Com lMercial Club.
Farmers Invited to Join, and a Good
Road Project Well Started.

At the commercial club meet.
ing Tuesday evening four new
members were received into the
club.
A resolution inviting farmers
to become members was also
read and adopted, and was as
follows:
The Milbank Commercial Club
desires the farmers of Grant
county to understand that the
scope of it's labors comprises the
welfare and progress of every
part of Grant county and not Mil
bank in particular. 1t desires
the cooperation of every farmer
in Grant county. A cordial in.
vitation has always been extend
ed to the farmers of the county
to become club members. Every
member of the club is hereby re-
quested to personally invite
farmers to become club mem.
berS.
The club can be made a very
interesting and helpful place to
farmers spending any time in
the city, and it is proposed to
make the fees for the country
members in proportion to bene-
fits enjoyed.
The good roads committee pre-
scented an outline for two county
roads, one running north and
south and the other east and west
from Milbank, and the work was
generally approved and the com
mittee instructed to continue it.
The proposition is to have the
townships through which the
roads run put as much labor as
possible on the routes selected,
and later ask the county to assist
in the work.
The road east goes directly
from Milbank to the state line,
the one west is the south road to
Twin Brooks, leaving the latter
place on the line. The road to
the south is the town line just
west of Milbank and a mile east
of Labolt, and nearly a direct line
from there south.
The club instructed the secre-
tary to purchase an American
flag for display at the club build
ing on gala occasions.

Near Fire.
At the Bruce MiddlebrOOk Home
Sunday Evening.

On Sunday night about ten
o'clock just as the Bruce Middle
brook family were about to re.
tire for the night Mr.. Middle
brook thought he smelled smoke,
and upon investigation he discov-
cred fire between the walls near
the fireplace. He Immediately
got busy, and tearing out the
partition he applied the city
water with a garden hose, and
soon extinguished the incipient
fire, though considerable damage
was done in tearing away the
walls to get at the hidden blaze.
1t was a very fortunate thing
that the fire was discovered be-
fore it had made any great head
way and prompt measures were
taken to smother it. The loss is
estimated at about $3.50.

first trip across the ocean is
probably one of the most appalling
marine disasters that has ever
happened. With 1920 passen-

were 216O souls on board when
the boat struck an iceberg and
within two OF three hours plung-
ed to the bottom of the sea. AS
near as can be ascertained some
1863 persons were saved and
between 1900 and 400 went do xn
with the ship. The saved were
put out in life boats, and after
wards picked up by the Carpa-
thia of the Cunard line, which
received a wiaeless message of
the disaster. Other vessels were
sent to the rescue of the THAMES
passengers, but the huge boat
sank before the rescuing boats
could reach her. OF the saved
passengers nearly all were
women and children.
The Titanic was the largest
steamer ever built, and among
her passenger list on this maiden
trip were a number Of the

Stole from Cars.
Two Men Arrested and Fined for
Breaking into Cars.

Policeman Claude Derrick went
up to Waubay last week and ar
rested two men who gave their
names as j. j. King and A. J.
FRIEDMAN, on a charge Of grand
larceny. These men, in company
with a third man, had been hang
ing around here for several days
and had boarded a freight train
for the west. Later it was dis
covered that they had worked
their way into car containing
groceries, cigars and liquors,
had freely helped themselves,
thrown some of the goods out OF
the car on the right of way, pos
sibly with the intention of getting
them later, and deliberately des-
troyed some of them by throwing
them on the floor of the car.
When arraigned before Justice
Bleser the men pleaded guilty OF
petit larceny, and his honor gave
them the maximum penalty OF
800 fine and 80 days in the
county Jail, but as they were
without funds the sentence really
means 80 days in the Jail.

made, were recently conducted In the

with copper and tin alternately. The

moths flying against them completing
the electric circuit. were killed, and
fell into receptacles beneath the
globes Mr.. Frost estimates that one
battery to an acre of trees will keep
he moths under control, dispensing
with the usual spraying and saving
many dollars. He is preparing to wire
his orchard of ten acres. containing
seven hundred trees, and some neigh
bors win do the same. Several thou
sand acres of bearing apple trees will
be thus equipped by spring If COM

remembered, SO that when the family

comfortable spot for each member
Curtains, too, should be chosen in
accordance with the needs and de-

Since the living-room is always
where the privacy of home life is en-
joyed, the curtains should, IL neces-
