well. Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Heathcote
and family are we'll.
Among the new cars out this way
are a new one at the Perry Burk
home, one at the Bert Lewis home,
one at the home of Mr.. Oquist. Well,
that's all right, people, we believe in
getting a car and we'll have some
little car just as soon as we can. 1t
pulls the town up to you and enables
you to get around.
The Murphy Cubs" are playing a
fast ball game this season. Tuesday
of this week they played the Henry
team at the chautauqua grounds. The
game was played after this writing.
Mr.. Murphy told us the names of
their battery but it slipped our mind.
June the 18th these lads played the
Hazel players at the lake. Rain put
a stop to the game in the ninth in
ming with the score tied, 3 to 3. Eddie
Falvey pitched this game.

first of the week.
Saw Mr.. Claude Tessier at the Geo.
Lautenschlager implement house the

By the courtesy of Mr.. and Mrs.

their fine new car Saturday evening.
We called at the Everett Wheelock
home and the home OF the Melcherts.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wheelock, Miss Vici
and boy, Harry, were all we'll and
busy. (Mrs. Kendall says that when
Mr.. William Snyder buys his car he
will have to buy a whale or have a
trailer. Maybe so, but we notice Nh.
Tigner has a car and yet no trailer,
but of course, at this home there are
several carriages and good driving
teams.) Well, coming back to the
Wheelock home, Mr.. and Mrs. Vince
lock expect a visit Dol from their
daughter, Emma, and Miss Vici in
tends to spend the with an
aunt in North Dakota.
At the pretty Melchert home we
found all hands at home and a visit
or, Miss Thelma Bonner. Mr.. Mel
ebert limps some yet but is getting
along quite we'll. His new barn is a
dandy and nearing completion. He
states he is well satisfied with the
work of the Ross brothers of Water
town, that they seem to be pushers
and yet are careful to do good, solid
work all along the line.
Mrs. Ronald Dean has returned
from Minneapolis. She is a victim of
neuralgia of the face at this time.
Mr.. John Culver, formerly a resi-
dent of the community, living on the
farm now owned by Mr.. Geo. Cook,
now of Hot Springs, this state, is
here on a visit. He called at the
Dean home the past week.
At the George Croft home, Mrs.
Croft is better, and also, the grand
father, Mr.. Burns.
We figure that it will rain now
most every day until that alfalfa on
the Fred Brown dairy farm is cut
and put up.
The Wall Street Journal states, ac-
cording to the South Dakota Educat-
or, that a gallon of gasoline will bale
four tons of hay, milk 300 cows, mix
80 cubic yards of cement, move a
truck IA miles, plow three-ffths of
an acre, or generate enough electric !
ity to illuminate the farm home for
thirty hours.
Mr.. Theodore Roosevelt did not re-
ceive the nomination of the republic
can party at Chicago, but we wonder
IL it was a clear cut deal. Do you
know while Mr.. Roosevelt has many
enemies, yet in the hearts of millions
of our people there is a d~eepseatedl

nature and his capable Amer
and we often feel that If this
nation as a whole would vote straight !
