BANDANNA USED in FOUR
PREVIOUS CAMPAIGNS.
Thurman's Political Emblem Before
Pro9ressives Adopted II.

The adoption OF the bandanna as an
emblem OF the Progressive party Is not
the first time that the gaudy handker-
chief has appeared In American poll
tics. AS a matter of fact, II was used
In four previous political campaigns
those OF 1876. 1880. 1884 and 1888. Ev-
cry one old enough TO remember those
days will recall how familiar a sight
the red bandannas were &C every po-
litical meeting as they were waved
above the heads of the crowd They
were waved ia honor ~ Allen Gran
berry Thurman Of Ohio. veteran sena-
tor from that state. leader OF the Dem
ocrats In the senate. a candidate for
the Democratic nomination for presi-
dent IN 1876. 1850 and 1854 and nomi-
mated for vice president with Cleye-
land In 1855 II was his invarlable
habit 10 carry a bandanna handker-
chief. and from this fact his friends
adopted IL as an emblem OF their der
votion 70 him.
Senator Thurman was born in 1913.
Ben; perley Poore. the veteran CORE
spondent and observer Of men and
things at Washington. In his reminis-
cences OF the capital describes him and
some of his striking personal charac-
teristics thus:
ALLEN G.. Thurman OF Ohio was rec
ognized by the Democrats I'm the SEN
ate as their leader. He was broad
shouldered, sturdily built man, with a
large square head and rnddy complex
ion, gray hair and beard smooth shaw
en- upper lip and positive manner
that commanded respect Earnest. out
spoken and free In his criticism or
men and manners, he would wave his
red bandanna pocket handkerchief like
a guidon, give his nose trumpet blast,
take n fresh pinch OF SNUFF and dash
into the debate. dealing rough blows
and scattering the carefully prepared
arguments OF his adversaries Ike
chaff."
Mr. Thurman's bandanna handker-
chief and his snuffbox were made 30
prominent In all the personal accounts
OF him that appeared that the public
grew TO associate them firmly with his
personality. He acquired the habit OF
taking snuff not infrequently when he
was a youth from his old French
teacher, Professor Gregoire, and when
he first went TO Washington he found
1t prevailing practice there. "Ho
did not, however" said defender,
use snuff to any excess. and his mod
crate sized box. supplied with the fin
est quality. easily lasted him a fort
night without refilling He naturally
took 10 the use of the bandanna hand.
kcrchief In vogue In his younger days
and simply never abandoned an article
OF dress that has popularity been sup
planted by more modern forms"
So it came about that the lurid ban
ner" was flung aloft by Thurman's
supporters. and Il was not the fault OF
their meekness that he was four times
defeated In his ambition.

Sudden Death of Carroll County's
Treasurer. A Man Much Respected
By All Who Knew Him.

County Treasurer William Langen-
field died suddenly at his home in Car
roll Sunday, January 7th and by his
death Carroll County loeses one OF her
very best citizens and the state of Iowa
splendid man. He settled on farm
with his parents southeast of Temple
ton in the 7O's where he reached his
maturity.
He was of a studious nature and for
tunate enough in that early day to
live near u school house where he i'm
proved his opportunity He eventually
became teacher and taught for many
years in his home township. He be-
came helper at the Halbur station of
the c. & N. w. Ry, aud later Agent
where he served for many years. While
in this capacity, he became editor of
the Carroll County Democrat, from
which he was appointed Deputy Coun-
ty Treasurer. He was elected County
Treasurer and was serving his second
term satisfactorily to all.
Billy Lan2enfeld, as he was Known
in an early day, made good as what
ever he undertook. He was a quiet
man. hard worker, always had an
open hand aud smile for every one,
honest and Christian, devoted to his
Church aud to his family. He leaves
wife and FIVE children to mourn his
loss, Mrs. John 81. Mertes Jr. of Adair,
so we'll known here, bsing one OF the
daughters.
Being taken in the very prime of
manhood makes his departure so sad.
His unsullied character will ever be
monument to his memory, an example
to the young, of one whose reputation
will live on and on.

Another Deal

Another deal was consumated last
week with the Lohner stock and when
concluded Oluf Jensen found himself
the happy possessor of the stock of
General Merchandise owned and con-
trolled here all last summer by Tom
Lohner.
Mr.. Jensen has taken control of the
stock and is adding to it's wear parts
and will soon have stock second to
none in the town for quality and var
iety. A few years Oluf had fine bus.
mess and large stock her. Something
induced him to close it out, since
which time he has been like fish out
of water. We are glad he is back again
in the harness of business man. If
we don't miss our guess he will surely
have fair share of the trade.

