Not long ago a farmer in Ne
braska, Bryan's State, went to a
buggy dealer to buy buggy. He
found one that suited him and the
price was $50. The farmer hap
.pened to remember that about a
dozen years ago he had bought a
buggy j ust like it from the same
dealer for $55 and he mentioned the
fact. The dealer went to his books
and found this to be true. ''But,'
said the dealer, my books show
that you did cot pay cash for it.,
because you did not have the
money. You hauled in 500 bushels

Ten years ago all Allen county,
Kansas, farmer put his initials on
a dollar bill. The next day he
went to the nearest town and spent
it with a merchant. Before the
year was out he got the dollar
back. -Four times in six years the
dollar came back to him for pro
duce, and three times he heard of
it in the pocket of his neighbors.
The last time he got it back
four years ago, he sent it to a mail
order house. He has never seen
that dollar since and Dever will
again.
That dollar bill will never pay
any more school or road tax for
him; will never build or brighten
any homes in his community. He
sent it entirely out of the circle of
usefulness to himself and his
neighbors.

$55 buggy. Now, I'll tell you what
| will do. If you are willing to
bring me now 800 bushels of corn
l will give you the $62 buggy, a
self binder worth $125, a sulky
ploW worth $50 and a walking plow
worth $l2. In addition to this |
will hand you $16 in money! The
dealer could have carried out the
proposition, too, for corn is worth
80 cents a bushel now, while at
that time it was worth only II
cents"
About the same time that this
farmer was buyinga buggy for $50
and paying for it with 500 bushels
of corn at II cents bushel other
farmers in Nebraska were selling
spring lambs to the butshers for
50 apiece, while full grown sheep
were sold in Ohio for so cents
head. Now the Nebraska farmer
gets so cents for his corn and 81
for his lamb and sheep in Ohio sell
at So. so to 81. Not only that; the
value of farm lands in the United
States has increased over six billion
dollars since 1900, and they were
in 1900 worth six billions more
than in 1895. The farmers are all
stand patters on the Tariff, and
they know the reason why.-Ame-

A Step In The Right Direction.

1t is with good deal Of pleasure we
commend to the confidence of our read
ers, and especially mothers, Cascasweet,
the new infants, and children's remedy.
There is, at the present time, an un-
doubtedly strong demand for purity and
& safety, particularly in the case of
remedies for children. In this instance
the we'll known firm Of E. c. Dewitt
Co., has taken the public in their conf
deEce by printing on each package Of
Cascasweet the true name of every single
ingredient Of the preparation. This will
undoubtedly strongly commend itself to
physicians and mothers alike. Mothers
can be thoroughly satisfied in giving
this simple, pleasant remedy to their
children, in knowing that every ingre-
dient and element is printed on the pack
age for their information. This enables
them to know exactly what they are
giving their little ones when they ad-
minister Cascasweet.
The old time method of relieving
children's complaints by Supplying or
deadening their sensibility with drugs
to produce artificial sleep, is superseded
by this harmless remedy, and the ad-
vanced position taken by this we'll known
firm, in making known the ingredients of
such valuable remedy. .will uudoubted-
ly find a number of followers within a
short time.
The greatest care should be exercised
in the selection of remedy for the COM
plants peculiar 10 children. The day is
past and gone when mother was con-
tent to administer to her child the old
time soothing syrups and medicines con-
tanning powerful and harmful drugs to
produce artificial sleep, such as morphine
and opium, and it is with satisfaction
that we note the advanced position taken
by f. c. Dewitt & Co., in not only
emitting from the composition Of the
medicine itself"any opiate or narcotic,
but in placing in plain English on each
and every bottle the name of each Of its
ingredients. Cascasweet is a vegeta-
BILE corrective of superior merit as its
formula shows it to be.

mind made up as to who he will

NERVOUS DEBILITY

for what the doctors term neurasthenia.
1t is characterized by mental depression,
fits of the "blues," or melancholy, loss
Of energy and spirits. The patient S eyes
become dull, the pink fades from the
cheeks, the memory becomes defective SO
that it is difficult to recall dates and
names at will. Some of these symptoms
only may be present or all of them. The
remedy lies i'll toning up the nervous
system and there is no medicine better
adapted for this purpose than DR..

