Mr. Joyce replied that he was at a loss to accept such praise, as without the cooperation he had with the substantial citizens he could never have succeeded. He also said that his work mostly engineered by Mrs. Joyce, who had been a business companion to him throughout the past two years, and that Nell should be entitled to all the credit. The banquet was served and as a good night toast, Nell appeared with their little son of four weeks old, saying, Drink to Wrangell, the most progressive city in Alaska and also drink to our firstborn Wrangell Joyce.

Lew Joyce, Mayor of Wrangell, who lives at 1245 First avenue is given a big surprise upon his birthday, it also being the anni- versary of the arrival of MT. and Mrs. Lew Joyce at Wrangell.

Presbyterian Church

Rev. Thomas ]. Simons, Minister.
That decided increase in attendance
on the School last Sunday was an
inspiration. DO it again next Sunday,
and better for it is the steady per-
Torrance that counts the biggest. We
thank you for the attendance on the
preaching services too. 1t was very
encouraging to the preacher. The an
them of the morning and the solo by
Professor Cooper in the evening we
thought above the ordinary.
Next Sunday morning the theme of
the sermon will be Objects of Chris
ton Thought. The Adult choir will
sing. In the evening Silent worship
will engage our attention. The Junior
choir will lead in the music. They
are going to begin to sing Before
Christmas or Advent music. We have
some beautiful songs on the hope of
the devout.
These notices are, we hope, an en-
enlargement to your attending the ser
vices of the day. You surely are in
vited.
The minister, a quorum of the SEES
sion and a quartette choir went to

BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB

Two Hand County Boys and Girls
Club members, Ellis Reeves and Dola
Carr, have just returned from the
international Live Stock Exposition at
Chicago. They were part of a party
of sc boys and girls, which spent the
week in Chicaog under the chaperon-
age of the Boys and Girls Club De-
partment at Brookings.
: The young people, after viewing the
cream of United States and foreign
livestock, were entertained royalty by
different organization. They visited
Marshall Fields and other department
stores, were taken through one of
ChicagO's largest packing houses, Wis
tied the Art Museums, parks AMI
many other places Of interest. 1t was
a wonderfully educational trip and one
which, every one of the young people
enjoyed.
These sc boys and girls won this
TIP through their achievement at the
Boys and Girls Club Fair held in con-
n~ection with the State Fair at Huron.
Ellis Reeves made the highest score
in live stock judging and Dola Carr
carried off first place in the Baby Beef
contest.
Many new Boys and Girls Clubs
are being promoted, in Hand County,
in come ction with the Farmers Com
munity Clubs. Who will be the club
members to go to Chicago next year
and why can we not arrange to send
six instead of two? Parents should
help the young people in this work.
A more educational trip for farm boys
and girls, free of charge, can hardly
be imagined.

Gov. Norbeck May Serve
On Senate Committee

washington, Dec. 3.-Governor Nor
beck, as the new senator from South
Dakota, will probably be asked TO
serve on the senate committee on agri-
culture. The state is now represented
on this committee by Senator Johnson.
Tn the new congress, if Norris, is made
chairman Of the committee, as expect
ed, with Kenyon ranking member and
Norbeck n of the members, middle
western interests will be pretty fully
represented. Moreover, Capper, of
Kansas, is on the committee.
This question of representation on
the committee on agriculture is going
to be of the utmost Importance in the
new congress, inasmuch as a series of
hard agricultural problems will press
for consideration and action. Repre-
sentatives of farm organizations are
anxious to see that the middle west be
strongly represented on the committee
feeling they have little to expect from
the eastern members.
1t is not particularly a question of
craftsmanship but rather a question of
whether men on this committee have
an understanding of the developments
of the last two or three years in Am
erican agriculture.

DON'T EXPECT TOO MUCH
E. II. Aicher,
County Agent.

Manson Uowa) Journal: During
the next few months there will no
doubt be come who will be disappoint-
ed because all the evils they have COM
planned of in the past are not cured
by the latest republican victory. 1t
may not be out of place just now to
relate an incident connected with the
election of Mckinley in 1896. At that
time the country was in a deplorable
condition. Corn was selling at about
Is cents and hogs $50 to $40. Some
six weeks after election an old farmer
living neaT Jolley wrote to Dolliver to
remind him of his promises during the
campaign that the election of McKin-
Icy would bring about a better condi-
ton. Dolliver, with his usual ready
wit. wrote back as follows: Dear
Friend: Your letter at hand. Now
as to getting out of the condition
which the democratic party has gotten
us, it is like attempting to drive
through He'll slough near your place;
you know you can get farther into that
slough in five minutes than you can
get out in six weeks. We have been

and it is going to take some time to
get out"
