Mr. and Mrs. Wtm. Blntner Sr.
have returned, from lOmaha where
they went a feiw days ago io see
the wreck ruin amid devastation) of
the Easter Sunday cyclone at Om
aha. Mr. Blntner says "the nulin
of the homes of the people can
not be described. The suffering
and destitution id terrible to re
late. As an example, try to think
of youT own home, with a good
troof over your heads with ifiur.nltun
enough tor youir needs, with food
lin pantry a,nd cellar for perhaps
a, month or two, with fuel in plen
ty and comfiortajbl-e bed and bad
ding fox the family and clothing for
all. Then to lose ail)! im| less tha,n
a miimute by the passing of that
tunnel shaped' cloud. You) are
indeed fortunate If yioutr family is
uninjured. But many to that cy
clone were killed and ma,ny iin
Jured. Many aTe destitute and
miuet have assistance. Clothimg, as
well as food is ne^essairy."
The Journal believes some help
lor the needy could be obtained
In Exira
We are requested to say, since
we have put the above into typei,
that a'l'li who desire to be generous
to these poor people will bring
yoiur donation® to the building

Clean Dp tbe Cemetery
Are you Interested in keeping the
cemetery clean. If so, will you co
operate wlththia Lady Boostersin
this work.
Most every one knows the good
results obtained by tbje Boosters
last year In this work. Now, we
want to -do more this year. But
to do this we need the co-openratlon
Cor all Lot owners and friends.
Our plans were to keep, the*
drives and paths clean im®wed. Thi
iwe are able to do by our own ef
forts, buit, wihat we want now to
do is to ketep thie entire cemetn-y
In first class condition. We can
not do this without financial as
sistance from Lot owners and
friends. J|||
At our last meeting it was decV
ded to solicit among interested par
ties for the sum of One Dollar this
amount to insuire special attention
to lot or graves mentioned.
Much discussion has arisen re
gardlng the removal of trees in
f^'"*^he cemetery. The ladies will be
pleased to attend to this mater
far anyone giving them authority
do so.
We will also have a general clean
I up day a little later on and will

Week by week this truth Is being

It has the largest and best select

Mischievous
Whiie the Easter program was
being rendered at the Congrega
tional Church last Sabbath eve
ning, some one or more persons,
intent on perpetrating a joke, on
the congregation, so impregnated
the air in the church with snuff
that it affected nearly everyone
present. Coughing, sneezing, ruib
bing the eyes, while many gasped
for breath, seemed to be the fate
of nearly all present. If th. was
do.ne for a joki by young men, as
i« now supposed, then the joke
smith is carrying it too far and
must in the name of humanity be
subjected to an offended law. It
•is a pleasure la see you.ng and
old enjoying themselves, as they
were at the program, but that
pleasure should not be infringed
upon by the acts of others, mali
ciously or even jokingly, inclined,
whoever he may be. There is a
time to sow "wild oats'" but that
can be done without disturbing a
congregation in any mode of wor
ship. The Journal has always
been a friend to the you'ng people
and if this was done for a joke
wei trust it may be partly over

EXIRA LAD HURT
Pari Andrews, SOn of Senator
Andrews Injured in Four Horse
Team Runaway. In Hontana.
Shoshoni, Wyo., Mar. 28thl
Dear Dad:—Thought I would
write you a line amd give you some
thing to decipher, writing this
with my left hjamd and lying
down. The reason for It is that
la»t Saturday I was hauling rock
down to any place to rip-raip the
river bank, and had on four hor
ses to get up the hill. Coming back
they ran away and threw me out,
throwing my right elbow out of
joint, breaking the big bone im
the arm between my shoulder aind
elbow, breaking my nose and bruis
ing the left side of my face some.
Today is the first I have opened
my left eye since the accident.
Monday it was just a big bunch
the size of a pint cup and red as
fire. My firont teeth were also
driven back a ways. My left shoul
der and elbow were bruised anid a
big patch was torn off the back of
my left hand. My left leg and
chest ware also bruised a little.
The doctor came out the sama
day and put me together and star
ted me going. He came out again
yesterday and gave my ar.m the
permanent set, said it was joined
perfectly. He hasn't got but one
holler out of me, and that was
yesterday when he rum a pin in
•my arm while pinning a bandage.
I am not writing this to alarm
you lm anyway, but to let you know
just how I am in case yott hear
of it from someome else. I have
not missed a day walking around a
little, went clear to the barn today.
What surprises me is that I
wasn't killed outright. Think, it
was a case of too many oa,t». The
horses hadin't dome anything for
sefveratV days and I just wasm't big

The cattle are most all up above

The river started to break up
about the 10th, then the weather
changed and has been changeable
ever since. I thiink it will coma a
flying now. There is still too
much frost for field or ditch work.
We have all our seed ready tho'
and can crack In pretty quick. We.
sold over 5000 dollars of clean oats
from the small bin and kept over
1000 lb3 for our own! seed. Then we
sent o:f andi got some time spring
wheat and enough Ciderbracketr bar

Thinking of Thee
How dear to my heart is the
Journal's subscriber, who pays in
advance the first of each yeair
who lays down the dollar and does
it quite gladly, and casts rou,ndl
the office a halo of cheer. He nev
er says "stop it I cainnot af
ford it, I'm getting more papers
than I can now read." But aiwaya
says "send it, our people all Oike
it—in fact we all think it a help
and a need." How welcome his
check when it reaches our sanc
tum, How it makes our pulse throb
hoiw it makes our hearts danioe.
We outwardly thank him we in
wardly bless him—-the steady sub
scriber who pays in advance.
