area, il not q positive tornado. =,
As foreshadowed in yesterdays DAILY
LEADER, E. w. Ketcham resigned the
secretaryship Of the Building and Loan
association and A. G. Schmidt vas elect
ed by the directors to ill the vacancy.
In series A, s4Oo was bid off at 80 cents.
Little or no money has been put up for
sale in series B for some time owing to
the fact that the receipts have been
used 70 pay of the loans from A. This,

The boys came up from Topeka Kansae,

siderably in the past two years from

We are informed by D. T. Scott that
there is a probability OF a scarcity OF
help to take care Of the approaching
crop and that there is already considera-
BILE inquiry from farmers for harvest
Milwaukee company was preparing to
ship in men to )rk in the harvest
fields, transportation free. but Mr.. Scott
is informed by Agent Larkin that this
is not the case. However, the company
would undoubtedly ship in men if their
attention was called to the matter, and

fJohn Boyd OF Herman township re-
turned Saturday from Harold, S. D.,
forty miles east Of Pierre, where he spent
a month taking baths at the medicinal
we'll at the former place. When he
went away from here, Mr.. Boyd was
badly crippled with rheumatism, but
the waters Of the Harold we'll drove the
disease u OF his system and he is good
as new MI. Boyd is enthusiastic in his
praise Of the benefits to be derived from
a course Of treatment at Harold, and
says almost any disease can be eradica-
ted by systematic bathing in the health
giving waters. One great advantage "a
the cheapness Of the resort. Good hotel
facilities can be procured for 1850 a
week, and bathing costs one dollar fol-
ten baths.
