IT WILL HAVE TO
COME TO THIS

The items which enter into the
publications of newspaper have a..
so felt the upward tendency and
while it costs more to issue coun-
try paper each week than a few
years ago. Subscription price has
not been increased. The time is
coming when this will be changed
of necessity and the publishers of
many country newspapers have been
considering for sometime the raising
of the subscription price.
The present price received for
the ordinary country paper does
not pay the cost of the white pap
er used, and as the advertising is
always limited with such papers the
burden falls on the publisher.
Prices on farm produce groceries,
meat, daily labor in fact tie pro-
duct of all lines has doubled, vet
the printer is receiving the same
little old dollar for his paper that
was paid ten years ago. An increase
OF 25c or SOC for each subs eription
would be hardly noticed, but the
aggregate would mean much to the

BOYS HOME FROM
OUTING IN EXTRA

Troop No. of the Atlantic Boy
Scouts with Saoutma:ter Sperry
went on few days outing asst week
returning Saturday forenoon. They
went to Extra, where they were
royalty received by Scoutmaster
Voss, flying arrow of the moose
patrol. The Atlantic boys camping
outfits, tents, haversacks canteens
etc. which they bought with money
earned at their stands, failed to ar
rive in time for this trip. A little
disappointment like that didn't
squelch the enthusiasm of these boy
in the least
The Extra scouts aided them in
securing coed camping grounds and
in many minor details. The first
evening Scoutmaster Vo.s asked if
his boys might have possession of th
grounds for short while. They
stationed out guards and proceeded
tc pitch their own tents, which late
they turned over to Atlantic scouts.
They remained long enough to give
some good maneuvering and then
jolly time at games followed until
taps were blown at 9:3o.
Friday evening they were guests
at the Extra troops headquarters
where talks We're made to the bows
by Scoutmasters yoss and sperry.
The Atlantic boys agreed it was the
best time they had had in their lives
and are anxiously looking forward
more good times together.

IMPROVEMENTS IN THE
LAST FIVE YEARS

During the last five years The
City Beautiful has added many last
ing improvements to the town. The
improvements in and around the
park with it's concrete base and gut
ters, will be enduring The miles
of concrete walks all over town are
admirable and the concrete cutters
both sides of main street with their
finished sides as high as the side
walks isl not only ornamental to
the streets but will be useful for
years. The electric lighting of the
town is something grand, in that
the arrangement of three complete
arches across main street each be
ing beautified by thirty six bulls,
make a magnificent sight.
The cinder road from town to
depot covered with sand is a boon
to the poor burdened horses The
new concrete bridge across Davids
Creek is a thing of substantial be-
auty, and as enduring as time. The
new-that replaced the old-Roth-
child elevator is building to be
proud of.
The new forty thousand dollar
school house that is now i'm pro-
cess of erection with depal tments
for teaching and undermining the
youngsters, for the life that is be-
fore them, is fast being completed
The structure was necessary, by the
over crowding of the old building
Consolidation which is to come
ia being provided for in the new
arrangem ent of the building. Every
child of school age within a radius
of six to eight miles should, and
ought to be taken to and from this
temple of learning daily. Extra i'll
pleased to be of assistance to her
neighbors in providing such a COM
modious and sanitary building. Ex-
ira's comm ercial club, ever alert for
bigger and better good things for
Extra, are diligently watchful and
studiously advancing every worthy
proposition for the benefit CT the
town.

are fit for the junk heap or the

The fix lures as we understand
were the second hand stuff of anot b
er system; taking ours out and put

Many blame the girls at the cen
tral for the poor service, but the
girls cannot supply the current nor
repair the earned old phones.
1t is aggrayating to pay for a
service that you do not get
To be told the line is busy is
all right, it is business. But to be
called to the phone in an urgent

TROOP VISIT
ING OUR BOY SCOUTS

Last week this city was favored
by visit of the Troop No. 2 At
lantic Division Boy Scouts of Amer
lea who said they came up because
the Extra Scouts already have a
reputation of being wide awake pro
gressive and soon to be one of the
best camps of scouts in the state,
and that being the reason they
would come up and learn as much
as they could in preference to go
ing to some other place Our boys
ought to appreciate such honor be-
ing paid to it by a rival camp. This
is how they did it. The Atlantic
scouts did not arrive in time for
them to bring up SO they thought
they would try sleeping out of
doors. Our camp was very quiet in
regard to the matter but all met
at club room at o'clock, was told
off in divisions and went down anG
set up their tents for the Atlantic
boys benefit. Placed a guard around
their camp and surprised them I'm
general. After which they went out
to the bail diamnnd and proceeded
to give some demonstrations and
then played games etc.
Friday night the Extra scou+s S wer
payed a visit by the Atlantic Scouts
at their h. adquarters. After the
meeting the Extra Scouts gave some
more demonstrations and then a Sc
we're thunder shower came and they
went double quick to the ball
diamond ard took down their tents
and sent the boys up to their cluI
room where they stayed over nigh
leaving ON the s o'clock train the
next morning, expressing themselves
very much in debt to our boys for
what they had done and said that
they would have had some dead bo
down thee if they would not have
had the tents as it was very cold. I
Extra Scouts treatment of the
vssfting scouts showed to them
that they live up to No. of the
Scout law. GA Scout is friendly
which is: He is friend to all and
a brother to every other scout.
Good work boys, keep it up.

THEY ARE NOT Salts
FLED WILL TRY AGAIN


There was a terrific game of base
ball at the recent knights of Pythias
Picnic
In the write up of the Jollification
we omitted giving the score of each
side because the reports were so
conflicting and the proverbial grain
of salt not being at hand when the
big ones were told we concluded to
omit all.
But this does not suit the players
and in order to complete the item
and perhaps to give the correct re-
port, as given by the captain of the
winning side we will say that the
score stood "A to nothing in favor
Of Captain John Nelson's side.
