CONGREGATIONAL cnURchNoTEs.

The annual fair under the auspices
of the ladies of the Congregational
church was held on Wednesday after
noon at the Town hall. The weather
was all that could be desired and the
attendance throughout the afternoon
and early evening was very large. The
proceeds were about $40. This splen-
did result is due to the cooperation
of the ladies of the church under the
leadership of the able and energetic
Mrs w. M. Reynolds. The hall pre-
sented d bright appearance.
Across the stage front were jardiniers
fill with Golden Glow blossoms, while
the confectionery, fancy work and re-
freshment tables in their gay attire,
and with their charming attendants
mostly dressed in white, presented a
sight that interested and pleased all
who visited the hall.

fOWLAND'S

The store begins to suffer the discomforts of ex-
panslon.
Will you bear with them in the knowledge that
a bigger, better store is to be the result.
Much of our present selling floor must be tenn
porarily given up.
Departments will have to be crowded together
Two will divide the space formerly used by one, in
some instances
Installing additional elevator, the latest mod
ell PIunger, takes up more room.
Altogether the next few weeks and months will
see the store rather crowded
But it shall not suffer in attraction! That we
promise you.
Merchandise is the magnet. And merchandise
will be better than ever. That we promise, too.
And when the work of charging and changing
is done, we'll throw wider open than ever the doors
of the new store-a newer better, ever-growing
HoWlands.

HEROIC SACRIFICE.
Young Woman Offers TO Aid IN re
storinq Woman's Cutic'e.

Sioux Falls. s. D.. Feb. b.--Mlss
Mary Berg, daughter OF c. j. Berg. q
prominent resident of Volga. by the
exhibition of a genuine spirit OF! seli
sacrifice has demonstrated that all the
heroines are not to be found nursing
soldiers on the battlefields or IN the
army hospitals.
Last September Mrs. Hildus t'ge-.
berg, residing nea Volga. was serious
ly burned as the result of an explosion
caused by attempting to start a nre
in a cook stove with kerosene OH. since
that time the unfortunate woman mas
been a patient in a hospital at Noisa.
Several of the burns upon her BODY
were so large and deep that they re-
fused to yield to medical treatment
New skin refused to grow over these
burned places and the only thing thai
remained to be done was to lind some7
one who would volunteer to have soma
cuticle taken from their body so ir
could be grated IN the affected por-
tions OF the body of Mrs. Egeberg,
which refused to heal.
When Informed of this determination
on the part of the physicians, Miss
Berg volunteered to submit to an OPP
Grafton so sufficient cuticle could be re-
moved from her body for the purpose
stated, and two physicians performed
the operation. The cuticle thus Sc
cured has now been grated on tho
burned portions Of the body of Mrs
Egeberg, and the wounds are now eX-
pected to heal quite rapidly.
An Interesting feature OF the matter
Is that Mrs. Egeberg n Miss BERG
are strangers. the young lady being
prompted in her action solely by .
Snirit of self sacrifice.

TAME GRASS PAYS.
South Dakota Farmers Now Make
Annual Crop.

Clear Lake, s.. D., Feb. Some years
ago 1t was the general belief that tame
grasses could not successfully be raised IN
this part of South Dakota, but the expert
cnce of farmers residing in this locality mas
demonstrated that the soil and climate
In this part of the state is adapted to the
production of tame grasses. Among those
who have made a success of this ompar
lively new industry in South Dakota are
the Taylor Bros. who for some years nave,
| occupied what Is known as the Grant
ranch. near here. They have just COM
| pletcd shipping their timothy seed crop,
| which was raised last season. The ship
ment consisted of over 1000 bushels, and
as this seed is worth $s.lo per hundred
pounds in Chicago they will realize a good
profit from the and devoted to this crop.
In addition to the amount shipped they
| retained a large quantity of the seed for
| seeding purposes this season and sold sup
| plies to many other farmers in this vtcin-
| ity. 1t Is co~nservatively estimated that an
aggregate of about ten carloads of tim
othy seed. or about 5000 bushels. is an
nually shipped from this and other points
in Deuel. county. The farmers OF the
county also are having good success in the
-aising OF clover and alfalfa.

From Judge.
II was a church sociable. and Tor the
entertainment and Instruction OF tho
guests the committee had prepared, some
slips of paper on which were printed q
word puszle-that Is. a little story war
told. with certain words indicated oy
banks. The guests were expected to MI
in the blanks with the proper worcA ana
the one succeeding in guessing nearest
the total number OF words correctly should
have the prize. After the slips had been
filled they were read by their holders. In
its puzzle shape the slip bore something
like this:
Near the waters of the Mediterranean
a - old man wearing q - raGXed
coat was walking along the - way.
He was approached by a - man who
asked him, What " your - national
ity': To which the --- old man replied.
Go to - and you Will md out Where
at the - man." etc. etc.
Most of tho contestants . succeeded IN
filing the blanks so that the Anecdote
read pleasingly-some of them were. even
funny: but the shocking surprise Of the
evening came when the young son OK the
local livery man arose and read his effort.
He was stopped after the second sentence.
it being evident that he had not thorough
~ grasped the proposition. He had re-
| placed the blanks with swear words.
