Danfort.li of Parker was in (-anion Saturday on bis way to Charles City. Iowa, by auto, ac- companied by bis family. His cat needed a little fixing and while the Karate men were at work on it, be made this olllce a call. We talked religion, politics and good roads be- fore lie departed. Kdwin Ilaugen, a bright progressive young fanner from southern High- land, was amoug our renewal sub- scribers who called Saturday. Edwin says their corn will be line. He look- ed at a big catawba colored pear on the Editor's table, and smiled. That's one of P. S. Haulson's bit: pears, we tuld him, "well," said he "it, looks sweet and 1 believe beats anything in the pear line In good old Highland, but we have other things that slides over Norway," and he was gone. P. S. Paulson of Moe was in town last Saturday and called on the Lkad- kk to renew bis subscription. He also presented the Editor with a paper bag tilled with eight great line pears, perfect beauties, picked from a tree last Friday evening that yielded four bushels. Mr. Paulson is a very suc- cessful fruit grower, having some- thing like 300 bushels of apples on band now, but the pear-, they make you smack your lips to look at them. Hernt Asheim, one of the promin- ent young farmers of Highland town- ship, was a Lkadkk visitor Tuesday. He called to renew his subscription, aud the Asheim brothers, Bernt, Kuudt and Steflert are all readers of the Lkadkk . Lars B. Asheim, father of these prominent young farmers, owns not) acres in Highland and the brothers are running these agricult- ural hanks, while the pioneer father lives on the old homestead and takes a deep interest in its management. Six hundred acres of well improved Lincoln county land represents a very comfortable fortune. The genial and happy and popular ex -county auditor, Clias. L Kundert, spent Sunday in town with Mrs. Kun- dert and the little ones Charlie dropped in to see the editor Saturday afternoon and said as lie dnipped two big sil ver plunks on the desk: "C.ood Lord, man. send us the Lkadkk ," and we supposed Charles had been on the list ever since he retired in March. He is now with Brown & Saenger of Sioux Falls, and it is safe to assert that he picks up more business for that tirin than any man they ever had on the road, and he is liable to sav when he reads this item "That's no lie." P. S. Paulson and wife, II. P. Han- son and wife, of Moe. in one car, with Mr. and Mrs. Ole Haugen and Mr. aud Mrs. Sander Brynjulson of High- land, in another car, made up an auto party that drove out to Lake Andes, in Charles Mix, to enjoy a few days tisliing last week, but when they got there the weather turned damp and cold aud a day's lishing was all they cared for. They returned home by the way of Mitchell, Salem, Montrose and Sioux Falls, traveling .T2(i miles on the entire trip according to Mr. Paulson's roadometer. Iu going out they took a due west course from Moe until they readied Wagner and then north to the lake, a tine body of water about 15 miles in length and iu places four miles wide, a fair rival to beautiful Kampeska. Mr Paulson says the trip was delightful from start to tinish, aud the ladies came home satisfied that an automobile trip is a matchless pleasure.

George Codings formerly a promin- ent Lincoln township farmer, uow a resident of Worthing and the present owner of a tine half section farm, was among the L hal' K !;; we Seomc visitors Tuesday. He called to renew his sub- scription and then expressed the opinion that the coon crop would be better thail even the boomers hoped for. Mr. Codings is a very substantial citizen and a tirst class farmer, but lie concluded that others might "Lake up the white man's burden." aud he would retire to rest and eujoy the pleasures of peace and plenty. Mr. and Mrs. Charles lleckmaster and daughter returned last Saturday fro in Bull River, British Columbia, and they may spend the fall and win- ter here, although Mr. lleckuiaster expects to make a trip to Bull River during t h e fall. Mr. Heckmaster states that everything is moving along nicely towards ultimate sue cess and the certainty of success in this great undertaking is in sight. Water-power experts from Wisconsin declare that the Bull River proposi- tion is one of the best in the north- west, and hound to be a gold mine for its owners as long as water Mows. Mr. Heckmaster is very enthusiastic over the outlook and he has been on the ground for a long time. Auction Sale. C. V.

