Seldom have the people of Extra
and all the surrounding country
had a more deserving appeal made
to their civic pride than is contain
ed in this call to help celebrate the

Board of Education that, every man
woman and child who makes Ex-

OUR GREAT DANGER

In Is miles of water, the homes of
15,OOO,000 American citizens and
over seventeen billions of Ameri.-

have the homes of nearly 100000
citizens, over eight hundred millions
OF property; on the Great Lakes.
THE homes of about S,OOO,OOO citize1
with about seven and half billions
of property; in the great Mississi-
ppG Valley, 11,50O,000 citizens and
nearly nine billions of property. In
addition to our mainland exposure
we must protect Cuba, Porto Rico,
and THE Panama Canal.
dm the Pacific Coast States the
homes of nearly 100000 citizens
are exposed, with, nearly three bill
LIONS of property. In addition to
THE mainland, we have the great
treasure house OF Alaska, the great
strategic harbor and islands of Ha-
tnaii, together with the philippine,
Islands, and also the Panama Canal
Whatever may be our political re-
laHions with the philippine Islands
America will always protect the Fiji
pinos, as she protects the Cubans, a.
gainst MILITARY aggression.
As compared with the great ma
dons, our regular standing Army
may be considered negligible guam

to capture from THE rear because
of the lack of mobile army for

an enemy could raid our mainland

on our great cities without any
chance whatever of effective resis-
tance until long after they could re-
tire with their booty, after destroy
ing our navy yards, shipbuilding
yards, arsenals, shipping and public

cities would be spared after the

AN EXTRA GIRL A
NATURAL ELECUT|ON|ST

The Harlan schools have an elocu
tionary prodigy in the person OF
little Marjorie Kroeger, six years
old, a pupil in the first primary.
Reading comes to her as easily as
music to some other children. Her
ability in pose, gesture and ex-
preston are remarkable With your
back ITO 'her you could imagine
you are listening to a girl of sixteen
She comes equally at home in drama
oratory or humor. Prof lGalpin says
i'm his school experience he has not
met a child like her. The stage is
undoubtedly her career. Her parents
say they do not know where she
gets her remarkable ability.

Apples Cheaper Than Doctors

A doctors bill isn't always paid at once. Apples are generally bought for cash.
 But in the long run apples are much cheaper than medical ser vice. The old maxium still holds, ''an apple day keeps the doctor away
 As a race we have never had enough fruit. We live too much on meat and flour. Any doctor will tell yon that there are hun- dred diseases that would abso. lutely disappear if we would a. dopt a fruit diet, say for one meal day.
 Apples agree with everyone. Apples tend to decrease the cost of living increase the flow of bile, and their plentiful use will add to our happiness and length of days by eliminating the dregs of much pesimistic theology that yet clogs our social system.-El- bert Hubbard.

The Warren and Monticello
 Game.

Last Friday the game between Monticello and Warren. on the Warren diamond, was one of the fiercest ever fought in the South. east Arkansas League.
 Chambers, the Monticello pitcher, in the first inning, got off little slow, and, under the ruling of the Umpire, walked three or four men, and allowed three hits, which resulted in foul runs for the Warrenites. This beginning enthused the Warren fans and they yelled themselve hoarse; but as the old saying goes. ''He who laughs last, laughs best,n and Chambers got control of himself, and from that time on until the end of 14 innings he only allowed one hit and famed about 13 or IA men. During this time our Monticello boys got in seven or eight hits, and made four runs, which tied the score.

Aged RecluSe Robbed of Life'S
 Times Savings.

Dizer Blackwell, eighty-nine years old and living alone at his home near Crockett, was vic tim of robbers late Friday after. noon.
 The old gentleman, 1t seems, had gone out to attend to his milking, and when he returned to his lonely abode found that the lock to his trunk had been broken and his savings, amount ing to $7S7.50, gone.
 The sheriff's office was notified and Deputy Sheriff Gullett went to the scene and made investiga- tion but no trace of the guilty parties could be found.-Poca- huntas Times.
 People who read the above will naturally sympathize with this old man; but if he had placed his money in bank at f per cent. interest, he would now have more than 5000 to the good, instead of being left with out a dollar.

Good Road Movement.

On last Saturday evening there was a big meeting of the citizens of Clear Creek Township, at Rock Springs for the purpose of
 discussing plans for good road from the county line near Cor

 by volunteer contributions and work. Many wagons and teams were promised, and the chances are that this part of the county will soon have a good road from this city. County Judge Kimbro, Jndge R. 0. Knox and MT. L. B. Wilson, of this city, attended the meeting.

No Protest This Time.

Without inside information, we take 1t for granted that the game played here last Tuesda V evening between Dermott and Monticello will neither be thrown out or played over.
 The game was called at O. clock, and the Monticellonians went to playing ball in real earnest, and in the 2nd inning made 6 runs, and in the 5th inn ing one run, which gave the To- calls such lead that they be- came careless and allowed the visitors to score one run in the 7th inning. Then, in the eighth our boys piled up two more runs, and quit, giving the visitors four more runs in the ninth, just to make them feel good.
 Up to the 7th inning, Dozier, who held the mound for the locals, pitched a shut out and kept the hits well scattered. After this the visitors succeeded in getting four hits off Dozier, to eleven hits by the locals off Gaylon and Mullin, who pitched for the Dermott team. Ham, mons, for the locals, got three hits, and culpepper, of the home team, got in two hits, one of them a home-run. Smith and Curl, of the locals, both got two base hits; as, also, did McWil- liams, for the visitors.
