Cowboys Suing Fair
Association for $4,000

The cowboys who staged the
roundup at Atlantic July Pa 5
have sued the Cass County Fair
Association for their services in the
entertainment. The sum claimed
is $4,000 which they say is due
them.
The affair, which was to have
lasted three days, was called off at
the end of the second day. The
cowboys refused to work as they
said they had not received their
prize money, nor had they been
paid for their services in fitting the
grounds for the show.
Before leaving Atlantic, the
boys employed attorneys to handle
their claims.

Bride and Groom Hooked
their Wagon to a Ford

A lively charivari party which
drove through town Monday even
ing bearing a bride and groom in a
two-wheeled vehicle hitched to the
back of a Ford, caused quite a
little excitement in our quiet berg.
The din of the hilarious procession
called out our stay-at-homes to
discover it's cause, and almost
caused a panic at the Chautauqua
tent where the audience was in
terested in spirited lecture.
It transpired that the bride and
groom, Miss Marie Freeman and
Holger N. Nielsen, both of Bray
ton, had just returned from Omaha
from their honeymoon trip after
having been married in Atlantic
the week previous, and the young
people Of their home town, accord
ing to the usual custom, chariv-
aried them in the above manner.
They had their fun and so did the
onlookers.

DANISH LUTHERAN NOTES.
EXTRA and HAMLIN

Tuesday Elvin Harold Sorensen
was buried in the Extra cemetery.
He was nearly twelve years old
when killed last Sunday on his
way to Sunday School at the Ed
wards schoolhouse. The sudden
bereavement was a severe shock to
his parents and three brothers.
The sympathy Of the whole COM
munity was clearly expressed by
the large attendance at the funeral
services both at the home and in
the church. Rev. Jensen spoke a
few words of comfort in the Da-
nish language at the home, and in
the church gave in English an adj
dress on Mark 5:35: ''Fear not,
only believed" We were sorry that
only about one-half of the SYM
pathizers were able to get into the
church The church was beauti-
fully decorated for the occasion,
for which our committee deserves
praise.
Last Wednesday the Hamlin La
dies Aid had another of those we'll
attended meetings at the home of
Mrs. Andrew Lauritsen. In the
evening about seventy young peo-
pie gathered for the Y. P. Society's
Lawn Social up on the pleasant
hill with Mr.. and Mrs. Niels Rat
tenborg. We surely enjoyed .
good time until that much needed
rain drove us home in a hurry.
Next Sunday there will be Da-
nish church services at Hamlin in
the morning at 1890; and at Exi-
ra in the evening at 8:l5 o'clock.
Let us fill the pews.
Thursday the Y. P. Society at
Extra meets at the church. The
pastor will lecture on the Luthe-
ran church in Denmark.
Sunday, the 3lst, both congre-
cations will have a united open air
service at II o'clock in the morn
ing at George Struthers' grove near
the highway between the two
towns. After basket luncheon,
the Sunday school children and
teachers will have charge Of the
day.

1921 cHAUTAUQUA
PROVED REAL TREAT
Much Pleasure Afforded
Those Fortunate Enough
to Attend


ended last Monday eve after a
i've day program Of attractions
furnished by the Midland Chau-
tauqua Circuit of Des Moines.
The Chautauqua was sponsored
by the Extra Commercial Club,
with DR.. Jacobsen, ]. I. Hensley
and John Nelson acting as COM
mittee.
The first days program was
given by the Bowers Concerteers,
a quartet of young men who gave
an excellent group of orchestra
numbers, male quartets, ETC., and
were much enjoyed. They fur
nished the entire program Thurs
day p. M, and were augmented in
the evening by George G. Click
with his splendid lecture, "slaves
of Tradition" Mr.. Click was one
OF the very best numbers given us
during the week.
On Friday, we were privileged to
hear Princess Neawanna in a plea
for her people, and to see some
most interesting relics of their
past mode of living. The Wales
Players gave their famous play
entitled "Too Much Business"
Friday eve, which drew the record
crowd for the week, and no one
went away disappointed. This
was considered by many the best
number of the entire chautauqua
Saturday was given over to the
Howard Quintet and to Chaplain
Zimmerman with his lecture on
Mexico, Its Possibilities. Mr..
Zimmerman is a fluent speaker and
was full of his subject. The How
ard Quintet was handicapped in
that Prof. Howard was suffering
from broken arm and could not
take his part as leading violinist in
their program. However, they
gave a very fine program Of Or
chestra and solo work. i.
Sunday was by all odds the ban
ner day, with Myra Casterline
Smith in her reading Happiness"
and Bland's Musical Marines both
afternoon and evening. Both
numbers were far ahead of the
ordinary chautauqua entertain
ment and it was rare privilege to
have heard both in one day. Mon
day was given over to The Pilgrim
Entertainers which included the
Davis Sisters and Mr.. Latowsky in
a varied and enjoyable program
of music and readings, and Con-
gresham Ellsworth of Minnesota
who gave us the only political
speech of the week and was we'll
received. A very fine part Of the
chautauqua work was the pageant
presented by Junior Town under
the guidance Of Miss Cedric, leader
of Junior Chautauqua.
The crowds this year were below
Extras usual chautauqua attend
ance, owing to the fact that har-
vest kept farmers and their FAM
lilies busy at home. But many
ATTENDED every session and feel
that it was a week very pro6tably
spent.

 Now is mighty good time for our citizens to get busy and build the pike from Searcy to Pangburn and thence to the county line. Material and labor have come down to a point where this pike might be built at reasonable cost. Delay is dangerous as Conway IS laying her plans to invade Searcy $ territory

TO RESUME TRAFFIC
 ALONG MISSISSIPPI
tBy the Associated Pressl

Chicago, July 29.-A resumption of river traffic along America's chief river highway. the Mississippi, was forecast here last week with the ar rival at New Orleans of shipment equal to 75 carloads of freight, one of the carloads containing books.
 The trip which was partly made by rail out of Chicago to the Miss issippi river consumed twelve days and inquiry has revealed that this is only the ordinary time that it has taken numerous similar cargoes to be carried the 125O miles.
 Rivermen point out it is almost cer- tain that the Chicago drainage canal which will connect Lake Michigan with the Mississippi by a canal suf- ficient to accommodate the largest barge now operating on inland waters will be completed within five years They call attention to the large amount of freight now going south by water and freely state that the agitation that has brought the great CT waterways movement to the force has awakened the public to the pos sigilities of water shipment.
 F. H. Maloney, of the Mississippi Warrior Barge line said "More anC more people are shipping by wate, and it is only question of short time when the river trade, more ul to date and with all of the old time faults eliminated, will be flourishing to far greater extent than in the days when huge shipments by rail road were unknown"
