Herbert Latin is feeling pretty
good, Notwithstanding he came out
of the tussle with a bull Wednesday

the training afforded by that i1stitu
tion A mining engineer commands

That part of South Dakota com
prising Hand and Hyde counties is
complaining of suffering from a
very heavy crop of small grain this
season. As viewed from the train
