carried on TO quite a large extent
without interfering with the other
work of the farm. By several
farmers cooperating the trips to
town need not be made oftener
than once a week by any one, and
a boy who can drive a team can
make the trip as well as an able
bodied man. So the business has
many things to recommend it as
we'll as some things that are not SO
easy. and it may mean living
when other things fail. Now this

success and if you are interested
make it known by coming and
subscribing to the stock and talk

reads this and other notices of the
creamery project will take hold
and push it along if you think it a
good thing.

The Cottonwood Celebration

Last Saturday a number of peo-
pie from Philip went to Cotton
wood to help that thriving little
city celebrate its first anniversary.
The heavy rain early that morn
ing made the roads so muddy that
many people who had intended to
drive from here were forced to
change their plans. The ball team
and little band of faithful follow
ers went over on the freight at
noon, and others took the after
noon passenger. The fact. how
ever, that there was no returning
train until Sunday night kept a
lot Of our people at home.
Those who attended report a
good time and good sized crowd.
The program was carried out in
the main as advertised, and the
crowd seemed pleased with the en-
tertainment given them. The
Indians were big drawing card.
The races were as exciting and as
hotly contested as the onlookers
could wish.
In a word, Cottonwood did her
self proud. Handicapped as she
was by the bad weather for several
days prior to the date selected, a
great showing was made, and the
town has a right to be proud of
the celebration.
The writer was unable to be
present, but was called to Cotton
wood the following Monday on
business, and heard much about
the success of the affair. Say, do
you know, our neighborirg burg
is getting to be a hummer. A lot
of improvements have been made
since we were last over there. A
fine bank building has gone up,
sidewalks have been put in, and
every business house in the town
seems to have been making i'm
proyements. Even Chess Leedom.
who like many newspaper men
ordinarily wears . ramshackle air
of dissipation and decay, is fresh
as a daisy, and one can fairly hear
the hum of his wheels. All,
Cottonwood is on the move.

Exhibits at the Harvest Festival

The people in the vicinity of
Philip or for that matter all per-
sons in Stanley County should be
interested in Philips coming Har-
vest Festival which will be held at
Philip September 3, 4 and 5.
The committee on exhibits takes
this opportunity to inform all per-
sons interested in the festival and
more particularly in the exhibits
at the festival that the affair is q
sure thing, and that we expect to
give a number Of very nice prizes
to exhibitors.
After looking the situation over
carefully, it was the opinion of
the committee that it would not be
practical to offer cash prizes for
exhibits. No entry fee will be
charged, and it was the opinion of
the committee that the people of
Stanley County who had choice
grain or stock would bring it to
our festival which is festival for
them as we'll as for US, whereby
we all hope to promote the best
interests of Stanley county. How
ever, it is planned that ribbons
shall be given to prize winners,
blue ribbons for first premiums,
red ribbons for second premiums
and white ribbons for third
premiums. In addition to this, a
great number of special prizes will
be given by the business men of
Philip; for example, w. H. Will
kinson, the jeweler, offers to give
a gold medal to the person carry
ing off the most blue ribbons at
the festival. A number of other
special prizes will be enumerated
below.
1t is planned to make the list of
exhibits similar to that of last
year, except that, we expect to be
much larger, and to cover a much
wider field than before. In addi-
ton to the exhibits which were
displayed last year, the committee
are now making extensive arrange
ments for the. purpose of showing

Regents Visit Philip

The state board of regents were
here Tuesday looking over our
proposed location for the expert
ment farm. They came in on the
afternoon train. drove into the
country Immediately, remained
with us that night, and next morn
ing drove across country to
kadoka on their way to Presho,
which is also an applicant for the
farm.
1t may be said by way of ex-
pIanation that the last legislature
made provision for the establish
ment of an experiment farm in
Lyman or Stanley county. Several
weeks ago the business mems
association of Philip sent CON-
mittee to Brookings to lay before
the board of regents the claims of
this part of Stanley county. Our
committee was very cordially re-
,ceived, and as result of their ef-
forts the regents made the visit
mentioned above.
> The board desires to secure 4
location for the proposed farm
that will afford the best possible
opportunity for experiments in
dry farming The station and
farm will be of value not only to
the town where it is located, but
to all the new country west of the
river as we'll. Methods of soil
culture and moisture conservation
applicable to the conditions that
exist out here will be worked out,
and a contribution of no small
moment made to the general agri-
cultural advancement of the state.
At the present time the board
is visiting the towns that are max
ing an effort to secure the location
Of the farm, and is investigating
in general the claims presented.
The matter will be decided in
about ten days.
Tuesday evening after tho men,
bers of the board had returned
from drive through the country.
they were rendered a banquet at
the Northwestern Hotel by the
business mems association. The
affair passed off very pleasantly.
In the course of the remarks
that followed the very creditable
repast provided by the hotel
management. the visitors ex-
pressed general surprise At the
signs of advancement and pro-
gress they observed in this locali-
ty. More than that they are
pretty favorably impressed With
the town in general. 1t must be
added that the courtesy they have
extended our committee, and tho
patience with which they have
considered our application hae xoa
a. place in our hearts. In any
event we are glad the regents
came and we will be glAd to have
them come again. ~

 That was the last ride he ever took with her. The next afternoon when he came home he was told that she had gone, as usual, in the automobile When dinner was announced she had not returned He waited half an hour, then dined alone. His life was becom- ing intolerable. Despairing of re-es- tablishing his former relations, he wished that something would occur to break the connection. After dinner he lighted a cigar, but soon threw 1t away Noticing an evening paper on the first page there were headlines in large print announcing an automobile accident. Two persons, man and a woman, were killed.

He sat motionless, his face covered with his hands. A serv ant lighted the lights, but he did not hear. An hour passed, during which uo sound aroused him, till at last he heard an automobile stop before the house. Starting up, he hurried to the door. A chauffeur, one he had never seen, met him there.

 A lady driven up to her country resi- dence in an automobile alighted and hurried into the house. In the hail she was accosted by tall, intellectual looking man, but with something veal in his expression.
 "Why, dear. what has kept you? Dinner has been ready half an hour" "Well, well, must always be on the minute?" And instead of waiting for the usual kiss she hurried upstairs to lay aside her wraps.
 Something wrong again." he nut tered. "We who defy the social code must pay the penalty. But she has always recovered from these moments of remorse. Doubtless she will do so now."
 The recovery in this case did not come. Instead gloom settled over | the woman that he could not dispel, | though he made every effort. He tried | to win her from her melancholy by caresses. She repulsed him. He took her to the opera, to theaters, every where, anywhere, that he could place her in an atmosphere of excitement. She seemed for awhile to be lending herself willingly to the plan, but there was no change in her, and at last she declined to pursue it further. One thing alone she followed of her own choice. Every day an automobile wheeled to the door, and she entered il and sped away for a drive that was never short and often very long.
 He was comforted that what could not be produced by other amusements was effected by this. Doubtless the breakneck speed. with an element of danger in 1t. served to overcome re- morse. But he feared that one of the many accidents constantly occurring would happen to her.
 Sweetheart" he said one day after her return from ride. do you drive very fast?"
 "As fast as the machine can be driven"
 Are you not afraidT'
 I "No. Automobile accidents do no' maim; they give us oblivion" He sighed and started to take her 1T his arms, but she turned away.
 The next day when she went to ride he told her that he would go with her He wished to observe if the chauffeur was careful or reckless. She passively consented. He was satisfied with what he saw. There was no careless ness. no reckless speed, but she sa' beside him unmoved by. any word n' spoke to her and apparently uninter ested in her surroundings. She wal like a woman of stone. '
