Kerstein Bros. are now located in

Prior to their removal across Center
street last Monday new floors were
laid and the whole interior was newly
painted. Some rearranging was also
found necessary to accommodate
their large stock of tires, bicycles,
accessories, etc. The purchase OF
that building now gives them an ex-
ira large display window and re-

No sooner did they leave the build
ing formerly occupied than it was in
the hands of a wrecking crew. In
fact, all the buildings in Davidson

torn down and moved away to make

ter block and face north. Whatever
line of business is intended for the
proposed new building is sure to
have all the advantages of superior
location.

GruesOme Relic
of the War

Hudson, Sept. 10.--Olaf Void, a
Hudson young man who has returned
to South Dakota after service in
France, has a gruesome relic of the
world war. 1t is piece of steel with
which he was severely wounded dur
ing the fighting in Argonne forest.
He was struck by a piece of shrap-
mel, the sharp piece of steel tearing
through his windpipe and lodging in
lis throat, cutting through flesh and
muscle into the bone. 1t required
five separate operations to remove II
from the point where it had imbedded
itself in the bone. The piece OF
steel, which will be handed down
from one generation to another of
the Wold family, as momento of
the great war and the active partici-
patton of member, Is about two
inches in length, sharp and jagged
edged.

Ducks Swarm Lakes

Pierre, Sept. 10.-When the hunt
ing seaosn opens on the sixteenth of
this month, the duck hunting prom
ises to be much in the line of slaugh-
ter for the first few days, as every
pond and slough is swarming with
ducks, so tame that it will not be any
difficulty to get near them until they
become gun shy. 1t is claimed that
the smaller lakes of the state are
swarming with ducks. and ii is GER
tain that the ponds and sloughs along
the travelled highways show plenty OF
these birds. One man in describing
the situation on one of the small
lakes in the southern part of the state
said there were millions of them
and when the got up it looked like
a flock of black birds scared out OF

THE MADISON
CITY SCHOOLS
LARGEST ATTENDANCE IN
HISTORY OF SCHOOLS

The city schools opened their doors
last Monday to the largest attendance
ever enrolled at the beginning of a
school year. Supt. Ault has the prob
lem of congestion to consider. In
both the high school and the grades
the attendance is exceptionally large
AT the central building three hundred
and forty-five pupils have entered the
junior and senior departments and
this number will be quite appreciably
il creased during the next few weeks.
The three ward schools, located in
different sections of the city, are now
housing three hundred and eighty
two boys and girls in the first six
elementary grades and it is in these
grades the superintendent finds the
greatest congestion. In one of the
ward school rooms the teacher has
fifty-five pupils in her sare. Another
has an enrolment of fifty-six.
There are now 727 pupils receiving
instruction in the Madison schools.
1t is a safe prediction that fou.' hun
dred students will soon be taking ad-
vantage of the opportunities offered
by the high school departments.
The work started off well yester-
day. Monday was given over to en-
rolling, securing books and getting
initial lesson assignments. Every in
dication points OF a successful school
year.
Miss Mary McCleary has not yet ar
rived from Colorado to take up her
work in the junior high school. Miss
Glatz is doing substitute work for
her.

Chancellor Rennes was first to
sign. He was followed by Henry
