West Tenn. Wheat
Crop Looking Good.

S. F. Howard, Esq.,, of Number
Seven, was business visitor here
Monday. He informed us that the
wheat crop throughout his section
is looking very well indeed, and that
the acreage in Obion County is con-
siderably larger than last year.
Dyersburg, Tenn, April 19.-The
condition of the wheat crop in this
section is normal in spite of the I'M
favorable season of February and
March. The acreage for the county
has been increased over last year
more than 80 per cent.
In the Dyersburg section the in
crease has been so per cent. Some
districts in this immediate section
that have never planted wheat be-
fore have liberal acreage in. The
reduction in cotton acreage will be
about 20 per cent. More garden
seed has been sold by dealers in this
county than any two previous years.
Farmers are beginning to feel good
over the prospects of good season.
Ripley, Tenn, April 19.-From
best information the wheat crop in
Lauderdale County is looking fine.
The acreage is about five times more
than usual, caused by a disposition
on the part of farmers to diversity
and get away from cotton. None has
been plowed up for any other crop.
Brownsville, Tenn, April 49,
The wheat crop in Haywood County
is in an excellent condition. There
won't be any of the crop plowed up
and planted in cotton, as the farmers
of this county are determined to
raise plenty of everything to eat and
then plant cotton for the money
crop.
Dresden, Tenn, April 19.-The
wheat crop in this section is about
40 per cent increase over 1914 in
acreage. 1t has come out wonder
fully in the last few days and it is
now believed that an average yield
will be harvested from the present
crop. 1t is not believed that any of
it will be plowed up for the purpose
of planting cotton.

Not a Log House.

We are instructed by the Rives
correspondent to say that the first
schoolhouse in Riyes was not a log
house as reported, but a box house
made with lumber from one of the
early saw mills in the county. This
was not bad mistake for a news
paper. If we all got thru as light
as that the newspaper would be
more accurate than the best of the
historians. There are lots of mac
curacies in the histories.

Local High School
Football Prospects

Coach Van Cleave, of the local
High School, is putting his men
through strenuous practice this
week and states that he has the
making of one of the fastest
teams that has ever represented
Lennon High.
Quite a number of last years
men are out of the game this
year and it means that a lot Of
new material will have to be
worked into shape. but 80 far the
men that have tried for
positions on the team have shown
that with a few changes there
will be no team on the line that
will be given a hard battle for
honors. Several of the fast back
field men of last years team
have declared their intention of
enrolling later on and, if they
do with the material already in
training, Lennon will undoubt-
edly have a championship team.
The men VINO so far have
tried for positions are: A. Nick
ish, center; Larson, sub on last
years team, quarter; Peck, half
back; Curtis, full back; o Nick
ish. right halt; Hamilton and
Hoehn for the ends; Dunn and
Beckman show up strong as
tackles; and Cole and Olson for
the guard positions. Vetter and
Glazier are prospects of the
team that have not been on tho
field to work out.
Negotiations have been enter
ed into with various of the
teams of neighboring towns anc
it is very probable that a game
will be scheduled in short time

Com Palace
Draws Big Crowd

Wednesday and Thursday
witnessed an influx of visitors
to the Corn Palace in such num-
bers that the festival officials
soon forgot the gloom and cold
of the first part of the week.
Thursday was the banner day.
At both afternoon and evening
programs. the huge maize COW
cred building was thronged to
the walls.
Thursday was also the first
day of the week in which auto
mobiles from any distance were
able to break through the handi-
cap caused by the rains of few
days before. Many of the motor
cars which reached Mitchell
came from 40 to 80 miles. With
the country highways rapidly
whipped into shape, hundreds
of automobiles arrived for the
last day of the grain exposition.
The popularity attained last
year by Francesca Ferullo and
his Italian band was greatly aug
mented this year at the Corn
Palace. OF the dozen world
famous bands that have been
brought to the Corn Palace none
have received greater favor than
that of Signor FerulIo. Appear
ing at each concert were also
Miss Nina Hager. contralto solo
ist, and Miss Victorina Hayes,
soprano soloist. Miss Hager il
a former Mitchell girl. Both
singers scored instant successes.
! The Corr Palace interior was
a scene Of splendor Leading
in the several styles Of display
were the agricultural exhibits
from the following counties:
Minnehaha. Jerauld, Hand, Ly-
man and Dawson. The indian
agricultural displays were un-
usually worthy. Exhibit spaces
were taken by the Yaukton In
dian agency. tbs Cheyenne riv-
er agency and by the Pine Ridge
Indian school. A score Of educa-
tional and commercial exhibits
occupied the remainder Of the
booths on the two floors Of the
building.
The entire length Of Main
street was taken up by carnival
shows and by host Of small
concessions Of great variety.

Young Man browns
in Ry. Reservoir

News reached Mcintosh about
supper time Monday evening OF
the sad ending of Mr.. Everett
Irons, the only son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Sam Irons, living near Nor
ristown, who was drowned in the
railway reservoir about three
miles east of there. Everett and
his father were hunting ducks,
when one was shot that dropped
a short way from the shore on
the lake, and the unfortunate
young man stepped into the
water toget it. He evidently
struck very deep spot for he
fell out of sight, and never came
to the surface again.
The railroad pump man at the
water tank noticed the catas'
trophe, and hailed Sheriff RALPH
Hayward who happened to bt
passing nearby in his automobile
for assistance. Ralph then tele
phoned to Morristown from the
tank to send out hooks and every
aid possible, to drag the body
/ out. When Hayward pulled ou'
the young man there was no sleI
of life left. Everything tina
was possible was done for him
but of no avail.

Strawberries Are
Picked In October

The straw berry season has not
closed here III spite of the fact
that it is now nearing the middle
of October. ]. W. HcltzeIl, one
of Lemons s truck farmers,
gave the editor an opportunity
to sample fresh picked straw
berries raised within a mile Of
Lennon, the first Of the week
and to say that it was a treat
would be putting it mildly.
The berries were of the ever
bearing variety and Mr.. Heltzell
says that they are certainly
worthy Of the name, since he
has been picking berries from
the vines every day since early
summer. No special care has
been taken Of the vines and they
have not been covered to pro-
tect them from frost, but still
this would have been an unnsc-
essary precaution AS there has
been no killing frost here this
fall
Mr.. Heltzell also has a large
flower garden that is still in
bloom and the number and yari-
ETY. of the blossoms would indi-
cate that this section Of the
northwest is not only adapted
| to the raising of fruits but
| flowers q well.

Guard Pictures Shown Here
Saturday and Sunday Night

Saturday and Sunday evenings
the moving pictures of the
South Dakota National Guard
taken at its annual encampment
at Redfield during the month OF
July will be shown here at the
Star, this being the first time
pictures of this nature have ever
been taken of the state militia.
These pictures have been
shown at several cities and towns
in the state as we'll as in Mime
apolis, and the general verdict
wherever shown is that they sur
pass anything of their kind ever
taken of Q National Guard or
ganization or t her body OF
troops in action.
These pictures were made by
Edward F. Seavolt Of st. Paul,
member of the firm of Raths-Sea-
volt company, film manufactur-
ers. They were staged and the
scenarios arranged by Captain
Otto B. Linstad of Pierre, an old
hand at this game, and the re-
suits are not only exceedingly
clever and true to military camp
life, but interesting and highly
instructive as well.
1t is seldom that people have
an opportunity of with essIng
their own friends and neighbors
in action on the movie screen.
but this is what these pictures
afford. Members of Company
K as we'll as officials of t h
state and the officers of h
guard as a whole are thrown or

cognizable, making this the big
