PYRO PAINT
Why every one using paint should
inyestioatp II

Why every one using paint should
investigate it.
/. Because it will make a new roof
last as long again.
2. Because it will make your old roof
last as long as new one at but a
fraction of the cost.
3. Because if the shingles are buckled
up by the action of the elements it
will tlatten them out, making the roof
look smooth and giving it the APP
pearance of a slate roof.
4. Because Pyro Paint sinks into the
shingles, filling up the pores of the
wood, thus stopping the rot and de-
cay.
:. Because it is the best and cheapest
paint for any kind of roofing, and
you can stop leak in a moments
time.
Is. Because Pyro Paint does not spoil
cistern water, but aids in keeping it
pure, and viii out-last any other
paint three times,
Because il Pyro Paint does not do
what is promised the manufacturer
agrees TO refund the money paid
for it.

State In

The board of regents of the state,
representing the state, is defendant in
an action for damages brought by the
contractor who was to erect the Aber-
deem normal school, and who claims
S13 900 damages through the partial
destruction Of that building by fire
during the process Of it's construction.
The contractor takes as a basis for
his suit a contention that the board of
regents Is obliged by law to keep state
institutions in process Of erection in
sured while in the course Of erection.
The specifications provided that the
contractor should keep the structure
insured, while the contract provided
that the board was to keep the struc-
ture insured at the contractors sx-
pense.
The loss involved in the connagra-
ton was about $18 5000. while the in
was for but $4,000.
The board claims the contractor
compromised with the creditors, pay
ing a certain per cent OF the indebted
ness for materials furnished and fur
ther agreeing to bring suit ~ noted
for damages, and the boaro asserts
that the contractors creditors are be-
hind the present suit.
1t is also claimed by the board that
there are offsets to be made sufficient
to cover any claim made in the suit

ton.
Thursday, Feb. IL, is the date set
for the improved stock breeders of
South Dakota to meet In Mitchell for
the purpose Of organizing a South Da-
kOta Improved Stock Breeders associ-
alton. ,
This association is aimed to include
all classes OF p%ure-bred cattle, hogs.
sheep, horses and poultry. Its purpose
Is to hold a meeting annually at some
accessible point in the state, when a
two-day program will be given treat
ing on all the important phases Of the
breeding business, with discussions and
exchanging of views, theories and prac-
tees relating to the successful rearing,
handling and improving Of thorough
bred stock.
Breeders of this grade Of cattle are
rapidly increasing. Many have brought
In herds Of registered stock from East
ern states, and still more will come.
while not a few Of the older residents
who are of the progressive turn have
turned their attention to better stock.
There never has been an organiza-
ton Of this kind in South Dakota, and
the breeders begin to feel that they
were not making the best use OF the
opportunities at hand, hence the call
for the coming meeting was made.
AS a special feature of this meeting
Prof. Wilson of the Brookings college
has been secured to attend and give an
address on the Live Stock Interests
Of the State" which cannot fail to be
interesting and instructive.
The meeting Is called for 3 o'clock at
the court house.
