GRADUATION

ing A Profitable School Year.
All Worked In Harmony.

Last Thursday evening June l, III,
was one long to bs remembered by
the good people of Extra. AT an early
hour the people began to gather at
the Christian Church to listen to the
exercises prepared for their special
entertainment. Rev. John Harmed Of
tho NJ. S. Church opened the exer-
discs by prayer, followed by Glass
March "Toreador" by Bizet by Miss
Bessie Witthauer. The graduating
class marching in to the music were
Ethel 1. Bison, Frank n. Hall,
Deana E. Hensley, Flora B. Houston,
Ellowene Dimick, Winnie /. Heath,
Ora B. Hicks, Clara @. Powell, Mur-
iel NJ. Koob. After the Invocation by
Rev. Harmed, a song rs weet Twilight
Hour" by Geibel was rendered by the
Glass Trio, Ethel Bison, Ellewene
Dimick and Deana Hensley. This
song brought forth much applause,
and paved the way for q fine GRAFTON

ever heard here which held the crowds
attention for sometime. At its close

LECTURE COURSE
John VandeBrake Contracted For Lee.
ture Course Of Four Numbers To
Entertain You Next Winter.
| Support Him.

Through the kindness Of John Van
deBrake of the Exchange Bank, Ext
ra is again assured of lecture Course
for next winter. Having canvassed
the town and finding the sentiment,
Mr.. VsndeBrake concluded that
enough support would be forth COM
Ing to pay the course through OF
nearly so.
John figured that rather than not
have anything going on in town this
winter he would run the risk person
ally and make 1t up should there be q
discrepancy. Mr.. Vandebrake has
contracted for course every way
worthy of your support and patron
age, and we trust that his liberality
will not be allowed to suffer at yeur
hands.

EXTRA, IOWA. THURSDAY, JUNE 8, 1911.
CELEBRATION
At Kimballton And Elkhorn. The
Celebration Spirit Took Posses
sion Of Young And Old Alike.

Election and the Celebration made
things lively in Elk Horn and Kim
ballton last Monday. In fact, the cele-
bration eclipsed the election but the
boys went through the form neverthe-
less and cast proportionate vote of the
district.
This was theanniversary of the pro-
mitigation of the Danish Constitute
or as they call it "grundlov" which oc-
ours always on June 5th.
They prize their constitution as Am
erica appreciates her Independence
and both manifest their pleasure on
the Birthday of their Freedom.
American Independence dates from
July 4, 1776, the Danish Constitution
was signed June 5, ls49. America num-
bers nearly 100, 100000 people, Denmark
numbers little over 100000.
Denmark now leads the world in
dairying and the product Of that little
country can be found in all parts of the
world.

THE NEW ROAD
The Boosters Are Active. There's
Nothing Too Good for Our People
Extra Is On The Map.

A few of the Boosters took spin
over to Walnut Wednesday to criti-
cally examine the road between this
point, and that city, so as to know to
a certainty whether to send our heavy
travel that comes in over the River to
River Road on their journey via At
lantic or direct to Walnut, saving the
tourist, if by Walnut, some fifteen
miles of travel.
We learp, the gentlemen who made
the trip were agreeably surprised at
the lay of the land, and the fine con-
dition of the road, between this city
and Walnut. With the exception of
few spots which are easily fixed this
road will be as good as the three RS
via Atlantic. The picturesque seen
cry passed through between these two
points is the grandest in all Iowa. In
fact we don't know what we have
missed by not making this portion of
the road part of the River to River
Road before. Not only the natural
scenery but farms with their living
crops, cattle, horses and sheep. Large
houses and large barns with all their
equipments, and all settled by the
thrifty and social Dane; with no
fighting at Walnut to destroy the
pleasure OF the trip, all adds to praise
of Iowa as one OF the best States in
the U nion, and to the River to River
Road as the great Mid-Ocean route
across the Continent.

A Close Call

While Senator Andrews was in
specting his fine young orchard in
West Extra on one of those very hot
days the fore part of the week, he
realized that something was going
wrongin his head and things began
to look green. He hurried to a shade
tree and reports that he was very
near sun n-stricken.

URGES SAVING OF BABIES
Professor Giddings Says 1t Is Not
Detrimental to Race Progress.

Professor Franklin II. Giddings, head OF
the department of sociology of Columbia
University. in statement made yesterday
declared he was strongly in sympathy with
the work OF the committee for the reduc-
ton OF infant mortality. He said
The suggestion that saving babies is un-
wise because. II is a violation OF natural
laws and detrimental to race progress has
no truth In IT, Some of the children, be-
cause OF the conditions under which they
are reared, or for some other reason, may
be preserved 10 lives Of Illness or drunken
ness. But IN that see no interference
with the operations Of the Darwinian
theory Of race selection through the sur
vival Of the fttest because those same laws
will work upon the children in the sue
ceeding years Of their lives, just as they
would have done in the first year. If the
social agencies had not stepped in to pre-
serve them.
III child saved is natural weakling.
tuberculosis or kidney trouble or some
other malady will pick him of later, and
the race is not weakened on the other
hand. II child saved has vitality he has
as good a chance to come TO maturity a
strong person as has the child which was

either event. Natural selection does not
stop with the close Of the first year OF life
which is the period TO which the various
organizations are devoting their efforts"
