w. r.. C's GIVE PROGRAM

The ladies or the Allison w. X. T..
gave a slendid entertainment and
luncheon at the X. OF p. hall in this
city last Saturday afternoon. Those
present were the old soldiers, their
wives and the members of the corps.
The occasion was the commemor-
alton of the births of three Of our
beloved presidents who by their
deeds and actions stand out promi-
nently in the history of our country.
The meeting was called TO order by
the corps president, Mrs. H. G. Rice
and after the flag salute was given

patriotic instructors, Mrs. j. r..

er which musical selections were
furnished by twelve young ladies of

on President Mckinley, and his pub
lie life, and recalled many incidents
that were fresh in the minds of the
veterans. Rev. Shenton followed
with talk on the life of President
Lincoln and his ancestors. This be-
ing the date of Lincoln's birthday
gave the speaker a splendid oppor-
tunity of enlarging on the many
splendid qualities of the man who
was loved by all veterans of the Civil
war, as we'll as the younger genera
ton who have learned of Lincoln in
history. Rev. Shenton's talk was
highly appreciated Father Costello

on the life of George Washington.
He found there were many virtues
recorded in history regarding our
first president and the speakers re-
marks were well received. This was
followed by talk from Rev. Fuller,
who made very complimentary re-
marks regarding the work of the w.
r. G. The program closed with read
ings by Grace Mclaughlin and Mary
Johnson.
After the program fine luncheon
was served to the old soldiers, their
wives. corps members and their
friends, which was one of the SPLEEN

while Mrs. Henry Turner and Mrs.
Kopp had charge of the kitchen.

FARMERS TO FEED CORN

Rather than sell their corn to ell
evators at about 40 cents a bushel,
farmers in the corn belt have decid-
ed to feed their immense corn crops
to live stock.
1--WE canont afford to haul corn to
town and sell it for 40 cents bush
ell" said a prominent farmer. "Our
corn crop was an extraordinary
heavy one last year and as long as
the price is as low as ii now there
ought to be a profit in fattening
hogs and cattle"
with labor back to pre-war prices
and farm implements declining in
cost, the future outlook seems some
brighter for che farmer"
He expressed the opinion that the
farmers were regaining confidence
and that there would be an upward
climb in the production of cattle and
hogs and that the farmers would
pay more attention to raising pure
bred live stock.
''Most of us in my neighborhood,"
said he, ''are beginning to see a
brighter side to farming and are
trying to forget the losses we suf-
fered last spring and this winter"

FAIR ATTRACTIONS SECURED

Inc directors OF the AUDUBON
county fair association, together
with the president and r. ID. Hawks,
secretary, met last Friday and con-
tracted for the special attractions to
be presented at the fair next Septem-
Der. Among the free attractions are
Will Harris Beauty Parade of 1921.
composed of twelve people; The
Great Vulcano, the marvel of the
world; The Dancing Bells, and San
kus & Sylvers, comedians. This is
only part of the free attractions
that will be offered this year.
The directors decided to make a
change in the night shows for this
year. Instead of having the fire
works there will be presented one of
the best shows on the road by the
Harris Beauties. This company will
give 40-minute performance in the
evenings, with change of program
every night. The expense of this
show is much greater than the fire
works display but the directors were
of the opinion that the change would
be welcomed by the fair patrons.
From all indications we may reas-
onably expect the greatest program
this year that the fair association
has ever produced.

AUDUBON, OUR COUNTY SEAT
BY Emil Nelson, Audubon, Iowa y

Dy Dnhi ANCiooh, auuuDou, ioWd
What better PLACE could well be
Than Audubon, your own home
town?
For Audubon with modest fame
On the map has got its name:
And, people, you did right indeed.
When you made it county seat.
This is a fact no one should fail,
That with a court house and a Jail,
Audubon, within the law,
Is right there with it's claw;
That criminals and others such
Always may respect our Judge.
And Audubon can show some graces
When IL comes to public places.
For in the park there is a stand
All reserved just for the band;
And music Is no simple treat
In Audubon, our county seat.
And because we are a nation
Who believes in education,
Audubon Is proving wise.
II keeps a school beyond its size.
This js one feature grand indeed,
In Audubon, our county seat.
And Of those children, we can boast.
For OF them there Is host,
Who would stop at nothing less
Than see this country make progress.
And Audubon. you bet your treat,
II hard to beat as county seat.

The Community Club of Audubon
is contributing a certain sum each
year for the support of a war orphan

two years ago, and at a recent meet
ing OF the Club it was decided to
send the third installment to the
child for its support the coming year.
The child is evidently bright
youngster and writes to Mr.. and Mrs.

once a month. In addition to the
amount sent by the Club, Mr.. Adams
sends her additional funds on the
occasion of her birthday and at
Christmas time. Following is the

FARM BUREAU DIRECTORS
PASS RESOLUTIONS

At recent meeting of the direct
ors of the Audubon Farm Bureau
the following resolutions were pass
ed:
THAT 1T BE ADVISABLE TO RE-
DUCE THE CORN ACREAGE TO a
NORMAL BASIS AND MORE LAND
BE PUT INTO A LEGUME CROP.
During the war period the farmer
responded to the cry of more food
and plowed up his grass land in or
der to increase the acreage of grain.
Following the war, with high prices
crop in order to be of immediate
financial benefit to the farmer. Also
a great deal of land was left in grain
on account of the failure to get
stand of clover during the last few
years.
Statistics show that we have not
decreased in acreage a great deal,
and in 1920 had next to the highest
acreage ever planted with 46 bushels
per acre average or the highest on
record. The farmer has not only this
great crop on hand but up to the
present he is without market for it.
With these different things in view,
it will surely seem advisable to get
our farms down to the normal corn
acreage. In doing this there should
be enough corn on hand for the COM
ing year to take care of good de-
crease in the yield and also the de-
crease in acreage in getting it back
to the normal acreage.
The resolution recommends to get
mi land ho 81 10 81 This In
deed is a sensible suggestion. The
farmer has plowed the hay land I'M
der in the past years and reseeding
this land is surely the logical thing
to do, not only from the standpoint
Of our corn acreage but from the
standpoint of soil fertility. The full
value of clover in crop rotation has
never been appreciated by the farm
ers of Iowa and sometimes one might
be led TO believe that some would
never see the value OF clover until
some of our soil reaches the depleted
state that our eastern soils have.
The fact that 1t Is somewhat an in
visible action, makes IL beyond the
apprehension of many of US. Large
acreages owned by landlords who
have no regard for soil fertility and
the one year lease causing tenant
to get every dollar out of the soil
possible, has caused no minor part in
the decreased grass land Of Iowa.
This year with clover seed selling
around $500 to $500 per bushel
seems cheap especially when compar-
ed with the prices a year ago. 1t
looks as If farmers would buy freely.
Idaho has large crop of clover seed
on hand. They have at present a
large per cent OF their crop on hand
and have sold their first part of the
crop for around $4,000 per hundred.
II you can judge the popularity of
the different legumes by the extent
they are grown in Iowa, red clover
is still in first place. Perhaps 1t is
for the reason that red clover may be
grown on soil which is little acid
and yet is too acid for alfalfa. AL
falfa out-yields the clover and is
better feed, while red clover may be
grown where the soil is slightly acid.
There is plenty of proof to show that
a lining would be beneficial.
