About the County
BRUCE

From the Herald.
One of the prettiest home weddings
that has been our lot to witness for a
long time occurred in the parlor of the
home of w. w. Levitt last Thursday
at II o'clock when Miss May Levitt
and Mr.. Fred Taken were united in
marriage by Rev. o. M. Freeman of
this city. The bride is the oldest
daughter of w. w. Levitt, n of
Brookings county's most prosperous
farmers. She is "a young of
great beauty and personal charm and
looked very pretty in a beautiful cream
silk. The groom Fred Taken, is a
young agriculturalist of clean and in
dustrious habits and is preparing a
nice new home for the lady Of his
choice. After the wedding ceremony
an elegant dinner was served to the
guests in the dining room. Mrs. Taken
cut the brides cake. And all united
in enjoying it.

interests of the city. Any young man
working for a salary or wages ought
to make it a point to ave a little
money every month by denying him
self of some useless luxury or ex-
p~ensive habit and be ready to start in
a business of his own. Hard times or
the loss Of a job may mean the bread
line to many of Jul present day spend
thrifts.
1t is pleasant to have sunshine and
seasonable weather but we should not
be too anxious to see it turn off warm
and force vegetation along too fast.
1t was only a few years ago when
April leaves and fruit blossoms were
killed by a hard freeze and the season
set back more than a month.

a boas is just what nature furnishes
the beasts of the fields and the fowls
or the air and these have to rustic for
such a living as they get. Nature pro-
vides wild fruits and vegetables, fish
and owls at first hand, and f%ur-bearing
animals which a man can live upon if
he so desires and clothe himself with
and that is the only kind of a living
that a man can claim for himself as a
right. What others produce or make
does not of right belong to the loafer
or the non-producer and the fellow that
i Is back upon such an excuse for 4ot
working and earning 4 living If he has
an opportunity is not deserving of at.
tention or sympathy.

A glance up and down the two sides
of Main street and some Of the side
streets reveals a few prominent facts
every young man who reads this col
umn ought to observe and derive some
valuable lessons from. A census of
the active business men in this part of
the city will show that not a pro-
prietor of any prominent line of bust
ness is a cigarette smoker and scarce
ly a man who is running a business of
his own is the patronizer of a pool
hall, to any extent. Some may loiter
in the latter occasionally in dull times
but the chief patronizers of certain
places of recreation are the ones who
are working for wages and who de-
pend upon others for their jobs. The
men who are conducting the different
lines of business in the city, mer-
chants, bankers and professional men,
in a few years, %relinquish their places
to others and the wonder is whether
Ia young men with ~extravagant
tastes and habits will take the places
of the older men and keep up such
habits or will others from the out
side come in and possess the business

FROM
Pasadena, Cal.

Cal.
Register:
In the golden month of October,
When the Orchards in glory were
dressed;
We reached Fair Pasadena,
The crown city of the West.
The mountains were beaming a well
come,
The flowers with beauty were
bright;
1t seemed as if the Garden of Eden,
Had suddenly dawned on our sight.
The birds their melodies singing,
From every green leafy tree;
The clouds were peacefully sailing
From the mountain tops Ger the sea.
We thought as we gazed on the ocean,
With its broad and billowy breast
What a blessing after years of toiling
To enter this haven of rest.
Then we thought of the friends in
Dakota,
OF those we may see nevermore:
B t we trust when life's journey is
ended,
To meet on a still brighter shore.
Mrs. f. Wilson.

w. H. Spaulding, general represen-
tative of the Union Savings Associa-
ton Of Sioux Falls, spent a little over
a week in White selling stock in this
institution which, so far as we are
familiar with their plans, is operated
along the same plans as a building
and loan association. During the
seven days, Mr.. Swadling was here, he
secured twenty members who subscrib-
ed for an aggregate of n hundred and
ninty-fve shares of stock with a ma
turity value of nineteen thousand, five
hundred dollars. Monday night, Mr..
Swadling called a meeting of the stock
holders and organized them into a
local branch.

From the Pioneer:
Tuesdays election was what might
be called a tame affair. In most cases
voters cast their ballots and visit along
their way. 124 ballots were cast, 4S
for license and II against license. The
caucus ticket went in by a substantial
lead and after April first the council
will consist of DR.. ]. G. Jensen as pres
ident; E. c. Scharfe, c. o. Hanson and
e. C. Johnson trustees, and Theo.
Dixon, clerk. Lincoln county is prac-
ticaIly a dry county, the only oasis
being Ivanhoe but a county option vote
will put that place in danger.
At Tuesdays election Lake Benton
went dry by IS; at Tyler the vote was
a tie and the town remains dry; Arco
dry. Minneota went dry by the oyer-
whelming majority of Sc. That place
has been wet for over fifteen years,
without a vote on the question until
last year.

