Mr.. Lucey told the convention that
the situation in Illinois regarding
the public utility commission would
bear watching to see what comes
out Of it." The governor-elect, he
said, had won on a platform of mu-
nicipal ownership and home rule,
but had run 100000 votes behind
Senator Harding because there are
enough honest republicans in Illi-
nois who did not believe in the pro-
gram of confiscation OF private prop
erty."

BOOKS FOR THE CHILDREN.

The week of Nov. Is to 20 is the
second national celebration of Chill
dren's Book Week. Let Audubon
get started in this great movement
by having many new children sub
scribers to the public library. The
librcry already has a host of child
friends, but we feel sure there are
still some children in Audubon who
are not enjoying its wonderful priv
ileges. Good books admit children
to new worlds of delight, contribute
to their happiness, stimulate their
Imagination and leave joyous mem
cries. Send your children to the IL
brary; they will be gladly welcomed.

lowing:
In unemployed labor there are
three classes. First, those who would
not leave the city. Second, those who
have been working part of the time
and were out of funds and unable to
leave the city to get out to find the
work. Third, the floaters who will
not work at all.
If any of our farmers are in need
OF corn pickers they should report
to the county agents office. The
men who are available must be gone
after and 1t is advisable to first get
into communication with the En-
ployment eSrvice in Omaha before
starting.
The Audubon Farm Bureau will
do all in its power TO secure help,
and all that is necessary is to call
the office.

Henry Herbert left Friday for
his home in Los Angeles, Calf,
where he has been the past ten
years. Mr.. Herbert aims to make q
visit to his old home at least every
four years. He still retains his
residence in Audubon and comes
every four years to cast his ballot
at election time. He was here sew
eral weeks and on his arrival told
his close personal friends that CAL
ifornia would give Harding a ire
mendous majority. The election re-
turns verified his statements. We
hope he will have the opportunity
of bringing us such reassuring news
four years hence.

The regular monthly meeting OF
the Community Club was held az
the X. P. hall Monday evening. Ow-
ing to the inclement weather only
small portion of the membership
was present.
The regular routine OF business
was carried out. The matter of ad-
euuate hotel facilities was discuss
ed. and other matters of Importance
to the community.
Alex Ferguson, who has been the
night watch, resigned his position
and will again be found at his pop
corn wagon at the Audubon Hard
ware corner. George Weighton, W.
D. Graves, Chas. Dolahide, Jens II.
Petersen and Andrew Rasmussen
applied for the position. A vote
was taken and the position was
awarded to w. D. Graves. The CLUB
can only make recommendations TO
the council, who, in fact, has the
hiring to do. The new night-watch
will carry the clock and will visit
six stations half hourly every night
while on duty.
II was also discussed that a rec
ommendation be made to the city
council that the town be divided in
TO four sections for the purpose OF
locating a fire, in case a fire alarm
has been turned in. 1t is thought
advisable to have a signal given by
the fire whistle to distinguish in
which section the fire is located.
This plan is followed in practically
all cities of Audubon's class, and II
certainly would be a matter of con-
yenience and information to the
people OF this city il it were adopt
ed here

Christmas Seals will be placed on
sale in every county in Iowa about
December 1st, under direction of the
Iowa tuberculosis association in CO.
operation with local public health,
child welfare, Red Cross and similar
organizations.
These seals are sold every year to
finance anti-tuberculosis, public
health, child welfare and other so
cial work. The greater percentage
OF the receipts is retained in the To-
cal community to be expended there
in cooperation with the Iowa Tu-
berculosis association staff workers
in improving public health condf-
tions.
This year 100000 of the seals
will be distributed in Iowa. as well
as large quantities of Health Bonds,
seal buttons and other literature. II
is hoped to realize 10 cents per cap
tia for the entire state as result
Of he seal sale.
The American Red Cross has par
ticipated equally with the tubercu-
losis association in past seal sales,
but this year has endorsed the sale
and agreed to cooperate in the work
OF placing them before the pubic,
permitting tn centre receipts to be
used under the direction of the local
organizations and the Iowa TUDOR
culosis association.
As a result Of the seal sale 1t 10
expected that greatly enlarged pub
lie health programs can be put int
effect in Iowa counties next year.
In many counties the proceeds will
be combined with Red Cross funds
to finance additional county nurses
or facilitate the work OF present
ones.
The elimination of tuberculosis Ii
the ultimate goal OF the seail move
ment, and child welfare work has
been adopted as one OF the best
means Of bringing about the destrue-
ton of the white plague"

