Bridges took exceptions to Smiths
destinations that there was niger

and mis- colleagues were attempting to
dc any railroading. He reiterated his
former statement that the council
was in duty bound to stand by the
pledges made, and give the property

kirkman for the People.
kirkman was rather nettled at the
remarks that had passed pro and con
about the board, and in a strong speech
stated that the only reason he ever
consented to become a member of tne
council was because he desired to give
the people what they wanted. In voting
to give the paving contract to the
Warren Construction company he said
he was doing SO because he felt that
the property owners knew what they
wanted and was willing to help them.
He said that if a majority of the prop
erty owners of any other district petit
toned for asphalt he would vote to
give it to them. He also stated that
it it were found that majority of the
property owners petitioning for bithu-
little had been induced to sign the pc
titiOn under false representations that
he would vote to revoke the present
action of the council.
Smith asked for information regard

showed that out of total of 1929

day at the camp of BOulogne, having
invited several officers 10 his table, his
majesty had wine poured for Ma-Shal
Augereau and asked him with an air
of satisfaction how he liked it. The
marshal tasted it, slipped it critically
and finally replied, There is BETTER in
a tone which was unmistakable. The
emperor. who had expected different
reply, smiled at the marshals candor."

1t PAYS to Plant Trees.

IWenNY-fivc years ago a Minneha.
ma couhtY farmer plant ed cotton
wood trees about his farm to serve as
a Windbrcak lie had no Thought of
their fuel value, but wanted protec-
ton, and this the trees have given
him ever since, growing with no care
and at scarcely any orlglna. expense.
Not long, ago he set about the task of
thinning out the trees and he cut $50
cords of wood, which he has sold for
$3.50 per cord. This Is a little en-
ample in forestry which South Da-
kotans cannot afford to overlook. A
CITIZEN of this city cut fourteen cords
OF wood from four lots. He was try
ing to- geJ rid of the trees IN order to
build, Tut incldently he put seventy
odd dollars in ms pocket. 1t pays to
plant trees-even the despised cot
tonwood. -Argus-Leader.
1T pays To plant trees. No South
Dakotan in these enlightened days
will dispute that fact. 1t even pays
to plant cottonwood trees, as the Ar
gus-Leader remarks. But ii it pays
to plant cottonwood trees, the man
who has the wisdom to plant trees of
possibly slower growth, but which
are of greater worth when they do
finally reach Il marketable size, will
reap much more for his investment
and the care necessary to make the
trees grow. BY all means plant trees;
If necessary even plant cottonwood
trees, but if possible plant some other
variety. -Aberdeen News.

THE PRIMARY In MINNESOTA

The attention of advocates of the

for the direct nomination of candi-
dates for state Ot1ice-aS proposed ia

on each bill, each sponsor roasting

that he alone had the particular
nostrum which was cure for all

that nothing was done, and if any

The impression is RAPIDLY growing

TihS of course means that the result
OF such primaries must be determined
by blind chance. The question of
the heavy expense which candidate
must meet, and the heavy costs on
the public of what is is reality a gen
eral election, are also not to be lost
sight of. The more deeply the Argus
Leader studies into the question, the
more firmly it is convinced that the
