Japan. pipe BeII.

There is a bell in Tokyo, Japan.
which is made from tobacco pipes.
SO says the legend inscribed around
the outside In four languages, English.
French, German and Japanese.
The English version runs as follows:
'"This bell, cast in the city Of Tokyo,
Japan, Dec. 10. 1892, by Tsuda Sen, is
made from the metal of tobacco pipes
of more than a thousand men. once
slaves, now free men,"
The story Is that in 1892 a woman
missionary from America waged war
on tobacco smoking and persuaded
over a thousand men to forswear the
habit. They therefore had no further
use for their metal pipes, which were
melted down and east In the form of
a bell. The metal resembles bronze,
and the bell has a pleasant musical
ring. y

New Years Greeting.

At the opening of 1906 we wish to
extend our sincere thanks to our many
patrons for their kind and liberal pat
ronage in the past We have enjoyed a
very good business and very much
appreciate the same. We hope for a
continuance of the patronage of all our
old customers and by our careful and
courteous treatment of new customers
show that we merit their trade.
Starting with this year we have
evolved a new scheme which we think
will be of benefit both to our patrons
and TO ourselves. Credit business is
always unsatisfactory both to debtor
and creditor. We have decided to ELI
inmate this, and from now on all bust
ness will be cash. But our new feat
ure will be that we will offer u So, So

Whether we watch with the micro
scope a tiny crystal growing from a
drop of solution or contemplate with
the imagination the stages by which
the fiery lavas of past geological peri
DDS sank to rest and crystallized, said
Professor II. A. Miers in an adj
dress before the geological section of
the British association at Cape Town,
we view the same process. 1t Is the
transformation of liquid into crystal
not necessarily into a solid, for re-
search shows there Is no dividing line
between liquid and solid. A plastic
solid body may flow; a solid glass Is
only a Superseded liquid. The real
primary distinction is between crystal
line and noncrystalline material. There
are two great liquid reservoirs from
which materials have crystallized-the
sea with its dissolved salts and the sub
t~erranean baths of molten glass from
which the igrseous rocks have been de-
riyed-New York Globe.

A new CORPORATION
Formed Under the South
Dakota Laws.
A DAY COUNTY COMPANY
Composed of the Best Business
Men Organize to Transact
a Land Office Business.

We were informed this week that a
new company had been organized under
the laws of the State of South Dakota,
with headquarters in Webster, for the
transaction of a general real estate bus
mess. Upon inquiry we found that the
incorporators of the company were L..
G. Ochsenreiter, l.. G. Levoy, Manson
Rexford, Leopold Gross and William
Egeland. The name of the new COM
pany is the EgelBnd Land Company.
The main office will be in Webster and
there will be branches in st. Paul and
various other points. The business OF
the comaany will be that usually con-
Quoted by a live real estate Office.
l.. G.. Ochsenreiter has been the lead
ing agricultural implement dealer of
Webster since the time the city was
founded and by square dealing and up
to-date business principles now has the
largest and most lucrative business of
that kind in the county. He is at pres
ent inspector for the United States in
the department of justice, which he has
held for three years with fidelity and
and credit.
l.. q. Levoy came to Webster in her
beginning and engaged in the general
merchandise business with which he
has been identified ever since and has
at this time one of the largest and best
businesses of this kind in the northwest
which he has built up by sterling hon
esty, fair dealing and close attention to
the same. Probably no man in this
state has a wider acquaintance and a
better reputation than L. g. Levoy.
Manson Rexford has been a respected
citizen of Waubay ever since it was,
and has always beer looked upon as one
of the leading men of the county. He
has been engaged in the banking and
real estate business and has an eyiable
reputation as a hustler in those lines.
He has the confidence of all Day county
people as is evidence by the fact that he
has held many positions of trust and is
at present serving them as county aud
itor.
Leopold Gross is another of the pio-
neer businessmen of Webster. Coming
here in the early eighties, he engaged
the general merchandise business with
L. G.. Levoy. Afterwards he was a
members.of the firm of Kramer & Com
pany. For the past five years he has
conducted a general real estate business
in this city and is known as one of our
is asYgood as his bond.
William Egeland has grown to man
hood in Day county and has always
been a hustling young gentleman. He
was elected county auditor five years
ago and reelected three years ago, serv-
ing W terms-the limit allowed by
law. Since his term of Office expired
he haslbeen engaged in the real estate
business in st. Paul and has been very
successful. He has keen business judg-
ment and is a hustler.
Ihere mas not Deen a corporation
organized in South Dakota that is SO
well known.in Webster and has more
friends to wish it success.
The Reporter and Farmer has known
all of these gentlemen for 10 these
many years and can vouch for their
reliability and hopes for the company a
large and lucrative business.
