amount which should be deducted
from the above figures for cream
bot at German. Figuring it down
to days, there was an average of
1852 day put into circulation in
Gettysburg during the month of
May from the receipts for cream
sales alone.
ssFour years ago there was not
a cream station in town and only
one or two cans week were shipt
direct. A creamery man who was
in the city on the 3oth day of April
1910 looking over the field with a
view to establishing a buying sta
tion, left without doing any busi-
ness, because there was not enuf
cream in the country to make it
worth while. The difference in
cream shipments now and four
years ago is eloquent of the
changed methods of farming,
which may mean much to the fu-
ture prosperity of the county,"

PROPOSED AMENDMENT (l9th)
CHANGE IN FARMING METHODS.

The following article from the
Gettysburg News Courier explains
one reason why our farmers did
not need any seed grain at the
hands of our county commission
ers this year, and hardly needs
any further comment.
We fear, however, that there
are many farmers who will pitch
headlong into the cream business,
as they did in the wheat business,
to the neglect of general mixed
farming and the conservation of
moisture and the soil. We only
need to add the suggestion, at this
time, that with the assurance of
profitable income from their
cream, our farmers should now
branch out into other new lines,
-blackberris and raspberries, for
instance-and give some attention
to the greater resources of the
state which can only be developed
successfully thru a cooperative
spirit. such as the harnessing of the
Missouri river for the development
of electricity. This is a question
which we hope the people of South
Dakota will not go to sleep over
while Uncle Sam or some other
rich eastern corporation makes
way with the franchise for it free
of cost.
The News-C Courier says:
ION Monday of this week (June
15th) there were "A ten gallon cans
of cream shipt from Gettysburg.
This means 440 gallons of cream.
all of which had been hrot in to
the buyers since train time the
previous Saturday. At an aver.
age price ofE$8 can, the total
value of the one days shipment
was 1852.
"The statement of Mondays
cream shipment coming to the
writer's knowledge led to inquiries
at the bank as to the total amount
of cream checks paid during the
month of May. The two banks
cashed cream checks during May
to the amount Of $3953.87 for
cream bot by local buyers in Get
tysburg and German. In addition
to the cream sold to the local buy
ers there are four or FIVE firms
which are buying cream direct
from the producers, which is shipt
direct without the intervention Of
any.loeal buyer. The amount sold
in this way will about Offset the

The following from the Onida
Watchman shows that our county
seat neighbor is alive on the sub
ject of good roads, and we would
like to recommend-and prescribe
its enthusiasm to home people,
particularly those of Forest City;
for among all the reasons that
have been given for the backward
ness of this bailiwick, we think
there is none greater than the
world of meaning described by the
word Isolation" Apathy and
lack of interest is not sufficient
reason for the death and burial of
our townsite company; the fizzling
out of the little ''jerkwater" stub
end line of our railroad was what
scared our townsite company to
death, even more than droutb,
hard times and the adamant wall
of the Cheyenne River reservation
and ever since the isolation caus-
ed by our Missouri river bluffs and
gullies has caused capitalists and
tourists to avoid us-till the Cross
State Highway folks, led by our
good friend Hon. E. G.. Issenhuth.
saw the advantages of our ferry
system.
''The great preparations made
by our enthusiastic citizens for the
observation of Good Roads Day on
Friday last were considerably dam
pened by the heavy rain which fell
during the night. However, it was
decided not to give the good work
up and it was postponed to yester-
day (Wed.). The banks all closed
and all who could get away went
out and put in the day. Several

Mr.. Christian o. Hexom, one of
Winneshiek county's pioneers, passed
away last Friday at the home of his
son julius in Madison, S. d., at tie
advanced age of Sc years. The de-
ceased was native of Norway, born
there in August 1928, and came to
this country in 1858, locating in
Wisconsin. The following year he
came to Winneshiek county, and af-
ter a years residence here moved
to Houston county, Minnesota, re-
turning to Winneshiek county in
1856. Here he entered $50 acres of
land, which he cleared, improved and
operated until 1887, when he sold
out to good advantage and remov-
ed to Lake county, South DaEtta,
and purchased land near Madison.
Afterwards he sold this property
and for a number of years lived a
retired life with his sons. The wife
and mother rassed away in Febru-
airy, 1899, in Lake county, South Da-
kota.
They raised a family of fine child

county farmers are awake to the
fact that the additional require

plated by the law which goes into
effect in 1915 will sound the doom

districts are being formed every
week. This week the seventh dis
trict of that kind was adopted in
Lincoln and Lee townships, and on
Friday of next week the voters will

ing circulated for an additional dis
trict north of Alta, and still anoth-

BROUGHT HERE FOR BURIAL.
Mrs. Anna n. McDaniels, Former
Deoorah Resident, Dies at Her
Home i'm Oshkosh, Wis.

The remains of Mrs. Anna n. Me-
Daniels, who was formerly Miss
Anna Nordheim of DEBORAH was
brought here for burial last Friday
the services taking place at the Big
Canoe church, Rev. Vein, Of Gale
donia, officiating. The remains were
accompanied here by the bereaved
husband and son, and his sister,
Miss Ella McDaniels The following
from an Oshkosh paper gives full
particulars of the illness and life of
this beloved lady:
Mrs. Anna N. McDaniels, wife
of w. D. McDaniels, proprietor and
manager of the Oshkosh-Williams
Business college, and until last
October teacher Of stenography and
typewriting in that school, died at
1880 o'clock this morning at her
home, 7S9 Jackson street. Death
was caused by tuberculosis, which
made itself manifest last fall, but
the end came suddenly and unex-
rectedly as the condition of Mrs.
McDaniels had appeared to be about
as good as usual, and the last sci
zure lasted less than half an hour.
Mrs McDaniels, before her mar
riage, was Miss Anna Nordheim. She
was born at DEBORAH, Ia, March 3,
1880, and was therefore thirty-four
years of age. She came to Oshkosh
eleven years ago, from Cedar Rap
idsl (Ia.) Business college, where
she had been teaching and took
position with the Williams Business
college. Mr.. McDanieIs came the
next year and when he bought out
the Oshkosh Business college from
w. w. Daggett, she went with him
as teacher. They were married
December "a, 1907, and have one
son, Wilbur, aged five years.
Mrs. McDaniels was recognized
rs a capable and efficient instructor
Her zeal and interest in her work
exceeded her physical strength and
! remark made by her a short time
ago is an index of her character. SheI
said: Well if I do have to go RI
think I will not have lived in vain
have helped thousand young
people to prepare themselves toI
earn a living" After Mrs. McDan-
lels was stricken with the disease
which ended her life she went to a !
sanatorium, where she remained
from December until the last of
February but the disease had taken
too firm a hold upon her and she
came back to go to her Last rest in
her own home.
The funeral will be held Thurs
day morning. Prayers for the family
will be said at the house at 1900
o'clock and the service will be held
at the Presbyterian chapel on Bent
avenue at 1920 O'Clock. The re-
mains will be taken to DEBORAH, Ia,
for interment. The sessions at the
business college have been suspend
