Saturday news. (Watertown, S.D.) 19??-19??, 1915-06-24

and then the other. Ii Billy is all
right and is right he does not need
to worry but just keep at work-he's
just getting that much free advertis-
ing. At all events he can feel some
pride in the size of the offers he has
received to talk. We would like to
talk at that rate for a couple of sea-
sOns-we'd not worry about the corn
crop. Speaking Of this matter, let
us whisper to you, mister, that we
don't think calling Mr.. Sundays con-
verts-or perhaps we should state the
converts during his meeting-'trail
hitters," etc, hardly needful and a
little %unsavory and you may be a
long way improper in the expression.
The Saturday News Is very correct
in stating that Mr.. w. J. Bryan is
more hal a COMMON man; yes, in
deed, far more. 1t also very prop
erly added that America or the world
Is not yet prepared to write his biOg-
raphy. He knows a whole lot more,
and is far ADLER as a man, even as a
statesman, than many of the fellows
who have tried to say smart things
about him of late. Yes, perhaps
your opinion is right, mister, but it
always pays to be respectful-besides
you're only one"
And we learned the other day that
there are two kinds OF A~dventists, the
kind that keeps Saturday for Sunday
and the kind that heeps Sunday for
Sunday. The Adventists and Christian
Adventists. Jolly! If a fellow could
work it just right SC he could be-
long to both of these he would have
two days a week off. Wouldn't that
be great?
Yes, sir, if we were some years
younger than we are and could then
know as much about some things as
we now know we would certainly
look the matter up a little and pick
out what we felt to be the Sest thing
offered as a claim and exercise our
land right and stick right by it, thick
or thin. 1t might look a little thin at
times but many a hin looking claim
has turned out in great shape.
You would scarcely suppose a nan
like d. f. Jones would notice a thing
like a beer key or at least in a way
other than to condemn the entire fra
ternity (and we surmise there are
heavier patrons of the industry than
this same Jones, and we question If
his sentiment regarding the business
is the most favorable ~thereunto), but
dear reader, he's the very man who
advanced an idea to help out the
beer keg manufacturing business, and
to help conserve u timber supplies
Cthis latter, no doubt, mighty com
mendable in the gentleman, shows ne
Is possessed of considerable scope
of thought "a student Of conditions,
etc, and as well a public spirited fell
low. His idea is to grow a good
hard wood tree, with a solid rim but
hollow in the center the proper size
and length for these kegs. He has
called Mr.. PALMS attention to the
undertaking. Mr.. Palm stated he
felt it a very laudable affair and far
reaching in it's influence on the for
est sections, but as an industry for
FCodington county he was somewhat
in doubt but would take the matter
up with Watertown's ranking horti-
%culturist, Mr., G. A. Tracy, at his ear
Hest convenience.
A program, dinner and ball game
for Old Settlers day at Stony Point
had been planned and Was all ready
but the weather man didn't to
think it was just the proper thing so
he put a damper on the whole affair
by having a drizzling rain most of
the day. Well, well see next year.
Messrs. E. II. Oleson, ]. j. Purcell,
E. M. Wheelock and Mr.. and Mrs.
George Brown and no doubt others

out and clean up the yard generally.
