Employee Many Years Starts
in Business for Himself

II. H. Crocker has started in the
poultry. eggs and cream business on
his own hook and is nicely located
in the basement of the Park hotel

gagged in the business for many years
having been employed by c. H..

personal acquaintance that will be a
valuable asset.

of the week. The room is large
enough to handle the business for
the present, at least In another col
INN of today's Republican Mr..
Croker solicits portion of the
farmers business. He is exception
ally well posted in his work and will
no doubt make a success of the bus
mess venture.

MAKE $1,000 DONATION

At meeting of the directors OF
the Audubon County Red Cross
Chapter, Tuesday evening, it was de-
cided to contribute $1,000 toward
the Near East Relief fund. This
was certainly a very generous do
nation. Individuals have made do
nations and so have some of the
churches of the county, and yet Au-
dubon county lags far behind in the
quota which has been assigned to 1t.
In order to meet the quota some spe-
cial work will have to be done be-
tween now and the 18th of February
when the drive for funds will close.
III there are any individuals who de-
sire to contribute to the fund they
may make their contribution to any
of the newspaper offices in the coun-
ty, who will in turn remit direct to
LATE Young, of Des Moines, who is
the state chairman.

NURSE VISITS MANY HOMES

Miss Barbara Agan, from the state
office of the Iowa tuberculosis Assoc
citation, has been spending three
weeks in Audubon county aiding
Miss Skoy in survey of health, con-
ditions in the county. During this
survey especial attention has been
paid to persons who have been in
contact with tuberculosis or who
themselves are below par In health.
During the survey, visits were
made in 125 homes throughout the
county, and great efforts were made
that every one might find out just
what was the aim of and the benefit
to be derived from this clinic exam
nation. Notifications were sent to
members Of the Public Health Serv-
ice Report committee, to ministers
and to ex-service men.

Cake

A program of toasts had been ar
ranged, but owing to the lateness Of
the hour and the necessity of so
many present being compelled to
keep an eight o'clock engagement,
that part of the program was dis
pensed with.
Audubon has been without hotel
almost two years. The people of the
city, and especially the businessmen,
realize the necessity of having a
good hotel. They do not hesitate in
saying that they will give their sup
port to maintain a hotel such as<the
town Is entitled to. The Sweet Home
hotel takes the place of the old Ar
lington hotel. The building has been
completely remodeled, and the own
err, James Law, has been very gener-
Gus in making such improvements
as were necessary to give Audubon a
first-class hotel He had many OPP
portunities to rent the building, but
declined 60 do so, until Mrs. Ship
made application for 1t. She came
highly recommended, having sue
cessfully conducted hotels at Har-
Ian, Defiance and other towns. For
several weeks large force was kept
busy getting the building in condi-
ton, for it had not been in operation
for years.
Following the banquet, dancing
was INDUCED in, the east half of the
building being used as dance hall
The dance was well patronized and
proved exceedinly popular. The
music was furnished by a local or
chestra.

1t was raining the hardest. and
wondered how many years II would
be until Iowa roads would be paved
and the autos running in rain as
well as in sunshine. However, Cal
iforhia has a great advantage over
Iowa on the road proposition. In
the first place, the roads here are
not laid out on section lines like they
are in Iowa Most of the main roads
run from town to town and they fol-
low the best route, whether II is di-
rect or not. Then again, they have
a better foundation to build on here,
especially in this part of the state,
owing to the nature OF the soil.
There is an abundance Of building
material and the pavement does not
need to be very thick. as there is no
freezing. ! saw narrow paved road
recently which wound its way
through the mountains to the north
east of here. The steep mountain
sides were covered with beautiful
vegetables, trees, orange groves,
vineyards, etc. 1t was a picture OF
rare beauty. / would like to see the
roads of Iowa in such condition that
the rural population could get any
where at any time, regardless Of the
weather conditions, the only possible
exception being in case of sleet or
drifted snow. This can only come
when a majority Of Iowa voters favor
such a plan. With woman suffrage
effective now, / could not venture a
guess at the outcome. 1 have an in
ward feeling somehow that women is
stronger in home-making than she
is on road-making. Good luck to all,
anyway.

western depot, received word from
headquarters this morning that be-
ginning with next Sunday the Sun
day train on the branch from Carroll

