Fred Gjerlof Returns
From Trip to Denmark

MIR. Fred Gjerloff who has been
visiting in Denmark and England
Tor the last six months, returned to
his home here last week.
Mr.. Gjerloff travelled all over
Denmark during his absence,
spending two months of his time in
travel.
He reports that times are better
IN the old country now than here,
but that many of the commodities
OF lie are ratloned. Rations on
sugar are five pounds per week for
each family; white -four FIVE pounds
per week but as rye flour is largely
used this is sufficient for the real
needs; fuel is also rationed out and
Is barely sufficient for comfort, this
restriction being felt more than any
other.
Mr.. Gjerlof's brother is captain
in the merchant marine over there
which gave the visitor opportunity
to observe conditions with tolerable
accuracy. Mr.. Gjerloff makes his
home in this city with his daughter,
Mrs. Laurids Hansen, and family,
and was much surprised upon his
return to find a new grandson of
which he had not been informed.

OLD ENOUGH TO
KNOW BETTER
Tom Adair Sneaks Out of
Town. Will Come Back
"Muchly Married"

One of the greatest surprises of
the season was sprung on our peo-
pie yesterday when the news came
over the wire of the marriage of
Mr. Tom Adalr and Mrs. Nancy
Bruner. The couple had slipped
quietly away from Extra yesterday
creating little suspicion for no one
realized the seriousness of the case.
Soon after the news reached us of
their wedding which occurred at
the DR.. Graf home in Stuart at
o:50 p. m. The ceremony was wit
messed by the Graf family and Mrs.
Alice Connrardy.
The bride and groom are ex-
pected home today or tomorrow
and are worthy of one of the liveli-
est charivaris that Extra people
have had the pleasure of attending
Tor many moons. They will prob
ably make their home in this city
where both the bride and groom
own residence properties.
That many years of happiness
Tor the newlyweds may follow the
great event is the wish of Extra
friends.

and Mrs. E. b. Perry, who died at
Bordeaux, France, on March IA,
1919, was returned to his old home
here{or burial.
The flag on the city flag pole was
fioated at half-mast all day, and the
large crowd IN attendance at the
funeral was evidence OF the high es-
TEEN IN which this worthy young
man was held by friends he left be-
hind when he unAinchingly went
forth and faced the dangers which
confronted him. in order that he
might share the task OF saving his
country for democracy He played
his part bravely and well, serving
over a year in France. Four
months after the armistice was
signed, while waiting to return to
home and loved ones, the ravages
OF that dread disease flu proved
upon him and claimed him as it's
victim.
The body reached New York
about two weeks ago and the rela-
tlvcs here were immediately noti-
fled. With the remains of thirteen
of his comrades it was taken to
Ft. Crook, Nebraska, and thence,
with Corporal Stephen Sanka OF
that place as escort, it was shipped
to Atlantic, arriving there Satur-
day last
The funeral obsequies were OBJ
served in a very fitting manner, the
American Legion being placed in
charge, and the knights Of Pythias
and Pythian Sisters lodges added
to the delegation by attending in a
body. SiXty-nine soldiers were in
attendance and made a very strik-
ing appearance in their uniforms Of
khaki. The sermon was beauti-
fully delivered by Rev. Lawton OF
North Branch who had served as
chaplain in the army, and the SER
vices were conducted in full mill
tary style. The sympathy dis
played throughout was a great

STURGEON FARM HOME
DAMAGED BY FIRE
Fast Work of Neighbors
Saves Building from
Total Destruction

The farm residence Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Harold Sturgeon, south of
town, was perhaps saved from to-
tai destruction by the heroic work
OF their two sons, James and Fred,
last Saturday afternoon.
The two lads had been playing
with some money in the woodshed
Just back of the house when they
accidentally dropped some Of it.
The exact cause of the fire is not
known but it is thought that the
floor of the shed which was oil
soaked, ignited from the blaze Of
candle which the boys used in
trying to recover their money, and,
In spite of all the boys could do,
the fire crept back under the boards
of the floor. James rushed to the
telephone and rang in a general
alarm while Fred ran to the corn
ield where the father and mother
were picking corn. By the time
they arrived on the scene, however,
score of neighbors were. there
sighting the blaze and by fast work
managed to get it under control.
The two boys are to be credited
Tor their wonderful presence of
mind in trying to secure help du-
Hag the excitement.

