CLAIMS HE is NOT GUILTY.

About ten days ago word reached
Audubon that vern Swezey had got
ten into some kind of trouble. There
were so many conflicting stories that
we refrained from publishing them
until some authentic information
was at hand. One of the Mason
City papers of recent date contained
the following:
According to information receiv-
ed today from county officials vern
Swezey of Clear Lake is charged
with the larceny of a tire from a
Firestone company truck at Clear
Lake last May. He has been bound
over to the district court to await
the action of the grand jury. In
the interim he is out on $500 bonds,
signed by w. G. c. Bagly and Swez-
ey's father. This latter information
comes from the justice himself.
Swezey denies having stolen the
tire and claims he will prove in court
next September that two other men
are guilty. Officials state they have
a good case against Swezey. (. Swezey
has been up in court before. ]. q.
williams has been retained as Swez-
ey's legal counsel. Swezey's former
home was at Audubon"

WOMAN STAYS TO THE LAST

The following news item coming
from Hamburg, Iowa. is of interest
to Audubon inasmuch as the lady
referred to is known here as well as
her husband, who lived here while
his father was pastor of the Audu-
bon Methodist church several years
ago:
MRS Stanley Walburn. daughter
in-law of Mr.. and Mrs. A. A. Wal
burn, was in grave danger during
the flood at Pueblo, an account of
which is reprinted from the daily
paper of that place. as follows:
Mrs. Maud Walburn was nursing
a mother and young babe on w.
Fifth when the flood struck. She
was warned to flee but refused to do
so until the woman and baby could
be made safe. A car was sent, but
the flood beat 1t to the house. Then
a boat arrived, and Mrs. Walburn
helped the woman and baby out OF
the top window into the boat. She
refused to get into the boat as the
load would be too heavy. Before
the boat returned for her the flood
had reached the ceiling. Mrs. Wal
burn forced hole through the cell
ing, and from the attic got onto the
roof. From that position she was
rescued"

INVEST AT THE POST OFFICE

On June 18th s42,000,000 was
paid to holders of the First Liberty
Bonds and Victory Notes in the
Seventh Federal Reserve District.
This is the semi-annual interest due
on the two issues, of which s1,129,-
242,50o worth was subscribed for
in this district. Holders of large
blocks of these securities are taking
advantage of the low market rate on
Liberty Bonds and purchasing more
of the Government Bonds with their
interest coupons. Every coupon
clipper has the same opportunity.
Even the holder of a $50 or 800
Bond, Treasury officials point out,
need not be deprived OF an oppor-
tunity to let their interest money
make money for them. Postmaster
X. Mcclure announces that coupons
will be accepted as cash at the Post
office in payment for Treasury Saw
ings securities which are issued in
denominations OF from rs cents to
$1,000. The SIS Stamp and the s25,
500 and $1,000 Certificates yield
40 compounded quarterly. Thous-
ands of Liberty Bond holders are
converting their interest coupons in
to Treasury Savings securities twice
a year. realizing that It is the safest
investment In the world.

ASK FOR REDUCTION
in FREIGHT RATES
GOV. KENDALL WRITES WASH.
INGTON RATE MUST BE LOW
Erred TO HELP FARMER.

Gov. N. q. Kendall has started a
movement to bring about reduc-
tion in freight rates on farm pro-
ducts and live stock.
Unless this can be accomplished
the governor is of the opinion that
the state faces a sorry future with
farmers unable to realize the cost OF
production on their products.
The governor is enlisting the CO.
operation OF the Iowa delegation in
congress, the state railroad commits
sion and other agencies which are in
a position to help.
In a letter addressed to Senator
Cummins, the states chief executive
delares that unless substantial re-
lief is afforded ''the political revolu-
ton of 1920 will be remembered as
gentle zephyr compared to the
sweeping tornado which will occur
in 1922"
When an Iowa farmer ships three
carloads of corn from his local sta
tion to tide water, two carloads are
exhausted in payment of carriage, .
points out the governor.
1.-THE average train crew now
transports more than three times the
tonnage on each trip that the aver
age train crew transported five
years ago. Very recently reduc-
tion of IL per cent in the compen-
sation of railway employees was ord
cred by the federal authorities.
"In these circumstances is there
any reason in the world why freight
rates on food commodities produced
in the Mississippi valley should not
be radically reduced?" asks the gov
ernor.
The governor declares that wher-
ever he goes in his trips over the
state he finds the same condition,
great dissatisfaction with existing
conditions.
In the opinion of Governor Ken
dali, farming cannot be profitable
with freight rates as high as they
now are and with the other condl-
tions prevailing, and fears that even
this years crop will not prove profit
able, although the cost of produce
ton has been lowered considerably
as compared with last year.
There is still large amount OF
last years corn on hands with a
prospect for a big crop for this year.
1t has not been profitable for farm
ers to feed because of the high cost
of shipping. It is a serious stu
alton and should be remedied.

