CLEAN PRESS AND
CLEAN MOVIES

Il has ben proved that the most
lasting impressions come to us main
ly through what we see. We are
today moulding the American of the
future by impressions we are max
ing upon our children. Whatever
the reason, 1t is a fact that many of
our daily newspapers and the sub
jects Of our moving pictures are be-
coming more and more objectiona-
BILE 70 normal-minded people. A re-
volt has started, but we need full
revolution. We have heard endless
denunciation of the wartime profit
eer and his method of squeezing a
fortune out of the dire necessity Of
his neighbors. A far greater evil is
the man who profits by publishing
disgusting divorce details and other
Improbable news" or his foul
minded companion who under the
guise of morality teacher, dispenses
sex problem" pictures for a consid-
GRAFTON. If it is legal to prosecute
the food profiteer. why not prose-
cute the one who strikes at the very
vitals of our nation? History has
proved that the first symptoms of
decadence and weakness in people
is to be seen in the lowering of
moral standards. Let us stand with
the upright, clean founders of Amer

The citizens, savings bank of An

ness Thursday morning.
Slow collections made It impossi-
BILE for the institution to maintain a
sufficient supply of cash to meet its
requirements
Within the last few days there has
been a steady withdrawal of funds
by depositors. Collections were not
ample to replace these, It is said.
"The depositors will be paid 100
cents on the dollar" was the state
ment of President Byron d. For
shay.
The bank carries large amount
of paper given by farmers. Because
of low prices the latter have been
unable to liquidate. their indebted
ness. This crippled the bank.
Within the last two weeks other
banks came to the assistance of the
Citizens Savings bank and advanced
1t money. The drain from with
drawal of deposits was too great
however. Wednesday night the Off
Gals and directors decided not to
open the following morning.
The bank, will liquidate to the
last dollar, is the statement of the
officials 1t has sufficient paper
outstanding to do this,
The president, Byron d. Forshay.

BAND CONCERTS ON
WEDNESDAY NIGHTS
BUSINESS MEN OF CITY DECIDE
TO KEEP STORES OPEN ON
fsst CONCERT NIGHTS

At
A special meeting Of the Audubon
Community Club was called at the
X. p. hall last Monday night to dis
cuss number of important matters
that needed immediate attention.
The first matter up for discussion
was the advisability OF keeping the
places of business open on Wednes-
day night of each week. 1t has been
definitely decided to have the free
open-air band concerts that night.
The concert will begin early enough
in the evening to permit those from
out of town to do their trading and
also give the merchants an oppor-
tunity of waiting on their customers.
The stores will remain open until
ten o'clock.
The first band concert will be CIV
en- in the park on the first Wednes-
day in June. The band, under the
direction of their new leader, has
made wonderful progress, and a
great treat is in store for the people
of the community during the sum-
mer months. The Audubon band
will be equal to many bands playing
at the amusement parks in the city.
The business men of the city are
paying heavy expense in order to
have these concerts and it is hoped
that the people will enjoy this priv
ilege which is theirs.
A lengthy discussion also arose
over the Community Day Sale. These
sales were conducted in March and
April. About fifty merchants join
ed in putting on these sales. For
the month Of May the sale was omit
ted from the fact that number of
the business men did not feel that
it was paying proposition. How
ever, some twenty-five of che lead
ing merchants were in favor of con-
tinuing the sale day and it was fin
ally agreed to continue the bargain
NoJo WIN MANY peti
ticipating as possible. There will be
at least twenty-five, who will unite
in giving some of the greatest bar
gains ever offered.
1t was also decided to close the
places of business whenever base
ball game is played in Audubon dur
Sra he "a Dc, -
possible to have game on any GER
tain day, and likewise impossible to
secure game each week, but when
ever game is played the merchants
will cooperate by closing their
places of business. There may be a
few exceptions, but in the main the
stores will be closed, unless other
action is taken later on.

