son. Mr.. Purcell was chosen super
visor for one year to take the place
of Mr.. Croft whose retirement from
active farm operations and residence
in the city disqualified him from the
place. Mr.. Croft was present at the
meeting and by request acted as
chairman or presiding officer of the
day. Mr.. Croft has held a town office

his popularity and ability.

Grover for several days.
The meeting at the hall this week
was a well rounded success. Messrs.
Ausman of Clark county, and Palm
of Codington, were the speakers. The
attendance was very good and so was
the neighborhood dinner.
A meeting of the directors OF the
Farmers Elevator Co. of Kampeska
took place at the hall Monday fore
noon. Current business was attended
to and the years supply of twine was
ordered of the state prison factory.

farmers of the community will buy
their twine this year of their home
company. The prison factory now
makes a satisfactory grade-of Irvine
and Governor Norbeck BUYERS
of this twine that it will be sold at a
price that will barely pay for it's
manufacture. Irvine will be high this
year and there will no doubt be con
siderable difference in price between
this twjne and other Irvine.
