FARM BUREAU FEDERATION
MEMBERS HAVE BANQUET
W. F. KUMLIEN OF STATE BUR
EAU ARGUES IN DEFENSE
OF COUNTY AGENT
On Wednesday evening last the
Farm Bureau of this county, with the
ifkmntv Agent and his assistant hell
a social meeting in the farmer's roc.n
of the court house, and served a ban
quet to members from over the coun
ly and a number of invited friends,
including bankers from different parts
of the county and others interested in
the we'.fare of farmers and the suc
cess of our agricultural interests.
The present financial depression,
general over the country and the pai*
Hcularly low prices for all the prin
cipal farm products is very discour
aging. and in some cases bankruptcy
is ahead oi' those who are heavily in
debt.
A number of the bankers who were
present were called upon to state
what relief could be looked for in
cheaper money under the new govern
ment war loans, but the concensus of
©pillion was it was a question wheth
-#r this would be of immediate help, us
the government, conditions for loaning
Hre hedged in with considerable red
tape and restrictions, and only time
would tell wheather the plan would
be of much assistance to farmers.
Mr. W. F. Kumliea, director of ex
tension in the faun bureau work of
#ie state, who gave the principal talk
•f the evening, said that there were
three conditions facing the farmer.
®ne of these was bankruptcy, which
•as l-cfore those who were heavily in
volved. The second was that the
farmer must receive a higher price
lor' his product or a larger ah are of
fhe price that his product brought
when it reachtd the ultimate consum
er. The third condition was that pres
4nt farming methods must be made
•tore efficient. That is that the farm
er's high priced land cooM.no longer
tie used for raising fourteen bmMl
Nth
eat, and pay him a reasoiitfble in
terest oh his investment. That the
**South Dakota farmer would have to
go into diversified farming or dairy
ing, just as the farmers of Wisconsin
years ago had to abandon grain rais
ing and make their land bring an in
terest on their investment by pro
ducftt^ more values.
...". As there had been a report that
ihere had been a demand from some
quarters that the farm bureau and
county agent work be abandoned net
year, Mr. Kumliea secured some fig
ures from the county books to show
ho* Unwise such action would be, as
Agriculture was the principal industry
#f the county, and upon its success
largely depended all the othei busi
ness in which our people are engaged.
The figures placed en a blackboard

tion of taxes would be secured by a

10,880 of which 7,000 are families en
gaged ia farming, or some 63 per

The federal appropriation will be
used whether Grant Countv makes
an appropriation or not, but our own
county will not get the benefit of it.
It certainly looks as if the basic
business of the people of the county
is entitled to this much recognition,
and that if there is to he a cut in ex
penses it should be made in a less/vital
place.

The chicken season opened September

Chickens have been plentiful in

Fire inspection
In connection with Fire Prevention
week which was observed last week,
the Chief of Police and a committee
from the Fire Department made an
inspection of all of the business
houses of the city. They report that
conditions are fair, altho if every
merchant would take it upon himself
to make his place of business as near
ly fire-proof as possible, the fire in
surance rates would drop accordingly.
Heretofore each state ftre inspection
has resulted in a boost of the insur
ance rates. Should the inspector find
the fire hazards less the next time
he visits, the report will show it ac
cordingly and the rates for the en
tire city will be dropped
Every householder should inspect
his furnace, stove, chimney and fluea
thoroly before building,fires this fall,
so that the danger of fire will not be
so great. Rubbish, papers, rusted
pipes, stuffed chimneys are big haz
ards and the fire insurance compan
ies must charge accordingly. Look
your place of business or your house
over and put them in such condition
that there will be no fires in the city
this winter.

FIRST ENTERTAINMENT OF
WINTER COURSE OCT. 27
CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR SOCIETY
AGaIN TO SPONSOR LYCEUM
COURSE IN MILBANK
Milbank is indeed fortunate this
year to be able to offer another good
Lyceum Course to the public. The
talent, is being- furnished by the Affil
iated Lyceum Bureau of Chicago who
without question have control of the
best talent available. Those who at
tended the course in the Congrega
tional church last winter will remem
ber the high quality of all the enter
tainments given and will be pleaded
to know that it is the same Bureau
that is furnishing the talent this year
with the promise that this year's
course even excells last year's.
The course will again be sponsored
by the Christian Endeavor society of
the Congregational church. It shouid
be remembered however that this is
not a church affair but a Community
project which is fostered by the En
deavor Society for the sake of econ
omy to all. The only reason why the
society considered taking the respon
sibility for the course is that there*
vs^as no other public place available
where the course could be givei. and it
was felt by local citizens that it could
be handled to best advantage through
some church.
The adult tickets will seli at the
low price of $2.00 for a season ticket
while the child's ticket will sell f.A
$1.25 Single tickets will varv slight
ly in price depending on the individual
number. However, the total price for
the separate attractions will be con
siderable above the price of the sea

experience in handling such a course
will no doubt realize that this is a%-

Wi'mot Enterprise:— Obert OU.i

million have been at the Wilmot hos
pital all week hovering between life
and death as the result of an auto ac
cident t.outh of town last Sumtuy
and tkuee Amos of Highmore an I
William Elder of Pringhar, Iowa, are
nursing painful injuries.
The e young men are engaged at
work for the construction company
building the Yelowstone Trail in the
vicinity of Ovtlev. Last Sunday they
drove down here to look over the
possibilities of securing work at husk
ing corn, one of the men said, having
learned that the yield in this vicinity
was very good. They were about the
city late in the evening and some
where about nine-thirty itarted to re
turn to Ortlcy. They drove straight
south of town and at the Hanson farm
six miles south ran into the cement
bridge across the creek at that place,
around which there was no filling due
to the inability to secure desirable
bids for doing the work. The boys
weie riding in a Ford and instead of
turning east at the detou}* around the
bridge, drove straight ahe&d and
smashed head-on into the heavy ce
ment abuttment, throwing Overt
Olson and one of the other men on top
of the briMge, and rendering them all
unconscious. Here they no doubt had
lain in that state for two hours, when
a couple of boys passing about 12
o'clock were accosted by Mr. Elder,
who had sufficiently recovered to real
ize that an accident had occurred.
They rendered what assistance they

his lower jaw fractured, while Wil
liam Elder, the owner of the car, came
out with only a severe bump on the
forehead.. ,lf all the men live, as the
indications are at the present time,
the young men can consider them
selves very fortunate, indeed. It can
be considered nothing short ot mira
clous that the car should smash into
thit- abuttment of solid cement if it
was trave'ing at only a moderate
speed, without killing all the occu
pants outright. A careful survey oi
the ground would indicate that after
hitting 'the bridge, the car tipped uo
against the abuttment and then set
tled baek on its wheels again, and the
car itself was not badly damaged.
Relatives of the injured men have
been in constant attendance all week,
and
the men themselves are receiving
the very best of care. There aie fre
quent threats of damage suits and
something in this line might develop,
while on the other hand, there might
be circumstances connected with the
affair that will cause the affair to le
dropped in case the men recover.
Many
people
aver that while the men
were in town some of them were de
cidedly under the influence of liquor,
and if this is the case the township's
libalit.v would be greatly minimized.
And while the township had no sign
at
the bridge, it is maintained that
the
heavy growth of tall weeds on
this side of the bridge across the road
had been regarded as sufficient warn
ing to travelers.
The accident is indeed unfortunate,
and should seive a. another warning
that reat care should be exercised
while driving after dark, particularly
while under the influence of liquo.%
and alVio to contractors and township
officials regarding, the proper danger