Old Motor Cars
Used in Farm Work

Varied and almost unlimited uses

more especially of automobiles that

ventence and source of much profit
TO the farmer. and will in the future
become positive necessity on farms
where the use of heavy machinery
and tractors is impractica BILE. says a
prominent Mitchell dealer in San Fran
cisco.
This is amply proven by the Won
derful performance of a Mitchell
go on the forty-acre ranch of A. b.
! Hunter, of Agnew Cal.
This Mitchell car was built in 1909
and was run over $4,000 miles in the
rent service before being used for farm
purposes.
Its first performance was pumping
for irrigation, where it delivered 500
gallons per minute for seven consecu-
tive days and nights without stopping
/ the engine, thoroughly irrigatins
twenty acres of alfalfa. This was done
at cost of approximately $40 for
each twenty-four hours, fifteen gal
Ions of gasoline and one and half
gallons of oil being used in this time.
/ Later in the season this same ma
chine was used for plowiug. harrow
| ing, cutting and hauling alfalfa and
also for cultivating fruit trees and all
other jobs usually performed by
| horses.
The only cost OF changing the ma
chine for the above work is the put
ting on of tractor tires. six inches
wide, with grips six inches apart.
These can be changed back to pneu-
matte tires and vice versa in about
thirty minutes time. About four acres
can be plowed per day at q nominal
cost.

GOVERNOR WORKS
LATE ON MEASURES
Vetoes the Philadelphia Housing
Bill at IL O'clock at Night
and Signs Others

Governor Brumbaugh vetoed the bin
to reorganiZe the Philadelphia city
bureau of housing last night with the
suggestion that the Blankenburg ad-
ministration and the city councils get
together, compose their differences and
agree upon either a new bill or one
that will amend the act of 1913 so
much complained of. The Governor
did not announce his action until after
IL o'clock last night and the wires
were kept hot by Philadelphia people
asking what he had done about it. In
some respects the veto message was
unusual because ii said that it was the
duty of the Philadelphians to stop
their controversy.
Governor Brumbaugh approved the
Joint resolution for q commission of
three To be appointed to investigate
the advisability of purchasing prop
critics adjacent to Independence Hall
so that it may be protected from fire
hazard. The commission is to be COM
posed of a senator, a representative
and a citizen and is to ascertain the
assessed value of the. realty and report
to the Legislature.
The Governor vetoed the bill to
make refund to Henry S. Reichard,
of South Bethlehem. for money erro-
neously paid into the State Treasury,
stating that the bill is "carelessly
drawn"
The joint resolution for publication
of 100, 600 copies of the game, fish
and forestry laws was approved, to-
gether with these bills:
Senate bill providing that the Su-
preme and Superior Courts shall be
provided with supplies as are other
branches of the state government.
House bill providing for immediate
printing and distribution of advance
sheets of laws as they are enacted TO

Dodge Brothers Turn
Down $1,OOO,OOO Order


A cabled offer of an order for over
$1,000, goo worth of motor cars has
been received and turned down by
Dodge Brothers, the big Detroit motor
car manufacturers, during the past
week, according to an officail of the
company. The order came from an
agent of the Russian government sta
toned at Stockholm. Sweden, and was
for imm ediate delivery of cars.
Every car that Dodge Brothers can
turn out during the coming season has
been contracted for by dealers in this
country" says George c. Hubbs. as
sistant general sales manager. Nat
urally we intend to satisfy the Ameri-
can market before filling foreign or
ders and are shipping our cars as fast
Is completed to all quarters of the
United States. 4 remarkable fact con-
nected with the marketing of the new
car is that although we have already
shipped thousands of machines, prac-
tically none of our dealers report a
single car in stock.
"Since the manufacture, of motor
cars was commenced last fall the force
of Dodge Brothers employees has been
increased from 5000 to over $500.
Practically all manufacturing depart
ments are working on day and night
shifts to fill orders"
Booming prices in cotton, with cor
responding advance i'm the sale of mo-
tor cars. is reported by j. II. Gordon.
southern district representative for
Dodge Brothers, on a visit to the De-
troit factory. automobile companies
who aided the southern growers by
buying bales of cotton at TO censt per
pound now stand in a fair way to sell
their purchases at a profit" says Mr..
Gordon. Cotton prices have been
steadily advancing for the past few
weeks, and shipments abroad have
been large and numerous. Russia and
England are taking the bulk of the
cotton shipments and vast quantity
is also being sent TO China Advices
from India are to the effect that the
big Indian cotton crops are below nor
NAL this year. and this ought to work
to the advantage of the American cot
ton grower. Automobiles are selling
fast right now and some of the Dodge
Brothers dealers in the South are even
selling the standard 56-inch tread
cars in place of the wider tread usually
demanded by southern motorists
COAST-TO-COAST RELAY
If the 1915 convention of the Fed

have the contestants relay a message

mandant at the Preside In San Fran
