| If Mr.. Wheelock consents to run
for the Office | take it he is capable
in every way for the place and worthy
OF every voters hearty support. Mr..
Wheelock by experience and ability
is fitted for the Office. He is worthy
because he is a man who dared and
did march beneath the starry banner
when the southern secessionists tried
TO cut in twain it's planetary system.
Today he has a son who in this world
struggle is a lieutenant in the army
of the United States.
He is worthy because as state sen
ator in this state Mr.. Wheelock was
enc of the few men who first dared
to oppose the old graft ring in the
state government or at least the
lobby ring which ran the state gov
eminent to a large extent in an early
day. Mr.. Wheelock outside of his
army service has spent the major por-
ton of his life in Codington county.

ABOUT CONSTIPATION.

Certain articles of diet tend to check
movements of the bowels. The most
common of these / cheese, tea and
boiled milk. On the other hand raw
fruits, especially apples and bananas,
also graham bread and whole wheat
bread promote a movement of the
bowels. When the bowels are badly
constipated. however, the sure way is
to take one or two of Chamberlain.s
Tablets Immediately after supper.

Mr.. Edward Vance Cooke, poet, has

And stretching out his gnarled hands
He asked us to uphold the state,
Is there a man among us all
Who would not hasten to the call .
And pledge his faith and fate?
Wei, Wilson stands where Lincoln
stood:
His aim is Just, his cause is good,

after this to get that seed corn all

puttering job, though. Well, shall we
not try to select early seed corn any
way. And if a fellow gets some first
class seed maybe 'twould be a good
idea to hold over some bushels a year
or two as a sort of reserve stock.
Oh, well, seed corn at eight or ten
dollars per bushel is no worse than
wheat at 5000 or barley at s1.6O a
bushel or oats at 75c to $1.0O. Pretty
expensive seeding, all around. Even
garden seed, we hear, is considerable
higher this year. Potatoes will be less

City School Notes

On Friday evening, February
1st, the two Sisseton basket ball
teams will meet our two teams
in a "double-header.' The first
game will be called at 500 p. m.
in the high school gymnasium.
The admission will be IS cents.
In both contests real athletic
work will be staged. Our rela-
tons have always been most
pleasant and profitable with Sis
seton but come out and root
for your home team and thus
boost the work Of our athletic
association. Return games will
be played at Sisseton on Febru-
airy 18th. Here is our opportunity
to pull down some victories so
come out and help along.
Considerable interest is being
taken in the coming district and
state declamatory contests. 1t is
to be hoped that a preliminary
contest can be arranged here in
Milbank and that our high school
may be represented in these
inter scholastic activities.
The grade boys arc making
good use Of the gymnasium Sat
urday forenoons and the grade
girls Saturday afternoons. By
this arrangement everyone who
desires to learn to play basket
ball is given an opportunity to
do so. By the time these young
enthusiasts get into high school
we shall have a good athletic as
sociation as a matter of course.

the matter Of a rural express truck
Whether such truck would be of any

Calyx Spray.
Calyx spray is the most important
of all the sprays. Apply the calyx
spray now, says r. G. Herrick, hor-
ticulturist of the agricultural extern
sion forces at Ames. 1t should be ap-
piled as the blossoms are falling and
before the calyx cups are closed. The
great majority Of apple trees will
reach this stage almost any time now.
Very thorough work is demanded
by the calyx spray, because 1t is the
most important sprays of all. 1t is
very essential that it should be APP
piled and at the proper time. The
horticulturists recommend a mixture
of quarts lime-sulfur, 2 pounds ar
senate Of lead paste or pound in the
powdered form, and 80 gallons of
water. Bordeaux mixture may be US
ed for this. spray, but it is not as good
as lime-sulfur. However, If it is US
ed, the mixture should be on $3.50
basis, or pounds bluestone, pounds
lime and so gallons water.
