sIanal Fills TwofoId Purpose.

Near a dangerous curve in Loring
avenue, at Salem, Mass, conspicu-
GUS warning signal has been erected
for the benefit Of motorists. 1t con-
sists of tall, brightly painted wooden
figure, representing an officer with one
hand raised and the other holding a
red flag. Because of Its size and
color, the sign cannot escape notice,
and therefore doubtless has a great
er effect than would a more conserva-
tive sign. 1t was installed by tire
company beside one Of the latter's bill
boards, and thus performs the two
fold function of calling attention to
the curve and so-and-so's products.

yancement of the community

Early Settlers, Successful

Mr. and Mrs. Il Overholzel
were III Mobrid.e Wednesday from
their ranch eleven miles southeast
OF this city. In fact this ranch
is near the old town of Evarts; one
quarter section of the property
extending up and into the original
townsite aud it is presumed that
had the town remained there, that
many fine dwellings would no
doubt have been built on the land
as town lots would haye been sur
veyed on it.
Mr.. Overholzer owns and con-
trolls large acreage upon which
he raises bloOded driving horses,
draft horses and Hereford cattle.
This ranch property borders the
Missouri river which affords ex-
cellent pasturage as along the
banks Of the river, large trees
make an ideal shade for stock in
summer.
In addition to stock raising,
six splendid milch cows-three
OF which are Jerseys-are MIXED
and the cream is made into butter
which finds steady customers in
Mobridge who consumed eleven
hundred pounds of this product
the past year. The family of
course used their share of butter
which was in addition to the
amount above stated.
Mrs. Overholzer raises Barred
Plymouth Rock chickens which
always command good prices as
they mature early, making good
friers when about eight weeks old.
Geese, ducks and turkeys are also
raised; the revenue from which
add considerably to the income
of the ranch at the end of the
year.
Mr. and Mrs. Oyerholzer came
to the Evarts country in 1892,
Immediately following their mar
riage in their Iowa home and
while they have experienced some
of the hard times usually incident
in a new country, yet, by good
and Safe management with close
application to their work, they
now have lovely home and drive
one OF the finest trOlting horses
in the county besides owning an
automobile.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. OverhOlzer
liked their old homes in Iowa,
but they are perfectly contented
with South Dakota and the way
they have Jared since living here.
