Sometimes, though rarely, the names
of other inmates are placed over the

that requires it, except in the case of
boarding houses, which have to place
their boarders' names outside for all
to see. A person fortunate enough to
possess telephone always has the
number proudly displayed over his en-

In Hawaii, the Philippines and Cuba
one of the chief topics of interest to

vote whole pages to these boat move

and stories of the voyage by members
of the officers STATS and crews. In
fact the arrival of the evening train
in mainland country town holds
more interest for the residents

man of Allen county and an old ship

"I shall never forget the year
1901 said Mr.. Miller, in relating
some of his hard experiences. tsThat
was the drouth year, the worst the
country ever passed through. The
corn belt states, and the grazing ter
ritory, all alike were burned out. We
had no place to go with our cattle.
They were starving for feed and
water. I sold that summer on the
Kansas City market aged steers of
the feeder class at $2-75- Stockers
were bringing about the same price.
Honey could not be had on cattle on
any kind of terms. Today our coun-

FOUND DEAD IN BED

Mrs. VIM. Sexton, OF Ralston, was
found dead in her ben early Satur-
day morning at the home of her
daughter, Mrs Gay s. Thomas She
was in her usual good health Friday
evening when she retired, She had
been out riding that evening and did
not complain of being i'll. Several
years. ago she was afflicted with
heart trouble but no symptoms pre-
vailed at this time. From all in
dications she died without struggle
and physicians give 1t as their opinion
that she was stricken during the
night with heart trouble and died
without being able to give any
alarm, or perhaps had not even been
awakened.
Mrs. Sexton came to Audubon for
visit the last day of Chautauqua
and expected to remain with her
daughter and her family couple
of weeks. She was about 70 years
OF age.
Her remains were taken to her
home in Ralston Saturday evening
where funeral services were held on
Monday. Her husband, five chill
dren, IT grand children and 4 great
grandchildren are left to mourn her
untimely death. The sympathy Of
the people of the community Is ex-
tended to Mrs. Thomas in her hour
of sorrow.

ANOTHER BALL GAME

The business men of the North
Side who were defeated in game
of baseball by the business men of
the South Side in contest held
last Wednesday, issued a challenge
to the South Siders for another
game to be held on Wednesday,
August 18th This challenge has
been accepted and the terms and
conditions are the same as prevailed
the first game. The victors have
been rubbing 1t in just little ever
since the game and of course the
Northerners feel they were fleeced
out of the victory by the umpires,
both being from the South side. The
next time there will be one from
each side and we suppose the one
who has the best thief will be the
ones TO win, -.
At any rate there, is going to be
lot of fun out at that game, and
everyone wants to see good-sized
crowd. The proceeds will go to the
American Legion. any professional
players will be barred and the line
up for both teams will be composed
entirely of ameteurs.

KILLING INSTINCTS WILL DIE
. HARD

Hunting is on the increase as an
outdoor sport. More than 100000
Americans seek prey with gun, year
w, says the Department of Agricul-
ture.
The department attributes the hunt
ing craze to the growing CONGESTION
of population and unrest which such
massing produces" 1t adds that the
hunters develop their resourcefulness
and maintain physical and mental
health which is of the utmost value
in relation to their civic usefulness"
That's open to argument.
That 100000 Americans use shot
gun and rifle shows that man has a
long way to go before he gets the kill
ing instinct out Of his blood. Disarm-
ament is not going to be easy to at
tain.
Man is the only animal that kills for
the sheer Joy of killing.

Introduction of bills in state legisla-

gress, looking to the making of the
English language the controlling me-
dunn in public and private schools,
have aroused strong sentiment
throughout the country in behalf of
Americanization measures such as
these. The consideration of such meas
ures, particularly in relation to immi-
grafton, is being asked by constitu-.
ents ofsmembers of congress.
Carrying out the spirit of the sug-
gestion made by General PershiAg
that America should be ruled by
Americans, the closing days Of the
special session and the regular session
of congress promises to witness such
a demand for the adoption of laws
looking to the promotion of t1Ae real
American spirit and patriotic action in
peace as well as in war as has not
been known except during tile world
war, according to veteran observers OF
affairs at Washington.
