THESE MEN WORKED.
What a South Dakota Farmer and His
Two Sons Did Last Year.

Two Sons Did Last Year.
Charles ~Glissendorf. a farmer living
near White Lake, has just figured up
and ascertained what he accomplished
last season. The record made by him
Is a good one, and shows what can be
done by the average South Dakota
farmer. He recently finished thresh.
ing 1000 bushels OF small grain, 5000
bushels of which was wheat and the
remainder oats and speltz. He has
now completed the work OF husking
his corn and finds that the 225 acres
devoted to this crop yielded him an
aggregate OF 1925 bushels, or an av.
erage OF As bushels to the acre. He
took care of this large crop without
paying out a dollar for hired help, be-
ing assisted only by his sons. That
the members OF the Glissendorf family
are workers is shown by the fact that
the head of the family, In addition to
his other duties, found time to milk
twenty COWS. The sale of milk and
the increase in the value OF his 100
head Of cattle netted him the sum of
$1,000. The grain and corr raised by
him at market prices is worth 5 6,S95.
Thus the income from his last sea
sons work amounted to s7,95S.

The 1903 live stock shipments from
Chamberlain shows a remarkably
healthy condition of the range coun-
try west OF Chamberlain, considering
the depressed market OF the present
day and the hard winter OF 1902. They
demonstrate that as a cattle country
the region west Of the Missouri river
is equaled by no other section in the
United States. Take the figures OF
the number Of cars of live stock for
warded and received since 1898 at this
point, anu they make CT impressive
showing. In Chamberlain alone, since
and including 1898. up to Dec. 81. 1908,
there have been forwarded 1921 cars
of live stock, while 1904 cars have
been received. Here are the figures:
Forwarded-1S9S, 253 cars: 1S9, 263
cars; 1900, 512 cars; 1901, 470 cars;
1902, S55 cars; 1903, S3S cars.

As the days swiftly roll along. the
county seat fight in Charles Mix be-
comes more and mixed up.
The complications began on Dec. %,
when Platte jumped into the field for
petitioners, and when, on Jan. 5, at
the opening session of the county
board, the boomers for Platte present
ed a petition signed by 1,52S persons
and asked an immediate and per-emp-
tory granting of the petition Objec-
tlon was made to railroading such an
important matter through in such a
summary manner The board decided
that notice should be given to all con
cerned as to when they wee to act
on the petition. II was generally sup
posed that a week or ten days would
elapse before any action was taken
by the board. and the next afternoon
they sent word to attorneys that ac-
ton would be taken at / o'clock p. m,
Jan. Z. This not being a reasonable
time. the Geddes supporters obtained
an injunction against the board, which
held matters up for a week longer.
At this time it was agreed among
the members of the bolrd and Platte
and Geddes that Geddes was to fill out
q petition containing 1904 names and
673 remonstrapces against the Platte
petition. Such was done on Jan. ID.

A Woman's Wealth,
Paine'S Celery
Compound
GIVES VIGOR AND
STRENGTH TO DEBILITATED AND
RUN DOWN WOMEN.

1t is maintained by many distinguished
writers that the greatness of a nation depends
much upon the physical condition of its
women. The general conditions which con-
tribute to health and long life, are those which
do not imply rapid and unequal exhaustion
of those powers by which life is maintained.
While we assert that the women of our land
stand peerless for beauty and the virtues that
make them lovable, we cannot hide the fact
that there are thousands in our midst who,
owing to overwork, worry, household cares,
and an unequal exhaustion of life power, have
become weak, nervous, sleepless, and debih-
tated.
We bring 10 the attention of all weary,
respondent, hopeless, and siclIy women
earth's great rescuer and health builder,
Paine's Celery Compound. Thousands of
healthy women around us owe their present
vigor, activity, and robustness to Paine'S
Celery Compound. Mrs. Stephen Smith, St.
Paul, Mimi, tells how she was snatched from
the grave; she says:-
81 had bad attack of Ia grippe this spring
and was at deaths door, and no one ever
expected me to recover. I was so weak that
as soon as they brought me out of one faint
I was in another. l could not take any
nourishment, and doctors medicines did me
no good. A friend advised my husband to
get me bottle of Paine's Celery Compound,
which he did, but had no faith in it. The
second day after taking the Compound,
began to get real hungry and took an interest
in things. had everything that money and
loving care could supply, and with that and
Paine's Celery Compound, I am now doing
my own work, while three months ago / was
almost in the grave. 1 know that owe my
health and strength to Paine's Celery Com
pound, and shall ALWAYS recommend il. -
