Nothing will be too good for Score
tary Taft when he visits South Dakots
next month as the guest of Senator
Kittredge. The big secretary will
spend a week in the state and after tina,
if he wants the delegation from South
Dakota, he can get it. We rather like
big men out this way.
The citizens of Hurley are setting a
good example to the larger towns in
the state. They will invest 81 900 in a
monument which will be erected in
the town park, and which will be thirty
five feet high. They are not many
towns in South Dakota which are
spending any money for purposes of
identifying, and the good ex-mple OF
Hurley might well be initiated.
Good progress is being made in the
work of preparing the program for the
annual picnic and outing of the Old
Settlers association of Minnehaha
county. which will be held on June 20,
at Thompson's Grove neal Baltic, about
IL miles north of Sioux Falls. The
principal speaker on that occasion viii
be Governor Coe /. Crawford, who has
accepted an invitation to be present.
Sufficient poles and other material
for the construction of about twenty
miles of line have been received by the
recently organized Pukwana Telephone
and Electric company, which will con-
struct telephone lines in different direc-

Careless handling of a reviewer by
children who did not appreciate the
danger, caused the death of little Maud
Nettelhorst, only three years of age.
The accident occurred at the home
ranch, west of Spearfish. The twin
daughter of the family. Maud and her
sister were playing near the house with
some neighbours children who had in
their possession an old revolver. The
weapon was accidently discharged, the
ball entering the right side of Maud's

Suffering a stroke of paralysis while
on a lonely road, and lying for hours

attention, and in addition being
attac ked by pneumonia as the result of
his exposure, was the experience Of

was not able to survive the double

has resided in Hutchinson county, to
which he removed to Turner county.

quent reference to him as the corpora
ton attorney. 1t is easy to forget that
Crawford was a corporation attorney,
because he resigned his position with
the Northwestern to run for governor.
But look farther. Crawford's alliance
with Gamble and Jim Elliott was
strong enough for him to give a slap to
every republican in the state who did
not want to see South Dakota misrep-
resented by the reelection OF Gamble.
What of it? The man who aided more
than any one else in Crawford's frantic
effort to send Gamble back to Wash

attorney for the Milwaukee IN South

"American people delight to be hum

forces against the corporation evils

Best Method for Roasting Turkey

Ninety-nine women out Of every
n hundred will bake a turkey with
the back to the pan, and this is a mis-
take. There seems to be a demand
for well-browned turkey breast. But
in browning the breast they sacri-
flee the sweetness of this part of
the fowl. The best way to epa
a turkey is to bake it with the breast
down. The breast is turned to the
bottom OF the pan, and instead of
being dry and t~asteless when served.
is richly favored, and as sweet and
juicy as one would care to have it.
You see, all the fine flavoring of the
all the daintier touches flow down to-
ward the breast Of the fowl, and
when the white meat is served you
get the full benefit Of every flavor
added during the process Of prepar-
ing and baking the turkey, in addi-
ton to the distinctive taste of the
fowl itself.

things moving along IN good shape.
The second part opened with a
pretty little stunt by a dozen or
fifteen little misses who sang the
"Boeie-Ogie Man, and they went

nicely. Nine lads performed a
