almost at their full capacity, accord
ing to Charles w. Henderson, of the

Department of the Interior. II oper-
ations continue throughout the year
at the same rate as during the fi,st
six months this mine will produce
s1,500,000 more gold in 1921 than
in 1920. The first six months, pro-
duction Of the Trojan mine also in.
dicates an increased output in 1921.
According to the manager Of the
Homestake mine, 1880 feet OF
openings are excavated yearly. under
normal conditions, in developing
known ore bodies and prospecting
new ground. During 1913, 1919.
and 1920 this work was reduced to
about $500 feet. It will take sew
eral years development to bring the
output Of this mine back to that of
the record year. 1917. when 1t was
$s.s1s.574.

That the world is small place
after all was again brought with
EARRING force on our sensibilities
when news came Saturday of the
fatal leap which had been taken by
our states attorney, Frank r. Nc
Kenna. that day. Long ago peop'e
cast suspicious eyes when ever Frank
was seen in company with some
sweet young lady, but gradually
every one gave him up and consign-
ed him to the rank and file of bach
elorhood. Altho, on this occasion.
he and his bride, who was formerly
Miss Elizabeth NJ. Chmel, of Peever,
hied themselves to Bowdle where tic
nuptial knot was securely tied by
Rev. Father ~Kettler, the news leap
ed back to Sisseton, where their
numerous friends are waiting to re-
ceive them. For several years Frank
has been successful lawyer here,
and Of late has very creditably filled
the Office Of states attorney.
Miss Chmel, we understand is a
school teacher, and a young lady of
unusual accomplishments.
The Standard Joins their friends
here and elsewhere in wishing them
everything they wish themselves.
We are sorry that information and
details are SO lacking in this case,
but what can feller expect-it's a
secret, and we have already said
more than we should have-about

About fourteen miles southwest o.
Sisseton. in the territory between
Dry Wood and Buffalo Lakes, the

years, but recently this church has

NORTH DAKOTA
WHEAT POOL. IS
GROWING FAST
Contracts Representing 5000, 900
Bushels Already Signed by ~
Farmer

Grand Forks. N. D., July 10
Pooling contracts representing at
least 3.O00.0 900 bushels Of wheat have
been signed up by North Dakota
Wheai Growers association, accord
ing to figures given out today at the
Headquarters of the association.
Three hundred thousand acres are
represented in the contrcts, and it is
figured that a yield of at least 10
bushels to the acre can be safely
counted on. In some counties, such
as Burke and Mountrail, in when
a large number of contracts have
been signed up the yield will un-
doubtedly be much higher than this
and the amount of wheat contracted
for by the association correspond
ingly greater.
In Mountrail county alone, con-
tracts have been signed for the prod
uct of $4,000 acres Of land and in
Burke county the success has been
practicallysas great. The campaign
has also been highly successful in
Wells county, 10000 acres having
been signed up.
Grand Forks county has signed up
with $4,000 acres, according to the
last check up.
The North Dakota Wheat Growers
association has AZ men in the field
and the organization work is being
pushed rapidly. According to the
statements given out at headquarters
about half OF the counties OF the
state have been partially organized.
The contracts are being signed on
five-year basis and provide for the
pooling Of all wheat except that re-
tained for seed. Under the plan Of
the .Nbeat Growers association,
stora g. tickets will be issued against
the wheat thus pooled and the man
ayers believe that it will be possible
in this way to pay the farmers, thus
delivering wheat at least IS per cent
of the selling price soon after deliv-
cry.
The plan is to be financed through
the local banks.
Thirty million bushels is the
amount which has been set to be
contracted for in North Dakota.

Peever Has
Picnic; w by
NOtSiSSetOn?

The barbecue and picnic at Peever
Thursday OF last week was a great
success in every particular, and
large crowd was in attendance from
all parts of the county. The pro-
gram was carefully prepared and
full of interest throughout. One of
the many features of the day was the
ball game between Rosholt and the
Peever Indians, which resulted in
score of 81 in favor of Peever.
There was something doing all the
time in the way of contests, races,
etc., and everybody who attended
seemed we'll pleased. This is only
further evidence of what any town
can do if the proper effort and en-
thusiasm is put forth. SissetoM
might just as we'll have one or two
such celebrations each season. There
is no legitimate excuse to the con-
trary. The average citizen is literal
ly starving for diversion and amuse-
ment, and 1t is up to the towns to
provide things OF this sort. This
fact was demonstrated with convinc-
ing emphasis couple of weeks ago
when the circus came to town, and,
much to the surprise OF many of our
calamity-howling citizens, who were
prophesying there would be no one
here to see the circus for the very
good reason that there was no money
in the community, the show was at
tended by an overflow audience, and
they did not gain entrance on credit
nor with post-dated checks, either.
They had the money and were will
ing to spend it in order that the mon
otony of the daily routine may be
broken. There is nothing new about
circus. It's the same old line of
humbug and graft, but we go just the
same because the makeup of the
average human being is such that q
change in the common course of
events is necessary to happiness, and
to our mental and physical we'll be.
ing. There is no reason why Sisseton
could not get together and give tho
people Of the surrounding territory
rousing celebration. The people in
the country want it and the people
in Sisseton would enjoy and profit
by something of the sort. The pres
ent is seasonable for celebration
right here in Sisseton and the field
an inviting one. Why not the COM
mercial club get together on q. move
ment Of this sort and DO IT. Just
tuck the calamity stuff under your
back hair for while and give the
people something else to think about.
Hard times is something like the
heat. The more one broods over the
matter the worse It hurts.
