Continuous Guardianship.

Mr.. Douglas concluded his report by
saying: The continuous guardianship
helps to keep the home right. Long term
temporary commitments SAVIOR of SEN
fences. like Jail or penitentiary sentences
on adults for two years, three years or
five years, whereas the most enlightened
communities favor the indetermnate SEN
fences for adults. Why should destitute,
or even delinquent children be committed
to a public institution or agency for three
or five years? 1t seems to me no legiti-
mate business of the state to take charge
of and train such children that worthless
parents may selfshly reap the benefit"
The total amount of money appropriated
for the board of chidrens guardians for
the past year was S79,S20. OF this sum
1910 was not expended. The present
membership of the board consists of 3.
Pickman Mann, president; John f. Cook,
vice president: Miss Ella Moore, secre-
tary, and Thomas e. Sewall, James B. 7.

Feeble-Minded Children.

June 90. 1907, there were sixty feeble
minded children for whose maintenance
the board was paying from its special
appropriation. Thirty-five OF these were
at the Pennsylvania Srraining School.
LiNJn. Pa: twenty-three at the Vir-
ginia Training School, Falls Church. Va,
and two at the New Jersey Training
School, Vineland. N. J. The latter insti-
;uticn appears In the report for the first
time. The Elywn INSTITUTION was crowded
and unwilling to receive more children
from the district By direction of the
board. a visit was made to the Vinelard
institution by Mr.. J. B. T. Upper. chair
man Of the committee on care of feeble
minded children. and the agent. The fol-
lowing is from his report to the board
The board authorized a contract with
this institution at an annual rate of $3.50
for each child placed there. The board
of childrens guardians Is of the opinion
that the District of Columbia should care
for its own feeble-minded dependents
within its own borders. No up-to-date
state is without similar provision for this
unfortunate class. Ninety 800 per cent of
those now under care of the institutions
mentioned must be sequestered and main
tanned as long as they live. Why not
care for them at home?"

Marriage Anniversary

Last Sunday Mr.. and Mrs. Chris
Hansen of West Extra celebrated a
double event, his birthday anniver-
sary which occurred Saturday,
Augus 81, when he arrived at the
age of forty years and their nine
teenth marriage anniversary which
occurred Sunday.
Their residence was crowded
Sunday, day and night with friends
from all over the county and even
from Elk Horn and other out of
the county towns, who enjoyed
themselves immensely for it is we'll
known they are both good enter
taiuers and treat their visitors
royalty. 1t was at late hour when
the crowd departed after wishing
their host and hostess many happy
returns of the two events which
had just been observed so delight
fully.

DEHORNNG OF EXTRA
No More will be Heard the Blatant
Trumpet and the Squeal of the
Clarionet, and Aggie's
Drum Is Silent.

AT meeting of the Extra Concert
Band Saturday evening it was de-
cided unanimously to disband. For
the first time since 1876 Extra is
without a band. In 1904 the bows
and purchased COM
plete new set of instruments, new
uniforms and new music, to which
they have been adding as the new
music came out. The instruments
were purchased by the Individual
members and are owned by same.
An invoice shows they have $1,000
in instruments, 5000 in music and
$500 in uniforms. In 1904 the Extra
Concert Band was awarded Let
prize as the best band in South
western Iowa. For years the boys
have dug deep in their pockets to
keep the organization going. They
have donated their time in practice;
donated their services every Decor.
alton Day for over quarter of
century; gave their services freely
to all church festivals, lodge do.
ings, etc. In 1904-5.6 they played
summer concerts every Saturday
nights on our streets, drawing
crowds from miles around. and
curing those three years did not
collect enough from the merchants
to pay their band-room rent, much
less the numerous other expenses.
To keep the organization going this
winter and next spring the boys
would have to reach down in their
purses to the tune of about one
hundred dollars, and they are tired,
oh, 80 tired. The only day in the
year when they get personal mon
ey, viz: money that don't go into
the treasury, is July 4th, and last
year they took thirty dollars of that
to "square up" The boys are all
hard working boys, mostly me-
chanics, and their business is such
that it is Impossible to fill out of
town engagements, so they could.
as Shakespeare says "Put money in
thy purse" therefore Extra is sans
band, sans noise. BRINK.

The money order system was
established in 1864 and since that
time there has accumulated IN the
national treasury about ten million
dollars on account of the misunder-
standing of the use of the money
order. 1t WAS discovered recently
that German nurse in Washington
has torn up within the last five years
more than five hundred dollars worth
OF money orders thinking they were
receipts for the money which she
had raid for them and that the
money had been sent to her old
mother in Germany.