MAN CONSCIENCE STRICKEN

County Treasurer d. L. Freeman
received a letter last Thursday, uR-
der postmark of Coon Rapids, which
contained $50 In currency. A short
note read as follows: please put
this money in the county treasury TO
pay my taxes. The assessor did not
come to my place."
In an interview with Mr.. Free
man he said he would be only too
glad to give him credit for the re-
mittance, but he was ut loss to
know whom TO credit. as the sender
had failed to sign his name to the
letter. or to state where his prop
erty was located.
Under the circumstances the
amount will be placed in the general
fund instead of credited to che town
ship where the taxable property is
located. The sender must have been
conscience stricken and desired to
pay his obligation without being
known in the transaction.

COUNTY OFFICERS
AFTER BOOZE STILL
SHERIFF LOCATED BARREL OF
MASH BUT WAS UNABLE
TO FIND THE STILL.

Sheriff Andrew Jorgensen and his
deputy, J. c. Boyer, were out in vi
ola township last Thursday on a
still hunt. It had been reported to
them that booze" was being man
ufactured in section 4, on a farm
being occupied by man named
Curry.
The county officials made thor
ough search OF the premises. They
found many evidences of a still, but
did not find the apparatus itself.
They did, however, find barrel OF
mash about 40 rods from the house.
No arrests were made, owing to the
fact that there was not sufficient
evidence to convict. The copper
boiler, the key and other articles
necessary in making booze were
found on the place, but the worm.
lid and other appurtenances neces-
sary to constitute a still were miss
ing.
Whether or not Curry was guilty
of the offense is not known, but
there is evidence to substantiate the
claim that booze had been made on
the place. Curry moved onto the
farm about three years ago, coming
here from Jasper county. Not much
is known Of him. He has two sons
who farm on adjoining farms.
The county officials are doing
their duty in attempting to appre-
bend the Illegal manufacturers OF
liquor, and IL there are any in Au-
dubon county, they may rest assur-
ed that the law will be invoked to
bring them to Justice.

MANY PAYING DELINQUENT TAX

Many automobiles have been sold
by county sheriffs in recent weeks
under the Iowa automobile law
which requires these county officers
to sell cars on which license fees
are delinquent.
Although the new automobile law
passed by the Thirty-eighth general
assembly at its sessions in 1919
went into effect In December, 1919,
when the 1920 registrations were
made. the provisions authorizing tho
sheriff to take over cars for delin-
quent fees did not become operative
until May Of this year Delinquent
ciee in the 1922 registrations will be
collectable through seizure by the
sheriff in May, 1922, and each year.
beginning with this year. the county
treasurer must advertise in May and
che sheriff collect these fees.
In practically, every county in the
state there was a considerable list
of cars advertised in May this year
by the county treasurers but accord
ing to reports received by the state
automobile department a consider
able per cent of the owners appeared
at the county treasurers office
following the advertisement and
paid up.
The state automobile law has In
fact a considerable number of teeth
devoted to the collection of fees and
now that the law appears to be func-
tioning well throughout the state II
is reported that comparatively few
owners have escaped paying their
annual license fees. In fact IL the
owner removes from one county to
another without having notified the
county treasurer in his home county
of his removal the sheriff in the de-
linquent owners home county can
forward warrant to the sheriff OF
the county In which the delinquent
owner is living and thus collect the
fees.
For the year, 1920, the state de-
partment collected more than ST.
100000 in automobile licenses and
delinquent fees and the amount in
delinquencies was larger than in any
previous year.

POULTRY CULLING CAMPAIGN

Starting in the early part of July
and continuing to the first of Aug
ust, there will be culling campaign
in Audubon County. Practically
every day during this time there
will be four culling demonstrations
going on In order that all may
have an opportunity OF attending,
the demonstrations have been dis
tributed as evenly as possible over
the country.
The object of these demonstra-
tions is to bring yout in as clear
and practical way as possible, the
most important points in culling so
those attending will be able to go
home and Gull their own flocks.
There will be some time spent on
diseases of poultry at these culling
demonstrations and IL possible there
will be post-mortem autopsy. Last
year in the state 5s.4 per cent of all
flocks were diseased and ALL per
cent OF all the fiocks showed in
dications of tuberculosis.
Summary of Culling Campaign
One Of the prominent features of
the culling work was the fact that
the results were so clearly evident
in short period of time. From all
of the available data compiled
through the reports of the campaign
the increase in egg production was
manifested in various degrees: in
creases were noted to be from 2 to
AZ per cent or an average for thirty
four counties was 25To to 3S% or
an average increase of 1879 after
removing an average OF 36.49o of
the birds as culls,
The total number Of birds re-
corded as being culled from all the
reports available to the department
was 100000 birds from this num-
Der approximately 36.3% were Gull
ed. This saving in feed cost and
the fact that a large per cent OF
these birds were sold at a season
when they brought high prices
meant very large financial return
to the producer in every part of the
state. Another significant feature
of the culling work is the benefit
that will be derived from this work
in the next few years, it is a fun
damental step in the right direction
to build up strong healthy flock
of hens that will produce profit
able return ON the investment.
