Honda is connected with the Kimball bank and was operating the Tukwana. Exchange the day this picture was taken. BT LES HELGELAND Re-public News Service Director PUKWANA One of the most thriving young industries or bus-; Inesses here in Pukwana is Coffee; Inc. It's a cooperative venture that! started when Pauline's Cafe was closed a couple of months ago and left the coffee thirsty citizens of Pukwana without a place to get a good cup of coffee.

Wayne Beach, manager of the Weiss Hardware, and Lumber here, tried to alleviate that situation a bit by making coffee in an eight- cup coffee for his customers and friends. The demand was more than could be supplied without hiring a full time coffee brewer so the citizenry and visiting traveling men each pitched in a half dollar and a 30 cup urn was purchased. It was set up on a table in the back of the Weiss Hardware here and business lias really boomed ever since. In order to cut the overhead, paper cups are used and are re used. A person, upon receiving his cup, writes his name on it and uses it every time he stops for coffee.

Beach had no shelves on which to put the cups in the hardware store, so told the coffee customers to "hang them up where they could find room." Well, they found room! There are cups hanging from the tines of every pitchfork in the place, they are hanging on the spouts of oil and gas cans and even some off the rake handles. Some coffee drinkers even hid their cups in the stoves on display in the store. "I find them just about everyplace here now." Beach said. He estimates that there are more than! (- a hundred hanging around which vJl belong to the folks of the 1-11 nity or the regular salesmen who rmVPn loPTOn also have a cup. "If they forgot UHLUUll J-llCUJLCU where they put their cup," Beach said, "they really have quite a time finding it." Beach makes most of (he coffee.

Sometimes in the morning, rolls and doughnuts are made available with everyone dropping his contribution into the kitty an empty coffee can with a slot in the lid. From this money the necessary supplies arc purchased. The chief coffee brewer for Coffee is Wayne Beach, manager of the Weiss Hardware. He's shown taking a cup for himself from the 30-cup urn which was purchased by contributions of Pukwana business men and residents. It's strictly a self-serve system.

But the bets are even among some of the non betters that these aren't the only candidates South Dakotans will find on their primary ballots in June. Some of the people who claim to be in the know, feel certain that Ralph Herseth of Houghton, unsuccessful candidate for governor enly expressed the feeling that Herseth would gve the Republican party plenty of trouble in 1958.

But there's another hat still hanging on a peg in a ranchhouse near Gettysburg that a good many people are wondering about. That's the ten gallon hat of Lt. Gov. L. R.

"Roy" Houck, a Gettysburg rancher, who is expected by many to get into the Republican battle to make it a three- way race for the governorship. But there are many who are still a bit dubious as to Houck's plans. There's no question about the un-, predictability of Houck who would servocl in tho auditorium on the second night.

Action Starts To Halt Relocation Of State Prison Farm At Crooks move the farm, croached by the SIOUX FALLS (ffi Court action to halt relocation of the state prison farm to the Crooks, S. area was started here Friday by more than 200 persons. State officials have planned to now being en- spread of Sioux Falls at its north edge, to the Crooks vicinity. The proposed relocation is about 10 miles north of Sioux Falls.

Numerous residents of the Crooks area have protested the move the past several weeks to officials and in' letters to newspapers. Circuit Judge John T.

(Republic News Service Photo) Wintersteen, alleged the state had offered to buy land of the Marion Chase Paulton White estate for $79,000 and has paid $7,900 down. The court test also challenged a 1955 legislative enact t. The complaint said the law gives the Board of Charities and Corrections a mandate to sell the present prison farm. However, the title of the law merely gives authority and is permissive In character, the Wintersteen group charged. Several legislators are alleged to have told the group seeking the in junction that they did not know there was a mandatory provision in the law.

Other claims include: Land of plaintiffs adjoining the White estate land would be adver sely affected in market value, The present Minnehaha County poor farm of 320 acres is available to South Dakota for additional land as a prison farm. Relocation will require more money than will be available from sale of the present prison farm and will involve more taxes. The estate land would be removed from the school district tax rolls. Provision of the 1955 law to use prison industry fund money Is void because the provision is not expressed in the title.

