RETIRE TO EXTRA AND
ENJOY AN OLD AGE

There is a time in life that comes
to every matured man or woman
when the best of health and acti-
vities of the body are replaced with
decadance of those virtues, and
man and woman begin to feel,
more and more, as time passes, that
it is only matter of perhaps a
few years or months until they
must pass their business affairs in
to the hands of others. Then,
why trudge along longer, robbing
your costitution of it's vitality, day
by day, that, if properly conserved
would make joyous to yourself and
all around you the declining years
of your lives?
1t is true saying, when the
aged begin to live they soon die. /"
So many put off the things that
pertain to the lengehening of their
lives until their energy is nearly
gone and they die from exhaustion.
Them why keep up this terrific
drain on your constitutions? You
are aware it can't last but few
years more at the most.
Here is little city, Extra, The
City Beautiful" nestling among the
babbling brooks and fragrant
groves and flowers, where there are
churches and schools, in fact every
opportunity needed to make your
last days the best till you reach the
golden shore. Everything congen-
ial to retired farmer is right
here in this pretty little city and
is being enjoyed by many who have
already taken the advantage that
we offer to the man who is trying
to lengthen his life by living among
loving and affectionate people.
Think it over, old friends, move
to town, throw off dull care and
exposure to life's storms. Enjoy
your beliefs to the fullest extent
and when you are nearly done with
things mortal, you will have the
consoling thought that you did that
which the Journal advised; passed
the farm over into younger and
stronger hands and enjoyed the
last decade of your life in Extra.

Monday evening about $50, fire
broke out in the creamery. With
customary alarm and promptness
the fire company responded to the
call The incipent conflagratiom was
soon under control; but it proved
rather difficult to extinguish the

fire was in the ceiling and roof,

NEW ELKHORN CUTOFF
FOUND SATISFACTORY

The official inspection party
which went over the Riyer-to-Riv-
er Road last Saturday reported it
in perfect condition.
The principal object of the trip
was to inspect the new cutoff from
Extra to Walnut That it was found
satisfactory is indicated from the
report in Sundays World Herald,
from which we quote below:
Edwin Delahoyde, treasurer OF
the road, and DR.. j. G. Newton, dl-
rector for Audubon county, were
among the big crowd that welcom-
ed the party at Extra. A banner
of welcome was stretched across the
main street of the town.
Director Newton, Mr.. Delahoyde,
J. M. Dimick, E. c. Wilson, Rev. G..
"A. Lawton, John N. Christensen and
r. D. Cotton were members of a
party that led the way over the
new short cut of the road from
Extra to Walnut, via Elkhorn. S.
C. Pedersen, of Elkhorn, choice OF
the Shelby county boosters as di-
rector for Shelby county; Willis
Rattenburg, Carl S. Christensen, j..
C.. johnson, j. P. Nelson, Anton G..
Boose, Thorn Madsen and Hal john
son ioined the tour at Elk Horn af-
ter welcoming the party there. The
whole crowd sped onward then to-
ward Walnut. Ten cars were in
line.
s.Elkhorn, the principal town on
the new cutoff, was out with a. big
crowd to give rousing welcome to
the party. A banner inscribed, "Wel
come River to River Road Boost
ers,'' was displayed prominently.
"L. j. Neff, mayor of Walnut and
vice president of the River-to-Riv-
er Road, met the party at Elkhorn
and piloted it to his home town.
"Bert N. Mills, of Des Moines,
secretary of the River-to-River
Road is at the head of the inspec-
ton party. He reports that the
highway is greatly benefited by
the new Elkhorn cutoff, which he
found to be in splendid shape. He
also has high praise for the way the
road is being kept up in Dallas,
Guthrie, Audubon, Shelby and Pot
tawattamie county since last year,
he states.
."The new cutoff from Extra to
Walnut via Elkhorn is already we'll
marked and easy to follow in spite
of the fact that it was officially
designated as a part of the road
less than a month ago. The Wal
nut Commercial club put up the
money for fine set of sign boards
from Walnut to Eklhorn. Mayor
Neff himself put them up People
living along the new route are
buying the right-of-way for sever
al round corners and short cuts
which will replace sharp turns.
The new cutoff takes the place
of the old route via Atlantic. The
Atlantic route is retained, however
as part of the official road. The
new short cut saves about mine
miles and at least twenty sharp
turns"

Nobody Knows P~ostoffioe Deficit.

Boston Herald: Former Postmaster
General Hitchcock replies to the
recent attack upon his conduct Of the
department by Mr.. Burleson, his sue
cessor in Office.
The Herald believes Burleson's at
tack was ill-considered, petty and IL
logical. At the same time, certain Of
Mrs. Hitchcock's phrases are open to
criticism, too No man should talk
about the p~ostoffice departments
meeting expenses under any admins
%tration, except in a humorous column.
The deficit of which Mr.. Hitchcock
speaks is a joke. The department
keeps no books worthy of the name.
All the public buildings used for
postoffices from one end of the country
to the other are supplied out of the
general revenue, and not one penny
of their construction, upkeep, etc, is
charged against postal revenue. The
same is true of the great army of
clerks in the postoffice department In
Washington. They are charged to-
sovereignty, just as if they were in
the army or navy. And SO it is
through the postal establishments.
Only such things are charged as pre-
cedent has decreed shall be charged.
The franking privilege in but a small
degree offsets these omissions.
1t is all right to talk about the de-
partment's deficit of So, 100000 or
whereabouts. The actual deficit. as
any business concern would reckon it,
probably does not fall short of $780,
ooo,o0O a year. But nobody knows!
