HISTORY OF ST. JOHNS PARISH

st. Johns parish is in the eastern
part of the city of Sioux Falls. The
Sioux River, running along close to the
business section of town, forms an
ideal boundary line so that the new
parish comprises the territory east of
this river Mass was first celebrated
in this new parish on Sunday, Feb
ruary 18th, 1917, in vacant store
building known as the Haggar build
ing, located on Eighth street and Web
Der avenue. Father Ryan, then one
of the assistant priests at the Cathe-
dral parish, was detailed to look after
the interests of this parish.
Sometime before this the Diocese of
Sioux Falls had purchased one-half
block of property on Cliff avenue and
Austin street, SO, now with priest at
their service the Catholics of this part
of the City were Immediately interest.
ed in making plans for building either
a church or combination church
and school. 1t was some few months,
however, before actual building opera
lions began, and in the meantime the
store building which we had been u.s.
/ ing Sundays, was rented for store pur-
poses and of course we were notified
to look for other quarters. Even at
that time the east-side had grown to
such an extent that all available build
| ings were filled up. Rather, however,
than interfere with the zeal with
which the people were attending Mass
in their own neighborhood and the
progress they were making towards
having their own permanent church, it
was announced that arrangements
would be made for placing a tent upon
our own property that would serve
the necessary purposes during the
pleasant months of summer and fall
| The attendance at Mass gradually
grew stronger and stronger. 1t was
finally decided to build the basement
part of combination church and
school and put upon this a temporary
roof. Work upon the new building be.
gan imme diately and soon was pro
crossing so satisfactorily that the
contractor promised it's completion by
the first of December, If not before
The outlook was very hopeful, but we
were yet to have our patience tried in
few ways. One crisp Sunday morn
: ing, in the fall of the year, as the
people were coming along to early
, Mass they were amazed to see their
humble little church enveloped in

set fire to the roof and soon all except
the altar and other interior furnish

IT
Help. w..

The interests of the seven Kopac
brothers have grown to such an ex-
tent that it has become necessary
for them to seek the services, of a
man to take charge of their sales
policies and act in the capacity Of
sales manager. Bert Blair, who has
been associated with automobile and
accessory activities for a number of
years, was chosen to fill this posi-
tion. H...
Blair has been connected with the
Ford Motor Car company in va
rious capacities in Omaha and
Cleveland, o. While in Omaha
Blair was in charge of the Ford
Service station. While in Cleve-
land, and also in Portage, O., Blair
was connected with the accessory
end of the automotive business.
The Kopac Bios. operate
branches and service stations at
Norfolk, Columbus, Schuyler and
David City. Neb., and Omaha was
chosen as headquarters location
about five months ago, after consid-
erilfg the advisability of locating in
Minneapolis, Des Moines and Kan
sas City. Plans are being made to
increase the capacity in Omaha and
to do a general wholesale business
from this point. A new building will
be erected very soon.

Farmers Will Always
Use Horses, Declares,
>: Veterinarian at Meet

"While the horse is admittedly a
sort of a back number with the
city folks, he will always have a
place on the farm and will continue
to be considered one of the most
useful of the animals" said Secre-
tary G. H. Glover of the Missouri
Valley Veterinary association that
held its convention in Omaha last
week.
Mr.. Glover lives in Fort Collins,
Colo, where the horse is playing
an important part in farming opera
tions and also vehicle of trans
portation through the mountains.
Speaking of the horse and his fu-
ture, he said:
There is as much of a demand
for good horses as ever. OF course
they are not used to any great ex-
tent in the cities, but the country
needs and must have the horse.
Tractors are coming to be used to
a considerable extend. but they are
practical only on the larger farms.
On the 80 and 160-acre farm they
are not the Thing. Even on the
large farms there always will be
much work that will have to be
done with horses, so, taking it all in
all, the day of the horse is not num-
bered.
Every man likes god horse and
consequently good animals will al
ways be in demand and at good
prices. The war stripped this
country of god horses. As a re-
suit, it will be years before the stock
of horses will be back to normal
and in the meantime the animals
will continue to sell at high prices"

Rubber is a vegetable and grown
under climatic conditions, and, as all
vegetables, some is of fine quality
and some is practically of no wear
ing value. 1t is almost impossible
for the rubber to be accurately tested
in factories when reproduced in the
tread or in the fabric of the most Sc
lect tires. Therefore, with the most
skilled and efficient mechanics and
the very best obtainable stock,
standard tire companies are obliged
to make liberal adjustments on
great number of tires that leave the
factory.
"We therefore, contend that when
the tire has been used, which is the
only practical test, and is still in
good shape after the tread has been
worn completely off, or has been

Planning Board to Consider
94-Foot Plaza on Twen-
ty-fourth South Of
Harney.

A conference between members
of the city planning board and city
commissioners will be asked for
early this week by Chairman George
Morton of the plan board, to disv
cuses a proposal for making a.
foot plaza on, the west side of
Twenty-fourth street just south of
Harney.
Mr.. Morton favors the plan per-
sonally, if it is made a part of the
general plan for widening Twenty
fourth street. He will not recon-
mend adoption of the plaza propo-
sal, however, unless city commits
sioners and apparently, majority
of other citizens approve the idea.
A plaza on Twenty-fourth street
would enhance property values, Mr..
Morton believes. He also believes
very little of the cost of the pro-
posed plaza would be paid by the
city at large.
The plan board expects on Thurs
day to make formal recommended
tions to council for widening
Twenty-fourth street and opening
