An Egg Story.

The effect of food on the flavor of
eggs is found by an English medical
man to be surprising. He says that
when the hens act as scavengers, their
eggs are made unfit to eat, but a diet
of suntiower seeds produces remark
ably fine and sweet eggs. In Extra,
n portion of their ratios is "honey,u
that's why the merchants pay two
cents dozen more than most other
towns for eggs.
Talking about eggs, Mr.. Oluf Jen-
sen, one of the up-to date merchants
of Extra, informed us that he took
in l0,44O eggs last Saturday. At that
ratio, Extra received, through her
merchants, nearly fifty thousand
eggs in the one daY

Our Position.

The Journal stands uncompro-
misingly for honest making,
and rigid, impartial law enforce
ment.
1t believes that our law makers
should spend their time in enacting
certain benefcent laws, known and
generally felt to be necessary,
rather than in the pulling Of polit-
ical wires or quarreling over pure
ly private grievances and grudges
among themselves.
Perhaps our legislators in the
General Assembly just closed should
not be censured or condemned too
severely. Yet it seems certainly
true that altogether too much of
their time and attention was de-
voted to petty personal quarreling,
and to certain other matters too
trivial to occupy the law making
body of a great commonwealth.
And it is true also that some vitality
important legislation was set aside
to make way for this doubtful sort
of business.
There have not been many times
in history when there was such
pressing need of decisive legislation.
But this General Assembly seems
to have squandered its time and op-
portunity.
A political campaign is near and
we believe our people should look
first and most carefully to their rep
resentation in the state Legislature.
Here if anywhere we want a man
who is able, fearless, and INcoRRUpT-
1BLE. These three; but the greatest
of these is INCORRUPTIBILITY.
The Journal is Independent and
non partisan. 1t does not care from
what party such a man would come,
SO that he can be found and sent to
Des Moines.

An Extra Author Blossoms.

BY the courtesy of Mrs. John
Dodge, OF this city, we are permitted
to read a yarn in The Monthly Story
Magazine, printed at Chicago, from
the pen of Mr.. Charles +. Wilcutt, a
former we'll known resident of Extra,
and father of Mrs. Boy Herrick,
who resides three miles south of
town; but who is now teaching
school out at Astoria, Oregon,
suburb of the city of Portland. He
calls his story" A Strange Chance,"
it is a tireman's story and starts out
with description of incidents and
scenes which lay along the way
from his home to Phoenix, Arizona,
which leaves a good taste in your
mouth. AS you proceed with the
story he introduces you to former
class-mate of his who is keeper of
madhouse, down at Phoenix, and
presently you see one poor fellow
is "daffy" because he thinks his
sure'nuff girl has been burned up
in fire which destroyed her moth
er's cottage; but the girl was not
''at home" when the fire occurred
and all hands are trying toirestore
Will Saylor's mind to it's throne
when the curtain goes up for the
last act. Sybil Gray, Saylor's sweet
heart, and the physician, whose
name by the way is Doctor Brooks,
hit upon happy scheme to rid him
of his malady, so they go to work,
set fire to the cottage of SYPHILIS
mother and when the fire engine
comes rushing by Will Saylor
swings to place on the rushing
cart, goes up to the fire, mounts the
stairs to SYPHILIS room in his anxiety
to save her, she is there all right,
he catches her up in his arms, car
ries down the stairway, she smiles
into his face and calls him by name,
all the mysty past is cleared up and
you see them oaway in an auto in
the moonlight. 1t is quite inter
esting, fine piece of word paint
ing, 80 you should be sure and get
copy of The Monthly Story Maga.

can write.

A widow in Kansas, whose hus-
band was killed in drunken brawl,
sued the dealer who sold the liquor
to him, for $4,000 damages. The
case was hotly contested by the sa-
loon element but the supreme court
upheld the Kansas liquor law and
the widow will get the money. The
case will be precedent, and even in
states where there is no special law,
it may be possible to hold liquor
sellers responsible FOR the conse-
quences of their nafarious business,
and thus, in measure curtail the
liquor evil,
