Mr.. and Mrs. Soren Madsen re-
ceived announcement last week Of
the marriage of their daughter,
Anna, which took place, Friday,
September Goth. The news of the
marriage was surprise to her ma
ny Extra friends.
Anna was an Extra girl, who had
won the respect and honor of hosts
of friends. She graduated few
years ago from the Homeopathic
hospital in Iowa City as trained
nurse. After our country entered
the war she enlisted as Red Cross

soldiers at different Camp hospi-
tails. For sometime she has been
located in Georgia. Her husband,
John Geisy, was a Lieutenant in
the Army and he met his bride
while in the service of his country.
The happy couple is enjoying a
honeymoon trip through Florida,
and are expected here on a short
visit in the near future.
The Journal extends congratula-
tlons and wish Mr.. and Mrs Geisy
success and happiness thru life.

OUR WEATHER EYE
The Farmers Other Cheek

Students of affairs seem to be
agreeing quite unanimously that
the time has come when farmers
MUST organize whether they like
it or not, if they wish to see their
rights and interests recognized in
the councils Of the nation.
This conclusion seems justified,
since just now they stand as the
only class, who are forced to accept
a sweeping reduction in the price
of their products without SO much
as question being asked as to
whether the new prices will or will
not leave them a profit in their
business.
This point is worth noticing care
fully. With all the agitation we
have been having lately to reduce
the cost of living, no one else in all
the nation has been asked to re-
duce the price Of what he sells to a
point that will leave less than a
reasonable profit. When govern
ment agents have suggested that
the price Of any product should be
lowered, the producer as a rule has
only had to show that such a re-
duction would not leave him a rea-
sonable profit, and the matter was
dropped forthwith.
This rule was evidently not made
for farmers. 1t is not recorded in
their case that any such considera-
ton has been shown. So far as
any one knows, no questions have
been asked as to whether the re-
.duced prices would allow them a
profit or would leave them to face
q loss instead. Instead, they have
simply and quietly been FORCED
to accept the reductions without
the formality of question or a
"By your leave"
There is only one answer. Far
mers as class are not organized,
They should be; and the organlza-
ton can not be effected any too
soon. The form that this organiza.
ton should take will be considered
in this column later.

THE BIRTH Of A NATION

The great American photoplay
THE Birth of a Nation" will be

works. The picture was produced
at a cost of $500,00O. Don't fail to
see it. Shows at 2 and 8 p. m.
Christensen & Son are making
extra efforts to procure the best
pictures for Extra theatre-goers and
we should show our appreciation by
patronizing them literally.

]. 5. PAY DAY OCT. 15|

Another one of Uncle Sans big
pay days comes on Oct. 13. Then
you again will have an opportunity
to clip your Liberty Bond coupons
and reinvest the interest in another
form Of Government security. War
Savings stamps or the new Trea-
sury Savings certificates. Interest
on Liberty Bonds to the total
amount Of 7s,1O2, ,249.23 will be
paid by the Treasury Department
on October 18th.
Keep your dollars working for
you. That is what the wise inves-
tor does, and with the purchasing
power Of the dollar lower than it
ever was, it is the part of wisdom
to keep your income increasing un-
til money is worth more. You can
do that by reinvesting your Liberty
Bond interest in War Savings
stamps, which pay four percent in
terest compounded qual terly.
The procedure is easy. All you
have to do is to take your Liberty
Bond coupons to any postoffice and
almost any bank and exchange
them for War Savings stamps,
which are non-depreciable and non
fuctuating. In case you ever need
the money, you always can cash
them at any postofice on ten days
notice. Each purchaser of War
Savings stamps gains sure profit
and insurance for the future. The
Government gains some money and
assures and stabilizes its financial
safety and prosperity by assuring
the financial future of it's citizens.
Following are Uncle Sans other
pay days this year and the amount
of Liberty Bond interest it is posi-
BILE to reinvest in War Savings
stamps:

ings stamps.
