BOYS CORN CLUB TAKE NOTICE

The members Of the Pioneer Boys
Acre Corn Club are hereby warned
that they must have their statement
Of the acre yield of Rosebud King and
Reid S Yellow Dent, properly attested
by two disinterested parties, in this
office by December /, and not later.
This is now giving the tardy ones
thirty days grace from the time they
should have made their report, ac-
cording to the rules Of the club. So
far only very small per cent of the
club membership have made their
acre yield report, and in order to be
absolutely fair and to give all
chance to get in on the medals and
prizes yet to be awarded, we have
decided to extend the time for re-
ceiving these reports to December /.
All members who do not get their re-
ports to us by December / will be
barred from participating in the
prizes.
There are yet to be awarded two
handsome medals offered by the Pio-
necr, fine medal offered by Paul
J. Scarbro, leader of boys and girls
club work in the state, and the fine
Chesters White gilt offered by Mr..
Langley, and we want every member
OF the club to send in his report on
acre yield, and be sure and report on
both Rosebud King and Reids Yellow
Dent. The biggest yield reported in
the Reid S Yellow Dent wins the gilt,

wives are already wondering about
their menu for that holiday dinner.

college:
Oyster soup with crisp crackers
and celery; roast turkey and dressing,
Swedish style, stuffed onions, baked
squash, mashed potatoes, rolls, frozen
cranbcrrics; fruit salad with nut
bread sandwiches; pumpkin pie and
ice cream, coffee, salted nuts.
Dressing-Since oyster soup is
served this Swedish dressing is more
suitable for the gobblcf than oyster
stuffing: 2 c. stale bread crumbs, 2-3
c. melted butter, 12 C. raisins, chopped,
p c. nutmeats, salt, pepper and sage.
Frozen cranberrios: OF course, if
you use mock cherry pie for dessert
some other tart relish should accomp-
any the main course. But this recipe
is delicious A C. cranbcrl1es cooked
with 2lA c. sugar and ~ C. boiling
water 10 minutes. Rub through sieve,
cool and pack in baking powder cans.
Stand them in salt and ice four hours.

BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB
MEETING WE'LL ATTENDED

There was a good crowd out to at
tend tho Boys and Girls Club meet
ING at the Legion Hall, last Wednes-
dav evening, notwithstanding the
rather unpleasant road conditions.
George IL. Valentine of Brookings,
assistant state leader OF Boys and
Girls Club work was present ana
rave a good talk ON the work con-
Quoted among the boys and girls by
the State college, and after his talk
Ae showed four reels Of films, show
ing the activiticsirf Ps3gs aeEid Girls
Club Work in South Dakota. All
present seemed to enjoy the evening
and no doubt such meetings as these
will give impetus to Boys and Girls
club work in this county. County
Agent Rudolph was with Mr. Nalen-
tine and he informed us that notwith-
standing the bad road conditions on
account OF the heavy snow here this
week, they are having some mighty
well attended meetings wherever lhey
have been held in the county, and he
predicted that there would be more
boys and girls engaged in club work in
this county in 1923 than ever before.
There is no question but that the by
or girl who will enter this club work
with will and an earnest desire to
accomplish something will gain a
world of useful knowledge, besides
learning the lesson Of thrift and earn
ing a good financial remuneration.
Parents should encourage their child
rem to enter one or more of the clubs,
and then see to it that the boy or
girl puts forth their very best efforts.

ECHOES OF ELECTION

Down in Gregory county the Demo-
crat elected only three of their can
didates-state senator, county auditor
and states attorney.
In Lyman county, where the ques-
ton Of employing county agent
came up for vote, the voters de-
cided to continue employing county
agen:.
Jackson county, northwest of this
county, also voted on the county agent
proposition, and the voters of that
county decided that they could d.
without such an official.
