The large amount of poultry that
is being constantly shipped from

and surprise 10 those who have
not paid much attention to it here

Produce Company shipped 1900
lbs. to the J. H. White Co., of
Chicago. which had been gathe, ed
up on the branch line by Fed
Meyers manager for the comp ny
here. and Mr.. Meyers states that he
has about as much on hand from
this vicinity. the great diffic ty
frequently being to get cars 70
make shipment. The ready e9sh
market which the Produce com any
furnishes for poultry is "a &, 4
thing for the country, and the G. tat
quantities which the company rur-
chase indicates that the farmers ap-
preciate the way the Produce C,n-

For Better Schools.

The Introductory to the drive for
better country schools was made by
DR.. j. L. McBrien, of Wash;nton,
the school extension agent for the
u. S. bureau Of education at the
opera house Saturday afternoon.
and very helpful and enlightening
view Of the school situation in
South Dakota was presented. The
day was cold and stormy and the
attendance was not what it should
have been for the Importance of the
matter under discussion, and the
very short notice of the meeting
probably had some thing to do with
the meager attendance, but those
who were presen: were fully repaid
for turning out. The speaker stat
ed that the present campaign for
improved country schools has its re-
hex effect upon the city schools,
and these are really as much in
terested in the objects sought as
are country schools themselves.
The speaker took up the several
phases Of the country school prob
lem on the following lines:
Equal educational opportunities
for all the children in the state;
Nine months school term as a
minimum for every county and
rural district;
Better qualified and better paid
teachers;
Better school buildings and better
equipment;
High school advantages for the
country boys and girls under the
consolidated system;
A more practical course of study
suited to the needs of rural life.
South Dakota is first among all
the states in it's per capita of banl;
deposits and first in new wealth
each year. but is the 22d state ir
education.
The speaker earnestly advocated
helping the localities where the
people were not able to stand all OF
the financial strain themselves, and
was heartily in favor of state and
government aid to these commun,
ties and states. No American boy
or girl should be denied the privi
lege and benefit of an education
Thursday this week was selected
as the day for the holding of meet
ings throughout the county fo1
better schools.

The campaign has a goa1 of ap-
proximately $50. .000,O0 and 1000

ally planned for 20 millions, but the

ted to increase it to so millions.

great success, is the manager of

The Girl Of My Dreams.
lis Billy Rhodes at Bentley Grand
Sunday. Nov. 2.

1.-The Weed for that is her only
name, has been raised in the wilds
Of the California mountains. ignor-
ant of who her parents are and liv-
ing with the Williams family, typi-
cal product Of the mountains.
1.-The Weed is as pure as the
mountain air. but equally ignorant
OF all but the simplest principals Of
life It is on one of her regular
trips to a neighboring resort where
she goes to sell the farm products
that she attracts the attention of
George Bassett, an aged millionaire,
who is there for his health. Her
simple sweetness quite captivates
him.
First of the real romance enters
the story when Ralph Long, while
driving his car down the
mountains. skids off cliff. The
Weed comes upon him, drags him
TO cave and treats him and then
notifies the resort people. Long is
taken to the city with The Weed
remaining in his memory as the
girl of his dreams" But there
comes another character. Kenneth
Stewart, nephew Of the millicnAlre.
The Weed knows nothing Of
bathing suits and the like, and
takes her plunge in the mountain
pool in natures garb. Stewart
sees her and snaps her and when he
goes back to the city he has the
picture enlarged and hung in the
club.
But in the meantime the old
millionaire is so convinced Of the
beauty of the girls character that
he takes her to the city to educate
her. There Stewart never loses ar
opportunity to force his unwelconle
attentions. 1t is after she has be-
come Bassett's ward and the heires'
to his millions that a landslide
wipes out the Williams home and
a neighbor finds a book in which II
is recorded that the girl is th'
daughter Of Stewart and that he
mother died shortly after abandon
, ing her.
During all this time Long re
mains in a semi-conscious condi
tion in his home next door. ant
there the girl goes into his apart
ment. taking him fresh flower
each night. He believes her" :
dream girl, for the moment h,
awakes and seems to see her she dis
appears through the window.
The information about the girl!
parentage comes into the possession
of Longs chum and he tells Long
who then goes to the club, tears
down the photograph and then ,e
veals the girls identity to the
father. Stewart, heartily ashamed
of his conduct, begs that the gir
never be told and goes away.
In the meantime the millionaire
has formally adopted the girl and
has named her as his heiress. It il
during a party in the home that she
goes to his room to take a plate Of
refreshments and there finds the ole
man dead. In the end. Of course
Long finds happiness with hi:
dream girl.
