SCHOOL NOTES.

The members OF our book keeping
class are quite interested in their
work.
We received two complete sets Of
maps this week and mdpof the state
We also received a mannikin for use
in teaching anatomy.
Our attendance is steadily increas-
ing Ell Sinkler, who for the past
month has been attending the Dallas
High School, enrolled Tuesday.
We expect to play foot ball this fall
We took several of the boys to Winner
last Friday To see the game between
Winner and Dallas. They had never
seen a game and were quite excited
over the trip. Mark PAYNE is coach
ing our boys.
After silence of several months we
again resume this method Of inform
ing our patrons as to the doings OF
the school. In way of introduction,
We wish to submit declaration of
principals. We believe the ultimate
object Of IN education is to prepare
the individual for more efficient liv-
ing: that in order toattain this end 1T
is necessary to select the course that
will best meetthe needs Of the par
ticular section in which the individ-
ual is living and will probably con
tinue TO live. We believe in good
clean atheletics and believe they can
be made a powerful factor IN getting
better results in persuance of the "a
dopted course of study. We believe
that a good physique is the greatest
asset any individual may have in pre-
pairing for lifes battles. We believe
in developing In the pupil the ability
to express himself ir public without
embarrassment. To attain this END,
we believe public debating, declami-
tory work, dramatization aud kind

There is to be a railroad meeting
held at Dellas, s. D., at 500 O'Clock
sharp this (Friday) evening, for the
purpose oil boosting the project of in
ducing the Great Northern railroad
to build their line from Huron this
state to Denver, thus giving US more
direct connection with Minneapolis
aud Denver. The Commercial organ /.
izations down the line seem to think
that there is some chance of inducing
the Great Northern to build, and the
object OF this meeting is to boost the
projec: and work up some enthusiasm
We need more railroads in this part
of the state, and il this proposed line
is actually built, it would tap the Rose
bud country and give us much better
marketing facilities than we no enjoy
This is certainly some beautiful fall
weather we are having just now,

FROM PEDDLERS PACK TO MODERN
STORE"

Sundays Sioux City journal con
tanned three column illustrated
write up headed From Peddlers Pack
TO Modern Store" which have the life
story Of one Of the big stores of that
city. Ittook that peddIer forty years
to develop the store and business they
are now enjoying. Well we could
write a similar article about one OF the
stores here in Wood. In 1912, when
"" came to Wood. Chas. Abourelk
was carrying peddlers pack and
peddling his wares from house to
house. His travels covered the Rose
bud and Pine Ridge Indian Reserva
tons, and he has wide acquaintance
over the western part OF the state as
a result of his peddling days. Now
he owns two modern country stores,
one at Wood and one at Mission, well
stocked with merchandise, and also
has nice home here, and takes his
family out on pleasure jaunts in his
own car. He also owns several Quar-
teys of fine land in Mellette aud Todd
counties. de has accomplished all
this in the short space of nine years.
Some day we may take notion to
write up this mans success at some
length. 1t would make good story
of what thrift, hustle and strict at
tention to business will do for any one
in this land of real opportunity.
Charley Abourezk could neither read
or write the American language when
he carried peddlers pack-some
handicap for anyone to start out il
business.

REALIZES $40 PER ACRE

G. w. Sawyer last week threshed
his alfalfa seed crop. MIR. Sawyer
harvested six acres of alfalfa seed and
this crop shelled out 81 bushels OF
mighty fine seed of an exceptionally
good quality. Seed houses quote
god alfalfa seed as high as $50 PR
bushel, but figuring the seed at only
$40 a bushel these six acres will net
Mr.. Sawyer at least $40 for seed
alone, not countin; the first crop OF
hay, or $40 an acre. The fnsl returns
will probably be more instead of less,
as this seed will probably sell for
more than $40 bushel. Mr.. Sawyer
has mighty fine field Of alfalfa, which
has proved to be one of bis very best
sources Of income on his farm. Such
land as produced this alfalfa seed can
be bought in this county at from $50
to $50 per acre, and is actually worth
more than hundred dollars an acre,
for land that will yield return of $40
an acre is certainly good investment
at hundred dollars or more an acre.
You can still buy cheap land in Mel
lette county, but the time to buy is
now. We want more settlers in this
county, we want more real alfalfa
growers, real farmers who will grow
corn and hogs and chickens and help
to boost the dairy industry. Every
one Of these branches of farming will
make you comfortable living and
more if you exercise fairly decent hoss
sense.

w. b. Brown Esq. appeared for Hago-
plan and stated that the respondent had
become incapacitated for working in
the mill because Of his poor health and
as a result had operated a pool room
where he also sold cigars and soft
drinks. He further contended that
Just previous to the passage OF the
Volsted Act, Hagopian had purchased
a quantity OF Uno beer and when he
found that he couldn't sell the beer
he had stored the same away, 1t ap-
reared. The search and seizure re-
yealed the Uno beer. DR.. Sawyer OF
Madison was called as a witness for
Hagopian and told OF the seriousness
of his condition. He believed that
the only danger Hagopian would be
liable to sustain II placed In jail,

nected Herewith. County Attorney

was home brew in the cellar, n
Sheriff Mooers said that the testimony
at a previous hearing indicated that
Hagopian had been selling the oeer
also that the officers had found large
quantities of liquor in the process OF
being manufactured. Harry Hago-
plan, q brother of the respondent tes-
tilted that Madrus had made some
homebrew. Attorney Brown asked II
the brew had been made to see II 1t
wouldn't help his (Madrus) heart
trouble and the witness replied that he
didn't know about that but that the
stuff had made him sick. He said
that Madrus had the home brew al
ready to be thrown out when the Of

experiment on his part. Judge Deasy
appeared to believe that Hagopian's
condition was not serious enough 10

asmuch as 1t Is understood that home
