nished excellent music, which was
received with hearty appreciation by
the audience, which filled every pos
slhle seat and hundreds stood up.
Following the addresses of GOV.
Elrod aud President Erlon were
three addresses Of Importance. Hon.
N. T. Ltghtner. OF Roscoe, said that
South Dakota produces more wealth
per capita than any other state in
the Union While a few years ago
we had to go over to Europe TO raise
money to tinance u railroads aud
great enterprises, we had the pluck
but had to go somewhere else for the
money. Now we have the money to
build our own railroads, and to es-
tablisil and operate the greatest in
dustries In the world We put up
bridges in Africa while England is
figuring on the specifications. Land
is almost as free as the air, while in
Europe it is worth from $500 to $500
per acre. In the United States we
raise so per cent of all the corn that
.is raised in the world. The stock
men OF South Dakota are the pro-
,ducers OF wealth. They are entitled
to all and more than they have re-
Gel we'd, for the money which comes
into the state treasury ome largely
from the stockmen of the state. In
closing Mr.. Lightner said, aLove your
stock, love your home. love your
country and be loyal to- South Da-
kota.,,
Hon. ". N. Brown, of Woonsocket,
referred to the stock industry us a
noble industry. Mr.. Brown said he
val surprised when he came to
Mitchell and saw such a magnificent
sale t,avilion, for be had no idea such
q splraldid structure could be built
and still have a balance left Of the
appropriation. Mr.. Brown said that
40 out OF &c OF our boys take up other
lines OF work besides farming.
They want to be bankers, M, rehants
or professional MeD. 1t is a great
problem how to get more good fam
ers. It's not hard TO take y farmer
boy and make good merchants or
bankers 0r lawyers and even govern
ors forsyour own Governor Elrod was
. faliner boy, but tits llardEstoStake a
good farRer from the store
Hon. O. Z. Branson, OF Mitchell.
] nsOpeninR his remarks said that he
didn't know to whom to give themost
credit for thissale payilion-the only
one ever built by state appropriation
inssthe United States. Credit must
sbe given to the 45senators and to rs
3Inetlbersasof the house, who voted
yes when the bill came up last vim
ter, and credit must also be given to
Gov. Elrod who so strongly support
ed the measure, giving to South Da-
.kota Live StockAssociation a perma-
snent home.s Much has been accom-
splished. Never since statehood be-
gan has there been an appropriation
5000 which will be of greater bene-
flt to the state than the $4,000 to
build this building. We are paying
too little attention to interests OF
this kind. The greatest OF all our in
dnstries, farming and stock raising.
pay more taxes In South Dakota
than the railroads, banks and monies
all put together and all they get
back IS 5000 for farmers institu-
lions, 10000 wolf bounty and $4,000
Tor this building, while s4sO, 600 are
appropriated to maintain education
81 institutions We have too many
scattered educational institutions.
The ones who pay the most need
better attention.
