broken from the car. The front

COUNTY FAIR IN
Two MORE WEEKS
ONE OF BEST FAIRS IN HISTORY
OF AUDUBON COUNTY TO
TAKE PLACE SOON.

1t is only two weeks until the big
Audubon county fair will be in pro-
gress. President d. w. Randolph
and Secretary r. d. Hawks, togeth-
er with the executive committee.
have been working faithfully to
make this years fair one Of the best
in the history of the association.
The fact that the cattle barns
were destroyed by fire has hindered
some, but ample provisions have
been made to handle all cattle ex-
hibitors in first-class manner. From
all indications there Will be a good
exhibit of hogs, cattle ana horses.
The exhibit of farm products VIII
be better than 1t has for several
years. Weather conditions are sucn
that crops have malured well and
by fair time there win certainly be
a fine showing.
A slight error was made in the
fair book this year regarding the
corn exhibit. On page So in the
fair book 1t reads:
"All samples OF corn must have
been grown in their respective town
ships in Audubon county by the ex-
hibitor during the year 1920"
This is typographical error. 1t
should read during the year
1921" We do not want to have
last years corn on exhibit. We are
strictly up-to-date and want big
exhibit of the splendid corn raised
this year. The secretary asked US
to make that correction today in
order that It may put to rest the re-
port that last years corn is to be
exhibited. This notice is to be Of
ficial and exhibitors will govern
themselves accordingly.
The free attractions this year arc
new and novel and there will be
plenty every afternoon and evening
to entertain the large crowds who
anticipate attending the fair.
The two night shows this year
will be entirely different from any
thing ever seen in Audubon before.
1t will be an attraction that every
one ought to see. Space forbids our
going into detail in each of the at
fractions, but suffice it to say that
No county fair in Iowa has made
such an effort to secure new and
meritorious attractions as the Au-
dubon county fair. Lay your plans
to ~ with US on September Is, IA.

SEWERS WINS PIG PRIZE
Awarded Highest HOnors ut State
Fair with His Young Poland
China Boar.

Word reached Audubon this
morning that Fred Sievers, breeder
of big type Poland China hogs. had
won highest honors at the state
fair this year with his young herd
boar, Iowa Timm, taking first on
boar, Champion and Grand Cham
pion. This is the fourth time out OF
seven exhibits that Mr.. Sievers has
won such high honors, in addition
to taking first place at the National
Swine Show in Omaha a few years
ago. No other man in the state OF
Iowa has taken such honors twice
in succession. This is certainly a
wonderful record and every man in
Audubon county is proud Of the re-
cord Mr.. Sievers has made. The
competition in this class was excep-
tionally strong this year.. as there
were 70 exhibitors in the class, with
boars averaging over 1000 pound
each. In making the award the
judge said he had the pleasure Of
giving it to Mr.. Sievers for having
produced better boar than had
ever before been on exhibition in
the state or anywhere else, accord
ing to his knowledge. The hog that
took second place was one Of Mr..
Sewers hogs sold at his sale last
fall.
Fred Stewart took second on two
year-old Clydesdale stallion.
F. l.. Anderson took first on
mare; first on mare and colt; first
on colt, and first on four-year-old,
champion on same, and grand cham
pion in the Clydesdale class. o.
E. B. Thomas took 3rd and 4th
on junior calf, and 4th on senior
calf, while Miles Gardner took 4th
on COW. There may be others, but
the above is the report that reached
our office at an early hour this
morning.
The above report was given us by
DR.. George N. Weighton, who re-
turned from the fair last night.

2 AUDUBON PEOPLE
IN AUTO ACCIDENT
CAR CoLLIDEs WITH TRAIN AS
4 THEY WERE DRIVING HOME
FROM SAC CITY.

Word reached Audubon Saturday
morning that Mrs. Aug. Schrader
and Miss Mable Martins were SER
fously injured in an automobile ac-
cident about ten o'clock near Sac
City. and that they were In ser
ious condition. Walter Schrader
and wife. Clark Hayden and wife.
and Albert Fancher and wife left
for Lytton Immediately
!. As near as we can learn the facts
Mable Martins was driving Walter
Schrader's car and in company with
Mrs. Aug. Schrader were returning
to Lytton from Sac City. Just as
they reached the outskirts Of Sac
City they came to a railroad cross
ing and not seeing the approach-
ing train, they drove onto the rail-
road track. Mable, who was driv-
Ing the car, saw the train and tried
to stop the car. but did not succeed.
The front wheel OF the automobile
was on the track as the train pass
I'd. The occupants Of the car were
thrown out onto che ground. while
the car was completely demolished.
Help reached them at once. Mable
was picked up alongside the track in
an unconscious condition. Aside
from serious flesh bruises, the bone
in her arm was literally twisted off
at the shoulder and badly splinter
ed. She soon regained conscious
ness and inquired about Mrs.
Schrader. Up to this time It was
thought that she was the only one
in the car. Mrs. Schrader was
found near the fence, almost stand
ing on her head. She was bleeding
at the mouth and suffered serious
hemorrhages. It was thought she
could not live.
The injured people were taken to
the home of Walter Schrader at Lyt-
ton, where Mrs. Schrader was visit
ing her son, after administering
first aid. Mrs. Schrader has re-
manned in a serious condition and
there is little hopes of her recovery.
However, this morning the reports
have It that she still has a chance
to recover, since the hemorrhages
have been stopped. Mable Martins
was taken to Mercy hospital at Des
Moines. where the broken arm was
set, but It was so badly splintered
that It is doubtful IL the fracture
win heal so that she will regain the
use Of her arm.

