The Keystone State will have q

the wheat best of all. Last year the
wheat crop was 24,s2S,OOO bushels, but
It is thought that It will be exceeded
by over 100000 bushels.
Rye Crop Above Average.
The bulletin says;
The rye crop is 1ye per cent above

GOLF BALLS EXPLOSIVE;
HANDLE THEM CAREFULLY

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec 13.-Golf balls
are explosive, and in some cases as
dangerous as bomb shells, if the ex-
perience of Harry Giles, a little negro
caddy of this city, is any guide.
While attempting to cut open a golf
ball with knife, the little negro had
an eye blown opt by an explosion.
and he is now being treated in a hos
pital.
Doctors who have observed his in
jury declare it cannot be too widely
known what serious risks attend the
cutting open of golf balls. The con-
tents of the core of ball are gener.
ally of a strongly alkaline, soapy
consistency, and may contain calcium
chloride or other dangerous chem
ical.

JEWS HAVE THEIR
DEDICATION FEAST

The Feast Of Dedication (Chan-
nukah) commences at shutdown Tues
day December 18th, and lasts for
eight days. 1t celebrates the success
full ending of a war against religious
tyranny. It's predominant message,
therefore, is religious liberty.
In the year 1872 before the present
era, the Syrian king, Antiochus Epi-
planes. set up a statute of pagan
deity in the Jewish Temple of Jeru-
salem, and tried to compel the Jews to
worship it and abandon their own
faith. This effort of forcing an alien
religion upon the Jewish people pro-
voked bitter revolt in which the
Jews, led by the famous Judas Mac
cabeus and his brothers, finally de-
feated the Syrian armies, re-entered
the temple and re-dedicated it as the
center of Jewish worship. In honor of
this re-dedication, the feast of Chan
nukah (dedication) was established, its
eight days to be holidays. days of song
and thanksgiving.
The holiday is marked by special
prayers of thanks and psalms of praise
inserted into the daily ritual, and by
the kindling of the Channukah lights.
The usual custom is to light one light
on the first day, two ON the second.
three on the third, and SO on, adding
one each successive day of the feast.
AS to the reason for this custom of
kindling the lights, legends tells that
when Judas Maccabeus and his victor
| ious army rededicated the Temple and
cleansed it of all the impurities of
idolatry. he found that there was only
enough pure oil to keep the perpetual
light burning for one day, and it would
be long before new oil could be pro-
cured. But miraculously, this small
amount of oil lasted for eight days,
and the perpetual light was not ex-
| tinguished. For this reason it was
|
ordained that every year lights should
be kindled for eight days in every
household. 1t became customary for
the lights to be placed in the windows
and the doorways. so that the streets
of the cities be lighted up. Thus the
feast came to be known also as the
Feast of Lights.
The Jewish date for the beginning of
this feast is the twenty-ffth of the
r4onth of Kislev. According to one
tradition, the reason that Judas Sc
1ected this date is because it fell ex-
actly three years after Antiochus had
defiled the Temple; according to an
other tradition it is because that was
also the day when the Israalites, after
being delivered from Egyrt, completed
the Tabernacle in the wilderness.

everybody knows they are:

Flay cards for prizes and money.
Drink highballs and cocktails.

The reason given for quitting business

BIG DITCH PROJECTS
ARE NOW UNDER WAY

The engineering office OF F. D. Mini
UNI is preparing the preliminary survey
for some big bitches in this county.
One that his force Of engineers. is now
working on is known as ditch No. 5,
located northwest of Sleepy Eye. The
main channel is to be from fourteen
to sixteen miles long and with it's lateraIs
will make some fifty Or sixty miles
ditch, costing, it is roughly estimated,
at between $500 and 100000.
It is located in Home, Prairieville
and Stark townships, and will drain
about 500 acres CT worthless land and
improve as much more. Kruger lake
and the slough north OF Sleepy Eye lake
viii both be drained, if the ditch is
authorized. It will empty into Sleepy
Eye creek. It is said to be the largest
ditch project in Blown county.
Anorhar project, the preliminary
work Of which is nearly completed, is
known as ditch No 33, in Aloin and
M0lliGan townships. The main ditch
will be ab~uy six miles long and will
empty into Lake Eanska. The estimated
cost viii reach around $125, eco. It is
expected the final hearing will be before
the county commissioners early in
April.

Attendance Reaches $50

The New Sweden Farmers club is
rapidly forging to the front, under the
direction of it's able president, Swante
Olson and secretary Lloyd Ostrom. The
meetings are held in school house No. 46
during the winter and at different private
houses in the summer. During the past
season it was not uncommon for the at
tendance to reach 200 or $50. An in
structive talk, the development of the
members in music, recitation and public
speaking, and a general good time follow
ing have been the secrets OF the success
of this organization. The members of
the club have unusual natural ability
and their meetings are always of great
interest to all who are so fortunate as to
have an opportunity to attend.
Social Side Developed.
The Swan Lake Farmers club has
developed the social side probably more
than any of the others. 1t is not un-
common for the young people to remain
for hours after the regular program to
take part in games and other forms of
amusement. The meetings are usually
held in private houses. Russell Gleason
is the president and Raymond Karstad
is the secretary.
Study Drainage.
The Brighton Farmers club has been
organized for about two years. During
the past season the members have de-
voted their time to the study of drainage,
as the locality is more in need of better
drainage facilities than any other one
thing.
Room for More.
Other clubs have been organized in the
Consolidated District No. 43, Norseland,
and the eastern part Of Lake Prairie.
There is still room for other organiza-
tions in parts Of the county and study
Of the clubs already formed would be
enough to convince the most skeptical
of the value of such an organization in
his own community.
