State Superintendent Ustrud has
notified County Superintendent Law
renee that Prof. Kern Of Rockford,
Ills, will be in Canton on Monday
March 18th, to give an illustrated
lecture on country schools. Prof.
Kern will be accompanied by State
Superintendent Ustrud and Prof.
Orlander of Brookings. County Sup
intendent Lawrence is making ar
rangements for this interesting event
of which farther notice will be given.
1t is astonishing how mahy people
go into the county t~reasurer's office
to pay taxes and have actually for
gotten a description Of their property.
1t will save the taxpayer a very en-
barrassing situation if he will look
this matter up before he says: II
want to pay my taxes" Whats the
descriptions" Don't just remember"
and then the tax payer smiles at the
simplicity of the situation. The treas
urer is hardly able to remember just
where all a tax payers property is To-
Gated and when a millionaire don't re-
member how many lots he owns-in
block 900 or how many quarters he
owns in Canton or Lynn township, the
is forcedto put on his think
ing cap and clear up the mystery.
There's lots of people today, right In
Canton who can't tell the number OF
the block they live in or in what add
dition. It's astonishing how we neg
lect things right at home.
j. G. Cornelius began loading a car
with hogs last Saturday. He has 100
fine red Durocs that will run about
$50 pounds. He sent out one car and
will probably I'LL another car this
week. Mr.. Cornelius is one of the
pushing farmers, a man who takes
nothing for granted. He goes after
results in a modern business way and
he succeeds. His hogs seldom get
sick because he seem to know how
to keep them free from disease. He
is a successful farmer and works care
fully and energetically to that end.
He remarked Saturday while we were
looking at a load Of the Durocs that
some Of his friends down in Eastern
Iowa didn't believe we eould raise
such hogs in South Dakota. Lincoln
county can raise better hogs and bet
ter corn than any county in Eastern
Iowa, and we believe Mr.. Cornelius
will back this statement with a smile
Of approval.
