FORMER AUDUBON
PEOPLE MARRIED

Word has just reached Audubon
of the marriage or two young peo-
pie who formerly lived in this city,
but who with their parents moved
to lands, Sask., Canada. The bride
after securing her high school edu-
cation, went to st. Paul's hospital
training while the groom is pros
porous young farmer. The follow
ing account of the wedding appear
ed in the Saskatoon newspaper:
AT ten O'Clock Friday morning,
July 8. Gladys May McHargue. the
younger daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
s. A. McHargue, of Lands, became
the bride of Mr.. Merrill ]. Ruther-
ford, eldest son of Mr.. and Mrs. J..
Rutherford, of Lands. The GER
emony was performed by Rev. c. w.
Brown, at the Grace Methodist
parsonage, Saskatoon, in the pres
ence of the immediate relatives of
the bride, including Mr.. III. e. Plax-
ton, of Wainwright, Alberta.
"The bride was gowned in white
georgette, combined with crepe do
chene, daintily embroidered, and
wore a white tulle hat with ostrich
tips and satin streamers. She car
ried a beautiful bouquet of white
carnations, sweet peas and maiden
hair fern. Miss Lucille Rutherford,
sister of the groom, in rose georg-
cite, with picture hat of Jet, was
bridesmaid. Her flowers were pink
sweet peas and fern. The brides
brother, Mr.. H. M. McHargue, sup
ported the groom.
"After the ceremony, the bridal
party proceeded to the Flanagan
hotel, where a dainty six-course
luncheon was served. The table
was beautifully decorated with
flowers and the brides cake.

NEW BAND LEADER

The Audubon Cornet Band has a
new leader in the person OF Hans
Engels, of Chicago, who has decid-
ed to locate here permanently.
Since early in the spring Prof. John
Vecchi, of Des Moines, has had
charge of the band, but on account
of his foreign manners, it was diff
ficult for him to make any further
progress with the band. The pro-
lessor no doubt understood music,
and under his leadership the, band
made rapid progress for while.
He was employed by the CONNER
cial Club at a salary of $125 per
month, which was 20 remain in eff
feet as long as he proved satisfac-
tory. On account of so much dis
sention in the organization it was
best 20 release Prof. VVecchi. This
was done last Friday, when he re-
turned to his home in Des Moines.
Were he to lead band whose men,
bers were all on salary, We do
not doubt but that he could perfect
a splendid organization, but under
the circumstances the Commercial
Club did what was best, for many
of the players refused 10 come 10
band practice IL the leader was to
be retained.
Mr.. Engels had band rehearsal
in the band room Tuesday night
The members were more than de-
lighted with his manner of leader
ship and all are starting in again
with renewed effort. The band
concerts have been a big drawing
card this summer, and we may ex.
pect some excellent concerts from
now till the close of the season.

AN OLD TIMER HERE

DIR. ]. III. Kern and daughter, Miss
Bernice, of Runnells, Iowa, were in
this city on business yesterday. DR..
Kern practiced his profession here
when the town first started. A few
years later, however, he located in
Kimballton where he practiced for
ten years before locating in Runnels.
Yesterday was the first time the
doctor has visited the city since he
left the county. He was very much
surprised to find such a modern lit
tie city. and the country surrounding
it so we'll developed.
The visit to Audubon was also of
much interest to hrs daughter, for
she was born in Audubon but few
months before theg moved away.
DR.. Kern and his daughter met quite
a number of people whom he knew
and spent the night out on the ridge
road with an old acquaintance. Miss
Kern is young woman of unusual
talent. For several years she APP
peared as a reader and dramatic
artist on the lyceum platform.

GRADING CONTRACT
HAS BEEN LET
IN BRIDGE CON-
TRACT MAKES IMPOSSIBLE
TO LET CONTRACT NOW

The board of supervisors was in
session at the court house last Tues
day, for the purpose of receiving
bids for the erection of 50 box Gull
verts and bridges and the excava-
tion and removal of approximately
475,316 cubic yards OF earth on
Federal Aid Project So which ex-
tends from the north corporation
line of the town of Extra to the Car
roll county line, a distance of some
seventeen miles.
There were ten bidders on the
excavation work, and bids ranged
all the way from 241s cents a cubic
yard 90 Ale. The lowest bid was
that of the Geo. Condor Co., of
Omaha, whose bid was a fraction
less than "a u C per cubic yard. The
total amount of the contract award
ed to him will amount to approx
mately $116,500. Work on the
project is to begin at once and is to
be completed by October 1, 1929.
The contractor stated that he would
have a force of men at work within
two weeks and would stay on the
job until it was completed.
There were nine bidders on the
bridge work, and there was quite
wide range of figures. The Jen-
sen Construction Co., of Kimball-
ton, was the lowest bidder. The
board of supervisors was unable to
let the contract, owing to an error
in their bid. The company had
listed the price of each individual
job separately, but in adding, they
made an error which made a diff
ference of over $4,000 in the total.
Their bid was S41,oyz, but If cor
rectly added should have been $45,-
9S5. Even at that figure the Jen-
sen Construction Co. was about
$4,000 below the next bidder. The
matter is being taken up with the
state highway commission at Ames,
and it is quite likely the matter can
be arranged so that the contract
can be awarded without the formal
ity of another letting.
The project is one of the largest
to be let in the state of Iowa. The
expense will be met by funds fur
nished by the government. The
only expense to the county will be
the purchase Of additional right-of-
way necessary in order to make the
required changes in the road.

