BIG TIME AT
SOCIAL SESSION
PROSPER FARMERS GATHER AT
MILLER BROTHTRS HOME
AND EVERYTHING GOOD To
EAT HELPED PASS THE
TIME.
lRy Chester Ruth.A

The unusual interest taken in the
organization of the Farmers Club of
Prosper Township was we'll attested
by the large attendance at the last
meeting of the club. on Friday even
ing, June IL. The home of the Miller
brothers was the scene, of the fine
gathering, and considerably more
than a hundred people were present.
Many visitors from adjoining town
ships awaited them& elves of the OPP
portunity to accept the hospitality
of the Properties.
n meeting was in the nature of
a social gathering, and a program of
no small talent had ben prepared for
the occasion. MIR. r. c. Hoffman, one
OF the most prominent farmers of the
county and who has resided in the
township for over 80 years, made a
brief address of appropriate nature.
He was followed by DR.. T. l.. Harris
OF Dakota Wesleyan university. He
spoke very pertinently with regard
to the profit that may be derived
from the social intercourse offered
by means of such organizations as
the farmers club and expressed his
admiration for the results in this
direction which had become so ap-
parent in Prosper township. DIR. Har-
ris was II of the men chiefly in
.terested in the formation of the club
and his tireless efforts to promote
Its welfare have been great factors
in its success.
Among the other speakers were
Charles Boreson, Thomas Smart and
William Leake, the two latter basine
their remarks upon the question of
extension of the social activities of
the club. A variety of musical num-
bers was offered as features of the
program. Ice rea and cake in alb
undant quantities were served during
the evening and the overflow of en-
thusiasm on this accession, as we'll as
precious assemblies augurs we'll
for the future work of the club.

RAINFALL PAST
WEEK WAS GOOD
MADE A GREAT DEAL OH n,,,.
FERENCE IN THE FIELDS OF
SMALL GRAIN WHICH WILL
SOON BE READY TO HAIR
VEST.

Sioux Falls, S. D.-Small grain
IN sections of the state which re-
celved their share of the rainfall
during June, has been greatly bene-
lifted by rains at intervals during
me past week. In limited areas.
where the rainfall in June was much
below normal, small grain in MANY
fields was injured to such an extent
mat 1T could not recover. but i'm
other localities small grain which
was believed to have been seriously
damaged has recovered nicely under
the influence of recent rains and will
slelo as we'll as during many former
seasons.
In some localities weather condi-
tlons this season have been peculiar.
IN these localities it is nothing un-
to find good yields of small
gram IN a certain locality, while
other flelds perhaps less than half a
mile away will scarcely be worth
cutting. This is due to the rain
coming in streaks, soaking some
larms While other farms but a
snort distance away had slight rain
lall' or none at all from many of the
storms which have swept over the
state.
Grain is Revived.
In some localities wheat and other
small grain which was stunted in
growth by the hot and dry weather
OF June. and which has attained a
helght OF not much more than II
foot,headed out and recent rains
nave caused the heads to be about
as plump as those on grain which
reached its accustomed growth. In
these stunted fields it will be nee
essary to operate headers in har-
yestlng the crop, but the yield is
expected to be about the average.
Another peculiar feature is that
wheat and other grain sown in the
spring on land which was plowed
last fall did not withstand the dry
and hot weather nearly so we'll as
small grain which was sown on
spring blowing. 1t had always been
supposed that grain sown on fall
plowlhg would do much better than
that on spring blowing.
Barley harvest and the harvesting
OF winter rye and other grains which
nave ripened early now is in progress
IN the greater part of the state,
while wheat is commencing in the
southern part Of the state and will
gradually extend northward. Corn
continues to do exceptionally we'll in
all parts of the state.

COURT REFUSES TO
STOP NEW SCHOOL

Aberdeen. S. D.-The court passed
en- an application for a writ of prohi-
bition preventing the Claremont
school board from continuing work
on a new school house in that viii
lage. An element in Clairmont is op-
posed to the construction of the new
building. and this is the third time
the matter has been in court. This
time the board had proceeded so far
as to have the frame work of the
structure finished. when work was
stopped by the application of the
writ. A little v e a year ago the leg
atty of the bond issue to pay for the
building was attacked, but it was held
valid by Judge McNulty and his de-
cision was sustained by the state SUI
preme court. Then the board was
forced to go into court seeking a
writ of mandamus to compel the
county treasurer to sign the bonds,
and was successful in securing the
writ. The latest action was also de-
,cided in favor of the board, Judge
McNulty holding the plaintiffs were
not properly in court, and that the
board Is complying with the Law in
all It's procedure connected with the
building of the school house.

LIST o FTHE LIVE ONES AND
WILL WORK FOR GOOD
OF COMMUNITY,

On July 18th the people of Lisbon
township met at Albert Stevens
grove Tor a Sunday school picnic. Ev-
cry one was out for a good time, and
they surely had it before the day was
over. A short time before noon the
teams were driving in from all direc-
tions. and it seemed the whole COM
munlty was taking advantage of this
day OF fun. AT II O'Clock a dinner
was served that would have done
Justice to the kings of the Orient.
Following this a four inning game
OF ball was played between the mar
RED men and the single men in which
the married men beat by a score of 5
to q. A short program followed of
music and speeches. Professor Jones
of d.. w. U. who was a visitor at the
nicnic was given a place on the pro-
gram at which time he spoke on farm
cooperation. He showed very clearly
that the farmer was losing out in
many ways by not being organized.
Thomas Smart also gave an effective
talk on education and farm life.
AS 500 as the program ended the
chairman called for a vote on organ
izatioen and there was a hearty re-
in its favor. The necessary
were taken for temporary or
g~anization. The following officers
We're chosen:
Chas. Hoelscher, chairman.
Allen Stevens, secretary.
For a constitution committee:
Chas. Hoelscher, chairman, Mrs.
Wallace Miller. Mrs. Clifford, Dan
Jessup, Albert Stevens, August Pier
The committee will meet to lay
plans for permanent organization.
This is the first farmers cub in the
vicinity of Mitchell that was started
without being planned before hand
which shows that the formers are
catching the spirit of the day.

DEADWOOD AT NEXT SEES
SION.

Deadwood. S. D.-Can a deserted
wife bring a contest against her hus-
band for a homestead entry while he
still resides on the land? Would al
legged cruelty be sufficient ground for
contrasting a relinquished entry? Is
the wife qualified to make a home
stead entry when incompetent? Has
a deserted wife a preference right to
contest on any other ground than alb
andonment? These are the questions
to be decided in a land office case
that will come up here next month
over the title to a piece of ground in
Spearfish valley, formerly owned by
Nicholas Thien. Then settled there
ten years, ago. then made homestead
entry and finally sold his relinquish-
ment to ii. ID. Pope of Lead. Mrs.

ment, claiming that she was technic-
ally abandoned by Thine for the rea-
son hat his alleged cruel treatment
of her caused her to leave him and
resulted in her condition. This Thine
denies and the government is asked
to decide the wife's rights.
