AL ANDREWS
Owner Of A New ford Automobile
Now Improve His Fleeting mo-
ments BY Praeling Speed Limit.

Since the rain of Monday last our
Autoists have been un able to take out
their cars. Al Andrews however had
not fanliliariZed himself with the
speed of his new Ford before the roads
became too muddy to travel so he has
contented himself with practicing rid
ing one of the little boys Express Wa
gons on the cement sidewalk that leads
to the depot. AL can be heard rehears-
ing: A carburetor is gas mixer; a
mufflsr is to keep down noise; trans
mission carries power-ensine to ma
chine; differential equal drive on each
side; radiator cools water; engine
power; sxhaust-sn smoke behind; in
take-of gas; timers speed; Banker S
Accident Company-if you get sick or
hurt. Gosh why here is Davids Creek
bridge, West Town. Wonder if any,
body saw or heard me. Oh yes! one
more, speed limit-don't go into town
faster than the machine can go, say 40
miles, for you may hurt some one.

HOW THE PARTIES STAND ON RECIPROCITY
REPUBLICAN

We suppose the proposed
Canadian reciprocity treaty
as being detrimental to the
farming interests of the coun.
try; and we pledge the nom
inee of this Convention to
oppose the adoption of said
reciprocity measure and urge
our United States Senators
to use their influence and all
honorable means to prevent
the passage of said measure.
We denounce the proposed
free list of the democratic
house of representatives as a
measure injurious to the in
terest Of American industry
and dangerous alike to farm
and shop.
No other resolutions we're
adopted by the republicans
except that the principles
contained in the last nation
al platform we're endorsed.

State Attorney George Cosson is ma
king good as Attorney General of Iowa
AS poor boy, struggling hard to sup
port widowed mother, he made good.
AS telegraph operator and later De-
pot Agent, he was not found wanting.
AS student struggling to Master
Blackstone he was diligent. AS a
practicing Attorney he made his repu-
tation. Asa County Attorney he ell.
forced the law, fearlessly, and regard.
less of what might come, and has the
record of loosing but one case during
his tenure of Office. AS Assistant Atty.
General of Iowa under Attorney Gen
eral Byers he never betrayed the trust
imposed in him. AS State Senator he
secured the passage of eight important
bills that will always be known as they
are known today, the Cosson laws. He
is always alert and assiduous.

WELL KEPT PARK
Nothing Adds To The Attractiveness
Of Town Or City As A Well
Kept Park.

A beautiful park we'll kept, catches
the eye of the traveller quicker than
do buildings that rear their lofty
heads skywards, or paved streets that
are 80 smooth and pleasant to ride
upon, for the public expects to see
them in cities where the country's
wealth is dumped. But neat and
nicely kept park in village the size
Of Exira, in the heart. or ce ntral part
Of the town, which nature has embel-
lished its surroundings with gran
deur that has no equal is certainly
worthy of special notice.
The grass on our park has been
moved over until it is getting equal
to the finest lawns, and beautifully
earpeted. A nice coat of paint now on
the band stand and rything will
be in order for the incest little celebra-
ten Extra has ever had.

Mr.. White said: "All re-

fight for Judge Green. 1t is

DEMOCRATIC

We commend the democra.
tic house of representatives
upon its support and passage
of the bill providing for reci-
procal trade relations with
Canada. Fair reciprocity has
always been a democratic
doctrine and while the pend
ing trade agreement origina-
ted with a republican presi.
dent, the democratic members
of the house recognized in it
a measure which, while not
perfect, opens the way for
better trade relations and
the extension of the Ameri-
can markets, have patriot.
cally given it their support.
They have thus demonstrated
to the country that they will
place patriotism above party
advantage and support any
meritorious measure which
has for it's object the purpose
of tightening the burdens
resting upon the common
people.

FIRE in EXTRA
One Of The Unaccountable Fires Hap
pened In The H. P. Petersen Store
Last Thursday Night.

One hundred and fifteen suits of
clothes, most of them fine suits, were
damaged by fire, which started from
an unknown cause, in the store of Mr..
II. P. Petersen last Thursday night.
The store was closed Thursday eve
ming at the usual hour and the light
plant was working as we'll as usual
that evening. When Mr.. Hassenfeldt
opened the doors for business Friday
morning he found the rooms full of
smoke. Cropping his way to the rear
ofthe dry goods and clothing depart,
ment he found that the large cloth,
that was used to cover the two racks
on which WAS hung about one hun
dred fine suits of clothes, was COM
pletely burned up and the clothing
ruined. The clothing, being wool,
did not blaze but scared over aud was
smouldering when discovered. On
a table beside the rack was also piles
ofclothing but this did not fare as well
and was nearly consumed.
The smoke has done much damage
to other goods in the big store which
may not be discovered for sometime.
The temporary damage is estimated at
from twelve to fifteen hundred dol
lars. Insurance is carried in ten com
pRnies.

