:. County Secretary McKa;g, of the
Y. NJ. G. A., was down from De Smet
last Tuesday. While here he inter
viewed quite a number of citizens up
on the plan of organizing a Mems Six
O'clock Club. The idea, as we IN
derstand the matter, is for the club
to have weekly meetings during the
winter. Supper at 6 o'clock promptly
served alternately by the ladies aid
society of each of the four churches
followed by a half hour program with
such discussions as would be of inter-
est to the men gathered. The plan
could result in much good to the
community, in promoting the common
interests of u people and linking
together in stronger friendships. Aside
from the ladies engaged in serving
the meal, none but the members and
their gentlemen friends are supposed
to be admitted. As the next thing TO
a commercial club and business mems
organization, let's at least give the
idea a trial.-Times.
Mr.. McKaig is also attempting the
Organization Of a like institution IN
De Smet to begin operation right af-
ter the holidays.
Roy Murdick returned Wednes-
day night of last week from his trip
to the Pacific coast country. Say she
likes the appearance of that country,
and especially around Brooks, Oregon,
where he decided to locate. He has
arranged to purchase twenty-five acres
of land adjoining the A. NJ. Aspin
wall estate and expects to move to
that place either in the spring or
summer The A~spinwall place seems
to be n of the noted fruit farms of
that country. 1t was Mr.. Aspinwall
who first made the loganberry a pay
ing crop. They now have a contract
for plants for shipment east which
will amount to 100000. Besides
the fresh berries sold this season, a
ton of the dried fruit, at 20 cents per
pound TO. b. Brooks, was shipped
east. half of the consignment going
to Sioux Falls. Another old time
Kingsbury county man in that local
ity is George Shaw, who has a farm
of over 100 acres joining the town.
Mr.. Shaw is engaged in general
farming and seems to be doing well
