We notice that Mr.. aud Mrs. Fred
Cotton of Extra, with her three chill
dren, the Brinkerhoff girls. went over
to Missouri Valley last week to visit
their great grand father, Judge Harris
who celebrated his Goth birthday on
Friday, July 81, 1911. Judge Harris
was born in Ohio In 1921, married in
Tennessee in 1S4l and moved to Iowa in
1854 settling at Hamlin's Grove in An.
dubon county. He was elected Judge
of this county in 1856 and sent to the
legislature in 1859. He built the first
house in Extra in 1856 and located the
town. Judge Harris has ten children
all living and of course many grand
children and some great-grand-children

saying; I'VE have about finished our

and to the future with hope, we feel
that we have had our day and now

FEARED A TRAP.
A Bit Of Japanese Strategy That De-
ceived the Enemy.

A Bit Of Japanese Strategy That De-
ceived the Enemy.
Many a man has failed to guess an
easy riddle because the simple solution
looked like a trap to him. Here is an
instance in which this trait of human
nature was cleverly played upon by
Japanese nobleman.
The old lord had been forced to fee
with only 300 men before an enemy
with 10000 and barely had time to
reach his castle ahead of his foes.
There were no re-enforcements near at
hand. and he knew that il an attempt
was made to storm his defenses he
and his men would be dead before help
could come.
The enemy's forces advanced rapid
ly. and scouts rode up near the castle
to reconnoiter To their amazement,
they found the gates. doors and win
dows open and all the appearance Of
holiday celebration. They rode hasti-
ly back to inform their master that the
foe was dancing and that bands were
playing music in the castle.
The powerful enemy was too wise a
man to put his head into any such trap
as that. The defenders Of the castle
must have some plan to slaughter his
forces by wholesale or they would
never invite him in that way. He
drew back to safe distance and en-
camped to await developments.
Soon the re-enforcements for the cas-
tie came up behind. attacked him sud-
denly and defeated him. while the gar
rison. which had risked all on Its
stratagem, charged him on the other
side.

MOTOR CAR RUNNING
ON THE GREAT WESTERN
Making Regular Trips Between
Oelwein And Clarion About
One Hundred Miles.

The Hampton Recorder speaks of the
new motor car as follows:
The much talked about motor car
service on the Great Western between
Oelwein and Clarion, is now reality.
The new car commenced making it's
regular trips, as scheduled by the time
card, on Monday, and from what We
have been able to learn from people
who have had occasion to patronize 1t
we are inclined to believe that the mo-
tor car is going to become popular.
There is an absence of smoke and dust
which makes travelling ON the steam
cars during dry and warm weather
most agreeable.
The car Is of mammoth size, much
wider than an ordinary coach, and has
two rows of seats, each seat capable Of
holding comfortably three persons.
The seating capacity of the car is about
eighty five people.
1t is torpedo shape and made of steel
and has disc windows piercing its sides.
The entrance to the car is from the
side and center instead of ends. The
engineer has spacious room in front
in which is placed six gasoline
engines capable Of producing two hum
dred horse power and will maintain
easily an average speed of thirty miles
per hour The car is carried with two
sets of trucks; the front wheels which
act as the drivers, are much larger
than the rear wheels.
1t is said that this car is operated at
an approximate cost of 18 cents per
mile as against little more than 81
per mile of the steam train. The car
pulls trailer. two apartment car for
express and mail This motor car goes
east at HOS am, and returns in the
evening at 1885. Quite o crowd
gathered at the depot Monday night to
get glimpse of the new motor making
its initial trip.

A FINE NOVELTY FEATURE.

oarretta's Pony, Dog and Bird Per-
formance to be Given at chautau-
qua-A Genuine Treat for Old and
Young.
Everyone who likes fun will want
10 attend Chautauqua this season on
the day Garretta appears with his
trained Pony, Dog and Bird perform
ance. 1t will be treat for both young
and old.
This performance is so different
from anything else that 1t is bound
to stir up a great deal of interest for
everyone who likes clean amusement.
And yet, while the acts are full of
amusement features, there is a GER
tain educational value there, too.
1t may shock few supersensitive
people a trifle to experience the sud
den change on the Chautauqua from
some distinguished public man or
woman to a pony, some dogs and
cages of birds. But there are scores
of people in our midst who hereto
fore have cared very little indeed
for what the distinguished public man
had to say, who will be interested at
once in a trained animal performance.
In this way they may be induced to
hear the distinguished parsonage.
We are sure that all sensible peo-
pie will welcome the fact that the
Chautauqua program this season is to
present more entertainment features.
In this busy old world, clean amuse-
ment is very much needed. This
Chautauqua program is great I'M
provement over any heretofore built
as it retains its original strength with
out being too prosy for the multi
tudes.
There are about thirty birds and
dogs in Garretta's collection, all

MAKING UMBRELLAS.
The Work of Assembling the Frames
and Putting on Covers.

Tho Work Of Assembling the Frames
and Putting on Covers.
In most umbrella factories the task
Of turning out ribs and stems is left to
other factories making a speciality of
those parts. These are sent to the
manufacturer, and the man whose
work 1t is to assemble the parts in
serts a bit Of wire into the small holes
at the end of the ribs, draws them to-
gether about the main rod and adjusts
the ferrule.
In cutting the cloth or silk seventy
FIVE thicknesses or thereabouts are ar
ranged upon a table at which skilled
operators work. In one department
there are girls who operate hemming
machines. A thousand yards Of hem
med goods Is q days work for one OF
these girls. The machines doing this
job attain a speed Of some 5000 rev.
olutions a minute. After the hemming
has been done the cloth or silk Is cut
into triangular pieces with a knife, as
before, but with a pattern laid upon
the cloth. The next operation is the
sewing of the triangular pieces to-
gether by machinery.
The covers and frames are now
ready to be brought together. In all
there are twenty-one places where the
cover Is to be attached to the frame.
The handle is next glued on, and the
umbrella is ready FOR pressing and in
