EGG OPERATORS LOST

According to the The National City
New York; bank bulletin the egg
dealers have been punished during
the past few months. The bulletin
says:
The storage stocks of butter have
been worked down to a low point
but it has been losing year for the
operators. Prices are about where
they were month ago, and repre-
sent a loss of about 20 cents per
pound upon the stored supply The
egg dealers did very well on the
stocks put into storage in the Spring
months of 1920, and which were clos
ed out early in the Winter, but they
have been punished on recent pur-
chases. Eggs have been accumuIa-
ting and have dropped steadily from
II cents per dozen to rs cents, which
is the price ruling at this time. The
Spring crop of eggs is coming in,
and will go into storage about 20
cents per dozen lower than last year.

we found old friends, who had been
neighbors back in the old home in the
town of Plymouth, Litchfield County,
Connecticut. They had found home
in the westrn wild the previous year.
They were Tertius Turner family. I
was happy in finding here my 'chum'

had been play mate in my old home
My recollection is that this was on a
Saturday night and we stayed at Tur-
ner's over Sunday. 1t goes without say
ing that the time passed pleasantly,
on the first Sunday IN Wisconsin, with
my "chum" 1t was to me a grand
sight to look over the vast expanse Of
rolling prairie; as | had never seen
anything more grand than the little
rock hills of New England. This was
the last time l ever saw Henry; and I
know not whether he is living or dead;
but have retained his memory, all my
life, as my best "chum."
On Monday we were on our way
bright and early for Lodi, and crossed
the Wisconsin river at MATHS Ferry,
now Merrimack, before night. re-
member it was dark long before we
reached Baraboo, or Adams, as it
was then called. The children were
put to bed in blankets spread in the
bottom of the wagon, but we did not
sleep much, as we were humping over
the rocky road over the Baraboo
bluffs. But some time between ten
o'clock and midnight we found our
selves at the home of my uncle, in
Baraboo. My uncle was Albert G..
Tuttle of the firm of futile & Mum
son. Here we weresall soon abed and
asleep.

High School Loses to StSSeton

The High school baseball team lost
to the speedy Sisseton team bv a score
OF to 10 last Friday, after gaining a
lead in the fourth inning The game
was lost by errors and poor fielding,
while Sisseton played steller ball all
the way making some grandstand
stabs. The game was scoreless until
the fourth when punched hits netted
four runs for the locals. The fifth re-
versed the score when Sisseton tailed
5 runs thru errors. A wild heave
over third in the eighth enabled Mil
bank to tie the score, but the visitors
again took the lead with two .s.arkers.
The ninth opened wildly and Milbank
crossed home plate with two more big
ones, but was beaten again when the

justified In securing the services of

Annual Report OF Municipal Affairs
G o. presiden o the Councn

To our citizens and to the Honorable
City Council of the City Of Milbank:
Taxation and Finance
In any we'll governed city, taxation
and finance should always command
the most serious consideration. The
progress the world is making in all
lines of endeavor brings to view the
needs for many improvements. Money
well expended, especially upon per-
manent improvements, bring, many
returns which cannot be mea.,ured by
dollars and cents: Under the able
business administrations we have had,
it has been possible for US to keep
our taxes lower than surrounding
towns of the same size have been able
to do.
Conditions now are unsettled and
the purchasing power Of the dollar
has been SO reduced that for the i'm
mediate future, | would recommend
as conservative a policy as is con-
sistent with the natural growth of the
city.
Any desired information regarding
our finances can be secured by study
ing the reports of the City Treasurer
and Auditor We are indeed fortu-
nate in having two such able business
men to serve us in these two impor-
tant Office.
Streets
Il consider that the streets have
been kept in good shape during the
past year, This has been accomplish
ed by the use of the road drag; by
applying gravel and oil where most
needed. Especial attention has been
given to the highways leading into
the City. would recommend con-
tinuance Of this policy.
Sidewalks
This is one of the most important
of our loDl improvements. We have
seen to it THAT all the necessary side
walks and crossings have been con-
structed.
Paving
The first paving contracts have been
completed, with the exception Of about
a quarter of block in front of the
Court House. The Council las tried
in every way possible to protect the
city's interests and we believe the

Steps have been taken and we hope
