A QUIET WEDDING
Mr.. William spoo and Miss Eula
Lancelot, Who We're Married
March 9th, Now at Home in the
Joseph Bell Cottage.

The Journal is at length permit
ted by the interested parties to an
nounce the marriage of Mr.. Will
liam Spoo to Miss Eula Lancelot,
which occurred March 8, 1912.
They made and carried out their
own plans, and as publicity formed
no part of same, they used their
influence pretty effectively in silen-
cling the press.
They occupy the Joseph Bell cot
tage, which has been tastefully fur
nished and makes a cosy little
home for two.
The Journals sincerest good wish
es are, of course, showered upon the
new home, whose occupants are JUS
passing from life's little hour of
rosy dreams into its long years of
hard, stern realities.

EXTRA vs. GRAY
A Mingling of Yoslng Men from
Each End of the County Ftrou
Together by love of Game.

The game was called at O'Clock
and was one-sided affair, the
Gray boys being out classed. All
clubs enjoy their periods of sue
cess; as theGray boys did recently
when they defeated Audubon 6 to
2, and later Botna 19 to 1, and Sc
veral other games that we could
mention where they have played
ball. But after losing the game
here, 10 to 4,not one of the play
ers was heard to complain on the
field or on the streets. A better
behaved set of young men never
stepped into diamond and played
the National game. They are gen
tlemen, everyone of them, and have
certainly learned to take just what
is given them without a hummer or
protest. Our boys, on the other
hand were at their best, and being
on grass diamond, which they
were used to (while our visitors
We're not) they made some real
handsome plays that were highly
appreciated by the audience. They
are getting to do some good play
ing, and if the improvement keeps
mp, with Galen in the box, we
shall be able to handle anything
that comes over the pike.

DOSE AT ATLANTIC
Caused Sickness of Manage, Was
Not of Serious Nature. Denied
by Patient.

John Nielsen says George Gill
was sick i'm Atlantic last Sunday
while George denies the acquisition
in toto. Now, they are both reli-
Bile business men and why they are
so far apart in their statements is
a mystery. Had it have been Man
ming or Templeton they had visited,
we could have explained their "pre-
dicam ent,' but Atlantic?
We can only explain by saying
that George and Nick took their
ball team to Atlantic last Sunday
and the dose they had to take was
enough to sicken a dog, so we are
INCLINED to believe John, in pre-
ference to George in this particular
matter.

WELL HERE'S ANOTHER
Nimrods Went to the Creek Sunday
INSTEAD Of to Church, Cast Their
Hooks in the Classic Nishnabotna

Will May, Frank Roach, Ad Wat
terson and Elmer Fowler went to
thewoods last Sunday, and after
amusing themselves with feasting
their eyes ON the beauties of ma
ture for a time, concluded to cast
their hooks into the Nishnabotna.
For awhile their luck was poor,
but eventually the finny tribe be-
gan to bite and for several hours
lit is said the catch was enormous
Fish of all kinds and all shapes,
big and little, all, it seemed were
trying to take the bait first. The
mumbre of pounds taken out of the
creek, it is alleged, far exceeded
the lawful limit, SO Bill May was
sent that day to a telephone; he
returned to say that Bill Hay
would bring dray Bill Hay brot
the dray to the Nish-na; then
Bill Hay loaded May into the
dray, and started for "Exi-ra"-
the other boys were able to walk
home, so they say.

IRESSA BASTENDORF
Raised near Extra, Moved to North
Audubon County, Became One of
Our Most Popular Teachers

Miss Tressa Bastendorf, who has
been teaching school north of Gray
in Carroll County, closed very
successful term of school, last Fri
day. After visiting friends in Man
ming, she left for her home in
Minnesota, where the family went
last spring.
Miss Bastendorf has been one of
OUT best teachers, and is quite pop
nlar in the north part of Audubon
and the south part of Carroll coun-
ties, where the family has reside
since leaving Extra, several years
ago. AS a teacher, she has given
excellent satisfaction.
We regret her departure but our
best wishes for her future success
go with her.

ATLANTIC'S EXCURSION
Our Neighboring City Starting A
Trade Boosting Auto Excursion
Fifty Cars Daily for Three Days.

Atlantic is boosting for trade.
She will send out fifty autos day
for three days, each auto to carry
four people. The first day they
will visit Lewis, Griswold, Carson,
Oakland, Hancock, Avoca, Walnut,
Marine and home. The second day
they will visit Wiota, Anita, Adair,
Massena, Cumberland, Grant, Ly-
man, Gallon and home. The third
days schedule is Gates, Elk Horn.
Kmballton, Audubon, Extra (where
they will be for dinner), Lorah and
home again. The Journal would
suggest that they would turn east
from Erayton and keep going until
tfey strike the White Pole Road,
tken make the run for Atlantic. The
reason for this suggestion is that
the deplorable condition of the road
from Lorah to Atlantic, which, by
the way, these boosters are sup
posed to keep up, has turned much
trade from the north away from Att
lantic. The selfishness of a few
i'm Atlantic, who are continually
boosting for the White Pole Road,
and working against the River to
River Road, has driven much trade
awav from that city and will con-
tinue to drive it away until they
properly drag the Atlantic division
of the River to River Road AS
this excursion is a trade promoter,
it is proper to say that much talk
is being heard of extending the
River to River Road west from Ex-
ira, through Elk Horn, and inter
secting the road again at Walnut
saving about ten or twelve miles
to the traveller. Thus cutting At
lantic off the River to River map.
Can the Atlantic boosters afford to
lose this National Highway that is
now on the Ocean to Ocean maps?

