A Dear Old Pioneer Mother
Endured the Hardships of loWa's Early Days

Above is cut of Mrs Mary Patty,
mother of our respected citizens, Theo-
dore, William and Charles Patty, all of
Extra or community.
Mrs. Patty emigrated to Iowa in 1856
in one of those old Ohio prairie schoo-
ners. She crossed the great Mississippi
River at Rock Island and landed at
Irving, Benton Co., Iowa, where she
lived and experienced tho great snow
storms snd billiards of 1856 and 1851.
The Indians and wolves were plenty in
Iowa ct that time. The nearest Rail
road station then was Iowa City, when
it took eeveral days to make the round
trip to market and return home. A
few years later the Rock Island Rail
road was built to Marengo and q few
years after that the G. 4 N. w. railroad
was built to Belle Plaine, Iowa. Some
people are well aware of the great hard
ships the early settlers experienced in
those days. In 1868, she and her hus
band, David Patty, came west to Car
roll Co, Iowa, remaining there until
the fall OF 1871, when they came to
Audubon Co., Iowa, remaining there
until the fall of 1871, when they came
to Audubon County, Iowa. Returning
in the fall of 1872 to Belle Plaine Ben
ton Co, Iowa, she came back to Audu-
bon Co in 1874 where she lived and
made her home. Her husband died
Dec. lS, 1897. She remained on the old
homestead until March 1909 when her
daughters husband drew claim in

Next door they found
Peter M. Christensen

Peter N. Christensen
the jeweler, and was surprised to see
such large stock of good goods in so
small town. So on they go and found
Smiths Barber Shop
with Don Hash, Earl McClain and
Hugh Smith busy shaving men and
doing goods business. On the cor
ner they found
Fred Cotton's Palace Grocery
but Fred was too busy waiting on Gus
tome S, to talk, but enough was seen
by our team to pronounce it the best
exclusive grocery in Extra. At the
Green Bay Lumber Yard
they found a very busy lot of people,
and an excellent stock of everything
used in building, it was being we'll pa
tronized. stopping for minute at
P. K. Jensen's Auto Works
gave them pleasure because of the neat
appearance of the work shop. Many
autos were there for repairs and a num-
ber awaiting their turn. At the
Spoo Restaurant And Bakery
they found great many people wait
ing for dinner at this popular restaur-
ant-hotel-bakery and all speaking
highly of the meals that Ma provided
for her patrons. Next door was the
Bishop p-Statzell Barber Shop
where the boys were so busy that next
was not heard they were crowded, and
giving excellent satisfaction, they are
artists in their line. They soon found
"Spot," Frank Tompkins who is al
ways 80 kind to horse flesh. He is do
ing good business. Hearing the ring
OF the hammer next door they found
Volmer Hansen's Sons
the famous horse shoers, fixing the
feet of other horses, who like them
selves had come to town to be put into
condition for winter travel. While
waiting their turn they overheard some
one remark that
Hal May
had purchased the upper barn, and
that Mr.. and Mrs. Wright were fixing
UP the
Park Hotel
in good shape and were enjoying a
good trade. That
H. A. Nelson & Co.
had such good trade that they intend
to put up another large building for
their own convenience next season.
In that pretty building just next door
is
H. P. Hansen's Garage
Hans sells the e. M. F. auto, q fine
machine and has great demand.
Just then fellow asked where is