CHAPTER INSTITUTED
HERE MONDAY NIGHT
NEW ORGANIZATION FOR BOYS
WILL START IN AUDUBON
WITH 40 MEMBERS

Audubon chapter DeMolay fol
| Boys was instituted at a special
meeting held in this city last Mon.
day evening. This is an organiza.
ton for boys between the ages OF 16
and 81 years and is sponsored by the
members of Amity Chapter r. A. M
of Audubon.
This organization was started
about year ago, and has met with
such hearty response that the head
officers find il difficult to issue
special dispensations fast enough to
start the chapters going. The Au.
dubon chapter starts with a mem.
bership of about forty. There were
Twenty-Five candidates in the class
Monday night, but there are several
who took the work in Atlantic and
Iowa City who will demit and put in
their membership here.
The degree team from the Allan
tic Chapter conferred the work. The
officers of the organization are all
boys, there being but one office held
by an adult, and that is the Daddy
Mason" who is present at all meet
ings and sees that the work is car
ried out according to the ritual.
Owing to the large crowd desiring
to attend, the Masonic lodge room
was too small, so the court room
was used for the purpose. All Ma
sons in good standing can attend the
meetings, and this being the first
meeting of its kind in Audubon,
many Masons from Audubon, Extra,
Gray and Manning were in attend
ance.
The Atlantic team is one of the
very best in the state. The officers
were especially efficient and han
died their work magnificently. The
work is something wonderful, and
every young man who is eligible
should belong to the order of De-
Molay for Boys. Following is the
list of candidates who were initial
ed Monday night:
Emil Henshaw BilharZ, Fred Har-
old Basham, Martin Pierre Barent-
sen, Wayne Howard Black, Charles
Kenneth Davis, Leroy WINNER Gore,
John Franklin Gault. Lewis Lloyd
Griffith, Harold Winifred Hunt,
Charles Harry Hansen, Henry I.

Charles Kenneth Davis was elect
ed Master Counselor and w. N. Wal
tiers Daddy" Meetings will be held
in a short time and the remaining
officers elected. AS soon as the Sc
lection of officers has been complet-
ed the Audubon Chapter will be
ready to take in more new members
Prospects are that the chapter will
be one of the most thriving institu-
tions in the state.

MOVIE SHOW WILL RUN
Special Meeting Of the City Council
Monday to Hear Protest from
the Ministers.

Audubon churches are presenting
a united front against Sunday NOV
les and are out to stop them IL they
can. The ministers representing
each OF the protestant congrega-
lions in the city appealed to the city
council at special meeting last
Monday night to provide an ordi-
nance prohibiting the showing OF
pictures on Sunday nights. Their
action follows the announcement Of
the management of the Crescent
theatre that they will open on Sun
opened their doors for the past two
Sunday nights and announced to the
ministers that they will continue to
do so.
The council has taken no action
on the request of the ministers, and
Mayor Hawks stated Tuesday that
he did not know whether they win
do so. There is nothing in the ordi-
nance governing the operation of
moving picture shows that would
prohibit their opening and 1t would
be necessary for the council to pass
an ordinance denying them the priv
ilege. II the council takes no action
II viii mean that the show Is free to
open.
The committee which appeared
before the council based their re-
quest on the claim that Sunday pic
ture shows are in direct opposition
to the churches and constitutes a
moral let-down for the town.
Dan Nelson. proprietor of the
theatre, has stated that he has start
ed Sunday shows largely because
the attendance at the week day
shows Is so small that he is having
difficulty in meeting his overhead
expenses. There are people, he
states, who have asked for Sunday
shows and the sentiment is by no
means unanimous against Sunday
In the meantime the fate of Sun
day movies remains in the hands Of
the city council.