Facilities Of Wagner School System Surveyed WAGNER Wagner public was just a method of trying tojed for commercial firms and feed smoke put any intentions on seed firms in the city audi- part of Houck. torium There are others who think that if Houck should announce for the congressional nomination that it might provide a reason for Foss to get into the race to oppose him in the June primary.

It is pretty well known that Foss and Houck have not always seen eye to eye on many matters which they feel might add fuel to any race between those two should jschools this week underwent a close examination by representatives of the South Dakota Department of Public Instruction and the college of education of the University of South Dakota, Supt. Gordon A. Aaland reports. A school facilities survey, a cooperative service of the State Department of Public Instruction and the USD College of Education, was conducted in Wagner at the invitation of the local board of education and school administrators. Object of the survey was to determine the adequacy of the educational facilities and curriculum in Wagner both for present and anticipated enrollments.

The examining team was composed of James C. Schooler, building consultant for the Department of Public Instruction, and Dr. LeRoy Nelson and Harry Dykstra of the USD college of education. Man Wanted In Arkansas Held In Jail At Burke By Republic News Service Roufcon, was apprehended in Gregory County and is being held in county jail awaiting extradition to Arkansas where he has a charge of obtaining personal property under false pretenses. Routon appeared before County Justice Charles Rust, Herrick, Jan.

15, and refused to waive extradition, A fugitive warrant was issued and he is being held in county jail for 20 days on $1500 bail. They feel that Foss, by stepping out now, might enter into politics at a later date with a perfect record but feel that should the popular South Dakota governor ose to McGovern it might end his political career. It's no secret that there are many South Dakota Republican circles who would like to see Foss tangle with Sen. Karl Mundt in I960. They predict that Foss would defeat the former Madison school teacher.

Which only goes to prove that all of the interest in the 1958 election extends beyond 1958.... ir And you cannot talk about governors and candidates for the governorship in South Dakota without mentioning the attorney general, because many of the state's executives have moved into the governor's chair after earlier occupying the attorney general's office. Earlier Sen. Robert Hirsch of Tripp had been mentioned as a possible candidate for that office on the Republican ticket but word in Hutchinson county is that Hirsch is going to seek relection to his legislative post. Then there is George Wuest of Lake Andes, present assistant attorney general, who has been active in Young Republican Circles and well known across the state for his work in that organization.

In addition, he has had considerable experience in the attorney general's office and prior to that as the Charles Mix county states attorney where he was elected as a Republican candidate for that office in what is normally a tough Democratic county. Another Republican who has been mentioned is Val Higgins, former state safety director, now an assistant attorney general to Saunders. Higgins, likewise is well- known across South Dakota having headed the Junior Chamber of Commerce in the state as its presi dent and having made many contacts. Like Wuest, he also has had much legal experience, serving as Lyman county states attorney for more than two terms. Another GOP candidate who may surprise some should he announce is Rep.

Louis Lokken of Watertown, a young first termer in the South Dakota legislature, who has political aspirations beyond serving in house of representa i s. Whether this will be the year that he would like to try to climb the ladder is another question, however. On the Democratic side of the ledger, a man you hear mentioned quite often is Parnell Donohue of Bonesteel, a young Democrat who has been active in that party's activities. He is currently the Gregory county states attorney in his second term, which would leave him available should the Democrats select him to seek that office of attorney general. But in addition to being named as a possible candidate for attorney general on the Democratic ticket, there are some who think that the Bonesteel attorney might make a good Demo candidae for lieutenant governor.

There are some Democrats, though, who would like to see John Frank Lindley of Chamberlain run again as that party's lieutenant governor candidate. Lindley, an attorney, gave Houck quite a chase for that office in the 1956 election and many feel that he and Herseth again would make quite a formiddable team. Lindley's name has been linked with that of Sen. Cobb Chase of Watertown as a possible team with Chase seeking the governorship and Lindley the lieutenant governorship. Prom all of this, one can come to one conclusion there are going to be a lot of hats in the ring if everyone mentioned should de cide to do what some people late he is going to do.

Time ol course will provide the answer. Band Boosters Club At Tyndall Plans Carnival By Republic News Service TYNDALL The Band Boosters Club met Monday evening to make plans for its carnival.
