UNI0N OF CHURCHES

There has been much talk of a.
union of the Protestant churches in
the town for the sake of greater
strength, and the elimination of
needless waste. One building, one
heating plant, one janitor and one
preacher could easily care for all,
the present attendants. The re-.
spective church boards of the Meth
odist, Congregational and Christian
churches have had a meeting to-
gether to talk over plans for union.
Three plans were presented. First
a breaking loose from all the pres
ent churches and forming union
church. The great objection to
that plan is that a church without
any state or national connection,
with some denomination, soon be-
comes self-centered and dies.
Second, a union simply for the
preaching service, and each church
keeping its own organization, and
having its own Sunday school in
its own separate building. This
would be only partial union and
would necessitate the up-keep and
'aeating of three buildings, also the
keeping Of three janitors.
Third, taking a census of the
people of the three churches and let
the majority rule, all the others to
become members of the church
that has the majority vote, and be-
come anchored in the work of its
state and national organizations.
This plan was considered the best
Of the three because then most Of
the people would be working in for
mer lines and the change would not
be SO great. It was decided to do
nothing further till the members Of
the different churches had had q
chance to express themselves.

MISREPRESENTATION

We understand that the effort for
a consolidated school at Brayton is
meeting with considerable opposi-
ton. It is contended by the oppos-
ing side that for large part of the
year the condition of the roads is
such that it would be impossible
for those who lived at distance
to attend, a strong argument for
the good roads movement. The
county superintendent did not sus-
tain the objection, however.

Or. GROVE 4. RATHBUN !
M0URNED BY MANY

The death of DR.. Grove II. Rath-
bun of Fremont, Nebraska, which
occurred at the Clarkson hospital
in Omaha, September 5, 1919 was a.
shock to Extra people. He had been
ill for several months, his condition
becoming critical about FIVE weeks
before his death when an operation
was performed for cancer, but it
was thought by the physicians that
his case was hopeless due to the ma
ture of the disease.
DR.. Rathbun was born in Iowa,
December 8, 1880, being about 80
years Of age at the time Of his
death. He commenced his school
life in the Extra schools at the age
of five and was graduated from
this institution in the year 1897.
Soon after he commenced the study
of medicine in the Office of DIR. N.
P. Lauritzen, where he remained
until September 1898 when he en-
rolled as student at the Omaha
Medical College and graduated
from that school in 1902. In 1911
he removed to Fremont, where he
practiced his profession. He leaves
a widow and two sons, Sanford and
Jack to mourn his departure, be-
sides many relatives.
/ OF this fine man the Fremont,
Neb. Herald says: "Dr. Rathbun,
tho young in years had lived,a life
of great usefulness. A surgeon of
high rank, of remarkable industry,
and personality that won for him
devoted and sincere friends, his
/ death will be deeply mourned by
all who knew him. In his passing
Fremont loses a beloved citizen and
the medical profession one Of its
most intelligent and progressive
members. 1t, is sad, indeed, tc
chronicle the passing ofDa man
whom every friend had reason to
believe would have attained high
est rank among surgeons of The
/ West and whose ambitions anc
progressiveness would have largely
influenced this community in its
progress"
The hosts Of Extra friends Of DR.
Rathbun we're deeply grieved te
learn Of his death, and all extent
. heartiest sympathy to the famil,
and relatives.
Mrs. Andrew Jensen entertaine,
the Mothers Club Tuesday after
noon at her home in the country
All but a few Of the members wer
present and a very successful busi
ness meeting was held. The hos
tess served a delicious supper. Mrs
Idah Cannon was guest of day.

Our Weather Eye
Victims Without Redress

In the truest sense, every farmer
is a party to the great struggle be-
tween labor and capital, which is
just now coming to a head in
America.
When the railroad brotherhoods
lin 1914 forced a fat increase Of /
twenty-five percent in wages by
threatening to paralyze the nations
transportation industry, the farm
|ers became their victims in two
ways. Freight rates promptly went
up; and the price of farm labor
likewise rose to meet the competi-
tion Of the cities.
Since then the brotherhoods have
forced other wage increases; and
the uniform result has been that
farmers have paid increase freight
and higher labor charges.
Lately the brotherhoods have ta-
lken a new tack. This time they
are not demanding an increase in
wages but decrease in the cost of
living instead; and it is notable
that farm products alone have had
a violent fall in price. Coal, cloth
ling, shoes and manufactured goods
generally apparently cost as much
as ever; but there is a serious
shrinkage in the value of corn and
meat.
1t appears, then, that to date
our farmers have the brotherhoods
to thank.for % higher freight rates;
l(2) higher labor costs; and (3)
Hover market prices for their
products.
| All this need not arouse i'll feel
ing--n is retaliation in order. Yet
it is important to understand that
most of what labor has been gain
! ing in the present struggle, our
farmers have been losing. It seems
! high time that someone stood up
for the rights Of the farmers in
Washington.
I Mrs. James Nelson and children
returned Monday from a visit in
Guthrie Center.
Mrs. Idah Cannon of Oakfeld is
lin Extra this week visiting relatives,
arriving here Monday. She has
] just returned from Colfax, where
she took her son, Walter, to receive
treatments for rheumatism. He
will remain there about two weeks.
! Mrs. Frank Basham has been
!. carrying mail on the route, the past
week during the illness Of her hus-
band. Mr.. Basham is much bet
j. tsr, we are glad to report. and able
to be around the house.

Bird 9 :. club
Notes

Swifts and swallows are consid-
cred by the American Forestry AS
ISOLATION as the most valuable birds
for the preservation Of fruit and
other trees. They have found that
a single cliff swallow will eat a thou
sand flies, mosquitoes, wheat mid
gets or beetles which injure fruit
trees, in day.
They stay with us only from
April to September but in that time
they devour millions and millions
of the pests, which infest our gar
dens, crops, and trees and we should
encourage their presence and pro-
tect them from their enemies in
every possible manner.
We heard a belated catbird re-
Gently. One who for some reason
has been left behind it's mates in
their flight southwark. It did not
sing for us but uttered a series Of
the cat calls which have given it
its name. Earlier in the season the
catbird is an exquisite songster but
seldom sings so late as this.
