Daily Mail Starts Monday.

At last the long desired daily mail
has materilized. IL will start
Monday morning, July LIST. This will
give us daily mail to Winner via
Carter and also to Murdo via White
River. Both routes start from here
and Dallas Shaw has been awarded
the contracts Tor hauling the mail to
both Carter and White River. That
we people of Wood are greatly pleased
is putting it mildly. We are ticsled
muchly, for it puts us in daily touch
with both railroads and the outside
world both east and west. Next thing
to a railroad, it is the best thing we
could have gotten. Congressman
Martin deserves much credit for his
able assistance in securing the route
and such good service We thank him

Look Out for Fire Next Week.

1t is probably not out OF place to
call to the mind OF our readers the
fact that at this time Of year everyone
should be very careful about setting
lire that they cannot control. Every.
thing is very inhamable during such
hot dry weather as this, and a little
carelessness right now might cause
the destruction of all farm buildings
or whole towns during the high winds.
1t would be very advisable for the
people here in town to clean up all
inhamable rubbish, as there will he
thousands of people here next week
among whom there will be some, no
doubt, careless enough to throw light
ed cigars, fire crackers, etc, any place
it happens. A little cleaning up will
probably save some loss.

About 1900 acres OF school land
in Mellette county has been leased by
Auditor Cummins, most Of it to home
stcaders for grazing purposes. Tha,
sounds good to us for the reason that
with quarter section of land on
which to raise crops and section on
which TO pasture his stock, the home
steader should be able to make for
tune in a few years. 1t also indicates
that the new settler is going into the
stock raising business along with his
farming, which is wise move. Farm
ing alone. without the raising Of
stock, never was n success in any new
country any more than il is in the
older settled countries. and We predict
the success OF every homesteader who
raises horses, cattle, swine and poultry
along with his farming efforts.

Step Il OFF, Brothers.

seem to be able to settle the question.
As the best way to settle it, we would
suggest that the two editors walk

here in the shortest time. Both OF
them will be tired enough on arrival
to admit that it is a heap long Mays

A Good Game.

The Wood ball tossers, accompan-
led by large majority of the people
of our little city, journeyed 10 Carter
last Saturday TO play game with the
team from Shoemaker. And it was
some game, too. Neither side scored
until about the sixth inning when a
few errors started things going and
the score stood three to four in Shoe
makers favor at the close OF the ninth
inning.
After The ball game several foot
races and horse races were enjoyed
by the large crowd present, and a
dance was given in the evening.

they are arriving every day to be in

The Scenic Highway Handy.

The cross state auto road from
Sioux Falls to Rapid City, known as
the Scenic Highway, which goes
through Murdo and other towns on
the Milwaukee by. north of US. is
rapidly developing into something
more than name. Much enthusiasm
is being cheated along the route and
work will progress rapidly when the
details are all worked out. Although
we are not on the road, it is only a
short auto drive TO it-about 35 miles
--and we can take advantage of it on
a trip to the eastern or western part
Of the state.
