FARM BUILDINGS DESTROYED

Fire destroyed a barn 36x4O, an
old machinery shed, and the roof of
a large granary, as well as a hay
stack on the John Lewis farm ~
miles northeast of Audubon, last
Sunday afternoon at about three
o'clock. Jens Nelson is farming the
place. The fire was first discov-
cred in the top Of the roof of the
barn, but just how the conflagration
started is not known. 1t was either
from spontaneous combustion or the
result of children playing around
the barn with matches. Shortly aft
er the fire was discovered, a four
year-old boy was seen with a burned
match in his hand. The fact that
the fire started in the roof would in
dicate that it was not set on fire.
However, the loss is quite heavy
on Mr.. Nelson, who besides losing
his hay, other feed, and harness, is
put to quite an Inconvenience and
expense, for he carried no insurance
on the property that was DESTROYED.
Mr.. Lewis carried $500 insurance
on the barn. Jens Loss, of this city
was at the farm at the time of the
fire, and reports that Mr.. Lewis will
rebuild at once.

BACK FROM VACATION

Wesley Jay, the jovial and good
natured janitor at the court house,
who has been enjoying a six-weeks'
vacation, returned home last night
and today is found at his post Of
duty. doing the routine work and
keeping the county officials in good
spirits. The middle of July Mr.. Jay
went to Villas, S. D., for visit with
his daughter, Mrs. Watt Fry. No
sooner had he arrived than they be-
gan to arrange for an old-time dance
and knowing Mr.. Jays ability as a
fiddler" they pressed him into serv-
ice and almost compelled him to
work overtime. He and Dick owen
furnished most of the music for sew
eraI dances that were held in Yves
ley's honor among the former Audu-
bonites who are located at Villas and
Howard.
After a good visit at the Fry
home Mr.. Jay went to Sterling, Col
OrdQO, lot NISlL WIN MS SOh'
James Jay and family. Mr.. Jay had
fiddled just occasionally at his sons
home, when his musical ability be-
came known to the people Of the
town. A few days later the Rotary
Club, of Sterling, held one of their
meetings in the Christian church,
and Wesley Jay and his son were
the star performers, furnishing the
music for the occasion, and from
che applause they received, Wesley
says he was convinced that the Ro-
tarians fully enjoyed the music.
He wound up his vacation by Wis
iting at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. Alfred Ramsay, at Greeley,
Colo. Last Friday he expected to
start back to Audubon, when he
. happened to meet G. w. Hoover,
who was also there on a visit. Mr..
Hoover would not hear to Wesley
going home that day and asked him
to join in a trip to FIT. Morgan, FIT.
Collins, Estes Park and Denver. Mr..
Jay accepted Mr.. Hoover's invita-
zion and he said he had the time of
his life riding through the noun
>tains with Mr.. Hoover. While on
the trip they met Sim Curtis, Chas.
Wolf, Mrs. w. w. Waldron, Ray
Hoover, and number of former
Audubon people.
In an interview with Mr.. Jay last
night he told us that he never had
better time in his life. Every
where he went they showed him
good time but he said it was i'm
possible for him to get away from

BIG IMPROVEMENT IN TIRES

Zone of the most satisfactory
things about the tire business" says
V. F. Melkus, of the Melkus Tire
Shop, dealer in United States tires,
''is the way tires have improved in
the last few years. Not so many
years ago even the best tires were
none too good, but today a car own
er who buys a tire with a good rep
utation is sure of getting his moneys
worth. There are plenty of wild
cat tires on the market but a deal
er who wants to stay in business per-
manently soon learns that such tires
only lose his customers.
United States Royal Cord tires
hold the worlds record for mile
age, both for a single tire and for
full set. ]. D. Adams & Company,
Of Kansas City, hold the record for
a single tire, with $4,000 miles, and
a Boston merchant carries off the
palm for a set of four with 39,152
miles"

DOING A BIG BUSINESS

A representative of the Republic
can made a trip to the Audubon
Brick and Tile Works the fore part
of the week to look over the plant
and to see what kind of a product
the plant was producing. He was
surprised to find the large quantity
of material on hand and to see the
number of wagons loading the pro-
duct to be taken out onto the farms.
For two years the plant was prac-
tically idle, but now, under the
management of F. ]. Koch the plant
has taken on new life. There is a
large force at work keeping the
plant in operation and we learn that
many orders for brick and tile are
being received from outside towns.
In conversation with a disinterested
party who knows what good tile is,
he remarked that the product Of the
Audubon plant was the best he had
seen on the market. 1t was well
made and properly cured, giving the
finished product strength and dur
ability.
The people of the community
should give the local plant the pat
ronage it deserves. In the hands of
competent men the plant can be
made a paying proposition to the
owners and a valuable asset to the
town and community.
It is q pleasure to talk to Mr..
Koch. He is thoroughly familiar
with his business and knows how to
impart his knowledge in an intelli-
gent manner to the consumer of his
product. 81, ....t1 - ,-s-r-

"Come-take mother and me to the
party at Mrs. Kinzie's," said BIN. "A
very grand young man was coming to
take us In wonderful carriage, but
he's half an hour late now. We won't
wait for him."
So the three set out together afoot
for Mrs, Kinzie's, while Samson sat
down for a visit with Jack Kelso.
The Kinzies' house was Of brick
and larger and more pretentious than
any in Chicago. Its lawn, veranda
and pariOr were crowded with people
in curious variety Of costumes.
Nearly all the festive company wore
diamonds. They scintillated on fin
gers, some of which were knotted with
toll; they glowed on shirt bosoms and
morning as well as evening gowns
on necks and ears, which should have
been spared the emphasis of Jewels.
Col. Zachary Taylor, who had just
arrived from Florida and was pres
emily returning with a regiment Of re-
cruits for the Seminole war, was
at Mrs. Kinzie's party. He remem-
bered Harry and took him in hand
and introduced him to many Of his
friends as the best scout in the Black
Hawk war, and, in spite Of his dress,
the young man became one of the
lions of the evening.

SCOUT LAWS IN CAMP.

Every boy scout attending the White
Plains Council camp this summer, Is
given a little folder on the application
of the scout law In camp
Here are few of the paragraphs
discussing the different laws:
A Scout Is Trustworthy.-A scouts
honor is trusted in camp as well as
elsewhere. The things you brought
to camp belong to you and what the
other campers brought belong to
them. Do not take anything that does
not belong to you without asking per-
mission of the owner. II he loans you
anything, you are trusted with 1t and
are expected to return 1t in as good
condition as when taken to the place
or person from whom borrowed. You
are responsible for any camp tools or
equipment you may use which are the
property of the camp. Be careful with
them and return them to their proper
place. When on a hike with other
scouts or alone, you are on your honor
and expected to behave as scout.
A Scout Ia charlottesville, smile.
smile. No long face In camp. 1t will
cheer you up and also the other fell
low. Do your work cheerfully and
don't grumble at hardships nor shirk
your duty. There are duties to be
done In camp; go at them with smile
and you will work better and quicker.
Time is saved by doing your task the
best 1t can be done. Don't consider
II done until 1t is done in the very
best way.
A Scout Is Thrifty.-The camp
equipment has cost a great deal OF
money. 1t belongs to the scouts. How
long it lasts, depends a great deal on
how you use 1t. A scout does not de-
stroy any property whether 1t belongs
to himself or TO another Respect the
rights Of others by using their things
In the right way. Make good use Of
your time in camp by learning some
thing that will be of use to you. II
isn't necessary to spend all your
money because it has been given you
or you have earned 1t. To save 1t
from being lost or recklessly spent
the camp bank is operated. Deposit 1t
there.
