Scription to the LEADER.
Col. Fred 6. Danforth Of Parker
was in Canton Saturday on his way
to Charles City, Iowa, by auto, &C
CUmpanied by ms family. His car
needed a little fixing and while the
garage men were at work on it, he
made this Office a call. We talked
religion, politics and good roads be-
fore he departed.
Edwin Haugen, a bright progressive
young farmer from southern High
land, was among u renewal sub
scribers who called Saturday. Edwin
says their corn will be fine. lie look
ed at a big catawba cOlOred pear on
the Editors table, and smiled. That's
one of p. S. Haulson'S big pears. we
told him, "well," said he sit looks
sweet and | believe beats anything in
the pear line In good old Highland,
but we have other things that slides
over Norway and he was gone.
p. S. Paulson of Moe was in town
last Saturday and called on the LEAD
EK to renew his subscription. He also
presented the Editor with a paper
bag filled with eight great fine pears,
perfect beauties, picked from a tree
last Friday evening that yielded four
bushels. Mr.. Paulson is a very sue
cesSful fruit grower, having some
thing like 300 bushels of apples on
hand now, but the pears, they make
you smack your lips to look at them.
BerDt Asheim, one Of the promin-
ent young farmers of Highland town
ship, was a LEADER visitor Tuesday.
He called to renew his subscription,
and the Asheim brothers, Bernt,
Knudt and Steffert are all readers Of
the LEADER. Lars B. ASheim, father
of these prominent young farmers,
owns 600 acres in Highland and the
brothers are running these apricult-
ural banks. while the pioneer father
lives on the old homestead and takes
a deep interest in its management.
Six hundred acres of we'll improved
Lincoln county land represents a
very comfortable fortune.
The genial and happy and popular

spent Sunday in town with Mrs. Kun.
dert and the little ones. Charlie
dropped in to see the editor Saturday
afternoon and said as he dropped two
big sill YER plunkS on the desk: Good
Lord, man. send us the LEADER" and
we supposed Charles had been on the
list ever since he retired in March.
He is now with Brown & Saenger of
that he picks up more business for
that firm than any man they ever had
on the road, and he is liable to say
when he reads this item '"That's no
lie"
p. S. Paulson and wife, II. z. Han
son and wife, of Moe, in one car, with
Mr.. and Mrs. Ole Haugen and Mr..
and Mrs. Sander BrynjulSOn Of High
land, in another car, made up an auto
party that drove out to Lake Andes,
in Charles Mix, to enjoy a few days
fishing last week, but when they got
there the weather turned damp and
cold and a days fishing was all they
cared for. They returned home by
the way of Mitchell, Salem, Montrose
and Sioux Falls, travelling 326 miles
on the entire trip according to Mr..
PaulSon'S roadometer. In going out
they took a due west course from
Moe until they reached Wagner and
then north to the lake, a fine body or
water about Is miles in length and In
places four miles wide, a fair rival to
beautiful Kampeska. Mr. Paulson says
the trip was delightful from start
to finish, and the ladies came home
satisfied that an automobile trip Is a
matchless pleasure.
