The clerks in the several stores
of the town have secured the
signatures of all the merchants
of the city to an agreement to
close their places of business at
an early hour during the sue
ceeding four months commenc-
ing with the new year. All the
stores will be closed at 6 o'clock
excepting the drug stores, and
these will close at 8. The post
Office will also be open until $50
o'clock and mail will be taken
from the outside box until Z
o'clock. The clerks are certain
ly entitled to this respite from
long hours behind the counter
during the slack season, and they
ask the public to assist them in
making the early closing salts
factory to all concerned by Sc
curing their purchases before
the hours named, that a prompt
and general adherence to the
early closing rule may follow.

Obituary..

Mrs. Henrietta Josephine, wife of

1912, in Germany, and died December
20, 1901, in Kilborn township, Grant
county, S. D. In 1863 she was married
to her surviving husband. This
union was blessed with IL children, of
whom nine are now living. She was
afflicted with consumption for about
Is years, of which disease she died.
She was o member of the Kilborn
United Evangelical church. In her
suffering she was patient, contented
and confided in God. She was true
wife and good mother. She leaves q
bereaved husband, nine children, nine
grand children, brother, two sisters
and many friends who mourn her
departure and hope for the eternal
reunion. The interment took place on
Tuesday, December %, 1901. An Inn
pressive feature was the carrying of
her remains to the church by her six
boys. The services were conducted
by Rev. D. G. Houck.

A Three-HOur school Day

The South Dakota Educator.
the leading educational journal
in the state copies the following
concerning the short hour system
in the public schools. The article
will be of particular interest to
Milbank patrons of the schools
as the system is in partial vogue
here:
Educators have known for
some time that it was just as
well for small children to be in
school half a day as all day, in
three hours as five, and nearly
every superintendent has made
something of an effort to apply it
but always with the result that
the parents and press have raised
a great ado over it. The word
"half" has killed it. IA fifty
cent dollar" has been the impress
sion conveyed.
Now let us make an honest
statement Of the case and fight it
out to finish with prejudiced
parents and sensational press.
1t is everyway as well, and in
many ways much better, for
children under ten years of age
to be in school three hours day
than five. They will learn just
as much and be as far advanced
at the end of the time. Add
twenty per cent to the teachers
salaries, and let them teach both
forenoon and afternoon, six hours
a day. It will be better for the
teachers, as well as for the
pupils, and will save considerable
by way of school buildings,
which is becoming a serious
feature of school expense in
large cities where a school lot
often costs 800, 900.
Cease talking about a "half"
day school, but speak rather of
three hour day for the smaller
children. DR.. Stanley Hall has
the courage of his convictions;
now let US all speak up as honest
ly and courageously as he has
spoken. x.'

From Eastern Washin.tOn.

Editor Herald d-Advance--Dear Sir:
OF late l have had so many letters of
, inquiry from different parties in Grant
County in regard to this state that |
thought | would write you letter for
publication. In regard to the climate
we have been here four months, and
during that time it has been all that
could be desired. The last two weeks
have been the coldest since we came,
the thermometer standing at from $50
to 300 above. 1t is quite warm today,
and the ladies are going to church
without wraps and men without over.
coats.
The water is very good and is soft.
[ have been told that there is not a
cistern in Spokane. People prefer city
water to rain water for washing. The
thickest ice they have ever been able
to get here is about eight inches. 1t
may seem strange to the people of
South Dakota to hear of peope here
using ice in December to keep butter
cool, but I had to buy ice yesterday
to fill up my refrigerator. OF course
| reserve the right to complain of the
weather later on should the occasion
require. There are fine opportunities
in this state for man that wants to
rustic. There are fortunes made in
mining, numbering and farming. One
of my customers sold his gold mine for
S3OO,OO Another man filed on a
quarter section of timber land and
sold it for $4,000. Another farmer
told me that he sold 800 worth of
potatoes from five acres of land.
Another sold $1,000 worth of grain
hay from 100 acres. Prices of land
range from SOC to $500 per acre Accord
ing to quality and location.
Living is somewhat higher, but not
much. Eggs are 40c per dozen; butter
80 to 35c per h.: bacon 18c: ham II
to lSc; beefsteak IL to 1Sc; sugar, II
lbs. for dollar; coffee Is to 4Oc per
lb: flour $3 to $3.50 per barrel. Pota-
toes 81. 10 per cwt.: onions Sl.25: beans
So per cwt.: apples Sc per h.; lemons
25c per doz: oranges 25c to 35c per
dozen: fine Italian prunes &c; cheese
Zoe: honey zoe; kerosene 25c a gallon;
wood 50 to 81 cord. grain-hay S12
per ton; timothy hay Sl4 per ton: al
falfa Sl5 per ton.
l bought out small stock of groc-
cries, expecting to run it until spring,
but my business has so increased that
feel warranted in staying at the bus
mess. Am doing a business of from
$50 to $3.50 per day. We get but little
paper money in this country, the mon
ey being largely gold and silver. I
have met few people here from Grant
county, among them being Mr.. Sam
Roberts and family, and Mr.. Jerry
Rickell and family, and all seem to be
prospering and happy.
Should any one wish further partic-
ulars of the country will be glad to
furnish any information if they will
address me at 13O east Indian avenue,
Spokane, Wafh. Wishing you a
merry Christmas and happy new
year, | remain respectfully yours,
E. A. BUCHANAN.
