lOWAN'S INVENTION
PROVES SUCCESSFUL
Problem Of Shocking Grain by Ma
chinsry Solved by Centervi'Ie Man
Tests Satisfactory.

Centerville.-An invention that sue
cessfully solves the problem of shock
ing grain by machinery has been test
ed and. found perfect in the field test
1t is the invention of c. r, Raney, son
of X. J. Raney, member of the county
board OF supervisors. A large CON-
pany went out to the farm to see it
work and were greatly pleased.
The machine is attached to the
binder, running on two small wheels,
and following directly behind where
the sheaves are thrown from the knot
ter. An arm receives the sheaf on
pointed spikes and carries it back in
a semi circle, placing it in the holder,
wheer the shock is formed, butts
back. When the holder is full it
dumps automatically, turning the
shock up on end and firmly placing
it on the ground. The shock is tied
about with a piece of binder Irvine be-
fore being dumped. 1t thus stands Sc
curely in all winds that may come,
and the heads being held firmly to-
gether, they do not bleach or take wa
ter in case of rain.
Farmers say that it will more than
pay for the Irvine required in the
grain saved from SCATTERING out by the
old method. Those who saw it work
are confident Mr.. Raney has practi-
cal invention which will soon be in
use on all binders. 1t weighs about
400 pounds and seems just the thing
to take off side draft and steadies the
binder.

ne day last week on a business mis-

sion.
Eldridge Killion came near meeting
with a fatal accident about ten days
ago while blowing corn for John Glib
son. In unhitching the team he un-
hooked but three traces, leaving one
fastened to the cultivator. This
frightened the team when they start
ed and he was knocked down and one
of the cultivator shovels cut deep
cash on the top of his head. He was
in a dazed condition for about two
hours. He was brought to town,
where physician attended him, sew
ing up the cash, seven stitches being
necessary. He is around town now
and is almost as good as ever.
Mrs. Ellsworth Crandall and son
Floyd, left here Monday on the re-
turn trip to their home at Artesia, N.
M. They went by way of Des Moines.
where they will visit her sister for a
few days, and then 60 directly to Ar
tesla. They have been here about
five weeks.
The G. H. C.'s had a moonlight pic
mic in the park last Thursday night.
About twenty assembled to participate
in the affair. Fried chicken held the
principle place on the menu card, and
there was coolies of good things to go
with it to make dandy, good supper.
Games were played and everyone
helped to make it a joyous occasion.
It is reported that A. A. Luke has
bought the store building occupied by
Killion's furniture store and that he
has given the occupant notice to vO-
cate. Much speculation is rife as to
what business is to be opened in this
building.
The bridge carpenters have complet-
ed the bridge over the ditch on the
road northeast of town near the !. G..
tracks. AS soon as the fill for the APP
proaches is made travel can be re-
sumed on this road and consequently
the large number of people across
the river from town will have their
regular road to travel instead of add
ing from one to two miles to their
usual distance.
The dredge is making good Roadway
now in it's work, having passed the old
mill site north of town and is rapid
ly cutting it's way through the valley.
At least a hundred people visited it
Sunday afternoon to see it cut its way
out into the river again.

Galland's Grove Sunday and spent the

wind which prevailed all the after

attempt a flight. AS consequence

sand people who had gathered
there were greatly disappointed,
and good many of the Philip
bunch returned Oh the night train
disgusted with the trip. 1t was
reported that Aviator Robinson
made trial flight Sunday, sailing
over the city and circling back to
the starting point, making a trip
of about a mile, but in alighting
damaged his machine. Some of
our townspcople who were in at
tendance at the stock meeting, de-
clare that the forenoon was ideal
for making flight, but the Rapid
City boosters did not want the
crowd to get away, so the big
attraction" was scheduled late in
the afternoon. On Wednesday a
driving storm of rain, snow and
sleet prevented the birdman from
navigating the air, and what was
left of the crowd was again disap-
pointed. Thus Rapid City secured
a lot of cheap advertising, as their
contract called for flight before
paying any money to the aviator.
Parties returning to Philip on the
night train yesterday, report that
two short flights were made We'd

Last evening was talking
With an editor aged and gray,
Who told me of dream he had,
/ think twas Christmas day.
While snoozing in his Office,
The vision came to view,
For he saw an angel enter,
Dressed in garments white and new.
Said the angel, "T'm from heaven,
The Lord just sent me down
To bring you up to glory,
And put on your golden crown.
You've been friend to every one,
And worked hard night and day,
You have educated thousands:
And from few received your pay.
So we want you up in glory,
For you have labored hard,
And the good Lord is preparing
I Your eternal, just reward
Then The angel and editor
started up towards glory's gate,
But when passing close to hades,
The angel murmured, "Wai t.
l have a place to show you
It's the hottest place in hell
Where the ones who never paid you
In torments always dwell"
And behold, the editor saw there
Old subscribers by the score,
And grabbing up a chair and fan,
He wished for nothing more;
But was bound to sit and watch then
AS they'd sizzle, SINCE and burn,
And his eyes would rest on debtors,
Whichever way they'd turn.
Said the angel, "Come on, editor,
There's the pearly gates to see,
But the editor only murmured,

The Caucus Meeting

A caucus was held in the city
hall Tuesday evening for the pur-
pose of putting in nomination one
councilman for each ward, a city
justice and police justice for the
city at large. Anderson Michael
was nominated to succeed himself
as councilman of the first ward;
g G. Wheeler being the only
nominee for the second ward, was
unanimously y elected to the nomina-
tion and no action was taken in the
third ward, the voters in that part
of the city being as scarce as the
proverbial hen teeth, which ap-
parently made it impossible to
select a candidate to succeed the
present incumbent. However it
is the general opinion that Frank
G. Schwartz has made good
record and if possible the third
ward voters will induce him to run
again.
A. j. Wray and William Bran
don were placed in nomination for
city justice, and the latter won out
by one vote.
Ed A. Lins was nominated for
city police justice and their being
no other candidates nominated he
was unanimously elected by accla
nation.
