DISTRICT CONVENTION
LARGE ATTENDANCE AT
LAST U MEETING
AN INTERESTING MEETING
Harmony Prevails In The Work
In Day County. Some Spleen
did Papers Read. Officers
Elected For Ensuing
Year

Mr.. Editor:-An especially helpful
Sunday School convention was held at
the Methodist church in Webster last
Sunday, September Is, 1912, under the
auspices of the Day County Sunday
School association.
Special mention must be given to
Mrs. l. S. Coomes and her corps of eff
Gent assistants for the splendid pro-
gram prepared for the occasion.
w. c. Happe rendered most excel
lent service and added much to the
success and entertainment of the meet
ing by his leadership of the chorus
choir in some very inspirational sing
ing.
Senator VIM. Carpenter, of Ando-
yer, known far and wide as an enthus-
iastic Sunday School worker and our
honored county president, presided
at the meeting with his usual ease and
grace upon this session.
The exercise opened with devotional
service led by Rev. Mortimer R. Crisp.
County Superintendent of Schools ].
H. Hetley was introduced and in a few
earnest and well chosen words babe the
members and visitors welcome to Web
ster.
President VIM. Carpenter made a
most appropriate response and the ses-
sion was in full swing.
At this time Miss Josephine Cloyd,
a useful worker in the North Webster
Sunday School, was introduced, and
read a most interesting paper on the
topic, How to Keep Young People
Interested in the Bible" Miss Cloyd
said that young children should have
access to a large family Bible, having
many pictorial illustrations, and if
some older member of the family could
explain these pictures in story form it
would arouse youthful interest in the
holy book. Miss Cloyd said that par
ents and friends should make presents
of Bibles to young people that they
may have them for their own, as own
ership inspires interest in the thing
owned. This was a good paper and
was greatly appreciated.
Rev. F. p. Leach, state secretary of
the South Dakota Sunday School asso
citation, was then presented and gave
a strong address on "The Sunday
Schools Message to the Child" Some
of the interesting items touched upon
were as follows, "This is Young Peo-
pies Age" "Our Savior Taught that
Innocent Childhood Belongs to Him.
Children Have an Especial Place in
Gods Kingdom"
After the appointment of the com
mittees and an offering for the Sunday
School work the convention adjourned
for dinner.
The afternoon session began at two
o'clock with an uplifting song service
led by Brother Happe.

Section Of North Central Avenue Being Dotted With Pretty
 Houses.

Devotees of driving on North Gen. tral avenue, have noticed with great interest the extensive work of i'm provement in the large tract of ground lying on the west side of Central avenue, north of Sims addi- tion, which for so long a time has been dormant. This new addition, known as Chelsea Place. has become a hive of industry, building operations on large scale have begun and from the present indications this new tract will be pretty well built up within the year. The architectural designs of the houses now being constructed and those under contract, to start soon will place this tract in the front rank as a choice resident district
 Joe Melczer has a beautiful loca- ton facing Central avenue with large grounds, the basement and foundation are already constructed for his new home. Excavations for the basement and foundation for Mrs Louise Johnson's home have been finished. Work will begin tomorrow on a beautiful home for Mrs. F. D. Welch. The Home Builders have two houses, each of which will cost $40OO well under way. and are arranging to start the third building within a week

REAL ESTATE
MONTH IF JUNE
 GOOD FOR REALTY
Some of Transactions Through J. s.
 Griffin's Agency.

j. $. Griffin who's office is at West Adams, has enjoyed a very prosperous month this far in June. Already since several large sales and number of smaller ones. He has just closed the negotiations that have been in prog 1ess for several days for the sale of the Goodman ranch, known as the old Woolsey ranch, at Peoria. This is one of the finest alfalfa ranches in the en- tire valley. The purchaser is F. M. Green. a banker from Long Beach, California The price paid for the ranch was $43.200. which price is con sidered very low for the ranch and it is said MT. Green has secured an ex- ceptional bargain. Two hundred and fifty acres of the ranch is in first class alfalfa. The secOn1 crop of hay has been made from most of this. The amount of hay produced has been enormous and from the appearance much land will be wasted in finding room to stack the crop. It is a diff cult thin for a farmer to handle so much hay on one ranch and it has been found necessary to feed large number of cattle on this ranch in order that all the alfalfa may be taken care of. A great deal of the ranch is finished with page fence. The ranch contains a neat house and large barn. One of the most interesting factors of the ranch is it's splendid little grove of bearing orange trees This grove has been pointed 10 by many ill the district as being a demonstration of the adapt ability of that location, elevation, and soil for the production of oranges. The trees are approximately 14 years old. and have never been frosted. It is stated that next year MT. Green pro- poses to move on his new ranch with his family.
 Another interesting deal just closed by MT Griffin is the sale of 160 acres
 in section g, which is about three miles southwest of Peoria. This is unimproved. though splendid land and was sold for $10,OOO cash. to H. L. San derson of Whittier, California. MT. Sanderson already has a force at work and win shortly have the entire tract in cultivation.
 An interesting incident in connection with the sale of this land was a letter received from Mir Reed, who owns the northeast of the southeast quarter of the same section, written at Peoria. last Thursday, advising MT. Griffin of the price he would sell his 40 acre ranch Mr. Sanderson's son was in MT Griffins office at the same time the letter was received, and became
 interested. The next day the son in vestigated tn land and by Satuday 1 noon MT Griffin had a deposit for the sale of this tract.
 l The selling price of this 40 acre rancf
 was $4OOO cash. It is a neat little ranch, fenced and partially in alfalfa ! MT. Griffin's office also sold two lot: l in Orchard Edition in Glendale, t 1 Martha Kyler. Two lots in East Ever 1 green were sold to J. Sanders of Ten l nessee-
 1 A lot of Irwin was sold for James 1 Blanton.

Ben nftt &, CO, and consisted in the sale of twenty lots in Bennett place from various owners to F. B. O'Neill. The lots are located in block F, L and l. Sixteen of them are in F and two each in l. and l. The consideration in the transaction was $21,750.00, or a little over thousand dollars lot. The property is in one of the most de- sirabIe residence sections of Phoenix where there are high building restric- tions It is the intention of the new owner to shortly construct a number Of modern dwellings on his new prop erty.
 The office also reports the sale of the l.. N. Jesunofsky property on North Central avenue to Judge Henry D. Ross Judge Ross is at present occupying the Carl Hayden house on First avenue but will shortly move to his new home. MT. and Mrs Jesu- nofskv will leave in a few days for New York and other points east where they will spend the summer. Their plans for the future are rather indefinite but having disposed of most of their property holdings in Phoenix, there is a fear that they may leave the new state for good.
 Building activity in Capitol addi- ton continues good. Chas. Aulenbach, who purchased two lots on Jefferson street d short time ago now has neat cottage well under way. r. W Griffen and Miss Edna Wilson also let q contract during the week to c. H. Kunselman for the construction of modern dwelling on the corner of Six teenth avenue and Monroe street.
