MOST POPULAR ROAD
ACROSS ALL IOWA

1t Is certainly gratifying to US
poor inland townsmem to see 90
many tourists crossing Iowa by the
River to River Road Route. That's
why we have put it into the Pink
of Condition for travellers who ap-
preciate am auto ride free from
over the shortest route. For in
stance: For the first rs miles
west Of Des Moines our River-Riv-
er Road crosses railways just four
times while our close competitor
crosses 20 times in that distance.
Then we have a cutoff that reduces
our mileage, Des Moines to Council
Bluffs 9 1-2 miles, over our closest
competitor. The excellent scenery
that one enjoys while passing over
the River to River Road as travel
ers occasionally remark, "It brings
tranquility to the mind, away from
business cares, with a full conf
dence in his safety while travelling
over boulevard of intrinsic nat
ural beauty. That's my opinion OF

OUR REST ROOM
is NOW ASSURED

BY the perseverance of Com
mittee of the Treble Clef Club, a
real Rest Room has at last been Sc
cured that will be pleasure to
amy farmers wives or daughters, af-
ter becoming tired from the pleas
ures that the streets afford.
For some time the Commercial
Club has been talking about provid-
ing a Rest Room even to the ex-
tent of building one, for the occa-
sion, but first tried to locate one,
for the occasion but first tried to
locate one from some other source.
Failing in that, TO the present time,
caused the Treble Clef Club to de-
monstrate their ability to locate one
which they are pleased to make
known to every lady visiting our
town. 1t is located in the Photo
graph Gallery building on the west
side of the Public Park.
Come in, ladies. Bring your chill
dren and make yourselves to home.
AS fast as possible every couven-
tence that will make the building
a REAL REST ROOM will be pro-
vided FREE of CHARGE at all
times.
We certainly congratulate the
Treble Clef Club in taking such am
interest in our little city's comfort
as to establish the Rest Room as it
is some thing that Extra has need
ed for years.
The building will be open to the
public one week from next Saturday

Eli HAMSEN'S BIG
SALE A SUCCESS

Did you attend Mr.. Eli Hansem's
Big Sale last Monday near Bnayton?
1t was one of those sales that was
gotten up by man who has lab
ored all his life, from early morn to
lata at night to accumulate a com
petence by which he could live a
retired life in his old age. Not
Wishing to be annoyed with busi-
ness matters hereafter he sold his
farm and held this sale to distri-
butte his PERSONAL property with
those who wanted it.
Mr. Hansen is known for his
! great and grand traits of character,
his honesty of purpose and his
sterling integrity. The Journal adj
vised Mr.. Hansen TO carry a display
!, ad of his sale, believing it would
attract more buyers and it did SO.
The buyers attracted by the ad cam
from near and far. The number of
!. GUESTS WHO CAME FOR LUNCH
ONLY were Less in proportion to the
actual buyers than usual. The ex-
cellent bidding on the cattle par
/. ticularly was beyond Mr.. Hansen's
fondest anticipation In fact every
thing sold we'll for which he re
turns his sincere thanks.
What would a man say to his wife
If she was to leave her $50 sewing
machine out in the yard over night
in rain storm? Well, he would
'do plenty if she persisted in
leaving it out i'm the weather. And
yet the same Lord of Creation has
! left his farm machinery standing

a happy disposition that knows no
grief, nor anxiety, Cat least his
sunny face reflects the Internal calm
