American farmers to cultivate Ginseng.
Big profits are realized. 1t is easily
grown" A bulletin by the Pennsyl-
vania State College says: "The supply
of native Ginseng Root is rapidly de,
minishing and the price per pound is
correspondingly increasing, while the
constant demand for the drug in China
stands as a guarantee of a steady
market for Ginseng in the future" ="
American Consul General Nildman
at Hong X ng writes: "There will be
little difficulty IN disposlng on this
coast of all the Ginseng that is grown
ID America"
Ginseng is a staple on the market
the same as corn, wheat and cotton.
The present market price varies from
&c. TO So 90 per pound, while the
cost of production is less than Sl.5O.

Extra Model Creamery.

The Extra creamery is under the
able management of c. c. Nelson
assisted by his brother, L. P.
Nelson. The creamery is one of
the few in Iowa where it's patrons
have learned for themselves-and
dearly too-thatit pays to patronize
home institutions rather than the
out of town concerns. The much
cherished-by their owner-consol-
idated plants, did we'll and lost lots
of money, trying to draw the trade
away from our home creameries, by
giving high tests and few cents
above the market per pound for
butter fat. They had hoped by
this method to freeze out the small
creameries and in fact have done
so in hundreds of cases in Iowa
but the deception is so apparent
now as their patrons have learned.
The cream they sent away lately
is reported to be poorer than the
last can was, it only tested 35@
instead of 40 as had been done
heretofore. The can Was not so
full, having only S3 pounds in it.
The market was off cents last
week so that we cant pay but Is
cents. This is the consolidated
plants method of squeezing the
farmers. The loss on this one can
is 8 off in test, 2 pounds shrinkage
and cents off market value. The
separator was not changed for a
thinner cream and the same hand
had turned it as for the previous
shipments. The same can carried
it to the plant as it had been doing
for some time and it was filled and
weighed by the same person before
its shipment and the weight had
never varied before. The home
creamery paid the same as usual
and why should the consolidated
deduct two cents per pound. The
loss on this can figures Just $l.5S
less than has several before it.
The loss to the farmer is the gain
to the consolidated. Multiplied by
their hundreds of patrons, gives
this Trust, that the farmers are
themselves building, the dividends
that the farmers are entitled to.
This is not one particular case
J Audubon County is full of them.
About 80 new patrons have come to
the Extra creamery this spring
Their output is about ton Of
butter more than it was last year
for April. The COW is the mortgage
litter provided you get the profit.

Extra Won The Game

X 80 y - E. ..54l A5a.s.
The base ball season was begun
in Extra one day this week by a
game between the home team and
the Brayton club. played upon the
east side grounds in anything but
ideal weather for outdoor sport,
cold wind blowing from the north
west which chilled the players and
spectators alike, many of the men
wearing their overcoats buttoned up
to the chin and the ladies appearing
in furs and heavy wraps. The Bray
ton boye started off in whirlwind
fashion and in the first tthreeinnings
piled up two runs while the home
team went plugging along with
only one up to the sixth inning
when they made two tailies but in
the next inning Brayton made one
more making the score sheet read
three and three; right here Mr.. Erb,
Extras new twirler, tightened up
like a high water clam on dry land
and allowed the visitors no more
runs but in the last half of the
ninth inning they chased Claude
Kelsey across the home plate with
the winning run. The Brayton boys
play ball all the time and when they
are getting the worst of the deal
dig in all the harder, which is the
only system upon which to play
the national game. They are all
perfect gentlemen and indeed it is
a pleasure to have them come up
to our town and play ball; then, too,
"Spooney Freeman is a whole
circus, clown and all, and keeps
everybody in jolly mood by his
quaint actions. When you take into
consideration the fact that that
was the first time our new battery
ever worked together and had new
er practiced with the rest of the nine
we think they played very strong
game and when warm weather
comes will be able to show much
Improvement in their play. This
is the first time Extra has ever had
professional players and
Messrs Erb and Menefee are GER
tainly like a boiled egg, hard to
beat Then, too; the Matt Thielen
pasture is a rough piece Of ground,
cannot be scraped and put into an
ideal field. which binders good
playing. There was fairly good
attendance for the first game, the
people seemed evenly divided and
rooted as much for one nine as for
the other. j. F. Berry umpired the
game and gave the best of satisfac-
tion and Randall Hunter was the
official scorer. With Messrs. Erb
and Menefee as our battery and
when they have taught our boys a
few of the tricks we will be able to
hold our own with any ofthe towns
in a radius of fifty miles. We've

Our Platform

Politically the Journal is indepen-
dent and strictly non partisan. This,
however, does not mean that it has
no views and stands for no fixed
principles.
The man who is able to see only
one side of things is narrow minded.
The voter who can think only along
Republican lines or Dmocratic lines
is not safe man to decide public
questions, since in the very nature
of the case he can not be fair. A
prejudiced mind cannot see justice;
and whoever can not see justice is
disqualified to act as Judge.
A man should be broad minded
enough to see both sides, and candid
enough to admit right whenever he
finds it. A person who has no mind
of his own, but is really simply
part Of another mans mind, is of
little use OF worth as citizen. Yet
there are men who can think only as
other men direct or give permission.
An election is near and the time
is ripe for political tricksters to get
in their work. There are two safe
rules for voters at large to follow.
The wire manipulation is danger
GUS citizen and should be cast out
from our midst. Machine politics is
by him and through him; and he
and his kind should be passed by on
the other side. The very fact that a
man is known to be skilled in in
trigue and political chicanery should
brand his name with dishonor. Can
didates. who are straight forward and
upright, should be brought forward;
and all others should be swiftly
turned down.
Also, political lines should be
largely disregarded in the choice of
county officers A mans stability
Of character, his integrity, and his
ability to fill we'll the place he seeks,
these are the vital considerations in
the election of the officers who are
to serve at home. We submit that
it is of little or no consequence
whether man is Republican or a
Democrat, provided he is the BEST
man that can be had for the place.
And as we see it, neither party has a
corner on the BEST men among us.
