Thrown Over Machine
MAX Davis Collides with Auto while
Driving Motorcycle to State Fair
but Is Not Seriously Hurt.

Max Davis escaped serious injury
by a marrow margin while enroute
for the state fair last "Wednesday
afternoon.
In company with Glenn Hunt he
was travelling by the White Pole
Road from Atlantic to Des Moines.
AT a point near Des Moines, while
descending hill, he met an auto,
and found himself unable to get
out Of the road owing to the skid
ding of his machine. The result was
a head-on collision, i'm which he
was un-seated and thrown over his
machine, but not seriously hurt
The auto went into the ditch.
While the young men were still
standing where the accident had oc-
CURED, another auto approached. In
attempting to climb the hill, it skid
ded from the track and turned tur-
tie, but no ole was hurt.
The foregoing seems a fairly good
answer to the statement made by
the Atlantic News-Telegraph this
weeek that the White Pole Road
eastward is better than the ri
yer to River Road.

HOLDING A CAR UP
Two Extra Men Let Audubon Auto
Sit Down on Them Awhile, Sun
day Afternoon.

Messrs. Jack Coz and Walter Mey
ers camped for awhile under Charlie
Whites car at Oakfield, Sunday af-
ternoon.
The machine had been taken cut
for q trial spin after being repaired
at the Park Garage. As it turned
the corner at Oakfield, it also
turned turtle, and the occupants
found themselves underneath and
unable to wriggle out. So they de-
cided to remain there awhile until
something turned up.
In due season another auto passed
and the Imprisoned men were res
cued and brought forth again to
the light Of day.
They are little the worse for the
experience, the only complaint SC
far heard from them being that the.
were unable to enjoy the land
scape properly owing to the obstruc.
ted view.

A GROUCHY BUNCH
Passengers on Rock Island Train
Given Several Hours for Fasting
and Meditation on Thursday Last.

The engine on the Rock Island
train broke down, came to sud-
den stop, and refused to bulge
another foot, down near Lorah last
Thursday forenoon. "a
A considerable number of pas
sengers were aboard the train
bound for stations up the line. And
they had to wait while the Rock
Island Company could make the
raise of another locomotive.
1t was some" wait, too. High
noon came and went with nothing
to eat in sight except grass and
green corn. And not until about
three O'Clock was the fast broken
and the train set in motion. 1t
was tired, hungry, and groachy
bunch that travelled up the branch
that afternoon, according to reli.
able reports. ,.,

A WEARY WAYFARER
Audubon Physician Finds Fellow
Citizen Travelling Afoot Down in
Cass County.

DIR. Brooks could hardly believe
his eyes when, on returning from a
professional trip to Lewis last
Thursday, he met James Law, one
of his fellow citizens Of Audubon,
'hooang it" along a country road
down by Lorah in Cass County.
1t was really none other than Mr..
law, and there was also a really
sound and sufficient reason for
the stunt he was pulling off. He
was one of the passengers. whose
train was stopped by a broken en-
gine, and having become weary with
waiting, had gone to a farm house
to summon aid by phone from Au-
dubon. He got ride through, and
didn't have to wait any longer
either.

PUPILS GET BUSY
Extras Juvenile Population Gather
from Everywhere to Attend Open
ing of School, Tuesday Morning.

Ihe familiar, vibrant note of the
old school bell Tuesday morning
announced the opening of new
school wear.
Extras public schools this year
are in charge of Supt Hoyman, wnt
has been spending the summer at
Chicago University, but who ar
rived on the scene in time to or
ganize things properly.
Other teachers are as follows:
Miss Ethel E. Curtis, of Atlantic
principal of high school.
Miss Grace B. Dark, special teach
er of music and high schoo
branches.
Miss Ora E. Johnson, of Casey
teacher in fifth room.
Miss Anna Hanson, of Extra
teacher in fourth room.
Miss Banche E. Noon, of Extra
teacher in third room.
Miss Clara Whitted, of Extra
teacher im second room.
Miss Marie Madsen, of Extra
teacher in first room.
As far as one cam judge. Extra
has this year a notably strong corps
of instructors. Otherwise the term
opens under auspicious circumstan-
ces. There is reason for expecting
the year to prove most profitable
one to the Juvenile population OF
the community. BY cooperation
between parents and teachers the
realization of this can be made GER
tain. With their children's futures
the stake, parents can afford this
much.