BIG BABY
The Kind Of Babies We Raise In The
Beautiful City of Extra. We Chaf-
lenge the World for his Match

Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Basham are the
happy parents Of thirteen and half
pound baby boy that came to their
home last Sabbath morning. tits an
unusually large child and seems to be
very healthy.
Mr.. Basham, who is one of the Rural
Free Delivery Mail drivers is certainly
to be congratulated upon receiving
such bouncing baby into his home,
for there are thousands of homes in
the U. 8. of Ameaica, who would give
little fortune to be so fortunate as to
raise son and heir to their estates.
The percent of childless homes in the
United States is the largest of any
country in the world. Especially
among the rich are births considered
out of place. It Is said that on Fifth
Avenue, New York where so many of
the rich people reside there has not
been child born in many years.

ROAD DRAGGING LAW
Attorney Generals Office Clears Up
Debated Points Of Statute.
Opinion by N. ]. Day.

NelS j. Lee, special counsel in the
office of Attorney General George Cos
son, handed down a comprehensive
opinion yesterday on the road drag
ging law passed by the last General
Assembly.
The main questions passed upon by
Mr.. Lee follow:
The one mill tax for road dragging
provided by the last General Assem-
bly, must be levied by township trus-
tees previous to the general levy made
by the Board of Supervisors for 1912.
The public roads of townships must
be divided into permanent road drag
ging districts during the present year
and superintendent OF roads ap-
pointed to supervise the work.
Thesuperintendent of dragging can.
not in any instance be member OF
the board of trustees, but may hold
the office of road superintendent in
conjunction with that of dragging
supervisor.
The one mill tax for dragging fund
is independent of the regular tax
which trustees are authorized to levy
for the maintenance of the roads.
1t was the intention of the legisla-
ture to provide road dragging in 1911
and the work must be done by the
trustees, although the regular fund is
not available until 1912.
Funds with which to pay the ex-
pense of dragging during the present
year may be taken from the regular
road levy.
Township clerks Should call meet
ing of the trustees for the purpose of
making the road drag levy in time for
the annual levy made by the Board of
Supervisors.

UNCLE HI
Enjoying Life In The Beautiful Monte
Christie Valley. Texas. AZ People
Came And Bought Land.

Monte Christie, Texas, May IA, IL
Mr.. Geo. E. Kellogg,
Audubon, Iowa,
Dear Sir:-Your letter of sometime
back to hand, and in reply will say we
expected you down the last excursion
sure but were disappointed, but there
was an excursion here of AZ people.
They got here on the 5th when we ex-
pected you; they thought this a fine
place, lots of them bought $42, 500
worth which would be an average of
over 81 900 apiece. They had fine
banquet for them at the "Experimen-
tai Farm" They stayed until Monday.
Now you ought to be here and see how
nice everything looks. 1t rains hero
every week we have all we need, for
the last two months I don't think it
has gone over week in that time
without a good rain. We had one on
Fridayain the morning and one at noon
Our crops are as fine as silk, our cot
ton on the place is beginning to bloom
and Bert is so proud of his outlook for
crop of fine cotton that we think he
dreams about what q fine bank account
he will have this fall when his crop is
off. l have fenced in about twelve
acres of pasture east of our house for
the mules, it is fine pasture too. You
would be surprised to see the fine grass
since so many rains. Almost every bit
of the ground is covered with green
stuff.
They have been pumping at the
Lane & Bowler well for sometime,
filling up the reservoir but we don't
need any irrigatiug now as it rains SO
much, good rain every week.
Tell Carpsr the cotton on his place is
fine. I had five Mexicans thinning it
out. 1t looks as if he would not know
the place. l think when he sees it he
will be surprised to see how nice it is.
Write soon.

No Play Spell

Farmers usually have play spell
between corn planting and corn
plowing which sometimes last two
weeAs but this year the Intervening
period was SO short that we don't
know of any going away to look at
land as they usually do at this time
of the year. The fine condition OF
the soil and the extremely hot
weather at planting time brought
corn right up and the most of it
could be rowed in five days time.
This caused the farmer to get after
the weeds for they grew too.

Cities marks the beginning of impor-
tant changes in the railroad map of
Iowa, and incidentally establishes a
number of new transportation routes
OF vital Importance to Des Moines, st.

Lines, in connection with their present
line, secure the shortest route, between
Des Moines and the Twin Cities and
reach rich territory. The new line
shortens the distance between Mason

that growing industrial center addi-
tional outlets north, and south of i'm.
mense value.
BY the construction of thelEnew line
south of Des Moinss upon which-it is
announced-work will at once com.

Moines and Kansas City will result.
This will establish direct line from
the Twin Cities through Mason City,

Increased transportation facilities to
Des MONIES and supply desirable
means of traffic interchange between
