$1,000 FOR
ALFALFA SEED
ABERDEEN BANKERS ADVANCE
MONEY TO ENABLE BETTER
FARMING ASSOCIATION TO
MAKE DEAL.

Aberdeen, S. D.-The Aberdeen
Clearing House association, working
in collaboration with the South Da-
kota Better Farming association.
took a long step forward in the work
of encouraging diversified farming in
South Dakota, when it adopted plans
to lend $1,000 to the Better Farming
association for the purchase of two
carloads of alfalfa seed to be dis
tributed among the farmers in
South Dakota. Concerning the ac-
tion of the Clearing House associa-
tlon, superintendent III. +. Patterson
OF the Better Farming association.
said: 1.-The Better Farming %associa-
ton does not have funds nor is ii
the object of the association to con-
duct a seed business, but it is deep
ly interested in the permanent pro
ductivity of farm lands and realizes
that hardy alfalfa is a prequisite.
The amount of seed that the bank
ers have made possible for us to pur-
chase will SOW about 1000 acres. 1t
is hard to estimate what the direct
results of this venture will be. The
Wenz brothers, near Bath, In three
years sold ~$l.4S2.45 worth of pork
from nine and five-eighths acres of
alfalfa. That alfalfa has proven a
success in Brown county is shown
by the wonderful increase in the
acreage during the past three wears.
Government statistics show there
were $50 acres in the county in 1910.
This acreage was increased in 1919
to 1880, as reported to the associa.
ton.
Superintendent Patterson strongly
advises against buying alfalfa seed
from Kansas or other southern
points, contending that only north
ern-grown seed should be sown. The
loan of the Aberdeen bankers to the
association will enable farmers of
northern South Dakota to SOW 1000
acres of ground to this guaranteed
northern grown seed, which will en-
able them to get a start in alfalfa
under the most favorable auspices.

been n resident of Sioux Falls since
September, 1912. He came to this
city from LeMars, Ia, wher his act
of heroism was performed in March
1912, a few months before taking up
his residence here. He came to Sioux
Falls to accept q position as book
keeper with the State Bank & Trust
company.
Mr.. Bray, who is about % years of
age, is a worthy, hard working
young man to whom the award of
$1,000 in cash will be very accept
able. He is a young man of the high
est character, and his close attention
to his duties has won him the esteem
of the heads of the banking concern
by which he is employed.
Citizens of LeMars placed the case
before the Carnegie commission,
which after a thorough investigation
of the case decided that Bray was
entitled to the award. Never since
coming to Sioux Falls had he even
mentioned to intimate friends his
act of heroism, and no one in Sioux
Falls was aware of the incident until
announcement was made a few days
ago that he had been granted the
medal and cash.
The act for which he was awarded
the medal and money occurred on
March 30, 1912, at LeMars. 1t was
during the period of high water in
the river at that place. Bray was
standing on the dam in the river
watching the turbulent waters with
other spectators when Louis Wagner,
a 15-year-old boy. who had been polk
ing at chunks of floating ice with a
long stick and talking to acquaint-
ances on the shore, lost his balance
and fell into he stream, which was
about 20 feet deep at that point.
Bray was standing with his back
toward the point when the boy fell
into the river, and was MOI aware of
the accident until Wagner's compan-
ions on the shore commenced to
shout. When Bray saw young Wag-
ner fighting for his life in the icy
wafer. with a strong current and
undertow indicted by the flood, he
plunged into the stream to the res
IL of the drowning boy. Bray had to
swim about $50 feet in the icy water
before he could reach and grasp the
boy.
Then with the utmost difficulty he
fought his way inch by inch against
the undertow with his burden to the
shore. Upon landing safely with the
boy Bray collapsed from his exert
ion and the shock of the icy water.
Although for MANY years an expert
swimmer. his experience in the res
II of the boy has given him a dread
of swimming in deem water.
He positively declines to give out
his picture for publication.

excuses are offered, but the members
of the team. on their return from
Huron this forenoon, declared they
were anxious to e the same team
again on a neutral field and with
other officials.
The feature of the struggle was
perhaps the number of times that
the members of the Mitchell team
were forced to take out time for in
juries. Five times in the first quarter
they We're forced to stop and were
penalized by Referee Claude Smith,
a former Wesleyan player, when they
had taken out time on more than
three occasions.
Huron won the toss on the outset
of the game and Mitchell kicked off.
In the teeth of a strong wind. By a
series of line plunges through the
right side of the line, Huron carried
the ball steadily down the field and
scored in the first quarter. In the
second period, the ball was in play
In the center of the field for most of
the time.
Mitchell held the advantage we'll
at the start of the third quarter.
With line plunges by Captain Nord-
bye and Reierson and end runs by
Vermillion, the spheroid was carried
down the field and over the line. The
ball went over on the fourth down.

running almost the entire length of
the field: In the most spectacular
play OF the game, he was caught and
tackled by Vermilyea on Mitchell's
one-yard line. Huron then carried the
pail over for a touchdown.
In the final period, Huron scored
again. Mitchell managed to work the
ball to Huron's four-yard line, where
Huron recovered a tumble and Brock
sprinted through n clear field for the
third and last touchdown. None of

In all parts of the state. and found
that 20 were not up to the standard.
The list covers flavoring extracts,
food coloring, canned goods, syrups,
drinks. flours and catsup. The chief
defects were the use of coal tar color

terest to note that nineteen "hot dog

eXemplitied at Sioux Falls, when the

animated by a determination to win,
piled up an impressive score against
Denver University. 1t was a victory
of school spirit.
This unity, welded in the fires OF
the disputes following the Miller in
