While Glenham received many OF

SALADS IN SUMMER

Economical as Well as Heaithful,
Since They Are a Means OF

Left-Overs.

Dame Nature is really wonderful

". She makes us instinctively long
for cool, light foods and juicy fruits
and vegetables when the weather is
hot and humid and as strongly to dis
like the thick soups, steaming meats
and rich puddings that in winter gave
us SO much satisfaction.
There are not many prettier or
pleasanter dishes in warm weather
than salads, whether served in salad
bowl or in individual portions. For
the benefit of the thrifty housewife it
may be added that few things are
more economical, as they utilize
daintily all sorts of scraps. that in hot
weather especially sour quickly, and
are thus wasted. AS matter of fact.
there is scarcely anything in the way
of left-overs that cannot, by the exer-
else of little ingenuity, be turned
into an appetizing salad.
There is one thing that must be
good if our salad is to be appreciated.

is, Of course, lettuce with vinegar. oil

Money in Atomic orchards-

Tasmania has long been known as
the apple land of the south. but few at
home have any real idea OF the money
that can be made, and is being made,
out of apple growing in that island.
Last year, for instance, there were
many small orchards in the south
which returned as much as 1,200 bush
els to the acre, and one owner OF four
acres, who picked over 1000 bushels
OF marketable fruit, which he sold at
four shillings bushei. reaped a gross
return of $500. AS his expenses at
he outside would not >be more than
e1Oe, his profit an acre worked out
at something like e175. OF course,
this was an extreme case. but or

bridge, received most of the Evarts
people. When everybody had left, the
railroad tore down it's depot, great
gangs of men jerked the tracks from
their cedar ties and the short line
from Aberdeen was a thing of the
past.
Across the barren plains between
Aberdeen and Evarts millions upon
millions of cattle of every description
had been carted in great long freight
cars to be eventually disposed of in
Chicago, Milwaukee, st. Louis, New
York, Buffalo and in fact all of the
big eastern marts of trade. On August
1, 1908, came the official ending of the
town. All its books were closed on
that date; it's employees were officially
dismissed then and their salaries to
that time were paid them, although
most of the public officials and their
families had left Evarts several weeks,
some of them months before.
The casual observer, perhaps in a
launch may go up to the landing at
the center of the town and there tie
his craft for tour of inspection, but
his efforts to unearth the mysterious
about what was once Evarts will be
fruitless, for everything of any value
whatsoever has been carried away
and scarcely stick of wood was left
by the economical natives, who now
call themselves citizens of other
South Dakota villages.
Scores of towns have suffered the
same experience which befell Eyarts,
but the latter's passage to oblivion
was perhaps more sudden, more spec
tacular and more regretted than any
which have got into the public prints
in decade or more.

in the north-central part of South Da-
kota, was no exception to the rule in
it's early life, but to-day if you should
happen to paddle up the Missouri past
where the waters of the Moreau enter,
the FIRST thought that would enter
your mind when you struck the former
site Of Evarts, would be that cyclone
had wiped out the place.
However, such is not the case.
EFarts is now only a western plain
and this by its own volition. Only a
few weeks ago Evarts was the big
gest cattle-shipping center of the
United States. To-day there is no
Hvarts. There is not even a railroad
track; the big shipping depot has
been torn down, here and there a
splinter left when the buildings were
taken away, tells the tale of a once
fiouFaShing city.
And the whole reason for the people
Of Evarts getting out of their chosen
town was because the railroad wanted
to find a suitable spot on the Missouri
river to build q bridge. The railway
officials were extending their line to
the coast and the worst obstacle in the
path of the gigantic enterprise was
to find place to hang the bridge.
Eventually the engineers settled upon
a site several miles north of Evarts
and at that point fourishing town.
kRswn as Mobridge sprang up Evarts
people were offered any site for their
town that they might select along the
extension.
Then the exodus began Husky cat
tlemen hitched horses and oxen to
their houses and barns, some tore the
edflces down. and they were hauled
across the prairie, much like the
