FRANK 4. Campbell
HOME FROM FRANCE

The first Extra boy to return to
his home in Extra from overseas is
Frank B. Campbell, son of Mrs. S.
A. Campbell, and he arrived here
Tuesday noon. Frank was with
Battery r., l26th Co. and has ma
ny interesting experiences to relate.
He has been in. the army about
twenty-one months.
Erode Hansen, another Extra boy
was with the same company as
Frank but-failed to return to the
Statesson account Of an accident,
which befell him while near St.
Havre, France. The Company was
on the train and Erode was seated
on a box in the doorway Of a car
when another soldier leaned over
him to look out, pushing Erode off
the car. AS the engineer was
French it was impossible for our
boys to make him understand the
circumstance and SO the train speed
ed on leaving Erode behind. A
soldier on the rear end of the train
saw Erode stand up and hold his
head, then fell over. This happen
ed in September and nothing was
heard from him until December,
when Frank received a card from
him saying he had been in hospi-
tai in France. 1t is not known how
serious his injuries are but all are
hoping he will return home in good
health.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
VOTES 10 HELP BAND

At a special meeting Of the Com
mercial Club Tuesday evening, it
was decided to help finance the
band. This new and essential or
ganization to the life Of the town
needs financial assistance at this
time SO that their expenses may be
met. The boys are buying their
own instruments but new music
must be bought and an instructor
must be procured, which all costs
money and it is right that all should
help.
A committee composed Of Messrs
Terhune, Will Spoo and John John
son will cali on all interested in a
few days and a liberal donation
from each will insure the town ano-
ther band, worthy Of Extra.

CHANGE Of BUSINESS
PICTURE PALACE SOLO

Mr.. P. M. Christensen & son,
Edwin, purchased, last week, the
Moving Picture Theatre of Mr.. Joe
Meurers and will bring it to an up-
to-date, instructive amusement
house that is so essential to the bus
mess life Of Extra and its environ-
ments.
When weather and roads permit
it is surprising to see the crowds of
young people from the country who
attended the Specials when Mr..
Meurers put them on and they ne
yer complained about the price if
the show had the merit, what they
wanted was a clean entertainment
and this Mr.. Christensen will pro
vide. We have the boys home
again and they will revive the life
of our city that has been SO dor
mant during their absence in the
war. Let's all cheer up now and
patronize everything that is for the
public welfare and our own enter
tainment and especially the picture
show.
!. It is the intention Of Mr.. Chris
tensen and his son to use no picture
that will shock the most delicate
. feelings of ladies or gentlemen. The
amusements they will use for your
entertainment shall be of the high
est type, fit for your children to see,
the young ladies or the boys, theil
mother or their father.
Christensen & Som will take pos
session February first. Don't for
get the date.

BOYS WORKING RE-
SERVE ORGANIZED

Fifty thousand boys between the
ages Of l6 and 2l registered in the
United States Boys Working Re
serve in the minimum limit for
Iowa in the enrolment campaign,
which began in Audubon County,
Monday as a part Of a State and
National enrolment week from
January Goth to 26th. When Ne
braska can register 100000 and Mis-
sissippi $4,000 Iowa ought to set a
record that will make every other
state in the country hustle to beat.
There are 100000 boys in the state
who are eligible to membership in
this organization.
The idea of the Boys Working
Reserve when it was first organized
last year was to mobilize the boys
Of the towns and cities and train
them for work on the farm over
summer. So Loyalty did the boys
respond and do their part, that the
U. S. department of Labor decided
to continue the organization for
1919, and by largely increasing it,
mot only tide the farm labor ques-
ton over the food crisis that is COM
ling this year but also to help boys
interested in business or industrial
lines to find suitable summer en-
ployment where they can be of best
service to the country.
Sometime this week in every
High School and consolidated
school in the county meetings viii
be held at which the superinten
dents will explain the reserve idea
hand out QUESTIONABLE and enroll
ment blanks to the boys and urge
them to join this, the biggest boys
organization ever organized in Am
erica. A committee of FIVE, head
ed by Paul M. Wolf, County Agen
as chairman, have charge of the en-
rollment in this county.

RED CROSS GETTING
RUMAN|A ON HER FEET

Bucharest, July 3.-The children
Of Rumania are the special care of
the American Red Gross nurses who
are showing Rumanian mothers how
to care properly for them. They are
distributing infants clothing, con-
densed milk, soap, talcum powder
and everything that contributes to a
baby's comfort. In this field of re-
lief work the efforts Of the Ameri-
cans already have shown remarkable
results. The condition OF the chill
dren has been wonderfully improved.
The Red Cross workers found the
children in all these war-affected
towns in a pitiful state OF impover-
tshment. Many of them were slowly
dying OF starvation. Others had pei
lagra and malignant skin diseases.
There little ones are now being cared
for and given nourishing and fatten-
ing foods, such as bacon, jam, cod
liver oil, etc. They have shown
wonderful improvement since the
Americans came.
