DIED IN THE ARMS
OF HER DAUGHTER
SUDDEN DEATH OF MRS. HENRI
ETA HECKER YESTERDAY
\ SHOCK TO COMMUNITY.

News of the death of Mrs. Henri
eta Hecker early yesterday morn
ing was a great shock to all who
heard IL, for Mrs. Hecker was one Of
the pioneers of Audubon, and was
we'll and favorably known.
Mrs. Hecker got up and ate her
breakfast as usual. Yesterday morn
ing she seemed to feel better than
she had for two weeks past. Her
son, Daniel Hecker, had just left the
house to go across the street to see
about some work, when Mrs. Hecker
remarked to her daughter Marie
Wolf, who was in the room, ooh,
feel so sick" Miss Wolf rushed to
her mothers side and as she reach
ed her, she fell into her arms. DR..
Childs was called and on examina-
ton found that Mrs. Hecker had
passed peacefully away as the result
Of heart trouble.
Mrs. Hecker was a sister Of the
late Chas. Tramp, and came to Au-
dubon soon after the town started.
She was a widow, her husband dy-
ing about four years ago. Four
children survive here, Marie Wolf,
the eldest daughter of former mar
riage; Miss Augusta Hecker, Daniel
Hecker, of this city, and son who
has been employed in bank in
Kansas City. The eldest daughter
is a teacher in the Audubon public
schools, while the younger daughter
is county superintendent of schools.
At an early hour this morning no
definite funeral arrangements had
been made, but II is thought the flu
neral will likely be held Friday aft
ernoon. We are unable to secure
an obituary this week, but this will
be given in later issue.

s4s AN ACRE FOR SWEET CORN

Julius De Bower, living two miles
west OF Belle PLANE, has for many
years raised sweet corn for the Belle
PLANE Canning Co., and this year
had 23 acres, and after the picking
season was over he found that the
canning company had paid him a lit
tie in excess of $1,000 for that %
acres, netting him better than $43
to the acre. Besides this he had the
stalks left for fodder, which he con-
siders is worth So per acre. This
gives him $4S an acre for the %
acres, and the best Of 1t was that he
received the money for his corn at
a time when Il was most useful to
him.

WOMEN TO COME
TO AUDUBON in 1922
AUDUBON GIVEN PREFERENCE
FOR DISTRICT CONVEN-
TON NEXT YEAR.

The annual convention of the
Ninth district of federated women's
clubs drew % a close in Council
Bluffs Tuesday evening, after being
attended by the largest number Of
delegates and visitors ever at con-
vention in this territory. Seventy
nine delegates were accepted by the
credentials committee, and nearly a
half hundred visitors were register
ed. In addition to these visitors,
many women of Council Bluffs went
to the sessions at the Presbyterian
church for the two days.
The closing program of the ses-
sion was featured by the selection of
Audubon as the meeting place for
the 1922 convention. On behalf of
bian club, Mrs. E. F. Bilharz, county
chairman, invited the convention to
Audubon and had to stand with her
a half dozen boosters who had come
during the forenoon to assist In Sc
curing the next convention. Mrs.
Billiards invitation was clever. She
declared, 1--WE are just old-fashioned
folks out there. We have dinner at
noon and supper in the evening, and
II 200 delegates and visitors come,
we'll have about a hostess for every
person coming. But we need you,
and We'll share our crust with you"
Guthrie Center and Woodbine
were also contenders for the honors,
but when the matter was put to a
vote Audubon won decisively.
Large delegations from both the
Woman's club and the Columbian
club were in attendance both days
and all report having had delight
full time. One of the delegates said
there were many good papers and
talks, but the one by Mrs. Clark of
Red Oak. was among the best
Mrs. Clark, in her talk, pointed
out that the women's organization
had no axes to grind, no traditions
to follow, were free in their aspira-
tions and had an organization fully
as complete as any national political
party and that their power for good
was almost unlimited. Added to
this, she said. was the disinterested-
ness manifested by the women in
their handling Of public affairs.
They are actuated in every instance
! by unselfish motives.
In proof of her statement that
everybody knows it but u.s." Mrs.
Clark pointed to the attention being
made to the women's clubs by poll
teal parties and all organizations in
which public opinion plays a part.
She gave list of the persons calling
within a few days at the headquar-
tiers of the national organization at
Washington, d. c., and called atten-
tion to numerous letters received by
every club official in the larger or
CARNATIONS by men seeking to know
what the women think" about this
or that question.
She urged the women to realize
that what they did in local way
with the home organization, they
could do in larger way through the
state and general declarations, and
outlined series Of subjects in which
she said she felt they should inter
est themselves.

