The supply of gas running out
she stepped from the car to push

wheels slipped into a diAh, tipping
the car against the bank and pin
ming Mrs. Mccarthy between the
car and the bank.
Some little girls who were with
her summoned aid and she was
soon extricated. Her injuries were

Dean Roe's Car Returned
to Atlantic from Audubon

The Paige car, belonging to
Dean Roe, which was damaged
three weeks ago in an accident,
was driven from Audubon to At
lantic, last week, under it's own
power. The body of the car was
completely wrecked, the only part
Of the top which is left is the right
door. 1t was certainly a miracu
lous escape for the occupants.
The car was considerably dam
aged, the fender being broken from
the right side and the front axle
sprung, but not so bad but that it
could be driven home.

CHRISTIAN CHURCH


Evangelistic services will COM
mence at the Christian Church
next Sunday morning with Rev.
Thos. Shaw, pastor of the Chris
tian Church in Atlantic, in charge.
According to our arrangements for
this meeting by Brother Shaw it
will be necessary for your pastor to
be absent from the Sunday morn
ing and evening services to fill his
pulpit at the Christian Church in
Atlantic. This will mean a renewed
effort on the part of every member
to give Rev. Shaw asplendid a hear
ing at the outset. He says that he
will bring some of your old time
friends, former residents of Extra,
to attend to Introductory matters.
This will be chance for you to
have visit with them and they
will sure expect to see you in your
place. Don't fail to give them a
glad hand and show that you ap-
preciate the interest the Atlantic
people are taking in our work. Sue
cess means work, more work, and
then still more work by more peo-
pie. Begin at the beginning and
stay by Brother Shaw till the end.
Rev. Shaw is a graduate from
the educational field, thru the prac-
tice of law into the ministry.
Whether you are a teacher, law
yer or preacher he has had an ac-
quaintance with your problems.
His broad field Of experience has
brot him in touch with all clasSes
of people. His experience is your
opportunity. 1t is fine example
of the spirit Of Christian Brother
hood for his people to loan him to
us for these meetings. Let us not
fail to show that we appreciate
their kindness. Make the meetings
your BIG BUSINESS for the next
few weeks.
From what people say we are
inclined to believe that our Concert
was success. The financial re-
turns were fine for a home talent
venture. We want to thank all,
both ticket sellers and ticket buy
ers for helping to put if above the
forty dollar mark. You have all
given us u splendid lift on our new
song books. We hope that you got
your moneys worth for we may
want to do something of the kind
again sometime. Now do not for
get that we are going to put your
money into some new books for
you to help use, and to enjoy with
us. The order will be speeding away
to the publisher in a few hours.
Remember the Endeavor meet
ing at $50. Miss Boyd will be the
leader. This is the assurance of a
wide awake meeting. Wish | could
be there, don't you?

BODY OF MRS. JOE
MEURER LAID TO REST.
Former Extra Lady Sue
cumbs after An Attack
of Summer Flu

Many people were made sad
Saturday by the death Of Mrs.
J. S. Meurer who died after an ill

was very much devoted to her
home and family but has also
taken the greatest interest in the

her life lived faithful and active
member of the Catholic church.
While a resident of Newton for
only two years, she has become
one of the leading women of the
city and her many kind deeds and
her willingness to serve has made
her life one to be remembered by
friends and acquaintances who
grieve with the family because of
the loss of their loved one.
Helen Agnes Navratil was born
in Audubon thirty-four years ago
last April and was married No
vember 80, 1916, to ]. S. Meurer
at Extra, Iowa. To this union one
son, Marvin, was born thirteen
months ago last Wednesday.
Her death makes the fourth one
in her family within a period Of a
few years, her father and two
brothers having preceded her in
death. She is survived by her
husband who is member of the
furniture company of Meurer,
Murdoch & Toedt, and her baby
son, Marvin; her mother, Mrs.
