vital statistics law passed at the recent
session which put South Dakota into
a class with the New England states,
New York and Michigan, some dozen
states, which gather similar Stats.

The Crisis

In the opinion of every one who
saw "The Crisis" Saturday evening,
it is the best play, the company com.
posed of the best artists and Miss
Comstock the greatest star who has
ever appeared in Aberdeen The ap-
plause during the evening was spon-
taneous and enthusiastic. There
were a number of curtain calls and
three were demanded at the close of
the second act.
Miss ComstOck made a CONQUEST
very easily on the hearts of her audi
ence. In the story Of the Crisis. Vir-
ginia Carvel, the heroine, is loved by
pretty nearly everybody and in the
play, Nannette Comstock makes it
seem natural enough. 1t is said that
all actors and actresses hate some
night stands" such as this companv
has to make while playing through
this part of the world, and Miss Com.
stocks Aberdeen friends certainly
DO not wish her any discomforts hnt
they all do hope that she may again
visit Aberdeen.
Miss Comstock's supporting com.
pany is uniformly good. AS is
natural, some favor n and some an.
other, but John Dugan, who PLAYED
the part of Eliphalet Hopper, seemed
To- great many the best actor Of all

MACHINERY MIDDLE
MeIlette parties Recover GOODS
Disposed Of in This
County
Cargo Of Fraudulent Dealing
Lodged Against Former
Aberdeen Man

William Drum, for years a resldehl
of Frederick but more recently ..
this city, has left town under a clouo
and his whereabouts are at present
unknown. Drum was engaged IN tle
machinery business while living ID
Frederick and worked cor an ssagrlcul-
tural implement company for some
time after coming to Aberdeen.
He recently bought the stock OF
machinery at Mellette owned by W. A.
Pinkerton, now of Aberdeen.
Drum, so it is said, paid Pinkerton
$500 when the deal was made and
gave him a mortgage for the balance,
$500. 1t was agreed that Drum
should turn over to Pinkerton such
money or notes as he should receive
from the sale of the mOrtgaged goods
to apply on the Indebtedness.
Something seems to have impelled
Drum to try to hide or dispose OF
much of the stock so that he might
secure the proceeds for himself. 1t
is not clear what his motives were
nor exactly what he expected to do
but at all events, he took several
parties down to Mellette Sunday and
disposed of some of the property to
them. A. E. Nipple and Chas. Cur
tiss of this city went to Mellette with
him and brought back three wagons,
two buggies and a horse. That
same night Drum stopped at the
house of Ed Quinn, a farmer who
lives six miles south Of town, and
made a bargain with him for several
pieces of machinery anda lot of Irvine.
Pinkerton learned on Monday Of
what Drum had done and at once
started out with Deputy Sheriff And
erson to locate his property.
Curtiss and Whipple gave up what
they had but protested that they had
acted in good faith. They could not
show that they had paid any money
for their goods. Quinn related the
circumstances to the officers and
turned over to.them not only all they
expected to find there but quite lit
tie besides.
1t has been learned that Drum
sold some goods to other parties and
received payment therefore and kept
the money.
Should Drum be found it is quite
likely that he would be arrested but
it is not"likely that charges will be
preferred against the others.

NORTHWEST BROWN
Sends Out Another Train Load
of Corn Fed Beef

Last Saturdays shipment of stock
brought a nice little 'twad" to Frede-
rick. 1t was a solid train of twenty
one cars and the returns figure close
around 1923, 600. Nine cars of cattle
were billed to St. Paul and the bal
ance wen. to Chicago.
w. NJ. Hicks had six cars of cattle
that were not stricktly fat but sold
for 1886, and his one car of hogs
brought s5.37 per 100 pounds.
G. B. Howell had two loads of
straight fat steers that sold for $685.
per hundred pounds, topping the
shipment.
Ace Webster's two loads brought
81 80 with five out.
Daulton & Howell sold nine loads
Of cattle here at S4.00 that went on
the same train and their loads of
hogs brought about SIS. 81.
Our readers outside of Dakota will
please note that this is the second
full trainload of corn-fed stock ship
ped from Frederick within a few
weeks, all faJtened on Dakota grain.
Many carloads besides have gone, one
or two at a time, and the coming sea-
son will develop a greater interest in
corn, cattle and hogs.
Our soil is "ripening" and becom-
ing better adapted to corn each year as
1t loses the alkaline properties inner
ent to new soil. Watch our future.

