One of the best individual sales of
hogs reported in this locality was
made yesterday by Geo. Hide, who
sold a carload on the Sioux Falls
market for ~$3,212.96. The sale was
made through the Farmers Elevator
company, of this city, and the top
price of $16.40 was obtained. Mr..
Hide resides a few miles north of
Madison and the hogs were of his
own raising.
A couple of belated registrants ap-
peared before officers of the registra-
ton board today, and announced that
though somewhat late, they desired
to submit to the examination. Chair
mar Johnson and DR.. Lowe accom-
modated them, thus cleaning up the
slate for all except for those who
were authorized to be examined be-
fore other boards. Another examin-
alton is scheduled for Monday of next
week.
Mrs. Helen Campbell, of Aberdeen,
field worker for the Red Cross with
headquarters in Sioux Falls, will
speak in the auditorium of the high
school tonight, on subjects of gen.
eral interest in connection with the
work. Mrs. Campbell is an able
woman and an able speaker. She
was formerly in business in Aber-
deem, but relinquished 1t for the time
during the stress of war, taking up
Red Cross work. Her training en-
ables her to take a broader view of
woman's effective service than most
speakers might.
Two basket ball games last night
at the Normal gymnasium are de-
scribed as having a little more of the
element of zip" to them than has
been shown in games of either of the
two institutions for some time. The
first, between the girls teams of the
two schools, resulted in a score of Is
to 20 in favor of the high school.
This score was flouted in the faces of
the defeated student body for a time,
then the boys teams went on, and
the high school made it Is to % for
themselves. Bedlam was evident for
a great part of the time, but ii is said
that the defeated teams swallowed
hard a couple of times-then smiled.
