Salvation Army Fund Completed.

The county commissioners voted
to turn over $1,000 of the fund
which they have had in charge. to
the committee in charge Of the Sal
walton Army campaign. This will
bring the amount to $4,000. which
was the quota given to the county
to raise. About $500 was collect
ed by solicitation and by the three
tag days during the fair. Lack of
cooperation and interest in the
campaign is responsible for the
poor showing which the county
made, according to the chairman,
Rev. S. P. Jones. The fact that
the county fund was obtainable
saved the good name Of the county.

Information About Your Insurance.

Many of the soldiers and sailors
who dropped their War Risk Insur-
ance when they were discharged
from the service have found out
that they would do better to have
it. According to the latest in
formation from the Bureau they
can do so by paying two months
premium provided they have not
been discharged more than IS
months. The only two conditions
imposed are: the applicant must be
in as good health as the date of dis
charge or at the expiration Of the
grace period, and must pay two
monthly premiums. The two pre-
miums are for the month following
the lapse OF the insurance, known
as the grace period and for the
month in which the application for
reinstatement is made. Thus. if in
January 1919 you dropped $40, 900
and in August, 1919, you wish to be
reinstated for all or part, it would
be necessary for you to pay for the
month of January and for the month
Of August. Frank Boerger. cashier
of the First National bank has re-
ceived blanks for reinstatement or
for conversion of the insurance and
will be glad to help any Of the men
wishing information upon the SUBJ
ject. He has the government rate
book of the converted insurance and
you will be able to find out what it
will cost.

State Offers Course to Rural
Teachers.

A correspondence course for the
rural school teachers has been or
ganized by the state college, the de-
tails Of which are given in the
letter from DR.. w. E. Johnson,
president Of the college. The
course is great advantage to
rural teachers, and is CO. operation
with the Better Rural Schools
movement which is sweeping the
state. A circular copy of the letter
has been sent to all Of the teachers
in the county by the County super
intendent and undoubtedly the
teachers will take advantage of the
course when ever possible. Ten Of
the teachers received the short
course training in Vitalized Agri-
culture at Sioux Falls last fall, in
preparation for teaching the subject
this year. ~Phe letter follows:
Brookings, S. OAK, Oct. TO-
"The agricultural correspondence
courses that will be offered by the
State college for teachers this fall
will be. of distinct service to the
state, by showing rural teachers
how they may create greater
interest in farm life.
'South Dakota State college is
more interested in the teaching of
agriculture than any other institu-
tion in the state. This is perfect
ly natural as it is one of the princi-
pal functions of the institution. 1t
is my belief that the young people
who need agricultural most are boys
and girls in the rural schools.
They are living on farms, they are
interested in farm life; tho, in
many cases they are acquiring 8
| dista ste and dislike for it.
1.-The hack ground Of the life o1
the rural school is agricultural.
Rural teachers who have had nc
! training in agriculture, who are
not interested in agriculture not in
sympathy with life conditions which
necessarily obtain in rural COM
munities. will render very little
valuable service in rural schools.
To be of servi ce to such teachers
we are offering these correspondence
courses in agriculture and home
economics which lead to college
credit.

Big Stone Pioneers Meet in S0cial
Catherine.

The editor of the Herald Advance
and his chaperon enjoyed reunion
gathering of the early day settlers
of Big Stone City, which was held
last Sunday at the S. C. Jones home
in Wilmot. Among others of the
old timers who enjoyed the gather
ing we're: Mr.. and Mrs. F. w.
Thorndike, Mr.. and Mrs. j. A. Gold
and Mr.. and Mrs. Conrad Puder
I from Big Stone. Mrs. Thos. Daw-
son from Appleton, and Mr.. and
Mrs. j. A. Munro and Mr.. and
Mrs. D. S. Cable of Wilmot, and
Mr.. John Movius and Miss Mary
Movius. of Lidgerwood, N. D.
The last mentioned two had been on
a trip from Lidgerwood to Odessa,
Mimi, visiting their sister, Mrs.
Seine. and on their return trip to
their home reached Wilmot in time
to greet these old friends and en-
Joy with them the happy occasion.
The Movius family were among
the first white people to settle at
the foot of the lake, taking a gov
erment claim on land on the
Minnesota river bottom few miles
below Big Stone in 1870, while the
real settlement Of the country did
not commence until nine or ten
years after that, when the railroad
made its advent and crossed the
Dakota line.
Amcng old timers who had been
invited to the gathering, but who
had been compelled to send their
regrets were John Craig Of Mime
apolis, and Frank A. Eldridge, Of
St. Paul.
One Of the interesting features
Of the gathering this year was
some vivid "reminiscences by j. A.
Gold in regard to the early days of
the Gold Bros. partnership and the
beginning of the land and loan
business, which has since devei ,ped
into the great land mortgage and
banking business of the Coli Sc
curities Co.. now one Of the reat-
est institutions of the kind in the
northwest.
The old timers are all pretty
we'll agreed that it was J ,ndly
providence that directed tn u in
the days of their youth to Sc nigh
ly favored country as this great
northwest; not the least cf the
hlaasiQgs it bestowed bein. the

road was made easy and enjoyable
by mutual helpfulness and social
cheer. we'll drink a cup Of

Increase OF Business Demands
More HELD.

