Mitchell paid out s34. 900 during the
years 1888, 1884. 1885. and 1886, in pre-
miums 1t fairs held for the purpose of
advertising the territory, and has been
adverti,ing the wealth and glory of our
young state every year since 1886.
That's Mitchell's record without the
capital. What would Mitchell do for
the state If she had the capital? Every
farmer in Lincoln County knows what
Mitchell would do and will do capital
or no capital. Mitchell has doomed
the state for Fl years. Pierrs's chief
claim to glory or shame is hsr repudi.

The removal OF the capital is moi
asked on the grounds that the western
part Of the state has reached the maxi
mum Of development. Mitchell ha.
from the first tried to avoid any refer,
|ence to the western country. No one
denies that the western part Of the
state will be settled far beyond its
present population. It is not the ques.
tion In any sense, and when it unbid.
dinghy arises 1t is simply dispute over
Whist per cent Of the total population
the western half Of the state will even
tually produce. The capital removal.
lists simply maintain that whether the
settlement in what have been known
for years ss the great grazing districts
OF the state 10 big or little. Pierre's in.
accessibility still remains; that no
changes in the country west Of the
Missouri can make Pierre convenient
Of access tosthe $4,000 people eas. Of
the Missouri who have made the state
what it is; thst 1t will take the west
half of-the state like the eastern por.
tion and several generations beyond
that to place Pierre in railroad com.
munication with the people in the
western part Of the state admitting
;thst they will be there in time. The
capital removal advocates hold. also,
that the east half Of the state has not
set In batch Of cement-to use q
Pierre expression but that it's era of
development is as much in Its infancy
Is any other part Of the state; that
It will continue to grow. and grow as
it always has done. faster than any
other part of II outside Of the gold pro.
ducing districts Of the Black Hills,
and therefore hold its present percent
age Of population. Mitchell claims the
right to present this particular phrase
Of the capital question in simple JUS
tice to itself, and in doing 90 spurns
the charge Of running tearing
down" campaign. The thousands Of
loyal and proud South Dakotans who
feel that the capital Of the state should
be located somewhere near its business
center upon the great thoroughfare
Of travel which threads the James
River valley and pierces the heart Of
the commonwealth recognize perhaps
the manifold advantages Of all parts
of this grand young state as clearly
and unprejndiced as others making

are ready to give their time, money

The LEADER IL now arranging for
another Corn Contest next winter.
whom every member Of the Lincoln
County Corn Growers Association and
every farmer who is interested in i'm.
proving his corn, will be expected to
take part in some shape OF other. Il ID
the intention Of the LEADER to offer
two prizes for the first and second bes,
samples Of corn. and We expect to have
the Brookings College Corn expert
present to assist In scoring the corn.
President ]. w. Brenner OF the Lincoln
County Institute has done valuable
work in this line, and many other lead
ing farmers have taken . deep interest
in the question Of improved corn. and
farmers everywhere are beginning to
realize that there IL much to learn
about corn. The editor Of Waliaces'
Farmer. one Of the BEST posted corn
men Of the west. says that when .
farmer begins to find out that there IL
something more to learn about select
ing seed and raising corn. he is in .
proper condition to derive benefit from
. corn contest Farmers will be asked
to select 12 Of the best ears for the con-
test next winter, and by this means an
absolutely fair decision can be rendered
q to who has the best corn according
70 the score. The LEADER will soon
publish the score Of last winter and al
can learn much about selecting corn
from that score, o. the various points
are given.

full character and sweetness of DISPOSE

bravely, and forgetting herself always
had comforted others.

panied by his son-in-law, Mr.. Edward G.
