IT PAYS TO
ADVERTISE
There is Only One Way to Wipe
Out the Mail Orders

A travelling man who ought to know
says there is one town in South Da-
kota where catalogue houses have
been unable to make any showing,
and the reason for it was that the mer-
chants not only have good bargains
but advertised those bargains extern
sively through the newspapers. We
took out OF the papers and compared
prices with those given here and found
that in almost every instance the pri-
ces are lower here. But they are low
er than catalogue houses and the fact
is put before the people every week.
Even through the summer months the
three leading merchants are carrying
large ads with special bargains, and
are making money. The town is Elk
Point, and though it is nearer Sioux
City than Nermillion, it does not SUI
fer so much from that competition.
-Nermillion Plain talk.
What is true OF Elk Point might be
said OF any other town were the busi-
ness men alert. The only way the
mail order business can be success
fully met is by concerted action on the
part of the local merchants. Quit
knitting home merchants and join
hands against the common enemy.
Patronize your local papers, quote
prices and show that you are out for
business. II every locality would do
this land we reter to Brookings as
we'll as the restf mail order houses
would go oft of business.

FAST GAMES
'"' FOO FOOTBALL
Double Header Played Saturday at
AthleticPark

AtnletlCFalk
Madison came over Saturday for the
express purpose ofwiping the S. d. A.
C. football team off the face of the fair
earth-that is some of the young fell
lows who had defeated the high school
team so easily the week before ex-
pressed themselves in words to that
effect, but at the close OF the game it
was apparent that scarcely feather
had been ruffied by the Madison team
though the latter eleven were pretty
we'll convinced they had been in a
football game.
Brookings wanted to play twenty
five minute halves, but Madison
thought twenty minutes would do
them and so it stood.
MBrookings won the toss and took
the west goal. Madison kicked off,
but soon lost the ball on downs. At
the very outset the visitors seemingly
used poor judgement in attempting to
mash Bookings line thus wearing
out their men againstthe ''stone WALL"
The first touchdown was made by
Brookings with a pretty play on the
part of Oliver who broke through
Madison's line when Brookings punt
ed the ball and carried the ball over
the line. Brookings failed at goal.
In few moments after the bali was
again in play Brookings smashed
Madison's line and sent Reich through
for another touchdown and he sue
ceeded in throwing his opponents off
until he had carried the ball directly
behind the goal. Johnson kicked
goal. Time was called with the ball
in Madison territory and moment
more Brookings would have again
scored. The first half score stood
Brookings II, Madison 0.
In the second half Brookings went
into the game apparently as fresh as
at the outset and with more vigor,
while it was plain that the visitors
were weary. Repeated calls for ''time
out" were heard and it certainly looked
to the spectators as though Madison
was playing to merely keep the
score down. Some of the visiting
team played plucky game, especially
Pond, who was crippled when he came
here, but remained in the game and
saved his team several times from be-
ing scored on. At no time was Brook
ings goal in danger and nearly all the
playing was on Madison soil. In the
last half Brookings scored three times
and kicked goal twice ending the last
half with score of IL to o. Total
score of the game being 28 to 0.
The Madison team were a clean
lot of young men and the game was
witnessed by goodly number of peo-
pie who spoke highly OF their conduct
-even though they were defeated they
were gentlemen.
Prior to the above mentioned game
the second s. ID. A. G. eleven played
the city high school. Both teams
played fast and furious. The s. ID. A.
G. eleven were too heavy for the III. S.
boys and while the young Americas
made them hustle the score ended 23
to 0 in favor OF the college boys.
