An Old Swindle.

A barefaced swindle is being
attempted by some of the parties
who recently acquired options on
farms at S65 an acre in the sup
posed oil region near South

in fine print, was also an agree.
ment to advance money tor the
payment of advertising and 9TH
er expenses. Sometime after
the original document is signed
there appears at the farmers
home another agent of the real
estate spectators, who makes
demand for the advance money
1t looks very much like a pure
swindle, and Mr.. Farmer will
do we'll to hang on to his gelt.

Easter at Christ Church

The eastertide was ushered in
on the Octave Of Easter IN Christ
Episcopal church. The church
was beautifully decorated with
flowers. Easter lilies adorned
the altar, and narcissus and pot
ted lilies and other plants were
used in decorating outside the
chancel The day began with
the celebration of the holy com
munion, and in spite of the in
clemency of the weather a large
congregation of communicates
was 10 attendance Beginning
with this service the choir ap-
peared robed in their new vest
ments, the gift of a devoted and
interested member of the parish
who has ever the welfare Of the
parish at heart. They also used
their new hymnals for the first,
a gift of another friend mem Der,
who tho absent is still with US in
spirit. At 10:45 a. N. the church
was filled to overiowing. The
services all three br eathed of the
res direction, everyone pres
ent beng attuned to the Easter
pitch. The choir rendered the
musical portion of the service in
a manner we'll calculated to elicit
admiration and praise, as also
did the organist. The rector S
sermon was scholarly, yet easily
understan dable, treating Of the
subject of the resurrection and
showing plainly that Christmust
have risen. or else as St Paul
puts it "We are of all men most
miserable" The day closed
with the ) p. ~. service. the
same spirit pervading this as
the other services. Taking all
in all, it will be a day long re
mem bered by the members ofthe
parish. The good congrega-
tions, the sermons. the flowers
and the generous offering for the
rectory fund all attesting the
harmony and unitedness of the
parish.

Slow Progress in the Oil Fie Ids.

South Shore Republican.
Slow progress has been made
on the oil we'll this week. The
drill was stopped long enough tc
put down a 60 #. we'll, for the
purpose Of obtaining sufficient
water for use in the drilling out.
fit boiler. The drill was then
put to work in the oil well and a
depth of nearly five hundred feet
has been reached. A sufficient
depth has been reached to show
that the earth's formation as
gwen by the government is far
from correct. 1t was expected
that formations other than clay
would be discovered before this
depth was reached, but such is
not the case. Properly speaking
nothing but "mud" has been en-.
countered and has made drilling
very difficult and slow. The
formations thus far encountered,
however, seem to please the oil
men aud while they are not say.
ing much they appear to be more
hopeful than ever that they will
strike oil.

GROWING HOME INDUSTRY

City Bakery and Ice Cream Parlors .
Credit to the City--Specialize an
Work for Home Industry.
Few of the many people wbs
buy bread, (the kind that is ad.
vertising Milbank) or ice cream
or candy; realize the amount of
work that is done in the City
Bakery building each day.
Six or more people are kept
busy all the time. In the bakery
department, under the charge Of
Jacob Schad, two men are
busy early and late, baking
from 600 to 1000 loaves of
bread a day, besides the many
kinds of pastry. 1t reqires bet
ter than two barrels of flour each
day, and will average close to q
thousand barrels in a year-all
Milbank flour. too. Mr.. o. O.
Briggs the proprietor, believes
IN specializing, doing one thing
we'll rather than mixing in a lot
of various lines-not making
anything yourself and hlndering
others. Specialize and patronize
home industry is the proper way
to build up the town Is his way of
doing.
The home made candy depart
ment at this store has steadily
gained favor with Milbank peo-
pie, but it remained for Mr.,
Briggs to gain the good will of
the public. That was when he
Installed, last summer, one of
the very largest and swellest So
da fountains between the cities
and Aberdeen, if not the best.
All the very latest and incest of
soft drinks, including the popu-
lar ice cream drinks were put in.
To do this necessitated the Civ
ing up the serving of meals and
lunches, which was done. The
interior of the store was nicely
decorated. The fountain takes
up the entire end of the store
with the exception of the doors
tables, chairs and screens oc-
cupy the space formerly used as
a dining room. The ice cream
business grew and Mr.. Briggs
is at present installing new
high speed gasoline engine for
operating the freezers and other
machinery, as well as the sever
al fans which will beplaced in the
cream parlors and store. He is
also contemplating the instala-
ton of a dynamo with which to
light up his soda fountain and
the entire building. He remark
ed he had beeu waiting in hopes
that large general pant would
be installed in the city, as each
individual plant made the chanc-
es of a com mercial plant just so
much less. But the spirit of
push and progress is too strong
to resist and the electric lights
are next. I'VE want to max e
the place worthy of your notice
and your patronage, said Mr..
Briggs-"We are not fast or
furious, but we just keep a com
ing
It should be added that Mr..
Briggs ships a large amount of
bakery goods and ice cream to
the nearby towns and also caters
to parties, banquets and socia-
bles.
To the tired housewife the
City Bakery is the real thing.
Mr. Briggs is the right man
for the place and is making the
business a credit to himself and
the city.
