The car landed on the radiator and
front edge of the top*, o that the oc
cuperts were able to crawl out of the
machine !(ru the windows. One of
the amazing* happenings of the ac

crashed t'iv-u the vind-hie'd and out
the bad: window, passing between
Mr.
and Mrs. Guild without injuring either
of. them.

Water-way Big Project
Huron, July 28.—Shipping over the
proposed Great Lakes-S't. Lawrence
deep waterway would eave the farm
ers of the middle-west grain belt at
least five cents a bushel on their .sur
plus shipments, accoi'ding to J. R.
Howard, president of the American
Farm Bureau federation, who ac
companied the recent party of inspec
tion over the route.
"Authorities estimate the saving on
grain shipments at 10 cents a bushel"
he say.-. "Dividing this 5*9-50 with the
consume!*, which we are always willing
I® do, this would be a saving of eight
cents a bu-hel to our farmers. But
be real conservative and make it five
cents, and vou have a project of tre
mendous import."

of wheat in South Dakota is 11 bushels
anything over that wouJd be a good

No Band Concert Next Week
The Boy Sceut band conceit which
was to have been heki next week will
be postponed for one week, ?nd will
be given on August 30. The next
one will be August 24 and the last one
i the season, one week later, August
31. Thi. an argument will give the
boys mole timo to lehearse the coo
e.t, instead of only the one week.
1'he conceits have been enjoyed by
a .large number of people every week
awK-the band has established a line
reputation. They will officiate at the
Qjt^nt county fair and negotiations
ai e un'ler way for one day at the Big
Stone City fair.
Definite arrangements to play at
the Mitchell Corn Palace Exposition
have not been made, due to the fact
that the hand would have to get rate
to make the trip down there. These
have not been announced by the rail
road company, so that the band can
give the exposition officials a price
for the v eek.. They have secured one
band and asked for the scout band to
play on the street during fhe entire
week of the exposition. This would
be a fine boost for the band and they
are making every effort to dose tH^y
contract.
