A STITCH IN TIME SAVES 9

When the siren on the round

everybody in hearing knows the
fire tiend is aboard. and as the
4th OF July again approaches, the
anxiety OF the small boys as we'll

fireworks becomes apparent.

were quietly seated at their noon

work with push graders

The object in working over the
road Selby first instead Of tackline
the bad stretch ACROSS the school
section between Mobridge and
Glenham first, is because the com
missiOners think that that section
of the road can be put in good
shape for about 5000 per mile
and the difference between that
amount and the amount set aside
for the Yellowstone Trial, ($4 ,O00)
can be used on the lOugher parts OF
the Trail.
1t will be recalled that ~ ,OOC
was set aside over year ago fOl
the building of the Trail across the
county, of course, that was after
deducting the amount OF miles the
different towns along the Trail
promised to build. This money is
now available and is to be used up
under the supervision Of II. L.
GutZ Of Selby who was asked at
the special meeting in Sebly last
May to take charge of the Trail and
see that the road was put in good
shape and that the money was
properly expended.
The news that the Trail from
here to Selby is to be put in good
shape this summer is welcome news
to the merchants of MObridge as
they have been rldiculed time and
again by tourists who have been
induced to use the Trail by the
publicity given it and have been
handicapped in IA business way
time and again and also the far
merS of the northern AMI western
pats OF the county who could not
haul any kind Of a load either to or
from tcwn.
If the commissioners will see to
1t that this work is crowded
this summer they can rest assured
that theerwill always he a warm
spot in the hearts of the people Of
MobridSe and the farmers in the
country tributary to Mobridge for
them
The com mlSione.s went to LeBeau
from here and did not finish the
inspection of the road in the two
districts until Wednesday night.

PIONEER VISITS MOBR|DGE

A. f. Burkholdt u prominent
farmer of near Selby was in the
city Wednesday making prepare.
tions to join the graders who are
grading the Yellowstone Trail from
Mobridge to Selby
Burkholdt is an old timer in this
county and his addition to the
working force on the grading out
fit will undoubtedly be very well
come as the work now going on on
the Yellowstone Trail is remark
able episode in the history Of the
country and as Burk hOldt is a very
archive of early history on the
pioneer days and pioneer days up
building, he is sure to add zest to
The work that will be pushed
through to a successful conclusion
as he can recognize a history max
ing epoch.
BurkhOldt has a unique relic Of
the old days in his possession in
the form Of one of the army trans
portation four horse coaches that
was used for the purpose Of
transpOrtating officers across the
river from Fort Sulley in Potter
county to the Cheyenne Agency
on the Cheyenne reservation, in
the early days before the county
was organized
The coach in question carried the
bride of lieutenant who was To-
Gated at Cheyenne Agency, in the
early spring of 1881 or 1882,
across the river and when nearly
across broke through the ice and
was drowned before she had the
pleasure Of meeting her husband
whom she had married but a short
while before in the east.
Later on in the season the coach
was recovered and the remains Of
the youny bride was shipped back
east to the home of the parents;
the coach later on passing into the
possession of Rurkholdt who values
it very highly and would not part
with it for any consideration as it
is a constant reminder of the days
when this country was new and

ANOTHER RARE TREAT
At SUNDAYS GAME

Another rare treat in base ball
was enjoyed Sunday afternoon
when the local boys defeated the
fast Ipswich aggregation of ball
players IN an air tight game; not
one score was made by either team
until the last half of the ninth
when Mobridge scored.
The batteries in both teams did
excellent work. Burkhardt per.
mitted only one hit while the local
boys hit Eldred for two two bag
ger and two singles, but Eldred
walked only one man against
Burkhardt' 5 three and struck out
twelve against Burkhardts five;
both men pitched a fine game and
had the finest kind of support,
Burkhardt winning his game.
Enstroms fielding was a great
feature, every ball that came his
way, stuck fast to his init; Gilmore
fielding was also we'll received and
his two base bit in the eight inning
fairly raised the grand stand
foot.
Engler, Ipswich's first base man,
in the sixth inning, grounded to
shor t. .Hardt in going to 3r inter
fered with the ball between second
and third and was called out by
Burns.
Credit for the excellent showing
of the Ipswish team in the two
games here should be given to it's
battery. Tollefson is clever cat
cher and good man with the
stick. AS for Eldred, he is with
ont doubt the headiest pitcher that
has been in Mobridge with visit
ing team for several seasons. His
work is superior to that seen in
many minor leagues and he is
master Of the fine points that make
a superior slabman.
The score was as follows:

DRAMA LEAGUE ISSUES
 LETTER TO CLUBS

The following letter has been received by the various study clubs of the city:
 '"rhe Birmingham center of the Drama League of America urges you to consider the modern drama or some phase of it as your subject of study for 1915-16. Re- gardless of what your subjects have been in the past, we believe you will find in this suggested subject more of interest than you will find in almost anything else. You are aware of course, that the modern drama will lead you into nearly all branches of social science, and that a study of the drama is therefore good combination of the practical and cul- tural.
 Some suggested outlines are available at the Public library now, and an outline prepared for women's clubs by the educa- tional committee of the Drama. League of America will be on hand in day or two.
 ''The officers and members of the edu- cational committee of the Birmingham center will give as much help as they can, and the public library will be as liberal as possible in the purchase of plays and books about plays for club use.
 Incidentally, we hope each member of your club will join our organization-A a year. Yours very truly, Mrs. B. F. Will kerson. president; Mrs. T. o. Smith, sec retary; MT. c. c. Certain, chairman edu- cational committee

In the Flor ida formula the bananas were not cut, but left whole after the skins were re- moved.

You tell us often that the Corner is enriched by clippings from the cook books of members. I am pleasing my self by sending in two veritable clip pings. cut them from newspapers and copied them under the head of soups in my book, saving the originals for somebody who might want them.
 Cream of Chicken Soup-Three pints of chicken broth, one tablespoon of but ter, one tablespoonful of arrowroot a little cold milk, salt and pepper, one cup of hot milk or cream, one egg yolk beaten. Add the butter and arrowroot smoothly mixed with cold milk, to the chicken stock. Heat gradually that it may not curdle. Season with a little pepper, salt and minced parsley; add the hot cream and the egg yolk slowly Serve at once
 Vegetable Soup--Break one pound of stale bread into bits, add to it three large onions sliced, a small cabbage cut fine, carrot, a turnip, a head of celery or stalks that were left over. a tapiespoon of salt, half teaspoon of pepper, half clove of garlic and a dish of marjoram and thyme, a bayleaf and a teaspoon of minced parsley. Put these ingredients in d. pot with three quarts Of weak stock Qiquor in which mutton was boiled will do) and boil for two hours or less. Rub through a sieve and add pint Of new milk.
