A Ride in the Country

Last Sunday H. o. Wickre drove up
in his big Case automobile and invited
the senior member of the Reporter and
Farmer force to take a drive with him
out to the farms.
We started about eleven o'clock and
drove first to the Home Farm" in
Independence township, which is in
charge of Ben, Mr.. Wickre's youngest
son. The young gentlemen was not at
home. We took a stroll around and
looked over the place and stock. The
fine prize winning Belgian horses, Duroc
Jersey hogs and Hereford cattle are as
fine bunch of stock as we have ever
seen.
The Home Farm is equipped with all
the facilities of the modern farmer and
stock raiser. A fine large barn, gran
airy, elevator, feed mill operated by a
gasoline engine, a hog house, poultry
house, and good, loomy, comfortable
residence. 1t is an ideal farm and Mr..
Wickre is justly proud of it. We fee
safe in saying it is one of the qery best
places in Day county from every point
Of view.
From the Home Farm We drove over
to the farm, in Homer township, which
is in charge of Jacob Wickre. Here
more attention is paid to agriculture.
The farm comprises a section of land
has fine residence, large and wei
appointed barn, granary and other build
ings. Jacob informed US that the ,banr
of the average farmers existence is the
blowing and to facilitate matters in TIL:
line he has just installed gasoline trac
ton engine and gang plows. He has
plowed with the rig five days; the leas
plowed in one day was twenty acres anc
the most Twenty-Five. Mr.. Wickre i:
satisfied that the gasoline engine anC
gang plows have solved the fall blowing
proposition most satisfactorily. They
have their own threshing rig; the gaso
line engine used for the plows is alsC
used for the threshing machine.
Although it was late in the Afternoon
Mrs. Wickre served US with nice lunch
to which we did ample justice before
starting for home.
We arrived in Webster about sever
o'clock, having enjoyed pleasant ride
beautiful afternoon, the heighth o
hospitality, and visited two of the mos
perfectly equipped and best appointeC
farm homes in Day county.

Roosevelt will be confined to the hos
pital for at least ten days.
AS soon as the colonel in able to
leave that city, Colonel Roosevelt will
be taken to Oyster Bay. He will
remain at home there until he has
completely recovered and will take no
active part in the campaign.
The fact that his injury was such
that it would force him into retirement
for some time was pointed out to the
colonel by the surgeons at the hospital.
They were emphatic in telling him that
to assure his complete recovery he
would have to remein quiet for several
weeks and the colonel reluctantly
agree, insisting at the same time that
he felt perfectly fit' and could make
a public speech today.
The announcement that Colonel
Roosevelt would do no more campaign
ing was followed by revised announce
ment that if he sufficiently recovered
he might address a mass meeting at
Madison Square garden in New York
about October &c.

DYNAM|TERS CAPTURED
CHIEF OF POLICE GARRICk
GETS A BAD BUNCH
HARRY HOWSON GIVES CLUE
Which Leads to Arrest of Three
Men-One Had The Goods on
Him And is Willing to
Plead Guilty Others
Make Denial

Last Monday morning Harry Howsor
who has been conducting well drill
ing outfit during the past summer anC
had to use considerable dynamite fol
blasting purposes, was approached by
three fellows who desired to purchase
some of the explosive. Harry got in
communication with Chief of Police
Garrick and asked what he should do.
The chief advised him to make the sale
and to keep watch of the man to whom
he delivered the goods. The sale was
made but the three had separated and
only one man appeared for the dyna-
mite. Just after he had secured his
purchase and started on his way he
was pointed out to Chief Garrick who
Immediately went in pursuit. The
fellow went down around the mill and
upon noticing shat the chief of police
was following Immediately increased
his pace to get away, but Garrick was
too fleet for him and overlook him
near the stock yards and he had the
goods upon him-fve sticks of dyna-
mite, some fuse and caps.
He was taken before Police Justice
Harris and gave his name as James
McAleer. He is about thirty years old.
He was arraigned under the statute of
1909 which makes it crime to have
such stuff in ones possession unless
they can prove they are going to use it
for lawful purposes. The fellow con-
fessed that he had purchased it for
two other fellows and that it was going
to be used to make "juice"-nitro
glycerine to be used in blowing up the
safes in some postoffices near here and
desired to have the magistrate send for
Judge McNulty so he could plead guilty
and begin his term in Sioux Falls at
once. He seems to be well posted on
the law and knows the police justice
could not pass sentence for the offense
charged.
In the afternoon of the same day
Chief of Police Garrick picked up the
two fellows who are supposed to be
McAleer's confederates. They were
charged with vagrancy and being drunk
and disorderly and given FIVE days ir
the city Jail in the hopes that during
that time McAleer would admit they
were the two for whom he purchased
the dynamite. They gave their names
as James Walker and Charles Chowger
There is not much doubt in the
minds of the authorities that they have
got three bad crooks as they have beer
recognized by man who saw them al
taken in at once by the authorities ir
Aberdeen a short time ago. J. v
Martin, now chief of police of Butler
was here Tuesday and identified the
three as bunch he had pick ID uI
together and incarcerated in the Butler
Jail. To make the evidence still
stronger McAleer asked the chief OF
police if he had sent for the chief Of
detectives for the Bankers Protective

on HEATH,

Editor Honolnln Star-BuIletin,
Sir:-MiIIions OF dollars are spent
every year in search OF health but. nm
fortunately. by the great majority of
men il is never found. We forget, or
do not know. that it Is often lying at
our door. and can generally be had
without money and without price and
generally ats.but little trouble.
or course. good health is largely a
gift from heaven and from our fore-
fathers, but in most cases II Is a gift
that is wasted through ignorance or
through pure carelessness. The first
requirements OF good health are said
TO be plenty OF fresh air, plenty OF
sleep, and plenty of exercise. Swim
ming and sea bathing are not only
good exercises but they are said 10 be
the antidote for this climate. And it's
a great pity that more people do not
enjoy this inyigorating and beneficial
exercise Walking. of which most
people have q decided dislike. is aiso
we'll known to be good exercise. There
are dozens Of exercises that not only
improve the health, but in some cases
have been known to cure disease.
Exercise also keeps the. body sup-
Pile, straight and strong. Besides
these there are breathing exercises.
that are said to Increase the appetite.
the digestion, the circulation and to
cure consumption.
"A proper diet and the Fletchefizing
OF ones food is also one of the aids
to good health, as IS also the eating of
nuts and fruit and the drinking of
plenty of water between meals. 1t is
also important not to eat too much
food and to use some Judgment in Sc
lecting 1t. Al fast once in while is
now considered one OF the roads to
health. A three days fast causes no,
great distress and may, and often.
does, do great deal of good,
Cheerfulness Ii great aid to good
health, and perfect health it Is said
cannot be secured without it.
There are many exercises that can
be done without any apparatus of any.
kind, and which are recommended BY
such men as Sandow, Bockman, Dr.
Hand, and many others. and which
are q pleasure to do, and which cause
no inconFenience whatever. OF courst
there are more strenuous exercises
for stronger men, and which will do
wonders in building . man up. The
writer does not claim that exercise
Il cure-all, or that doctors are new
err needed, but he does claim that they
would be less often required IL more
exercise were taken and II more at
tenti0n were given to the laws Of hy-
gfene. To live the simple life and to-
love everything that Is beautiful In
nature and art also makes for health.
as does also the love Of little children
and dumb animals.
Yours very truly,
GEO OSBORNE.
