Jack, how is 1t that the pres

Jack Johnson recently. adding:
present day boxers are a very
poor lot with the left hand. How
would you teach them to use the

well, I have an original meth

explain 1t to yen. To teach a man
to use his left, that's what you
wish to know aboutf Easy one,
that-easy one.
"Just give a boxer q diamond
ring. that's all. He'll keep bis
left hand out In front of him so
much that 1t will become natural
for him to use it.
That's Eow l learned to box
with my left. Get a diamond
ring. Let the young boxer get
such a ring and put 1t on his left

like q young lady playing with a

Hell even get up In the

that be can look at the glass

During the rush of the Fair week

bers, needed skilled workman and
invited Mr.. John Bishop of this city
John accepted the offer but by do
ing so caused Professor Arthur
Statzell to wait en- Mr.. Bishops
trade and his own too. The Profess
sor was equal to the emergency
however and none were turned
away unshaven. We challenge the

delicate touch with the razor than
you can get in this chop. In fact
Extra has two good shops.

ed for room. Much useful merchandise
il called for every day and when the
wants cannot be supplied and have to
be sent for, usually a large order is
made up and the trade lost to the store
and the town.
The country people are not inclined
to send to mail ord er houses for their
goods through prejudice to our home
merchants, not at all. 1t is simply for
the reason that our merchants do not
advertise their wares as do the mail or.
der houses. With description of goods
and their price list before them, they
allure person to send an order, for
there is no home competition procur-
able.

HANS PETER HANSEN
At Detroit With About Two Hundred
Agents Of The E. n. F. From Iowa.
Company Paid The Bills.

Mr.: Hansen put in about week of
the best time of his life. The E. n. f.
Automobile Company of which he is
an active agent, with head quarters at
Detroit, Michigan, called their Iowa
Agents in few days ago to psrticu-
larly familiarize themselves with the
construction of the machine they are
now offering the Public.
After reaching Dstroit aud taking q
rest from their journey they were tax.
en- to the Factory and witnessed the
construction of the machines of which
one hundred and twenty-five are start
ed and finished every day.
On entering the shops small piece
of iron is taken through a system Of
trip hammers and when completed is
an important part of an Auto. Piece
after piece is passed from one forge, or
anvil, or bench to the next man until
the Chassis or running gear is COM
pleted. When in its Rough state it's
put under q twenty-five mile severe
test after which it receives the finish
ing touches.
Mr.. Hansen was we'll pleased wit h
the trip, the manufacture of the fine
machine he is handling and thinks an
acquaintance with the company be-
hind all this is guarantee enough
to satisfy any man who coutemplAtes
purchasing an auto.

DON'T DESTROY
Signs To Guide The Traveller Nailed
To Posts, Davenport To Couucil
Bluffs. Heavy Penalty For
Malicious Destruction.

Good signs and guide boards are
now nailed to posts all the way from
Davenport to Council Bluffs. The
signs used across the state have cost
considerable money. They are placed
along the River to River Road to
guide strangers who choose to come
our way in preference to travelling
over any other route across the coun-
try.
Rather than destroy these signs we
should have pride enough to nail
them to their post, it they are down,
and not split them up and throw
them in the road to injure some ones
tire. There is very heavy fine for
such destruction. Probably thou.
sand autos will pass over this route
next year. Let us keep the record won
by the four RS bright and clean.

GOOD ROADS
River To River Road Improvements
Favored BY Hundreds Of Tax
Payers Will Be Made

Iowa City Free Press says: Nearly
400 tax payers were granted their de-
sire by the Board of Supervisors last
evening, when that body, after Ri
yer to River Road conference with
Iowa City people, decided to make
the improvements.
The Board decided to begin work
early and will improve the roadway
between Iowa City and the western
line of the County, especially watch
ing the River to River road over
which the trans-con9inental tourists
will come-about ten automobiles and
fifty wealthy money spending Eas-
terners being in the party-in October
The plan is to give all the sand roads
q coating of clay, to improve the ap
proaches of the clear creek bridge south
Of Coralville, to improve the danger
GUS and otherwise defective spots
near there and to make the road more
paseable all along the line in every
way possible.
Journals Comment-It is true, of
course, that the autoists are IN the
front ranks of those who are labortng
for better roads; but there are many
more automobiles owned by the far
mers at the present time than when
the agitation for good roads was be-
gun, and the farmers whether auto
mobile owners or not, are seeing more
clearly the value of good roads for all
kinds of travel.
And for reasons just as coed, every
merchant ought to urge the building
of good roads, that his customer can
reach his door with the greatest ease.
In fact, 1t ought to tie contagious
Everybody ought to talk and boost for
good roads.

