We can admire Grant for his
magnificent nerve and tor his SOL

behavior at Apponattox. We
can believe in Lincoln as a won-

ANNE WHAT'S-HER-NAME"

The Witten High School Players,
under the direction of Prof. Z. II.
Hamilton, are billed to appear at the
Legion Hall in Wood tomorrow (Sat-
urday) evening in the three-act COM
edy entitled, "Anne What 's-Her-
Name" This is the first dramatic
performance to be presented in Wood
this season, and the company should
be greeted with a capacity house.
They are bringing along a band and
orchestra to furnish music, and we
have no hesitancy in saying that all
those who attend this performance
will receive more than full value for
the small admission fee charged.

WOLF BOUNTIES BEING PAID

The deficiency wolf bounty bill COW
ering state bounty on wolf bountles
that has accumulated in the state aud
tors office since May, 1921, has been
signed by the governor and the aud
tors office is some busy place trying
to issue these warrants to the many
holders of the claiTS, and while they
are pushing this with all haste pos
,ible their daily mail averages from
,5 to 50 letters from all over the state
asking why their claims are not paid.
When it is understood that there are
,ver 1000 of these claims which az
yregate a sum of $4,000, it is no
small task to get this amount OF work
out on short notice when the usual
routine of business together with a
busy legislative session is taxing the
auditors office during this month
However these claims are being
pushed out just as fast as is possible
and every claim should be paid during
March.

HOW ABOUT THAT
ALFALFA BOOSTER TRIP

The alfalfa booster trip suggested
in last weeks Pioneer struck d. popu-
lar chord with some of our readers and
they seem to be greatly in favor of
this proposed two-day picnic on
wheels. This can be made one of the
biggest advertising features for Mel
lette county Of the year and cannot
help but rebound to the good Of Mel
lette county and her people. Since
the article in last week s Pioneer we
have heard of one nurserymar who
said that he would give an acre OF
trees to some Mellette county fermcr,
if the enterprise is undertaken. The
county agent said that he was greatly
in favor of the enterprise, and said
he thought he could ac;aLge 10 have
a moving picture man here 10 take
several hundred feet of film o., the
activities of the boosters in Melct te
county on the two days. This film
would not only be shown in South Da-
kota but in many of the nearby states
1t would not be bad idea to also
extend invitations to the officials OF
both the Chicago & Northwestern rail
road and the Chicago and Milwaukee
railroad to come and spend the two
days with the farmers of Mellette
county as their guests and give item
a first hand view-of our county and
its resources and Development. Then
why not also arrange to have few
of the down trodden renters IN the
high priced land areas of the neigh
boring states also come and enjoy the
two-days picnic on wheels? We will
wager that what they could actually
see in those two days would be a real
revelation to them, and many might

PICTURES OF $500 YEARS AGO

Have you ever tried to picture foi
yourself the civilization that existed
before the time of David, second king
of Israel? Have you tried to imagine
the kind of clothes people wore $500
years ago, the kind Of furniture they
used?
Over in Egypt, in the valley of the
Nile, there was recently opened the
tomb of Pharaoh Tut-Ankh- Amen, the
ruler of Egypt $500 years ago, and
inside this tomb there was found vast
quantities Of things that picture the
civilization of the ancient world.
1t is rare privilege for the Pioneer
to present to our readers this week
a series of pictures made from photo
graphs taken inside this tomb, show
inng the many interesting objects
which it contained. In these pictures
you will see much of the story of hat
ancient civilization which passed away
more than thousand years before
the birth of Christ, civilization that
ante-dates the pyramids by several
hundred years.
In these pictures you will find much
that is of intense interest, and you
will add TO your own interest in the
subject by talking about them with
your friends and neighbors

THE FARMERS WIFE
By Mary Ann Gray

Washing Laces-This is lace year
when almost every woman uses some
lace trimming on her dresses, her
table linen and her window curtains.
White lace should be soaked in soap
flakes and little ammonia for an hour
then the dirt squeezed out. 1t the
lace is yellow, put it in glass jar full
of soapy water and u t. borax. Set
it in the sun for day or two, then
rinse well. To give white lace the
body it had when new, stiffen it in
gum arabic water, made by dissolvine
a piece of gum arabic the size of a
pea in 1a point boiling water. Lay
lace between cloths to absorb moisture
clap it until nearly dry, pull and pin
straight and true on flannel, where
it will take it's shape.
Wash Black Lace in one cup strong
coffee to which / T. Of AMMONIA is
added. Rinse in gum arabic water
clap until nearly dry, pin into shape
on flannel or press under black muslin
with warm iron.
Use of Paper in the Kitchen-Every
day the housewife renews her paper
simply in the kitchen while cleaning
or cooking. Newspapers protect the
floor from grease and water and they
are also useful for wrapping garbage
before it is burned in stove or fur
mace. Bacon, fritters or dried pota-
toes are better if drained on paper
before serving. Cake pans are not Sc
hard to wash when first lined with oil
paper from the cracker box before
baking. Paraffin paper is needed foi
keeping bread, cake, cookies and other
foods moist; orange wrappers, OF
paper towels are convenient for clean
ing the stove, polishing mirror,
securing kitchen utensils and fOi
greasing tins.
Plan Your Garden Now-Figurt
how many canned vegetables you use
this winter, the amount OF fresh vcge'
tables used during the summer and
plan your plot accordingly.

WOULD BUILD RAILROAD
LINE INTO MURDO

Tie farmers in northern Mellette
county are going to beat the North
western railroad company to it if the
company does not get busy and push
their line on west out of Winner, if
the item appearing in last week s
Wood Pioneer from the Pleasant Val
ley vicinity is any criterion to follow.
The item mentioned says:
1T is only $3.50 miles to Murdo
and the Milwaukee railroad. Why not
let us build short line up there? We
will do two weeks work with team
and man. Why beg the Northwestern
always? Let them come and get our
trade or let S show them
The Pleasant Valley community of
Mellette county is situated over south
east of the Westover bridge and is
one Of the richest sections of the west
river country. The farmers over in
thee are a sct Of in lustrlCus men
and are pushing ahead in spite of the
fact that they are located far away
from any town and off railroad
but this does not seem to dampcn
their determination one little bit
and they go right OH producing rec
ord crops and good hogs. They are
handicapped when it comes to market
ing their produce, however, and the
item quoted above states the situation
idehtically and if some action is to be
taken every citizen of the two coun-
ties should get back of it and push.
If the farmers Of that part of Mel
lette county are willing to donate
work there is not much question but
what the proposed spur could be built
into Murdo to connect up with the
Milwauke line at this place. Mil
waukea officials should be approach< d
upon the proposition and their opin-
ION given a good sounding out. The
proposal is worthy of more than a
passing thought.-Murdo Coyote.
