EXTRA BOOSTERS
From the Atlantic Daily News We
Clip The Following Stirring Article
On River to River Road.

1t is certainly a shame that this
story has to be written. 1t is s.,l!
more shameful that it is to be prinr-
ed. The most shameful part of the
entire affair lies in the fact that the
people of Atlantic are going to be
blamed for something over which
they had no control and which they
could not help. The taxpayers ar,
not to blame for the taxes have been
paid and the roads should have been
fixed up, but
1t remained for bunch of out
siders-for bunch of men who do
not even live in the county, but who
live in Extra, in Audubon county, who
come here sometimes to spend their
money with the Atlantic business
men, to come down here and fix up
the roads so that they could get ir.-
to Atlantic. And what is more .he
road was repaired by these Audubon
county men clear up to the paved
streets of Atlantic.
Farmers and residents in Audubon
county have automobiles for which
they have paid out good hard earned
dollars and they are careful Of them
They do not like to run over roads
that rack and tear their machines to
pieces and this is what happened
when they drove to Atlantic, SO they
say. These people talked with dif.
ferent people here and mentioned the
facS that the roads coming into Allan
tic We're very rough and some even
characterized them as rotten, but still
the holes became deeper and more
frequent.
Finally bunch of them got togeth-
er and decided to fix the road up them
selves. Yesterday was the day ap-
pointed and early in the morning
they gathered. with picks and shovels.
hammers and nails and everything
NEEDED and started out. They didn't
quit until they struck the paved
streets of Atlantic.
The following residents of Extra
and vicinity were in the good road
making party: DR.. J. G. Newton, Ed
Win Delahoyde, j. B. j. Hohner. Il.
M. Rasmussen, P NJ. Christensen,
DR.. John Diley, Chas. Kommess, Will
kommess, R. G. Waterson, John
Knox, c. O. Hunt, NJ. Nelson, Harry
Nelson, w. H. McNeely, Fred Cotton
and John Nelson.
All of these men do not own auto
mobiles. Some of them drive horses
and are just as loath to taking the
bumpty bump road to Atlantic in a
buggy as the others are in their au-
tomobiles. So they Clipped in with
their help and assisted in fixing up
the road in Cass county and into At
lantic.
Honest now it's a shame. OF course
every one here is glad that the road Is
fixed up and in good shape, but it is
fierce that the people who come to
visit and spend their money here had
to come down and do the work. It's
too late now to help it, but for heav-
ems sake don't let it happen again.
Yes, Indeed. That's the kind OF
boosters the Extra Bunch are made
of. We find one particular fault with
them though. When they run out
on the highways to FIX up the
"sore soots'-they are very reticient
about reporting it. They are "yust
like hlams." Don t be surprised to
hear OF their next tour into Council
Bluffs.

Audubon county is abundantly
able to honor the brave men who de-
Tended the nation in time of peril.
1t cannot do less than perpetuate the
memories of their services. The peo-
pie of this county are not wanting
in the generous emotions and senti-
ment which recognizes and rewards
the acts of brave men we'll perform
ed. Nearly half century has elaps-
ed since those services were per-
formed.
1t is fitting that they should be
perpetually emblazened upon endur-
ing tablets of fame. Therefore be
it resolved by the citizens of Audu-
bon county, assembled at the Old
Settlers Reunion in the year 1911,
that the following named persons
constitute a committee to petition
the Board of Supervisors of Audu-
bon county to order an election to
raise an adequate appropriation by
tax for the erection Of an appropriate
monument to commemorate the serv-
ices of the Soldiers in the Union
army during the Civil War from this
county, and to take necessary action
for its erection. viz:

Vets" Lay Stress on Alleged
Decrease in Birth Rate.
CRUMBINE SAYS NO.
Declares There Are More Babies
Than Ever in Kansas.
Merry War on Merits of Birth
Records in This State.

1t has been discovered that in the
coming campaign to make Kansas a
wet" state, the i-prohibitionists
nave sent out the news that the death
rate in this state is abnormaly high in
comparison with the birth rate. This
statement they use to offset the de-
clarations OF physicians and others that
the death rate in an alcoholic state is
much larger than in a state where the
prohibition law is in effect
DIR. S. ]. Crum bine, secretary of the
state board of health, has taken up the
fight DR.. Crumbine says the argu-
ments are foolish-foolish because the
facts have not been truly represented.
DIT Crumbine admits that the anti
prohibitiCniSts are on the right track
IN one respectively are basing their
claims on past records of the state.
Records reported by the state board of
health when only the assessors and the
county health officers had knowledge
OF the births Now with the new vital
statistic law in effect the stork has
made a wonderful showing in Kansas
and the arguments of the liquor in
forests have been broken in a thousand
pieces.
Before the year is over DR.. Crumbine
believes that the birth reports in Kan
saS will reach a total of three times
the death record. IN the first official
reort just published it is proved that the
births exceed the deaths by more than
twice the former figures. This is an ex-
ago when only a small percentage was
made.
No. sir, there is no race suicide in
Kansas" beamed DR.. Crumbine. with
our old means of gathering statistics,
I'll admit that things looked pretty
near the danger mark We We're be-
ginning to wonder if it really was race
suicide after all. But now the records
are gaining in every report and we viii
be able to make a big showing for the
next issue of the Bulletin.
Dr. Crumbine has received number
of inquiries on the figures published in
the last Bulletin wherein it was shown
that diseases of early infancy killed
more children and exceeded all other
causes of Death for the first part of
August. Why is it. they ask. Kan
sas has no large congested citiesi Why
such a large death rate among chill |
dren? Does this signify unsanitary
conditions?
Dr.. Crumbine has an explanation
Here il is;
The death rate among infants has |
increased because the birth rate has |
made such a big gain in Kansas Kan |
sas is a state settled mostly by young |
people-persons in the productive age |
The birth records are growing every I
