CORNELL BOYS

was q perfectly good sample. and the
rest were up to the same standard.
That's tho reason four OF the sepior

It required men with plenty OF
sand" And 1t promised to send the
men to France within SIX or eight
weeks.
SEND THEIR SAMPLE.
But there was a slight hitch. It Twas
in the middle Of the month, with al
lowances almost spent, and the four
didn't have enough money to come to
Chicago and interview Lieutenant Gar
land. They pooled their resources
and sent the captain of the football
team. Dewey A. Hoadley, on to Chi
cago - a sample" He blew breeEily
into Lieutenant Garland's Office last
Thursday. Ono look at him was
enough for the recruiting officer. Al
though he is only taking picked men,
the young football captain was too
plainly find" Over six feet tall,
bone and sinew, with the light of bat
tie in his eyes, an appraising glance
was sufficient.
"Are they all like your" queried
Lieutenant Garland.
Every one"
"All, right, I'll take them an"
RESULTS ARE QUICK.
Forthwith the captain returned to
Cornell and there did some quick
work. The four boys-they are each
20-got their parents consent, and
with the college authorities to get
their degrees at once, and showed up
at Lieutenant Garland's office yester-
day. The lieutenant had gone to MIL
waukee for the day to open a branch
office. At noon the four we're at that
Milwaukee branch. ready for service.
They had taken the first train.
So Hoadly and William p. Helms,
Don A. Starry and Cotton Etter

Pierve.-The state council of defense
is advocating and in fact will expect
the various war contributions made
by citizens of South Dakota to be put
upon business basis, and thus safe
guarded, by having the name Of the
donor, address, ETC., as we'll as that of
the person soliciting the contribution
reported to whatever state manager is
in charge Of the particular campaign in
question. The Red Cross manages
its affairs in this business like method,
and its success is therefore complete
as is that of the Y. M. c. A., which also
has definite methods. Just now there
is to be compaign for funds with
which to secure khaki bibles for the
soldiers. and this. as we'll as other
similar things, will be reported in this
definite way, thus insuring the funds
reaching the proper persons for all
these patriotic gifts to soldiers by the
citizens at home.

Another "Lueky" Farmer.

Observation-Disclosures is every prospect
that John Overgaard, a farmer living
near Beresford, will make a small for
tune from his corn crop. He was one
OF the farmers who were lucky enough
to have their corn crop mature in first
class condition, and he without doubt
can sell every bushel of corn remain
ing on hand at high prices for seed.
The other day he sold 600 bushels of
the corn for 50 per bushel, but will
retain 1000 additional bushels which
he raised last season, and for this he
may by spring receive from $40 to 500
per bushel, as seed corn is already
being sold in adjacent territory in
Iowa for as high as s19 per bushel
In addition to the corn, Overgaard has
1000 bushels of oats and large bunch
OF hogs which he is getting ready for
market.
