corn, and ample sized, sound ears
may be had at two dozen for rs
cents. 1t is not thought that sweet
corn will be much cheaper.
Largely owing to hot weather hav-
ing set in before that vegetable got
well started, onio n are not as plen-
tiful as they have been In many for
mer years, and those now on the
market are small er than the average.
Onions retail at about 6 cents a
pound. There is a good crop of beets
and that vegetable is selling at right
around 3 cents "a pound.
Cucumbers are said to be an aver
age crop, but comparatively few
small cucumbers, for picking, have
arrived on the local market. Large
cucumbers sell at from rs cents to
80 cents a dozen.
1t is said that the apple crop Is one
of the best yer grown here. While
only a few local apples have ripened.
there is an abundance of green crab
apples for picking and larger apples
for cooking. The crab apples bring
from 25 cents to 40 cents a peck.
while about 35 cents a peck is asked
for large green apples.
Imported fruits are low in price,
but it is said that peaches and plums
will shortly be cheaper than the,
now are.

A BIG SUCCESS
HOME TALENT PLAY AT LAKE
MADISON AUDITORIUM LAST
EVENING.

One Of the biggest audiences of
the season greeted the home talent
players at Lake Madison last night
to witness Way Down East" ana
we wish TO say in behalf of the large
cast that participated. that the play
was magnificently presented. and far
outclasses anything in the home tai
ent line ever presented in the city
and showed clever and conscientious
training. The setting for the four
acts were in keeping with the down
east surroundings. the snow storm
being most effective.
Miss Janet Rae as the Wronged
city girl, Miss Grace Peterson. Mrs.
Huxford, Miss Selwyn were all excel
lent as were Mr.. Farmer as the vii
lage constable, Vincent Walden as
the chore boy, Horace Mease as the
city chap, Edward Slack as the pro-
f%essor. Mr.. Blewitt as the father and
Mr.. Wheeler as the son. The rem
dering of the old fayorites by the
quartet, Messrs. Mease, futile, Fitz-
gerald and Kundert. were most en-
ioyable, also the selection by the
choir, Misses Mabel Johnson, Lenora
Johnson, Leila Slack and Leila Clark.
The performance is to be repeated
at the high school tonight. and judg-
ing from the many compliments
heard about last nights show. the
house will be filled TO capacity. Too
much credit cannot be given 10 Mr..
Wheeler and Miss Selwyn for their
untiring work and %endeavors in drill
ing the large cast, and the artistic
performance of last night speaks well
for their work, and as Mr.. Wheeler
stated last night in his announce
ment, Madison can lay claim to hav-
ing some of the cleverest home tai
ent to be found.

The dawn of the annual preserv-
ing season is at hand.
With some local fruit and a pro-
fusion of home grown vegetables on
the market, the average housewife is

During just about all of the pres
ent week, practically all kinds of

ton have been finding their way to
Madison stores. 1t is predicted that
within the next ten days vegetables
will have reached rock bottom prices.
Home grown tomatoes. which are
additionally in high favor at pre-
serving time, are here and they are
of excellent quality. At present to-
matoes are retailing al 10 cents a
pound, but 1t is expected that within
a short time the price will have
dropped to about 81 a bushel. Re-

Nj. j. Brennan and son, Louis, Of
North McGregor, Ia, who are visit
ing relatives at Lake Preston, spent
the day in Madison calling on
friends, returning to Lake Preston
by an afternoon train. Mr.. Brennan
was an early day resident of Madison
and his friends here enjoyed the
days visiting.
Harry Reintz, who has returned
from a trip through Lyman county,
reports that with the exception of
spring wheat, which was pretty much
a failure, crops there have turned
out unusually we'll. Mr.. Reintz said
winter wheat, rye, flax, corn and hay
are an excellent crop. Mr.. Reintz
said that near Murdo, where a dozen
years ago only rank prairie grass
grew. ripe apples and cherries may
now be picked from trees, and that
the old time shack is rapidly giving
place to comfortable dwellings. Mir.
Reintz brought back with him ex-
cellent samples of rye taken from a
field on his homestead.

Fr. MURPHY GIVES A FINE
ADDRESS.

Rev. FIR. Murphy Of Delhart,
Texas, the able advocate of temper
ance, gave a splendid address at the
opera house Sunday evening in the
interests of keeping Milbank dry.
On account Of it being Sunday even
ing his address was largely along
the line Of the necessity Of personal
temperance, and he exposed the
fallacy that man can be moderate
drinker and be at his best physically
mentally, or as a citizen, and held
up to scorn the boast of the fellow
who says that he can drink or let it
alone-because the man who can do
this always leaves it alone. He
contended that there is no such
thing as a moderate drinker, as
scientific experiments conducted
in the most thorough manner have
conclusively proven that single
glass Of liquor has deteriorating
effect on both mind and body
decreasing the efficiency Of the
mental and physical powers.
The address was along the line
that any young man must give heed
to if he wishes to deyelope the bes,
that is in him and make the most
of his own powers.
