OIL FOUND IN ABUNDANCE

The Republican is in receipt or
newsy letter from John T. Sampson
at Moore, Mont. In making a re-
mittance for another years subscrip-
ton, among other things, he says:
1--WE enjoy the Republicans visits
and take pleasure in the news from
our home county. Spring is here
and we are busy blowing and seed
ing. We are getting a good amount
of moisture, mostly snow. Have had
a mild, open winter, and January
was the only month that We didn't
pillow, and some seeding was done
late in February and early in March.
Crops were good here last year and
conditions are very favorable for the
coming year. Oil is being found in
our county and many wells are good
producers. Whole trainloads of tank
cars go by, every day to the refiner-
les at Casper, Wyoming. Nearly all
lands south and east of Moore are
under lease for oil rights, including
ours, and a test we'll will be drilled
soon. The only way we'll get cheap
err gas is to have a well of our own.
We are paying 35c to 40c gallon
for gas, and crude oil is bringing
-$1.75 per barrel"

CHANGE IN BUSINESS FIRM

A change in the business firm of
Kraft-Farr took place the fore part
of the week, when the interest in
the clothing store of Earl Farr was
sold to l.. M. Lucas, of Spirit Lake.
The firm hereafter is to be known
as the Kraft Clothing Co. Mr.. Farr
purchased an interest in one of the
Kraft stores at Dubuque last fall,
and has since then been the man
ager. On his leaving Audubon, j..
w. Budd was made manager of the
store here. He continued in that
capacity until the present time when
Mr.. Lucas purchased Mr.. Fairs in
terest.
Mr.. Lucas has been connected
with one of the Kraft stores at Spir-
it Lake for several years past land
comes highly recommended as a
clothing salesman and business
man. He is man of family and
will move to Audubon as soon as he
can find suitable residence property.
We welcome him to the city and
hope that his stay among us will be
profitable and pleasant. There will
be no material change in the work
ing force at the store, Mr.. Budd and
Mr.. Evans both retaining their po-
sitions.

Mary Petersen, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Lauritz Petersen, of Douglas
township, to Mr.. Eli Nelson Schmidt,

ity. They come from two splendid
families and start out in life under
most suspicious circumstances. They
will go to housekeeping on the farm
of the groom's father, three miles

unites with a large circle of friends
in extending congratulations and
best wishes for happy voyage on

CELEBRATE ANNIVERSARY

A company of some twenty or
more friends of Mr.. and Mrs. A. S.
Lupton gathered at their home on
First Avenue last Thursday evening
to remind them of their wedding an
niversary. The pleasant affair was
in the nature of surprise, so the
guests brought with them well-filled
baskets from which an appetizing
was served later in the evening. The
intruders gathered at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. F. A. Johnson and
went to the Lupton home in a body,
where they found both Mr.. and Mrs.
Lupton busily engaged in their home
and entirely unmindful OF what had
been planned.
They soon Joined heartily in max
ing their guests feel at home. Som
erset was the diversion of the even
ing.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lupton came to Au-
dubon last fall and since their res
ldence here have made many close
personal friends. They are closely
identified with all departments Of
church work and are always found
at their post of duty at the Method
list Episcopal church, where they
have their membership.
AT a late hour the guests depart
ed for their homes, wishing Mr.. and
Mrs. Lupton many more such de-
lightful occasions.

COMMUNITY SALE
IS NEXT WEEK
FIRST SALE PROVED SUCH Sue
CESS, MERCHANTS DECIDE
TO HOLD ANOTHER ONE

The second Community Sale by
the merchants of Audubon will be
held ON Wednesday of next week.
The first sale was inaugurated about
the middle of March. At that time
the sale was conducted on two days,
Friday and Saturday. On account
of so much business usually coming
on Saturday, it was decided to hold
this sale on Wednesday in order to
relieve the congestion that usually
obtains on Saturdays.
There are fifty merchants who are
offering some exceptional bargains
for that day. Last month the bar
gains offered were of exceptional
merit and those offering the best
bargains reaped the greatest results.
The list of bargains advertised in
today's Republican are better on the
whole than those of a month ago.
We urge our readers to take advan
tage of these bargains. 1t will prove
to the merchants that the people de-
sire to unite in bringing down the
high cost of living whenever posi-
BILE.
The bargains offered cannot be
duplicated elsewhere and the special
prices have been made on articles of
everyday use. Let's make this COM
munity affair a success in. every de-
tail, so that it can be continued
from month to month.

GOVERNOR SIGNS BILL

Governor Kendall Monday signed
the cigaret bill, passed during the
last week of the legislative session,
which he was asked to veto by w.
G. T. U. workers and other oppon-
ents of the bill. The bill carries no
clause so that the law
will not go into effect until July 4.
The Governor issued statement
Analysing the new statute and Civ
ing his position on the matter. He
points out that the sale of cigarets
under this law to adults IN any COM
is entirely within the dis
erection of the citizens, inasmuch as
1t authorizes the city council to is
sue permits to dealers, and il the
people are against the sale, council
men can be elected who will refuse
permits.
He ALSO calls attention to the fact
that this bill prohibits the sale of
cigarets to minors and regulates the
business, where as the majority of
sentiment has been against observ-
ance of the law now on the statutes.

