real Indian bead work is becoming
scarcer and very hard to obtain. His
wife was considered one of the most
expert bead workers and the collec-
ton contains many pieces of her
handwork.
At the organization Of Mellette
county Mr.. Jordan was honored by
the voters by being elected as the
first county treasurer of Mellette
county and he filled this post with
honor and credit.
For the past ten or fifteen years
he has been living quietly at his Or
chard Ranch home, and while he was
a successful Indian trader and en-
assed fortune, yet through his sym
pathy for his fellow man and his
Indian friends his ready funds soon
disappeared and for the past few
years the Colonel, while not in want,
died "A poor man. All who knew him
were his friends and would do any
thing within their power to help the
Colonel any time.
The funeral services were held at
the Episcopal church, south of Wood,
Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Frazier of
Winner preached the funeral sermon,
and the services were conducted by
Wood and White River Masonic
lodges and the body was laid to rest
in the Episcopal cemetery here beside
that of his beloved wife and his sons
and daughter who preceded him to
their eternal home, by his Masonic
brethren with their beautiful burial
cermony. The casket was completely
covered with flowers, tributes of
friends to the memory of a sturdy
frontiersman and faithful and
trusted friend who fought good fight,

FARM BUREAU MEET and
CORN SHOW POSTPONE D

The annual meeting of the Mellette
County farm Bureau and Corn Show
that W.: TO be held in White River
on the 5th Of January has BEEN .oat-
pond lmtii the first Saturday in Feb
ruary Dcci use the weather was so M
favorable on last Saturday. At the
annual meeting of the Farm Bureau
Uii.c,rs will be elected for the next
year; there will also be several good
talks. At the meeting held last Satur-
day the county agent was requested to
have a man here to talk on the dairy
project for this county. 1t was also
decided at this meeting to hold vac
cination demonstrations for hog
cholera and anthrax next spring.
l am very anxious that at this next
meeting we have a large exhibit of
corn. There are prizes offered for
both yellow and white corn. The
prizes are for the best ten ears, the
best bushel basket full and for the
best single ear. This premium list
has been in the paper several times
and will appear in the papers again
next week. Several men brought in
samples for the show last Saturday
but with all the good corn in the
county the show ought to have at
least ten entries in each class. |
think that it is up to every member Of
the Farm Bureau to try and make
this show a success.
Selecting Corn for the Show
The primary purpose Of a corn
show is educational. We are willing
to admit that sometimes this fact is
lost sight Of. Corn that is not good
seed corn for the locality in which it
is to be shown should not win. Show
corn then should first of all be in
good seed condition, be adapted to
the locality in which it is grown and
be capable of producing good yields.
The seed condition of a sample de-
pends upon its viabilitv or ability to
terminate and grow, its maturity and
its freedom of disease, weathering and
injury.
The germs should be creamy white
and waxy and should not crumbe
when cut. Freezing injury is indicated
by germs that are dull yellow or brown
in color and brittle in texture, by
blistering of the seed coat on the
backs or sidess of the kernel or by
checking of the hard starch Well
matured ears are firm and solid to
the touch and show no space at the
cob.
The sample should show no evidence
of mold or disease on the ear or stalk.
The shank attachment should be clear
white and silky and should break
off smoothly.
The size or length of the ear and
the indentation are the characters by
which we Judge adoption. Large ears
are definitely correlated to late ma
turity and short ears to early ma
turit. The ears should be of the
proper size to mature in a normal
growing season in the locality where
it is grown.

WHO LOST A PET COYOTE?

Art Turner Of Happy Hollow was
out coyote hunting with his hounds
last Sunday and they succeeded in
running down two of them. One of
the coyotes was wearing part of a
dog chain, and he no doubt was some
ones pet coyote that had succeeded
n freeing himself from his tether
and joined the marauding packs on
the prairie. Art and his dogs are
usually quite successful in running
down coyotes &nd they very seldom
90 out and return empty-handed.

Prenatal Diet and Its Relation TO
the Teeth.
What are we producing as the ply
steal aspect of the American nation
Ninety-seyen per cent OF our school
children have decayed teeth and NAL
occiusion irregular teeth 40 per
cent have abnormal breathing tracts
20 per cent have infections OF the
skin. and smaller percentages have
defective hearing, defective vision
and fiat feet.
Think OF the record OF contagious
diseases among school children-as
colds. whooping cough. humps. mea-
sles. scarlet fever. chicken pox. etc.
No animal existing compares with
the physical condition OF human be-
ings In civilized communities.
What is wrong with civilized man
as an animal? Has he not both the
medical and dental professions work
ing for him TO prevent these diseases
and defects?
Yes. but we have all strayed so
far from the fundamentals OF nat
ural living that the combined knowl-
edge OF all the scientists does not
keep us we'll and does not prevent
disease. The fundamental truth
which we have lost sight OF is the in
herent ability OF the body cells, I'M
der normal conditions, TO build per-
feet structures. and to establish and
maintain a natural immunity to dis
ease.
The human body is made up OF I6
elements-all animal and vegetable
life and contains the same l6 ele-
ments and even the soil is similarly
composed. so that only by the most
perverse and unnatural methods of
preparing food can the human escape
being perfectly nourished. IL is
mans perversion OF his natural food
supply which is the cause OF 80 per
cent OF our physical defects.
In order TO have food that will not
spoil, and that is. therefore, a good
commercial proposition. the refiners
take the essential life elements out
OF IL and give us In exchange a pro-
duct that we can keep for year, II
necessary. and we call t1at food. Can
you think OF any natural food. any
fruit, vegetable, grain. milk or eggs
that will not spoil?
We eat hundreds of tons OF degen-
Grated and refined products that
even bacteria scorn.
White sugar, white flour, deger-
minated corn meal, corn starch, poll
ished rice. pearled barley, patented
breakfast foods galore from which
practically all the IL mineral ele-
ments have been removed-and the
lack of even one OF these elements
means sickness and even death.
These refined foods are useless for
tooth formation since they are prac-
tfcally calcium free.
In the formation OF the human
embryo. the cells must get their
building material from the blood of
the mother and the mothers blood
must obtain the l 6 elements from the
food she eats. She must get them
from her daily food. for IL she fails
TO supply the elements necessary, her
bones and her teeth and other tissues
will be robbed of calcium and other
elements to maintain the developing
child.

who furnished the six cars needed for

Bernice Bishop and Reynold Jen-
son were on the program for this
school and we were very well repre-

the worship period programs as we
have worked them out here and Jens
about the State Older Boys and Girls
Conference which he attended last
fall.
The conference was attended by
about one hundred twenty people,
of whom our delegation was the
largest group. 1t was a hilltop ex-

every delegate will be eager to go
again next year and to see that
many other young people attend also.
The young people of Prescott have
invited the Conference there for next
year so it will be more accessible
than ever before.
Mr.. Rogers, our state secretary,
surely knows how to put on an inspir

and girls, and he was assisted in a

their initial effort, tho it will be better
still with further use. The workers
of this school are to be congratulate
ed on their progressive spirit-al-
