The case against Williams, who was
charged with incest, was dismissed
when former States Attorney Hutchin
son, made an affidavit that the prose
cution did not have sufficient evidence
to convict. 1t is to be regretted that
any action was ever taken in this case,
the only result obtained was to stir
up the Indignation Of the people of
this community, and entail a heavy
expense on the county and the one
charged with committing a crime, and
all because some one in authority
blundered. If we remember correct
ly, the was a court OF inquiry held in
Wood at the time, and if there wa.
not sufficient evidence brought out tc
make conviction reasonably certain
the man should never have been al
rested 1t would have saved the ia,
payers of this county big bill OF e,
pense.

General Secretary of the Woman's de
partment Of the Congregational Home
Missionary Society is to make a tour
of the Rosebud next week and is
scheduled to speak in many of oLr
towns and villages.
She is a woman OF national reputa
ton and her broad experience in home
missionary work has given her a mes
sage that we want you to bear. Her
commences, personality, manner of
delivery and VITAL MESSAGE
have so gripped her hearers that she
now is constantly wanted as a speakec
throughout America.
The Wood Ladies Aid will meet
on Thursday the 9th with Mrs. Geo
Moore and it is expected that Miss
Woodberry will spend the afternoon
with the ladies. All ladies are urged
to be present at this meeting and get
the education ard the inspiration that
this leader of American missionary
work can bring. Don't hesitate to
come because you are not a member
for you ale always welcome.
We are fortunate to have Mis-:
Woodberry with us for the entire day
but this is part of her great field and
she has an interest here that perhaps
is better known to the pastors family
than to any other and it is this large
interest in us that is bringing her here
and | trust that our interest in hel
work and her message and our welfare
will draw us until the hall is filled tc
overlooking.
The public meeting will be ir the
Legion Hall on the evening of June
at 800 p, m.

WHAT CAN l DO FOR WOOD?

What can | do to help Wood?"
Here are some things you can do.
Talk about Wood.
Write about it.
Advertise It,.
Make the knocker prove his case
You will generally find he has none
to prove.
Keep houses we'll painted.
Clean up the yards.
If poor man starts a protest help
him.
If rich man starts a project, en-
courage him.
If you are wealthy invest in some
thing and employ somebody.
If an enterprise looms up to improve
the town, don't hoot, investigate.
Don't permit your personal antipa.
thies to get away with your business
judgment.
Follow the men who have energy
and vim to forge ahead and "saw wood
Be courteous to visitors under all
possible conditions. When you are,
visitors leave with good impressions
Of Wood.
Never fail to cheer on the man who
makes provements.
Don't be afraid to stick your hand
in your pocket for money to assist
public enterprise. You owe some
thing to your community,
DO your part, then, as a citizen.
Count for something in the affairs of
your town. Pledge your word and
honor, that SO long as you reside in
Wood. it shall be your constant aim
to "boost" 1t in every way you can;
that you will not "knock" but will do
all you can for every public enterprise
that has for its object the best inter.
ests Of the community.
