DE SMET MUSIC TRIP Taking in the sights and sounds of America The Smithsonian Museums are still closed due to COVID, so they opted to take a cherry blossom bike tour of Washington, D.C. They split up into four groups and rode along the Po- tomac River. The groups toured many of the monuments and memorials as well as the U.S. Capitol. Students got to tour Mount Ver- non, home of George Washington. COVID has placed limits on visitors allowed inside the home, so the group toured the grounds. The group also traveled to Pennsylvania and toured Gettysburg National Military Park. NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE Once in Nashville, students toured some iconic places like the Country Music Hall of Fame and Studio B, where Elvis recorded many of his songs. Another sight visited was the Grand Ole Opry, and the students enjoyed a nice dinner on the General Jackson Riverboat Dinner Cruise. They also toured The Hermitage, An- drew Jackson’s home.

IROQUOIS NEWS 1911: Inventor U E O L LOG of dandelion ailment has huge fortune waiting April 20, 1911 The B. D. Stephen’s carpenter crew is now engaged in putting the finish- ing touches on a fine new country home for Adam Fenner. It will be but a few short weeks until lawn owners will be discuss- ing with their neighbors the various plans for exterminating the pesky dandelion. The man who invents a speedy cure for the dandelion ailment has a huge fortune awaiting him. J. W. Lane received by express one day last week a small alligator from Florida, a gift from Mrs. Lane’s fa- ther who had been touring the south. The alligator showed signs of stom- ach trouble or appendicitis shortly after its arrival and only lived a few hours after landing in his new and happy home. A diagnosis of his al- ligatorship’s ailment failed to disclose whether its demise was due to the long journey, change of climate or change of diet. At any rate the alliga- tor is dead – not too dead to skin, per- haps, but reasonably dead.

April 23, 1931 The Armin Maytag Sales of Iro- quois announces the opening of an exclusive Maytag and Frigidaire store in De Smet, with Lyle Wheeler of Huron in charge. The company now has stores in Iroquois, Huron and De Smet. Our people should not flatter them- selves that they have had a monopoly on dust storms this spring. The sort of weather we have experienced has been quite general over the country. The Standard Oil Company recent- ly put a new gasoline on the market to sell at a lower price than the average brands. It is colored blue.

April 24, 1941: Over 1000 purebred baby chicks (AAA heavy breeds) will be given away absolutely free at the annual Chick Day to be held in Iroquois on Sat., May 10. Practically every busi- ness place in Iroquois is participating in this big event, and everybody in this community has an equal op- portunity to go home with 25, 50, 75 or possibly more of these high-grade chicks. It all depends on you. The rules governing the event are very simple: Registration for Chick Day is now on and will continue un- til 1:30 p.m., May 10. Ask for specific rules at every business place – they will vary. No registrations accepted in name of minor, except where minor is head of the family. Members of donor’s family and employee’s family not eligible to win chicks. One hun- dred seventy-five chicks will be given away in novelty events – a real sur- prise! No limit on amount of chicks any individual may win. No prize smaller than 25 purebred chicks. If you want to compete for all the prizes, it is necessary that you regis- L LOG O E U ter at every business place cooperat- ing in this event as the chicks donated by each individual business man will go only to those who have visited his place and registered under his regula- tions. 26 WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 2021 KINGSBURY JOURNAL | kingsburyjournal.com
