Produce Co. Not To Sell.

4 rumor to the effect that the Mil
bank Produce company contemplated
selling out was emphatically denied
oy the maaa2er, Fred Meyers, who
stated that the past years business
Of the company mas been the best that
they have ever had and that they
were moe than aatisfed with the
growth Of the business.
The business was recently sold to
TWO Ortonville men, Messrs. Tracy and
Schumacher, who own and operated the
largest produce buying business in
that city. They have branches and
buyers in all of the towns and cities
along the Fargo branch line nearly to
Fargo and have loaded almost a car
every week from that branch. The
Milbank business controls the produce
business along the Sisseton branch line
and has huvers and representatives
west and north OF the main line as
far as Cogswell, S. D. In this way the
buyers are able TO start an empty car
at the end Of the line and before it
reaches either Milbank or OrtonvilIe
the car is filed. The company has
shipped on the average of two cars
every week and some weeks three cars
The produce is sent to the eastern
markets where it commands a much
higher price than in the Minneapoli,
or Chicago markets. Therefore the
company is able to pay a higher price
for the farmers produce here and he
is the gamer by it.
Mr. Meyers states that the business
for the past year has been fine and
shows steady increase over the past
years business which he thinks is an
indication that he has satisfied his
customers.

GRAND OFFICERS

The Odd Fellows and Rebekahs of
the Milbank lodges had very en-
joyable social gathering at their hall
last Monday. The occasion was a Wis
it from several of the grand officers
and past grand officers of South Da
kota. Among these were Grand Mas
ter, c. +. Palmer, of Brookings, Mrs.
Maud NJ. +. Elliot, of Vermillion,
President of the Rebekah Assembly
F. B. Raymond, Past Grand Mas
ter of the South Dakota jurisdiction,
and J. NJ. Patton, Past Grand Master,
and editor of the Odd Fellows World.
During the afternoon grand lodge
Was opened and past grand degrees
were conferred upon several members
of the local lodge. In the evening the
Robekahs met with the Odd Fellows
in open session and the visiting grand
officers each gave short folks on the
history Of the order, and the work
that is being done for the orphans and
aged Odd Fellows at the Odd Fellow
home at Dell Rauids, which is sup
ported by the fraternity in South Da-
kota. The home is now sheltering
some nineteen orphans and half
dozen aged members of the order, and
is recognized as one Of the most bene--
cent institutions in the state, the
children having as near as possible
the benefits of real home, with NOR
al and religious training and attend
ance at the public schools of Dell
Rapids. Two of the grand officers
have been connected in an official ca
pacity with the home ever since its in
teptiOn, and they related number
of incidents in relation to the work of
the 'home'' and the mission il is ac-
cofnplishing for humanity, to show
that TO visit the sick, bury the dead
and educate the orphan" is not a
meaningless slogan in the mouths of
South Dakota Odd Fellows. At the
conclusion of the program light re-
freshments were served by the Re-
bekahs.
The visiting grand officers went
from here to Corona. Wilmot, Sisse-
ton and Big Stone, where they held
similar gatherings. They have al
ready spent one week in this work and
expect to spend the rest of the month
in the same manner.
