C, A. PETERSON RACING COMPANY
WILL STAGE THE FASTEST AUTO
RACE MEET EVER HELD IN THIS
PART OF THE COUNTRY
SEPT. 6, THE DAY
C. A. Peiterson, (if Sioux City was
in Canton Wednesday, and completed
all the arrangements for one of the
largest racing events for autos ever
staged in our sunny South Dakota.
He will bring to Canton such well
known drivers as "Wild Bill" Turner
who is known from coast to coast as a
man absolutely without fear on a dirt
track, and his special Chalmers six is
a car made a purpose for this contest.
"Bill" Mackeral, another man stung
with the "speed bug" will bring his
big "Paigo Special" a car that has
never gone its fastest, a man that
drives it, that has no fear. E. J.
Lauer, another well known death
defying driver and his Chevrolet will
be here, and to witness the feats of
this fearless driver would go far to
ward demanding your presence at
this meet.
Many other drivers are coming and
by the time the race comes off, some
lifteen or twenty well known auto
drivers will probably be signed up.
Perhaps one of the features of the
race will be a Buick car. This car has
never yet suffered defeat on a dirt
track and if successful, Mr. Petterson
will secure a local driver to handle
this car. And this feature alone
should make the race all the more de
sirable to attend.
The purses of $300 will be deposited
in the Farmers State Bank in Canton
before the races, to assure the public
that the Petterson Racing Company
means business.
The Race Meet is open to all and
those disiring to try their luCk in fast
company will tile their entries at the
Cooper & Cooper olllces in this city.
There will be three races, 25 miles
15 miles and a 10 mile novelty race
and let it be remembered that anyone
is eligble to enter.
THE CAMP-MEETING
The campmeeting will begin Thurs
day evening of this week and continue
pver the 22nd. A large attendance is
expected and a great meeting. Rev.
Flnwall while here at the tir^e of tfts
lecture on IS urway said he expected
to come to the campmeeting and hear
Dr. Banks if he was within a hundred
miles of the city. He has heard him
before and this Is the way those who
have heard him speak. He will speak
every evening and twice on the sab
baths. Dr. Butler will have charge of
both the morning and afternoon ser
vice. Everyone who has heard Dr. But
ler will look forward to hearing him
again with pleasure. While the Meth
odist has charge of this meeting it is
fully understood that people of all de
nominations and of no denomination
will be welcome and have the same
prtviledge qf the Methodists Let
everyone who believes In the word of
God and prayer and repentance and
the salvation of the soul come and
pome praying that this meeting may
bp felt throughout the community
£nd the state. The old patriarch Job
s^ld ''Acquaintthyself with the Lord
and be at peace" To know God ia the
greatest need of man for Jesus said
"This Is eternal life that they might
worship the only true God and Jesus
Christ whom thou hast sent." Let
everyone not acquainted with the
Lord come and get acquainted with
him at this time,
A Feather In Carlson's Cap
That States Attorney A. B. Carlson
of this county is one of the best law
yers in the state has been proven
time and again. He knows the law
and bis decisions stand in the high
est courts.
Tiiis week he won another victory
over the silver tongued Sioux Falls
gentleman who has a penchant of
running for governor of our fair state
and Carlson trimmed him up and
licked him properly at Lennox in the
case of the state vs. Enenga, for as
sault and battery, Carlson scoring
every point and' all the bombastic
eloquence of the great orator from
Sioux Falls availed him naught.
He kicked on Justice Crowley's
court room and wanted him to hire
the tuwn hall, but afterwards he was
rather glad that he did not spread
out so much.
Some fifteen or twent/ witnesses
were called and the case created quite
a stir but all of the much touted chin
music turned loose by the Power City
gent could not down the facts of the
law as clearly set forth by our own
States Attorney and the jury brought
In a vetdict against Enenga and he
paid a fine and costs amounting to
over $100.
It was a feather in Attorney Carl
son's cap—a well deserved victory.—

