Polish a Stove.
No Waste Odor-or Dirt.

By sprinkling Sitter Stove Polish on the stove
and then rubbing with damp rag and gently
brushing with dry cloth, q brilliant, JET black
iustre Is obtained. Sitter Stove Polish comes
In q large box with perforated top, through
which the polish is sifted just like peppering q
beefsteak. Sitter Stove Polish Is made of pure
powdered graphite, which is not affected by fire,
produces the most brilliant polish, and when
applied, won't rub off. It is odorless. It never
dries up. It does not require soaking In water

Polish of any dealer at cents box, 10 cent
box contains more than twice as much. Insist
on the yellow label with the hand.

Tendency Of the Times

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventive measures. The
best thought of the world is being
given TO the subject. 1t is easier and
better to prevent than to cue. 1T has
been fully demonstrated that pneu-
monia. one of the most dangerous
1 diseases that medical men have. to
contend with, can be prevented by
the use of Chamberlains Cough REM
( iedy. Pnemonia always results from a
cold or from an attact Of influenza
grip, and it has been observed that
this remedy counteracts any tendency
OF these diseases toward pneumonia.
This has been fully proven in many
thousands Of cases ia which this REM
edy has been used during the great
prevalence Of colds. and gri in recent
years, and can be relied upon with
implicit confidence. Pneumonia often
results from a slight cold when no
danger is appreiiende led until It is sud- (
denly discovered THAT there is fever
and difficulty in breathing and pains
in the chest, then il is announced
that the patient has pneumonia. Be
on the safe side and take Chamber

GLlOTON
FARMERS
A Grain Buying Association
Chartered.
CALL FOR STATE MEETING
OF Representatives of Similar
Organizations at Grot0n
March End.

Those GIoton farmers seem to be in
earnest in their determination to have
fair prices for grain. Their organ
ization has been chartered under the
laws of the state and the following
officers elected: N. O. P Synoground,
president; Forester Ell. Smith, treas
Irer; e. J. Mather, secretary. The
officers together with T.. j. Lafky,
c. Won Wald, A. w. Kruegerand John
Dickerson are the board of directors.
They are desirous of cooperating
with similar organizations as far as
possible and to perfect such arrange
.ments and to strengthen and encour-
age the movement, they have issued a
call for meeting inthe Opera house
at Groton on March End. Following
il a portion of the call;
1T has been universally observed
that those market points for farm
products that have farmers organ
iZations, or independent buyers who
refuse to pool their business profits,
Invariably obtain better prices than
those not So provided; also that at
points SO favored the companies
known as the old line companies use
their united strength to crush such
competition, and unless loyal support,
tenacious perseverance and good man
agement are obtained, they usually
succeed. Then what? Margins are
widened. Lower grading obtains.
Greater dockage is taken, etc, etc.
"Haying noticed all this, q large
number of representative farmers
have formed an association and or
ganized under the laws of South Da-
kota for the purpose of buying and
selling all kinds Of grain, at any point
where sufficient support is given to
warrant the undertaking, and are de
sirous of uniting all such existing far
mers' organizations. The more unit
edsand extended our operations the
greater possibilities for success.
with this in view, we have called
a meeting to be held in the opera
house in Groton, on the I'd day OF
March at l o'clok p. m., for the pur-
pose of discussing and perfecting such
organization.
Grain growers from any locality
collectively or singly, are urgently in
vited to be present. Would suggest
that those at distant points centri
butte funds and send a representative
! with ideas to express.
/ You can't afford to miss this meet
ing. The time is ripe It is up te
you. II you have any desire to bettel
1your market for grains, be present il
person If possible; if not, by repre-
sentative. We are going to win. Gel

The meeting did not occur un-
til evening when members from
the south part of the state and
from the west arrived. 1t soon
became apparent that those ad-
vocating az early convention
would meet with opposition.
Only three towns were in the
field for convention honors,
9ankton, Sioux Falls aud Aber-
deem. It soon became plain that
a majority of the committee we're
in favor of two conventions.
Then the effort was made by the
friends of the aspiring towns to
effect combination, each in the
combine taking one of the con-
yentions. ItJne out before the
meeting was called to or,ser that
fbnikton and Sioux Falls had got
together. FL. S. Volkmar and
Major Barrett each made an ear
nest appeal in behalf Of Aberdeen.
Yankton had had a, convention
since Aberdeen and to put both
conventions in the south east
corner of the state seemed an
injustice. The boys from the
north part of the state got around
petty lively and soon had the
combination broken. A motion
was made to give Sioux Falls the
