which region many members OF the Syri-

900 years old, according to the reckoning
of naturalists. As a dealer in Oriental

One of Montpelier's regular night po-
licemen stepped into the Vermont Fruit
store on North Main street this morning
and applied such an overpus of muscle
to the door in closing it behind him that
a large plate glass was reduced by the
SCATTERING process to vest-pocket mirror
dimensions. Attaches at the store
thought that one of the display windows
had been broken, but the damage at Sec
glance was confined to the glass panel
in the door. man who was entering
the door at the policeman's heels was
struck by fragments of falling glass, al
though he escaped injury. The loss of
the panel, which was valued at S25 or
thereabouts, is covered by insurance.

WHY NOT SOME MUSIC?

Last SATURDAY. afternoon while
the Press man was visiting on the
streets with our different acquain-
tances the thought came to our
mind that it would be good thing
for the Kadoka business men to get
busy and assist in organizing a
band so that we could give our
farmer friends as well as the town
folks little music each Saturday
afternoon during the summer mon
tbs. Last Saturday there was the
usual big crowd upon our streets;
every store in town was full OF peo-
pile. and half hour band concert
would certainly please everyone.

Prof. Holden, the Worlds Great Corn Expert,
Will Speak In Kadoka

There is no town in the west river
country which has a brighter future
than kadoka and little pep"

urday afternoon band concerts.
What do you think about it? The
Press management stands ready to
go down on the list for $500 a
month to secure the music-and
say boys, after a two weeks trv out
of the concerts, there will not be a
family in ten miles around but what
will drive to kadoka by team or
auto to do little trading and to
hear the, concert.

the Press can say to our readers IN
eastern South Dakota, Iowa and
Nebraska that if they are intending
to make a trip out through West
ern South Dakota the coming sum-
mer, they should plan to make
their trip so they could stop off at
Kadoka and take in the fair.
In the mind of the Press man
nothing on earth is better for the
upbuilding of a community than
good old rousing county fair-there
we mingle with each other; talk
over the crops, and get a wonder
full chance to learn and see what
our neighbor is, doing in an agri-
cultural and live stock way.
To bring about the successful
fair it is necessary that the home
builder of Jackson county lend
their effort to the cause and take
it upon themselves to see that we
have the exhibits in the many de-
partments that are necessary, and
the Press can assure you that the
officers of the Jackson County Fair
Association will certainly appreci-
ate any thing you can do along
these lines. Our fair for 1916 will
be second to none in the west river
country-it can be the best if we
all will put our shoulder to the
wheel and boost. Let's push.