G. J. Moen took charge of his new

expects to still reside here at Fair

will still be in close touch with the
business here at the bank.
HUDSONITE
Auditor Lomen is the busiest man
in seven counties and it keeps him
and deputy auditor Greguson and
Miss Selma Dokken and another
young lady busy now trying to keep
up with the work in the office. The
board of equalization raised Cain with
things, lowering here and raising
there until the over worked auditor
can prove that he is earning his sal
ary, in fact it looks as though for the
time being Lomen had been handed a
lemon. However, our efficient audi
tor is equal to the occasion and you
would hardly believe the amount of
work being daily mowed av.uy ia that
office.

There was a hot argument and near

cause even 92 percent of the German
American vote cannot place the
United States under Kaiser Bill's rule.
Like the little boy, the German sym

cannot aHvayos hist own cause or that

TWENTY YEARS
AGO THIS WEEK
Edgar Ward well was in town last
Friday. He had 2f acres of barley on
old potato ground which threshed out
210 bushels or 93 bushels to the acre.
This is a record breaker for barley so
far as heard from.
There is a penalty for killing prairie
chickens before they are ripe, but oc
casionally the boys forget about the
law and go out to see the grain fields,
and if a chicken should fly into the
wagon it is called an accident. Last
Saturday four mighty hunters went
up north to see John Bertrand's crops.
John has a notice on his premises
forbidding hunters to trespass. Clay
Parke's farm joins Bertrand's. Clay
has no notice posted but he posts him
self with a gun to see that no son of a
gun kills chickens on his farm. Well,
the hunters were admiring the charms
of landscape from the broad acres on
Bertrand's domain, when some fool
ish Qhickens got up and exposed their
whereabouts. They saw the hunters
and dpe'ded to seek the friendly se
clu'.lvo of Clay Parke's cornfield. The
hunters fallowed and were about to
kill a bird when up rose Clay with
gun in band and began hurling thun
derbolts of electrified English at the
hunters, who thought all the game
wardens in the state were behind
Clay. The curtain might as well drop
now because the last act in the co
medy was not on the program. All
parties are alive at this writing, be
cause there were no barb wire fences
to prevent a scientific retreat.
Albert and Oscar Carlson have each
purchased new Napoleon bicycles
from Glendinning Scott. The Na
poleon is a beauty.
John Salem got book from the bar

printing office hands shows evidence
of health and strength, and his hand-

tans. John's best girl will hardly
know him.
Nlms Brothers have purchased the
Geo. Stanley property east of the de
pot, and Frank is going to live there.
Some one hints that a wedding is
near at band.
Judge Aikens came down from the
Falls last Saturday, to spend Sunday
with his family. The Judge has a
host of warm friends in Canton. He
returned Monday.
Secretary and Mrs. Thorson return
ed from Pierre Wednesday. Mrs.
Thorson was feeling quite indisposed,
having caught a severe cold on the
way down.
Last Saturday night, sneak thieves
enjoyed a night of great activity.
Sheriff Kundert was payed a visit
that cost him 810 and Elmer Knowl
ton also donated $14 for a visit from
the said thieves. One of Carl Wiggin's
boys also put in a few dollars by the
way of donation, just to show that
the visitor or visitors made a complete
round. It wouldn't be a bad idea to
clean up the "jungles" south of Can
ton, where over a hundred hoboes
have mads their camp all summer.
Mrs. Gus Anderson, daughter Helma
and Mrs. Anderson's nelce, Miss
Hula Fossum arrived Sunday from
their home in Sioux Falls for a visit
at the E. Selom home.
From reports of those who have
threshed this season, small grain
crops will be remarkable this year.
Children's Summer Colds
It is wrong to neglect a cold at any
time because it weakens the system
and lays the sufferer open to attack
from other diseases. Wet feet, sud
den changes In temperature and sleep
ing uncovered at night cause many
children's colds in summer. Foley's
Honey and Tar Compound gives sure
and prompt relief.
