Milbank has a union-the first
of the kind in the state so far as
we are able to learn. The union
has about fourteen members and
was organized very quietly, the
papers drawn up and signed,
and will protect each other
through thick and thin, and
aid each other in times of dis
tress. The affair promises to be
one Uf more than ordinary oc-
currance as some may witness
later. During the last two weeks
a new industry has sprung up in
the city-that of automobile
brilding-or in their own terms
'a1togo. A couple of bright
boys were not content with the
little express wagon
with which they were playing
and have had them remodeled,
the kindness of fifteen
cents and the local blacksmiths,
a crank and handle attachm ent
having been applied to the rear
axle. With these the boys pro-
pei themselves about town using
the cement sidewalks mostly.
Since the first carts we're fixed
n this manner nearly every boy
N the city has had a like "auto-
GO made. The first thing the
boys did was to form union as
above cited and each owner of an
''autogo' signed it. They are
living up to their agreement so
FAR as running boys, dogs, etc.,
off the sidewalks.
Mitchell's annual corn palace
and harvest festival will be cele-
orated this year with a new
building erected by the enter.

aiticent new building is 100 feet
wide and 140 feet long with large
1omes over 100 feet in height
and has seating capacity of over
5000. There will be attractions
galore during the whole week,

sed. They have secured the
world famous Sorrentio's Banda
Rosa which will be without doubt
the musical event of the season.
A second part of the program
will be a grand scenic production
of Don Lorenzo Perosi's devotion
al oratorio "The Resurrection of
Christ" Mitchell's corn palace
IS the greatest attraction held in
the northwest. People from all
parts of the union have visited the
corn palace in previous years and
everyone cannot say too much
for it's glorious enterprise and
the beauty of this grand palace,
and declare they never dreamed
that such beautiful effects could
be wrought out of the products
OF our fields. Free street attract
ions every afternoon and even
ing, twelve bands have been
to play on the streets.
