the anniversary of the floundering
of the big vessel. The ladies who
will cast this tribute to the mem
ory OF their dead are Mrs. jacques
Totrelle, Mrs. Henry B. HARMS
and Mrs. George Thorne. The la
dies plan to sail for Europe, APP

the approximate section Of the
banks where the great liner went
down they will sing Nearer MY
God to Thee" as the flowers fall

EXTRA A BUSY PLACE
Exercising Her Right to the Signifi-
cant Title, "The Best Trading
Point on the HAP"


Readers of the Journal have long
been aware of the fact that Extra
ds actually one of the best and
busiest trading points in existence.
Week by week this truth is being
emphasized. Extra is not large
town, but it lis doing a BIG bust
ness. 1t ships more stock than
the neighboring city of Atlantic.
1t has the largest and best select
ed stocks of merchandise in Aud
ubon County. It's business and
professional people are wide-awake
as an inspection of the columns of
the Journal will show 1t is very
doubtful indeed If there is in the
entire state of Iowa a town of
equal size, which carries so COM
plete an assortment of the very
best brands of high quality mer-
chanddse and farm supplies and of
fers them to it's patrons at such
reasonable prices. 1t is certain
that no town i'm this part of the
state is doing it.

guess that was right dor we knew
that he had been granted a di-
vorce a few weeks ago. But, as
lovers laugh at locksmiths,' so
these young people hied away to

and partook of it's marriage laws.
George was the foreman for the

Mischievous

While the Easter program was
being rendered at the Congrega-
tional Church last Sabbath eve
ming, some one or more persons,
intent on perpetrating a joke, on
the congreg cation, so impregnated
the air in the church with snuff
that 1T affected nearly everyone
present. Coughing, sneezing, rub
bing the eyes, while many gasped
for breath, seemed to be the fate
of nearly all present. If this was
done for a joka by young men, as
is now supposed, then the joke
smith is carrying it too far and
must in the name of humanity be
subjected to an offended law. 1t
is pleasure to see young and

EXTRA LAD HURT
Pearl Andrews, Son Of Senator
Andrews Injured in Four Horse
Team Runaway. In Montana.
Shoshoni, Wyo., Mar.


Dear Dad:-Thought would
write you line and give you some
thing to decipher, writing this
with my left hand and lying
down. The reason for it is that
last Saturday l was hauling rock
down to my place to rip-rap the
river bank, and had ON four hor-
ses to get up the hill. Coming back
they ram away and threw me out,
throwing my right elbow out of
joint, breaking the big bone i'm
the arm between my shoulder and
elbow, breaking my nose and bruis-
ing the left side of my face some.
Today is the first have opened
my left eye since the accident.
Monday it was just a big bunch
the size of a pint cup and red as
fire. My front teeth were also
driven back a ways. My left shoul-
der and elbow were bruised and a.
big patch was torn off the back of
my left hand. My left leg and
chest we're also bruised little.
The doctor came out the same
day and put me together and star
ted me going. He came out again
yesterday and gave my arm the
perma nent set, said it was Joined
perfectly. He hasn't got but one
hot1er out OF me, and that was
yesterday when he rum a pin in
my arm while pinning a bandage.
I am not writing this to alarm
you i'm anyway, but to let you know
Just how am in case you hear
Of it from someone else. / have
not missed day walking around a
little, went Gear to the barn today.
What surprises me is that 1
wasn't killed outright. Think. it
was a case Of too many oats. The
horses hadn't dome anything for
several days and just wasn't big
and husasya nIough to. hold them.
The cattle are most all up above.
and looking fine. Haven't lost
hoof.
The river started to break up
about the 10th, then the weather
changed and has been changealble
ever since. / think it will come a
flying now. There is still too
much frost for field or ditch work.
We have all our seed ready tho
and cam crack in pretty quick. We
sold over 5000 dollars of clean oats
from the small bin and kept over
1000 lbs for our own seed. Then we
sent off and got some fine spring
wheat and enough Ciderbracker bar
ley for the garden patch.
Claude got a card from Phil
the other day saying he would
not be down for sometime.
understand they have closed down
up there. think likely Phil is
helping with salvage work for
few days. Understand the B. and
M. viii handle the mail from Than
rop to- Bonneville after May 1st;
also see by the Casper papers the
contracts for grading are all to
be completed by August 1st from
Powder River to Orin Junction
Bill Harmed has "a mile of it and
is down there neady when the
frost is out.
Guess that is al. Don't worry
about me.
