Actual form labor, however. is re-

country as degrading. There is no
respect for farm labor, as such, any
more than there is for the work OF a
draft horse Serfdom has passed. but
the serf idea has not been entirely
eradicated-
There are farm laborers in plenty,
just as there are underpaid mill op-

as a farm laborer who lives with the

BODY FOUND
BYRON GARDNER DROWNED IN
LAKE HERMAN LAST FALL.

Yesterday at 3 p. M, the w Gard
ner boys, M. M. and b. j. discovered
the remains of their brother, Byron,
who was drowned in Lake Herman
on the 18th of last November. The
body was partly decomposed and
floating on the surface of the water
near the west shore and about three
fourths of a mile from the bridge.
The two "oung men making the
find called County Coroner r. S.
Westaby and an inquest was he'd,
after which the remains of the un-
fortunate young man were delivered
over to A. G.. Hallenbeck for prepare
ton for burial. Interment took place
at Graceland cemetery at $3.50 this
afternoon.
The deceased was Is years of age,
of a quiet disposition and very indus
trious. He had been employed as
trouble man. for the local automat-
ic telephone exchange. His parents
reside in Iowa, and on account of the
condition of the body were not pres
ent at the ~graveside.
While on a duck hunting trip at
the lake the boat he was in became
swamped a good ways from either
shore. The day was raw and windy
and the waters were in great turmoil.
The body still carried the hunting
belt full of shells and in the pockets
was found the sum of money which
he drew as salary just before setting
out on the days sport. The commu
nifty was shocked at the report of the
young man being missed, yet all felt
sure that his body was in the lake.

who also are employed at the tele-
phone office, have been keeping close
watch along the shores of Lake Her.

disappeared with the coming OF

body came to the surface on Saturday

The casualty is ~saddening to those

lation in knowing that the body has
been found.

been a remarkable one. DR.. Grant

to Rochester by way of Sioux Falls,
and will return to Madison in about
a week with Mrs. Grant.
That any man with vim and deter
mination can make a successful start
in business in Madison holds true in
the case of A. p. Montgomery, of the
local Singer sewing machine office.
He came here from North Dakota
late last fall and within a few days
after getting settled had booked a
number of good sales. His business
has been steadily increasing and just
today shipment of 40 machines has
reached him from the factory. Mr.,