MONDAYS RESULTS
Some Noticeable Features OF the
Situation in the State, Arising
from This Weeks Primary.

The sweeping victory of Senator
Kenyon at Mondays primary must
be matter of considerable salts
faction to people who believe in
clean government. So far as many
be judged by his past record, Mi.
Kenyon is one of the ablest, most
honorable, and most fearless men
that Iowa has sent to Washington
in many years.
Lafayette Young, who also ran,
bears birthmark of insincerity.
Whatever may be the truth about
him, the people of Iowa believe that
he will do anything, and say any
thing, that will further his own
political interests. He may or may
not be trustworthy, but he is not
trusted by the people of Iowa, as
even he himself should be able to
see by this time.
Mr.. Holden's strength was a
Disappointing Lieutenant Gov
ernor Clarke, who was made the
standard bearer of the republican
party, is by no means a bad choice.
While he is a politician in the tru-
est sense, he seems to be cleaner
that the average of his kind, un-
less it should be shown later that
he had a hand in the miserable
campaign, carried on by the Iowa
Homestead against Mr.. Holden.
There is one phase of the situa-
ton, however, that deserves atten-
ton. The Iowa tax commission
will report to the next legislature,
and there will probably be revis-
made by Mr.. Clarke not long since
before the Des Moines Real Estate
Association, he left very distinct
Impression that he favored making
the farmers of Iowa pay larger
share of the taxes. How far he
would carry this doctrine is influ-
encing the legislation that is ON
the program can not be said. But
it will be rather disquieting to
think, while this question is in
the foreground, that the governor
may be a man who thinks that the
farmers taxes are too low, i'm
comparison with those of other clas-
ses. 1t is noticeable that he polled
a heavy vote in the cities.

ANITA vs. EXTRA
Anita and Extra Will Cross Bats
in Athletic Park, Sunday Next.
Will Be Interesting Game.

These clubs are so evenly matched
all things considered that it makes
a very interesting series before t
they are thru: This is the first
game Extra has had with Anita this
year. The game will be called at
900 o'clock and bids fair to have
a large attendance.
Come out and enjoy a game where
the umpire's decisions will be taken
without criticism and the shade of
the beautiful trees in the Athletic
Park will add to he pleasure of the
contest

DANISH CELEBRATION
WHY JUNE FIFTH is CHOSEN
BY THE DANES TO CELEBRATE
REMARKABLE EVENT IN DEN.
MARK HISTORY.
Written for the Audubon County
journal by Axel Borjesson.

The Danish Free Constitution"
was signed on June 5. 1S4S, by
King Frederick VII. This constitu-
ton gave to the people of Denmark
absolute self-government, the King.
having the power to name only -
Senators, the rest of the Senate
and the congressman being chosen
by the people by election.
The cabinet is named by the King
but is really governed in all it's ac-
tions by the congress composed of
the two above named bodies of the
congress.
The year 1S4S and a few wears
before that had seen much active
politics and general uprising of
the people all over Europe. The
waves of revolution were sweeping
over the countries. In France, in
Germany, and everywhere, the soil
was fertile and outbreaks were
feared by all the crowned heads.
Concessions were being made to ap-
pease the people and fear of gem
eral war was imminent.
Through the plotting of several
noted politicians, the Provinces,
Slesvig and Holsten rose in arms
against the Motherland, Denmark,
and were aided by Prussia, Bis
marck then Launching his life idea
and beginning his life work, that
OF forming one united Germany.
The people of Denmark then de-
manded that the cabinet be retired
and that they be given their rights
as free and self-governing peo-
pie. A commission was named and
through cooperation between the
people and King Frederick VII, the
constitution was drafted, signed and
accepted on the 5th of June, 1S4S.
All was accomplished without any
armed uprising, true to the nature
OF the peace-loving people.
After the war of 1S4S-5O, and
that of 1854, the Danish people
saw that their self pressss.s. rs =.
and their only hope lay in abolish
ing the old hatred between the
nations and build up the resources
of the country, promote industry
and business through their own
efforts and every achievement.
Every forward step, every prestage,
that Denmark has won has been
through the highly developed SER
vice of good government and good
citizenship that her people has ever
cultivated
When King Frederick VII gave
to the people of Denmark the alb
sclute liberty that they now cherish
| he did not only deliver them from
| hereditary despotism but opened
the way to abandon all the old pre-
jud1ces and the people who framed
and demanded these rights have
shown that THE PEOPLE ONLY
CAN GOVERN.
Perhaps this is the reason why
the Danes make good citizens where
ever they go-anyway the govern
ment by the people is the cause of
the increasing prosperity, the rapid
strides in all civic improvements
that Denmark can show-and show
with pride.
This is why the Danes celebrate
the 5th of June, and all the liberty
loving people of the greatest Land
of Liberty" on earth join them.

BALDWIN ON AIRsHIPs
Believes More. Industries WTI, Be
 Brought Here Because of Them.

Hartford, Feb. 21-At the banquet last night given by the Chamber Of Commerce and the Hartford Auto Dealers Association in connection with the general celebration of Governors day and the automobile show, Cover nor Baldwin said in part:
 ''The automobile has brought to Con necticut one great industry or group of industries. The airship, I believe, is destined in the near future to bring others. You can now buy one fer less than an automobile costs and run it faster. When you can also run it safer, there will be a, loud call for them for private use and enjoy ment.
 But new modes of travel and trans 9ortation on earth and air will never dfsplace the old modes of Ioconotion by water. Water is the cheapest of highways. It builds itself and keeps itself in repair. But it can be made a. better waterway by human help One waterway can be joined to an other by human help and long routes for transportation thus attained. The United States and the States are working together in these directions"
