claimed a caddy to a solitary golf
player on the links, relates the Indian
apolis News.
The player, who was addressing his
ball, knowing that the caddy must
have had good excuse for violating
an inflexible rule Of the links by
speaking when a player is preparing
to drive. looked up and saw a huge.
fiery ball, dimly poised, in the south
west.
"Oh, it's the sun. can see It now"
said the caddy. as a cloud of mist

red when first saw IT,"
The sight was really phenomenal,
for all the sky seemed to be clouded
except one small place that had been
penetrated by the suns fays. Almost
as the caddy spoke the veil OF mist

Today the scenes are shifted at the

The Ad Mems club OF Atlanta has

ways of raising money they have in

Charities.
In order to stir up enthusiasm for the
Charity night the AID Men will parade
the city and will whoop things up. So
many tickets have been sold for this
event that it should be a bowling sue

tonight above what 1t has been any
night this season.

WALTER E. FLANDERS
EXPLAINS PL ANS OF

As there seems to be a general misun-
Outstanding and considerable misappre-
hension among dealers handling the va
rious lines-Stoddard. Maxwell Flanders,
etc.-as TO just what will happen when
Walter f. Flanders takes hold of the reins
of the reorganized United States, Mr..
Flanders has made the following state
ment:
while ] am not yet ready, and it would
be premature, to announce the new sales
policy in detail, will say that the general
they are 50 far as dealers are concerned.
That is to say, those dealers who have
been handling Maxwell or Stoddard cars,
will continue to enjoy those agencies I'M
disturbed. And dealers who are handling
the Flanders Skies will also continue to
handle that line undisturbed. The sales,
like themanufacturing policy, will be one
of expansion, not of contra elton.
I have never seen any great success
achieved by cutting down. The way to
make profits is to increase output. And
that being our plan, it goes without say
competent man the old organization
whether in the field or in the factories.
1T seems to me logical that men who
have been trained to sell Maxwell or
Stoddard cars in the field, who are imbued
with loyalty and enthusiasm for that
product are the ones to continue to rep
resent those lines. And that will be the
policy.
And while the general administration
offices will be moved to Detroit, our New
York office will continue to be an i'm

sitting like sparrows on the fence,

Az an indication that the six-cylin-
9ar Drained fellows in the automobile
industry are not asleep, a remarkable
Gathering has just been held in In

Indianapolis the city, as a gasoline

1t was Joe" Cole who sprang this
idea originally-that automobiles have
been ordered, delivered but not sold,
as he said:
It's the man who makes money for

man who buys his car, who will make
the most money. who will win the race.

County Division Talked

Division of Meade county has
been talked over the county for
the last two years, and at the
present time the proposition is
warmed up to the degree that
something is going to be done this
year in an endeavor to set off a
part of the county. The whole
east end of the county is united
on the proposition that there
should be a division of some kind q,
and they are now trying to work
out division to the best interests
of all concerned.
Meade county, as everyone
knows, is entirely too large for
the proper despatch of the coun-
ty's business, and on account of
its immense size causes much un-
necessary expense, which must be
taken out of the tax payers pock-
cts. 1t is the opinion of The
Faith that the idea will meet with
very little opposition, in the entire
county, as in our present cumber.
some shape and size one end is a
hinderance to the other, all of
which could be disposed through
division. The Faith.

Brushie P. 0. Discontinued

The town of Brushie is dead. 1t
died officially last Tuesday when
Uncle Samuel closed the postflice
at that place. This does not
mean, however, that the Brushie
country is dead, for emphatically
it is not. The Brushie country is
in it's infancy and is one of the
healthiest and huskiest youngsters
to be found anywhere. The
demise of the town of Bfushie
will have no effect on the sur
rounding country for as a town
it has been a dead one for over a
year anyhow. But don't for a
minute imagine that there is any,
thing dead about the Brushie
country-it will make them all
sit up and take notice. -Brushie

Aviators are Dashed to Death

London, May 14.-Victor Louis
Mason, an American, identified
with extensive mining interests
and at one time private secretary
to the American Secretary of
War, Gen. K. A. Alger, and to
his successor, Elihu Root, was
killed today while making a flight
at Brookens with the English
aviator, E. V. Fisher, who also
was killed by being pitched from
his machine when at height of
about $50 feet. Fisher was about
to give an exhibition and picked
MIR. Mason as a partner from
among the spectators.
They circled the track once
when eye witnesses say the ma
chine, which was monoplane,
made ali abrupt turn. 1t wavered
a moment and then fell straight
to earth. The sudden stoppage
in the air threw Fisher headlong
from his seat. Mason was pin
ned beneath the wreckage, which
caught fire, and he was badly
burned.
Physicians say that both men
died almost instantly. 1t is sur
missed that some fault developed
in the engine of the monoplane
which caused the accident, as
weather conditions were perfect.

He stands for square deal for all

Mr.. LeCocq's long residence in

which he has established reputa-

dealing during that period and his
sympathy for the cause of the great

Horrible Tragedy in the Peterson

Presho, S. d., May 15-Peter
Peterson, living IL miles northwest
of here, his wife, and FIVE children
the latter all under 9 years of age
were burned to death Monday
night in fire which destroyed
their home near Lund. in Lyman
county.
A women on horseback, search
ing for stray CATTLE, found the
ruins last night. An investigation
disclosed parts of seven skeletons.
All apparently we're burned in
their beds, except Mrs Peterson,
who had made her way to the
kitchen, where an incubator was
kept.
Peterson had spoken to neigh
bors about the brooder lamp leak
ing, and the coroner's jury gave
verdict of death from fire follow
ing an explosion.
The farm is so situated that the
flames of the burning house ap-
peared to be a bonfire, and nothing
was known of the disaster for "a
hours. A hundred people drove
out from Presho this morning to
the scene.
Mrs. Adamson, a sister of Mrs.
Peterson, is prostrated by the
shock.
Mr.. Peterson came here from
Geddes seven years ago. He had
relatives in Turner county, and he
had a fine barn and home.

Editor Bad River News,

LulCOr Dau RlVer news,
Philip, South Dakota.
We are glad to see that we still
have one paper in Philip that
prints the news impartially as it
comes, or at least as near as the
truth can be had out of the present
political tumble. DeplorabIe as
the national political troubles are
at the present time, the Roosevelt
and Taft forces have not yet put
forth anything quite so rotten and
contemptuous as the sensational
matter which has been lately pass
ing through some of our county
papers. A number of aspirants
for county offices seem to be try
ing the old game of raising so
much dust over what someone else
is said to have done, that they can
| slip in unnoticed. But it looks
like the game wouldn't work this
time. The people are tired of this
sort and the man who is fair and
square is bound to win out. Some
of the stuff we have had lately is a
disgrace to writer and publisher
alike and a disgrace to our county.
The men who write such obnoxious
matter and the politicians who
permit and encourage such methods
are sadly lacking in patriotism and
unqualified to hold any position of
trust. Keep up the good work
and we are all with you.