The Old Home Town

Its streets were not che broadest.
Its walks were not the best:
Its blocks We're few and modest,
Its parks were but Jest:
But all its sons were loyal
And deemed it no disgrace
Thru thick and thin they sailed
right in
And boosted for the place;
And so | sing its praises,
Though fate has kept it down,
| love it still and always will
Town.
Its girls they were the sweetest,
In all the country round,
Its mothers We're the neatest
That ever could be found;
Its ''daddies" were the smartest,
With hearts of civic pride
Its boys they were the bravest, sir,
Oh any countryside;
So when you speak about it,
Don't do so with frown:
In all your talks don't ever knock
The
Home
Town.
Some places are much bigger
More gay and grand and smart
They cut wider figure
In wealth and style and art;
But it had it's own good features
And let us not forget,
Tho scattered far, wheree'er we are
We owe it all a debt;
So when you're lauding cities
And marts of fair renown,
Don't overlook that little nook
The
Old
Home
Town.

euicksand Causes Trouble

Griswold is having some trouble
with its sewage system because of a
pocket of quicksand near the sewer
outlet southwest of Griswold on the
Mcintyre place.
A hole which appeared on the sur
face recently became larger and
larger, and it was finally discovered
that the sewer pipe for some dis
tance had disappeared altogether.
When the pipe was laid a few years
ago, the quicksand strata was dry,
and gave no trouble.
The damage will be repaired by
building a reinforced foundation.
and then connecting up the pipes
anew. The .quicksand pocket
would have been cut out had the
drainage project gone through, as
the proposed lateral would cut
through that area.

comfort to the parents and helped
to heal the wounds which sorrow
has so lndelibly stamped upon the
hearts of loved ones.
BY request of the relatives we
! are herewith reproducing an eX-
tract taken from the journal of
April Ii, 1919, about four weeks
after the young mans death:
Allie Lee Perry, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. b. B. Perry, was born near
Extra, IN Audubon county, Iowa,
April II, 1886. He was called to
the colors October 3, 1917. After
spending nearly five months at
Camp Funston, Kansas, he was
transferred to Camp Merritt, New
Jersey, and from there he was sent
to France.
He was waiting at port of en-
barkation for home, when he was
taken sick with Spanish Influenza
which developed into bronchial
pneumonia, and died at the Regi-
mental In6rmary of Company E.,
10th Engineers Ry. Regular mill
tary services were held March 18th
and his body was laid 10 rest in
the United States cemetery at Car
bon Blanc.
''Those that mourn his untime-
ly loss are his father, mother, four
brothers Hunter Perry, of Omaha,
Nebraska; Edward Perry, OF Has
tings, Nebraska; Charles F. Perry,
OF Edgar, Nebraska; and Clarence
r, Perry, who is now with the
army in France; also two sisters,
Mrs. j. e. Lewis, of Brayton, Iowa,
and Maude p. Perry, who is at
home.
He was member of the
knights of Pythias No. lSl, Do
main of Iowa, Extra. 1t was
through this source that he was
| identified and the loved ones at
! home notified.
He died no less a hero than
those Of the Argonne Woods, and
we do him honor.
Memorial services were held at
the Christian Church Sunday af-
ternoon, April 18th, 1919, at 2:3O
O'Clock.
The knights of Pythias and Py-
THAN Sisters gathered at their hall
and marched in a body to the
church carrying colors.
MIR. and Mrs Perry and family
were brought in autos and all
marched into the church while
America was being played. The
choir rendered four hymns. Beau
tlful Isle of Somewhere was rem
dered by Mrs. Townsend and DR..
Hall. The pastor used as a text,
Romans S:2S, MI things work to-
gether for good to those that love
Christ" showing that God used
death as we'll as life to bring about
his righteousness on earth.

WOMEN MAY ASK
FOR EVEN BREAK
ON COMMIT TEE.


Chicago, June 3,-Plans for
demand that the republican ma
tional committee be increased from
forty eight to ninety-siX members
and that a woman vice chairman
be appointed, were announced to-
day by Miss Mary Garret Hay of
New York, secretary of the rapub-
lican woman's national executive
committee.
Miss Hay discussed the plans
with many women republicans,
following the failure of the sub
committee of the national commit
tee to reach any definite conclu-
sions at its meeting today to take
uU the question of wOmen's repre-
sentation. Miss Hays plan would
be represented at a caucus OF
women Sunday and if approved,
will be placed before the sub-com-
mittee Monday.
The personnel of the committee
should be increased from forty
eight to ninety-siX," said Miss Hay,
because the electorate has been
doubled. l do not mean there
should be a man and woman from
every state. 1t is up to the states
to elect any one they wish. Also,
there should be a woman vice
chairman and an assistant secre-
tary, and either the secretary or
the assistant should be a woman
