Chamber of Commerce acting in
conjunction with civic associations
of various towns in the State are
preparing to put on cleanup pro-
grams. The time to put a commu-
nifty in sanitary condition is before
the germs are propagated from the
refuse and filth heaps which during
the hot months generate and spread
disease. 1t is not too early for our
own town to become active along
sanitary lines, One source of germ
propagation destroyed at this time
would prevent much sickness and
would be the proberbial stitch in
time in the sanitary sense.

NOT FOR THE GUTTER

John Wanamaker says. IF there
is one business on earth that a
gutter should leave severely alone
it is advertising"
Advertising is the power which
creates sales and builds business.
The natural time to increase ad-
vertising is during what is termed
dull" times.
In this way wise merchants. by
using little extra advertising effort,
keep their sales volume up to
normal.

NOT SATISFIED WITH WILL
Aged Husband Declares He Is Emit
tied to His Full Share of
Wifes' Estate.

Orson Brown, the 97-year-old sur
viving husband of Sylenda ]. Brown,
of Atlantic, refuses to accept the
provisions of the latter's will, by
which he was cut off with a paltry
500. He wants his dover interest
in the estate, estimated to be worth
in excess of $4,000.
The will of the wife was filed for
probate few days ago. Under it the
husband gets but 500, the residue
of the estate going to Mrs. Browns
son Charles Elmer, by former mar
riage, and his children.
In limiting her bequess TO her hus-
band to 500 Mrs. Brown in her will
declared she considered he had "suf-
ficient" means for his needs in addi-
ton to whs.. she was giving him.
The estate left by Mrs. Brown con-
sists of two quarter section farms in
Sphinx county, s. D., besides con-
siderable amount of personal prop
erty, consisting of securities, etc.
Brown claims his share of the estate
is about $4,000.
Mrs. Brown, whose first husband
was of the same name, married Or
son Brown forty-three years ago.
They had no children of their own,
though Orson Brown had several by
former marriage.
1t is said that at the time of her
marriage to Orson Brown, his late
wife was possessed of no property.
She died a week ago in hospital in
Chicago, where she had gone for
treatment. The family home has
been in Atlantic for many years.

FATHER SAVES HIS
DROWNING CHILD

Only quick action saved Florence
Onken, 5-year-old daughter of Fred
Onken, from drowning after she had
fallen from the bridge which spans
the creek at Extra, while at play
with other children.
The little girl was dragged out OF
the stream, swollen from the recent
thaws, Just as she was going down
the last time, and for some time was
unconscious from the narrowing ex-
perience. She has suffered no SER
ious results from it, however, her
only injuries being some bruises.
Florence and some other children
were playing on the bridge over the
stream. They were throwing cans
and sticks into the water when the
little girl leaned too far over and
fell in.
The cries of the other children
did not at first attract attention,
people nearby thinking they were
merely making noise at play, but
finally the father of the girl, who
works at Brayton. but was in Extra
for Sunday. ran to the creek to see
the little girl struggling in the
water, and going down for the last
time. He jumped in and rescued
her, with the help Of one of the
other children.

cADDoCK is EASY WINNER

Earl Caddock, of Walnut, won the
light heavyweight wrestling cham
pionship Of the world at the list
Regiment armory in New York City
Monday night after a thrilling bout
with Jim Londos, the Greek cham
pion. Caddock won with head
scissors and wristlock after 20s:03
of furious action.
In the last ten minutes of wres-
Ting, Londos after having been
severely punished by Caddock took
the offensive. Just before the end
the Greek lunged, grasped Caddock
around the waist and whirling in the
center of the ring, spun Earl around
no less than eight times, finally
crashing his body to the canvas.
1t seemed that Caddock had no soon
er hit the floor than he had a head
scissors on Jim, which he held for
one minute before the Greek could
liberate himself.
As the men came to their feet
Dondos again got a waist hold and
once more he whirled Caddock
around, this time four. times. Sud-
denly Jim crashed Caddock to the
canvas, but the hawklike Caddock
not only was unhurt, but before
Londos could defend himself he
was enmeshed in another head scis-
sors. Caddock added wristlock to
this and at the expiration of one
and one-half minutes the referee
tapped Caddock on the back and
the bout was over.

home to take supper and spend the
evening. About 1880 the people be-
gan to gather and then they realiz-
ed that they were the victims OF a
surprise which had been carefully
planned and carried out by their
friends. The evening was spent in
visiting and music.
Mr.. Andersen settled with his par
ents in Douglas township 3S years
ago. He told In an interesting man
ner of the conditions when they
moved here and the Improvement OF

Rev. G. B. christensen told in his
pleasing way of the growth of Eb-

about sixteen years ago, and the
active part Mr.. Andersen's family
had taken in the work.
Mr.. Andersen and family moved
this week to the Ashby farm in Lee
roy township. Their friends and
neighbors wish them success and
happiness in their new home which,