Catholic American Education in Europe

who had most at heart the Catholic
education of youth cast about to find
well-equipped religious community
of women to whose care the under
taking could be intrusted. The same
circumstances, however, which had
compelled Madame Delaquis to discon-
tinue also made it impossible for the
Sisterhoods of Europe to offer their
services, and so attention was turned
towards the United States to find
there the desired assistance. This
appeal for aid was answered by the
Congregation of Dominican Sisters of
st. Clara's College, -Sinsinawa, Wis.
consin, already highly successful in
educational work in many parochial
schools and colleges throughout the
Northwest, and with plans for still
greater development in Chicago and
elsewhere. In the fall of 1917, Sisters
Mary George and Mary Grace, o. s. D.,
arrived in Fribourg, and at once took
over the management of the "Lycee,"
which was continued as such for two
years, under difficulties extremely
great and at times seemingly insur-
mountable. But success attended
their efforts, and when in 1919 their
numbers were augmented by several
other Sisters from Sinsinawa, the field
of endeavor was broadened and in
that year a School for Social and
Religious Studies was inaugurated.
This has proved to be the GROWING
distinction of the Institute one
which has placed it in special sphere
amidst the many other schools cluster
ed about the University.

= USE OF SEALS.

Seals and their impressions, wheth.
er antiquarian or recently made, have
always stimulated the fancy of the
connoisseur and art student by their
charming effect and the ingenuity
displayed in putting so much on so
small space.
The use of the seal for the identif-
cation of objects by making a unique
and inimitable mark upon them was
adopted in early times by nations.
We know from the Old Testament
that the ancient Jews had them in
use, and recall the dialogue between
judah and lamar in Genesis 3S:1S,
which says: What pledge shall l
give thee?" to be answered with,
"Thy signet and thy bracelets" This
signet was probably similar to those
used in ancient Egypt, a cylinder of
hard stone, engraved with a personal
device. There are many such in the
British museum.
In Egypt the impression of a seal
was usually taken in Nile MUD land
attached to documents. Later on
among the Latin races seals were used
for bags of money, documents and
even private rooms, and were i'm
pressed in wax. The delight which
the ancients always had in bright and
sparkling objects led to the choice of
hard transparent stones of peculiar
beauty which lend themselves to en-
craving, and SO it is that the seal at
tracted the attention of men cunning
in producing lovely little works of
art.

Situated but few steps off the
Boulevard de Perolles, the grand
promenade of Fribourg, Switzerland,
in the midst of a garden of stately
evergreens, made beautiful in season
by beds of vari-colored flowers, is the
villa des Fougeres" of the
Ferns-a charming name for an equal
ly charming spot. From it's point of
vantage one has an excellent view Of
the picturesque Sarne Valley, as well
as the. romantic medieval town on the
one side, and on the other, the
majestic, snow-clad peaks of the Alps.
Here is the home of the Institute des
Hauntes-Etudes," college for young
ladies under the direction of the Sist-
ers of Saint Dominic of Sinsinawa,
Wisconsin, says the Rosary Magazine.
{ In 1901 this Villa was opened as a
Lycee or High School for Catholic
girls by Madame Delaquis and her
daughters. These ladies attended to
the higher education of those under
their charge for sixteen years until,

HATBANDS HAVE MEANING.

There's a reason for placing the bow
of the hatband at the left side, which
dates back to the days when men used
to settle their troubles with a sword.
1t was very necessary then to be able
to draw ones weapon at moments
notice-quarrels broke out almost
without provocation. Feathers or
hanging plumes were always worn on
the left side, so that there was no
chance of their interfering with the
freedom of the sword arm. AS time
went on, feathers gave place to rib
bons, sometimes used to secure the
hat to the head; the. ends of these
were brought to the left side to be
out of the way Of the right arm. When
men ceased to settle their quarrels
summarily with weapons, the left side
of the hat continued to carry any lit
tie extra decoration allowed on it; and
there it has remained to this day.