CELEBRATE SILVER WEDDING
Former Oakfield Farmer Enjoys the
Happy Event at His Home, with
Many Close Friends.

Friday, May 9Th, was. the twenty
fifth wedding anniversary of Mr..
and Mrs. ]. p. Nielsen, of Elk Horn,
and in the evening the relatives and
friends of the prominent couple call
ed at the Nielsen home to extend
congratulations, and to spend the
evening with them.
Supper was served to about fifty
guests and the evening was spent in
sociability and in conversation. A
two-course luncheoh was served late
in the evening before the celebration
of the important event came to an
end.
The Nielsens received many beau
tiful gifts of silverware from their
friends. And these tokens of esteem
will undoubtedly be treasured by the
couple as a reminder of their silver
wedding. Mr.. and Mrs. ]. P. Mel
sen have been residents of Elk Horn
for the past thirteen years. Previ-
Gus to moving to Elk Horn the fam
lily resided near Oakfield, where Mr.
Nielsen had charge of creamery.
In 1908 the family moved to Elk
Horn and Mr.. Nielsen bought an in
terest in the Elk Horn Mercantile
Co., which at that time was owned
by Joe James. When Mr.. James
decided to quit business, Mr.. Mel
sen bought his interest and became
sole owner of the corner store.
BY fair dealing and courteous
treatment, he has built up very
successful business. His clerical
ability has been rather to his disad-
vantage, as the public offices which
require considerable work and pay
no compensation have been wished
onto him, and at present he holds
positions on the school board and on
the town council.
The Nielsens are members of the
Lutheran church and take an active
part in the social life of the town.
Mr.. and Mrs. Nelson's welded life
has been frightened by the birth, of
two children, both girls, and both of
whom make their home with their
parents. The girls are Misses Agnes,
who assists her father with his bus
iness occasionally, and Anna, a stu
dent in the local schools.
That they may live to enjoy many
more anniversaries of the important
event which occurred twenty-five
years ago is the wish of their large
circle of friends.-The Kimballton
Record.

Cameron township met on May 10th

is always listened to eagerly After
the program, lunch was served by
the ladies while coffee was served
by DOC" McGinnis. The meeting
was exceptionally well attended
On May 18th large and enthus-
iastic meeting was held in Douglas
township. The matter of picnic
was thoroughly discussed and after
setting the date of the picnic for
June 22nd, number of committees
were appointed. It is expected that
the picnic this year will be better,
if possible, than last year. They
also decided on the program for the
year, which includes the following:
Soil erosion at Soren Schmidt's and
Peter Jensen. l day short course
at, center school house, poultry Gull

the large crowd with most inter-
esting talk.
Rev. III. j. Kent, of Copenhagen.
Denmark, was in the city Tuesday
and in the evening spoke at the Dam
ish Lutheran church. Rev. Kent
is the official representative of the
anniversary of the United Danish
Lutheran Synod of America, and

AUDUBON PEOPLE INVITED
Much Interest Aroused Among Farm
er Students of Simpson College
at Indianola.