CALLS FOR AID TO
WAR VETERANS

Work for the ex-service men
whose problems have increased
rather than decreased since their
discharge is one of the big tasks en-
gaging the Red Cross in the Central
Division, according to the announce
ment of Walter Davidson, manager.
In outlining the work for chapters
in the division which was re-organ-
lied this week to include the states
of Minnesota, North and South Da-
kota, Wyoming, Montana, Nebraska,
as well as Illinois, Iowa and Wis
consfn, Mr.. Davidson places great
emphasis on this phase of Red Cross
work.
Our reports show that during
the past year there has been a mark
ed increase in the number of cases
of war veterans needing the ser
vices of the Red Gross" he states.
"Questionnaires sent out to war vet
Grams show that not only are thou
sands in need of disqualification but
that many deserving cases often fail
to receive attention through the re- ;
luctance of the men themselves to
make known their need for help.
This consolidation of chapters
in no way affects the chapter activi-
ties. They will continue to func-
ton in their various communities
along the lines in which each finds
possible the best Interpretation of
service to the people in the sur
rounding territory. Field represent
atives will continue to keep closely
in touch with the chapters and CEN
trail division headquarters here,
while the staff maintains It's laison
with the district offices or the War
Risk Insurance Bureau, Public
Health service, and Federal Board
Of Vocational Education"

PRESIDENT SPRINGS SURPRISE
Stand Taken i'm Message to Congress
Means Harmony for the New
Administration.

President Harding sprang a big
surprise in his first address to con-
gress. He did not turn his back al
together on either the Versailles
treaty or the League of Nations. He
came out fatty for amendment and
modification of the Versailles pact.
He urged its acceptance with Tex
plicit reservations and modifica-
tons" He rejected the covenant of
the existing league" but pointed
out the basis upon which America
would enter "a league" or IAN as
ISOLATION of nations"
If the European governments will
separate the league from the Yer
sailles treaty, that is, If they will
change the character of the league
so that a member of it will not be
compelled to enforce the provisions
of the treaty itself, America will
join.
This is precisely the view urged
by Herbert Hoover and outlined in
these dispatches a few weeks ago.
Just before the president read
his address to congress, the repub-
licans of the senate foreign relations
Ct inv
White House. AS they filed out
Messrs. Borah, Johnson, Brandegee,
Moses, Mccormick and others of the
so-called "irreconcilable" group ex-
pressed themselves as delighted with
the message.
That means harmony between the
legislative and executive branches
of the government and a compromise
at least between the extreme view
point held by the Wilson people and
the "bitter-ender" idea which was to
scrap the whole league and the whole
treaty.
Mr.. Harding has reverted to his
campaign pledges--he will make use
of existing machinery. He will try
to make che allies see that the high
est aims of Civilizations perma-
nent peace-can be better attained
by separating the league from the
enforcement of any treaty.
The most significant utterance in
the message the following: {:
"There can be no prosperity for
the fundamental purposes sought to
be achieved by any such association
as long as it is the organ of any
particular treaty, or committed to
the attainment of the special aims OF
any nation or group of nations"

WILL LEAVE AUDUBON SOON

]. G.. Prosser, resident manager of
the Iowa Telephone Company is TO
relinquish his position about the
first Of the month, when an auditor
of the company will check him out
aud put in a new manager.
The reason for the change Is that
Mr.. Prosser has accepted position
as assistant city engineer in Fort
Dodge at a handsome increase in
salary. The officers OF the COM
pany were reluctant about releasing
him, but inasmucn as they were I'M
able to meet the salary offered him,
they decided to accept his resigna-
ton.
Mr.. Prosser has been here about
three years and has at all times been
eager to give the patrons the very
best of service. He has that happy
faculty of knowing what to do at
the right time. The people of Au-
dubon regret to learn Of his decis-
ion to leave the city, but rejoice in
the fact that he is lettering his own
condition. The best wishes of host
of friends will follow Mr.. Prosser
and his family to Ft. Dodge.

TO GIVE YOUNG MEN TRAINING

Offering to the youth of the nation
a month of military instruction and
carefully supervised physical train
ing the War Department has prac-
tically completed plans for the
establishment this summer of a
number of Citizens Military Train
ing camps throughout the entire
country.
These camps, which are in fur
therance of the policy of volunteer
military training strongly endorsed
by President Harding, will be so APP
portioned that any man who is ELI
gible to attend them may find one
within reasonable distance of his
home. The present plan allots at
least one camp to each Corps Area.
Special emphasis will be laid by
the War Department this year on the
enrolment of candidates for the
camps giving basic training which
will be open to men up to thirty-five
years of age who have had little or
teal instruction in the field.
Attendance will be without cost to
the candidate. Upon being accepted
for enrolment he will proceed to the
camp designated and upon his arriv-
al will be reimbursed to the amount
of his travelling expenses. All in
struction will be given at perma-
nently established camps where the
candidate will find selected Regular
Army instructors prepared TO train
him in the elementary duties of a
soldier
