MORE GUNS FOR AUDUBON
Postal Department to Furnish Addi-
tional Pistols for Employees
Of Postoffice.

IF attacked, shoot and shoot to
KILL These were the words con-
veyed by the postmaster general to
the Marines detailed to guard the
mails. These sams<words have been
carried to the postmistress and en-
ployes OF the Audubon postoffice by
C. III. Glenn, postoffice inspector for
southwestern Iowa. Mr.. Glenn, in
his instructions to Kathryn Mcclure
said there must be better protection
of the mails everywhere, and in or
der to furnish better protection the
Audubon postoffice would be provid-
ed with additional 45-caliber auto
matte pistols.
No messenger carrying money en-
trusted to the mails Is to be sent
from the office unless he is accom-
panied by an armed guard. The
armed guard is instructed to shoot
to kill, and all employees about the
office have the same instructions.
Postmaster General Hays edict to
the Marines who have been detailed
to guard the mails in the larger cit
les of the United States as conveyed
to them by Secretary DENLY read as
follows:
There is no compromise in this
battle with bandits. IL two marines,
guarding a mail car, are suddenly
covered by robber, neither must
hold up his hands, but both must be-
gin shooting. One may be killed,
but the other will get the robber and
save the mail. When our men go as
guards over the mail, that mail must
be delivered or there must be a ma
rine dead at the post of duty.
you must be brave, as you al
ways are. You must be constantly
alert, and you must. when on guard
duty keep your weapons in hand
and, II attacked, shoot and shoot to
kill"

l.. Freeman all personal taxes for
1920 not paid by the first Monday in
December. will carry with it an adj
ditional penalty of five per cent.

to pay their personal taxes will do
we'll to pay them at once to avoid

INJURED BY FALLING TREE

Nathan Andrews, young farmer
near Extra barely escaped with his
life Monday when he sustained severe
bruises from a tree he and his
brother Billy were telling. The tree
had been cut down but the wind
being strong. threw the tree in a
different direction from that intend
ed by the men. AS result Nathan
was pinned to the ground under
meath one of the large limbs of the
tree. He was unable to extricate
himself and was held prisoner
until his brother had time to cut off
the limb. He was given medical
attention but on examination it was
found that no bones were broken.
Unless it develops that he received
internal injuries, 1t is thought that
her will recover. but for the present
he will be confined to his home.

CREATING WRONG IMPRESSION


Last weeks Extra Journal con-
tanned a short article that has a ten
dency to create a wrong impression
our officials" The article referred
to Is as follows:
'If all reports are true, bootleg
gers are reaping rich harvest in
and around Extra, to the detriment
of many OF our young men and some
of our older ones. We call the at
tention OF our officials to these
rumors and request an investigation.
We cannot afford to ignore the IL
legal traffic or close our eyes to re-
suits"
II the Journal or any Of the other
good people of Extra have any in
formation to furnish the officials,
who, in this case, would be Sheriff
Jorgensen, we can assure them that
the sheriff stands ready to perform
his duties. Mr.. Jorgensen and his
deputy, j. c. Boyer, are men of the
highest integrity and would not for
one moment shirk In the perform
ance of their duties.
II the Journal has nothing else to
base its charges on than mere rum
ors, IL is treading on dangerous
ground. Rumors are not even news
items, much less evidence of crime.
II we were to rely on rumors we
could fill our pages every week and
still not give our readrs any cor
rect information. In order to make
the investigation a reality, all the
Journal has to do Is TO furnish evil
dence to our sheriff and we will bet
dollars to doughnuts that the boot
leggers' rich harvest will be nipped
in the bud.

NEW PRESBYTERIAN MINISTER

AT meeting OF tHe meMD5rs OF
the Presbyterian church Tuesday
evening it was decided to extend a
call to Rev. o. B Lee. of Oskaloosa,
who preached in this city last Sun
day. The call has been sent to Rev.
Lee, but at this time he has not sig
nified his intentions of accepting the
call. II tho matter of salary can be
arranged satisfactorily, 1t is more
than likely that the reverend gentle
man will accept.
On next Sunday Rev. Stamp, Of
Council Bluffs will fill the pulpit

AUDUBON WINS GAME
Administer Decisive Defeat to Extra
Team in Exciting Game on
Armistice Day.

The football team of the Audubon
high school won a decisive victory
ever the Extra team on the home
grounds last Friday afternoon. This
was Audubon's last game of the sea-
son and 1t drew large and interest
ed crowd
Audubon started her winning
streak from the very beginning in
the first quarter when the home boys
made touchdown but failed to kick
goal. In the second quarter Audu-
bon made another touchdown and
was successful in kicking goal this
time. Extra made a safety in this
quarter, which gave them two points
TO Audubon's 13 at the close of the
first half.
In the second half, or the third
quarter, the Extra team put up a
strong fight. but they were unable
to hold the fast Audubonites, for
the home team made another touch
down for six points. though they
failed for the second time to kick
goal. 1t was the last quarter that
Audubon was able to make the larg-
est number of scores. They made
two touchdowns and kicked goal
once, giving them a total of ID
points for the quarter. or total of
10. points for the last half of the
game. The score at the close of the
game was 32 to 2, in favor of Au-
dubon.
Seibert of Extra and Niklason of
Audubon were the star players.
One of the Extra players was in
jured in the third quarter and had
to be substituted for. In the next
quarter, Roth for Audubon had to
be substituted for. 1t was good,
clean game in every respect.
