Ben Breier, our stage man, expert
enced a little car trouble about three
miles west of Witten, last Monday,
and as a result he failed to get to
Wood at all Monday. He sent the
second and third class mail out with
j. A. Joneschiet, and there were no
mails leaving Wood either way on
that day. This is the first time this
has happened in eighteen months srev-
ice that Mr.. Breier has been at the
wheel. He got fixed up and came
through on time Tuesday as usual.
c. A. Brown tried out his new
power corn shelter on the j.. A. Sieg-
mund farm, Monday nd Tuesday of
this week when he shelled some fiji
teen hundred bushels of last years
corn for Mr.. Siegmund, and which is
now being taken to the Winner mar
ket and is bringing a very good price
some eighty-three cents per bushel.
There is considerable of Mellette
county's last year corn crop now find
ing it's way to market, as there was
quite a surplus carried over by many
OF our farmers, and as another bumper
crop is now being harvested, this old
corn is going to market at a very
fair price. While We raise thousands
of hogs here, there are not enough to
consume the entire corn crop by feed
ing and some of it must go to market
as grain.

friends prepared a very nice birthday
dinner at the Wheeler home, and when
the table had been set and everything
was in readiness, they invited the ven

for her. Of course they all had a
very ENJOYABLE time.
c. A. Brown, who is farming the
fine Banker ranch just north of Wood,
on Monday received his new corn
husking machine, and he gave the
machine a tryout Monday. These
machines are a comparatively new Ia
Dor saving farm machine, but it is
said that they do the work well, and
while Mr.. Brown has the honor of
being the first to possess n of these
machines in this immediate vicinity,
here are others who are expecting to
husk their corn with machines this
season. They are said to be quite
common in Trip county this fall, and
no doubt it will be only a few years
until hand shocking will be the excep-
ton rather than the mule. The high
prices demanded by huskers is driving
many of our corn ~raisers to the use
Of the machines.

In the issues presented by the coal

certain candidate. Senator George
Wharton Peppers position Is under
stood to be similar to Senator Wat
sons that 80 long as Coolidge was
to be unopposed he did not desire to
contest, but if the fight became an
open one he might take part. Penn.
sylvania Republicans already have
caucused and decided to send an un-
pledged delegation to the Republican
convention.
New York also will send an un-
pledged delegation, according to
expectations prevailing in political
quarters. The plan favored by
some New York leaders is for tho
delegation to present the name Of
Senator Jimmy Wadsworth on
the initial ballots at least.

that Senator Robert M. La Toilette

The supporters Of. ex-Gov. Frank

secured the nomination In Chicago
in 1920, similarly expect him to get

down. Governor Lowden has care
fully refrained from committing him

refused to become identified with

naked, feed the hungry, but we
would ever be the sole Judge or
our own action. the arbiter OF
our own destiny. Our country
the greatest on earth, should
have it's own foreign policy, thor
oughly understood by our people,
frankly proclaimed. Preserving
our country as it is, we preserve
the worlds greatest asset, CIVIL
zation's highest promise. Our
timid, vacillating and contradlc-
tory positions demand Americas
foreign policy again be decided
by the whole people, who must
themselves, ut whatever COST
maintain 1t. This time, the deci-
sion should be so clear, so DEL
mite and certain, that no casu-
istry, no specious plea, no lno1-
rection can distort.
Upon these fundamentals, am
p1ifying and expressing detalIS
hereafter to the men and women
who constitute Americas free
citizenship, I will make appeal.
In every State the contest VIII
be waged. In those States where
the voters may express their pref
erence the issue can be definite

didates will participate in the
presidential preference primary, In
GLIDING California, and cheerfully
acquiesce in the result. No man
who aspires to the highest office
in the gift of the American peo-
pie should shrink from a verdict
by those he seeks to serve; and
equally, none is entitled to the
Presidency whom the people do
not want
