ste.dman.s Business College.

A recent visit TO the Steadman's Busi-
ness College gave US some insight into the
methods OF the modern commercial school.
Three rooms in the Maxwell building are
occupied and crowded 10 an extent that
will soon demand an Increase OF floor
space. Thirty-two students are now en-
rolled and Miss Mary Shumate has been
engaged as an assistant in the shorthand
department The methods used by Mr..
S,eadman in imparting knowledge Of
business affairs are OF the most practical
kind and cannot but equip the student for
handling the business transactions taught
Instructions are gwen as nearly in actual
transactions as possible, The students,
buy. sell. run variety OF businesses
using the same forms as in actual every
day business, No. only are commercial
transactions taught in most practical
manner but tho course Of instruction IN
eludes lectures On commercial law. giylne
the student familiarity with the general
laws governing business affairs. The
Steadman Business College surely has
much To commend |. TO the young men

Lettuce Prevents Smallpox.

Don't forget tha. lettuce is a preyenta-
tive Of smallpox.
So far as II is possible for human be-
ing To be protected from catching small
pox. lettuce Is a protection.
No need for vaccination whatever. Any
person who eats small quantity OF let
,uee twice day. morning and evening. is
as well protected agains, smallpox as it's
possible for anyone to be.
To DO sure. enc ought to DO clean. ough,
to live in ventilated rooms. and avoid dirt
OF all sorts. Also avoid contact with peo-
ple who have smallpox. Foolish exposure
to tho eontagion OF smallpox Is no, to be
though, Of. But there Is no need for vac
cination.
Go calmly on about your business.
Provide small quantity OF lettuce each
morning and evening. and you can feel
sure that you have protected yourself and
family in the hest possible way against.

The Mefford Computing Scale.

The Mefford Computing Scale, a full

PRIVATE BANK NO LONGER
Commercial and Savings Increases
It's Capital to $4,000 and
Becomes a State Bank.

Since its inception seven and one
half years ago the Commercial and
Savings bank has been conducted as
a private institution, and under the
management Of Cashier Kibbee it
has been developed in to one of the
solid business affairs of the city.
With the beginning of the last
half OF the year, July /, the bank
has been converted into a state bank
under the laws Of the state, and in
creased its capital stock from $40, 900
to 1926, 900, with the following stock
holders: j. t. Morrow, Fl. r.
Kibbee, j. f. Anderson, T. A. Dun
can, g.. FL. Rev, Samuel Weber, w.

LOCAL TELEPHONE SOLD
Dakota Central Telephone Co. Now
the Owners of the Local
System.

For some time there has been a
deal on between +. 3. Elce, the
owner of the local telephone system
and the Dakota Central Telephone
Co. for the purchase of the business.
The transfer of the property was con-.
summated Wednesday, the new com
pany dating its business from July
lst W. q. Bicklehaupt, of Aber-
deem, secretary of the Dakota Cen
trail, is here and carried the sale to
its consummation. The amount in
volved in the transfer was $50, 900.
Mr.. Elce constructed the system in
Mitchell six years ago and from a
small number of subscribers he has
built it up to an exchange Of consid-
erably over 300. Last winter he
built owe the system by installing
a large portion of 1T in cables that
has made the property much
valuable. MI. Elce said he would re-
main with the company for the pres
ent but vas undecided as TO his fu-
ture.
The Dakota Central is an exceeding
ly strong organization with a paid up
capital of 5000, 900 and $50 stock
holders, and in this respect is the
second largest concern in the state.
Some of the stockholders are among
the leading capitalists of the state.
Mr.. Bicklehaupt stated that within
a short time some improvements
would be made on the local lines
that would make the system much
better than it has been. Recently
the Dakota Central bought the long
distance lines OF the Western Elec-
trio Co. which gives it a large ter
ritory TO cover. To meet the de-
mands for better service the ON
pany has and is now engaged in.con-
structing additional lines, one of
which is a copper wire that extends
from Aberdeen to Mitchell, Sioux
Falls and Yankton and several other
important points throughout the
states. By means of the copper wire
conversation can be heard as dis
tinctly over the long distance as
we'll as over a local phone.

HAVE SOMETHING TO SHOW
People'are Invited to Come to Mitch
ell to Inspect the Town-We
Deliver the Goods.

A Kingsbury county paper is crit
icising Mitchell for using passes to
have the people from all parts of the
state to come here to inspect the
city and its splendid advantages for
capital location. So far as the pass
proposition is concerned Mitchell is
not doing to half the extent that
Pierre is doing, only Pierre is not
making any effort to have the people
OF the state go away out there to see
the place. II they did so it would
operate against them. The people
would then realize just how long it
takes to get to and from Pierre and
it would be the means of turning
votes to this city. On this point
Mitchell is making friends every day
as the people come to realize the
great difference in the location of
the two towns.
In answering the Kingsbury county
paper the Miller Gazette, Hand
county, and situated on the North
western road OIL the way to Pierre,
has the following to say:
The evident intention of the
article In question was to create a
sentiment in the mind OF the reader
that it is a crime for Michel to In
wife the people of the state to come
there an look the town over Now
let US see if such is the case. If you
have a fine blooded horse or a nice
home or barn or fine growing crops,
you naturally feel proud of the fact
and 1T gives you great pleasure to
invite your friends and neighbors
to come and look them over.
Mitchell is a beautiful. progressive
and thriving city, and its people
are justly proud OF its advancement
and achievements, and very nat
urally desire the people of the state
to pay them a visit. So they have
sent invitation to various people to
come and look them over. There
certainly is and can be nothing
wrong In such a proceeding and the
only reason that Pierre is not doing
the same thing is because they a
not stand the comparison. In fact
1T would be suicidal to Pierre if the
voters of the state were to see the
capital city as it really is. We say
this not In a malicious spirit but
rather in the spirit of fairness. 1t
is too bad that this state has been
handicapped since its statehood
with such a town as Pierre for its
capital-a town that no stranger can
go to without forming such opin-
ion as will injure the whole state,
and the Gazette is glad to know
that we have a town aspiring for
capital honorS which is not ashamed
to invite people within its portals.
