Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew Harman of
Carpenter, South Dakota, were the
guests OF Mr.. and Mrs. G. l.. Adams,
last Friday. Mr.. Harman had been in
Chicago to attend the political con-
vention held last week. He represen-
ed many thousands of well-to-do farm
ersers who are members of the Nom
Partisan League of South Dakota. He
tells US that the delegates of the var
ious organizations which met in the
Illinois metropolis had great time
coming together on some sort of a
platform and after many days of hag-
ceiling the Non-partisan Leaguers and
the Labor element formed platform
as Farmer-Labor party, and named
their candidates for president and
yice-president Mrs. Harman was
formerly Miss Cressy, of Manchester,

husband have resided in South Dakota
III. s. Tubbs, and his son, Harry,
had close call from serious injury
one day last week. 1t appears that
Mr.. Tubbs had driven to Iowa City
with his Hudson Super-Six, and dur
ing the evening he and his son drove
into one Of the parks near the city.
Soon after driving into the park a
high wind, almost cyclone, came up
and blew down large oak tree, which
fell almost on the car. One limb
of the tree struck the right read fen
der, and left its mark. Had the car
been back a few feet, the tree would
have wrecked the machine and SER
iously injured Mr. Tubbs and his son.

Mr.. and Mrs. w. c. Blake are spending
a couple of weeks in Chicago. They

During the two weeks they will visit
numerous points of interest, within
reach of Chicago by car. We are
glad that Brother Ram and Mr.. Blake
could be persuaded by their wives to
take a much needed rest from their
arduous tasks, and we hope that when
they return from their vacation trip
that theyewill lis able 10 stand up un-
der the load of business cares which
both are trying to carry.