LAST DAY TOPAY
 LICENSE TAXES State Automobile and Business License Delinquent After
 Today

Today is the last day on which to pay business and automobile licenses with out the penalty for delinquency added.
 There are in Birmingham approximately l6. GOO omobiles, according to probate court officials and this leaves approxi- nately 5000 tags to be issued today, as well as about 5000 business licenses. With only one day in which to issue these li- censes which are still unpaid the orfice force will hardly be able to handle the rush today, it was stated.
 From the time the probate office opened yesterday until it closed there was a long line of people waiting at each win dow. Tables had been placed in the cor riders for tho convenience of the public. so they may i'll out their application blanks giving the required information.
 All licenses become delinquent on No- yember 1. and persons falling to secure them today will be subject to delinquent fee of 15 per cent. This will be added to the cost of the licenses as a penalty for failure to pay before the time set by law expires. In addition persons whG have not paid tkeir license fees by that time will be subject to arrest and pros- ecution for doing business without i- cerse, as 1t is stated that eacn day's business without license constitutes a violation of the law.
 Licenses are not delinquent until Eo- vember l, but as the last day of Oc- tober falls on Sunday. there will be no opportunity to pay them after today.

BARBOUR COUNTY
 FOR AMENDMENT Charlie Mcdowell Candidate for Lieutenant Governor
 Working for Measure

Barbour county will cast a majority vote for the seaport amendment, in the opinion of c. s. Mcdowell Jr. who rep resents that political grand division in the state senate, and is the only an- nounced candidate for state office to be filled in the primaries of 1922, he hav- ing declared his intention to run for lieu tenant governor on a platform of econ omy and less taxation.
 After a thorough investigation of the entire plan proposed, 1 feel certain that the seaport amendment will prove of great benefit to the people of Alabama. and that it will not result in any in crease in taxation, directly or indirectly. The cotton planters of the state will need such a warehouse at Mobile as Louisiana has built at New Orleans to carry out their plans for the exportation of cot ton. This seems to be the best chance to obtain such a cotton warehouse. and am in favor it, said MT. Mcdowell
 Mrs. Solon Jacobs, who is active in the campaign for the democratic nomi- nees for President and Vice President. is strongly in favor of the seaport amendment, and has authorized the statement that she never misses an op- portunity to urge the new voters in Alabama to cast their first ballot for this progressive measure, which will give the people of this state transporta- tion independence
 TELEPHONES WILL TELL
 The Southern Bell Telephone and Tele- graph Company has rendered the use of its rural lines to be used from central points by county chairnen for the sea- port amendment campaign. and on Mon day, the day before the general and spe- cial elections, every farmer and every farmers wife enjoying the use of a tele- phone at their home will be reminded of the waterways amendments and the benefits that will come from their adop- ton.l Arrangements for this service were completed last night by T. Park Hay, Jr., campaign manager for Amend ment No. 1.
 Replies received from all parts of the state in answer to inquiries sent out from headquarters at Birmingham fndi- cate that the seaport amendment is backed by the same men and the same forces that made the good roads cam paign successful; and. in addition to this, the women voters are said to be almost unanimous for the improvement of water transportation as means Of reducing the cost of living by reducing freight rates.

 AS TO THE SOLDIERS
 With regard to Mir. Bittner's posi- ion as to the military, a dislocated sentence in The Age-Herald on Thursday morn ing made him appear as critic of the soldiers. He was quoted as saving. Governor Kilby and the military can : not do enough dirty work, etc" The phrase dirty work when used by MT. Bittner. referred only to the ceal operators He and all the spea xers have particularly exempted the sol diers themselves from criticism. Mir. Bittner's exact meaning is best ex- pressed in this sentence of his: Re- gardless of the dirty work of the oper- ators and of what Governor Kilby ard the military do, the mine workers or ganization will not be driven out of Alabama"
 Reading of report of the resolutions committee was deferred until this morn- ing at o'clock. The secretary of the committee, Mir. Winstanley, had read q substitute for a number of resolutions when this step was taken, The substi- tute resolution aimed at asking PresI- dent Wilson to name commission to investigate the situation in Alabama
 WOULD IMPEACH GOVERNOR
 At the morning session yesterday a number of resolutions were introduced and referred to the resolutions commit tee. One of these calls for impeachment proceedings against Governor Kilby. This resolution alleges that the gover- nor has, violated the constitution of Ala bama by prohibiting free speech and free assembly, and calls on the organizations affiliated with the federation to con- tribute their pro rata share of expenses to the impeachment proceedings againsy the governor, which the resolutions call on attorneys for the federation to formu- late and conduct.