GRAND JURY IN SESSION
Many Cases i'm District Court Set
tied, Others Continued, and
Jury Dismissed.

The petit jury for the October
term Of the district court has been
dismissed. Matters came u -apid
close Tuesday when several of tho
cases docketed had been dismissed
and others continued.
AS we went to press last week tho
case of Hensley & Dimicx, of Extra,
VS.. the Rock Island Railway COM
pany was being tried. After hear
ing all the evidence the jury found
for the railway company.
Peter Fredericksen won his case
in which he was made defendant by
suit filed by the Green Bay Lum-
Der Co. This suit grew out Of the
building of home which Geo. r.
Alcorn contracted to build for Mr.
Fredericksen. Mr.. Fredericksen paid
the contractor, but he in turn fail
ed to pay the lumber company. Suits
are pending against Alcorn, who
seems to have failed in business, or
at least seems to have tailed TO pay
many of his obligations.
In the case of the State of Iowa
VS.. C. j. HOFFMAN, the matter was
carried over to the December term
OF court and Mr.. HOFFMAN released
on giving sufficient bonds. The
charge was desertion. He is now
working in Clarion and has agreed
to give his wife and family $40 per
month.
On account OF insufficient evil
dence the charge of manslaughter
against r. ]. Loveland was dismiss
ed. On the charge of operating an
while in an intoxicated
condition he plead guilty and was
fined $500, which was the extreme
limit. The county attorney, L. Dee
Mallonee, is to be commended for
the manner in which this case was
handled. He is strictly enforcing
the laws on the statute books and IL
the statute had provided for $4,000
fine he would have gone the limit
Just che same. He and every other
attorney knew that 1t was impossi-
BILE to get a conviction on the man
slaughter charge.
The grand jury was recalled yes
terday and has been in session ever
since, and it is doubtful IL they win
complete their work today.

EXTRA MERCHANT
COMMITS SUICIDE
BODY FOUND In HIS HOME WITH
BULLET HOLE THROUGH
HIS HEART.

The lifeless body of Peter Hassen-
feldt was found on the floor in the
living room of his home on Main
street in Extra about 1890 Tuesday
morning. A bullet from 90 cali
bre rifle had pierced his heart. Tho
rifle was found in an adjoining
room. From all indications the act
was committed about eight o'clock
Monday evening. The telephone op-
orators say a call came from the
house about that time but no one
answered. Inasmuch as his body
was near the telephone it is thought
Mr.. Hassenfeldt went TO call for help
after committing the deed, but fell
to the floor before he got central.
The lights in the house were still
burning Tuesday morning when
Mike Larsen, a neighbor passed the
house on his way up town. He i'm
mediateIy communicated with DIR.
Jacobsen and together they went to
the house where they discovered
Hassenfeldt's lifeless body. County
coroner, F. II. McFadden, OF this
city, was called who at once empan-
eled coroner's jury composed OF A.
]. Leake, c. C. Christensen and ]. C.
johnson, all of Extra. After hearing
all of the evidence the jury brought
in a verdict that the deceased came
to his death by his own hands.
Mr.. Hassenfeldt was one OF the
most progressive merchants in Ex-
ira. He conducted a grocery and
butcher shop, and was said to be
very successful. He had been at
tending to business until Monday
afternoon when he went home and
that was the last seen of him alive.
He leaves two sisters, Mrs. Chris
Jensen and Mrs. Olson, both of Des
Moines, and one brother, Chas. Has
senfeldt, whose home is in. Mime
sofa. The deceased was, never mar
ried, but maintained a home.
Funeral services will be held at
the home this afternoon at 1 o'clock
in charge of Rev. Jensen. The re-
mains will be taken to Des Moines
for interment.

GOVERNMENT GIVES SUPPORT
Railroad Labor Board to Handle
Strike Matters Now Up
for Settlement.

