Instances where the law had no de-
torrent effect on expenses while many
growing communities were actually
seriously injured through inability TO
secure absolutely necessary funds. In
other words. a rate limit law served
of no real beneht unless some pro-
vision were made for those localities
which Impoverished tax lists and also
tor progressive growing communities
which Justly need increased levies.
The proper limitation was one which
anects not the tax rate but the
amount Of money To be expended and

the amount In the previous year plus

WILLIAM COCHRAN AN
OLD SETTLER HERE

Mr. William Cochran and little
son of Anita, came over Saturday
and celebrated in Extra.
William is one of the very few old
settlers of Cameron township in this
county now living. He came to Cam
eron twp. the same year that the
writer "dropped in'' and was near
neighbors in those days being only
four miles apart. William ''batched"
and broke up the prairie that his
father had purchased during the
spring and commenced to model it
into a farm. While talking over old
times William said eli the spring
Of 1876 Mr.. Wicher of Davenport
a aivis5d my father and Mr.. Micheal,
to go out to Audubon Comfy and
look over nine sections of land in
Cameron township that he offered
him at four dollars per acre at 5
per cent and twenty years to pay
it. "The old gentlemen came out,
looked the land over, and on ac-
count of wild nature of the coun-
ty concended they would not invest
on so large a scale but each bought
enough to start up his boys in this
new contry. These lands to-day are
worth from $3.50. to $175. per acre.
There was no Audubon in those
days, Atlantic was the nearest rail-
way town on the south and nearly
forty miles away. Mail was sup
piled on stage route from Carroll to
Extra. Supplies to had to be pro-
cursd from these points, but a
blacksmith came to the neighbor-
hood and he was kept busy.

FERN ANDERSEN
AT ANITA

Fern Andersen, wife and young
est daughter drove over from Audu-
bon Sunday to visit his sister, Mrs.
G. o. Gipple and family. They were
accompanied by Miss Matte Baker
of Saltwater Oklahoma, sister of
Mrs. Andersen, who was for many
years resident of this township,
living with her parents, Charles Ba-
ker and wife, on farm northeast
Of Anita. Miss Baker was a gradu-
ate of Anita high school with the
cl ISIS of 1902, moving from here
with her parents that year to go to
Oklahoma, where she has taught in
the public schools for the past thir-
teen years. Her father, Chas Baker
passed away four years ago and her
mother last spring. Miss Baker has
many friends here and will probably
visit them this summer as she will
remain with her sister at Audubon
for sometime. She was reelected
to her posotion in Saltwater Okla,

will take vacation and not teach

Der increased the profit of his dairy
herd OYER 1900 per cent in a single
month. The tester found, at the end
of the first months test, that the
owner of this particular herd was
feeding an eNtravagant and wasteful
mixture of feeds. A change was re-
commended and adopted, and as a
result profit of only $2.47 on the
herd in December, 1914, was trans
formed in.o profit of $4O.37 for
January, 1915. In the second month
the COWS produced 163.5 pounds
more milk, and 2S.S pounds more
butter fat than in the first month,
yet the cost of feed was nearly
$4,000 less in the second month AL
so. it IS interesting to note that the
price of butter fat was only 50 cts.
per pound in January, as against 81
cents in December.

MRS. PETER BECK
SERIOUSLY INJURED

While returning to her home one
half mile north of Brayton, Tuesday
evening, after spending the day in
Extra, Mrs. Peter Beck suffered
serious injury. She was driving an
old family horse, which was though
to be ifectly safe, but on their
homeward journey the horse took
fright at a gasoline engine that was
pumping water few miles south OF
Extra and kicked the dash board
out. Ibis scared Mrs. Beck and she
tried to get out of the buggy but in
doing SO she became entangled in
the wheel and was dragged some
d stance. On examination it was
found that one leg was broken in
two places and SO seriously mang-
led that it is feared amputation is
nee sssary.
Mrs. Beck was accompanied by a
neighbor lady, Mis-. B. Hansen and
bay, and they had been visiting
during the day with their friends,
Hans Hansen and wife in the east
part of town. Mrs Beck was carry
ing the baby and when she under
took to get out of the buggy she
threw the child in the grass to
save it's life, where it was found
later uniniured, and playing with
Mrs. Beck's hat. Mrs. Hansen es-
capped injury also.
This sad accident has cast a
gloom over the friends and relatives
of Mrs. Beck. The Journal family
who hold her in highest esteem,
extend sympathy.

years, without a skip.
When the wolves held a daily

When the "grubs" gave way to the
golden grain and clover field, he

EXTRAS CELEBRATION
ENTERTAINED THOUSANDS

The rising sun in his glory spread
refulgent light DER the day and
our artillery squad under Captain
Harm were watching his appearance.
Suddenly General Logan belched
forth his salute to that luminary
that aroused the sleepers to sense
of the duty to God and their tri-
butte to our fathers who so
valiently wrote The Declaration of
the Independence of this great u
MON of states. The pleasures of the
day were opened by sweet strains
from the Anita Band who were en-
gagged to enliven and entertain the
multitude.
By ten O'Clock it was apparent
that the crowd would reach our es-
timated number )five thousand
and the line up of flaots and autos
were formed on main street, and
headed by the band marched past
the crowds that came long dis
tance to view them.
The chief attraction and one that
brought forth the applause of many
was the ladies of the Thursday
Club who were to put on the play

them and mostly all mothers of our
city. In gala attire and all dressed
alike marched first in the process

was Inscribed "Boost for the Lii
brary."
The floats were beautifully and
artis -ically decorated as each dis
played the business of the house
that furnished it. 1t collectively
made a nest beautiful appearance
on our streets
At the platform later, the big
chorus made an impression that
will never be forgotten for it's fine
ly arranged and delivered Songs.
The prayer by Rev. Grinyer; The
address of welcome by Prof. Hoy
man and the reading CT The Decla-
ration of the independence by Mrs.
Williams were all interesting to our
people, and prepared the way for
the speech by Hon. Frank M. Moore
which was full Of thought and pat
riotism but on account of rain, part
of it was postponed until the af-
ternoon.
The shower of the morning had
partly cleared away and the nu-
merous exercises were again put on,
ard after the speech the ladies
started their program, and just had
time to finish the play that was
witne ssed by thousands when rain
again began to fail. The crowd seen
ed melt away but the ladies never
the less put on the flag drill which
hundreds stepped to witness and
all felt we'll repaid for doing so.

Little Rock, July 3-According to
dispatches from st. Paul. Mimi. Shell
ly Williams, Little Rock negro, now
serving.a one-year term on the state
farm for grand larceny, has been
awarded a $4,000 verdict in suit
over the estate of his granduncle, +.
L. Reid. formerly a st. Paul negro
saloon keeper. The supreme court OF
Minnesota affirmed the verdict Of the
district court awarding the estate, to
Williams over the claims OF two ne
groes, who claimed to be legitimate
children of Reid, and a third negro
who claimed to be an illegitimate son.
The probate court had divided the
estate among the two men and one
woman claiming to be children OF
Reid. The decision however, was
reversed by the district court and the
district courts decision was affirmed
by the supreme court.
Williams, unless pardoned, Will
have to stay on the state farm at
Cummins until September, when MS
term expires. He pleaded guilty to
a charge of grand larceny in the Pu-
laski circuit court October >, 1914,
and was sentenced to one year in the
penitentiary.
