COMPETE WITH OCTOPUS
Independent Oil Company Ready
for Business in S.

Last week it was stated editorially
in the American that the Penn Oil Com
pany would not establish branch
In Sioux Falls, owing to inability to
to obtain side track facilities. Chas.
w. Ralph, local manager of this com
pany at Minneapolis, writes that the
fact is that the branch will be estab-
lished at Sioux Falls, although much
difficulty has been experienced in Sc
curing side tracks, although the com
pany has stood ready to pay all expen-
ses of construction. After several
months delay an appeal was made to
the State Railroad Commission and ii
is now settled that the railway com
pany, the Illinois Central, will com
plete the siding Immediately.
It is quite apparent the sinister in.
fuence Of the big monopoly, that
dumps it's vilest kerosene into this
state, will obstruct as far as possible
the establishment of a rival in the
state. It is said the Penn company
may in time give Brown county people
the benefit Of competition in the sale d
oil, and that land for siding facilitie.
has already been secured.

Selishness is the bane of all life.
It cannot enter into life-individual

their own dwelling or in any way NOV
ed to regard their social duties as dis
agreeable, let them be alarmed at once.
1t is bad symptom-an essentially
morbid symptom. They should insti-
tute means at once for removing this
feeling, and they can only remove it by
persistently going into society, persist

them without bringing them into con-
tinued contact with polite social life.
The ordeal through which children
thus reared are obliged to pass in gain
ing the ease and assurance which will
make them at home elsewhere than un-
der the paternal roof is one Of the
severest, while those who are constant.
ly accustomed to social life from
their youth are educated in all it's
forms and graces without knowing It.
Great multitudes Of men and women
all over the country are now living Sc
cluded from social contact simply from
their sensitive consciousness of igno-
rance of the forms of graceful inter-
course.
They feel that they cannot break
through their reserve There is, doubt
less, much that is morbid in this feel
ing, and yet it is mainly natural. From
Ill this modification and this depriva-
ton every soul might have been saved
BY education in home where social
life was properly lived. It is cruel to
deny to children the opportunity not
only to become accustomed from their
first consciousness to the forms of So
dety, but to enjoy its influence upon
their developing life.
Society is food to children. Contact
with other minds is the means by
which they are educated, and the DIFF
ference in families of children will
show at once to the accustomed eye the
different social character of their par
ents. But l have no space to follow
