SPEAKS AT COMMERCIAL CLUB

l.. A. Swensen of Minneapolis, Mimi,
district commercial manager of the
Western Union, was the principal
speaker at the meeting Of the CONNER
cial club last Friday evening and spoke
interestingly Of the use of the tele-
graph in business.
The time is rapidly approaching
when this period of business depres-
sion will be "a thing of the past" said
the speaker. Every indication points
to renewed prosperity. The railroads
must spend millions of dollars to put
their property in shape. Thousands
of homes and buildings must be built.
our good roads program means the
putting in circulation Of a great deal of
money. The foreign situation is inn
proving.
Competition is and will be very
keen and every n OF us must use
the very best methods in order that
We get our share of the business.
we must advertise. | recently
heard a speaker declare that "a per
cen of the business failures in 1921
were concerns that did not advertise.
The value of time will be a great
factor, for it is upon the factor Of
time that all our accomplishments are
measured. The nos impressive re-
cognition | have ever heard relative to
the elusiveness Of time, came from a
great philosopher, who at the end Of a
long and useful life, simply remarked,
so much to do, so little done Indeed
gentlemen, sc intangible is the factor
of time hat we sense it's existence
only as we measure it, by the recur-
renee Of periodic vents, or by the
changes in ourselves that it is the
bearer of every opportunity We have
or may ever hope to have. The most
valuable thing a mar can spend is
Time"

GREENE CASE SETTLED

The supreme court has just handed
down a decision of interest in the
case commenced by Messrs Hall &
Purdy upon the behalf of Carsten
GREENE of Galva, Iowa, to foreclose a
mortgage by Henry Rockies, Ralph
Rockies and John Harms, who at the
time Of giving the mortgage also re-
sided in Iowa. The properly covered
by the mortgage, however, was sit
uated in Preston township, Brookings
county, and inasmuch as the mort.
gage did not strictly comply with the
South Dakota laws the mortgago-s
sought to avoid the effects of the
mortgage. The case involves S2O,O 900
and was tried before Judge Skinner
some months ago. The question Of
the validity Of the mortgage was sub
mitted to the supreme court In April
and the opinion just rendered by
Judge Anderson holds that the mort.
gage was valid as between the parties
and hat the same can be foreclosed
and the property sold.
Previous to this decision a sale
was held on the GREENE ranch north.
west OF Bruce and some SIS, 900 worth
OF property was sold. Mr.. GREENE
was represented by Hall & Purdy Of
Brookings and the mortgages were
represented by NJ. j. Russell of
WatertOwn.

PLEADS OWN CASE, WINS

One Of the most interesting events
of the present term of court was the
case of the H. G.. Elders of Elkton, VS..
Keith A. Porter, in which Mr.. Porter
acted as his OWn attorney and de-
Tended himself SO well before the jury
that he won a verdict in his favor.
Mr.. Porter belongs to the religious
cult known as the House of David,
noticeable largely because of the fact
that they never shave or cut their
hair. Mr.. Porter with his long flow
ing red hair and beard made a strik-
ing appearance before the court. He
was well educated and spoke with
fluency. He was not familiar with
court procedure and had difficulty
in presenting his case in the proper
ane The suit was over a tote
given in payment for a farm tractor,
which Mr.. Porter purchased and later
found was not in good condition and
returned it.
The case of c. w. Kitchen against
the Security Investment and Mortgage
Co., was the last jury case. After
considerable argument by the attor-
neys, Philo Hall and Olaf Eidem, the
judge dismissed the case and it will
have to be tried again to be settled.
There are two more court cases to
be tried and then it is epected that
the June term will end.

TEXT BOOKS
FOR SCHOOL USE
SPECIAL BOARD HOLDS MEETING
AT COURTHOUSE ON
TUESDAY
VERY FEW CHANGES MADE N THE LIST
Observe Strict Economy in Selecting
School Books to Be Used for
Next Five Years

The county text book board met on
Tuesday of this week at the court
house and adopted textbooks for use
in the public schools Of the county for
the next five years. This committee
consisted OF A. r. Bunday, chairman
of the county commissioners, County
Auditor Alton, County superintendent
Mabel X. Trooien and two rural school
teachers chosen by the county COM
m%issioners, Mrs. Mabel Nelson Lee Of
Preston township and Miss Veronica
Fasbender of Hendricks.
The committee realized hat in
these times as few changes as possible
should be made, but they felt it was
absolutely necessary to make some
changes. The texts in geography and
history were so much out Of date as
to make it almost a misdemeanOr to
have the children use them for another
five years. These books, are pur-
chased through the county and then
ordered by each school district as they
need them. They are paid for by the

the most economical way of handling
the school book problem.
The books chosen must be used in all
schools in the county, except that the
-four year accredited schools, may
make any changes they see fit in their
own schools. There is a notable in
crease in the cost of books over five
years ago. The following is the list Of
books which will be used in the schools
of the county for the next five years:
Elson primer and readers, Baldwin
and Bender readers, Young and Field
readers, Curry's Literary reader, First
Book of American History. History of
the United States, Hamilton Arithme-
tics, Cuhin Example books, Potter,
Jeschke and Gillette's Oral and Writ
ten Language, A Republic of Friends,
