The Community Telephone Company was organized and began to serve their patrons in 1905. Along with this new venture came the or- ganization of the Farmer's Elevator during the same year. In the year 1906 on April 2, A. J. Mclnnes was elected President of the newly organized Dazey Co-op- ative Store which was later to become the sole survivor of the many, many Co- operative stores organized over the state during this period. C. P. Stowman be- came manager at this time. Later during the same mcnth the nation was shocked to hear of the San Francisco catas.ropl1e and during the month of June, Harry K. Thaw, heir to large land holdings in Barnes County and the Dazey area. shot and killed Standford White. The lot upon which the Bennett School now stands was deeded over from the Thaw est-ate.

Mr, Whipple claimed 85 dollars per month as his reward for handling such char- acters as Clarence Locklin. Carl Oglesby, Fred Larson and others. Dazey High School boasted an eleven man football team during this time tsee cutl and Ame 5 E s 5 made 3 commendable record too.

On that day the school child- xen over the nation were paying tribute to the Father of our Democracy , FGD- ruary 22, 1909, the following item appeared in .the Valley City Times Record. For hours yesterday afternoon and last night the .streets of South Omaha were in the hands of a mob of 5.000 citizens engaged in beating and shooting Greek laborers in retaliation of a policeman by a Greek, and also fthe following item, In Ottumwa. Iowa, negroes are fleeing the city as a result of a race war. In the years that followed, America knew of its first lfansccnllllental flight, the Great Northern Railway came through this PHP! of the State., the Thurston Hotel burned on about December 15, 1911, the Titanic was wrecked on an ice- berg -and the average year that we alW9-YS heal' about. 1913, Came and DHSSS-ld to introduce the year of 1914 which turned out to be the Year of the great rust, great sleet storm, and a great war's beginning. While 19.15 was busy producing the biggest crop 'that this country has ever seen , Vienna, Austria was about to produce Hedy Lamar. In 1916, the ye-ar of the big rust, Thomas Mooney first came to trial for the Preparedness Day bombing, Leo Radcliff built the building which was to house the progressive Dazey Commercial and later 'to become Mosher's Grocery Store. Black Stem Rust took the wheat crop that year and the variety of wheat consisted mostly of the old Velvet.Shaft wheat. Along with 1917 came America's participation in the great war together with the bar1ey.bread.years , Red Cross Sewing and knitting activity sprung up all over the country. Governor L. J. Frazier signed the sufferage bill and Superin- tendant Penrose of Dazey took a basketball team- to Valley City to C01T1'D9te in the County. Tourney. The boys defeated Svea in the first round and lost to Ux- bridge in the .second game. 1 1918 was a year of mixed sorrow and blessings for Dazey as well as the rest of the nation. The tragic' news of the year was the devastation wrought by the flu epidemic. There were days when one scarcely knew who might next be fatally striken' with the illness. Dazey suffered its share and the memory of this period cannot but bring to mind the heroic efforts exercised by Dr. Kellog in the Rogers-Dazey area, I am told that the good Doctor worked days during the terrible months of October and November without rest. In the midst of this epidem- ic, progress took one more tremendous stride and the new lights :were turned on in Dazey November 3, 1918. The feeling of despondency was further Based, when on the morning of November 11, President Wilson penciled this message to the people of America. My Fellow Countrym-en: The armistice was signed this morning. Everything for which America fought has been accomplished. It will now 'be our fortunate duty to assist by example, by sober, friendly councel, and by material aid in the establishment of just democracy throughout the world. In addition we might add., 1918 produced the best crop that this country has ever seen. -,,---.,-.A.--- - - - - - .fvvvv-v-.A.f-.-.-.-.-.-.-,-vvve-.-.-.-.-.-N,-.-v-.-. .-v-.-.Ivy-.-.-,-ve-.-.-ef-.-.-sAfv-.-.QJVV .rv-.-.-.-.-.-..-.-,-.x-.-.-.- fvvvvvsfvs.
