WEED LAWS AND
WILD FLOWERS

Riding on the train the other
! day noticed that the section men
We're cutting the weeds along the
track in compliance with the state
law. Clustre after cluster of bril-
liant flowers stood in the midst of
fallen weeds, showing that whoever
swung that scythe purposaly left
the pretty flowers uncut, while he
slashed down the rank weeds. That
section man deserves medal.
The situation is just this: We
must have state weed laws, to com
pei farmehs and railroads to cut
the weeds along the fences and
roadsides and tracks, so that these
places may not be a seed feeding
ground to infest the fields The in
tent of the law is good Most weed
laws are not sufficient. One cutting
a year will never rid us of weeds,
nor can two cuttings, though that
helps.
Buttnefe is another side, the SEN
tim ntal, the beautiful. Our railroad
tracks are about the only places lef
whore we see the beautiful wild
flowers. One cutting year has
not destroyed many of the most
beautiful wild flowers.
Along our roadsides with the per
, petual scraping and the tramping Of
animals, these wild flowers have
largely disappeared and ragweet
and sweet clover cover the ground
But the railroad tracks are verit-
able flower gardens all summer.
May we have many wise and
sentimental section man who will
spare the wild flowers when he cut:
the weeds along the railroad tracks

extra DRUG CO.
CONTEST CLOSED

Never since the big, piano contest
held by the Journal few years
ago has there been so many people
In towa*on a Saturday night as on
last Saturday night The streets
were lined 'on both sides of Broad
way and the Extra Drug Companys
store was crowded with people,.
Several months ago the Extra
Drug Company of which Mr.. Aael
B3rJesssn is manager, conceived an
iIea of trade extens,o on and to car
ry it out for the benefit of his Gus
toners, ensered into contract
with firm in the eastern part of
the state who promoted such bust
SIS. There were five young ladies
who entered the contest and for
several months they have brought
business to the store and have
b3en credited with a vast number
of votes in return.
The elimination came Saturday
ght when the awards were made
Miss Bertha Young received the
first priza, beautiful Piano. Her
number being 36,039,345. Mrs. Tom
Marlesan received second prize
which was trip to Panama. Her
number was 26,SS77,25. Miss Myr-
tie Grinyer received third prize.
H 3r number WAS 14,992,915.
We believe that the contestants
were satisfied with the management
of the contest, not word of dissat-
isfaction have come to our ears.
Mr.. BorJessen and the Extra Drug
Company are to be congratulate
for bringing much trade to the
town that would have drifted else
where.
Not alone of course, has the
Drug Company had an increase in
their business through this trade
extension, other things were requir-
ed in the homes which were pur-
chased in Extra that perhaps would
not have bsen had this contest not
brought the peopleNhere.

BOND SALE INVAL|-
DATED BY ERROR

Our ne.ghboring city of Harlan
is having a hard time in disposing
|. of it's new school house bonds, and
is being badly hampered in its work
of building. After the election the
bonds We're put ON the market, and
finally sold, but the sale was sub
ject to the o. K. of the buyers leg
al department. This department
found that the election took place
im too short a time after the pub
lication of notice, and that conse-
quently the election was invalidated
The law requires that four weeks
must elapse between the time OF
the first publication of the election
notice and the election, whereas
lications in weekly paper which
in this case took but three weeks
and one day. Now the school board
is back to the place it started at
and a new election will be called.
However some of the kickers, feel
that they have chance to win now
and hot fight is promised.
We wonder how many Extra peo-
pie fully appreciate the task a boar,
has set for it when such improve
ments are to be made Our board
carried the work through without "a
single error on their part and we
never look at our new building witt
out thinking of it as not alone a
monument to the generosity of the
town, but also to the ability Gand
integrity of our school board and its
employees.

OF the undertaking parlor for John
Nelson for the last four years. has

Furniture Company, of Perry, Iowa,

generations of the Gamble family,

proud of such an excellent promo

all one sided for in MIR. Gore the

HOPE DEFERRED
MAKES HEART SICK

Last fall we published letter
from State game warden, Henshaw.
which contained promise to stock
the Nishna lotna at Extra with
fish In the spring. Spring has come
and gone with no action taken, and
| an investigation disclosss the fact
ht he has even forgotten his pro-
mise. This has led to- an investiga-
tion and we are constrained to say
with the poet "What fools ye NOR
tails be-" Why did we believe any
thing he told us, when he has re-
cord OF broken promises that COW
ers the whole state? Why couldn't
We have been wise enough to have
pigeon holed his letter long enough
to look up his reputation? Henshaw
who openly announces that SO far
as his department is concerned
there will be no prosecutions under
Che Federal Migratory Bird Act.
Had we gone into his record we
would have thrown his letter into
the waste, basket with the other
trash where it so properly belongs.
We hope that some day this depart
ment w IL have q head that will re-
alize that the only way 70 do busi-
nsss is on the square, and that lies
and subterfuge do not get one any
Where.
G. w. White who is deputy for
this part of the county we do not
know, but if he values his reputa-
tion in the least he will get busy
and demand that no letters be sent
INTO his territory that do not tell
the truth. We hope that he is on
the square, but doubt that he will
be able to hold his job for long if
he is.
We know some of the difficulties
with which this department has to
contend but feel that promise
should be a promise whenever and
wherever given, whereas in this
case there has been no intention of
fulfillment.