ID FEED CHILDREN 0F STRICKEN EUROPE
Erskine Ramsay to Take Up Actively the Work of Rais-
 ing Funds

That Alabama will do her part toward raising the money to feed the children of the stricken European countries, is assured by acceptance of the state lead ership by Erskine Ramsay, vice presi- dent of the Pratt Consolidated Coal Com pany.
 MT. Ramsay returned to the city yes- terday after an absence of several days and expects now to take up actively the matter of arousing Alabamas interest in the subject.
 It was only after an urgent personal request was made by Herbert Hoover that MT. Ramsay agreed to accept the leadership. He is man who does not seek public position, but having it thrust upon him, he is regarded as the man who can put over the big job of raising the much needed funds for the European n children.
 The appeal to the public for funds to supplement the treasury of the American relief administration has not been made up to this time, but all money in the hands of the administration will be gone by the first of the year. Unless 25OO. .ooO children are to be left to starve 1t will be necessary for an appeal
 It is planned to sell food drafts again as was done last year More than 180 ,OOU drafts were sold last year with the ac- cumulation of about 500 GOO. This is said to be one of the most efficient ways of handling the business of raising the fund.
 The food situation in Poland is said to be very bad and will be much worse and possibly more acute than last year. when famine conditions prevailed. The American Relief Association spent near ly sl6. 6.0Oo. 900 in Poland last year for feed ing and clothing children. This year it had expected to continue the work on Il smaller scale. spending perhaps S.0oo.- GOO The unexpected increase in the diff ficulty of the food situation makes it necessary to spend at least as much as last year, and it is to be hoped that even more can be done. It would be his y desirable to furnish two meals day to the children instead of only one. 1t yill be . big undertaking to raise suf- ficient funds to care for the hungry chil- dren.
 MT. Ramsay has not announced hts plans as yet. but said that the public will be informed from time to time. through the press. as to the progress of the work

JUDGE ALLEN FIRM
 IN HIS STAND FOR
 DEMOCRATIC PARTY
Cox and the League Represent What America Needs and What Peace of World
 Must Have to Exist

T was talking with a man the other day about the political situation and he said that he was going to vote for Ssn- ator Harding, because he was in favor of war, because during war time man hood was brought out where manhood never existed before.
 But I am going to vote for Cover nor Cox, democratic nominee, because believe in the League of Nations ana feel assured that if the United States becomes a member there will never be another war
 That is the statement made by Judge B. M. Allen, who says that he feels sure of the election of Governor Cox, because Governor Cox stands against var and that is where the public is standing now.
 BELIEVES IN LEAGUE
 T believe in the League of Nations because it will assure all of the leading nations of the world that there will be mo more wars. When those nations are assured of that, then. and then only, will they stop building new hat- tleships and enlarging their armies" " |said Judge Allen.
 Just imagine then what it will mean for the United States to take all tEe money that is spent each year to main tain the Atlantic and the Pacific fleets and turn it into purposes that will build up the foreign trade of this coun- try.
 There will be another big war at an early date and, in fact, it has already started. Only we are asleep over here and haven't heard about it. It is war among the leading nations of the world for world trade. There will be no guns fired, no men killed, but the naiion that looses out in the fight will be worse off than if thousands of .heir men had been killed
 England is 8 friendly nation to this country, but right now she is prepar- ing to wrestle with us for our foreign trade, and especially our trade with the countries in South America.
 WE NEED COX
 "As I said before, 1 favor the ..lec- tion of Governor Cox, because socn after he gets into office the United States will become member of the League of Nations. Then we will take the money we have used to keep lip a large army and navy and put t to other use that will help to make this country one of the leading nations of the world in the matter of world trade.
 But if we are to attain that position, we must have a progressive and busi- ness man at the head of our nation. That again calls for the election of Governor Cox. That will also get the majority of the votes for him at the election on November 2, for the great American public will certainly want a man at the head of their nation whose stand they know, and also what fls beliefs and opinions are"
