THE WRONG MAN ACCUSED.

A New York City dispatch tells Of
an unknown young woman who brings
suit for breach of promise against
a well known citizen, formerly hold
err Of an important public Office. The
defendant at once announces that he
Knows nothing of the young woman
and has never even met her. But the
suit is sensational one, and the
charges made are doubtless believed
by considerable portion of the public.
Now il is announced that the young
woman has confirmed the defendants
statement and admits she had him
confused with another man. There
will be many persons who never will
see the denial and will continue to be-
lieve that the citizen in question had
been dishonorable man.
This sort Of thing is liable to hap
pen anywhere so long as any person
may bring any sort of suit, no mat
ter how much it may blacken the rep
utation Of the person accused, on
merely paying nominal fee. 1t has
happened in this county quite recently
and doubtless is not an uncommon oc-
currence in every court in the land.
Some day society is going to take
measures TO prevent the filing of suits
that are presumptively without merit.

they came over in the Mayfower and
afterward fell with Washington
in crossing the Delaware.
For the onion is commoner. 1t is
the poor mans food, as can be proved
by going to the kitchen of the hum
BILE dweller and shifting. AS most as
US have been poor at some time or
another, and most Of us have not got
ten over it yet, or have had ancestors
that were poor, there is really more
onion juice than blue blood in our
veins.
And so the fact that the onion is
in danger ought to appeal to the SYM
pathies of all honest men, and we
ought to return vote of thanks to a
government that has hunt
ed down the dastardly insect that has
the pabulum of our liber-
ties.

TOMORROW.

The best day in the year. What day
isl Why, tomorrow, of course.
We don't know whether it will be
rainy or fair--but why care? Rain
or shine, il will have "a hours. Time
for honest work: for honest play; for
sound, refreshing sleep.
Time to let you take lesson from
the breaks and mistakes Of yesterday
and today; and, starting anew, dig
your toes into the sand and make
things hum.
You know you can't call back the
past.
SO why fret about it?
Look ahead
Take new grip and tackle the flu
ture.
II you're not hopeless dub, you'll
be wiser tonight than you were this
morning. Wiser by whole busy days
rich experience. Wiser by what 12
hours in the most eventful, interest
ing, instructive period of human his
tory have taught you.
Which means that you II be ripper,
Drawer, better fit to go to the tasks,
the opportunities, the victories,
stronger to bear the sorrows, ADLER to
value the joys. that lie ahead.
Fate may have dealt you poor hands
yesterday. You hay have played your
cards like a chump today.
But tomorrow you have the chance
of your life, because it's new day,
clean day, day you can make what
you will.

ILLEGAL CIGARETTE SALE.

j. Harry Lynch, one Of the rural mai
carriers whose route runs from Milford
has written the Secretary of State OF
Delaware asking him for a copy of the
Cigarette laws of the State. Mr.. Lynch
thinks that some of the Milford mer-
chants do not know the provisions of
the law and for that reason has asked
that it be published. 1t is likely that
should they not heed the contents, pro-
secution will follow. The text of the
law follows

day afternoon of last week at the usual
time and place, and disposed of much
business of Importance. The ordinary
business of the day was made as short
as possible in order that a class of can

ments to give the members a debate on
the Suffrage question which is of timely
interest. Tomorrow Saturday will be
an open meeting and Prof. Whittier has

to listen to the lecturer. All are cor
daily invited Harrington Grange is
growing in both numbers and interest,
and it is the ambition of the Grangers
to make the grange the finest organiza-
ton of the kind in the State.

Fair Meeting On
Thursday, June Srd

Every business man in Kadoka
and every farmer living in Kado-
ka's trade territory should make
their plans to be in attendance at
the Fair Association Meeting to be
held in the Town Hall on Thurs
day afternoon, June 3rd.
At this meeting full plans will
be laid out for the conducting of
the annual Fair to be held during
the coming September and with the
bright prospects that everyone has
for a successful year, we should be
able to hold fair that will equal
any courty attraction held in the
state. The premium list should be
in the hands of the public by July
Ist, so any of our citizens who de-
sire to enter agricultural products,
live stock or fit their horses for the
races, will know exactly where they
are at. Be sure and attend the
meeting.

Cream Association
For KadOka Assured

AT the regular meeting of the
kadoka Commercial Club held in
the Town Hall on Tuesday evening
committee of three, consisting of
Messrs. J.. II. Fryberger as Chair
man, ]. +. Hrachovec and Thomas
Brake were named to take the
necessary steps and organize CO.
operative cream association. This
is good move upon the part of
the club but the success of the as
sociation will depend entirely upon
our farmers who are milking cows
and have cream to sell. A similar
Organization over at Cottonwood
took in Io8 ten gallon cans Of cream
in one week and they received a
price OF cents per pound more
than was paid in neighboring towns
which did not have a cooperative
Company. 1t is the intention of
this committee appointed by the
Commercial Club, to have one of
our leading cream sellers make a
trip, if necessary, to one of our
surrounding towns where there is
cooperative association doing bus
mess and get complete details so
we can get started as soon as pos
sible. The Press sincerely hopes
that all our farmers will put their
shoulders to the wheel, and we
know they will, and assist the Com
mercial Club in making the Kado-
ka Cooperative Cream Association
one of the successful business en-
terprises of the community.

cent of it.
