AUDUBON MAY HAVE
NATIONAL GUARD UNIT
MATTER TAKEN UP AT COM
MUNITY CLUB MEETING ON
MONDAY NIGHT

The matter of securing a unit of
the National Guard in Audubon was
taken up at the monthly meeting of
the Audubon Community Club last
Monday night. Col. Brewer, of Des
Moines. was here to address the
meeting and to set the matter be-
fore the people of the community.
Col. Brewer is veteran of the
spanish-American ana World wars.
He served with distinction in
France. An Audubon boy, Kit G.
Lane, was his runner during the
late war. He is one of the highly
honored men of the 16Sth Iowa and
made a very intelligent talk before
the Club.
About forty members were pres
ent at the meeting and everyone ex-
pressed his opinion that Audubon
would be glad to have the unit or
ganized. This unit will consist of
an officer and Al men. The govern
ment has an investment of practi-
cally $4,000 and of course It is
necessary to have the right kind of
a man for the head officer to whom
this government property is entrust-
ed.
About the only thing in the way
of taking immediate action was the
lack of a proper building 70 ne used
for the company. The old opera
house could be used for an armory
for the present, but owing to the
large iron posts running through the
center of the room, it could not be
used permanently. y committee
was appointed comprising George
Carter, p. A. Rasmussen and Frank
Lane to investigate che building SIT
uation. II was found that the op-
era house building could be secured
for temporary use and IL might be
possible to remodel the building so
that Il could be used permanently.
Another matter investigated was the
plan of erecting a large community
building which could also be used
as an armory. The government will
rent building, paying therefor
from $1,000 to s14ou year. In ad-
dition to this the men will be paid
salary so that all in all several
thousand dollars will be paid into
the community. The Adjutant-Gen-
eral has held the matter up for a
week to see II proper arrangements
can be made for building. In case
the matter cannot be satisfactorily
arranged Audubon will not get the
unit and the offer will be made to
some other town.
The matter of hiring leader for
the band was also taken up at the
meeting. 1t was finally disposed of
by entering into a contract for a
period of seven months at S125 a
month. While the Club enters into
the contract with Mr.. Vecchi, of Des
Moines, the funds will pc raised by
popular subscription TO meet the ex-
pense.
The usual routine Of business was
transacted.

high class music in a most artistic
manner. Miss Schmidt is a credit
to this community and has develop
ed musical enthusiasm that is I'M
precedented. Annis Ashby was more
popular than ever in her character

To PROTECT THE CHILDREN
New Plan Recently Adopted Proving
Popular with the People
of Iowa.

Paul s. Viewer, home office rep
resentative of the Des Moines Life
and Annuity Co., is in the city this
week in the interest of his company.
Mr.. Viewer called az our office and
stated: at should be the desire of
every parent to give his or her child
an absolute guaranteed start in
life in the way of a higher educa-
ton, a start in business or the pur-
chase of a home. In other words, to
give their children a chance many
OF them never had. Our company
has recently adopted plan of issu-
ing an old-line 20-year Educational
Savings Endowment on children,
from a babe in arms up, which gives
them an absolute guaranteed start
in young man or womanhood, with
three optional settlements at ma
turity, which create from approx
mately two to four dollars for each
dollar saved for them. Recently we
have adopted a plan of insuring the
father orsmother. or beneficiary who
is the earning power in the family
in connection with this policy on the
child, by which, in event beneficiary
dies, the policy pays up in full to the
child. This latter plan rs a gold
bond on the savings endowment for
the future of e child, and the par
ents when they adopt same, have
the satisfaction or knowing their
children will have guaranteed
estate to the extent of the amount
they take on their children, wheth-
err the beneficiary lives or dies. The
financial condition of no parent to-
day is a guarantee of the same con-
dition twenty years hence, and it is
the duty of every thinking parent to
give their child or children a chance
for a start in life that many of them
never had"
Mr.. Viewer was for many years
connected with the Passenger Traf-
fic department of the Rock Island
lines, is a man of wide experience,
and holds many splendid endorse
ments Of thepsolidity OF MS Child's
Educational Endowment Savings
plan. After going over tne plan
with him, we heartily recommend
the same to every thinking parent.
It's adoption means everything to
the coming generations. Educa-
ton, thrift, higher moral standards
and success.

COMMUNITY SALES
TO BE WINNER
PEOPLE OF THE VICINITY ARE
ANTICIPATING THE MANY
BARGAINS OFFERED

The people of Audubon and vi
entity are anticipating with much
eagerness the Community Days sale

Saturday. Some so merchants Of
Audubon have combined their eff
forts to offer some exceptional bar
gains on these two days. Their bar

merchants anticipate, the feature
will be made a permanent monthly
affair. A committee was appointed
at the meeting of the Community
Club on Monday evening. who will
have charge of the matter from now
on.
These sales have proven big az
fairs in something like 40 towns in
the state. In many towns the crowds
have been much larger than at 4th
Of July celebrations, or the big days
VI tue COUNTY lar. lHeTe Is no TSd-
son why Audubon merchants should
not do a big business Friday and
Saturday, providing the weather is
favorable.
The people of the vicinity are
looking for bargains these days and
certainly no better bargains could
be offered than are being offered by
the Audubon merchants at this time
In order 20 make the Community
Days a success il is necessary to
have the cooperation of all the bus
mess men, as we'll as all of the peo-
pie of the vicinity. We believe all
are ready for this cooperation. Let

