IN MEMORIAM

MADELINE LAYCOCk BUTCH
Err, who departed this life three
years ago today, October 81, 1918
Three years ago today dear Made
line,
You have left US,
We thy lost most deeply feel,
But the Saviour needed another
angel
And he our hearts can only heal.
We can never forget you dear Made
line,
While in the world we stay,
For our hearts have never been the
same,
Since you have passed away.
Though we try and still our hearts
ache,
And we do our best to smile
For God will let US come to you
After little while.
God took our Madeline away,
And left her little one here,
To comfort the heart of her mother
Bue she waited in despair.
BY her broken-hearted,

HARD WINTER
ARE BUILDING WARM RETREATS
AND STORING MUCH FOOD.

Sioux City, Sept. 22.-This winter
may be one of the hardest since the
country in the Missouri valley region
was settled. Old timers say that
every indication in animal and plant
life presages a winter whose chilly
blasts will eat coal in a hustling
manner.
Gus Friedman, who has been
fishing, trapping and doing truck
farming up and down the Missouri
river between Council Bluffs and
Yankton since 1875, is one to voice
the general prediction, which has
come from the United States weather
bureau.
Squirrel nests have been built in
many instances to the thickness OF
eighteen to twenty inches, where
thickness of three or four inches us
ually prevails. according to Fried
mann.
The trapper says that seven inches
the greatest thickness in these nests
noted in past years, was seen during
the winter of 1883. when billiards
swept Nebraska and the Dakotas,
claiming so many rural school teach
ers. pupils and lone prairie dwellers.
Forty degrees below zero was no un-
common thing then.
SQUIRRELS usually use sticks, straw
and feathers This year, Mr.. Fried
mann says, in some instances the lit
| tie animals have used mud to plaster
the dwellings together. In the same
tree where the nest is built is usual
lp a hollow, which the squirrel uses
for nuts and also for hibernatlon
when the weather gets so cold thai
it cannot live in its nest. This year
the hollows are filled to overflowine
with nuts. None are being planted
in the ground at the foot of the
trees and the nests are being partlai'
ly filled.

weather that will compel him to re
main in the nest.

MANY TEST WELLS
BEING PUT DOWN
WESTERN SOUTH DAKOTA SOON
TO KNOW If 1T is TO BECOME
AN OIL PRODUCING FIELD.

Pierre, Sept. 22.-Within the next
few months the question of the exist
ence of an oil basin in western South
Dakota, and east of the foot hills will
have been pretty we'll tried out. With
the drill at Standing Butte down in
to the artesian flow ii has been dem
onstrated for that section as Ii has
in many other sections of the state
that no such basin exists above the
artesian flow which carries the gas
supply of the central part of the
state. Drills are dropping along
White river OF test the southern or
Bad Lands section and work is in
progress near Leslie on test holes
which are to be tried out this fall.
The rig is on the ground and drilling
due to start at Blunt next week. and
the contract for drilling near Lem
week All these movements mean
that the central western portion oil
the state will have been pretty vel
tried out before the end of next year
and the dream of an oil field based
on gas supply with the above the ar.
tesian flow will either have been
demonstrated as fact or TO the con
trary before many more months
the Standing Butte well is the farth-
est along of any of the projects, and
if an iol supply lies in that section
of the state should be the first one
to demonstrate the fact.

Sioux Falls, Sept. 22.-Mayor

ants in a suit for the recovery OF
$4,000, which has been instituted
in the Codington county circuit court
by A. H. Cornwell, of Watertown,
who claims to be acting for the civic
league of Watertown. He alleges
that the defendants are personally
responsible for the return of money
paid on contracts as commissions and
discounts for the sale of two issues
of municipal light and power plant
bonds.
The plaintiff states that he does
not accuse the officials of attempted
graft, but has instituted the action
solely on the ground that the Off
cials violated the law in selling muni
cipal bonds at less than par or on
contracts that made the sales equiv
alent to less than par and that the
city therefor is entitled to recover the
difference, which is alleged to amour
