rencia que lie corresponds ocupar, que
lie esta reservado en- la celebration de

TEMPO sobrado queda para dispo-

caci6n que hacemos a los que deben
procurar a Puerto Rico esta gloria con-
memorativa, no ha de caer en- la indife-

Asi Sc afrma la personalidad de los
pueblos, y asi Sc rectifcan errores E
injusticias propaladas torpemente, y a
los que Ia Historic, con la revelaci6n de
los hechos que es la voz de la inmorta-
hdad, da un soberano mentls.'
En- LA Democracia" del jueves pa
sado, ell Sr. Mariana Abril publica una
cronica acerca de las Cortes de Cadiz,
y despues de hacer justicia q la glorio-
sa memoria de aquel insigne parlamen-
to. acaba su artlculo con esta reco-
mendacion
''Comparese ahora esa Constitution
con ell actual bill Foraker, que I'm 81
glo despues, ha venido regir en- Puer-
to Rico.
Ahora bien: 5no ser1a una verguenza
para este pals, que habrfa de sumarse
a las muchas que estamos pasando an
te ell mundo, que Puerto Rico fuese Ia
1nica antigua colonia espanola que no
estuviese dignamente representada en-
ell Centenario de esas gloriosas Cortes
que preside un puertorriqueilo? Que
concepto mas triste formar1an de no.
sotros Espa1a y las rep1blicas hispa-
no-americanas!
A la Camara de Delegates, genuina
y Official representation del pals, CO.
rresponde tomar la iniciativa en- este
case. Una comisi6n de su seno es la
llamada q representa- Puerto Rico en-
ese Centenario. Y 81 para los gastos
de esa Comision se opusiera ell Tesoro,
Sc sufragarian por suscripcion popu-
lar.
7 81 en- las Camaras fracasase Ell pro-
yecto, en- segundo ter1nino correspon-
ponder1a Ia iniciativa & los Ayunta-
mientos, especialmente 4 los de San
Juan y San German, que fueron los
que en- 1912 sufragaron los gastos de Ia
estancia en- Cadiz del diputado don Ra-
mon Power.
Quizas la idea que he apuntado en-
estos articulos caiga en- ell vac1o y no
haya siquiera otro periodico que la Sc
cunde, pues ESQ ocurre aqui con casi
todas las iniciativas que Sc lanzan a la
publicidad como no leven caracter
mercantil.. Pero cumplo con ell deber
de puertorriquefo en- seiialar la ohli-
gacion en- que estamos de concurrir q
ese Centenario, no solo para honrar la
memoria de aquellas Cortes sino para
honrar al pals"
Perfectamente de acuerdo. Solo cue
Ia queja apuntada por ell Sr. Abril es a
nosotros a quienes toca exteriorizarla,
va que en- dos amos que van transcu-
rridos nadie ha mostrado su adhesion
a la idea, hasta que ell Sr Abril, Gre
yendola suya, viene coincidir en- todo
y por todo con nosotros.
Hecha esta aclaracion que nos inte-
resa, consideramos ell artfculo del Sr.
Abril como una adhesion valiosa que
no debe quedarse sola.

A GOOD EXAMPLE
Why Not All Do The Same To The
Boys That Bring Your Hail
As These Men Do.

On Rural Free Delivery Route No. 4,
out of Audubon, the route that Mr..
Jacob Topp lives on. the driver of the
mail wagon is asked by six of the far
mers to take his dinner and feed his
team at noon at one of their homes
each day. These big hearted Danes
appreciate the privileges to the far
mers of having their mail matter bret
to their doors daily, and realize that
while the government is establishing
the routes all over the country, they
cannot pay their mail driver as much
as the work is worth.
So to help the government and pre-
vent a loss to the driver they willingly
assist and show the appreciation of the
service this way. Every route could
do the same to the boys if they would

EXTRA IOWA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 10, 1911.
MIGRATORY
Billions Of Seventeen Year Locusts
Passed Over Extra Monday Aug.
7th, Going South East.

Millions Of the little creatures were
flying Monday afternoon, all to the
southeast. Looking towards the sun
at about 2:30, clouds of the little fly
like insects could be plainly seen.
Occasionally few were flying too
weakly to reach the upper current Of
air, by which they are often borne for
hundreds of miles and fell to the
ground. OF those captured it was
said they had the appearance of the
IL year old locust but not at all like a
grasshopper.
Well do we remember The hoppers
of 1876, when the clouds that lit actu-
ally otscured the sun, in the north
part of the County. The new break
ing seemed to be their favorite rendez-
vous and they proceeded to fill the
ground with their eggs; The eggs
Matched during the warm days of the
next spring and they subsisted on We
getable life till harvest, when they
took their departure all in single
day. These little pests caused us to
remember 1867.