During the past two weeks the
barberry eradication campaign in
Audubon county. which is being car
ried on by the U. S. Department of
of Agriculture has been progressing
rapidly, and at the present time one
half of the county is surveyed.
There have been $50 common bar

bushes were found on the farms Of
Chas. Allen, l.. w. Barger and Rob-
ert Fry. Enough of the shrub has
already been founc 70 spread the
black stem rust into all the wheat,
oats and barley fields in the coun-
ty. This campaign is not simply an
experiment, but it is proven fact
that barberry spreads black stem

the farmer, and the men in the gov
eminent employ will appreciate your
sincere cooperation in making the
campaign a success.

POULTRY HOUSES MERGE

A deal was made yesterday where
by P. A. Sampson sold his poultry
and cream business to Frank Hud-
speth, C. b. PARROT and John Par
rott, thereby consolidating three
stations in to one. Mr.. PARROT
took charge Of the Swift & Co. sta
tion about a month-ago, while Mr..
Hudspeth started his station in the
basement under Curriers' harness
shop about the same time. The
field was so split up that Il was a
difficult matter for any of them to
make any money. Mr.. Hudspeth
and the PARROTS have had a great
deal of experience in the business
and will no doubt enjoy good bus
mess. The men will be in position
to give the people of the communi-
ty the very best of service.
Mr.. Sampson has not decided
what he will do in the future. Mr..
Kline, who has been with him, will
no doubt remain with the new firm,
which will be known as the Audu-
bon Produce Co

In Company With His Brother, He
Was Driving Sord Car to
Sunday School.

Alvin Sorensen, the eleven-year-
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. S. G.. Soren-
sen, residing southeast of Extra, was

the overurning of a Ford car in
which he was riding with his broth
er Raymond, aged fourteen years.
The boys we're on their way to the
Edwards school house to attend
Sunday school. The road they were
travelling was not used very much.
When they reached a point in
the road near the Wilson PARROT
farm, six miles southeast of Extra,
the tire on the front wheel of the
car blew out, and in attempting to
keep the car from going into small
ditch on one side of the road, young
Sorensen gave the steering wheel
quick turn He turned too sud
denly, for the car ran into a ditch
on the opposite side of the road,
turning over completely, the back
seat striking him squarely in the
face. It is reported that the boy
called for help. but before any help
could reach the scene of the acct
dent the boy was strangled to death.
His brother was powerless to help.
Their parents were not at home,
they being at Oakfield visiting with
friends.

nounced death due to accident.
This he communicated to the county
coroner, who under the circum-
stances deemed it unnecessary to
hold a roronar,s in0uaat

were badly crushed from the weight
OF the car.

WILL BENEFIT FARMERS
Green Says New Tariff Bill Cannot
Help but Be Of Benefit to
Agriculturalists.

1.-THE persistent misstatements on
the pending tariff bill have given
rise 20 a misapprehension of it's pro-
visions in many quarters" says Con-
gresham w. r. Green in an inter-
view.
Instead of the rates being higher
than the Payne bill they average
lower and the free list in the bill,
as introduced, is very much more
extended than it was in the Payne
bill. The wool schedule was re-
drafted on the plan rnat eliminated
the concealed duties in favor of the
manufacturer, which were contain
ed in che Payne bill, while the pro-
lection to the farmer on his wool is
somewhat higher that was given an
der the Payne bill On the great
bulk of clothing woods the undue
protection given the manufacturer
has been eliminated so that the total
duties to be paid on the cloth are
less than they were under the Payne
bill
1.-THE committee Of the whole
house decided to put duty on hides
and after so doing put a small COM
pensatory duty on boots and shoes
and leather goods; but the farmer
will get free lumber and free barbed
wire, which were dutlable under the
Payne bill. There can be no ques-
ton but that the bill is more favor
able to the farmer than any other
protective measure that has even
been introduced. There is pro-
vision with reference to lumber that
il the Canadians reIuse to take off
their duty on tongued and grooved
boards the president may apply the
same duty that Canada imposes.
doubt whether Canada will keep the
duty on but in any event no tongued
and grooved lumber ever comes
from Canada into IOWA or ever
will"
Congressman Green has been ex-
ceptionally busy ever since congress
convened. His membership ON two
of the most important committees is
keeping him so busy that it will be
impossible for him to visit his old
time Audubon friends this summer,
and il may be late in the fall before
he is able to leave Washington at
all. Audubon people are greatly in
terested in the constructive work he
has been engaged in since the new
administration has been in power.

REWARD NOT FOR oFFIcERs

Rewards offered for the appre-
hension of criminals are not for the
peace officers, according to a decis-
ion of the state supreme court. Il
it held that there are certain rules
of law which prevent an officer,
however deserving, from deriving
benefits from a reward offered for
service which he is obliged to per-
form as an officer Of the law. The
court held that an officer is charg-
ed with the duty to arrest law
violators and to do all within his
power to bring them to justice. For
all such service rendered by him
and all expenses incurred by him
under the law. the statute provides
he shall receive compensation from
the county.
