KNIGHTS OF PYTH|AS
A LIVE BUNCH

| The friendly contest that was
started in the X. of P. lodge two
weeks ago, when sides we're chosen
of the members, to procure appM-
cants for future honors I'M the
Kni ghts of Pythias Lodge of this
city, came to conclusion Tuesday
evening last when twenty-seven apr
plicats signed the regular blanks
and declared it to be their wish to
become member of this great and
popular order.
The result of the effort was the
securing of nineteen applications
on the winning sdie which was
that known as the George Corl's
combination. While eight We're
brought in by the minority side
which was known as the-well we
forgot, but think it was Peter
Christensen or Mayor" AL An
drews, or perhaps both that brought
them in.
The round up was a banquet to
be paid for by the losers. That
none should go empty away, and to
aMay all doubt as to- the sincerity
of the effort, the supper was pro-
vided for this meeting, and the
spread was enjoyed by all present,
from the coffee at the start of the
menu, to the cigars after the ice
cream and cake at the finish. The
great crowd kept the cooks and
walters on the jump till late
hour.
So much real social happiness
was obselvent among the members
that it was really good to be there.
The fellows who paid for the
feast, did SO without a murmer Or
complaint. So much brothe,rly feel
ing can be seen between the mem
bers while at work, or when they
meet each other on the street,
that it makes the uninitiated pom
der in anna cement.
Pythianism, as pursued in Extra
The City Beautiful, is truly broth
erly love and angelic bliss,-th per-
feet joy of heaven.

SCHOOL PROGRAM
A GRAND SUCCESS

The Program given at the school
house last Thursday Evening by the
various grades below the High
school was fine and the youngsters
We're favored by full house.
The Entertainment was a success il
every way and there was scarcely a
home in Extra that was net re-
presented both ON the stage and in
the audience. These programs are
commendable, in that they give the
students work before the public
which is splended practice and prac
tice that we older people mostly
failed to receive during our school
days. The teachers have done some
very tedious and hard work in pre-
pairing this program and we are
glad that they melted neat little
sum of money in payment.

Dipping Deeper in Soil Problems.
1t has probably been now about
a week since you have heard the
word humus, which stands for the
black, wa&-like substance in the
soil that is formed by all plant
materials when they reach GER
tain stage of decay.
Two reasons have been given
for its Importance. 1t makes the
soil warmer, and it makes it cas-
ier to work and less liable ia
bake and form clods; but it was
stated last week that there are
still three other reasons why humus
lis very important. Here they are.
The more humus soil contains
the mere moisture it is liable to
absorb and hold.
The amount Of our space between
the scM particles becomes greater
as the amount of humus increases.
The numbers Ct bacteria in the
soil depends upon the amount of
humus in it since these bacteria
live upon decaying plant materials.
AT first these things may not
really seem so important as they
were said to be. However, little
reelection may change our vews a
| bout them.
For example, we may know in
general way that we desire the
mo:sture-h olding capacity of the
soil to be great. But why?f Be
cause if sciD is moisture it will
mot dry out so badly in the sum-
mer and also because rain will be
absorbed by the soil as, it falls
instead of running off the surface,
washing gullies in the field as it
goes. AS the hWmus decreases in
the soil, it becomes more and mora
difficult to prevent the formation
of gullies by rains.
Regarding the air space in the
soil, we must remember that no
seed can germinate and no root
can grow without air. If We plant
| SCCuo ih pure clay NllldCWH u6Su
moistened so that it is sticky and
air-tight, they will germinate very
slowly or net at all; and this is
another reason why seeds do not
come UP quickly if humus is lack
ing in field. They can not get
the air which they must have in Or
der to germinate we'll.
/ Regarding the soil bacteria, it
is known certainly that the more
numerous they are the more fer
tile the soil is. This is partly due
to the fact that they hasten decay
of vegetable matter, thus liberat-
ing food elements for growing
plants and partly to the fact that
they produce acids which dissolve
other elements of plant food from
the rock particles in the soil. The
amount of plant food in the soil
depends upon the number of bac-
terra in it.

which to choose. The regular ticket
Or the one regularly filled was head
ed by G. 0. Hunt as mayor follow
ed by Jack Alsup, Charles Kommes,
John Dimick, Fred Cotton and DIR.
Oldaker as CoIuncilmen. The irregu-
lar ticket or the one not filed was
headed with stickers by John Ri
ley Jr. for Mayor, but the ticket
g was blank with this exception
The following votes were cast.
One hundred and siNty-six votes
were cast of which G. o. Hunt re-
ceived 81 and John Riley Jr re-

For Councilmen, Alsup received

battle has cleared away we find
that all parties were satisfied with