NEW BANDMAsTER HIRED
Well-Known Dies Moines Musician
to Lead Audubon Band for
Summer Months

John Vecchi, director, composer
and instructor for all kinds OF band
instruments, of Des Moines, has
been hired by the Community Club
to lead the Audubon band for a per-
iod of seven months.
Mr.. Vecchi is graduate Oh Flor
ence. Torino, Perugia, and has been
instructor in Drake conservatory OF
music. He came to Audubon last
week on solicitation OF local band
members. After a consultation he
was asked to lead the band at a re-
hearsal on Thursday evening of last
week. His exceptional, ability as a
band leader was at once recognized
and immediate steps were taken to
secure his services for the season.
The matter was taken up with the
Community Club, which resulted in
the signing of a CONTRACT which call
ed for seven months service at
S125 per month. Mr.. Vecchi is to
direct the band during the concert
season as we'll as to direct them at
two rehearsals each week. In addi-
tion to this he is to give the mem
bers of the band private instruction
free of charge. He will also start a
new band from which players will
be taken to recruit the older band.
Boys from eleven years up who de-
sire to become members OF the new
band are requested 20 see o. X.
Purdy, who has that matter in
hand.
Audubon is indeed fortunate in
securing the services or such a
splendid leader. We have for years
had an excellent band, but a COM
petent leader was lacking. Under
the direction OF Mr.. Vecchi we may
reasonably expect to have one Of
the best organizations in the state.

of Iowa get bonus of SIS a month
for each man for. time served, not
exceeding $3.50 a man, is to be left

PLAYS WELL ATTENDED
Large Crowds Greet Home Talent
Players in American Legion
Benefit

A home talent play, Johnny Get
Your Gun" was presented at the
high school auditorium on the ev-
enings of March 4th and 5th. Large
crowds attended both performances.
The plays were cleverly written up
for last weeks edition or the Re-
publican but for some unaccounta-
BILE reason the copy did not reach
the composing room. The lost ar
ticle was not discovered until the
last forms of the paper had gone to
press, and IL was too late 10 make
any mention of it, We regret that
this should have occurred, for the
play was deserving of special men
ton.
The opening chorus was sung by
Mrs. DR.. Hart and bevy of pretty
high school girls and was we'll rem
dere6. The second number was by
Miss Olga Baker and chorus, which
was also we'll received. Specialties
between acts were presented by the
boys high school male quartet, Lee.
ona Baker, Miss Cunningham, Earl
Garroutte and Mr.. Heating.
The leading character Of the play
was one Johnny Dawson, who was
impersonated by Harry NJ. Clark.
other members of the cast were
Kit c. Lane, Glenn turner, Doc
McGinnis, L. L. Ryan, Helen Pres
ton, Hazel Mclaughlin and Marion
Bagley. The parts were all clev-
erly played and taking the perform
ance as a whole, was well received
by the large audiences both nights.
The performance was given for
the benefit of the American Legion
Post. Mr.. Heating and Miss Book
man directed the entire affair and
took for their compensation a per-
centage of the receipts.

CADDOCK TEMPORARILY BLIND
EarI raddock fnrmar haavy-


weight wrestling champion, is suf-
fering with temporary blindness in
his right eye. He denies. however,
the rumor that Stranger Lewis
deadlock was the cause of the in
jury.
Friends of the worlds light hevy-
weight wrestler will be sorry to
learn of Caddock's afflicJion, even
though it may be but temporary.
Many local followers OF the mat
game declare that they would not
be surprised il il should be found
that the punishment received by
Caddock at the hands of Lewis had
something to do with the affection
of his eye. They recall that Stech-
err is just recovering the use of his
arm, which was injured in his bout
with the present heavyweight cham
pion.

CHAMP CLARK

The nation is poorer for the de-
parture of Champ Clark. He had
served it long and faithfully. In his
many good deeds he was Jealous, res
olute and unselfish. ne was a par
tisan, yet still more was he patriot.
Neither in private nor in public
life were the bounds or democracy to
constarain him. Some of his fore
most political antagonists were his
closest personal friends; and more
casions he manifested his preference
for the leadership of a republican
rather than of democrat-even for
that of Theodore Roosevelt rather
than that of Woodrow Wilson.
He was a good hater, such as Sam
uel Johnson liked; ana ne was a
loyal friend. But his hatreds were
directed against principles and acts,
not against personalities. He cher
ished a laudable ambition for the
presidency, without undue conceit
esteeming himself competent to fill
the place, and he was frankly disap-
pointed when those upon whose sup
port he was warranted in depending
deserted 4 and defeated him on
grounds which were entirely unsub-
stantial. But his personal disap-
pointment did not abate his party
loyalty or his patriotic devotion; nor
did it freeze the genial current of his
soul.
In all the contradictory phases of
his long and distinguished career, he
was intellectually and morally, as he
was physically rugged, robust, full
sized American whose services great
ly benefited the che nation. The
nation and the world are better for
his having lived, and are the poorer
for his death. His party, s orely
stricken and greatly needing such
leadership as his, is much bereft.
The whole nation could better have
lost many others than this honest,
stalwart man.
