Livestock Interests Impressed With
Necessity Of Having Facilities
For Annual Sales.

The first sale by the Codington
County Livestock Breeders associa.
tion may be said to have been sue
cess, from one standpoint-that of
having a. sale.
But since it was the first sale of the
kind it was not expected that the
prices would range very high. How
ever, even though it was the first
event of the kind, it was noticeable
that some Of the animals offered
good, pedigreed, fine looking animals
went for less than they would have
brought on the butchers block.
Need OF as Home"
While the Mclaughlin barn is one
of the largest in the northern part OF
the state, the first sale, small affair
that it was, showed that if such an
nual events are to be the success that
the livestock interests Of the county
ought to expect and must have, some
permanent home must be provided
"a place where animals may not only
be offered for sale, and sold, but
where opportunities are afforded for
displaying stock generally to advan-
tage.

swine offered were the Durocs, rang
ing from a few months of age to two
years. Some of the best blooded

JAMES wHITTET BREAKS ARM
Hits Wrist On Lever of Harvester And
Badly Fractures Bone; Break
Undiscovered All Day

James Whittet sustained a fracture
of one of the bones in his lower right
forearm last Saturday while at work
cutting grain.
Mr.. Whittet was driving the binder
and one of the reins became caught
beneath the whiffle-tree. In trying to
disentangle it, Mr.. Whittet hit his
arm on one of the levers of the ma
chine with great force.
Thinking he had only bruised the
arm Mr.. Whittet continued work and
worked until night, although the pain
increased steadily. In the evening
it was discovered that the arm was
badly discolored nearly to the shoulder
and physician was consulted who
pronounced the bone to be broken. The
fracture received surgical care and is
mending nicely.
