OF the game. He was
ably seconded by Locke and Bedding
and by Slater on the defensive.
For Iowa State the work of POL
ly" Wallace at center stood out as
one of the most remarkable exhibit
tions OF football ever seen on State
field. Hibbs and Boyd, who alter
mated at quarter, both played steady,
capable football. Young, opposed
by the gallant Slater, put up good
game at tackle.
In everything but the final score
Saturdays game was an Ames vic
tory. There were no apologies to be
made. As Coach N. c. Paine said
previous to the game, my men are
in prime condition and no alibis will

NAZARENES RAISE
BIG SUM FOR CHURCH

Rev. w. E. Ellis of Holtville, who
was recently called to take charge of
the newly organized Nazarene church
in Ell Centro, reports that his congre-
cation is making marked progress.
At the meeting held Sunday q
large congregation attended to hear
Mr.. Ellis discourse and there was two
additions to the church. The congre-
cation, though small at the present
time, is very enthusiastic and earnest
in the work.
At Sunday mornings service in a
very short time $1,000 was raised for
the new church edifice, and from the
present indications it is believed that
by next Sunday night this amount will
have been raised to $4,000.
1t is the intention of the congrega-
ton to have the work commenced
on the new church not later than Oc-
tober and site is now being selected.

GLOBE TROTTEk
STOPS IN CITY
ON LONG JOURNEY

Frank Fletcher, globe trotter ex-
destrian, claiming to have already
established new record, arrived in
the city yesterday. He will be here
a couple of days.
Three years and eight months ago
he left San Francisco on his cross
country hike. He started in with the
intention of beating the record of;
Watson, the American champion walk
er, up to this time. To do this he will
have to make the round trip and be
back in San Francisco in three years
and one month from this date. He
believes he can make it. He makes
his way selling an indellible ink of
his own manufacture, and does not
ask nor is he allowed to receive gifts.
Fletcher cannot utilize trains, au-
tomobiles, trolley cars or even roller
skates on his journey. He is also
forbidden to sleep anywhere except
under the trees. He has worn SO far
on his journey 172 pairs of shoes,
55 coats and 121 pairs of trousers.
He is not allowed to ask for any
sort of charity, and his sole means of
support is by selling an invisible ink
on the road. He is 40 years old
He must secure a letter from the
chief of police of every large city he
visits and secure a postmark at the
postoffice.
Fletcher claims to be the only man
who ever crossed Death Valley, and
Arizona desert, and lived. He crossed
this desert three times.