Invitations have been received by
a number of Audubon people an
nouncing an alumnal Rally Day. at
Simpson college, Indianola, on June
9Th of commencement week, when
there will be launched Greater
Simpson" movement which has been
given the official o. X. of the ex-
ecutive board and which has been
declared the most important in the
history of Simpson college.
Plans are being made TO enter
tain 500 Simpson Alumni and former
students and the occasion will be a
gala day in Simpson annals. Auto
mobiles will meet trains in Des-
Moines and will haul visitors to- In
dianola in time for the meeting at
$3.50 in the afternoon. An alumnal
program, including ball game is
being arranged. The plan of or
ganization of the new Simpson move
ment has been mapped out, but it
must be approved by the alumni
which accounts for the special effort
now being made to have present 500
alumni at the annual meeting.
Briefly the plan centers in alum
nal control of athletics but it is five
fold in it's character. Il embraces
publicity, organization, finance, ath-
letics and college cooperation ALL
under the administration of paid
alumnal secretary. In short, the
plan as a whole ties the alumni to-
gether into a closely knit organiza-
tion with the members pulling in a
common interest, Simpson college
and therefore, the educational facil-
tiles of southern Iowa.
The new movement was sprung
several weeks ago at a meeting of a
volunteer committee composed of
Simpson alumni and former students.
A discussion of the situation led to
the belief that athletics was the one
thing upon which all the alumni
could unite their support, and that
around this branch of college activ-
ity an effective organization for
Simpsons development could be
built
Accordingly committees were
appointed including a coach COM
mittee, which, within few days will
report upon an athletic director. One
of the best known athletic directors
in the country is oeing considered
and with the wealth of foot ball
material now in college, one Of the
best football teams in Simpsons his
tory is predicted.
So far as athletic control is con-
cerned, 1t is subject to the eligibil-
ity rules of the faculty. The ath-
letic director must measure up to tn
moral and intellectual standard re-
quired Of other faculty members.

MUCH CORN ON FARMS
Estimated That il Crop Were Sold
Entire Indebtedness of State
Could be Liguidated

RAILROAD Commissioner Charles
Webster has made an investigation
unofficially of the amount Of last
years corn crop now in the hands OF
the farmers of the state.
From figures and estimates he has
compiled he believes that about SIS
per cent of the 1920 corn crop is still
in the hands of the farmers. He de-
clares that this crop alone would
liquidate all of the Indebtedness of
the banks of this state to the federal
reserve bank and other banks.
Even at present figures, with the
price of corn at 40 cents per bushel,
the corn crop on hands would be
worth 100000" said Commits
sioner Webster in discussing business
conditions. This is figuring some
800, 900, 900 bushels of last years
corn in the farmers hands,"
Commissioner Webster has wide
business interests in Iowa and the
northwest, having been In the lumber
business in this state for many years
and an extensive shipper at various
times of grain and live stock. He has
been active with other state officials
and business men in placing before
the federal reserve bank officials the
situation in this state and the ne
cessity for disseminating the pressure
OF the federal reserve bank to force
liquidation in Iowa during the season
when crops must be put in and farm
operations financed. The federal
reserve officers have come over TO
this view and are not pushing collect
ions now as they were weeks ago.

NEW RULE ON TAXABLE ASSETS

If the telegraphed report from the
supreme court is correct, consid-
cradle addition is made to the taxa
BILE property of the United States. In
the case of the La Belle Iron works,
the court holds in effect that ac-
crued increment is taxable; that is,
whatever advance in value is noted
in the assets of the company must
be reflected in the tax return, re-
CARELESS Of the original investment,
where nothing appears to change the
form of investment. In this case
the property concerned is now val
ued at $4,000, 000s although it was
purchased by the company for $780,
900. The latter figure represents
the purchase price or investment at
the time, the former its present val
ne or investment. On. the basis of
cost or market, whichever is lower,
the company appears to have taken
q profit of s9,S10,000 on It's iron
lands, and therefore is held for
taxes to that extent. How far-reach-
ing this opinion will be, scarcely can
be conjectured. 1t will probably
have the effect of taking cognizance
of all the marked up values on
which income is now being returned,
and promises in that way to tap a
new reservoir of profits. AS Mr.. H.
Archibald Harris, of Chicago, testi-
flying before the senate finance COM
mittee, points out, the shaking" of
the returns for 1917 are bringing
out about sS5.000,O00 a month in
additional revenue, and that the
returns for 1918 will very likely
jump this to s75,O00,OOO, the prof
its tax as a revenue producer is be-
ginning to justify itself. When the
full weight Of the courts decision in
the iron company's case is felt, the
Treasury may be gamer by some bill
lions, enough at least to make quite
dent in the present floating debt.
