May Work Another Way

In Big Horn county $50 men have
been arrested and will be tried in the
district court for violating the anti
gambling law. The cases were worked
up and evidence secured by Joe La
fors and a tin horn gambler he pick
ed up at Garland. The regulation fine
established for the offense is $500 each
which would give the county SIS 900
If all are convicted and they pay theil
fines. But the violators of the law
have declared they will lay in Jail a
year before they will pay the fine. Il
they should do this it will put the
county in the hole for about $45, OOO.-

1t seems that the lawmakers at
Washington have taken new tack
on the liquor question. One of the
first bills to be introduced at this
session of congress was one provid-
ing for the removal of all tax from
alcohol That Has BEEN RENDERED
UNDRINkABLE.
Few people understand that alco-
hol is really a cheap product, so far
as cost of production goes Its high
market price is due to the excessive
tax placed upon it by the govern
ment, for the double purpose of
bringing in a large revenue and cur
failing its use as a beverage.
By removing the tax the price will
be reduced to mere fraction of
what it is now. Its use in the arts
and industries will marvelously in
crease. 1t is cheap source of pow
er and heat, rivaling gasoline and
other mineral oils in this regard.
This is its proper use and, used in
this way, no sane man has any quar-
rel to make with it. If it is first
rendered unfit for use as beverage
by the addition of roisons, IT WILL
CEASE TO BE BANE AND BECOME A
BLESSING TO MANKIND.
Illicit manufacture and sale will
become rare, since an extensive
legitimate market will offer as great
profit WITH NO RISK.
At the same time, the market for
farm products will be materially
strengthened
All this is along the right line.
Alcohol, in its place, is good thing.
This law tends tends to promote it's
PROPER use and to suppress its 1M-
PROPER use.

Thursday Club Annual Election,

On March l will occur the annual
election of officers of this popular
Club after which they will devote
their time to the social pleasures
which the occasion demands after
this roll call will be responded to
by each member with an amusing
quotation. In their year book
we see that Mrs. Francis Powell is
to act the part of hostess but as
they have been changing their
place of meeting so many times
lately we can't say for sure where
they will meet. The ladies of the
club have quoted the following lines
suitable to the way they should
hold an election.
"You will take it all calmly, we
want you to see
What peaceable fight such con-
test will be;
And of one thing be certain, how.
ever it ends,
You'll find that our votes have
elected your friends"

1t is said that Alice Roosevelt on
her wedding day followed the quaint

Something old ana something new,
Something borrowed and some

And silver sixpence in her shoe.

gown, the something borrowed" a
jeweled shoebuckle that married
friend wore at her wedding, the sill

Important Stock Sale.


Ebbe ]. Hansen's sale which was
billed for Tuesday February l3,
was declared off on account of the
binding storm. However few
people were there looking over and
admiring the fine herd of Duroc
sows: and among those persons
present were Walter and Harry
Nelson from west of Extra, who
are both bright ambitious young
farmers desiring to start right and
with a good herd, upon investiga-
tion and finding that these sows
carried the blood lines of the most
noted hogs in the land, such as
Jumbo Red" "Orian Just Right"
Crimson Wonder" decided to pur-
chase the whole herd, and also in
vested in the flock of "Black Lang
shan Chickens, and in order to do
that Mr.. Hansen made them an
extra inducement in the way of an
extremely low price on his farming
tools, cattle ETC., that deal was
consummated whereby the Nelson
brothers become the proprietors of
the herd which has reached a high
standard on account of Hansen g
careful selection. The Nelson's
will in the future devote their time
and attention in raising fancy hogs
and keep in the front line, with the
best there is going; and will be
ever ready to meet the wants of
their friends and patrons for
breeding stock in both swine and
poultry.

Extra Boy Promoted.

At meeting of the Greenfield
Creamery Company last week
which had large attendance from
its patrons and stock holders,
unanimity of feeling existed de-
claring their purpose to build a
new plant on scale large enough
to accommodate the growing in
dustry in Adair county. The com
pany retained the services of Mr..
Frank Odell as buttermaker, at an
increase of $500 in salary per an
mum.
Mr.. Odell was, for many years,
merchant in Extra. His close ap-
plication to the principles of but
ter-rnaking has made it possible
for his company to reap unenviable
reputation for their butter where
ever sold.
Delegations of farmers from
other parts of the county are ask
ing the company to handle the
cream from several hundred cows
from their sections. in the Green
field plant. They will no doubt
be accommodated. Audubon and
Adair county buttermakers are
making the most money for their
companies of any in the state of
Iowa.
Mr.. Odell was asked to sever his
connection with the Greenfield
and take charge of the Humeston
Creamery at $500, as superintend-
ent. Frank asked to be relieved
where he was to get $780, but his
company refused to release him
and raised his salary to $l4OO,
which he has accepted.
