The first load of new wheat to be
marketed in Webster this season came
in from the Waddle place northeast of
town. 1t was velvet chaff, weighed Ga
pounds and was large and plump, clean
and bright. Frank Wendt bought it
for the Farmer Exchange Elevator. 1t
graded No. l and brought 81 cents per
bushel.
During the past two weeks the orches-
ira music at the Ruby Theatre has been
exceptionally good, many of the pieces
beng selections from grand operas
and played in manner that delighted
all lovers of good music. There are
not many cities in the northwest that
can furnish such musical treat as the
Ruby Theatre furnishes its patrons
every evening.
Little Louise Denton, who is visiting
at her grandparents, had her eyes quite
badly hurt last evening by getting into
some of the mixture that was used to
spray trees. No serious injury was
received, but the burns were very pain
fnl for time and Miss Louise had to
go with eyes bandaged as a result

At meeting of the village board last
evening contract was entered into
with the William Magnus Co. to put
down four hundred foot, three and a
half inch we'll to supply the water for
the proposed water works system. They
expect to be on the ground to start
work Saturday. The we'll will be put
down on the lots recently purchased by
the village. Bradley Globe.
The postofice department has
amended rural route No. l to omit that
portion of the route in Day county
where bridges have been out all sum-
mer. One of the bridges was replaced
a few weeks ago, but not until it was
too late. Uncle Sam insists on good
roads or no mail service, and the sooner
rural route patrons wake up to the sit-
uation the better for them. -Langford

The Webster Reporter and Farmer
says that the new north and south road
from Fargo to WATERFOWL, a distance
of 200 miles will be built at once; Gin
fact, will be completed in time to move
this seasons crop" Whereas, this sea-
sons crop has already begun to move,
and whereas not spadeful of dirt has
been moved on the grade of the pro-
posed road, therefore, be it resolved
that the Webster newspaper is greatly
misinformed. Sioux Falls Argus
Leader.
The senior member of the Reporter
and Farmer is indebted to c. A. Wells
for trip in his auto to Bradley and
back Saturday. The crops are much
better in that section than we expected
to see, but the harvest had not pre-
crossed as much as we expected. The
general impression seems to be that
the crop is much better than was
reported before the harvest commenced.

this afternoon in the doctors automo-

This they had repaired at the Day
County Auto and Supply company's

the Hub City in good shape. We ack-
nowledge pleasant call during their
short stop in Webster.
