A meeting of the Extra Athletic
Association was held in DR.. Olda.
ker's office Monday evening. Three
new members were added to the list
and the constitution and bylaws
were adopted as drawn up by the
committee appointed for that pur-
pose. The executive committee was
then selected and consists of the
following: l.. j. Oldaker and Edwin
Delahoyde, members ex.officio and
AL VOORHEES,; w, A. Johnson, and
w. E. Wissler, members by election.
The formal opening of the park
was arranged for and will transpire
Friday afternoon and evening. All
members of the club are expected
to be present with their lady
friends, wives and sweethearte,
(notice we mention lady friends
before we do wives for that's the
order they usually come in). OF
course they're going to have a
good time. Tennis players will
play tennis, ball players will play
ball, croquet players will play
croquet, hob players will play hob,
and those who cannot play any of
these may sit and look wise while
the others play. A supper will be
served picnic fashion. Of course
this is not all they will do but it
serves az brief outline to show
what good time they will have.
The grounds being private, will pro-
badly be closed to all but the ball
team after this opening. Vive la
Extra Athletic Club.

Ifit Had Not Raiued.

The Extra ball team crossed bats
with the Anita team at the Anita
ball park last Friday.
Anita knows how to do things
and we know that. The first thin o
they did just before the game was
to congregate their band and lead
the opposing teams to the park. A
band always puts enthusiasm in q
game and by the time the boys
reached the field they were all feel
ing bunkum and had a lot of sur
plus energy to work off. In the
badly due probably to stage fright.
By the second inning however they
recovered and did some splendid
work. The team played well to.
gether and were getting to the
place where they could do some
fine playing when the rain came.
The score was two and one in favor
of Anita.
Action was suspended for few
moments when the shower disap-
peared and the game went on.
Extra erred and let in one more
score when another terrific rain
began and spoiled the whole affair.
Certain we are, that if the game had
gone on to completion it would
have been different story we are
telling. We will let it go as it is
however until it may be fought out
later. Anita must be commended
for her treatment of our team.
Everything went off smoothly
and with the exception of a decision
or two, there was perfect harmony
throughout the game.
The decisions in question hurt
some but of course are forgiven
now. The boys dragged home in
the mud Saturday morning. Ny
what would Extra have done if il
lust had not rained?

GrowviIle's Truthful Editor.

Qtems from the Crowville Clarion.)
"John Grubbs and Mary Ann
Timbers were married at the resi-
dence of old man Timbers Wednes.
day evening. On Thursday Mrs.
Timbers brought over a long account
of the wedding describing what the
bride wore, what presents she receiv-
ed and what was served for supper.
She also presented us with quite a
hunk of wedding cake and asked us
to say editorially that it was delic-
ious and the bride looked perfectly
lovely in her beautiful wedding cos
tune.
We have no particular objection to
saying a good word for Mary Ann
having known her since she was a
yearling. She isn't bad sort of a
girl at all and we hope she and John
will get along alright in double har-
ness, but when it comes to asking MS
to calling her perfectly lovely we
must draw the line. AS matter of
fact she is as homely as mud fence.
Her nose looks like shovel plow
and her eyes don't track exactly. If
there was general order issued to
kill all the passably good looking
women in the country Mary would
be perfectly safe. Still she can cook
plain victuals all right and our opin-
ion is that Johh Grubbs might have
done a blamed sight worse.
Jim Smithers called on us yester-
day to ask us to use our influence
to get him appointed justice of the
peace in this township. He told us
that "Col" Nose Slick had promised
to do his best to secure him the ap-
pointment. We happen to know
that the "Col" has promised the same
thing to not less than four other men.
The Sop has certainly lied four
times out of five and probably he has
told five lies straight. We have
known the ''Col" for a good many
years and must say that this is
about his average for veracity.-Ex.

Miss Vivian Deweese, who has
been teaching No. Z Greeley school,
and Miss Clara Whitted, at No. s
Greeley, held their picnic together
at the Griffin grove last Friday.
In the morning there was shower
and it was feared by all that the
day was spoiled. but soon "Old
Solon" showed his beaming face
and the preparations went on. By
half past ten about one hundred
had come and it is needless to say
that they enjoyed the dinner served
one had brought such good things
and an were hungry and did JUS
were tastfully decorated with bunt-
ing which gave quite patriotic
appearance to the place. Mr.. Flick,
our photographer, took picture of
the two schools and the teachers
and then a group of the entire
crowd. After the dinner was over
they were at liberty to have good
time, which they did in jumping
rope, swinging,-and some by
spoonlng-until three o'clock when
they listened to a good program
delivered by the two schools. The
guest from town were: Miss Garry
Williams, Miss Minnie Wahlert,
Miss Rachel Brown, MISS Grace
Hensley, Miss Dora Johnson, Miss
Florence Thomas. Mr.. Lee Hunter,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Flick. Even if
it did rain and the greater portion
had to go home in the rain they
all teit that it was good to be there
and they had, had a very good
time. Both Miss Deweese and Miss
Whitted will teach the same
schools in the fall.

AS Chris Rattenborg and son who

the reach in the buggy broke scar

buggy was soon demolished and
the team completely winded, when
they were halted at the crossing
near the post office by two of our

WILL HOLD OUTDOOR SERVICE
Churches of Atlantic Will Abandon
Buildings During Summer.

Atlantic, Ia, June 11--Some time
ago the ministers of the city asked
the city council for the use of the
public park in which to hold union
meetings during July and August.
At the last meeting of the Council
they were granted this permission,
provided they remove the seats
each Monday morning and did not
replace them till Saturday evening.
Accordingly all of the churches
are preparing to abandon their
buildings during the heated
period and hold union services in
the park. The ministers will pro-
badly take turns at holding SER
vices.-Nonparaeil.
