Extra Public Schools.

While the past year has been one
of considerable growth and materi-
al improvement in Extra school
affairs, yet the coming school year
promises much more. 1t seems that
with the increased facilities for
good work and comfort of the pupils
that there should follow excellent
results to repay in part the recent
outlay and attention on the part of
the district.
Now that our schools can seat
many more pupils than formerly, a
condition brought about by the
new system of heating, there should
be proportionate increase in the
attendance, in the higher grades at
least. Extra, with her comfortable
equipment, apparatus, larger corps
of teachers and free text books
offers strong inducements to the
Older boys and girls of the adjacent
country districts. The coming year
will see many innovations, all OF
which it is hoped will be advanta
geous to pupils and others concern.

Henry Rohwer, the business man
ager of the Green Bay Lumber Co.
here, has resigned his position and
accepted more lucrative one with
Chr. Mueller & Son, at Davenport.
Mr.. Rohwer will be assistant mana
ger of the large yards at Moline,
and we do not doubt will be kept
busy. Many patrons of the compa-
ny whom he has served so faithful
ly regret his leaving here as his
business relations with all the peo-
pie have been upright and open and
have won him many fast friends.
The society of the town will miss
both him and his estimable
wife who have taken an active and
progressive part in all public work.
Their possibilities, however. will be
extended in Davenport aud while
all regret their leaving all join in
wishing them abundant prosperity
in their new home. His successor,
Chas. Waits, has been in the employ
of the company for quite a while
and comes highly recommended as
business man and should receive
the support of the ola time patrons.

Mr.. O. A. Bishop lectured on last
Friday night, in the Methodist
church, to large audience. Mr..
Bishop was one of the American
prisoners in the Philippines and,
as such, had many thrilling and
horrible experiences. For eight
months they travelled from place to
place, hungry, tired, foot-sore and
almost naked, expecting to be killed
at any time and we're finally aban-
doned in the mountains, among the
widest savages on the island only
to be rescued the following day by
the Americans. 1t was horrible
experience and one that few care to
go through.
The remodeling of the church of
Christ, in Extra, is reality and un-
der the energetic hands of the wide
awake building committee is being
pushed rapidly to completion in
the near future. The committee is
composed of the following MEM
bers of the church: Otto WHITAKER,
President; George Wheeler, Super
intendent of work about the build
ing; John Peterman, Architect OF
Building; N. p. Christensen, Treas
urer; Mrs Frances Heath, Assistant
Treasurer; Mrs. P. l. Whitfield, Score
tary. 1t is the intention of the COM
mittee providence permittingl to
have the church ready for dedica-
ton early in October. The commit
tee on dedicatory service is l.. I'll.
Humphreys, pastor; w. r. Bolts and
!. II. Bell. 1t is the determination
of this committee to secure for that
occasion the very best talent to be
found in the Christian church.
