which Johnson paid Christensen for
100 shares of stock in the Common
wealth Mortgage Co.. of Des Moines.
This company began the erection of
a large building in Des Moines, on
Grand avenue, but when the lower
floor of the building had been built
it evidently ran out of funds, and

received one cent of profit. The
stock was sold to Mr.. Johnson early
in 1920
Mr.. Christensen filed his answer
in court Friday, and denies that he
made any promises to Johnson other
than were fully carried out. In the
original petition Ed Johnson claims
that it was because of his long ac-
quaintance with Mr.. Christensen
that he bought che stock, and that
Mr.. Christensen used to be his bank

SENTIMENT HAS CHANGED

That much good will come from
the conference on disarmament is
the opinion of Josephus Daniels, sec
rotary of war under President Will
son.
Mr.. Daniels expressed himself in
this vein Monday evening, in an in
terview. soon after arriving in Coun-
Gil Bluffs for his address at the au-
ditorium.
Eyes, expect something to come
out of the conference" he said in an
swer in a question. There was a
time when people who urged disarm-
ament and such things were consid-
cred idealists and we let 1t pass at
that. But today the Country is
aroused. Many other countries are
aroused and demanding that this be
done
cit Is not Just the idealists that
want Il today Business has Joined
In and the big men OF the govern
ment are interested. The govern
ment, burdened with taxation that
comes from this perpetual prepare
tion for war. is demanding that
something be done. II is good bus
mess that something should be done.
There is a sincerity about this
conference that was something unex-
pected by the people and that means
much to its success The nations of
the earth are evidently seeing things
in their true light and are sincerely
striving to do something that will
tighten the burdens OF their govern
ments and make the world better for
the people"

LITTLE CORN IN ELEVATORS
Farmers Keeping Crop on Farm In
stead of Selling 1t at Present
Low Prices.

Iowa farmers are holding their
corn for higher prices in many sec
lions of the state and there is even a
shortage in the elevators, according
to report issued today by the Near
East Relief commission.
The report states that at Atlantic,
Hampton, Indianola and several 9th
err points. the relief organization has
made an effort 20 buy corn from the
elevators, 20 be shipped to the relief
of the starving peoples of Armenia.
Money contributed by local business
houses was to be used for the pur-
chases. The workers discovered
that the elevators were so short of
corn that the desired quantities
could not be bought
SIN many sections the farmers are
of the belief that higher corn prices
are coming soon and are refusing to
sell at this time" said State Director
C. A. Montanus.
The Near East Relief workers are
having no difficulty in obtaining di-
rect donations of corn from the
farmers. to be milled and sent to the
famine regions Of Armenia, Mr.. Mon
tanus said. An active campaign for
this gift corn is now being carried
on in practically all counties of the
state. in order to-rush relief to Ar
menia before winter closes in.

WHY WE WENT TO WAR

II anyone had forgotten why we
went 20 war, his memory must have
been refreshed and his doubts resolv-.
ed by the clear-voiced answer OF
Armistice Day. 1t was America
again at her best who was speaking
the America that we knew and
heard in certain great moments of
the war. and have so seldom heard
during the three years since the arm
istice. 1t was America solemnly-
even tearfully-but with radiant
hope and resolve. turning from the
grave OF the Unknown Soldier, who
died perhaps believing his to be
service destined to change the tide
OF human affairs" determined to
make that half-dared belief a re-
ality.
Would America have paused for
even two minutes in silence, over
the bier of this Unknown Youth IL
he had entered the war lust 90
"have his skin" or had gone "reluct-
antly and laggardly." even to save
his own country? Would the great
est statesmen and warriors of the
earth have come solemnly to these
ceremonies and laid upon his cof-
can give" If they had not assumed
that what was within symbolized un-
selfishness, chiyalry and faith?
Would the immense audience In
Madison Square Garden have Joined
the President in the prayer over this
body, or have caught mp the strains
of "America' from Arlington, and
sung the words In unison with those
around the coffin, II they had not in
their hearts fully dared belief that
his service was destined TO bring
better world?" No. Somewhere,
as the President said, there was, in
this young man on the way to his
objective. "a thought of world
awakened" of "a wider freedom.
This objective. vaguely seen. led us
into the Great War. II should lead
us on into the Great Peace.-New

DISTRICT COURT
MEETS NEXT WEEK
ONE OF LARGEST DOCKETS IN
HISTORY OF COUNTY FOR
DECEMBER TERM.