HEADS HIGH SCHOOL
Extra Girl, Who Has Won Her
Way Upward to Responsible
Place, Leaves to Take Up Years
Work.

Miss Ethel Hicks, who left Sat
urday to take up years work at
Belmond, Iowa, is making an un-
usually creditable record in educa-
tional work.
She is principal of the High School
at Belmond, which is coe of the
thriftiest and most progressive
towns of fifteen hundred in Iowa.
1t is a community in which the ed
ucational spirit is alive, as is indi-
Gated by the fact that the Iiigh
School enrolment is about one hun
dred thirty.
To make ones way in the face
Of difficulties up to such a posi-
tion is not easy. Neither is i.
easy to fill the place creditably af-
ter reaching it. Miss Hicks has
done both.

Old Settlers Reunion
Held at Audubon Saturday with
Very Large Attendance. Enjoy
able Day Spent by the Old 'Uns.

Last Saturday the weather was
propitious for an out-of-door pic
mic. The old settlers of Audubon
County had been called together by
the Committees in charge of the
Old Settlers Association of Audu-
bon County to meet in Audubon's S
beautiful Park; and they congre-
gated at an early hour to listen to
the well-arranged program prepared
for this occasion.
ALL who participated in the pro-
gram responded with pleasure. The
speeches although not generally of
the flowery kind were good solid
talks by those who had participa-
ted in the organization, growth and
progress of the County from an
early period to the present time.
Many of Audubon County's pioneers
were there. and their face. seamed
with pleasure as each "reminiscences
was given.
The music was very appropriate
and pleasing The beautiful songs
were rendered in such a manner
that they were frequently encored
and in all cases the performers re-
turned with songs more beautiful
df possible.
The solos rendered by Mrs. Fred
Cotton were highly appreciated by
the listeners. They were of the
kind that everybody enjoyed
plete in rhythmic, melodic, dyma-
mic and technic.
nhe sports in the afternoon were
carried out according to program
and were enjoyed by all the contes-
tants and onlookers.
The social part of the affair; wiz,
dinner and mingling together of the
old friends, was very pleasing to all
and many thanks were given the
committees in charge and hopes
were expressed for as good meet
ing to be held next year.

WINTER WHEAT IDEA
Shaw Syndicate Makes Another Sub
stantial Payment on RAILROAD and
Gets Another Thirty Day Exten-
sion,

The syndicate, headed by Leslie
M. Shaw, came through again last
week with payment of twent' five
thousand dollars to apply o the
purchase price of the Atlantic
Northern & Southern Railway.
This is the second payment of
this amount that has been made
within about thirty days, and the
creditors have become hopeful that
the purchasers will be able to carry
the rest of the deal through.
1t means more of course than the
mere purchase Of an isolated rail-
way. In fact the line bought is to
become merely a feeder for Des
Moines-Omaha line, which it is
now thought will be built between
the Rock Island and Burlington
Lines through the south central
parts Of Pottawatlamie. Case and
Adair Counties.

10WA'S NEW POWER
The Mississippi River at Keokuk
Henceforth to Do the Work of
Three Hundred Thousand Horses.

1t is not generally known that
the largest power plant in the en-
tire world is nearing completion
within the boundaries of the state
of Iowa.
1t is located at Keokuk, at the
foot of the Des Moines Rapids i'm
the Mississippi River. The dam
is a tremendous affair, stretching
across the river, just where the tur-
bulent, ushing water becomes quiet
and peaceful again. 1t is one and
three-fourths miles in length anil
rises fifty feet above the river bed.
In it are built steel flood gates ele-
ven by thirty feet to let the wa
ters through when they rise too
high.
The power house is 1913 feet wide
and more than a quarter of a mile
long. In it are thirty monster tur-
bines, each of which will develop
ten thousand horse power, so that
the entire plant will produce 30O,-
900 horse power.
This is three times as much power
as is now used for manufacturing
purposes in the entire state of Iowa.
st. Louis, which is 1875 miles ava
has al.eady contracted for large
ancu It the power developed But
1t is certain that great many fac
tories are coming to Iowa because

The first turbines will begin to
turn in about a ysar.