The railroad Labor board will be
given full support Of federal autaori-
ty ia its endeavor to aver. the ma
sional railroad strike and will be ex-
pected through the result 10 justify
its creation.
The summary of the strike 81 ia
ton was given in official circles be-
fore President Harding. accompanied
by several members of his cabinet
left the capital for Yorktown, Va, TO
participate in the celebration of
yorktown Day."
With the problem definitely as
signed to the labor board for solution
and each interested branch Of the
government ready for a defensive
program in the event of the sirike
Undertaking., no important local de-
velopments were expected.
Reports from military area head
quarters that steps were being taken
to list men now in the service. who
have had experience in various
phases of railroad work, are under
stood not to be the result of a gem
eral order from Secretary Weeks.
Although suggestion was made in
high official quarters that important
revision of railroad freight rates were
in prospect and might eventuate i'm
mediately, the interstate commerce
commission had no announcement
of importance TO make at the regu-
lar period of the issuance OF decis-
ions.
Only one case asking a large re-
duction in rates on commodities ov-
er wide territory is now complete
in the commissions record, that OF
the middlewestern states for reduc-
lions on grain, hay and feed. The
compliments seek reductions of SO
per cent on the ground that the fall
in the price of the farm products
has made the rates so burdensome as
to destroy farm land values and
threaten the prosperity Of the whole
midwest area. Some twenty-four
states and organizations were in
volved.

On Ira SITUATION SERIOUS
Many Outbreaks Indicate That Care
Must Be Taken to Check
Epidemic In State.

Reports of serious outbreaks of
hog cholera in many counties indi-
cate that there is more danger of a
serious epidemic than for some
years.
Protect your herd before the
cholera gets there, and do II at
once" is the admonition of G. H.
STANCE. dean of the veterinary di-
vision at Iowa State College. Many
farmers, due to the tightness of
money and the low market prices of
hogs, have become careless, with the
result that many herds are being
wiped out by cholera. With proper
precautions through vaccination and
keeping sick hogs away from well
ones, they may be reasonably sure
that the disease can be controlled.
Certain counties appear to suffer
from the ravages of cholera more
heavily than others. Plymouth
county last year was the heaviest
loser, $3.50 hogs dying from the
cholera. Sioux, Jasper and Hardin
counties also suffered heavily AL
lamakee and Ringgold counties lost
the least number. Reports from the
above sections indicate that the dis
ease is now progressing in about the
same proportions, with heavy losses
in some counties.
Since 1918 hog cholera has been
on the increase in the state. Last
year Iowa lost 261,00 hogs, about
5 per cent of the states hog popula-
ton. Present indications are that
this loss will be exceeded in 1921
unless adequate precautions are TAX
en- to control the disease.
Although many complex problems
are still to be solved in regard to hog
cholera transmission and the exact
nature of the organism which at
tacks the hog, science has evolved
vaccination as the only sure prevent
alive to the spread Of the disease.
Iowa has kept her hog cholera losses
below that of other corn-belt states
but unless precautions are taken, an
other epidemic will sweep the state
with heavy loss.

menia at the present time.
People are dying in the streets,
OF hunger" he said. 1T is a COM
mon sight to see scores scattered
about on the public highways, crying
for food and slowly starving to
death. The people of Iowa have
been generous in dividing, their
grain with my suffering people and
without this assistance the death
toll would have been considerably
larger"
Governor Kendall, who is chair
man of the, special committee on old
corn for the. Near East Relief, stat
ed that as much old corn as posi-
be would be raised for the Christ
mas Ship of Iowa. which leaves New

counties are asked to communicate
with their county or township chair
man. In counties where there is no
committee farmers may deliver their

FARMER A SUICIDE
Hired Man Finds His Lifeless Body
Hanging to Tree, on His Way
From Field to Home.

Fred Haupt, who lives about four
miles north of Gray, committed
suicide at his home early Tuesday
morning. Mr.. Haupt had been out
in the field picking corn. He left
his team and walked over to where
there was willow tree. Here he
took his own life. His feet were so
near the ground that IL he had chos-
en- to stand erect, he could have un-
fastened the rope about his neck, for
when he was found his legs were
still in a cramped position.
Mr.. Haupt was about 3S years OF
age. He leaves wife and several
children. Two children were killed
in an accident few years ag,. and

him best that he brooded over this
misfortune. The sympathy of the