The December term of the Audi
bon county district court will con-
vene in this city on Tuesday of next
week. with Judge o. ID. Wheeler, of
Council Bluffs, presiding. A large
list of cases have been docketed for
the term. A total of 22 new cases
were filed for this term, making a
grand total of 125 cases on the dock
ct which was issued from this office
the fore part of the week. There
are five State cases, all of which
were carried over from last term.
While the number OF cases is much
larger than in previous years, yet it
is not thought that it will take more
time to try them. In the October
term there were tive more cases than
at this term, but when many OF them
were called, large per cent of them
were settled. The greater part Of
the law suits are for the collection
of accounts and notes that are long
past due.
The grand jury will meet in ses-
sion Tuesday afternoon Immediately
after receiving their instructions
from the court. The petit jurors
have been summoned to appear at
9 o'clock on Wednesday morning OF
next week. Following is a list of
the jurors drawn:

WOMAN MURDERS SON .
and KILLS HERSELF
WIFE OF IRWIN FARMER USES
STOVE FOKER TO KILL SON,
THEN CUTS OWN THROAT

A double tragedy occurred Tues
day on farm two miles north Of
Irwin, when Mrs. Dye LeRetter muir.
dered her 7-year-old SON and then
committed suicide. The circurl-
stances were so clear that no investi-
cation was made by the authorities.
The crime was undoubtedly COM
mitted during fit of insanity. the
terrible evidence of which confront
ed the husband and father when he
and his hired man returned to the
house from the cornfield at the noon
hour, expecting to find dinner await
ing them.
The great mental strain and emo
lions under which the woman was
driven to the act was evidenced by
the condition in which the men
found the bodies.
The little lads head had been
crushed almost to a pulp, the
bloody and hair-besmattered stove
poker lying near. evidencing the
fact that the frenzied woman had
beaten the lad to death. After the
boy had been killed, to make certain
the work of destruction, the woman
had cut the boys throat with knife.
almost beheading him.
She then cut her own throat, sew
ering the jugular vein, and died al
most instantly. Mrs. LeRetter was
a woman about 3S years of age.
Insanity appears to have run
through the family, as her father.
grandfather and an uncle all took
their own lives.
Mrs. LeRetter had been acting
strangely for few days. but as she
had said she was in good health no
importance was attached to her
actions.
The dead boy was the only child.
The husband and father and his
hired man were almost overcome
by the frightfulness ofsthe scene that
confronted them in the little country
home, from which they had gone
forth in che morning in the best OF
health and spirits.
Funeral services for the two vic
Tins were held at Harlan yesterday
afternoon.

DOLLAR DAYS ARE WINNERS
Large Crowds Throng the Stores OF
Audubon During the Two
Special Days.

The two dollar Days" put on by
the merchants of Audubon Tuesday
and Wednesday of this week proved
decided success from every stand
point. Tuesday morning most OF
the stores who Joined In putting on
the special sale were thronged with
early buyers. A constant stream OF
buyers visited the stores all day
long In several of the stores the
special bargains advertised didn't
last but a few hours and they were
compelled to telephone in their or
ders for fresh supply. The Carter
Hardware store was Obliged to send
in two telephone calls for new sup
plies. which reached here yesterday
afternoon and they were scarcely
able to fill all Of the orders.
In an interview with the mer-
chants yesterday afternoon prac-
tically all of them were more than
pleased with the result. Not mer-
chant kicked. but of course there
was more buying in some lines than
In others, which of course was large
ly due to the season OF the year.
Doughnuts and coffee were fur
nished free by the Community Club.
and both were served both days. in
the basement of che library. This
proved to be big drawing card and
highly appreciated by many of the
farmers and their families who came
q long distance in order to avail
themselves of the special bargains.
At 1850 YESTERDAY afternoon hun
dreds OF persons gathered in front
of the Crescent theatre to claim the
two gold nrizes that were given
away by The Audubon Republican
and the Audubon Advocate. Both
OF abe newspapers were numbered
last week and each person was re-
uuested to bring their paper with
them II was the stipulation that
the winner, IN order 20 claim the
prize, had to be there In person and
present the newspaper holding the
number drawn.
A small boy was secured to draw
the numbers out of large box.
These numbers were read by r. s.
Van Gorder and Cav s. Thomas. the
president and secretary of the Com
munity Club,
Five numbers were drawn before
the first prize was awarded This
number was 2072 and was held by
John Budd. This entitled him to the
$40 gold piece. Two numbers were
drawn for the second prize, the
lucky man being Clark jerks, who
held number 2642 and he was given
the $40 gold piece.
III. N. Schneeweis, the promoter of
the plan, said that he was more than
pleased with the manner in which
the people responded to the appeal
ing ads published by the merchants
and expressed his satisfaction that
the campaign in Audubon was as
satisfactory from every point as any
sale he had ever been connected
with. He worked hard and faithful
ly to make the first Dollar Days a
success in Audubon. and most OF the
credit is due him.

BRUTAATrEs OUGHT TO END

The Washington conference which
Is seeking to save the human race
from further wars ought to come to
an agreement about some things at
least. II ought to be agreed that in
case there is another war neither
submarines nor poison gas should
be considered as any part OF legit-
innate war.
The submarine represents coward
ice. 1t moves in the dark. There is
no good way of tracing its move
ments. II springs up from the water
to the surface like serpent raising
its head to strike. 1t is an inhuman
creature. There is nothing manly
about q submarine.
The conference ought also to de-
clare against the use of poison gas.
Human ingenuity never invented a
more diabolical thing than poison
gas. The Germans introduced the
stuff. When II was first heard OF
humanity shuddered. At first the
world would not believe. Finally.
after its persistent use the method
was no longer criticised. One reason
for that was that the Germans had
established a reputation for brutali-
ty and there was no use to argue the
question with them. But the Wash
ington conference can express itself
concerning the double-dyed brutality
of poison gas.

