waSteful, inhuman hand tools the crops
of the world that the nations might
have bread. Rightly understood, these
two women. living 50 far apart, are pa

stupditI that could permit such things

In all fents of skin the influence of
The mind is most important. To per
form in thoroughly good style any diff
cult feat of skill it is absolutely neces-
sary that the mind must be free from
fear, anxiety or nervousness. L knew
once. years ago, man who had been
2 bullfShter in Spain. During one of
his glowing accounts of the sport
expressed my surprise that he should
have left the life. His reply was: ''One
day I was about to enter the ring and
had 4 little creepy feeling of fear.
Then 1 stopped for good. The man who
feels fear is sure to be killed"
And it is equally true that the man
who fears is heavily handicapped, no
matter what the contest may be. AnXi-
ETY. and nervousness are closely akin

their effect as TO render 1t almost in

IN frats of skill of whatever nature,
whether balancing. juggling. marks

IS necessary chat just the right muscles
must be used at just the right instant
and to just the right degree. When,
however the muscles are disturbed by
emotional excitement. such delicate ad-

JUST WORD.

The Reporter and Farmer has
always believed that $3.50 per year
was non too much for a good we, ky
newspaper, but as many OF our COM
petitors have seen fit to reduce the
pIice to $1.00 we have at last decided
to make our price $l.00 per year, if
paid in advance. To those not pay
ing in advance the price will remain
the same as now, $3.50. As a special
inducement to get money we will
give thirteen months credit for every
dollar paid between now and Janu-
airy |, 1907, to new subscribers and
to all old subscribers who pay up
their arrears and one dollar in
advance w will give a like credit.
The Reporter and Farmer is one
of the official papers of Day county
and is the official paper of the City
of Webster. Publishes the latest
telegraph news of the world obtain
able each week. Has an exception
ally good department of South
Dakota news. Webster and Day
county news carefully looked after.
During January and February a
special correspondent will look after