MRS. E. B. PERRY
Returned To Her Native Home At
BerrYville, Winchester, Virginia
Will Visit A Brother
At Tiffin, Ohio

After an absence of thirty three
years from home aud kindred Mrs. e.
B. Perry of Audubon township, near
here, started Wednesday to renew old
acquaintainces and visit the old folks
who are nearer to the heart than all
others. To look in the future, thirty
three years is very long time in our
lives; but in the past the vivid portray
ais of the pleasures and enjoyment, the
perplexities and embarrassments that
we have met and conquered and passed
through unscathed, is but dream, an
atom as it were, of life.
Thirty-thrse years ago Mr.. and Mrs.
%. B. Perry left their Virginia home to
establish residence somewhere for
themselves. After short settlements in
other places they finally settled near
this city where they have built for
themselves comfortable home and
reared respectable family. By leading
a strenuous life and living economic
ally they have accumulated enough of
this worlds goods to live comfortably
the remainder of their days. They
have enjoyed the good will of their
neighbors and have at all times been
generous in contributing to church and
school and all other essentials that
would build up their community. Real.
izing that her parents are getting old
and feeble, Mrs. Perry thought the
time opportune, to again visit them at
the old home, the playground of her
childhood. After = residence of so
many years in the rich and progressive
fertile west, in the agricultural garden
of the United States, Iowa she will
see the old home as she never saw it
before and wonder at SO few changes.
Her western ambition is apt to shorten
her visit but we trust the realization,
that perhaps those dear old people may
never be the object of another visit in
this world will be enough to make this
one, satisfying and hopeful. And when
1.-the golden luminary of light hides his
tAdiance behind the western horizon to
that paren ntage forever, this duty per-
formed will be looked back to with
pleasure.

The County Fair

With the exception of one day
Wednesday, the weather was a con-
tinuation of sunshine; afternoon
and evening of that day an equi-
noxial drizzle dampened the three
or four inches of dust that had
been accumulating for several
weeks and being rolled up and
blowed at the sport of the wind
made our travellers look like In
dians. The rain if not heavy, made
fair weather ideal. The exhibits
were crowded and everybody SEEM
ed pleased with what had been
brought.

In MEMORIAM
Of Grandma Christopher, Mother Of
Mrs. ]. A. Crow, Who Passed
Away, Friday, Sept. 22nd

At her home, with her daughter and
son-in- law, Mr.. and Mrs. John A. Grow
in Carrolten, Iowa Friday. September
22nd occurred the death of Grandma
Christopher, the respected mother of
Mrs. John Crow ofCarrollton and Mrs.
u. N. French of Dexter, Iowa.
For over thirty years she has been a
part of the Grow family. When Mr..
and Mrs. Grow moved to Nebraska she
went with them. Later returning to
Iowa she returned too. When seeking
health and comfort near the sea shores
OF Old Virginia, she accompanied them.
Again when returning to their kindred
in Iowa, they settled in Carrollton
where she spent her declining years in
the radiance of love and contentment.
A few short months ago she witness
ed the death of her granddaughter,
Mrs. Nellie Crow-Ribble in whom she
took great delight and much comfort
in her company, all her life. When it
was known that hope for this grand
daughter had gone it so dazed Grand
mas sensibility that her sweet, sun
shiny countenance took on an express
ion void, since which time it has been
noticed that a general decline had set
in. A stroke of paralysis announced
breaking down of a rugged constitution
which terminated in a eomatose state
from which she never regained con-
Sciousness.
She lived a beautiful Christian life,
filled, all the time, full of belief in His
promises and always ready to answer
His call.
Mother has gone. The monument of
love and coDtentment she builded here,
she built we'll. Her memory shall be
perpstuated as long as life lasts with
loved ones left behind. Her beckoning
hand calls US to her. Her pleading face
shows her anxiety. We shall meet thee,
dear mother. Good Bye.

REV. JOHN HARMED
Returned To Extra For One Year
More OF Itinercy. Work Much To
Pleasure Of PariShi0ners.

Quoting from the Register & Lea

we expected he would reside one
year at least. But Mr.. Nancarrow
called our attention TO a possible
mistake in the punctuation of the
appointments of the Atlantic dis
trict as given in the Register &
Leader, which changed the ap-
pointments of all through the dis
trict.
The many friends of the Rev.
Harmed and family are much plea
sed at the return of these worthy
people to Extra for another year
and trust their labors will be re-
warded hundred fold in the year
to come.
