CLOSE TIMES HIT oRPHANAGE

The close times and increased
population, have dealt the Christian
Home Orphanage Of Council Bluffs,
Iowa, a heavy blow. This institu-
tion cares for an average of ESQ
little children daily. 1t also conducts
department for aged, dependent
women, and a department for de-
formed and crippled children. The
institution was founded in 1882, and
since that time has provided for an
average of 500 homeless people
annually. The institution is at pres
ent struggling under heavy debt,
and with winter at hand and calls
from the needy rapidly increasing,
efforts are being made to wipe out
the debt by a Thanksgiving offering.
This institution is the only home that
hundreds OF destitute children and
aged women know. The Home Is
supported entirely by voluntary con-
tributions of charitable people. II
receives children from any part of
the country, employs no travelling
agents and Is absolutely non-sectar-
ian. This great institution sorely
needs your help now Send them a
Thanksgiving donation and help
them pay off the old debt and care
for many hundreds who will seek
food and shelter there this winter.

who recently disposed of his inter-

able addition TO the business circles
of Avoca. where he will be connected

ARMsTrcE DAY CELEBRATION
Large Crowd Gathers to Hear Rous-
ing Address by Rev. circuit,
the Evangelist.

The hurriedly prepared Armistice
Day program was exceptionally well
attended last Friday afternoon. The
matter of program was not given
much attention until early Thursday
morning when few of the business
men determined to have the day fit
tingly observed. On account of the
day being legal holiday, the. rural
mail carriers did not deliver the
weekly papers that day, so practical
ly all the publicity the announce
ment received was what was noised
about after the papers had been de-
livered in the city Thursday after
noon.
The banks of the city were closed
for the entire day. but the balance
of the business houses did not close
until noon. At one o'clock people
from the country began to come in
and by two o'clock the armory was
pretty comfortably packed.
The American Legion and mem
bers of the National Guard met at
the Legion hall and headed by the
Audubon band, marched down
Broadway to the armory, where the
National Guard gave drill, which
was highly appreciated by the peo-
pie, many of whom had not had the
opportunity of seeing the company
in operation before.
II. j. Mantz was made chairman of
the day and after few remarks,
called on Rev. Fuller for the invo-
cation. After a selection by the
band, a male quartet composed of
Gay Thomas, A. S. Heuser. F. c..
Sampson and III. J. HoQgenakker
furnished a potriotic number.
The speaker of the day was Rev.
o. G. circuit, who is In the city con-
Quoting the series of revival meet
ings at the Methodist church. He
made one of the best patriotic
speeches ever heard in the town and
at the close OF his remarks he was
given a rousing applause.
Following the program, the foot
ball game between Audubon and Ex-
ira took place at the Johnson park
in West Audubon.

ASK TO RESTORE TRAIN
Northwestern and Rock Island Rail-
way Companies to Be Asked
for Sunday Service.

The regular monthly meeting OF
the Audubon Community Club was
held at the X. p. hall last Monday
evening. After the usual routine of
business the Club spent some time in
discussing matters of vital import
ance to the town and community.
Among the matters discussed was
the restoration of Sunday train serv-
ice. When the Sunday train was
taken off early last spring, the
Northwestern officials let it be un-
derstood that the curtailment of the
service would only be temporary.
Up to this time no effort on their
part has been made to restore the
service.
1t was the unanimous opinion of
all members present at Monday ev-
ening's meeting that Audubon and
the community was entitled to the
Sunday service and the Northwest
ern officials will be appealed to in
the hope Of having the service re-
sumed at the earliest possible mo-
ment. The matter OF Sunday serv-
ice will also be taken up with the
Rock Island officials
Another matter of vital import
ance was the necessity of more san
itary conditions on the afternoon
train over the Northwestern. The
company has been using but one
coach for the afternoon run. This
coach is a combination baggage car.
mail car, express car, smoking car
and day coach. Owing to the divers
ity of service required from the car.
il is next to impossible to keep the
coach in a clean and sanitary condi-
ton. This condition should not ex-
ist and IL taken up with the railroad
commissioners. no doubt the COM
pany would be compelled to furnish
another coach for passenger service.
1t is thought the company would
gladly change conditions IL the mat
ter were forcibly brought to their
attention
The matter of securing another
highway through the county was
next discussed. A highway is being
established which is to be known as
the Itasca Park Highway, running
from Kansas City, Mo-, to Itasca
Park, MINI. Inasmuch as this high
way runs almost directly north and
south, it is proposed to have the
highway follow the IN. c. Trail, .
which is conceded to be the best
marked trail through the state.
This trail starts at Marysville,
Mo-, and connects with one of the
lake trails at Carroll The parties
having the establishment of this new
highway in charge have been APP
pealed to through the officers OF the
Community Club. in the hope of be-
ing able to convince them that the
proposed trail will be the one that
should be adopted in order to make
the new highway the best and most
convenient north and south road
through the state of Iowa.

A PROCLAMATION
By The Governor

AT period when life offered but
fraction of the blessings with
which it now overflows, the wisdom
and piety of our ancestors selected
one day in each year for praise and
solemn custom established in colon
ial days has descended from gener-
alton to generation with renewed
Significance and increasing Impress
iveness. 1t is highly appropriate
that we who enjoy in such rich pro-
fusion the manifold favors so gra-
ciously bestowed upon us, should
recognize unreservedly our complete
dependence upon the Supreme Rul-
err, and acknowledge cheerfully our
profound gratitude to Him.
The year we are Just concluding
has been one of financial depression
and economic difficulty, but after
all, 1t appears in retrospect opulent
with good fortune, and we have
suffered from no overwhelming dis
aster. Our harvests are unpara-
lleled, since our fertile soil has re-
sponded generously to our intelli-
gent industry. We have not been
distressed by foreign war, nor dis
turbed by internal discord. We
have been assured that perfect Sc
curity in life, property and the pur-
suit OF happiness which is the
browning glory of republican de-
mocracy.
With the contentment which
material well-being creates we must
in no wise overlook our obligation
to the Giver of every good and
perfect gift, remembering always
that righteousness exalteth a nation,
but sin is a reproach to any people.
Now, therefore !, NJ e. Kendall,
Governor of Iowa, acting In con-
junction with the President of the
United States, do hereby designate
Thursday. November 24th, 1921, as
Thanksgiving Day
and I earnestly enjoin upon the
people of the State that they suspend
for that day their ordinary activi-
ties, that they assemble at their
usual affairs of worship, and there
render fervent thanks to Almighty
God for the unfailing bounties He
has showered upon us. On this
sacred day let the Divine Father be
entreated also to direct and control
the destinies of men that universal
peace may be perpetually maintained
throughout the world.
In Witness Whereof, / have here
unto set my hand and caused to be
affixed the Great Seal Of the State
of Iowa.
