Fertile Section of the State.
Codington county lies in the eastern
portion of the state, and is in the
midst of very fertile section. The
land is quite the equal of land in the
older parts of Minnesota, and the
crops are sure and bountiful. Most OF
it is now under cultivation and there
is practically no raw land to be pur'
chased, but improved land can be OBJ
tanned at surprisingly reasonable
rates. The prices range from $40 to
s55 per acre, according to the location.
and the character of the improvements
which have been made upon them.
The acreage devoted to corn is in
creasing every year, for the farmers
have met with the most fiattering sue
cess in raising this great staple, the
yield in many cases being phenome
nally large.
The dairying interests in Cooling.
ton county are very large, and almost
every town possesses a creamery, and
some have several. There are many
fine. herds Of registered cattle, which
bring their owners the highest prices
when they are placed on the market,
The raising of hogs has grown to be
one of the most important industries
in the county, and almost every farm
er devotes a part of his attention to the
fattening of his "porkers," realizing q
tidy income from them as they are
ready for market.
No one can travel through Coding-
ton county without being deeply I'M
pressed with the general appearance
of prosperity. Everywhere you find
comfortable farm houses, large barns,
and acres of productive soil. The small
villages and towns present the same
prosperous appearance, and in water
town there is the busy, energetic lie
of a growing, enterprising western
city.
There are many fine opportunities
for the investment of capital there,
and with conditions as favorable as
they are at present there can be no
reasonable doubt of it's future mercah.

TRAIL ALLEGED RusTLER.
Horse-stealng, Grand Larceny and
Burglary Charged.

.rH
South Dakota and Iowa officers are
engaged in an exciting chase OTTER
Louis McMullen, who is wanted In
Turner county on the charge of horse
stealing, grand larceny and burglary.
Ed and Lemrick Moore, Turner coun.
ty farmers, who have brought the
charge, have offered reward Of $500
for the recovery Of the property. It
is alleged that McMullen broke open
a desk, secured $40 in cash which it
contained, then hitched a team to a
top buggy and departed. He was
traced to Mission HILL a little town
in the extreme southern part of the
state, where he doubtless intended
crossing the Missouri river to Ne
braska, but the ice was running in
the river, making it impossible for
him to cross, and it appears that he
then turned back upon his track and
headed toward the Iowa line.

Prepare for Market Wheat Left in
Stacks Last Fall.


Threshing machines in full opera
ton are sights which have been seen
last month in many parts of the agri-
cultural portion of South Dakota. Last
fall there was SO much rainy weather
and scarcity of threshing outfits and
men that hundreds of farmers were
unable to complete their threshing.
Many settings of grain stood in the
stack all winter, or until the pleasant
and spring weather in the last two
weeks. Those who had threshing to
do have taken advantage of favorable
weather, and during February thou
sands upon thousands of bushels of
grain have been pounded out by the
tnreshing machines. In most cases
the grain did not appear to be any
the worse for having been exposed to
the winter storms.

The publication of a letter from
State Insurance Commissioner w. Q.
Cole in yesterdays issue of the Daily
News, saying that the Junior Order
United American Mechanics, now or
ganizing in Hattiesburg was operat-
ing without license, created a local
sensation.
1t seems that the order has been
operating in Meridian, Ellisville, En-
terprise, Laurel and several other
towns for the past several years and
that it was fully authorized to trans
act an insurance business until few
weeks ago when its license expired.
Secretary w. D. Hawkins, of Me
ridian, went to Jackson yesterday and
had a conference with Commissioner
Cole. 1t is understood that he ar
ranged to take out the necessary pa
pers and it is probable that the order
will be in shape to go ahead with the
organization of the Hattiesburg lodge
early in the week.

which will be seen at the Auditorium

of Mr.. DeKoven, there is strongly
developed vein of comedy running
throughout the story. Almost at the
beginning of the first act appear
three conspirators. They are SO fun
my that they fairly divide honors
with both the music and singing. The
trio consists of a baron, a colonel
and Sunny Jim. To complicate mat
tiers, they appear in various DISCUSSES,
the baron as waiter, the colonel a
friar and Suny Jim nondescript
The baron is little ,Dutchman, who
mixes up his words; the colonel, a
heavyweight braggant. They have a
number of amusing situations, sew
eral comic trios and manage to oc
cupy the center of the stage much
of the time. Seat sale opens Friday

EXCELLENT GRAFTON BY w. A.
AARON IN HATTIEsBURG.
Splendid Speech Is Recalled by the
Tragic Death of the Orator in New
Orleans Friday Evening-lt Is Here

Aaron, noted in Saturdays Daily
News, recalls the splendid welcome
address delivered by him in this city
to the Grand Lodge 1. o. o. F. May
20 last, during it's session in this city.
The Daily News reproduces the
speech, which will be read with in
terest by the public generally and
Odd Fellows in particular:
Robert Emmit, after he was tried
and convicted of treason in the city of
Dublin in 1903, Judge Norbury, be-
ing the sentence of death upon him,
asked Emmit the question, What
have you to say why the sentence
of death should not be pronounced
upon you" to which Emmit replied,
Why do you insult me-or rather,
justice-by asking me such ques-
ton, but custom prescribes that you
ask me the question.
| So it is, my friends, that custom
prescribes that this welcome address
should be delivered on this occasion
to this distinguished body of repre-
sentative Odd Fellows.

Along the line of meritorious con-

none occupies a higher plane than
the proposition to pension superan-

was adopted by the recent convention

terrain such distinguished guests as
you are than it is to you to be enter
tanned by us.
I'VE do not, my distinguished
brothers, invite and welcome you to
a city around whose brow cluster
events of tradition. Hattiesburg is
not city of tradition, because of its
infancy. No mighty armies have
ever struggled within the confines of
it's limits for supremacy, where count
less and brave soldiers have laid
down their lives on the altar of he
roism, as has been true in some of
the other cities of the commonwealth
of Mississippi. No poet ever planted
his name on the pages of fame, or i'm
mortalized himself by blending poeti-
cal thought into the sweet dreams of
music, as has been true elsewhere
in this grand old state; nor has she
sent forth any great statesmen like
some of our sister cities in Missis-
sippi, who have made old Mississip'
pi famous as a priceless heritage be-
cause of her able sons.
"As | have told you before, Hat
tiesburg is the city of the pines.

every one who now hears me speak,
