Winner.-Friday evening, January

J. D. Brady and John Nelson, farmers
near Hamill, and stole 70 bushels of
choice grain. The sheriff was at once
notified and bioodhounds were brought
from Hamill and nut upon the trail
of the thieves, but 50 much time had
elapsed that the animals were unable
to follow the scent. Monday night
following some party or parties drove
into the hog yards of Dave Cunning
ham near Dallas, and, making a load
ing chute of some convenient boards.
loaded eleven fine hogs into their
wagon and disappeared. Efforts to
locate the hig thieves have been so
far unsuccessful, but recently Depu-

Clinton Butcher of Gregory, formerly
of Tyson's Crossing, Trip county,
charging him with the theft Of the
grain. which 1t is claimed he sold to

Plan for VebIen Extension.

Veblen.-A citizens committee, con-
sisting of residents Of the towns be-
tween Veblen ard Webster, and the
townships through which it is plan
ned to have the proposed extension
pass, has been organized for the pur-
pose Of securing pledges from farmers
for the extension of the Paramount
and Veblen railroad, a farmers
line" from Veblon to Webster. The
committee is meeting with much en-
enlargement in its work. The COM
mittee asks farmers along the pro-
posed extension to agree to give $780,
900 to help build the road, their notes
to be void if the extension is not in
operation by July, 1915. The Vebler
Commercial club gave a banquet In
honor of julius Rosholt, q promoter
of the Paramount and Veblen rail-
road, who is now engaged in trying to
extend the road to Webster. At the
banquet, at which j. B. Hoisey pre-
sided as toastmaster, toasts were re-
sponded to as follows: "The Man OF

Martha Jefferson as g wedding pres,

place was soon famous for lavish en-
tertaiaments and as a resort for dis
tinguished visitors.
Martha Jefferson died in 1886, her
eldest son, Thomas Jefferson Ran
dolph, inheriting Edgehill. He also
managed his g~randfather's farm, Mon
ticello. For a young farmer Che was
then twenty-one) it was a difficult un-
dertaking. He assumed the debts of
his grandfather, Thomas ]. Jefferson,
and after his death Monticello was Of
fered for sale. All this practically
ruined him financially, and later on,
after the losses of the Civil war, his
wife opened a private school for the
education Of her daughters and those
of her friends. This was the begin
ming of the famous Edgehill School for
Girls. Mary tombstone, who was one
of the students, often speaks of Edge
hill in her novel, Lewis Rand"
Edgehill still stands, after a lapse
of eighty years, in its majestic pride.
while so many OF the great and the
good and gifted who have graced it's
halls have passed away forever. At
present 1t is owned by Mr.. and Mrs.
Edmund Twohy, who have spared no
expense in preserving and restoring in
all of its pristine beauty the old home

BULLETS STOPPED BY PAPERS
War Correspondent Has Bible and
Wallet Which Saved His Life In
Russo-Turkish War.

To illustrate the bullet-resisting
powers of papers, a veteran war cor.
respondent brought for the inspection
of some of his journalistic colleagues
a pocketbook filled with photographs
and papers and a Bible, each Of which
on separate occasions had been instru-
mental in saving his life in the course
of the Russo-Turkish war.
In n instance he was knocked off
his horse by the impact OF a bullet
and became unconscious, only to find
or regaining his senses that the friend
ly wallet had prevented the bullet
entering his body. On the second DC
casion. at Plevna, the Bible, which he
had placed in a side pocket, DETECTED
a heavy piece Of shrapnel that threat
ened to end his existence.
He had kept the wallet intact as a
memento of his escape, and one OF the
journalists who was examining it's con
tents came, by a curious coincidence,
upon a letter which he himself had
indited to the war correspondent some
30 or 40 years ago., the very existence
Of which he had entirely forgotten.
In the letter he had expressed the
hope that his friend would return safe
and sound from the seat Of war. The
words safe and sound" had been al
most cut away by the bullet, which
but for the providential interpositior
of the bundle of papers, would prob
ably have ended the war correspond
ent's life.

Sioux Falls.-Action favoring the
establishment of government owned
grain warehouses, inspection by the
federal government of grain entering
INTO interstate commerce and urging
hat there be a federal investigation
If terminal grain markets, was taken
at a meeting of the executive conf
mittee of the Farmers Cooperative
Association of South Dakota, at a
meeting held in Sioux Falls. The
meeting of the executive committee
was held for the purpose of consider,
ing measures for benefit of the farm
srs Of the state.
Resolutions adopted at the meeting
declare that storage at grain centers
under private ownership and control,
as at present, is unsatisfactory and
subject to the evils of speculation and
manipulation, which, it is alleged, has
proven detrimental to the grain trade
from a public service standpoint, and
Is not conducive to lowering the high
cost of living.
1t is further urged that the federal
government, through proper legisla'
ton by congress, provide properly
| equipped elevators at the principal
grain centers for public storing and
elevating of grain at a minimum cost,
under the ownership and control OF
the federal government, according to
such rules and regulations as may
be prescribed by congress.
A supplementary resolution de-
clared in favor of federal inspection
and urges that a law be enacted by
congress providing for federal inspec'
ton, Standardization of grades and
weighing of grain entering into inter.
state commerce.
1t was decided by the executive
| committee to send a petition to the
| secretary of agriculture asking for an
official investigation by officials OF
the department of all terminal mar.
kets. 1t is charged that under the
present system competition Is stifled
and that consigned grain is used as a
foundation for ST eculative gambling
in futures, and that in general the
| entire grain trade is a private mantp'
ulation of values in the interests Of
The big combines.

Another point OF superiority about
this house is the arrangement of the

rent an arrangement better than this
for a woman who does her own work.
There Is, In addition, a good closet off
the dining room, to hold a hundred
things which a woman likes to have
neal by, but which are not always in
sight. The fine large dining room
window is a good place, for example,
for the sewing machine, but a woman
does not care to store a sewing ma
chine in the dining room. With the
arrangement here given, the machine
can easily be wheeled into the closet
and left there until wanted next time.
A built-in back porch that can easily
be screened against flies and mos
quitoes is another very good feature.
II is impossible to keep flies out of the
kitchen when they are gathered in
multitudes on the back porch. A

AUTO FUND TO REACH $40, go.
Money to Be Expended In improving
Public Hiuhways.

Cente-ville.-lt is expected that By
March the automobile fund of Tur-
ner county will reach about $4,000.
and this sum will be expended during
the coming summer in improving the
public highways of the county. Under
a new safe law the none is derived
from automobile licenses. Out of
each Sc automobile license fee paid
during 1914, the sum of s5.25 will re-
main in the county treasury. only 80
cents of each license fee going to the
state. On January l of this year the
automobile fund of the county had
reached ~S1,667.75, and on February 1
this had increased to S3,3S3.S7, so 1t
is safe TO estimate that the fund viii,

retained by the county for good road
