Holland BeU Ringers
With the splendid ,entertainment of
the Six Royal Holland Bell Ringers
the Ideal Chautauqua came to a close
on Tuesday evening. That the Chau
tauqua was a success has been agreed
by all who were in -attendance. Of
course there were some programs
which by no means were as good as*
others, but this is only natural in
any entertainment course of this
type.
7 The lecturers were all very good
and each brought: a message before
the people which was of vital and
up-to-the-minute interest to every
one.
Paul B. Naylor of the Agricultural
Extension Division of the University
of Missouri, gave his listeners a
splendid message regarding the vital
part the farmer is playing in the
economic and political life and show
ed what a great responsibility lay be
fore him. He stated that the farmer
was not well enough educated and
that their one hope of keeping the
young people on the farm was to give
them as good an education and as at
tractive a life as that of the city
young folk. He explained how it was
through organization that the farmer
could continue to compete with or
ganized capital and labor and made
a plea for every farmer to join the
Farm Bureau and thereby, through
organization, regain the rights which
he has lost.
r''Xl I Dr. G. Herbert, who has studied
national and world affairs, gave the
best lecture of the course. His theme
was "What Next?" In developing it
he lead his listeners through past his
tory of Europe and America, then into
the present and to some extent out
lined a course for the future. He at
tacked congress for not doing its
duty and severely opposed the immi
gration of undesirable* foreigners into
America. His plea was for the com
mon people who are not having a
voice in political operations.
Of the musical numbers theft is no
doubt but that the Royal Holland Bell
Ringers led all the others. Their
program was unique, full of humor,
as well as good music and all that
goes to comprise a good, interesting
entertainment.
The Holland Bell Ringers were as
sisted in two numbers by„the famous
Parkston Male Glee Club, hardly
known, oyer the world yet b]
ing strides in that direction.
"Tb'e- Runaway Match" was cer
Mainly a hilarious comedy and al
though not of a serious type was a
good play of its type.
Union" church services were held in
Z3' the chautauqua tent on Sunday
morning.' Singing was leqd by a com
munity choir and the message of the
morning was delivered by Stewart

Crop Prospects Good
At present, prospects for a bumper
small grain crop are, good. The
corn is also doing well but it is the
general verdict of the farmers that it
is at a standstill and not growing at
present, and is badly in need of
rain. Farmers stated that the smal}
grain might do well without rain but
that a shower would not injure it at
all.
Paul B. Naylor, an agricultural ex
pert, who has been touring the state
says that crop prospects are good:
nearly everywhere he has been, and
are patricularly good in Yankton and
Turner counties.
News reached here the fore part of
the week that a severe hail storm
had ravaged a large strip of country
extending from Howard to Humbolt.
The losses from it were very heavy*
mounting up into large sums of
money.
On the average, however, ali looiyy
well at present and with a little rain
the farmers will be safe.

g|f
Alone

After a long journey lasting f've
weeks. Miss Anna Rath arrived in
this city from Russia on Sunday aft
ernoon and will make her home in
this country. She is a half-sister of
Mrs. Samuel Doering who lives about
8 miles west of this city.
Although less than 20 years old and,
unable to speak the English language,
Miss Rath made the long trip all
alone and arrived here safely.
Some months ago Mrs. Doering sent
some money to Russia for her sister's
passage. Miss Rath started on her
trip early in May and sent a telegram
from Bucharest to her sister. The
telegram was received h?re but as it
was1 sent in the Roumanian language
no one in Parkston was able to trans
late it so the translation of the
message was secured through the
telegraph company. It requested that
Mrs. Doering should meet her sister
in New York,
rt "ift. Tjr'i! a
Unwilling to make the long and ex
pensive trip, Mrs. Doering appealed
to the services of a local bank. The
Hanover National banking concern
was asked to meet the lady as she
arrived and arrange for the continu
ance of her journey.
The representative of the Hanover
National bank met Miss Rath at the
ship and through their efforts she did
not have to go through a lot of red
tape, and was quickly admitted into
this country.

PARKSTON IS MECCA
OF CHURCH MELTINGS
As a convention city Parkston is
certainly gaining recognition. Espe
cially is this true among the ecclecias
tical bodies of this state. During the
past months this city has been host
to four different church conventions
and another is in session at present.
On Sunday, May 29, the German Con
gregationalists of southern South Da
kota held their annual Sunday school
convention. On Sunday, June 5, the
K. C.'s held their initiation and on
the following Sunday, June 12, the
Catholic Daughters of America held
their annual initiation. Both of these
orders draw their membership from
a territory which includes several
counties. Then came the German
Baptist convention of the Dakota
Baptists, which was held from June
1 to 19. At present the German Luth
erans of this state and portions of
Iowa and Minnesota are holding their
annual meeting here.

Every year some fresh discovery Is
made by naturalists respecting the
curious habits of birds. The boldness
shown by even shy birds when domes
tic duties are concerned is surprising.
Robins are especially noted for their
boldness, and a pair have been known
to build their nest and rear their
family on a beam in a school, entering
by the window which was left open.
Swallows seldom build in odd places,
but a pair have been known to build
their nest against a pane of window
glass. A swallow's nest in a funnel
is an exceptionally queer place for
a bird of this species to choose.
Wrens are very ingenious, and their
dome-shaped nests, which are so
beautifully woven, are often found in
old kettles and tins, and even in the
pockets of old coats which have been
left hanging about.
A
hedge sparrow's
nest in a kettle was found In a bunch
of nettles close to a public footpath,
where school childnen passed every
day, but the faithful bird, with no
thought of danger, reared a family