On our way we discovered camp Burl 11 and we im- mediately lined up and saluted our assistant scout Master, lie v. Buritl. On being asked to accompany the scouts on their hike, he pleaded LliaL the family had to have dinner and lie must get it out of the river. It looked like a long job to the scouts. There were no signs of a bite while we were looking on. After taking a picture of the scouts on the "line up," we proceeded to our destination. After making camp one patrol weut about two blocks distant and we practiced signaling. Facli buy was given a question or answer to a riddle and must be able to read as well as to return a reply.

Straw had a party last Friday in honor of 11 is forty-fourth birthday, and in order t,o make it a double birthday party in honor of Miss Lucile Wendt's thirteenth year, Mr. Straw's party was continued un- til after midnight in order to cele- brate Miss Wendt's birthday which occuried oil Saturday. Twenty mem- bers of the Straw, Wendt and Dean families were present to celebrate the double birthday event, and the cele- bration was a pleasant one. Refresh- ments were served along with music and birthday souvenirs. As the witching hour of midnight approached the happy guests prepared for the endiug of one and the beginning of an other milestone In life's journey. Mr. Straw as he stood on the thres- hpld of another year was given a "sock shower" and Miss Wendt found a beautiful gold watch keeping time as she stepped across the line, {t was a most enjoyable event and Mr. Straw believes his "shower" matches up pretty well with a gold watch auy day. Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Straw and Miss Lucile Wendt and Mr. aud Mrs. Charles Reynolds went over to Rock Rapids in Mr. Straw's auto to attend the county fair. H0MK TALENT CONCERT. < >11 Wednesday evening September Kith, a home talent concert will be presented by the organ committee at the Lutheran church. This is a fourth iif a series of concerts under Lhe auspices' of this committee for the purpose of raising money to pay for the organ, and In offering this concert tu Lhe people of Canlun, we have no apologies to make. It lias been our aim to always provide high grade tal- ent for our concerts and we believe that the concensus of opinion is that we have been successful. Also in this case we feel that we have secured talent that will make good and for whom no excuses will have to be made. Being of the opinion that con- certs of a good quality are a distinct beuedt to a community in the way of promoting a taste and appreciation for really good music, the committee asks the patronage ot the public on the ground of self interest and not as a charitable donation to the organ fund. We are prepared to ivoder v:»I - ue received. The concert will lie sutliciently varied in nature to suit the must, ex- acting. There will be several piano numbers by Miss I'.ilm.i Anderson, and Mrs. Adolph Hragstad will assist with one of her excellent readings. In addition there will be a violin number by Mrs. G. II. Gulbraudsen and a vocal number by Mr. Aden Haug. The Schubert, yuarlette will appear with -^veral selections. The committee does not claim to have assembled a company of world- renowned artists, but we do claim that these people are the best in their respective specialties that can be pro- duced iu Canton, and that they are equal to a large part of the profes- sional talent that comes to this city aud superior to many companies that have entertained here. It is not nec- essary to enlarge upon the Individual merits of each member of this com- pany as all are too well and favorably known to need an introduction to a (.Janton audience. A s several of them will leave the city in the near future, this will be the only opportunity to hear them in concert fur a long time. Everybody is cordially invited t-oavail themselves of this musical treat. See next week's Issue of this paper for the program printed In full. Miss Marie Engeu is home from her visiL witli relatives in Wisconsin. Charles F. Whltmore is home from his iilack Hills visit, where he went to attend a meeting of engineers. Donald Voges, son ol Mr. and Mrs. Charles Voge3 of Big Timber, Mont., and a nephew of Mrs. E. L. Wendt has arrived to attend school and will make his home with Mr. and Mrs. Wendt. He lsU bright buy. A WELL MERITED PROTEST The luwood Herald and Lyon Coun- ty People Kick Over a Horrible Bit of Canton Road. Mrs. Dr. Jennings is home from Rusten Park, a splendid summer re- sort on the Jim. Ed L. Wendt received a marked copy of the 1 nwood Herald last Fri- day and the address designated liiui as a "member of the I'unk I load Com." anil Lhe following arLicle from ! Lhe Herald was blue penciled fur his ; consideration: ' "< M all the abominable roads iu this entire region South Dakota is en- titled to the blue ribbon on LI le stretch uf road commencing at the bridge and ending in Canton. It is surprising that the enLerprising peo- ple of Canton have not raised a storm of protest and had something dune j witli a road iu such horrible condi- tion and in such frightful shape, ol ; course the road along the way from 1 Lhe asylum Lo Lhe city is torn up on I account of construction work on Lhe sewer but that is no excuse for leav- : ing the balance of the road to care ' for itself, i'raoticaiij oeiy n*i of ] the road from luwood to the bridge has been worked, graded and dragged . this season and is in excellent shape. The hill has been newly graded and the road along the hill materially widened and otherwise made safer and better. 11 iindreds and hundreds of dollarn have been spent on Lhe roads on LI le Iowa side Lhis season atid aside from dumping iu a quanLi- ty of very coarse gravel and rocks the sl/.e of musk melons nothing has been down on the Dakota side this year If necessary perhaps the good roads [enthusiasts of Iowa might go over i and donate some t ime and money to j ou r neighbors in the interest of good i roads.'' ' The Lkaijkk is mighty glad that 'the I n wood Herald has called atten- tion to this miserable bit of road, 'which is a disgrace to Canton town- ship. Travelers complain at both ends of the route and kick and say tilings about people being dead or asleep and how things looked a hund- red years ago. ] "Member of the l'unk Road Com- ! mitt,ee," is not clearly understood by I Hrother Wendt, unless as lie says, 1 "Punk" means bad, and by this appli- cation the In wood editor is not far I out of the way, but then Brother Wendt is not a member of any " Punk road organization. He is an active member of the "good road debating society" and has talked for hours in | favor of good roads and always puts ! up cash to help any good roads move- j ment. j He assures the editorof Lhe Lkadkk j that he is going to do some strenuous j work to have Lhe "Punk" road im- | proved, and is going to ask Dr. IIum- i mer to put his Indians at work on i the sewer upheaval and have it dressed down to proper condition, and then he Is going to labor wiLh the boss of the road district and have him remove the boulders and ruts on the east end of the "Punk" road division, and by the time he wears out a new set of auto tires he expects to have the "Punk" road ready for inspection BAKING POWDER Absolutely Pure The only Baking Powder made from Royal Crape Cream of Tartar NO ALUM, NO LIME PHOSPHATE •^A w fey/; m DISTINCTION IN nnrst NEW STYLES AT SSerru!/iros t PRINTZESS COATS, AVIATION CAPS, SWEATER COATS, FRILLS, HOUSE DRESSES.

