EXTRAS CELEBRATION
A BIG SUCCESS
Large Crowd Here and Day
Passed Off Pleasantly
for Everybody

On account of the rain a part of
the program for the Fourth of
July celebration which was to have
taken place in the forenoon was
postponed until after dinner. In
the meantime patriotic airs were
played by the band which was on
the ground as scheduled.
By noon, the roads were in good
condition and the crowd gathered
rapidly. AT l:3O, Rev. Mack, Of
Audubon, took the stand and de-
iivered an excellent address, which
was listened to with great appre-
citation by those who could get
within hearing distance.
Then came the parade under the
able management of Mr. Small.
In preparing the floats our busi-
ness men and organizations fairly
outdid themselves and the parade
was one of the best, if not the
best, which has ever been staged
in Extra. The judges gave Miss
Cecilia Tharnish of the Variety
Store first prize, the American Lee
qion second prize and MI. Small,
third.
The usual games and races fol-
lowed, and there were boxing and
wrestling exhibitions while a
merry-go-round aided in the
merry round Of pleasures, especial
ly for the little folks.
Those who enjoy tripping the
light fantastic we're given ample
opportunity. The new American
Legion hall and dancing pavilion
were centers Of attraction for great
numbers and the dancing continued
until the "wee sma' hours.
Much credit is due the business
men and women Of Eixra for their
enthusiasm which made our sue
cess possible, and to the band
which furnished such an abundance
of excellent music.

DANISH LUTHERAN NOTES

GlAlfIA ana dAMLlN
On account of the excessive heat
during July and August, we have
decided to cease our Sunday after
noon meetings and everybody at
tend the evening meetings. This
coming Sunday there will be no af-
ternoon meeting in Extra, but we
will have English service in the
evening. At Hamlin, the services
go on as before. Next Sunday
morning there will be Holy Com
munlon during the service. All
our morning services commence at
1870 O'Clock. Sunday schools at
$50. Don't forget any and every
body is welcome to take part in
the Bible class during the Sunday
school hour, which the pastor con-
ducts on those Sundays when we
have the morning service. This
same welcome will greet you from
the Bible class at Extra, which Mr..
Hans Mortensen has in charge.
Those of our people who live so
far away that they must drive in
order to have their children attend
Sunday school, should avail them.
selves of the invitation. How.
ever, be sure your children attend
the Sunday school as regularly as
possible. 1t is nearly impossible
to get along in this world without
religion, but it is very impossible
IN the next one. The Sunday
school is the only institution where
continual Christian instruction is
offered. No words can bespeak
the shame and sorrow those par
ents bring down upon themselves
and others, who neglect to secure
for their little ones the knowledge
of God and his order of Salvation.
The Sunday school today is the
backbone Of our nation and our
church tomorrow.

Had Nothing on This

One of the most deplorable
things that could happen in a civ
ilized town, and which we have
had occasion to witness in many a
day, was brought right before our
eyes Friday evening last, while
seated in our yard enjoying an
evening of rest and solitude.
Across the way the band was re-
hearsing for our Fourth of July
celebration, and all seemed calm
and serene.
Presently, bunch of boys saun-
tered down the narrow street and
camped near the place of practice,
seemingly intent upon enjoying the
melodious strains which were
bursting forth upon the torrid
atmosphere.
After time, they seemed to lose
control of their better selves"
and, evidently on mischief bent,.
''mosied" around the building,
and, In manner unbe-
coming young gentlemen, began
throwing particles through an open
window onto a young player who
was there, pestering him in way
which riled him, and he came out,
evidently with the intention of
Settling the boys. AS a result,
condab took place which grew
from bad to worse in verbal
way. just at this moment out
came the father of the boy who
had been annoyed, and mixed into
the brawl, (Which had by this time
assumed the proportions Of a fsticH
bout, by holding off one of the
young fellows, who seemed deter
mined to get into the affair, with
the words, Let 'em fight" issuing
forth with every breath while his
son and another of the boys were
down on the ground, pounding
each other furiously. Presently,
the father and son returned to the
l.
building, only to return in a few
moments seemingly with renewed
vigor, and hadit not been for the
intrusion of others who had arrived
on the scene, another round seemed
certain to have been staged.
AS result, one of the boys is
nursing fractured eye which
required two stitches to be taken
to get it back into place, and he
and two others were each fined
