IMPORT FRENCH THRIFT

Americans may well take a lesson
from French thrift. A recent of
fetal report shows that notwith-
standing their poverty and distress,
the French people are putting into
the savings banks great deal more
than they are checking out. In ten
days from the 18th to goth OF De-
cember, they deposited 100000
francs and withdrew 1000 00oA
From January to December 20 the
surplus of deposits over Withdrawals
was 907 100000 francs.
France in fact, is not in nearly so
sad plight as the slump in exchange
might indicate. or 1896 factories

EIECTIoN NEWT WEEK

The city school election will be
held in this city on next Monday af-
ternoon. Two school directors and
the treasurer are to be elected. The
terms of j. NJ. Graham and N. S.
Hansen expire. Mr.. Graham is i'll
and cannot accept the place and Mr..
Hansen has signifled his desire not
to serve longer as he has been on the
board for 16 years. A petition was
circulated and filed this week plac-
ing on the ticket the names of E. F.
Bilharz and Arthur Farquhar as d.
rectors and f. s. Van Gorder as
treasurer. 1t is quite likely that no
other names will be filed, but the
voters can write in the names of any
other candidates they wish to vote for
as blank space for that purpose Is
provided on the ballot. 1t is gep-
orally accepted however, that these
men are the best that could be asked
for and their election will bring cred

of good, clean progressive board Of
school directors.

CITY CAUCUS MONDAY

The city coucus will be held in the
court room at the court house Mon
day evening of next week. A full
city ticket is to be elected this time
comprising mayor, two councilmen
at large and one councilman from
each ward, city treasurer and city as
sesor.
So far we have heard of but few
candidates for any of the offices. j.
A. Cozine, present mayor who is fill
ing the place by appointment is a
candidate for the nomination. The
name of S. B. Morrissey has also
been frequently mentioned for mayor.
1t is doubtful IL any of the present
councilmen will seek reelection,
though some of them may decide to
accept under pressure of their
friends. What the ticket will be at
Monday nights caucus no one, can
predict at this time.

DEATH OF INA pERLE STORY

The relatives and friends in Au-
dubon were shocked and saddened
last week when word was received
here that Miss Ina Perle Story had
died at the home of her sister at
Moberly, Mo.
The, deceased had sunny DISPOSE
ton and made host of personal
friends She was a lovable girl and
always had a kind word for those in
need and smile for everyone. Our
loss is her gain. She often said,
"I'll do my best and if / don't do
right ii isn't because / don't try"
Now she has gone to her reward.
Ina Perle Story was born in Lin
coin township, Audubon county, Mo-
vember Is, 1896 and was called to
her heavenly home February 22nd,
1920. She leaves to mourn her I'M
timely death, the Borrowing parents,
and brothers and sisters, Glenn,
Bprma, Alice, Moody and Cecil, all
OF Moberly, Mo.
She was to have been married to
young man of this community this
month and her passing has brought
much grief to him.
When she was child she moved
with her parents to LeGrande, Ore,
residing there a few years after
which they moved to Moberly, Mo-,
which has since been the family
home. There she grew to sweet
womanhood graduating from the
Moberly high school on May Is,
1916 and was a member of the high
school basket ball team in 1856.
After her graduation she assisted in
the public schools and taught in the
rural schools.
On March 6, 1917 she came to Au-
dubon to visit her aunt, Mrs. Robert
Owen, and for the past three years
made her home with her as one of
| the family. She was successful
school teacher and up to the time Of
her leaving taught at Old Hamlin,
having but one more week to COM
! plete her term.
On the morning Of February 9th
| she received word that her sister at
! Moberly, Mo-, was not expected to
| live and left the same afternoon for
/ her bedside to help care for her. On
the second day after her arrival she
was taken down with the flu which
/ later developed in pneumonia, which
was the ultimate cause of her death.
Funeral services were held last
| Thursday afternoon of last week
| from the undertaking parlors at
| Moberly, Mo. The services were In
charge of the pastor of the Methodist
church The pail bearers were six
Young ladies', selected from the bas-
ket ball team of which she was 4
member. The floral offerings were
many and beautiful. Interment was
made in a beautiful and peaceful
resting place in the Moberly ceme-
terry.

CRESCENT THEATRE SOLD

Preston Bros, who have been run
ming the Crescent Theatre the past
three years sold the building and

Mr.. Nelson's so acre farm. Posses
sion OF the theatre will be given on

son will learn to operate the ma
chine and get fanSiliar with the bust
ness.
The splendid new theatre was built
by Don and John Preston and is re-
puted to be the finest theatre of its
size in the state. We regret to lose
these excellent young men from the
business life of Audubon and hope
they win yet decide to remain in Au-
dubon.

TO VOTE ON CONSOLIDATION

The matter of consolidated schools
in Melville township will come up
for final decision at an election 10
be held at the Melville Center school
house on March 18th. Some weeks
ago a large majority of the people In
the township signed a petition ask
ing for the consolidation of their
schools. Inasmuch as the petition
was signed by practically all of those
comprising the district, 1t is more
than likely that the proposition will
carry. A notice for the election is
being published in today's Republic
can.
Consolidation OF country schools
appear to be the coming thing. We
notice in several counties that the
proposition has carried in special
elections that have been held within
the past two weeks. II begins to
look as though the consolidated
school was going to solve many of
the problems that have been up for
solution. These schools have become
community affairs and whenever
matters become of community inter-
est much good is going to be accom-
plishedg In the near future the
schools are going to be the means Of
providing adequate room for holding
community gatherings where all
public questions can be intelllgently
discussed.
