PUT BAN ON SHAVING
Dakota State College Students Pre-
pare for Hobo Day.

Bookings, Nov. IA ban on
shaving has been declared by the stu
dent association at State college in
making preparations for hobo day.
November s. And talk about whis-
kers! There will be the original fiji
ty-seven varieties and then some
alfalfa, the boys call 1t. Some of Ii
is yellow lowered, with luxuriant
growth, while other varieties might
be classed as recumbent.
Any student who violates this anti
shaving rule will be punished severe
ly by the student body. A few dcwny
faced freshmen are sorely perplexed,
fearing lest their best efforts in the
propagation Of whiskers will be mis-
taken for a fairly close shave. How
ever, in spite of the CONSERVATION
among the young women this rule
will be rigidly enforced.

FOUND DYING
Beresford Bachelor Found Uncon-
scious in His Apartments.

Beresford, Nov. AFTER lying
alone in a helpless condition for what
could not have been less than four
days and nights. Albert Brown, un-
married, of this city. was found n an
unconscious condition in his modest
little apartments on the second floor
OF a business block. He was rushed
to a hospital, but his vitality had be-
come so low that death soon ensued.
A slight wound on his head caused
the to summon a jury, which
investigated the death in the belief
that he might have been the victim OF
foul play. But no evidence was Sc
cured to bear out this suspicion. So
far as known he had only n reia-
tive, a brother who lived In the Tar
west.

stick to raising wheat" We as
sured Plazi that we continued to pub

cries from time to time as We could
get them and that they all went to
show that they were profitable in
vestments, though Mr.. Derungs was
inclined to think they were not so.
This of curse may not be the most
favorable time to engage in a general
agitation of the question of establish
ing new creameries. However. the
very next man we met was E. r. C..
Gross, the leading creamery man of
the county, and we preached the
question of grain raising versus
creamery to him. why" he says,
with butter at Is and % cents a
pound there is no comparison In the
profits of wheat raising with that OF
butter making. Who would sell oats
or barley at 9 cents "A bushel when
you can feed IT to COWS and get so
much for butter. | would not think
of selling grain at these figures. l
feed my COWS ground grain three
times a day and hay and am making
big money from them. They don't
eat ten pounds of hay a day each"
And thus you have the two views of
farming.

A GOOD MAN GONE.

Many years ago when the editor Of
this paper had just left college, it
was his good fortune to fall into the
hands of Capt. E. Burson, of Furman,
Ala, who placed him in charge of the
public school in that village. Capt.
Burson was chairman of the Board Of
trustees of the district, and most
useful and active citizen. When any
thing was to be accomplished, he was
always on hand. After many years
news comes Of his death, which brings
sorrow to his friends everywhere.
Capt. Burson was at one time men,
ber of the General Assembly, Of his
state, and for fifty years was lead
ing man in southern Alabama. He was
an officer of the Methodist church, a
supporter of its institutions, and a
friend always of the widow and or
phan. He was a Confederate soldier,
and as one Of his comrades remarked
about him "the bullets never flew too
thick nor too fast to keep him from
the post Of duty" The same might
have been said of him in private life.
A good man has gone to his reward.
