THE
WmiMfAL
B munis you buy a separator,
there are certain things that
you ought to know about it.
Will it skim clean under all con
ditions? Will It deliver cream of uniform
thickness?
Does it run easily and require
llttlo or no attention?
Is it simple, so that it will not
continually bo getting out of order?
Is it easy to clean?
Is It built to last?
Most important of all,
What do people who are
using it say?
The man who Is using a machine
is the man who can tell you the
truth about it. We'll be glad to
give you the names of a number of
De Laval users right around this
town some of them men who form
erly used separators of other makes.
Seo theso men and nsk them why
they changed and what they think
of the De Laval. It will be worth
your while
Tho NEW De
Laval lias every
good "featuro of
tho oldor ma
chines and many
more besides.
We'll bo glad
to let you try
out a NEW
De Laval on
your own farm
before buying.
The Reason
for Toll Charges
Less than one-fourth of our
subscribers innko three
fourths or nil tho long dls
tancu telephone calls.
The long tllstanco lines
nro used only occasionally by
tho large majority of telo
phona subscribers.
For this reason a charge is
rondo for each long distance
call rather than cover the ex
pense of providing this serv
lco by increasing the local
telophono rates.
It would be very conven
ient not to have to pay artra
to talk to neighboring towns.
If we gave free long dis
tance service, however, It
would mean that all tele
phone subscribers would pay
the cost of maintaining tho
loug distance lines which aro
used generully by only a few.

Church Notes
DAKOTA CITY-SALEM
Rev. C. R. Lowe.
As for the concert which was an
nounced for next Saturday night, it
is off. Miss Flavel Bollman writes
that only two places which had
agreed to give them a night held to
their promise and that they did not
feel justified in going out for only
two concerts. We should liked to
have had them.
Sunday evening May 27 there will
be a union memorial service at the
Lutheran church, to which all are
cordially invited, at which the pastor
will speak. This is no assumption
on the pastor's part, but an arrange
ment betwen Bro. Aucock and him.
It has been a number of years since
such a service has been herd in our
little city, and while it is a good
thing not to neglect it, it is especi
ally fitting for us in our present
times. As our patriotism irises for
our country and her traditions and
institutions, we must never forget
that the hand of God is over it all
and that the "nation that forgets
God shall be cast into hell."
A number of our Saleim people
were present at the class sermon last
Sunday night, and we ap preciated
this. Rev. Aucock preached us an
excellent sermon.
No practice for children's day was
announced for Friday night hut we
will practice any way.
The pastor enjoyed preaching to
about 50 people at Homer Sunday
afternoon.
