FINE MEETING
Held SUNDAY
A GREAT DEAL OF WORN WAS
DONE AT COMMITTEE MEETING
AND THE WORK FOR TWO BIG
EVENTS HAS STARTED IN Elk.
CELLENT SHAPE.

The two great committees of the
Fargo council, the auto and dance
committees are both very much pleased
at the result of the sessions that were
held on Sunday last, for the work was
started in good shape for both the auto
trip to Crookston, as well as the after
Easter dance of No. SIS which will take
place on Friday evening, March %,
In the Columbus hall. -
The different subcommittee that
were appointed all started the work
right off the reel and each and every
man was most enthusiastic. 1t is be-
lieved that there will be enough auto
mobiles secured for the trip to take all
who want to go. and the price of SO for
each man and 50 for each lady making
the trip is so reasonable that all will
likely want to go. This isn't a fee for
making the trip but it is for the neces-
sary expenses that will be incurred,
such as banners, decorations, machin-
lists, etc. And ii is hoped that every
one who makes the trip will take part
In the auto parade, so as to give Fargo
council S. the right kind of a standing
In the line. The road from here to
Crookston is one of the best in the en-
tire northwest. There isn't a bit of
bad roads and if the weather is at all
pleasant the trip will be one that will
be enjoyed by everybody.
The dance committee is also feeling
very jubilant over Its start off and
every member of the committee will
be hard at work at the right time. 1t
is hoped that every member of IS will
take a ticket and do his best to see
that his friend also takes one.

intended to prevent the raising of sham
or frivolous issues as to boundaries or
title to real property in justice court,

of the trial and failing to object to the
fact that plaintiffs pleadings were oral,

RIDIN, ON THE TRAIN.


A Teller sees some funny things while
ridin' on the train,
Some things he neve saw before, and
never may again,
Fer human natures at it's worst when
it's away from home.
You don't know any feller's traits
until he starts to roam.
There's always some fat gentleman
who shores an awful pile,
And sleeps all night with his sock feet
a-hangin. in the aisle.
The spinster with the hatbox sits quite
primly up in front.
She has a parrot who pulls off a shrill
nerve-racking stunt.
The gabby actress person shrieks her
troubles and her woes
And peeves the tired passengers who
vainly seek repose.
The usual train joker is on hand to
spring his CUFF,
And sometimes there's a punk quar-
tette thatFpulls some awful stuff
The brakeman throws the portal wide,
lets in the cold and snow,
And yells a lot of railroad Greek that
no one else could know.
The crying kid hits up his song in
tones ~bespeaking pain.
A Teller gets a dandy rest while ridin'
on the train. Anonymous.

Say, you,' interrupted the biscuit
shooter, I've only been here a week
and you left me behind with that
lingo at the first stop. What the
dickens do you want?"
The brakeman apologized for his
lack of courtesy and then he said:
Excuse me. Thought you were an
old head. Gimme a couple of pork
chops and some fried potatoes and
a nice side order of wheat cakes.
Then for the second course you can
bring me a. cup of black coffee and
some doughnuts. Fill up my lunch

stated in a voice that was filled with

other old timers who used to play
the game "away back east on the

SURGICAL Operation with Razor

Cottonwood.-By acting as an anna
teur surgeon and giving first aid to
the injured, Michael Huffman, resi-
dent of this place, played part in
saving the life of Amos Slack, young
boy, after the latter had been acct
dentally shot by his brother Joe. The
bullet lodged in the boys left Shout
der, entering the muscles, inflicting a
very painful wound. The only physi-
clan who makes his home here
CHANGED to be making a call in the
country, and in this emergency Huff
man volunteered his services. With
no better surgical instrument than a
razor he set to work to find the bullet,
which he finally succeeded in cutting
out and removing, treating the wound
with carbolic acid to prevent blood
poisoning. The boy stood the crude
surgical operation without murmer,
but his mother was over come and
tainted.

What is Going on Here and There
That is Of Interest to the Read
ers Throughout South Da-

Springfield.-Fire which broke out
here at 12:45 o'clock in the morning
threatened the entire business district
and caused loss of from $4,000 to
$4,000, part of which is covered by
insurance. The flames destroyed the
general merchandise store of ]. L.
Turner & Co., which has been estab-
lished since 1870, one of the pioneer
concerns of South Dakota It is
thought the fire was started by the ex-
plosion of gasoline stove in res
taurant. The Crockett restaurant
also was damaged to the ex-
tent of $1,000 to $1,000.
A well equipped fire company, aid
ed by heavy rain which started fall
ing shortly after the flames were dis
covered, saved the property of the
Fullerton Lumber company, whose
offices and yards are directly across
the street from the Turner store, and
and prevented a further spread of the
fire.
Within a short time the flames,
famed by a strong east wind, had
spread to the Holland Hardware COM
pany's store, which was practically
destroyed, entailing a loss estimated
at from $4,000 to $4,000, partly in
sured.

Flour Industry Hit.

Brookings.-One of the former big
industries of this state which has suf-
fered materially in the past five years
is the Touring mill business. Without
much notice these mills have been
gradually closing until there are but
few left. This is emphasized by the
announced retirement of George P.
Sexauer & Son of Brookings, who
have been recognized as one of the
leading -four mill firms in the state.
On May l they will cease grinding
-four. and will hereafter engage in the
feed business Mr SeXauer declares
that there is no money in -four grind
ing and that the small mills of the
state have been crowded out by the
big mills of the northwest, which are
able to get the better milling wheat
at a less cost in transportation
charges than can the small mills. At
one time the -four grinding business
of the state was one of the big indus
tries. Five years ago, Mr.. Sexauer
said. there were 1872 Touring mills in
the state. This number has been grad
ually reduced until now there are less
than twenty-five.
