A COW Insurance company with TWEEN
ty-iye members is in operation in Ken
among cow owners. When any
one Of them loses a COW, an assessment
Of 81 each is levied, to go toward pur-
chasing a new COW. This is n unique
insurance company, and seems to lie q
very good and neighhorly thing.
l)akota Farmer: Clate Iinan, editor
Of the Kinlball GRAPHIC, has a better
business head than some Of his brethren
who preside over the destinies CT the
South Dakota country press. In a re-
cent Article he calls attention to an ex-
aggeration which has crept into too
many Dakota papers to do the stock bust
ness any permanent good.
Time was when a man in business got
trade whether he advertised or not, but
that day has gone by. The public has
been educated to understand that the
foremost merchants advertise their
wares and that those who do not adver-
tise are so far beyond the times that no
woman who loves to buy up-to-date goods.
ever thinks Of patronizing them.
Arthur Mckee has bought the 160
acres in Plaindeld, formerly owned by

OF 10 acres. He also has a garden tract

good shape to defy drouth and hot winds

When the census agent calls with that
big book undar his arm, don't monkey
with him, for he wears Uncle Sans
badge of office, and your Uncle Sam is q
bad man to fool with. There is q heavy
fine for refusing to answer the necessary
questions, and the census men are pos
itiyely forbidden to dlvulge any inror-
nation as to their work; so don't ply
them with questions. The work is slow
and tedious enough at best for the cen-
sus enumeration and everybody will ex-
pedite the work by promptly answering
all questions asked without delay and in
o business-like way.
Redield Journal-ObseTver In very
many cities in the state, citizens are
prohibited from letting the city water
run all night long, night after night,
and indeed the majority Of cities limit
the use Of water to SO many hours In
the evening. Ont hero In Dakota folks
come pretty near doing as they please.
Very often city officials fear displeasing
somebody by insisting upon the abate-
ment Of q nuisance or7conforming with
an ordinance. Speaking about water;
Red6eld citizens use it longer for less
money than n other city on earth.
A committee of three has been ap-
pointed Jointly by the. county commits
sioners, the board of education and
Mayor Wyant, consisting OF Louis Rich
ards, a. s. Stuyer, and I. S. Reber, to see
what can be done about disposing Of
lots in Kimpail which have been sold
for taxes, and on which no taxes are
being collected. The idea is to get the
lots into someone's hands who will pay
tho taxes on them. When the commit
tee gers through with the job, we would.
like to have them find some way to pay
the taxes on three times as much more
vacant property in the town for the use
oft, as a personal favor 10 yours truly.
Walter Beecham, representing the
American Refrigerator Transportation
company, was here last week, Interview
ing the creamery folks hereabonts with
a view to making up a full car every
week to go over his line. IL this can be
done it will make quite a saving in
freight for the creameries winch ship
from this station. Mr.. Beecham was
here a year ago on the same mission,
but at that time the %Eeighborlng cream
cries were not making enough butter to
make out q car with the KimbalI cream
cry and the project had to be dropped.
This year the outside creameries are
getting right to the front and Agent
Harvey says that there is enough to
make q full car every week.
The Minneapolis Sheep Farmer per-
tinently says that two years ago such
wire as is now used for fencing, was
S1.7O per hundred; in Minneapolis, to-
day; it IS quoted at $4.O6, yet wheat is
about the same price, end the daily
papers are shouting about The prosper
'ity OF the farmers! II the farmer com-
plains he is a calamity bowler, yet tile
newspapers ars growing about the
paper trust, and advocating the abolish
ment Of the tariff on paper, SO that they
may buy their paper in Canada. Well,
il this would be good for the news
papers what is the matter with the
farmer getting his wirssand nails and
fence posts and lumber there2 Wesee
no fault in this logic. 5s