The big increase of business for
the hardware firm Of ]. C. Tessin e.
Son has made it necessary for the
firm to secure the services of C. r.
Meacham. Mr.. Tessin stated that
they have been unable to rush the
work rapidly enough to handle it
and it became necessary to secure
help. Mr.. Meacham is an expert
enced hardware man. from st. Paul.
known to some Milbank people. as
he has been with the firm before.
He has gained his experience from
work in both wholesale and retail
hardware stores and concern and
from the factory itself. Mr.. Tessin
is very fortunate in being able to
secure the services of Mr.. Meacham
and will now be prepared to handle
every kind of work.

Former Milbdnk Man in Automobile
Accident.

The WatertoWn Herald this week
announces the death Of Milton
Grow, the young son of Mr.. and
Mrs. F. C. Grow Of that city, who
was run over while attempting to
cross the street by an automobile
being driven by F. H. Mills, the
Applet IN hotel man. The boy lived
for about two weeks. but was un-
conscious all the time. The Water
town paper speaking Of the mat
ter says:
A coroner's inquest was held over
the body Of the young boy last Sat-
urday evening. and after having
listened to the evidence in the case
the jury returned a verdict to the
effect that death resulted from
certain injuries received from an
automobile being driven by one F !.
H. Mills Of Appleton Mimi, which
injuries and the resulting death
might and in the Judgment Of the
undersigned Jurors could have been
avoidedd by the exercise OF ordina-
ry care and prudence on the part of
said F. H. Mills
At the time of the accident. Mr. !.
Mills claimed he did not see the boy
in the street owing to the passing
of motor truck. and that when he
did see the boy it was too late for
him to stop his car.
While the verdict of the jury holds
that Mr.. Mills failed to exercise
proper care in driving his car in
this instance, no finding Of any
criminal negligence or liability for
the boys death was made against
the Minnesota man.
Whether or not any action will
be started in the case is unknown
at this time.

Street Work viii Start.
Crushed Rock Arrives and Work will
be Rushed, Everything in
Readiness.

The crushed rock which has been
on the way for weeks, arrived in
the city the first of the week and
work upon the Main street paving
will be pushed as fast as it can.
The rock was shipped sometime
ago. according to word received
from the shippers, but has been de.
layed upon the road somewhere.
The teams in the employ were set
to hauling the rock to the mixer
which is set on Fourth avenue, one
block from the Court house. The
two blocks, one each way will be
paved first, with the intersection
last. Then the mixer will be mov-
ed to Second avenue and the two
blocks will be paved from there.
The block by the station will be
paved last. Mr.. Stevenson stated
that the paving would take about
ten or twelve days if everything
worked right and at the least two
weeks. The grading of the first
two blocks has been completed. A
large tractor has been brought here
to level and pack the street before
the work of paving starts. The
level of the street will be consider
ably lower than it was, it being
laid out according to drainage sur
vey. The sidewalk on the east side
of the street will have to be lowered
in places and raised in others.

USELESS WASTE
One Potato Damaged in Dig.
ging Causes Others to
Rot Badly.

How potatoes are wasted between
farm and kitchen will be shown in a
picture story from the bureau OF mar
keta in the government exhibits at
the Tri-State fair Sept. 20-27,
Beginning with n potato injured by
u fork In digging, this panel shows how
rot develops In che injury and how such
potatoes packed with others, or with
potatoes that are diseased, result IN
immense quantities Of potatoes aTriv-
ing at market unfit for food. Potatoes
are wasted by careless handling, grad
ing and packing, and this exhibit points
out that such scenes as those showing
cars Of potatoes being thrown away at
large market centers are all too COM
mon.
Another set OF four pictures shows
how many different kinds Of hampers,
round baskets and market baskets are
now In use for handling fruits and vege-
tables; also how this number could be
cut down by standardixing on a few,
sizes which cover all the needs Of
shipper and dealer. The present large
number Of sizes Of such containers re-
suits in confusion at markets and does
not make for economical marketing of
fruits and vegetables,
Another set Of pictures illustrates
how butter and syrups may be shipped
By parcel post, and shows a basket OF
vegetables sent TO the city on Saturday
in time for Sunday dinner, A picture
Of sausage packed for shipment By