SOCIAL A BrG SUCCESS
Many Unique Costumes at Social OF
Monday Night, Given by The
Columbian Club.

The lizard Times social given by
the ladies OF the Columbian Club at
the armory Monday evening was ex-
ceptionally well attended. Many
unique costumes were in evidence,
which with the other features, fur
nished no end OF merriment to the
large audience. AS result the club
took in about s135.
Those who failed to come in cos
tune appropriate to the occasion
were fined rs cents at the door. The
police force was busy all evening.
and the court of justice continued
to function with unprecedented ra-
pidity.
Four clowns kept the big crowd in
good spirits all evening. The candy
and popcorn booth did thriving
business, while Miss Wolfe's shoot
ing gallery was we'll patronized. The
mems booth. as well as the fishing
pond. were given excellent patron
age.
In every respect the social was a
success and the committee having
the affair in charge is to be conpli-
mented for furnishing such delight
full entertainment and such variety
of good eats"

TO SHOW AT INTERNATIONAL

r. l.. Anderson shipped his FOUR
year-old Clydesdale mare to Ames
the fore part OF the week. where II
will be consigned with other pure
bred live stock to be shipped to the
International Live Stock Show to be
held in Chicago from Nov. 26th to
Dec. 3rd. This mare was awarded
the Grand Champion in its class at
the state fair in Des Moines. The
same Judge will officiate at the Chi
cago snow and he informed Mr.. An
derson that this Clydesdale mare
was positively the best individual
he had ever had the pleasure OF
judging. From such remarks one is
almost safe in venturing the asser-
ton that Mr. Anderson stands good
chance of winning high honors at
the national show. Mr.. Anderson
leaves for Chicago tomorrow and
will remain until the close Of the
show.

at the Methodist church the past
three weeks, came to a close last
Sunday evening. The evangelist,
Rev. o. G. circuit, preached a pow

persons came forward. His subject
was THE Banquet of Death" A
total of twelve persons came forward
for the day.
During the three weeks cam

this number 20 have Joined the
Methodist church. Other converts
who signed cards and expressed their

Sunday morning a free-will offer

Harriet Bilharz had charge OF this
part OF the program and in about
twenty minutes s475 was raised.
This was a free-will offering in all
the term implies. No one person
gave more than $40. Practically
everyone at the service gave some
amount, which accounted for the
generous sum. The expenses for the

MUST CUT The
FREIGHT RATES
COMMISSION DEMANDS THAT
ROADS MAKE CUT IN RATES
TO HELP FARMERS

A positive order was issued by the
interstate commerce commission at
Washington, on Monday, requiring
railroads to put the approximately
16 per cent decrease in hay and
grain rates into effect on or before
December 9th.
The order follows up the decision
given Oct. goth by the commission
which declared grain and hay rates
from the Mississippi valley to the Pa
cific coast unreasonable high, but
which did not carry compulsory or
ders. The October decision instruct
ed the railroads 20 make the reduc-
tion by Nov. goth, which was not
done because the railroads opened
negotiations with the commission.
suggesting that a 10 per cent de-
crease in freight rates on all agri-
cultural products be substituted for
the larger decrease on grain pro-
ducts and hay alone.
The commission. however. by the
order issued, disregarded the COM
promise proposed by the railroads
and makes the larger decreases on
hay and grain mandatory upon the
roads.
The order issued made specific
and definite the hay and grain re-
auctions. The original decision said
railroads should reduce the rates on
the products concerned by one-half
OF the increases given in 1920. The
commission ordered hay and grain
rates between points in mountain
Pacific territory and not more than
1875 per cent above the rates in eff
feet before the 1920 increases Be-
tween points in the western group
as defined in it's decision where 40
per cent increases were allowed in
1920 the commission ordered them
made effective as 20 per cent; be-
tween other western group points
the commission held rates shall not
exceed 17.5 per cent above the old
schedules, and between points in the
mountain-Pac group and points
in the western group the increase
above the old 1920 schedule shall be
held to 1866 per cent. The effect
of the order thus is to make specific
the percentages of redCtion in the
territory concluded. The commits
sion also reiterated its decision re-
curing the roads TO fix rates for
coarse grain, such as corn, at 10 per
cent less than the rates on wheat.
The western group mentioned in the
order includes territory between the
Mississippi and Illinois rivers and
the north and south boundary line
on which the states of North Da-
kota, Montana. South Dakota, Wy
oming and Nebraska join, and ex-
tending south to Ell Paso, Tex. The
mountain-Pacific group lies between
the western group and the Pacific
coast.
