Mr.. and Mrs. Dick Rudebusch re-
turned Monday from Pilger, Neb.,
where they were called by the death
of Mrs. Rudebusch's brother. They
had good trip and found the crops
of small grain not so good in many
places as they are around home, but
the corn seemed a little further ad-
vanced.

the home of Mr.. Girman's mother and
with other relatives. Their many
friends hope that they will find some

tertown, in the interests of the Brook
ings Produce Co. The extension OF
this company's business is very rapid
and in addition to the weekly trips
of his son, Leo Weaver, over the
territory, Mr.. Weaver finds that an
occasional trip by him is also a good
advertisement for his company and
for Brookings.
Prof. Manley Champlin of State
College says that if all the weeds
are cultivated out or moved off for
three or four years in succession, that
they will make mighty little trouble.
This must be done all through the
community in order to get rid Of the
weed seeds Even on the farm the
weed problem will be greatly reduced
by thorough work Of this sort if con-
tinued for several years. One years
work will hardly do as the dormant
seeds must be disposed of by work
for several successive years.
Mr. and Mrs. I. H. Dybdahl, accom-
Sunday by train for Jackson. Mich,

| ne is agent, and they will return in
new auto from there. They plan
to visit Chicago and other intermedi-
ate cities on the trip and will take
their time on the return to enjoy the
journey They will probably be gone
from the city for about a couple of
weeks.
Albert Martinson, better known TO
all of his associates by the nickname
of Slim" returned home Thursday
night having received his discharge
from the service. He was with the
railway service across in France and
has been there for much over year.
He was engaged in the active opera
ton of trains and had an experience
in railroading that will perhaps be
sufficient to last him the rest of his
natural life. Being an old hand at
the business as an employee of the
C.. & n. W. Railway, he could give
the government real service and as
they always do, they used him in all
manner of ways to handle the matter
of transportation. He is looking well
and seems to have stood the hard
work and long hours without much
bad effect. We are all glad to see
him home again.
