Hayne, living on the Leslie Brown
farm four miles and a half east of Els

Henry Coulson and his three
boys, from neal Lake Preston, intend
to depart Saturday of this week for
Santa Cruz, California. We do not
know it for a fact, but take it for
granted that they expect to make that
section their permanent home. If
this is true, it will cause deep regret
among many for the Coulsons were
among the early settlers, and have
always been counted among our best
and most enterprising citizens.
james Moody experienced a mar
row escape from death Tuesday. He
was at work in the engine room of
the Robinson Co. elevator and near
the main drive shaft when the sleeve
of his sweater was caught by a key in
the shaft. James was wound up
pretty tight, but the belt happened
to be lose and the slipping of the belt
on the pully saved him from certain
death, He was quite sore after the
accident but no rious injuries re-
suited.
Among the scenes depicted in
The Holy City," Clarence Benefits
Biblical drama, which is to be shown
at the opera house, Nov. 9th, are the
terrace of King Herod's palace, the
roof of the palace with Il view of the
housetops of Jerusalem, the shores OF
the sea of Galilee, the adjoining halls
Of Caiapeas and Pontius Plate on the
morning of Christ's arraignment, the
gates of Jerusalem and the house of
Nicodemus. The play is deliberately
mounted and there is an illusiveness
about all of these scenes hal has
never been surpassed.
Leland Griffin attended the But
termakers and Dairymen's Associa-
ton at Sioux Falls last week. There
were forty samples of butter in the
exhibit. The meeting was attended
by about seventy buttermakers and
about thirty farmers. Mr.. Griffin
says it was the largest exhibit and
the largest attendance in years, and
that more interest was shown than
ever before. The wise farmer is the
n who is nov preparing to engage
in dairying on a large scale. Prices
that have prevailed for all kinds of
grain the past few years cannot al
ways prevail. Even now it can be
see that the prices ar working low
er. A good crop Of corn and oats in
1909 will put feed prices back on a
normal basi. and then it will pay to
pail the COW. 1t is our predic ion
that it will not be many years before
there will be as many or more cream
cries in operation as there we're when
dairying was at its best in this state.