PAY fiORE MONEY
Attention of Western Iowa Farmers
Being Focused upon a Crop whica
Is Able to Take Its Turn with
| Corn.

The winter wheat idea is gain
ing considerable headway this year
among the farmers OF western Iowa.
1t is not due to the fact that this
years crop has been a record
breaker. But the bumper crop
has made 1T conspicuous. and it is
just being discovered that one year
with another it averages up pretty
well as compared with corn.
There is field adjoining Chris
wold in Cass County, which is being
plowed this week for the FOURTH
consecutive crop Of winter wheat.
And this years crop, which was the
third one, averaged forty-two and
a half bushels per acre. And it is
mot different from other fields in
appearance either.

A BRILLIANT STRANGER
Oslifunia's Governor, Now Cam
didate for Vice President, y Fear
less Advocate of Righteous Gov
drnment-

Governor johnson of California
who is candidate for vice presi-
dent on the progressive ticket with
Mr.. Roosevelt, is stranger to ma,
ny people of the Middle West.
| He is a splendid type of states
man of the kind that has not hest
tated to stand fearlessly where dan
ger was greatest in the battle fol
honest principles and against the
tyranny of bosses and machine
politics. He is man of unusual
ability and no public man has q
cleaner or more enviable record.
From his speech of acceptance
the Journal quotes the paragraph
below, which give true impress
sion of the sincerity of the man and
the fervor with which he has throw
himself into the battle for the
Right as it is given him to see the
Right inthis year Of 1912.
There is a new era, new light
new struggle that is abroad now;
there is a new political creed; it
Is a political creed that this great
man, Colonel Roosevelt. preachc
even when he was in the white
house; the great creed Of equal on
portunity, OF fair deal for all hu-
man kind. Of giving to every child
dn the race Of life an equal start;
It is the creed in the last analysis
of humanity that is now the creed
of one Of the greatest national par
ties in the United States OF Amer
lea.
IF in one little particle. if in
one small degree, may tighten the
burden of this great man, this brav.
fighter. who is today doing the
greatest and the bravest thing in
his career. then shall feel well
repaid in this campaign.
My one desire shall be from now
until November with what virility
what force, what fighting strength
have, to follow him under his lead
ership, to go forward to better and
purer things in this country of ours
and to win the battle that you haVe
just commenced in this nation" 7"

BACK FROM MISSOURI
Extra People Return Again after
Pleasant Visit with Relatives and
Friends to the Southwark.

Nick Mertes and family and Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Navratil returned
Friday from their pleasure trip
through Missouri, where they went
to visit elatives and fiends.
The first stop was at villisca,
Iowa, to see Dr.. Graf and wife.
Then they journeyed on to Marys-
vile, Missouri, where they stopped
at the William Duffing home and
while there took in the Chautauqua
which was in session at that time.
They heard one of het best women
Orators from st. Louis. Mr.. Dof-
fling and family are we'll pleased wit
the town and the country and are
all looking fine. Mr.. Doffing is
in the Real Estate business. From
there they journeyed to Kansas Ci-
ty and then, to Lamonte, where Nick
Merter. formerly of Extra, and Will
lie Jensen, formerly of Carroll, have
a fine business in a plumbing shop
and a garage. where they handle
the Overland machines. Charley
Wenck and wife have a fine res
taurant and bakery with good
trade, the latter being sister
of Mrs. Nick Mertes, and Matt
Doffing, formerly of Extra, has
tine farm. Mr.. Philip Jenson is
clerking in the restaurant while
his parents have retired and are
taking life easy.
While among those good people
the only fault found was that they
had to depart so soon. as they want
ed to take in the Des Moines
Fair. There was no bridge across
the River so they had to go across
on ferry boat, (which they said
was the best auto ride they ever
had when they were going at the
rate of fifty miles a minute. When
they got to Indianola they were
rained in and had to stay until the
next day but made Des' Moines in
time to see good crowd and a
good time as Nick and Frank al
ways do, returning home Friday
evening covering a distance Of
mine hundred miles. They report
the best road they struck was the
River to River Road.
