Mrs. A. E. Burrows entertained
her Sunday School children and
their mothers, Tuesday afternoon
in the park. The children had an
enjoyable time playing games and
the mothers spent the afternoon So
cially. At the close of the play
and social time the hostess served a
dainty picnic lunch consisting of
sandwiches, ice cream and cake.
Every one appreciated the pleas

child to the mother.
Mrs. Burrows has given life to
her class and has made her class

not once been beaten this year.
The children hate to see her go

sow good seed for the kingdom no
matter where she and her good hus-
band may go.

HAM[IN IS; EXTRA 8

Extra was defeated in the game
against Hamlin, Sunday. Our boys
were in poor form from lack of
practice and were practically beat
in the first inning when their oppo-
nents scored five times.
O'nonnell pitched a good game
of ball and but few hits were actu-
ally made, most Of the blame Of
defeat lying with the support.
The biggest feature Of the game
was the umpiring of Rendleman.
The Hamlin boys argued a few.
times with him4 and finally refused
to play without one Of their own
umpires, putting Wigges in for the
last five innings. At that j. w.
can tell the difference between Big
League playing and Amateurs and
says you've got to hand it to Extra
which way this is meant we can't
tell.
We are still in the game and ex-
pect that this will be the last defeat
we have this season. 1t isn't pro-
bable this game would have been
lost if the star players Of the Sum
day before had been in the game,
but owing to the fact that one GER
tain short stop wanted all the Gre
dit Of winning the last game, the
others refused to participate.

'There's a home in the skies,
Where the weary will rest,
A glorious home in the Land of
the Blest.'
Where tears will be wiped from sor-

And the broken in heart will forget
how to sigh

ONE OF BIGGEST
EVENTS OF SEASON

Sunday last, June 22nd, was the
twenty-ifth wedding anniversary
of the Reverend Rasmussen and
wife Of the Danish Lutheran church
of this city and the occasion was
marked by the congregations of
Hamlin and Extra as one long to be
remembered by his parishioners.
A big comfortable, convenient and
commodious tent was erected Sat
urday evening but it created very
little suspicion on the part Of the
family as to the size of the crowd
that should enjoy it on the Sab
bath.
After communion service at the
church Sunday morning, the Extra
congregation proceeded to the tent,
where they met and mingled with
nearly all the Hamlin congregation
At least four hundred being present
Everything possible was arranged
for a big wedding anniversary feast,
which consisted of nearly every
good thing known to the epicurean
art and plenty of it.
After dinner in the tent on the
lawn, appropriate remarks were
made by Rev. Anderson of Sioux
City Gan old schoolmate of Rev.
Rasmussen); Revs. Kloth and
Madsen Of Elk Horn; Rev. Jensen
Of Kimballton; Rev. Chris Jensen
Of Audubon, who performed the
ceremony that bound Rev. Rasmus-
sen and wife in the holy bonds Of
matrimony twenty-five years ago
in Council Bluffs, Iowa, and who is
now the President of the United
Danish Lutheran church of America
Dinner over and four hundred
appetites appeased, speeches were
in order and all were delivered with
appropriate sentiments. A covered
table was then brot before the
crowd when the Rev. Chris Jensen
made a short talk and removing
the cover exhibited beautiful sill
yer coffee service, a set of knives,
forks and spoons, $125 in cash
from the older people of the con
gregation, in a pitcher, and S25 in
cash, in a pitcher, from the young
people.

THE BEST IS NONE
TOO GOOD FOR extra.

VI
We vote for satisfaction and eco
nomy in paving. Here is our vote.
: Pave Extra with BitulithieB
A close study of the Pavement
question coupled with the advice of
real pavement experts leaves with
us the impression that itisis only
with Bitulithic that Extra can pave
both economically and satisfactorily
Better one mile Of good pave
ment than two miles of inferior
stuff and Bitulithic is good pave
ment, the one pavement, in fact,
to which no serious objection can
be offered. It's price, quality con-
sidered, is much lower; its durabil-
ity, quietness and all around worth
have been proven many times.
Bithulithic, it is estimated, can
be bid in at $3.25 per SO. yard with
a five year guarantee. Cement-un-
satisfactory from the beginning--bid
in under present specifications with
only a three year guarantee, will at
the lowest possible estimate mean
1915 per SO. yard.
The present specifications do not
call for even the best cement pave
ment--every feature which sound
engineering recognizes as necessary
to the best concrete has been omit
ted from the specifications now on
file. Add these necessary items
and see what the bid on cement
must total. It does not take a.
shIewd man to see that the cost
must be greater than for a pave
ment, which has been proven time.
after time, the superior Of concrete.
Bithulithic comprises every adj
vantage Of both Concrete and As
phalt with the disadvantages of
neither and at lower cost
Why thenis bidding for Bitulith-
ic prohibited by our present pro-
posed resolution, which adopts and
plans only for concrete construction
Let us have the advantage at
least of competitive bidding with
proper specifications and a asuhicient
guarantee to protect ourselves.
Change the resolution to read at
least five year guarantee upon
all pavement and include specifca-
tions for cement, brick and btu
lithic. We want and need pave
ment but give US our moneys $ worth
or a chance for proper value.
Bitulithic pavement will not
crack like concrete, run or become
soft like asphalt and will out wear
and out do either in satisfaction or
in economy.
We want to see plans and speci-
fcations for Bitulithic included in
our pavement resolution and we
want to see Bitulithic adopted and
laid before winter for we believe
Bitulithic spells satisfaction.
