OUR OWN POETS.

 Oh, to be back on the farm in Octo- Der, After the hurry of summer is OCT. Out of the town so sober, Back to the joys of nature once more. The trees in the orchards are shad- ing to yellow, The aster and goldenrod cover the land. The colors of autumn are everywhere mellow, The wonder of nature is on every hand. An, how the exiles who dwell in the city Long for the farm in the fall of the year. We'll may the country-folk hold them in pity We who are severed from things that are dear.

s Weeks More Of Winter

Winter will be with us for six weeks
more.
So decided the Ground Hog when he
emerged from his winter quarters for
a breath Of fresh air about noon on
Wednesday, mot Tuesday as stated
by local contemporary this week.
Just at the time the sun
had struggled thru the haze of clouds
that had obscured it nearly every day
this winter. He saw his shadow, and
according to the ancient belief, this
will mean that we will have six months
more Of winter.
January went out With a snow storm
in progress and it had all of the as
poets of splendid North Dakota
blizzard, Less than two inches Of
snow fell, however, and the warm DAYS
since the first of February has taken
most of that away. The winter has
been ideal so far, will, very little snow
and less than month of snappy cold
weather. The people who moved
West or South expecting to live in i,
better climate than South Dakota
usually has, lost their bet. And the
same applies to the Coal Man who ex-
pected to sell in the same quantities
as last winter and AT the much in
creased price. The mild weather has
saved from quarter to half of the
coal burned last winter.

following from the Review, which is
a notice from Mr.. Swanson.
Failure of so many applicants for
citizenship at this term of court has
opened the eyes of many to the fact
that they have not the education or

Lecturer PIeases Crowd

The second number of the Iyceun,
course. at the Congregational church
"a lecture 100 Per Cent. Man" by
J. Franklin Babb, of Boston, Mass,
waS conceded by those who heard i;
to he one of the finest that has been
given in this city.
Mr.. Babb is not only lecturer Of
note. an orator of no mean ability,
and an entertainer of high rank, but
he is also a dramatic actor. His point !,
were driven home with all the force
Of cleverlv chosen words and the ai.l
of personification and acting. He
could change in an instant from
swaving his audience from laughter
to deathlike stiffness and misty eyes.
The 100 Per Cent Man" is one who
is man first, and businessman, doctor.
LAWYER or whateevr his work may be,
afterwards The time to train the
man Is when he is d baby, and the
parents should start before he is Il
year old. Mr.. Babb stated that if a
child was not trained to obey instinc-
lively and without thinking before he
was two years old. he never could be
trained.
He condemned the man, who in war
time made one dollar more than he
should have made, and declared in no
uncertain terms the wrath Of the
soldiers and honest businessmen
would certainly work its vengence up
on them.
The next number Of the course will
be March 4th, when the Dixie Girls,
musical entertainer will appear on
platform. The efforts of the church
to give the people class of higher
class entertainment than usually
comes to the city should be appreci-
ated by the citizens and they should
give their heartiest support to such
efforts. The society is somewhat he
low the required amount to cover the
cost of the course and large attend
ance at the remaining numbers viii go
a great way toward reducing this in
debtedness.

Grant Co. Creamery Report

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Grant County Creamery
company was held last Saturday aft
ernoon in the farmers room at the
court house. The report Of the con-
dition of the company was read and
a dividend Of per cent declared. The
creamery is rented to N. J. Volstad.
SO that the only receipts was the rent
from the property.
The same officers were reelected
for the coming year. They are, Ben
Moser, president; 6. H. Stengal, trea-
snrer: Ezra Stengal, secretary; and
H. Lind and Oscar Damerow, direct
ors.
Mr.. Volstad gave partial report
Of his business as follows: $4,000 lbs.
Of butter made during the year, the
largest part of which was used here
in the city: 10000 gallons of ice cream
made, which had wholesale value Of
$4,000. Half Of this amount was used
here and one-half shipped out. The
ice cream was shipped along the Mill
waukee road west as far as Langford
and all along the Sisseton line. Mr..
Volstad also handles eggs and has
shipped large amount Of this pro-
duct.
The creamery is essentially farm
ers business, as it creates market for
the products of the farm as no other
business does. The local creamery
should be supported Ly every farmer
in the com munity as means of in
creasing the value Of Grant county
farms and hence, his own. Mr.. Vol
stad is an experienced buttermaker
and is prepared to handle a large vol
umn of business and can give the best
Of prices.

From Our EXCHANGES

After reading in last weeks Head
light about the value of an acre Of
ice, Drayman Johnson concluded to
start little ice industry of his own.
He secured the contract for putting
no the creamery ice and has orders
from Peever. for ten cars of ice. We
can't see but that the ice on this side
OF the lake is jast Ms good as it is on
the Minnesota side and there is really
no good reason why Ortonville should
get all the ice business. We hope Mr..
Johnson may develope good business.

The lots on which the Telephone

not to rebuild and offered the lots for
sale. The need of the building is i'm
peiative and Mr.. Mittelsteadt decided
to purchase the lots and build.
Money to buy the stock and start
business for the junio.: Mittelsteadt
Bros. will be raised by the sale of
stock in the building which is being
done at this time More than $50, 900
has been subscribed at this time and
there is little DOUBT that enough
money can be .aisea to buy stock anil
start the business going. The stock
is sold in blocks Of 500 and carries
guaranteed return of per cent. for
i've wears after which time the stock
will be purchased if the holder 50 de-

able investment but fills the need of
the business prosperity of the city.
that Of having enough business houses
for the businessmen.
With the Mittelsteadt Bros. out of
business and j. M. Salzle forced out
because of no vacant stores, Milbank's
need OF new business blocks is clearly
shown. The new building will be en-.
titcl. modern, with a fine front and
much longer than the old building.
The second floor will contain six suites
OF Offices. a suggestion for third
floor has been made which could he
used As community hall, dance hall
or meeting place which would hold
considerably more people than any
available meeting place at this time,
but this has not been considered SER
iously
The work of clearing away the
debris and wreckage Of the fire will be
started Immediately SO that the build
ing operations can De started as soon
as possible this spring.

EX.EDITOR OF STANDARD
DESERTS n. P. |. flag

When the Roberts County Non
partisans bot. the Sisseton Standard
they selected Thomas r. Smiley, an
experienced newspaper man, as it's
editor. Mr.. Smiley is a strong labor
union man and was in entire sympa-
thy with the Nonpartisan proposition.
He edited the Standard for some
months and was member of the
inner circle of leaders in Roberts
County. That he was in good standing
among the Roberts county nonpar-
tisans and also the higher ups"
is proved bv the fact that after he
left the Standard he was put in charge
of nonpartisan paper in North
Dakota. Not a line has appeared in
the Standard accusing Mr.. Smiley
of being other than loyal nonpar-
tisan. The editor of the Independent
once suggested to Mr. Smiley that
he might learn few things about
the league in time. That he has is
cvinced by his letter. The letter
came to the Independent unsolicited
and it is published without comment
so that those farmers who were in
duced to join the league can know
what one of the former league leaders
in Roberts county has discovered aft
er intimate association with those who
are at the head of the Nonpartisan
organization.
Mr.. Smiley's letter follows:
