Dry Cough; Swelling of Feet and Ankles;
Cold Feet or Hands.
No one can afford to allow a weak
heart to go without medicine, because
weak heart means poor circulation. and
poor circulation means weak lungs,

Flag Day Proclamation.
GAs Cash Shoe Store.

.'The American flag is universally
recognized az the emblem Of liberty
and justice. Beneath it brave and
loyal hearts beat with pride and devo-
tion. To the oppressed it affords the
inspiration Of hope. To each of our
citizens it guarantees individual liberty
and protection to personal and property
rights. The fire of protection never
burned more brightly than today. It
is therefore eminently proper that we
unitedly show our regards for the Stars
and Stripes and our love for common
country.
Flag Day has q special place in the
hearts of the old soldiers who have
followed it in times of war and in
times of peace. 1t is especially pleas
ing to note that the older the flag be-
comes, the more it is honored and loved
by the American people; Therefore.

A. J. Earling. President of the Chi.

Company, is the author of an article in
Harper's Weekly of May 20, on the
subject, "The Effect of Government
Rate making upon Internal Com.

statements which he made. are Of com.
pelling interest. . .....
After showing the limitations which
are set upon the market which manu-.
factures of lumber in Wisconsin or

bly, states the threat to South Dakota's
prosperity which is contained in the
proposed legislation thus: s.s
II have seen this Western prairie
country develop as the railways have
opened up it's resources, and the com.
pany I represent has always been iden-
titled with its development. Therefore
l may be pardoned If I look with no
small degree Of apprehension upon the
threat of serious impairment Of the in.
terests of this large and important sec-
tion of the country which . distance
tariff would inevitably make.
Under the distance-tarif system,
with the consequent increase in trans-
portation rates which must result from
government rate-making, the mill
which is nearest particular market
will have an advantage in every other
market. In other words, the result Of
fixing transportation rates on distance
basis will be change from the present,
broad, general, competitive markets to
narrow, restricted local markets, with
the inevitable increase in the cost to the
consumer. = Freight rates that
are determined by the surveyors rod,
measured ont to the industry of the
country merely by the mile, will not
only arrest the commercial develop
ment and agricultural growth of the
country. but will require such read.
justment to untried conditions, as can
not fail to be productive of the most
serious and lasting harm to the rail-
ways and to the people," overcome the

Of this paper last week, but the delay

or four sales of pnre bred cattle have
been held in this city. and one fact has
been made plain to good Judges Of
cattle by these sales That fact is that
very few meritorious animals have been
offered by these dealers. Az rule the
animal were culls. many Of them hav-
ing developed incurable maladies. The
most of them being defective IN some
point or another.
It is true that few good animals
have been brought In and sold 70 local
breeders at good figures. but such an
imals are the exception. At the recent
sale held by Brown and Nelson from
Minneapolis, the choice animals. in.

six in ally bid in and shipped back.
One fine appearing COW Of excellent
breeding was brought here and cold at
1 good figure at one Of the first Of these
sales that proved to be chronic abort
or, not worth 4 cent except for beef,
yet palmed off ~ choice breeding stock.
Another COW sold here last year Of good
breeding and appearance, was especially
commended as . fine dairy COW. In
fact the breeder who brought her here
induced we'll known farmer in this
county to bid her off by telling how bis
wife had opposed having her taken off
the place because of her extraordinary
excellence as family COW. Later.
when this COW came to have = calf, II
developed that she had not given milk
out Of more than two teats for years,
and that for q kicker she could discount

During the time when the last sale
was made here, week or 90 ago, 1t was
demonstrated that the would.be- buyers
have ample opportunity to buy good
stock without patronizing the grafters. "
