Novel Entertainment

"A trip around the world" was
the basic idea of a very pleasant and
successful party given by the Young
Peoples Societies Of the Presby-
terrain, Methodist and Christian
churches Friday evening. Invita-
tons were issued to a large number
of young people of the city, and
they were requested to meet at
New York, the Presbyterian church
at 7:15 to take the boat. New York
was decorated. in a representative
manner with the harbor, the Flat
iron building, the slums, etc, and
light refreshments served before
leaving in the bob"
Ireland was the next stopping
place, at Clint Crabtree's residence.
Here the Shamrock held full sway,
with the pig in the parlor," the
chicken coop. and potatoes served
any way and every way. "Auch ter
lieber Augustine" the realm of the
Kaiser, was at the Carroll home, and
here the merry-makers were enter
tanned with music while they dined
on brick cheese.
Africa and Teddy were at the
Methodist church, with the native
huts. the jungle and the palms.
Here the guests were refreshed
with bananas picked from the ma
tive trees. after which they were
again sent on their way for the far
East and Japan. This, the land of
romance and flowers, was represent
ed at the F. d. Greene residence,
which was beautifully decorated for
the occasion. Here they listened to
vocal music again, while slpping
their tea in true Japanese style.
The wonderful journey ended up at
San Francisco at the Christian church
where Uncle Sam welcomed tho
wanderers home and again CAV
them something to satisfy the Inner
man."
The entertainment was beautiful
~ planned. to the smallest detail,
apd reflected much credit on the
ORIG inatOrs.

STOCK INDUSTRY
IN HAND COUNTY
j. II. BevingtOn Wins NOtOriety
With BIOOded Live Stock

1t is not perhaps generally known
but it is a fact. that there is a very
important cattle breeding industry
in Hand county which bids fair to
become widely known. Mr. j. II.
Bevington, on the Halloween and
Waite farm II miles south of Rec
Heights, has the only herd of Polled
Herefords in the state of South
Dakota.
The S~horthorns. Angus and other
breeds of cattle have been bred
with the view Of doing away with
horns for many wears and very Sue
cessfulIy, but until recent years no
effort has been made along these
lines with the Herefords.
AS the Herefords are in especially
good favor among stockmen much
interest has been taken in the efforts
to ecure a breed Of this kind of
cattle without horns.
Mr. Bevington has been very care
tuI in selecting his herd and is
receiving many inquiries from out
side stockmen in regard to them.
He recently took three of his bulls
to the 30. Oak. Improved Live
Stock and Poultry Breeders Asso-
citation sale held at Brookings and
they met a ready sale, one bull
bringing $3.50 and two last June
calves selling for $l65. They were
bought by an eastern breeder who
at once added 100 per cent to his
asking price. This sale was attend
ed by the prominent stock breeders
of several states and much interest
vas taken in the animals shown
from Hand county.
Mr. Bevington also sold 3 last
spring Duroc. Jersey gifts at this
same sale for $95.
The demand for the Polled Here
fords promises to greatly exceed the
supply for q long time and having
the only establishment of the kind in
South Dakota will probably mean
much to Mr. lexington, as well as
the community in which he is located
and Hand county will undoubtedly
be brought into prominence as an
important centre of this industry.

MILLER HOSPITAL
NEW ENTERPRISE
Physicians and Business Men
Agitate New Project
Proposition To Organize Stock
Company To Operate 1t

The latest enterprise that has
been started for the city of Miller
is a hospital. and it is meeting with
hearty approval on every side.
The nearest Institution of that kind
is at Pierre, and now is the psyche
logical time for Miller to step in
and establish n large enough to
accommodate this and neighboring
counties. The physicians of the
city have had the idea in their mirds
for several years, but until the pre-
sent time there was no organization
to push it.
The project as yet is only in the
germ, but it is the plan to present
it to the Commercial Club at their
next meeting, and push it as rapidly
as possible. The proposition which
the doctors have in mind is to form
a stock company of business men to
own and operate the institution, and
to make it entirely open to every
one. Lots could readily be secured
in some good location and a building
purchased or erected for the pur-
pose. In fact one offer has already
been made by G. l.. Ostrander, of a
lot 100 X l40 feet, back of his resi-
dence, for which he would take
stock in the company. But these
are only suggestions, and no def
mite plans will be made until it is
presented to the Commercial Club.
The project will also be presented
to the Ladies' Civic League, as their
cooperation will be very valuable
1t has been suggested that it would
be a good plan to interest all the
churches, lodges and societies of
different kinds. and ask them to
furnish a room apiece.
Miller has ample territory to draw
from to make this a successful insti-
tuition, and 1t will prove a great
benefit to the city, a. we'll as a con-
venience for the sick. With Miller's
progressive Commercial Club back
Of it, it will surely be a certainty
this spring.
