WALPOLE MAKES BIG LAND DEAL

One of the big land trades of
the west river country was COM
pleted Tuesday over at our neigh
boring town of Philip, when that
wide-aWake real estate dealer,
Will r. Walpole, closed the trans
action transferring the Chas. Hax-
by ranch on the Cheyenne river
of 2716 acres, to Chester and
Morgan Smith of Sioux City, Ia.,
This ranch is one of the best
layouts in this section of the
state, is extra well improved, has
300 acres of old alfalfa and the
Smith Bros, we're exceedingly
fortunate in securing the proper
ty at the price of $4,000.
With the ranch Mr. Walpole also
sold to the purchasers around
700 head of the Haxby cattle,
and with these cattle, the pur-
chase price of the outfit goes a
little over the $100,000.00 mark.
The Press desires to congratul-
ate the purchasers of this prop
erty and we are not in the least
surprised to learn that they have
been offered a profit of 100000
for their deal. Western South
Dakota offers many other good
ranch propositions to the eastern
buyer and one good thing about
it is that when any person does
business with Will r. Walpole,
they are assured of honest treat
ment in every way.
1t was some deal, Billy, and we
congratulate all of you.-Kadoka

LOSES THREE HORSES BY DROWNING

On Friday of last week Geo.
w. Hutton met with a most seri-
GUS loss, in the drowning in
Franklin creek of three of his
work horses. After the heavy
rain the creek was high and Mr..
Hutton was driving his horses
four abreast and attempted to
cross the creek but the current
was much stronger than it ap-
peared and all the horses became
tangled with the result that
three of them were drowned. Mr..
Hutton worked hard to save his
horses and thru his efforts suc-
ceeded in rescuing one of them.
The loss is indeed a heavy one
for Mr.. Hutton. .-Kadoka Press.

PATRIOTISM TEST
 OF AMER|CAN|SM

pr. Robert N. Simpson of the First Christian church preached a stirring sermon on "The Hyphenated Citizen at the morning service yesterday. pr. Simpson said in part:
 Patriotism is in the crucible, and mans Americanism Is showing a high or low percentage in the many tests being applied to it-from bread allowance to bond sale. It matters not how good an American a man was yes terday-what of his Americanism .o- of '9S; but is he cheering the fci- lows over there and on the way? Are his symnath.es at the breeca or muzzle end of American guns? The terrific heat of the crucibie held over the fires of war Is revealing a tyre CT pseudo American we call the hyph- enated,' or the fellow who is holding onto Prussian symTathies and Ameri- car citizenship. Our American lie is such mosaic of races and religions that the wonder is not in the discovers of isolated cases of disloyalty but iu the solidarity of our mixed multitudes Tn our guarding against the treach4 cry of the hyphenated citizen we must not forget to be grateful for the loy. atty of those who have erased the hyphen; and wEo do not put a boasted foreign prefix in capitals to the lofs of a hyphen and put the American flank of the compound name in tower case.
 There is the man who puts his hyphen in his church allegiance. He is the fellow with Christ on his lips and antichust in his heart. The power that controls these hyphenated fellows demands much that they soon reveal their disloyalty. Erasing the hyphen is your salvation. You dcn't have to quit eating out of T oish made in Dresden nor kill your daschund, but in every conflict be- tween America and her enemies your loyalty must be unauestionable. You as Christian do not have to foregp the lelpful, harmless recreational things of the world because you are a citizen of Zion. but in the test of loyalty you must strive to be true.

and along the orchard to the little
gate. The Cove seemed empty and
rather forlorn. with the wind creep
ing up the river and rafting the dry
branches of the naked fruit trees.
She stopped for a minute on the
doorstep, hesitating before she opened
the door. Behind her, Seabeck drew
close as If he would shield her from
something; perhaps he, too. felt the
deadly quiet and emptiness Of the
place.
Billy Louise opened the door and
stepped into the kitchen. She stopped
and stood still. so that her slim figure
would have hidden the interior from
the eyes of Seabeck had he not been
SO tall. As 1t was, she barred his
way so that he must stand on the step
outside.
