ARE DOING
GARDEN WORK

Ashland, Wis, June 2O.-More than
1900 school children are tending gar
dens this year according to the report
of the city superintendent of schools.
This is an increase of more than thirty
per cent over last year when only a
few more than 900 children said they
had gardens. The report shows that
the high school grades are doing less
than other grades?

tendance is urged. as several matters
OF importance are 10 come before the
chapter.
The Dickinson press., 1917-01-20

R. C. Horn has been kept busy of
late installing Delco-Light plants in
the community. He just recently re-
turned from Manning, where he put
in plants in the court house, Olttson
store and First State Bank. Last
week Chas. Ekblum and C. G. Gunkel
of Medora had plants installed.
Among others who have purchased
plants and which MI. Horn will soon
install are R. Finger for his store at
South Heart, Anton Tanberg, a pros
porous farmer, 16 miles southeast Of
Dickinson; Frank Kruger, for his
large buildings on his farm 10 miles
south of South Heart.
Ed. Loomis, who operates an auto
mobile stage line between Dickinson
and New England, started his car
again the past week after being laid
up since the heavy snow. The roads
are in fair shape and he can make
the trip in one hour and forty minutes
on an average. The road to Manning
and Killdeer is also now open for
automobile travel. Henry Erbe made
the trip to Killdeer Monday and re-
ports that outside of a few bad
places the road is very good. Alex
Fowler, mail stage driver between
Dickinson and Manning, made his first
trip since the snow with his Paige car
Tuesday morning. On the graded
roads the snow has practically all
blown away, leaving a hard smooth
surface. There is considerable snow
through the breaks but with a little
travel the roads will be worn down
in good shape.