FAKES
Through Bit Of Business Prudence
on the Part of Rev. Harmed.

But for the previous experience
of the Rev. John Harmed of the M.
E. Church temperance lecture
would have been delivered here by
the man (?) whom, he said, was re-
quested to take up the work
of the great temperance organizer,
Fra Gle Murphy. The fellow failed
to produce the proper credentials so
he failed to tell his story or to Pass
His Hat. Ga previous occasion
an organizer who was working here
was granted the use of the Rev.
Harned's pulpit. The story he told
was not worth the value of the coal
1T took to warm the room. To furth-
er impress his coming to the Coun-
ty he went wrong and has disap-
peared with prospective member's
money who had intrusted it to his
care for initiation purposes.

EXTRA, IOWA, THURSDAY JANUARY 49, 1919
HIGH PRICED CATTLE
John Christensen Of the Elk Horn
Country Received Highest Price for
Cattle Ever Paid In Extra.

Mr.. John Christensen of Elk Horn
sold bunch of fat cattle to Msssrs.
Hensley, Thielen aud Dimick that
commanded the highest price Of any
beef cattle ever brought to Extra. The
price paid him was 81 25 per hundred
pounds. The cattle were brought here
Monday. This transaction proves that
Extra ia as it always has been the best
stock market in tue country, and have
the best buyers to be found any where,
gentlemen whose character and inte-
gritty and good looks is above reproach
1t also settles the fact that Mr..
Christensen, Danish farmer of the
E'k Horn country, knows how to top
off bunch of cattle for the worlds
greatest market. The intelligence of
the Danish farmer feedeth thee calf,
the calf enricneth his master.

BOYS KEPT BUSY
Harry Sampson Goes as Special In
veStigat0r to MuScatine While
Attorney General CoSSon In
veStigateS Fl. Madison

These are buy days at the Office of
the Attorney General in Des Moines.
Mr.. Cosson, who has been having the
fight of his life with the Maybray crowd
in Council Bluffs, has found it neces-
sary to take up again the investigation
into conditions at the State Peniten-
tiary at Fort Madison.
Just at this juncture the strike at
Muscatine has assumed an ug ly aspect
and Last Friday Harry e. Sampson,
Assistant to the Attorney General, and
son of Supervisor d. ID. Sampson of
this county, was sent to the scene of
the trouble to investigate the situation
thoroughly and to take whatever action
seems best, after consulting all parties
conceraed, to conserve the peace and
secure square deal for every body.
1t is hard case to deal with. There
is no hope of settling the labor troubles
that have brought about the struggle;
and there is hardly chance of getting
at the facts which are at the bottom of
it. Mr.. Sampson has full power to
probe the matter to the bottom.
The employers quite long time ago
imported deputies to aid the sheriff and
peace officers These deputies were
brought from another state. But the
employers insist that the State of Iowa
should pay these men. The Attorney
General says no. And this is only one
of number Of serious controversies
that have grown out of the big strike.

camel in. Part of the crowd thought
it might be fake and did not wait for

\ PLAN FOR CONCRETE
BRIDGE WORK

One of the phases of Audubon Coun-
ty's business that is receiving more at
tention each year, and deserves still
more than it is getting, is the building
of bridges.
The policy of replacing the worn-out
bridges of the county with permane-.a
structures of concrete has already been
adopted; and all agree that it is proper
and oommendable in every way. But
there are some who believe that Audu-
bon County has got off 'on the wrong
foot" in the matter of constructing
these permanent bridges.
The State Highway Commission of
Iowa is giving a great deal of attention
to this concrete bridge work on the
country roads of the state; and where
permitted to do so it coo operates with
the Boards of Supervisors of the various
counties in the most practical way in
planning, supervising and inspecting
this work.
The counties which have got the
best concrete bridges for the least mo-
ney are without doubt the ones where
the State Highway Commission has
been in charge of the work.
This Commission holds
That blanket" contracts which CO.
yer an entire years bridge work in
single contract, are sad mistake, but
that there should be separate specifica-
tions for every bridge drawn by
competent engineer.
That contracts should be let to the
lowest responsible bidder after being
properly advertised.
That all work should be thoroughly
inspected by competent engineer
both while it is in progress and after
completion, BEFORE THE BILLS ARE
PAID.
1t is obvious that bridges built under
this plan would be superior structures
in every way. But in practice it is
found that competition is sharp, that
bidding is active, and that prices
secured are lower than under other
plans by good deal
The Journal suggests that Audubon
County fall into line and put its bridge
work as far as possible IN the hands of
the State Highway Commission of
Iowa.
