Everybody has noticed the focks
of birds which are seemingly every
where, but everyone does not notice
that in most cases, they are COM
posed of several varieties of birds.
Juncos and several different kinds
OF sparrows as well as other small
birds may be seen in the same flock.
When disturbed their mingled notes
and twitterings make chorus in
which it is difficult to distinguish
the voices of Individual birds.
Do not disturb the screech
owl, but encourage him to live near
you. He lives on mice, young rats
and IN summer, grasshoppers, beet
ties, and many other injurious
insects. He should be welcome
resident on every farm.
The Downy Woodpecker is a
hardy bird and stays with us all
winter He seems to form part
nershlp with the Nuthatch and
Chickadee during the cold weather
and all busy themselves hunting
out the insects eggs and larvae
which lnfest our trees, thus saving
them from destruction.
The Bobolink leaves us in July
and goes to the rice fields of the
Carolinas and Georgia. He chang
es his coat for a much palmer dress
and is known in that region as the
Ricebird. About October first they
wing their flights to Cuba where
they are called Chambergo. From
Cuba they go to Islandof Jamaica
where because they are so fat they
are called Butterbirds. From there
they go to their winter home which
is south of Amazon river in South
America.

EXTRA EXPRESSES graf.
|TUDE TO Mr.. M'CLA|N

Some weeks ago the Commercial
Club of our burg decided to erect a
flag pole and appointed commit
tee for that purpose. These gentle
men went about their allotted task
endeavoring to secure a suitable
pole but at every turn they were
disappointed owing to war condi-
tions, whereupon the Committee
decided to abide the time and pro-
cure one as soon as chance present.
ed itself MIR. McClain, hearing
that such pole could not be found
locally informed the committee
that he had the very thing they
songht and if acceptable would give
it for the purpose. The magni6-
cent gift was accepted with many
audible expressions of gratitude.
The citizens Of Extra are the
possessors Of a beautiful Flag pole,
the donation of one of our long and
honored residents, Mr.. T. j. Nc
Claim, who placed it in front of his
residence and cared for it during
the past years. Whenever the old
er people Of our community look
upon the pole, which now stands
towering fifty feet above the level
in the center of Main Street, north
west of the park, it will servo to res
mind them that; years ago the coun-
ty fairs of Audubon were held
southwest of town and the flagstaff
then a, small sapling was taken
from the fair ground and replanted
by the giver, where it grew tall and
waxed strong. Many have time
and time again commented upon
its majestic appearance, when it
adorned the McClain lawn.
Mr.. McClain also felled and
dressed the tree, which was quite a
task and took several days to per-
form. The value of the gift can
never be assessed in dollars and
cents, but the community as a body
received the gift and will in the
near future demonstrate their APP
pre- iation by assembling at its base
to raise the National and Service
Flags, which will serve toremind us
of freedom and service.

Hun helmet AT THE
KEARhEY DRUG STORE

Have you seen the helmet at the
Kearney Pharmacy? Jack Kearney,
who is in France, sent one, a gen
uine Hun helmet, to Mr.. Claude
Viewer. The thing is heavy enough,
weighing three pounds, to cook the
coffee in, or mess Of potatoes, a
kettle Of soup, or in which to do a
family washing. A mans with one
has a kettle or wash pa fwith him
all the time. Jack didn't say a
word about the poor fellow that
used to wear tiff he knew--but we
surmise what became of him, hav-
ing heard Jack express himself as to
what he would do over there if an
opportunity presented itself. So we.
guess the opportunity came judging
from this topknot. Call and see i4.

A KINDLY DEED Of
NE|GHB0RS AND FRIENDS

About forty Of the neighbors and
friends met at the home of Mrs.
Fred. Tanner over near Anita, last
week, and gathered all the corn on
the farm. 1t will be remembered
that Mr.. Tanner passed away few
weeks ago of pneumonia that fol-
lowed Spanish Influenza.
The same crowd, after cribbing
the Tanner crop, met at the Otto
Baiers home, near there, and pick
ed ten acres for Mr.. Baiers. Otto
and his family have all been sick
too, with the horrible Flu, but are
recovering nicely
This was certainly a kind deed
to the Tanner and Baiers families,
and one that will long be cherished.

ATLANTIC MAN IS
AGAIN A CANDIDATE

Judge j. b. Rockafellow, will be
a'candidate for reelection at the
general election held Nov. 5th. The
people in this part Of the district
are quite anxious that the Judge be
returned to his present position. In
the first place he is exceptionally
we'll qualified to hold the position
He is fair and impartial and under
stands law. He resides close to
Audubon and it is often important
to have a judge close at hand in or
der that necessary papers can be
signed at earliest possible moment.
With Judge. Rockafellow in Atlans
tic would give the Audubon coun.
ty people almost as good service as
though we had resident Judge.
From that view point alone, Audu-
bon county voters should support
Judge RockafelloW. He is a
candidate on the non-partisan
ticket SO that republicans and demo-
Gratis alike can support him.
He has filled the office the past
two terms to the entire satisfaction
of the bar and everyone of them
want him reelected. Personally he
is a pleasant agreeable gentleman
and is certainly entitled to the sup
port Of his neighbors. Audubon

JOHN H0RNING

Never has the office Of Clerk of
the District Court of Audubon
County been attended to with such
minute exactness as during the
term of the present incumbent, at
least with no better satisfaction to
our people. Mr.. Horning and his
faithful deputy, Miss Christensen
deserve the praise Of all parties for
their efficient endeavors. The con-
tinuance Of Mr.. Horning at next
Tuesdays election would be an
honor worthily earned and bestow-
ed. He deserves the endorsement.

reer of this pastor in former charges
we'll known to nearly every member
of the church. 1t may be said with
much fairness to all concerned that
Rev. Mr.. Wear promises this com
munity a great service. The church
needs him and every member ought
so to appreciate him as to be willing
to lend untiring cooperation to all OF
the good work which he is to plan and
carry out here.
1t may be said in passing that he
will have the cooperation Of the men
and women and the leaders in the
other churches in all the good work
that he undertakes, for there are in
all the churches many who will be
indeed glad to welcome him into the
local field as an honest, energetic
church leader.
The Dispatch wishes to express a
feeling of satisfaction at the arrival
of the time when the local Baptist
church may have the leadership and
pastoral services Of such man as
Rev Mr. Wear 1t may be poor
service that we can render, but it
will be heartily and graciously given
at all times and we believe others
of the church membership have the
same kind of kindly and hopeful at
titude.
There is abundant evidence on all
sides of the church loyalty and wide
support that this new pastor is to
have in the beginning of his new
work here. He ought to have more
than the casual godspeed of the new
conner for he is more than that He
is come to do a work of tremendous
importance and the whole community
and county will know he is here and
will feel the strong influence that
he will WELD once he is here and in
his working clothes.
