Wrestling Bout ira Church.

Ft. Pierre.-Considerable of a dis
turbance was created here when the
discovery was made that a wrestling
bout had been pulled off, in the
chapel of the congregational church.
The chapel was recently equipped
with gymnasium apparatus, and some
young fellows arranged for a wrest-
ling match between two young wrest-
lers named klemann and Davis, which
was won by Klemann. Church mem
bers protested against the match be-
ing held but their wishes were disre-
garded, and as a consequence the gym
nasium has been closed by the church
authorities, who hold that while a
gymnasium put to proper use is all
right in a church building, it is not
the proper place in which to hold
sporting events.

MAKING BEST USE OF NUTS
They May Be Employed In innumer
able Ways, and Are Nutritious
and Appetizing.

Nuts add attractiveness and nutri-
ton to many a plain dish. They are
especially valuable for the school
luncheon basket. as they make tempt
ing sandwich filings when combined
with chopped celery, olives, fresh and
dried fruits. They give the same
nutrition as does meat. They give
the needed touch to a pudding, des.
sert, cake filing or salad. Consequent
ly we are including the toothsome nut
meats more plentifully in the various
cooked dishes.
Buy nuts in the shell whenever pos
sible, as it Is a much safer plan, but
if you are obliged to get nuts that
are shelled subject them to the fol.
lowing treatment to free them from
any germs that may be lurking round
them. Place them in a colander and
pour boiling water over them very
quickly, and at n immerse in very
cold water, then drain and wipe dry in
a folded napkin. This does not af-
feet the oils and %crispness Of the nut
meats if it is done quickly.
Choose almonds with thick shells,
as they have the richest and sweetest
meats. To blanch them, pour boiling
water over them, urn them upon a
clean towel and rub the brown skins
from them. To extract pecans whole
from the shells, pour boiling water
over them and let them stand until
cold. Crack them at the small ends.
The kernels of English walnuts that
are a trile rancid for use can be
sweetened if boiling water containing
a pinch Of soda is poured over them.
Rinse in cold water and dry in the
sun.

richest soil for the production OF can
ming product and arrangements are be-
ing made to put this bottom land into
tomatoes, sweet corn, beans and 9TH

factory and the work of construction
OF the plant will begin at once. The
canning company Will be known as

Mobridge Commercial club is work
ing for the establishment of a ferry

ed TO find a suitable landing place on
both sides the river, and when this is
done an effort will be made to induce
the location of a ferry here. The fer

better slogan could we have for a
progressive community spirit? Ev-
erybody wants to she this town pros
per, and we all want to share in
the fruits of that prosperity. Even
the fellow who habitually sends out
of town for his own goods wants
his full quota of riches that are
accumulated through the thrift and
husbandry of his fellow citizens.
Producing and selling the surplus
abroad and then keeping our money
at home by buying from home deal
ers will add many thousands Of
dollars to the money in circulation
in this community. It is the sure
way Of meeting prosperity with
open arms and gathering in our
share and a little more for good
luck. Let other communities sup
port themselves. Our interests and
our duty are at home Let's keep
prosperity in this town.

There is no longer any doubt of
the return OF prosperity. Our old
friend is with rs again. He is not
here in great chunks, with bags
full of shimmering gold, and auto
mobiles for everybody, but the old
boy has brought a steady increase
in the volume of business, and a
relaxation in the money markets,
and a renewed confidence in bust
ness circles and in the agricultural
districts.
Men of all classes are loosening
their purse strings, money is on a
hunt for investment, employers are
taking on more men, and the wheels
Of industry are humming at more
rapid rate than for many months
past.
Merchants report increased sales
and easier collections, buyers are
selecting better and more expensive
articles, and spirit of relief and
confidence is in evidence every
where.
There are bright spots ahead for
the future. Let's all steer for them
and keep head and eyes TO the front.

WHAT IS A BOOSTER?

A short time ago l met in small

real booster, and | doubt if in the
entire city of River Falls there can
be found fifty people equally as 10y
al as that old man. Before making
out my list l would like to ask:
lis a booster man or woman
who thinks nothing good enough in
our stores, so buys in the Twin Cit
les?
lis it one who deals with cata-
logue houses?
SIS it one who enthusiastically
talks for every improvement, but
when asked to help says, Why
don't the City do it? The Council
ought to do it. The City has plenty
of money, let them do it"
As it one who continually finds
fault with the management of our
only big industry, the Normal
School?
SIS it one who critlcizes our
young people because they are
Young, and abuses his neighbors SO
that strangers get the idea we are
a bad lot to live among?
What is booster anyway?
