social affairs both in the town and the
adjacent country, print obituaries and

conditions, various improvements
made on the farms, road building,
give church and school news. and in
fact everything that concerns the
community life.
Yes, sir; we invite the cooperation
of one and all, to the end that the
Times may be filled brim full of real
live news.

George B. Martin is dead. lie
passed away suddenly at his home in
st. Louis, 1924 Romainc Place, about
midnight Thursday night. For a num-
Der of years he had been a sufferer,
at times, from form of stomach
trouble which involved his heart ac-
ton. Occasional shortness of breath
marked the disease. But for several
years, until quite recently, he had suf
Tered no protracted Inconvenience
from this trouble. A few weeks ago
however, the symptoms became more
alarming and he began rapidly to fail
in health. Grave reports were re-
ceived here. These were disipated
later with news that he was recover
ing. He gained Is pounds in wight,
his appetite was restored, and the
pains from which he had suffered al
most disappeared lie grew so nush
letter that he expected sCor to take
up his bu: mess duties again. On
the night Of his death he told Attor-
ney ]. F. Lindsay, a former Piedmont
who now lives neighbor to the Mar
tin family in St. Louis, that he ex-
pected to go to his mills in Reynolds
county after the Fourth Of July.
About 1915 Of that night one of Mr..
Martins daughters aroused Mr.. Lind
say and told him that her father was
dying. When Mr.. Lindsay arrived at
the home Mr. Martin was dead 1t
appears that Mr.. Martin had been
sitting at table reading a bible.
The fatal attack came on him and
he endeavorcd to reach his wife's bed
room and got there just in time to fall
into her arms gasping for breath.
The body was taken to Caledonia and
interred.-Piedmont Banner.

The canning demonstrations given
by Miss Bell of the State Board of
Agriculture were n big success. taken
as a whole. In most places the la
dies showed keen interest in the work
and swampcd Miss Bell with qestions.
Many ladies in the rural districts
have called up or otherwise express
ed their appreciation Of this work
and requested that the demonstra-
tons on "conveniences for the home,
poultry husbandry" and others be
given here this fall. 1t is gratifying
to know that a community apprcci-

MARKET REPORT

The lamb trade was very active ana
strong to-day, though the quality Of
the offerings were considered 10 to f.
CENTS better than Z ,rday. City
butchers paid $9.25 while the packer
top was Sg.15. Bulk of the gout
lambs brought SS.SI TO $40; fair Il.
good SIS to $3.50 with culls to fair
kinds at Sc to S775. Packers are
sorting very moderate. sheep steady
with the light end at Sl.7j ana
the heavy sort at 81. Stool, sheep
brought SI25 and Gamers and chop
per sheep $3.50 toSi. Choice, black
face breeding ewes So Bucks $3.50.
We advise shipping Of lambs that
are ready for market.
Current hog receipts much lighter
owing to more favorable weather
conditions and another advance in
prices is recorded To-day's trade
was active and &c higher than yeSter-
day. with n top of $50.
Cattle receipts also lighter, result
ing in 10 to 25c advance compared
with last weeks close on everything
except stockers and feeders. The
rains have not yet been sufficient to
restore conditions to anything like
normal and the demand for that class
is slack. We believe this will be
changed soon and look for an advance
on all kinds Of stock cattle.
We feel bulish on the outlook for
good cattle and hogs and we pre- dict
an advance of SOC 10 $1.OO per cwt.
on that kind in the next GO days.

Whenever some man starts in to
express an adverse opinion on the ac-
complishments of the Democratic ad-
ministration at Washington, put these
questions to him; What has Mr..
Wilson done that either Mr.. Roosevelt
or Mr.. Taft, had either of them been
chosen at the 1912 election, would
have done better? What has Mr..
Wilson done that either political par
ty in opposition to him would undo if
they were placed in power? What
has he not done that either of these
would be likely to do if either was
given the power? Don't accept gen
eralities and sweeping condemnation
for an answer pin him down to speci-
flc statements. You will find how lit
tie of fact and how much Of CUFF there
is about this criticism heard.-The

bers OF the agronomy department viii
give special lectures on crop produc.
ton, seeds and varieties of grain that
may be grown on South Dakota farms

a great number Of years, The class

demonstrations on soil fertility and
the soil problems OF South Dakota,
soil water, depth OF blowing, conserva-
ton OF soil water, and other related
practical subjects. Opportunity will

laboratories In the department.
The problems of soils and crops
are not simple, and the proper use of
soil by any farmer who raises crops
is no mere matter Of blowing and SOW
Ing seed and rssping-and letting ii
go at that. South Dakota farmers
know better than that, and many Of
them are constantly writing for in
formation on how to handle their soil
problems.

Must Pay for the Paper

Judge George Thomas, Of Colum

gram had been sent to the mans
home and he had accepted the
paper. When called upon to pay
for it he refused and suit was

Telegram. Judge Thomas ruled
