Getting 1t All In
4 Wedding Item,

You know how a wedding, for
instance, is described by one friend
to another. Well, here's how Ran
dali Hobart, of the Mobridge, IS.
d. Tribune, says it should be
written up in the local newspaper:
"Miss Jennie Jones and Bob
Henry were married at the Jones
mansion last night. The bride is
a daughter of Constable Jones who
has made a good officer and will
undoubtedly be reelected this
spring. He offers a fine horse for
sale in another column of this
ISSUE The groom runs "a grocery
store on main street and is steady
patron of our advertising columns.
He has a good line of bargains in
his ad this week. All summer he
paid two cents more for butter than
any other store in town. They
were married by Reverend Josiah
Butterworth, who last week called
at this office and gave us a nice
order for handbills. He is also
going to give some time to the real
estate business and will write fire
insurance. So say the business
cards we recently printed for him.
Jennie and Bob left for Milwaukee
to visit the brides uncle who, we
understand, has lot of money
and cancer"

Provisions Of
Drivers License
Are Made Clear
Change of Residence is
Grounds for Duplicate
License.

There still appears to be consid-
cradle misunderstanding as to when
and under what circumstances per-
son is required to renew or obtain
a duplicate drivers license under
the new law.
An opinion has been received from
Attorney General j. A. A. Burnquist
on the matter, in which he holds as
follows:
Cd Every time the permanent DOM
icile (the place where a person has
his true, fixed and permanent home)
is changed from the address listed
in the application for license, du-
plicate drivers license must be OBJ
tanned.
(2) A person is required to obtain
a duplicate drivers license: (a) When
he moves from a rural route to the
city or village from which such rural
route originates. (b) When he moves
from one house address to another
within the same city. (c) When he
moves from one city or village to
another city or village within the
same county.
When No Renewal is Required.
A person is not required to obtain
a duplicate drivers license: (a) When
he moves from permanent residence
to a temporary residence, to accomo-
date his employment or for vacation
purposes. (b) When he moves from
one part of a city or village to an
other part of the same city or vii
lage, where no street is given on
application for a drivers license. Be-
cause subsection (c) of Section re-
quires that an application for driv-
er's license shall set forth the resi-
dence address, this answer is made
on the assumption that the reason
a street address does not appear on
the application is because the appll-
cant lives in a small municipality
where the streets and addresses are
not identified by names and numbers.
Every application for license shall
contain the residence address of the
applicant.

Scouts Conduct A
Camporee Saturday

The Pine City Boy Scout troop
played host Saturday, June 8, to the
Scouts of Askov and Sandstone when
a new feature in the Scouting of this
district, the Scout Camporee, was
introduced.
Camp was set up in the morning
and a 14-foot signal tower was
erected. Contests were held during
the afternoon and demonstrations of
signaling, fire by friction and fire
by flint and steel were presented by
Pine City Scouts.
The Camporee adjourned early in
the evening because of the small at
tendance, but it is hoped that more
affairs of this nature will be held in
the future with all troops in the dis
trict present to take part in the fun.

Farmers Observe
'CleariingOfLand
BulldOzer and Tractor Re-
moves Stumps, Stones
and Makes Roads.

Approximately 900 farmers at
tended the two land clearing demon
STATIONS which were held at the Ben
Erickson farm near Groningen, and
the A. F. Golden farm near Kerrick,
ON Monday, June 5, according to Max
McMillin, county agent. The ma
chine worked in very good manner
at the Ben Erickson farm and took
out several big white pine stumps,
as well as smaller standing trees,
leveled off some old cradle knobs and,
according to Mr.. Erickson's own fig
ureS, it would have cost him $2425
for dynamite, caps and fuses to take
out the stumps that the machine took
out in 40 minutes. Mr.. Erickson esti-
mated that it would have taken, be-
sides the cash outlay, AZ hours of
labor. The cost of the machine for
40 minutes would be approximately
$335 which is figured at the rate
of SIS an hour. Mr.. Erickson also
had new driveway built into his
place, and the machine cleared the
stumps and laid up grade for him
IN snort order.
Ground Too Soft at Kerrick.
The demonstration at Kerrick was
not as satisfactory as the ground was
very soft and the machine did not
have the traction that it should have
and took up much more dirt than
it would under dry conditions. How
ever, they did take out two big rocks
at Kerrick in short order, as well as
some stumps, and made a ditch to
drain pot hole in the field for Mr..
Golden.
MIR. McMillin says that he had ex-
pected the machine to be available
for work in the county Immediately
following the demonstrations, but it
will be necessary to have more acres
of clearing signed up before the ma
chine will be here definitely. He re-
quests that farmers who are inter-
ested in getting land cleared notify
him at once as to the number of acres
or the number of hours of work they
will want done, as it is necessary
to have more acres than there are
now to keep the machine in the
county.

Body OF An Aged
|Rutledge Man Is
Found In Swamp
Joseph Cenadek, 70, Was
Missing Two Nights and
A Day.

The body of Joseph Genadek, rs
year old resident of Rutledge, wa:
found Saturday at 10 a. m. by Z
searching party after he had beer
missing since Thursday evening be-
fore. The aged man was lying face
downward in a swamp water hole &

tives and neighbors started a search

ated Saturday morning with the find
