Hal Berry and family of Dante
spent last Sunday here at the Leroy
Haynes home..
Chas. Vellek and family came from
Tabor Sunday to spend the day with
their relatives.
Prof. Laribie, of Yankton College,
was here last Sunday and conducted
services in the Episcopal church. Ar
engagements have been made for him
to be here twice each month.
Last week Ed. Lee sold his farm in
the Wittenberg neighborhood to Jacob
Stackerl, the purchase price being
500 per acre. On Tuesday of this
week Mr.. Lee then purchased $50
acres of the Maxwell Mennonite coll
ony. for which he paid $40 per acre.
This land is located four miles north
east Of Scotland, and is known as the
Rev. Lich farm. The Mennonites
purchased it few years ago of Philip
Engel and DR.. Landmann. 1t is
somewhat bluffy for farming, but
makes an excellent stock farm.
G. c. Pickett of Tyndall, county
judge of this county, and also editor
of.,the Tyndall Tribune, was in town
last Saturday between trains. He
has enlisted in the service and was
on his way to Camp Pike, at Little
Rock, Ark, where he will enter an
officers training school. Judge Puck
EFT is the first one of the legal frater-
nifty of this county tc be enrolled, al
though we understand that others
have offered their services. Mr..
Pickett is on the republican ticket for
reelection, and while he will not be
present to look after his campaign we
apprehend that his interests will not
suffer at the hands Of the voters.

from present indications it has united
Belgium as never before in its history.
Before the war there, was a well defined

1t occurs to the observer OF these

Gardeners in and about the city should
look up these courses. Farm owners
who manage farms from their busy

The courses in farm crops. soil man

squarely to the point OF the special
need of the practical minded business

The course in soils is especially well
arranged in that students can work
with the several types of soils found in
fields and gardens about the city and
within fifty miles of the city. Students
are urged to send In soils from their