at night and woke up as weary and
languid i'll the morning as was when l
went to bed. My head ached in the
morning and often there was pain in
my right side which was worse when 1
sat down. My nerves were on edge all
the time, every little noise bothered me
and was generally miserable. Then /

them with good results, and they did
wonders for me- Now have no more

PROPOSE TO ENLARGE SUPREME COURT
South Dakota legislature Will Probably Add Two Justices
the Supreme Bench

Since the pre-convention campaigns
between "insurgent" and 'stalwart"
Republicans have been fought and the
conflict will soon be matter OF
South Dakota political history, the
people have commenced to discuss the
various questions which will be pre-
next legislature. 1t is expected, of
course, that the primary law and 9th
er measures advocated by Mr.. Craw-
ford will engage the attention of the
legislature to great extent, but
there are other problems to be solved
than those which have been under
discussion during the past few
months. Among these is the PROPOSE
ton to increase the membership of
the supreme court from three to five,
which may be done by the legislature
under the constitution. At present
the court consists of three members.
During the past few years, while the
state has been advancing and grow
ing so rapidly along all lines, litiga-
ton has also correSpondlngly IN
creased, and the present members OF
the court find themselves confronted
by an ever-increasing volume of liti-
cation and hence there has arisen I'M
avoidable delay in the handing down
of decisions of the court. Some cases
have been pending as long as three
and three and half years. This con-
dition has been a detrment both to
the attorneys and the litigants. In
the face of such long delays litigants
have hesitated to appeal to the SUI
preme court, especially where only a
small amount is involved, although
some important principle may be at
stake. In discussing the proposition,
/ no criticism is heard of the court as

NO TEACHERS FOR SCHOOLS.

Owing to the shortage of school
teachers, several schools in Gregory
county are at present without teach
ers and are closed. Notwithstanding
this condition of affairs a number OF
new school houses will be erected dur
ing the next few months in various
portions of the country. The town OF
Gregory has voted bonds in the sum
of $4,000 for the erection of a new
school building. The county treasur-
er has in his hands the sum of S., 600
of permanent school funds, and this
entire sum will be expended in the
construction of new country school
! buildings. Four of the new buildings
will be erected in the Sully Flats Gee
| ton OF the county, two in what is
known as the Turgeos neighborhood,
one west of the town of Herrick and
several others in other portions of the
county. 1t is believed that by the
time the new school buildings are
erected the supply of teachers will be
ample.

COUNTY TICKET IS HELD VALID
Defect in Advertising Election in Brve County Makes No
Difference

that it would be held sufficient in law
and the election would not be invalid
by reason of such imperfections in the
notice. Pursuing the same
course of reasoning mentioned in the
above quotations from McCreerys
work on elections, if the convention
was held and nominations were made,
it would appear that the defect in the
notice you mentioned did not operate
to the prejudice of the voters, and
that the notice, though technically i'm
perfect, was substantially effective.
Hence do not think that it would be
proper to ignore the certificate OF
nominations made by the officers OF
such convention, and do believe that
the nominations so made, if properly
certified, should be placed on the bal
lot"

In view of the fact that the Repub-

ty aid not publish the call for the re-
cent county convention at the full
time provided for in the new caucus
law, and the question having been
raised that this might affect the le-
gality of the Republican county ticket,
as party ticket, County Auditor G..
c. Duncan on Sept. 10 requested an
opinion from Attorney General Hall
on tie question. This opinion has just
been received, and may be of general
interest throughout the state. A
number of authorities are cited, the
following deduction being made:
"In determining this question it
must be borne in mind that the pur-
pose Of the notice is to call to the at
tention of the voters the fact that
such convention would be held and to
enable them to exercise their priv
ilege of participating therein. The
statute also provides for the giving OF
ten days notice of the caucuses or
primaries at winch the delegateS are
to be selected to attend such conven.
ton. The purpose Of this notice is
also of the same nature. While l find
no authorities bearing directly upon
the question of notice for holding
county conventions, inasmuch as
these matters are usually regulated by
custom and not by statute, yet such
notice is analogous, in degree, to q
notice of election, and the rule laid
down by courts in the case of defec
tive notice of election is that where
the notice is given, although imper
fectly, substantially accomplishes the
purpose for which it was assigned