Extension of Milwaukee From
Chamberlain Now Considered
a Ceartainty
Plans for the Crossing of the
Big Muddy Already
Perfected

The Gazette has said that the
White River Valley Railway Com
pany contemplated the construction
of a railroad this year from Chamber
lain, South Dakota, to the Black
Hills and that two of the incorpora-
tors resided in Mitchell and three of
them in Chicago.
The Gazette has said that Congress
quietly passed an act in January
granting to the White River Valley
Railway Company the right to con-
struct a combination railway bridge
across the Missouri river, at or near
Chamberlain.
The Gazette has said that in heb
ruary articles of incorporation were
filed at Pierre whereby the White
River Valley Land Company, whose
incorporators reside in Mitchell and
Chicago, and that three weeks ago
they had purchased 500, 600 acres of
land from Oacoma west in Lyman
county about 40 miles.
The Gazette has said that there
we're three Chicago civil engineers
laying out the lines of the 40 acres of
railway grounds at Chamberlain, and
sounding the Missouri river with the
appearance of locating the distance
through the quicksand to a solid rock
formation.
Senator o. L. Branson, secretary Of
the White River Valley Railway
Company, will go to Chicago the first
of next week where there will be a
meeting of the directors and opera
tors of the new company relative to
the construction of the new line west
from Chamberlain to the Black Hills.
H. F. Hunter, who is vice president
of the e company, will go east to.
morrow from Chamberlain, he having
been there since Monday on business
for the company.
Mr.. Hunter went before the Cham
berlain city council Tuesday after
Dor and stated they wished a right
of way across Main street north of
American creek about 300 feet from
their present tracks and they also
wanted a 100-foot wide right of way,
diagonally across American Island
from the northeast to the southwest,
a distance of about one mile. He
stated that the main channel Of the
river would be bridged by a system
of pontoons similar to the Mississippi
river at McGregor, Iowa, and that
the west sideof the island could be
bridged by a rip-rap dyking and pill
ing. He also stated that sixty cars
Of material were on the siding of the
Milwaukee west OF Mason City, and
more were to follow from Finley
Junction, Michigan, at an early date
Mr.. Hunter furthe, said we will be
throwing dirt west of the river ir
less than forty days as..we are not
compelled to wait until our bridge i.
constructed, as we can puta grader
at work by crossing on the present
ferry boats in use. The city council
promised to pass an ordinance at its
next meeting granting the right o
way requested.
The three civil engineers sent GU
from Chicago to Chamberlain OF
March 10th have for the present fin
ished surveying in and around tn
grounds at that town, and sine

FRESHNESS OF EGGS.
Various Methods by Which the Test May Be Made to Prove
 Quality.

There are many old ways of testing the freshness of eggs. Some of them may be of little value. Here is one that is go- ing the rounds, but for which we cannot vouch. It may be all right: Eggs are placed fin a pan of water. giving each room enough so that it's motions will not be interfered with by the others. The air in the egg will be governed ac- cording to the age of the egg. if the egg has been kept in a moderately warm state. If the eggs are just laid they will be motionless. If they are more than . week old they will partly stand Oh the little end. This is because the air cham Der is in the other end of the egg. This air chamber grows larger as the egg be- comes older and the moisture in it evaD- crates. When the eggs get still older they will stand up straight in the water and when very old will float.
 This test. of course says the Farmers World. would be of no value in the case of pickled eggs or of eggs kept in cold storage where the temperature was so low that the evaporation of moisture from the eggs would be very small

 bought 28 old hens last April and at once ruled book for keeping a record of the eggs laid, says w. B. Lloyd, in Orange Judd Farmer. The accompanying dia- gram. shows the page as ruled and marked, also the entries for few days. Our record shows that from the day we bought them, April 4, to the present time we have not missed getting an egg single day. A glance at the page shows how the number of eggs varies in the different months and on different days of the same month.
 To get at the value of the eggs laid, some fixed standard, day or market must be selected, for the eggs used in the home and for incubation are worth as much as those sold, and the hens should be credited with them. We selected the cash price paid in our local market on Saturdays as the price at which to credit our hens. Each Saturday evening when making the entries of the work and other transactions of the day, we estimate the number of eggs brought to the home dur ing the week and enter them in page of the same book, in which the daily record is kept, thus: April 16 (93). "A dozen at 15 cents, $1.16; December 17 (40), 3 Is dozen at 28 cents. 93 cents.
 From this page we can in a moment tell how much the eggs produced in a given month or three months or the year were worth.
 In the same book may be entered the value of the chickens killed for home use or sold. These two accounts will give the value of the poultry products in ready tables.
 We also devote page of the same book to keeping an account of the outlay for feed, grit and eggs for incubation. The difference between the outgo and in- come gives the hens profit.

HANDY LAYING RECORD.
How an Account May Be Kept of the Profits from the
 Flock.

Many farmers have no idea what it costs to keep their hens. or what is the income from them. A simple account book and a moments attention to make the entry will tell the story so at any time one can in few moments tell just what his hens have earned since begin ming the account.
 If one has a flock of hens at the open Ing of the year, it is good plan to begin the account then. A blank book such as the children use in school for their ex- ercises, costing five or ten cents, will an swer we'll and will give space enough for several years. If there are 31 or more lines on each page, a page will do for