HElNE, Oh HENE
We Took You To Our Heart As A Mo-
ther Embraces Her Children But
You Betrayed Us As Your
People Did Our Saviour

There are three letters advertised at
our post Office for one a. Parks, does
any body know him? Well, yes, come
to think about it, we know Heine to
the tune of several dollars. He posed
as photographer and we feel sure he
missed his calling for he was q much
better hand at getting money under
false pretense. We tried to hire Heine
to solicit for US. He hired one of our
auto men to take him over territory.
He thought he could run the auto so
the chaffeur let him try; he ditched
the machine, it cost $3.50 for repairs.
He came to us the next day and said
they offered to sell him an auto if we
would sign the paper; we didn't sign;
80 Heine took the train next morning
to operate from the railroad. We
heard from Heine once after that. He
had made few contracts for us in the
way of collecting. Then Heine dis.
never to be heard of again.
Somebody since that told us he was a
Jew and he went from Gray (the last
place we heard from him) to Jerusa-
lem to wait for the Second Coming.
We belive anything. But those let
ters bother US for we are little afraid
he is coming to Extra again. The
thought maker us nervous.

WEST HAMLN
Creamery Company And Patrons Held
Their Annual Picnic At Lar
sens Grove Wednesday

The annual meeting of the West
Hamlin Creamery Company and all
their patrons was held yesterday at the
Johnny Larsen's Grove. No report
has been received from the meeting but
the principal is right and these meet
ings of the Company and patrons only
further strengthens the good they are
doing for the country and themselves.
The speakers they bring together on
these occasions to counsel and advise
as to the care of cream and milk and
milk utensils and receptacles is worth
very much to all who hear them and
many will have no other way to gain
such knowledge. The people in that
section have come to make holiday of
this occasion and after the feasting
they dance in good old style.
The output will be largely increased
next year, most likely, because of tho
burning of Sharon Creamery. 1t is
quite probable that Sharon will not re-
build because of the privilege offered
by near by Creameries of using the
cream of the Sharon territory and saw
ing the expense of maintenance.

LOUIE GROTELUSCHEN
Badly Hurt By His Team Running
Away. He Loves To Drive
A Good Team.

Lou Groteluschen, the popular hard
ware merchant of Gray, Ia, has thro,
his honesty in dealing with his fellow
man, and his business methods that are
q part of his stock in trade, built up a
big business all over the north part of
the County and . share Of the south
part of Carroll. The windmill and
pump work all over vast territory
belongs to Lew.
Last Monday, while on the road
coming home, after finishing Job, his
team became scared and unmanageable
and before they were brought down to
business they had thrown Mr.. Grotel-
uschen out of the vehicle on his head
and shoulders. He was taken to a

Tuesday night when kind friends
moved him to his home in Gray. He
is resting comfortably and will soon
again be out.

GOOD BALL GAME
Brayton And Extra Played A Good
Game Of Ball On The Extra
Diamond, Last Sunday

Probably the NEST pleasant games of
ball was played on our diamond, last
Sunday between the Brayton boys and
our own Club that has been played in
western Iowa this year.
Fair decisions from start to finish
satisfied the players of both clubs that
what they earned they would get no
more, no oless, and with that assurance
they ''played ball'' as they used to play
it when we occasionally won game,
and the other fellows would do like
wise. The game was full of sport and
well played. At the close Extra found
Z scores to her credit while Brayton

one present enjoyed it. Both sides

JOHN HICKS
An Extra Boy, Dry Farming In Colo
rad0, IS Acres Of Wheat, 20 Bu-
Shells per Acre, sell 8 Cts Pound

One spot of intense and increasing
interest to people of Moffat County for
months was John Hicks wheat field,
which, because of its elevated position
ON sloping mesa west of Craig, could
be easily seen and scrutinized daily.
Everybody watched and inquired
about it, and every stranger coming in
soon had the story of Johnnie Hicks
wheat. Some people were interested
simply out lof curiosity, but large
majority realized that the success of
this field was worth thousands of dol
lars to Moffat County in demonstrating
one Of the many possibilities of the re.
gion. While others have had similar
success with dry farm grains this sea-
son, the large burden depended upon
John Hicks, because his field was in
plain view of all.
David Taylor had his binder in the
field last week, and . splendid crop
was harvested. Some parts of the field
yielded better than others, but the ge.
neral average is twenty bushels to the
acre for the thirty-five acres. It has
not been wet season by any means.
In fact, for week or two in May some
were predicting total failure, but. the
rains came just in time to make fair
crops.
Samples of Hicks fall wheat have
been on exhibition in 1.-THE Empires"
show window for several days. 1t is
the Turkey Red variety, from special
dry farm seed produced by the State
Agricultural College 1t was the first
crop on the soil, and it's success was
due principally to the thoroughness of
the dry farming process. Most of Mr..
Hicks product this year will be disposed
of for seed, considerable quantity al
ready having been engaged fer that
purpose.
AS mentioned before, Others have
been fully as successful this season.
Samples are also being exhibited of
fall and spring wheat, rye, oats and
macaroni wheat from the dry farm of
Fred Gardner and they have been
much admired. But because the
Hicks field has been watched every
day since the sprouts first showed
above the ground, that is the crop that
a majority of people have been more
particularly interested in.-The Craig
