UNION SERVICES AT

The first union service since the
decision of the Church OF Christ to
mite with the Community church at
Extra, was held Sunday, Rev. Chas.
Henry preaching in the morning and
Rev. Babcock filed the pulpit in the
evening at the Christian church.
Rev. Babcock left Extra yesterday
for California to spend the summer
and this was his last sermon until
the first of September, when he re-
turns as assistant pastor. He will
have charge of the social depart=
ment. -
The Christian church building is
the one which the combined congre-
CATION will use hereafter for wor-
ship. The Congregational church
will be remodeled for the use Of the
Ladies' Aid Society, which Is too
large to be entertained in the homes
OF the members, while the Methodist
church will be maintained for the
use of community meetings, for
band practice, Legion meetings and
the like. The Sunday school will
meet in the high school auditorium,
and classes heard in the recitation
rooms. The Sunday school through
the merger is also too large to be ac-
commodated in any Of the three
churches. -
The employment, of an athletic di-
rector Is one Of the plans the con-
gregatlon has under consideration.

GIVEN PLEASANT SURPRISE

About thirty relatives and friends
gathered at the home Of Mr. and
Mrs. George Weighton Sunday after
noon to help them celebrate their
25th wedding anniversary. The af-
fair was a complete surprise TO them
and had been cleverly engineered by
taeir two daughters. Mrs. Weigh
ton had Teen sick in bed for several
days and was Just able TO get ont Of
bed for the day. Mr.. Weighton was
out in the yard and while they were
both absent from the sitting room
and parlor. the guests were ushered
into the house. Mr.. and Mrs.
Weighton were later called into the
parlor where they found their
guests. While greatly surprised,
they set about at once to make their
guests welcome.
The intruders brought with them
plenty Of good things to eat and at
noon a great feast was enjoyed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Weighton have lived
in Audubon many years and have
made a host of close personal
friends, all of whom unite with the
Republican in wishing them many
years of happiness and cententment.
They were the recipients Of many
useful articles, mostly silver, which
they will cherish as membranes OF
the happy event.

W. R. C. WILL ERECT
SOLDIER MEMORIAL
BEGIN RAISINGFUNDS ERECT
MEMORIAL IN PARK TO THE
CIVIL WAR VETERANS

Plans are being made by the men,
bers of the Woman's Relief Corps
of Audubon to erect monument to
the veterans of the civil war in the
park. The announcement Of their
plans was made yesterday in connec-
tion with their plans to hold a series
of ice cream socials in the park on
Saturday nights during the summer.
The proceeds of the socials together
with donations from the citizens of
Audubon will be added to a fund
that was started some time ago.
Definite plans regarding the nature
of the monument have not been
made and will depend largely on the
amount that is raised. 1t is not the
intention of the Relief Corps to erect
an elaborate memorial stone but
they want to make 1t credit to the
town and a fitting recognition of
the services of the civil war veter-
ans.
One feature that is being empha-
sized by the committee in charge is
that persons outside the town will
not be asked to contribute. That
decision was made in view of the
fact that the American Legion will
probably start movement to erect
memorial to the world war veter-
ans in which the entire county will
participate and the w. r. c. did not
wish to ask for support from outside
the town for that reason. The Re-
lief Corps have pledged their sup
port to the Legion in their memorial
also when the movement is started.
The first of the ice cream sales
will be held on Saturday afternoon
and evening, June 18th. Original
ly it was planned that the first one
should be this week but the ladies
of the Catholic church will hold one
this week and they did not wish to
conflict with the work Of that organ
izatiop. other dates upon which
the sales will be held are July nth,
August 18th and September 18th.

BRAYTON MAN DIED
AT HOME IN CANADA

Mrs. Cora Freeman of Brayton
late Friday afternoon received a
message telling of the death OF her
son, Forrest Freeman at Red Deer,
Calgary. Canada. Relatives had re-
ceived word recently that he had not
been we'll, but his illness was not
considered serious and they were
shocked to hear that he had passed
away. Deceased was about 20 years
old. He left Brayton about ten
years ago, locating in Ogden, Utah
for time, and later taking charge
of creamery in Calgary. Last fall
he moved on the farm, forming a
partnership with his father-in-law,
James Barham, formerly Brayton
resident.
Mr.. Freeman Is survived by his
wife and two little daughters, aged
nine and one, his mother and four
brothers and five sisters: Percy,
Floyd, Clyde, Virl, Mrs. George
Hardwick and Ruth of Brayton /;
Mary of Omaha, Mrs. Ray Leonard
of Avoca, and Mrs. Edison Herrick OF
Extra. Mrs. Freeman received word
of her sons death while she and her
sister, Mrs. w. Woodward of Allan
tic, were visiting their father, J. J,
Lewis in Extra.
Whether the remains will be
brought to Brayton for interment or
buried at Red Deer the relatives
have not learned yet.

