Mecca of Dickinsonians, large and
small, young and old, Sunday, was
the circus grounds. From early morn
till late in the afternoon a steady
stream of sightseers rambled about
the lot, peeping in the cages and peer
ing in every nook and corner for
strange sights. Following circus Gu s.
toms, Sunday was cleanup day for
the Cole outfit, and everything from
the horses and the cages down to the
garments of the "razorbacks" was
given a bath.
Land owners in the Circle are doing
their bit to provide increased food
nroduction. A great part Of the
Ground there is under cultivation,
snuds. garden stuff, small fruits, and
evervthing imaginable being planted
in an effort to swat the high cost.
At anv time of the day or evening
nav he seen the ambitious gardeners,
hnsv at work on the plots.
IVY ". r. L%enneville has set out a
large number of trees in the new
addition to his nursery, east of his
home. Included in the new assert
ment are pines, spruce, cottonwood
and boxelder trees, and a hedge of

I'm in the Little Bad Lands Nature
;s b%epinning to don it's summer garb
Of green. Wild plum trees are in
bloom. the crops are of good color,
and the grass is beginning TO attain
it's summer hue.
Building operations all over the
c;tv are on in full blast. New dwell
NOS are fast taking shape, work on
+he new p~ostoffice building is going
along at a rapid clip, and satisfactory
nropress is being made on the new

Cornerstone of which will be laid Sun

Elements at the Farmers Cooperative
Elevator Indicate that the farmers of
this locality are expecting an abund-
ant harvest.
A little rain and a little more time,
and the court house park will be a
mass of bloom. Ted Hartung and his
assistants have placed flower beds in
ali parts of the park, and it will be a
beauty spot worth viewing before
many weeks roll past.
The circus proved a life v for
the city in connection with welcoming
K boys home Sunday, the circus band
making it appear 0 like a real
welcome. Another proof that we
should get busy and organize a band.
Another incident in connection with
the visit of the Cole show here is we'll
worthy of mention. Appeal was made
at the local churches Sunday for sup
port in the campaign for funds for
the Army Y movement. At the close
of services, two women, connected
with the circus, who attended services,
handed envelopes to a local leader in
the campaign, one containing 80 and
the other 81, expressing the hope that
the move meet with the success thai it
deserves.
There is one man in Dickinson VINO
believes in avoiding waste. A mar
fastened down the street Saturday
When he reached a place where he
thought himself unobserved he dropped
a bottle. Came another mar along a
moment later, and spied said bottle.
He stopped, gazed at the supposed
"dead bird" for a moment, picked it
I'D, uncorked it, and smelled of it. A
satisfied look, as though he were at
peace with the world, stole over his
face. He placed it tenderly in an
inside pocket and went on his way
reioicing-for only five more weeks
till the bone-dry law is here, and any
waste is sinful.
Arnie Branick modestly admits
that he is champion fisherman of the
court house force. Arnie and a couple
of friends spent a large part Of the
Sabbath fishing on Green river, Arnie
making a big catch of club, red
horse, bullheads and carp.
A number of fishermen patroled the
banks of Heart river, also on Sunday,
but no catches of astounding size are
renorted
