He Knows Where Mitchell is
Now

The manager of Sousa's band is ex-
tremely anxious to pay return engage
ment at Mitchell at the corn palace
next September-whereat the Mitchell
folks are laughing in their sleeves.
When the manager was approached by
President Gale of the corn palace com.
mittee last year, the great Sousa, that
has played before all the crowned
nabobs Of Europe, seemed surprised.
When he learned that Mitchell was out
in South Dakota he was still more sur
prised II give two concerts in New
York, two in Philadelphia, two in
Chicago" said the March King" ''and
you want me to play six days in Mitch.
ell he thought Mr.. Gale was a
''little off, but he gave him a million.
aire figure that he expected would end
the Mitchell dream of glory. Not 80,
however Mr.. Gale said the figure was
reasonable and the deal was made.
Sousa came to Mitchell and the people
came to hear his magnificent band Sousa
was charmed with Mitchell and the
people we're charmed with Sousa. The
lady members of Sousa's organiza tion
we're not only delighted with the town
and the people but they carried away
with them all the great big Lincolp
county apples as souvenirs of our
wonderful country. Sousa said he had
never before played to such magnificent
audiences who enjoyed music

EXPECTS A GREAT YEAR.
Col. Grigsby Sees Bright Pros
poets for South Dakota.

While in Huron recently Col. Melvin
Grigsby, of Sioux Falls, received q
hearty greeting from numerous old
time friends Referring to South Da-
kota's prospects and outlook for the
present year, Col. Grisby expressed the
belief that SO far as general develop
ment along agricultural lines is con-
cerned, indications pointed to the pres
ent being one of the greatest years in
the history of the state. Already large
numbers of purchasers of farm lands
and actual farmers and stockmen are
coming in, and within the next few
weeks there will be an unusual immi'
grafton of the very best classes OF
people settling in towns and on farms
in every part of the state. The day OF
cheap land is passed and the man who
possesses quarter section or more OF
South Dakota dirt is indeed fortunate.

The Rural Telephone.

Worlds Work: Nearly every day
some one invents or discovers a new use
for it. One day the girl at Central"
received this message: Hello! Say,
Central, have put the receiver of the
phone in the baby's cradle. and if she
wakes up and cries call me- up at No.
H."
1t must have been an unusually ab-
sent-minded woman who sent in the
message: 'Oh! Central! Ring me up in
fifteen minutes, so that I wont forget to
take the bread out of the oven q.
If some one finds it necessary to take
night train, the operator at the ex-
change will receive some such message
as this: Central, ring me up half an
hour before the 2:17 train in the morn.
ing See if it is late before you call
me, please"
Go into the exchange during rush
period"-say at o'clock in the morn
ing-and you will see the telephone
girl stand up, push her chair into a
corner and throw plugs with which
connections we're made as fast as her
arms can fly, for an hour at stretch
All she will have time to say to you
will be, Every woman in town is
ordering things for dinner"
There are about thirty subscribers who
are called regularly every morning by
the telephone instead of by an alarm
clock. The Central girl is supposed
to know the time Of all railway trains,
and if train happens to be late, how