THE COUNTRY IS
NOW BONE DRY
SUPREME COURT OF UNITED
STATES MAKES FINAL RUL-
ING AT WASHINGTON

The United States supreme court
at Washington Monday upheld the
constitutionality Of the federal pro-
hibitory amendment and also the
constitutionality of the enforcement
act pertaining thereto.
The courts opinion on the main
issues involved was unanimous. Jus
tees McKenna and Clark, however,
dissented in part. The petitions
filed by Rhode Island and New Jer-
sey to prevent enforcement of prohi-
bition were dismissed. The court
upheld the federal DEGREES dismiss
ing proceedings, brought to enjoin
enforcement, by Christian Feigen-
span, Newark brewer, and in other
similar cases.
Validity of the prohibition amend
ment and portions of the enforce
ment act was involved in seven sep
arate proceedings before the supreme
court. Two of these were original
suits brought by Rhode Island and
New Jersey as sovereign states to
enjoin enforcement in their jurisdic-
tions upon the grounds that both en-
actments were unconstitutional. The
pother cases were direct appeals from
lower court DEGREES.
Steps to institute the suits were
taken Immediately after the amend
ment became effective on January
18th and on motion OF counsel their
consideration was expedited.
In both the Rhode Island and New
Jersey suits the validity of the 18th
amendment was attacked, but the
New Jersey case was also alleged
that even IL the amendment were
valid, the enforcement act was I'M
constitutional because it had not
been concurred in by New Jersey I'M
der provisions of the amendment Civ
ing the federal and state govern
ments concurrent power to enforce
prohibition. New Jersey also con-
tended that IL the entire enforce
ment act were not unconstitutional,
the portions of it limiting the alco-
holie contents of beverages to less
than one-half of one percent and re-
lating to the dispensing of liquors
for medicinal purposes were invalid.
The cases reaching the court Of
appeals were those of the Kentucky
Distilleries and Warehouse COM
pany, Christian Feigenspan, a New
ark, N. j. brewer, the st. Louis
Brewing Association and George c.
Dempsey, a wholesale liquor dealer
of Boston. who lost injunction pro-
| ceedings In the lower court. The
other case before the court was an
appeal by the government from de-
cision of Federal Judge Geiger en-
joining federal officials from inter-
fering with the Manitowoc Products
Company, a Wisconsin corporation,
in the manufacture of beer contain
| ing 2.5 percent alcohol.
In all the cases a general attack
on the amendment was made on the
ground that II was Revolutionary
and constituted legislation in the
| guise of constitutional amendment
designed to regulate the private hab
its of individuals; that It interfered
with the states police powers: that
1t was invalid because adopted by
| two-thirds Of the members OF con-
| gress present when the vote was TAX
en- and not by two-thirds of the mem
bership and that the amendment was
not ratified by three-fourths of the
states owing to provisions in many
OF the state constitutions requiring
that amendments be submitted to a
referendum,

AUDUBON WINS GAME

Audubon base ball fans had a real
thrill last Sunday when the home
team defeated Carroll in a return
game by a score OF to 4. Several
substitutes were necessary, but all
Of them gave the battery good sup
port which made it possible to win
the game.
The home team has now won
three games and lost three. On
Sunday they will play return game
with Walnut and hope to be able
to even up the score with that team.
The boys are getting into good
shape for real work and the balance
OF the season promises to bring
some exciting games. Following is
last Sundays box score:

PERSHING To QUIT
Sends Letter to Secretary Asking To
Be Relieved Soon

General Pershing has written to
Secretary Baker at Washington ask
ing permission to retire from active
service within the next few
months"
The former commander of the
American expediti0nary forces de-
clared that after the completion of
work incident to the recently enact
ed army reorganization bill his for
NAL duties would require only por-
ton of his time and therefore he
wished to he free to engage in
something more active"
He did not indicate his future
plans.
The generals letter follows:
Dear Mr.. Secretary: Referring
to our conversation of a few days
ago, l wish to say that It has long
been my desire TO return to civil
life. Throughout my military career
have been very much occupied
and the assignments that have fall
en- to my lot have been more or less
important.
at now appears my duties are not
likely to be of character that will
IeuulI luOIe lndu d pOIllOH OI my
time. Under the circumstances /
feel that after the completion of the
work contemplated by the army re-
organization act / could relinquish
military duty without detriment to
the service and thus be free to en-
gage in something more active.
Therefore, unless a situation
should develop to justify my re-
naming, contemplate taking the
step indicated within the next few
months.
SHOULD the necessity arise in a
time of crisis or otherwise, I assure
you, Mr.. Secretary, l shall stand
ready to serve my country in the flu
ture as have in the past.
with great respect and high es-
TEEN, remain, very sincerely,
"John J. Pershing."
The A. E. F. commander will retire
as full general, that title for life
having been conferred on him by
congress. He will be 60 years old
next September and would not reach
the retirement age until 1924.

TWO AUTOMOBILES
MEET In ROAD
EXTRA PEOPLE INJURED NEAR
THAT TOWN WHEN CARS
COLLIDE

Five persons were injured in an
automobile accident which occurred
south of Extra Monday night, short
\ ly before the storm broke. Through
the head-on collision of two cars,
Nels Peterson sustained internal in
juries to his chest, Miss Helen Sim
ersen had her forehead, arm and leg
cut, Edgar Peterson had his lower
lip cut so that several stitches were
necessary, Frank Thielen had the
artery in his right wrist several,
and George Wieland received cuts
on one leg,
Nels Peterson and Miss Simersen
were driving in a Ford sedan, and
their lights went out. Frank
Thielen, Edgar Peterson, George
Wieland and Jacob Hines were the
occupants of the other car. Some
thing went wrong with their lights,
also, and Thielep, WHO was driving
stopped and got out to fix them.
Hardly had he stepped in front of
the car, when the sedan coming
from the opposite direction crashed
into 1t.
Edgar Peterson was thrown thru
the windshield. Nels Peterson seems
to be the most seriously injured. All
day Tuesday he suffered intense
pain, although his physicians say his
condition is not alarming. Hines
was the only one to escape and he
did not even get a scratch.
The accident happened near the
Edgar Peterson home, and all of
the victims were taken there where
Drs. Koob and Riley were called to
bandage their wounds. All the
principals live south OF Extra except
Nels Peterson, who lives southeast
of that place. The sedan was bad
ly wrecked in the crash, but the 9TH
er car had no damage except the
broken windshield.
