Preparing for War

Already a company is being
organized in Summit to be in
readiness for the call to go to
the front TO fight the blood thirs-
ty Mexicans. Jimmy Barrett,
conductor on the work train, and
firm beliver in the policy of
the Stars and Stripes, is the
man behind the gun in this move.
He has at this writing secured
the names of the following, who
are anxious to get swat at the
blood-thirsty brigands:3 Vim.
Walsh, John Krum, Billy Davis
and Michael McCarty. There is
no question but what the COM
pany will be filled in very short
time. Summit citizens should
rally to the support of this
movement, for should the boys
be called to the front, no doubt
they will cover themselves with
glory, and can always be depend
ed upon to be where the bullets

Methodist Social :

Mrs. DR.. Taplin, Mrs. 3. M.
Judkins and Mrs. Rena McKeev-
er, all of the M. e. church of this
place, were hostesses at de-
lightful social gathering in the
commodius McKeever home,
last Friday night and a goodly
crowd of young and old spent a
very pleasant evening there. The
first game of the evening was a
prolonged ball game in which
Miss Nellie Oliver and Mrs. L..
s. Babcock proved. to be experts
as catcher and, pitcher. Follow
ing this game came flower
guessing contest. Rev. Shearer
and Olin Dunn then conducted a
race between the Whites and the
Pinks on blowing paper sacks
down wire lines. The Whites
won out as they were the longer
winded. The most intensely in
teresting game of the evening
was football game between
"Sisseton" and 'Milbank." Sis
seton" won, of course, but some
say it was due to piece of gum
+, that 'Milbank" lost the victory.
After the strenuous game all
were ready for the delicious re-
freshments served by the host
esses. A little while after the
clock struck eleven and the
guests departed to their homes
feeling it had been a most pleas
ant social occasion.

Dolar-a-day Cow
Animal Costing $500 Produces
2.8 Pounds of Butter
Pay for Itself Soon.

A COW that produces a dollars
worth of milk a day is the latest
acquisition that has been made
through the extension depart.
ment of the agricultural college.
according to A. D. Wilson, di-
rector of agricultural extension
work, who is back at his desk to-
day after visit to Pelican
Rapids, where he saw the won
derful animal. The COW was
obtained through the agricultural
agent at that point in a carload
of Holsteins purchased for the
farmers of Ottertail county, Mr..
Wilson said.
"The animal cost $780," said
Mr.. Wilson, but from the rate
at which she has been producing
milk it won't be long until she
pays for herself even at that
high price. She is producing
sixty pounds of 4 per cent milk
a day, which means she is yield
ing "a pounds of butterfat or
about 2.S pounds of butter They
are getting 33 cents a pound for
their butter, so at that rate the
butter alone sells for 93 cents.
Add to that the value of the milk,
and the animal is producing
more than a dollars worth of
milk and butter a day. Mime.

Mail Car on
Sisseton Line
Prospect Best Ever for Getting
This Service Back.

An effort is being made for a
renewal of the mail car service
between this city and Milbank,
which was enjoyed until the
Hitchcock administration of the
postal department, when for the
sake of so-called economy" the
service was discontinued. A
petition has been signed by the
commercial clubs and other
bodies at the towns interested,
asking the department at Wash
ington in the name of justice and
fair play to restore the mail
service enjoyed at that time,
which was a mail clerk on the
morning train, and if possible on
both trains. Seven similar lines
of road are cited to the postal
authorities as a precedent for
maintaining such service, in
most of which there are less
postoffices served than would be
the case were this request grant
ed.
A gentleman was here Monday
in the interest of this movement,
and he informed the Standard
that he considered the prospects
bright for the proposition to win
out.

Calumet Guarantees Baking Economy.

Have you ever stopped to think just
what economy" in baking really means?
Some folks seem to have the idea that
saving a little on the cost Of the mate
rials-the flour. eggs. etc.-is economy.
Others are of the opinion that they have
been economical when they buy the low
priced baking powder. and save 10c. to Csc.
But both are wrong. For the real econ
omy-the economy that counts-consists in
doing away with the failures that so
often waste far more than Is saved in
buying low-priced materials.
And that beyond doubt is the reason
that Calumet Baking Powder is the favor
ite of millions of cooks. It absolutely
prevents failures-and guarantees sue
cess-which in the end is the same thing
as economy.
Calumet Is unfailing-it makes every

The First Necessity is to

Healthy old age Is so absolutely de-

Is that as age advances the stomach

Some help can be obtained by eat
Ing easily digested foods and by
plenty OF exercise, but this latter is
