Quite nice weather tneSe DAYS n
great deal of hay stacks to go

Quite a gathering at Lake Henry
last Sunday, people coming there
from all directions with their lunch
baskets filled to the brim, and also
ENJOYING themselves to the utmost.
Last Sunday occurred quite an old

and Mrs. S. Amble. Among the guests
were Mr.. and Mrs. Iyer Amundson,
of Rice Lake, Wis.,, Mr.. and Mrs. j.
johnson, and Mr.. and Mrs. Nels
Kopperud, of Lake Preston. 1t is a
pleasure for so many old timers to
get to gether and talk of the early
DAYS. All of these families know
every detail of the pioneer life OF
K~ingsbury county, and have also seen
the advancement that time has
brought.
Mi. and Mrs. F. G. Foresburg and
daughter, Ada, are visiting relatives
in these parts.

seen around these parts. Must be

Several loads of hogs were e e on
their way to the DE Smet market on
Monday. People carrying such freight
these warm days had better hurry.
Roy Cary has returned from Grants
burg, Wis, to where he moved with
his folks in March. His sister, Mrs
Matt Kane also returned from that
place after a weeks visit with her
mother.
Miss Annie O'Hora left for Parker,

her summer vacation at her home in

Weather conditions are favorable
for growth of corn and harvesting such
small grain as is ready.
Mr.. and Mrs. M "A Scott, Of Mar.
shall. Oklahoma, are visiting at the
Norman home. Mr.. S. is a brother of
Mn Norman, and their aged mother
Is quite feeble which fact probably
accounts in part for the visit at this
particular time.

Miss Celia Cady and a sister, of
Elgin, Mimi, are visiting at the Chas.
S. Whiting home and with other De
Smet friends. Miss Celia has visited
here before.
An inch and IA quarter was the
amount of rainfall Wednesday even
ing. The rain was accompanied by
considerable wind and did some dam.
age to heavy grain still standing.
p. j. Mausback secured buyers
for the f. n. Dow farm and IA quarter
section near Manchester last week.
The first was bought by Mr.. Nichols,
of Centerville, and latter by John
Vogeli.
s The oat crop on the George
Moody place in the north part of
town was threshed this week, result
ing in a yield of 80 bushels to the
acre by machine measure. The oats
are very heavy and will weigh out
better than so bushels.
Miss Mona Hall, of Ft. Collins,
Cal, is visiting with h~r aunt, Mrs.
d. w. Wilmarth. Miss Mona is a
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. James

early day and well known to the early

w. H.. Kruse, a sheriff from Iowa,
arrived Wednesday evening to take
in charge one Schiller Burt, who was
wanted in Iowa on charge of seduction.
Burt was gathered in by Sheriff
Peterman the first of the week about
ten miles south of Lake Preston.
Fl. 2. Hardy, the present county
commissioner from this district, is a
candidate for the nomination and re-
election to hat office. As Mr.. Hardy
has held the office for only II term
and made a good official, it is very
likely that there will be no opposition
to his candidacy.
The cool weather of a few days
ago delayed the ripening of the grain
to some extent and as a result there
is not so much of the crop in the
shock as was anticipated there would
be at this time. This is unfortunate
as every day brings a chance of dam
age from wind and rain lodging the
grain.

ASKS FOR an INVESTIGATION
RESOLUTION IN HOUSE REFER
RING TO RECENT EXPULSION Z
FROM WHITE HOUSE.

washington, Jan. 9-Representativa
Shepherd of Texas has introduced a
resolution providing for the appoint
ment of a committee of Republican,
and Democratic members of the house
to investigate the recent violent ex-
pulsion of an American mother from
the White House offices and grounds
by executive officials and employees
while she was seeking an audience
with the president of the United
States.''
The resolution was referred to the
committee on rules.
Mr. Shepherd made the following
statement concerning the resolution:
81 introduce this resolution in the
name of American motherhood and
American womanhood. The occur
renee which is the cause of this reso-
luton was a violation of every senti-
ment that glorifies American manhood
and American chivalry. The brutal
treatment of this lady, who was but
acting within her rights, seems to me
to be outrageous and indefensible.
The American congress ought not to
permit the matter to rest without a
thorough and searching investigation.
1t involves the most sacred element of
American life, the respect and rever-
ence which every true American citi-
zen accords the American woman and
-sz11
When the president of the United
States, with all the glamor Of his
great Office, steps into the presence
of an American mother he is in the
presence of his superior. This action
Of his subordinates should certainly be
Investigated.

this belief the lesser will his disappointment he
ANY man able to express himself clearly and
possessing the power to think, becomes elouuen,
when he knows his subject thoroughly and bA
lieves in 1t with all his soul. One of the best
speeches ever heard on the floor of the Florida
Senate, and may say one of the most eloquent
speeches ever delivered In that historic chamber
which has been the scene of so much eloquence,
was that delivered by Capt. Mckay, who was then
Senator from Hillsborough, on the bill affecting
the pilots Capt. Mckay knew his subject thor.
oughly He was raised up with 1t; he believed in
1t; he was enthusiastic about 1t; and when he got
his feet he was able to deliver himself so clear
ly, so fOrcibly and convincingly that he by the
combination Of these three, became eloquent. Gov
ernor Broward Is thoroughly posted on Everglades
drainage He has studied the question from every
viewpoint. He has been on the ground; he has
had access to all of the facts pertaining to the
subject which have been gathered since Florida
was State. He has poured over volumes of re.
ports In the United States departments he has
correspondent with or met personally persons who
are familiar with the subject; he has spent many
days In going over the records in the Statehouse;
he knows everything that's been done or thought
about on this question for the last sixty years lie
believes in 1t thoroughly, he is enthusiastic aboIt
1t and he has demonstrated that he has the capac'
ity to express himself so that people can under
stand him. / do not like to make prediction of
this kind for fear that some people might think
that the wish was father of the thought, there.
fore will not say that Gov. Broward will eat
John Beard up, but I think it all the same.

New Plan is Decided Improvement.

The new plans for the State Fair will add
new interest to the contest between the counties.
The diversified industries Of the State makes it
practically impossible to give all sections Of the
State an equal chance in competing for prizes on
the plan that was adopted last year. Considers.
Die dissatisfaction was caused by the method OF
distributing the prizes and some Of the counties
expressed their dissatisfaction in strong terms.
The new plan Is to divide the state into differ
ent sections the division to be made geographic
cally as follows: West Florida, Middle Florida,
East Florida and South Florida. This division Is
good one and divides the state according to the
products that will be displayed at the fair.
Any dissatisfaction that may have resulted last
year from the awarding Of prizes win be elimina'
ted with the operating of this plan.
There was more or less cause for complaint ct
the awarding OF the prizes last year, although,
with the system used, the prizes were properly
awarded. Some of the counties were placed at
distinct disadvantage and 1t was practically i'm
possible for them to compete with the counties In
the Southern portion of the State.
West Florida has fertile countess with varied
resources, and should take advantage of the new
plan and enter an exhibit. Many of the counties
are cottongrowing and can make display that
Will be creditable to them and to the State.
