The CrOW'S-Nest

Is the suitcase likely to come into
disrepute? 1t is getting to be a very
common receptacle for the carrying OF
booze, by ~peripatetic vendors of the
accursed stuff, and a heavily weighted
case is generally looked upon with
suspicion if carried by ~transients who
shuttle back and forth between wet
and dry" towns. Down with the suit
case booze vendors.
The Redfeld merchants propose to
try the plan of a joint equipment of
delivery wagons for two weeks and if
1t proves a success they will continue
the system. They estimate that it
costs from $4,000 to $4,000 a year 70
maintain the individual wagon system
and this amount can be materially re-
duced by cooperation. The individual
delivery system is quite a tax upon
both the merchant and the consumer
and in the long run the consumer pays
the bills. What If each manufacturer
would not be satisfied with a common
carrier and should build a railroad for
himself to supply his trade? The
prices OF goods would be out of sight.
Here, each merchant has his own pri-
vate train, as it were. The merchants
In another town are trying to en-
courage what Is to be known as
Basket Day" On Wednesdays they
offer a discount on goods that are
bought in person and carried home in
a basket. This is an idea worth imi-
tating.
Some M in Sioux Falls got two
bothersome dogs on one of the prin-
cipal streets a few days ago.. 1t might
be a good plan to induce him to come
to Brookings and try his luck on some
OF the a~uto-chasing CANNES on our
Main street. There are a few here
that are a public nuisance and should
be chained up or banished from the
city.
1t Is not safe to make predictions in
regard to city politics. Ten days ago
there seemed to be nc interest in pre-
election matters and every one was at
sea as to the probable candidates for
most Of the city offices but it did not
take long to o considerable ex-
citment. Where people see each other
every day long campaigns are not nee
essary. On the day of the ward eau
cuses things began to liven up, e5-
pecially in the Fourth ward, and by
Saturday nearly everyone in the city
was taking a lively interest in the
mayorality contest. It called out 4O3
voters at the city hall in the evening.
Every n was good natured about 1t
and the result was decisive enough to
any Independent mayoralty

1t will not be at all surprising that
among the new buildings to be erect
ed the coming summer will be a hand
some new church edifce for the Pres
byterian church denomination. Some
time ago the members of the Reform
ed church congregation made the
Presbyterian trustees an offer for their
building and at a meeting of the con-
gregation last Sunday the trustees
were instructed to accept the offer
and to go ahead and solicit subscrip-
tons for the erection Of a new build
ing. The present church building is
too small for the Presbyterian de-
nomination in many ways. 1t is large
enough to accommodate an ordinary
church service, but it Is far too small
for the work Of the Sunday school,
and it is generally felt that the offer
of the Holland people paves the way
for the erection of a building that will
meet the present day requirements of
the Presbyterians.

MILFORD GRANGE.

As planned, Saturdays topic was a
fitting climax to the preceding one on
''Silos As Farm Boosters"
! A representative gathering greeted
DR.. Hayward and in opening he said,
''In twelve years that | have talked
COW in Delaware this is the first time
have been asked to speak on the very
interesting subject of 'Dairying' 3"
which shows that Milford Grange is
awake to present day opportunities.
In the course of his remarks he ad-
vised the raising of registered cattle,
| for it costs no more to raise good stock
and when you come to sell you have
something that will command a market
price. Sell all scrub stock and invest in
one blooded COW and more if you can.
Every month in the year there is
ready money coming in whether from
milk. cream or butter. Another point
in favor of the COW is that large per-
centage of the food is available in ma
nure-a crop makes on the farm.
Dr. Hayward does not recommend
pasturing in Delaware and corn silage
fed twice day with one feeding of hay
is the satisfactory way.
One hundred pounds 30 per cent. but
ter fat will make 35 lbs. of butter.
A great deal of interest was shown
! by the members and many questions
were asked and answered.
We most heartily thank DR.. Hay
ward for his interesting and practical
talk.
The topic for Saturday, March 10th,
is points of law a farmer should
know" with Atty-at-Law J. Hall An
derson as speaker. This is a subject
which should bring out our full member
ship being an up-to-date subject with
an up-to-date leader.
The committee in charge of arrange
ments for Pomona will meet Charles
Barker at Grange Hall. Saturday at 2
p. m.
Topic for March 9th, Parent
Teachers, This being the Sisters Day
of the month Mrs. o. L. Balsley, Mrs.
Phillips, Mrs. Lemuel Watson, Miss
Whitehead and Mrs. William Fisher will
have charge of the day and sub topics
will be announced later. There will be
no refreshments and the meeting will
be open to the public.
Judging from the applause, laughter
and after remarks the Return of the
Spinsters" was a success. Each part
was so we'll acted and well received that
we will not praise any particular one.
The Milford Orchestra could not hold
candle ito their rivals the "Spinsters

MILFORD BOARD OF HEALTH.

The members of the Milford Board Of
Health purpose to have the laws for
protection of the public health enforced
or know the reason why they are not
enforced. At meeting held for March
last Wednesday evening, when the
annual reorganization was made, the
following officers were elected for 1915:
President. George H. Hall Vice Presi
dent, DR.. w. P. Ruhl Secretary, DR..
W. r. Pierce. They decided to call the
peoples attention once more to the vari-
GUS ordinances of Milford as follows
ut shall be unlawful for any person
to keep any swine within the limits of
the Town Of Milford, or to erect, keep
or maintain any hog-pen, pigsty or other
building for the keeping of swine, with
out a special permit in writing from the
Board of Heath of Milford. Any per-
son keeping any swine or erecting and
maintaining any building for that pur-
pose in contravention of this section,
shall be guilty of a common nuisance,
and upon conviction thereof before the
Alderman, shall forfeit and pay a fine
of not less than five nor more than
twenty five dollars, to be collected as
fines of like amount are collected. "
The Board formerly voted that no
permits shall be issued for the year 1915,
which would permit the maintainance of
the nuisances of having swine in the
Town limits.

BISHOP KINSMAN HOLDS
CONFIRMATION SERVICE

Before a large congregation Bishop
wipsman held a Confirmation Service IN
christ Church, Milford, March IA. The
Tisits of Bishop Kinsman to Milford are
awaited with much interest by the mem
hars of Christ Church Parish and also by
manv others who find much meat for
affection in his sermons. He took his
2ext from the 9th chapter of st. John,
mhieh he developed into logical discus
aiop of Communion and its meaning.
In the course of his remarks he also
dwell upOn symbolism, question which
would naturally arise in the minds OF
s,anv who are unfamiliar with the rites
~ the Episcopal Church and to whom
fhe alter the seven lamps and other
evnhOls of the Church and service are
matters of curiosity. This point Bishop
Kinsmap illustrated by drawing atten-
tioD to two widely movements-that OF
the Ouakers and what is known as the
oxford movement of the Church of Eng
land. The one which might be termed
varv low church. the other very high
church. The former expressing by a
severe plainness and lack of color what
the latter expresses by varied ornament
and ritual. Different in expression the
underlying principal is the same. Their
divergence in dress and church custom
being merely an outward evidence Of
their, inward determination to serve
Christ
Continuing in the same strain Bishop
Kinsnnan related that whenever a Quaker
becomes an Episcopal he almost invari-
ably becomes a high Churchman for the
reason that once seeing the value and
meaning of symbols in religion he de-
sires that which in itself passes the
most meaning. And while the underly-
ing principal of service to Christ is re-
tained the service of Christ becomes
alled with meaning for him which it
did not possess before.
