MARRIED At MARSHALLTOWN
Durkee- Parsons Ceremony Call for EX-
plantations from Iowa Minister

Concerning the marriage or
Miss Mauric Durkce, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. ii. Durkee, Of
this city, which occurred in Mar
shalltown, Iowa, July Goth, and
has become known to the people
Of Philip only within the past
week, the Times csRepublican, of
Marshalltown, has the following
to say:
Rev. S. E. Ellis, pastor of the
Methodist church, is wishing that
he had become a little more fami-
liar with the Iowa law regard
ing marriages before he consent
ed to perform a ceremony for
one Claire Parsons, of haywood,
ILL.,, and Maurie Durkee, of Phil
ip, $. d., who are alleged to have
elOped.
The marriage was celebrated
here last Thursday night at 9:3O
on license granted at Waterloo
on the same day. The groom had
a witness to procure his license
at Waterloo, but told there that
he was to come to MarshalltOwn
to meet his intended bride. This,
it appears, he did, and presented
his Waterloo license here and
was married on it.
Mr.. Ellis asked the young man
if he had inquired of the clerk
of courts and was sure it was le-
gal for one to marry in another
county from which the license
was secured. Parsons claimed
that he had investigated and that
everything was regular. Not hav-
ing been confronted with a SINH
lar condition since becoming
minister in this state, Mr.. Ellis
took lal sons word for the legal
ity and did not investigate the
law himself until Monday, when
he received a communication
from the clerk of courts at Wat
erloO.
Mr.. Ellis legal advice is to
the effect that the couple is mar
ried legally enough, but that the
officiating clergyman is subject
to fine for performing the GER
emony in another county from
which the license was issued, in
the event some one cares to start.
the action In this case it is rn-
derstoOd that the young woman's
father had objected to the we'd
ding, but how far he may go,now
that the couple is married, is not
known. The clerk Of courts at
Waterloo informed Rev. Mr.. Ell
lis that he would file the pas
tors return on the license for
what it was worth.
In another column of the same
issue of the Times Republican
we find the following item:
Claire Parsons, the young man
from haywood, ILL.,, who was
married here last Thursday night,
when he claimed Miss Maurie
Durkee, of Philip, S. d., as his
bride, on license granted in
another county, is known at Lis
comb, where he has been work
ing this summer on the farm of
his brotherin-law, George Brown.
Miss Durkee, and her mother,
have been visiting at the William
Gould home this summer.

A serious situation is re-
ported from Dupree, where they

GREAT FUTURE FOR STANLEY
Alfalfa and Milch Cows Would Bring
Permanent Prosperity to Country

1t has got too wet for dry
farming; what kind of a spiel
can we put up to the farmstead
cr now to get him to stay!
One of my friends said to me
few days ago, "keith, want
you to cut out your cheap talk
about dry farming, and talk
cows. Cows have been the sal
VatiOn of every new country that
has ever been settled" And he
was absolutely right. The home
stcader east Of the Big Muddy
in South Dakota who has made
good is the fellow who has hung
onto his land and few good
cows. And the same is true of
every state in the Union.
A good milch cow will
raise her own family and pro-
vide about half the living for
the human family also if given
half chance. A dozen OF
them would provide for a large
family on a homestead in Stanley
countv twelve months in the
year and at least nine years IN
ten, the year 1911 being the on
ly exception in the white man s
history of the county.
The humble COW will eat al
most anything that grows in the
groumd-corn, stalks, husks and
all; sorghum, seeds and stalks;
any kind of small grain and all
the straw besides; potatoes, ,beets,
turnips or most any vegetable
but onions; any kind of hay, ev-
en- the russian thistle; and turns
it into milk for the human fami-
ly to eat; and finally, when her
usefulness is over as a producer
of the one food that alone will
sustain the human race the long
est, she meekly walks out into
the pasture and builds up her
body into the second best food
known to man, "beef," and un-
compIainingly lays down her
life on the altar of man s appe
tite.
Statesman grow grey in trying
20 explain the merits and deme-
rits of the tariff; silver tongued
orators spellbind the world in
eulogizing our war heroes; poets
go wild over the usefulness of
the horse and the sagacity, af-
lection, and so forth, Of the dog.
But permit me to take off my
hat to the old brindle cow that
has nourished the world for ages.
The most. important factor in
considering the value of the cow
is the feed. Stanley county has
been noted for years as the ideal
feeding ground for her majesty,
but nature has provided for beef
more than milk, and when man
wishes to benefit from milk more
than beef it is up to him to as
sist the soil to bring forth the
milk producing feed. Alfalfa is
our hope and as a mortgage lift
er and life saver alfalfa stands
in the same relation to the vege-
table kingdom as the cow to the
animal kingdom and if our cOun-
try is the natural home Of the
latter, it is also nature s own gar
den spot for the former.
In Iowa and other states the
soil must first be inoculated with
a certain bacteria, (which the
government has furnished free,"
before it will produce the plant
at all, but after it is thus treat
ed Iowa soil will produce the
plant. Yet, although it is a
plant that requires some moisture
in fact the more water it gets
the more hay it will produce. In
wet country it is almost impos-
sible to cure the hay and it
will not yield any seed. The ide-

All stands and concessioners will
be required to post prices of

The sale of inferior and impure
articles will be prohibited.
No other state in the Union, in
proportion to it's size and age,
will have fair which will at all
compare III magnitude with the
great South Dakota State Fair
this fall. The monstrous new

well and lake, the large dining
halls, the new stock paviIions, the
many expensive attractions. and
other important features will
combine to make the fair a com

 In any case it would seem unfortunate that we should be compelled to know these words, to know and then forget the i'm = perative significance of mystic numbers like g, and to be excused from kno owing words sanctiied by Shakespeare or Chaucer. Is literature then a slang gone out of date, and only that?
 This introduces to us a new line of adi- torial activity, the production of a twen- teth century edition of all the classics in which every rare old word requiring a glossary for application, should be ruth lessly expunged and familiar word sub stituted. The Twentieth Century Testa- ment has done this, and more Some preachers have taken that work into their pulpits and have given the congregations a taste of the real Paul, the real John, in quite modern dress I suppose there may sometimes be excuse for this para phrasing of vital truth, but it takes more than courage.

Is a knocker one who is peeved, or Is it necessary for yapper to be peeved before he can ccnscksntiously and effectively 'yap"?
