Silver Wedding.

A very pleasant surprise was
given Nh. and Mrs. Fred Selle
Sunday Afternoon, when about
fifty of their friend and relatives
gathered at their home in West
Waverly, the occasion being the
the twenty-fifth anniversary of
their marriage. After congratu-
lations the bride and groom"
and the guests gathered in the
house, where Rev. Miller, pastor
of the German Lutheran church.
made some very fitting remarks.
They were married in Nebraska.
August 8, 1894, and moved i'm
meditely to a farm near Waiver
ly. Five years ago they bought a
residence in this city, which has
since been their home. They
have had ten children, eight of
whom are living.
The guests brought well sup
piled baskets and tables we're ar
ranged on the lawn, where all
partook of a most bounteous re-
past of which the variety and
quality could not be surpassed.
Among the many beautiful
cakes there was one decorated
especially for the bride, having
been prepared by her niece, Miss
Emma Aversman.
Mr.. and Mrs. Selle were the
recipients of many beautiful
and useful pieces of cutglass,
silverware and aluminium ware.
The occasion will ever be rem
embered by those present as one
TIE most delightful social
and they fingered until
late in the evening before re-
turning to their homes.

Save Late Cabbage From Worm.

Save Late Cabbage From Worms
The green cabbage worms
have been unusually abundant
this summer and the late crop of
cabbage will suffer if the pest
is not controlled. Where only a
few plants are to be protected
in the home garden, secure a
small quantity of powderer ar
senate of lead and dust a little of
1t over the infested plants. To
make it go further it may be
mixed with equal parts of air.
Stacked lime. Renew it after
heavy rains or as the plants
grow and throw out new leaves.
The University of Missouri Col
lege of Agriculture suggests
that to protect cabbage where
grown commercially, it be spray
ed or busted with poison once
every week or ten days where
the pest is abundant. One pound
of powdered arsenate to so gal
Ions of water to which enough
soap is added to make a weak
suds, should be used as a spray.
The soap helps to make the
spray spread or stick, in place of
running off like water from a
ducks back. The worms consume
a small quantity of the poison a.
long with the cabbage and it
quickly kills them.

GAMES
TO DECIDE The
FATEO OF 5. OAK.
Of State Legislature
Will Have Effect on
Organization.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Dec. 13.-Upon
the action of the next session OF the
state legislature hinges the fate of
organized baseball in South Dakota.
At the present time there is in ef-
feet a law which holds that baseball
should not be played on Sunday. Dur
ing the 1920 season aid during every
other season since this particular act
was enacted, however, Sunday base
ball has been played.
Now. with tentative plans already
arranged for the 1921 season, towns
and cities supporting state league
teams have had their attention at
tracted by an announcement by Attor-
ney General Byron S. Payne that he
VIII suggest to the next session of
the legislature. which convenes III
January. that the present a%nti-Sunday
baseball law be repealed or legislation
adopted enabling its enforcement.
AS was indicated last season, with
out Sunday baseball the South Dakota
State league would exist but a short
rectors assert hal it is improbable
that the state circuit would even open
a 1921 schedule should the state law
makers take action calling for strict
enforcement of the anti-Sunday base
ball act.
Not one club of the eight in the
circuit would be able to withstand the
financial strain without Sunday games,
it was estimated, as the average week
day a~ttendances in the state loop Were
far insufficient during the 1920 season
70 finance the circuit. \
Even with Sunday baseball and its
stimulating effects to the financial
side of the circuit. reports from the
various clubs show that in a majority
of cases deficits We're shown in the
final accountings with only two clubs
claiming earnings for the year. In
both of these instances the profit
| was only Il few dollars.
Amateur and semi-professional
baseball also is practically dependent
| upon Sunday baseball in South Da-
kota. In past years schedules OF
teams in this class have always beer
! based on the week end games. +.
In the Sunshine league. an indie
