curing Is points to Anita's 10 but
Anita had too much of a lead for
us to take the game away from
them. This shows that we were
next to the last team to be elimi-
mated because Anita was the last
team eliminated by Indianola at
7:3O Saturday evening with a score
of 10 to 3S. Extra was the only
lightweight team to get into the
semi-fnal games.
Our boys learned great deal
while they were out on this trip.
They behaved in a manner that
would bring credit to any town or
home that they represented, and
won the favor Of the spectators by
their clean sportmanship playing.
Extra, altho a team of the lighter
class in weight and triae shorter
in average height, made up in
speed and accuracy for both of
these Deficiencies. Basham as a
forward and William Larsen as the
third best center, were placed on
the honor roll for their good play
ing. With the hearty support of
the town these boys should make a
winning team for next years

OUR WEATHER EYE
Parasites in Politics

The days of the political news
paper are numbered. 1t is passing
away; and its demise will not be
mourned by people who choose to
be honest in their opinions and fair
and upright in their judgments re-
lating to public affairs.
For the political newspaper gar
bles, distorts and misrepresents the
truth to its readers; and this usu-
ally in the interests of tricky and
unscrupulous party leaders, Or.
worse yet, in some cases, to further
the selfish interests and ambitions
of its own crafty. owner or pub
Usher. Within the past few years,
we have seen both of these things
take place in Audubon county.
The one constitutes a betrayal of
the public which supports the pa
per; the other, betrayal of the
party which the paper is morally
bound to represent and serve.
1t is an unholy service which the
political organ renders to the people
at large; for we cannot escape the
fact that an important part of its
business is to hoodwink and mis-
lead them, and to serve instead the
politicians who are seeking to ex-
plot them.
For this false and apprehensive
service to the people who support
it, the political newspaper exacts a
heavy toll. 1t brazenly demands
as spoil all public business in its
line, which is large; and upon this
business, it sets it's own price,
without let or hindrance. Thus it
gets its pay at last from the pockets
Of its victims.
Morally, the political organ is in
defensible. 1t preys. 1t is para
site. May the day soon come
when all newspapers shall be hon.
est with their readers and truly
faithful to the best interests of
their supporters and friends.

CEMETERIES KEPT IN
GOOD CONDITION
Extra Lady Boosters Trying
Hard to Raise Funds.
Help Cause Along.

The Extra Lady Booster Club
submits the following report for the
benefit of those who are not fam
iliar with the cemetery work up
to date:
Last year we received by sub
scription at $1.50 per lot, sl6l. We
also received from township for use
in both cemeteries, Sl25. We ex-
pended for labor repairs, ETC.,
s223.2 .2s.
We find the task of caring for
the cemeteries not an easy one but
this year we are endeavoring to
keep the good work up by caring
for both cemeteries in the same
manner, and hope those who have
friends and loved ones buried there
will contribute willingly as before.
Extra Lady Booster Club.
The small crowd Of public spirited
women who are struggling nobly to
keep our cemeteries clean and beau
tiful deserves our consideration and
assistance and should be helped in
every way possible. Especially
should funds be literally and gladly
| Furnished to carry on this work.

Bankers to Offer
New Belgian Bonds
in Market Today

J. p. Morgan & Co. and the Guaranty
Trust Company, as fiscal agents for the
Belgian government and as heads OF a
syndicate which is underwriting a Belgian
government loan Of s25, 900, announced
yesterday that the new issue will be
offered to the public today at price to
yield slightly more than per cent
The issue price of the one year notes
will be 80 and interest That of the five
year notes will be 95si and interest Sub
scription books will be opened at tho
offices of the fiscal agents this morning.
Preliminary application for the issue has
been very good, according to bankers who
are handling the new Belgian notes
especially for the five year notes. The
bankers added
''The terms of the Belgian loan now
being offered in this country give the
American investor an opportunity to par
ticipate in the benefits that will result
from its recovery. AS Belgium's condition..
which is now rapidly becoming satisfac-
tory, continues to improve and its balance
of trade becomes more favorable II is
reasonable to expect that the condition
of its foreign exchanges will also improve.
The holders of the Belgian government
notes now being offered will have In
effect a cali on Belgian exchange, if it
advances beyond eleven francs to the dol
lar, under an arrangement by which half
OF such profit will go to the Belgian gov
ernment and the other half to the note
holder 4f@4,1~ ,.ir.