But in the matter of the recent threat
ened strike of railway workers, the is
sue was clear and there was no room
for misunderstanding public sent!-
ment. The brotherhood chiefs real
lied this.
There is an old adage that what is
sauce for the goose is sauce for the
gander" and it applies to the relation
ship between the railroads and their
employees. If the railroads attempt 20
take an unfair advantage of their en-
ployes in the future they cannot ex-
peet less than that the railway labor
board will call them down as hard as
it did the brotherhoods,
1t must be recognized that in the
handling of labor problems distinct
progress has been made. The rait-
way labor board is the Kansas indus

George Matthew Adams
Daily Talk
ROBERT MAC ADAMS.

I have been travelling over mac
adam roads for long time. And so
have you. Recently 1 had occasion to
have a short piece of road made to
the entrance of my home. The man
who did 1t recommended macadam.
1t was only of late that I learned
this road was named after the man
who first invented the process. His
name was Robert MacAdam. He was
the royal highway commissioner OF
England a little more than a hun
bred years ago.
MacAdam was a fine type of man
sturdy, honest. painstaking and
thoro. And he was the originator of
the best road the world boasts Of
when made as MacAdam meant that
it should be made. He did things 70
last and 1 am told that his roads were
the pride of his country-so much so
that the king himself and parliament
appreciated his work and offered him
a higher salary. They also tried to
give him title and make him a baron.
But MacAdam said that he was paid
we'll enough and that he would feel
uncomfortable with a title. 1 hear a
very few people turning down offers
of higher salary and titles today
1 am glad that they named the pro-
duct of this mans toll after him, to
perpetuate his hard work and
thought. I shall think of him every
time 1 travel over a macadam road.
The great lesson from Robert Mac
Adams life, however, shall be this
that he created something which had
not until then been a practical pro-
ject Also, he took a great pride in
his work and in doing it SO we'll that
it has lasted over a hundred years.
Another thing-no sooner did he
perfect this new process of road
building than he sought to make it a
permanent part of his contribution to
the world. He didn't perfect 1t to
make money and he seemed TO
have nothing but contempt for empty
honors that added nothing to his
achievements.
Long live the macadam road as
tribute to the sterling man of char
acter who first gave the process to
the world.

THE KANSAS PLAN.

The railroad labor heard practically
read the riot act" to the railroad
unions when it told them that they
must not strike without first obtain
ing the consent Of the board and that
if they violate this injunction they will
lose the protection of the board.
This may look like craftsmanship on
the part of the board, but if the rail-
roads now attempt te reduce wages
without first obtaining the board S
consent they probably will be given q
dose Of the same medicine. 1t IS
doubtful that either party can afford
to disobey the boards orders. even
tho it be not clothed with power %
enforce them, for it has the power 20
make it extremely unpleasant for
those who ignore it's commands and in
doing so it will have the backing of
the public and the government at
Washington.
Theodore Roosevelt once said !:
EVERY employer, every wage worker.
must be guaranteed his liberty and his
right to do as he likes with his prop
erty or his labor as long as he does not
infringe upon the rights of others"
That the worker when dissatisfied
with wages or working conditions has
a right t. quit his job and seek en-
ployment more to his liking probably
none will deny. But when he con-
spires with his fellow craftsmen 10
force his employer to continue to en-
ploy him on terms OF his own making
by threatening to ruin the business of
said employer, the public and the gov
eminent. become interested. especially
IL the industry affected be essential
to the general welfare.
It is the business of the federal gov
erhment to protect every citizen in his
rights. be he employe. employer or
neither. In doing this it viii always
have the backing of the great major
ity Of the citizens The public is dis
posed to be fair when it understands
the matter at issue. It does not al
ways understand and may be misled
at times by interested propagandists.

Henry Ford says that railroad oper-
atives only should be permitted 20
invest in the stocks of railroads. The
fact is that railroad employees have
always had an opportunity to invest IN
stocks Their compensation has been
large enough so that they could save
money which could be thus invested,
and yet a very small proportion Of
them put their money into railroad Sc
curities Similar opportunities are o.
fercd. workers in many other lines Of
industry. but workers as a rule APP
pear inclined to get all they can out
OF the business without taking any Of
the r-sks.