HORSE SENSE

If You Were Going To Get Your Team
Shod You Would Take Them
To A Blacksmith
If you were going to get your horses
sHoD you wouldn't think of taking
them to
Ed Cotton's Store
because they might get scared when
they saw the largest stock of goods, in
any building in Audubon County.
Neither would you take them to
Kr0eger'S Meat Market
for Henry's GOOD, CHAP MEAT is not
kept for that purpose. Then, too,
there is
Tom Lohner's Grocery
neat, clean and attractive and business
is in a fiourishing condition, but Tom
don't shoe horses. So you might call
into
Rethmeier's New Store
where you will find a new stock of
goods and very accommodating clerks,
who are always ready to wait on you.
If your horses were of Danish descent,
of course they would want to go into
Hans Petersen's
double store, where crowd generally
can be found, buying groceries and dry
goods, and selling chickens, butter,
eggs and vegetables.
If your horses were dry and playful
they perhaps would stop at
Charley Hunts
and indulge in an innocent game of
pool or billiards, and maybe wet up on
bottle ofpop. But they must find a
place to be shod 80 our team travels on
and takes peep into
John Nelson's
thinking that he might keep shoes
horse shoes-but john don't have room
in his stock for anything but hardware,
furniture and coffins, 30 their good
horse sense leads them to
Axel Borjesson's
for Axel has the name of being lover
of fine horse and after few kind
words from this popular druggist they
take peep into the
Fullerton Lumber Yard
and finding so many wagons waiting
to be loaded they concluded to move
on to
w. E. Varney's
and finding the boys loading farmers
wagons with stoves, and woven wire
and furniture they cross the street,
where they find
Juh1 Phillipsen
selling coal and corn, oats and wheat,
bran, middings and oil meal. Geo Gill,
the manager sets up a lunch of chop
feed, which our team did appreciate.
At
Nels HanSen'S
the big drug store on the corner, they
found Nels very busy putting up drugs
They enquired of the clerk for black
smith and was informed that they
could find him at the
Journal Office
probably meaning Brink, but they had
heard of the Journal Office getting out
the best Sale Bills of any print shop
anywhere in the land so they knew
that was the wrong place. At the
Post Office
they became bewildered at the presence
of SO lmany people standing around,
while inside the windows confusion
seemed to reign, but later they learned
it was the drivers Strengthening out
their routes. Seeing some peculiar
shaped hats at the
Telephone Office
they could not understand why

they could not understand why
Miss Jensen's Millinery Store
could be called a telephone office. At
ter few minutes at the
South Side Restaurant
they found Vern busy feeding the hun

garage) our horses looked over the neat
little "Ford" sold here by
A. w. Harvey
who has sold number of them this
year. They were pointed out the shoe
shop presided over by
Dave Workman
and looking in, remarked ono Dave
there" he must be up town. At
Jack AlSup'S
they began to feel at home and every
harness was examined as lady would
examine the hats in Ed Cotton's milli-
merry department.. Jacks stock was
pronounced honest goods and we'll

custom Of this association to hold its
annual convention during stock show
week, but the show has grown SO
large that it leaves no time for any,
thing else. The railroads have
made rate Of one fare for the round
trip from all territory beyond $50
miles from Denver and elsewhere .
fare and third. Sam Dutton of
the Albany has assumed the Job of
entertaining the delegates while
they are In Denver, and this fact
alone would bring in a crowd.
The State Stocs growers Associa-
tion has grown to be the largest ag-
rIcultural organization in the state
and has great influence all over the
state. 1t represents some 1900
stockmen and farmers, and its an
nual conventions are business meet
ines where the live stock situation in
the state is considered, and the ac-
tons of the conventions have far
reaching influence over the industry.
Local associations that are members
OF the state organization are per-
mitted to send as many delegates as
they please, but each delegation is
entitled to a certain vote guaced bv
the number Of members they repre-
sent and the number of stock owned.
A number of important bills are
pending before the state Legislature,
and large attendance is expected at
the coming convention because of

The Colorado State Editorial As
soclatlon has presented TO this legIs-
lstare two Of the most important
bills winch u is cons,aerinp. Both
are m the Interests Il publicity Of
expenditures by public officials
letting the people know where the
money goes.
The first Of these, which has al
ready passed the senate and is being
favorably considered in the house.
provides, that at the end OF the fiscal
year in July, every sehoul district
shall publish IN a county newspaper
nearest the district financial state
ment o. warrants paid, contracts
awarded aud rebates made. The
cost will he small, and il will give
clear and concise idea 10 every
taxpayer and voter of the district
just where the money is paid out.
Ii will qaickIy save its slight cost in
the tendency there will be for officials
TO scsstInize expenses when they
know that every item must be set
before the voters ~ black and white.
The county expenses are nov made
public No one would go back TO
old dark lantern methods, there.
But take any school community, or
school district No. l, for instance,
who knows, how much money it
raised or where and how it is spent
We pay out the money in taxes
Lake any class of business men we
sre entitled To a financial statement
from our servants.
And the same arguments apply to
publication of expenses by town
councils, a matter provided for in the
second If these two bills. So strong
10 this feeling that dozens of town
councils in Colorado publish their
proceedings without any law on the
subject. In Gulnlson, the council
last year made complete financial
statement of every warrant paid, and
it stopped whole lot of kicking,
and was generally satisfactory.
To make these general state law 5
is only good public policy.