< >11 Wednesday evening September Kith, a home ta lent concert wi l l be presented by the organ committee at the Lutheran church. This i s a fourth i i f a ser ies of concerts under Lhe auspices ' of th is committee for the purpose of ra is ing money to pay for the organ, and In of fer ing this concert tu Lhe people of Canlun, we have no apologies to make. I t l ias been our a im to a lways provide high grade ta l ­ent for our concerts and we bel ieve that the concensus of opinion is that we have been successful . Also in th is case we fee l that we have secured ta lent that wi l l make good and for whom no excuses wi l l have to be made. Being of the opinion that con­certs of a good qual i ty are a dis t inct beuedt to a community in the way of promoting a taste and appreciat ion for real ly good music , the committee asks the patronage ot the publ ic on the ground of se l f interest and not as a chari table donat ion to the organ fund. We are prepared to ivoder v:»I -ue received.

The concert wi l l l ie sut l ic ient ly varied in nature to sui t the mus t , ex­act ing. There wi l l be several p iano numbers by Miss I ' . i lm. i Anderson, and Mrs. Adolph Hragstad wi l l ass is t with one of her excel lent readings . In addit ion there wi l l be a vio l in number by Mrs. G. II . Gulbraudsen and a vocal number by Mr. Aden Haug. The Schubert , yuarlet te wi l l appear with -^veral se lect ions .

The committee does not c la im to have assembled a company of world-renowned art is ts , but we do c la im that these people are the best in their respect ive specia l t ies that can be pro­duced iu Canton, and that they are equal to a large part of the profes­s ional ta lent that comes to this c i ty aud superior to many companies that have entertained here . I t i s not nec­essary to enlarge upon the Individual meri ts of each member of th is com­pany as a l l are too wel l and favorably known to need an introduct ion to a ( .Janton audience . A s several of them wil l leave the c i ty in the near future , th is wi l l be the only opportunity to hear them in concert f u r a long t ime. Everybody i s cordial ly invi ted t -oavai l themselves of th is musical treat . See next week's Issue of th is paper for the program printed In ful l .
