Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1906-11-02
Letter From Fred Keidel.

Under date Of October 25, Fred
Keidel formerly of Lincoln county,
writes the Leader from the Califor-
mia Soldiers home, where he has
been FOR a few months renewing his
health and resting.
He describes the beautiful home
provided for the old veterans and
tells of the handsome surroundings
and flowers and comforts.
He says the home canteen is doing
an immense business, beer being
bought by the car load and the old
veterans spend their pension money
freely. The old men are dying fast
and don't seem to care as to the fut-
ure. sit makes n sad" he says,
"to see the gallant defenders Of the
union in old age thus hurried onward
under the influence that destroys
both body and soul. 1t makes me
sad to see such a condition, and the
man who favors an army canteen
stands for the ruin of his brother
and the destruction of his soul"
The California home might be a
veterans paradise instead of what it
is.
Remember me to all old Lincoln
county friends and after December
10th, send my Leader to Alliance,
California, as l will be back at my
home oon after that date"

Do Your Trading at Home.

The Leader learned from a couple
of gentlemen who were seeking bar
gains for their wives, and after pric-
ing goods in Canton stores went to
Sioux Falls to save a little money as
they expected but were badly taken
IN as the sequel will show.
One party looked at a cloak in The
Enterprise store which was marked
S15. This party went to Sioux Falls
and paid $1S for an exact duplicate of
Mr.. Thayer's cloak. Another party
priced an article in the Puckett-Pid-
coe store which was worth $40, and
this party went to Sioux Falls and
paid 1926 for a similar piece of goods,
and the gentleman who made this
purchase was decidedly hot when he
came back and found out how he had
been duped. He supposed he was
getting something better than the
Canton article. He said he was now
satisfied that he could buy better
goods for less money in Canton every
day in the year than he could in
Sioux Falls.
Our merchants can buy just as
cheap as the Sioux Falls or Sioux City
merchants. because they pay cash.
The reason our merchants can sell
cheaper than the merchants in near
by cities is their expenses and taxes
are less, hence our merchants can sell
for less money than the other fellows,
which they always do, and make a
living profit.
Those Sioux City and Sioux Falls
merchants stick it .'onto" the visitors
just as far as it is safe to go because
they know they have come to buy
and won't go home empty handed.

President George E. Henderson, Of
the Bull River mining and power
company, has gone to Bull River, B.
c., accompanied by Mrs. Henderson.
President Henderson will remain in
that country until the big flume Is
completed and then the development
of that splendid water power will
come along fast. 1t is the opinion Of
those who ought to know that there
is plenty of gold in Bull River and
the turning of the water into the big
tiume will expose it and give the COM
pany a chance to get rich fast. Every
body wants Geo. Henderson to sue
coed.
H. e. Thormodsgaard of Norway
township was a welcome visitor Tues
day morning and a renewal subscrib-
er. He was accompanied by Lars
Huser. Mr.. acknowledgement gets his
mail by rural route from Alcester,
and he finds much cause for com
plant. He says that some weeks he
doesn't get his Leader before Monday
and sometimes as late as Tuesday.
OF course this is absolute careleSsneSs
on the part Of the postal authorities
somewhere on the line. The Leader
leaves Canton for the south on Fri
day as regular as Friday comes and
should get to Alcester in time for
Saturdays rural mail delivery. There
is no excuse for this carelessneSs.
II. Hugh Clancy is down in Illinois
at his old home at Hebron, where he
has been assisting his father some on
the farm and assisting others to get
married and getting ready to return
to Worthing. II. Hugh has been an
awful busy youth because it was i'm
possible to get farm help and he had
to do about three mems work for a
month. He will soon be back in
Worthing. We copy the following
item from the Hebron Tribune:
Through the courtesy of II. Hugh
Clancy, who secured from the Mil
waukee railroad company rates and
sleeping car reservations, and planned
the wedding trip for Mr.. and Mrs.
Woodrich, which includes Chicago,
Council Bluffs, Omaha, Denver, Col
orado Springs and Pueblo, returning
home over the Union Pacific via Kan
sas City, Mo-, and the Milwaukee to
Chicago and Armsby, is due the COM
fort of the trip, but the climax was
reached when E. A. Miller, general
passenger agent Of the Milwaukee
railroad company, issued a special
order to stop train No. l42, which is
not on the Armsby time-card, Tues
day morning at 1l:25, for the especial
purpose Of permitting Mr.. and Mrs.
Woodrich to board the train. This
speaks highly for the rating of Mr..
Clancy with the Milwaukee road, and
for the well-known courtesy Of the
officials"

Then they come home like the 500
man who went to Sioux Falls and
kick themselves for their folly.

Then they come home like the $26
man who vent to Sioux Falls and

The merchant with whom you do
your trading the year round is where
you get a square deal every day in the
week. When you go out among
strangers to trade they take you in
good and plenty because it may be
the last chance they will get to skin
you.
These are diSagreeable facts and all
who have tried it know we are stat
ing the truth, and there are other
Canton parties who have had such an
experience as the man who went to
Sioux Falls and paid 81 more than
the same goods would have cost him
in Canton.
The same is true of clothing. Our
Canton clothing dealers are carrying
as fine goods as any mar wants to
wear, and the Canton prices for SINH
lar goods offered in nearby towns is
from three to nine dollars a suit
cheaper. AS a stranger you go into a
Sioux Falls or Sioux City clothing
store and those dealers will make you
believe they are giving you a $50 suit
for S25, and we will bet a hat
you could have bought the same
goods in Canton for $50. We have
seen the men and outside goods and
know the home prices. You get tax
en- in because you are a stranger, and
strangers stand no show in a strange
town.
A buyer can always get a square
deal in his home town and if he buys
something that don't suit or fit he
can get his goods changed or money
back, but he can't afford to 60 to
Sioux Falls or Sioux City to correct
an error, it costs too much. Stick to
your home merchant if you want a
square deal.
The Canton stores where dry goods
are sold are up to date in every par
t~icular, and the quality Of goods and
prices will prove the truth of u con
tention that you al save money by
buying your goods at home. Don't
go to Sioux Falls and pay your way
up and back and get soaked like the
man who paid $26 for goods that he
could have bought at Mr.. Puckett's
for $40.
1t would take 100 bushels of corn to
the acre to keep up such extravaganza
as that.

Grand Wedding Reception.

Judge and Mrs. Clifford held a we'd
ding reception last Friday evening in
honor of their son, Bailey, and his
bride, who arrived from Minneapolis
on the day previous. The hospitable
home of Judge and Mrs. Clifford has
witnessed many brilliant events but
nothing, we believe, to surpass that
of Friday evening. Old friends and
young friends of the groom were pres
ent in great numbers to congratulate
the Canton boy" and his sweet,
lovely bride, for Bailey was born and
raised in Canton.
The guests, numbering over a
hundred, were received by Master
Rudolph and directed to the dressing
rooms on the second floor, and at the
head of the stairs an orchestra was
stationed.
Judge and Mrs. Clifford received
with the groom and the bride and
congratulations were extended with
a hearty good will so characteristic of
our people.
During the evening a delicious two
course lunch was served, presided
over by Mrs. Seely and Mrs. Tillotson,
while Misses Maud Lewis. Mary Coop
er, Alice Conklin and Lucretia Ru-
dolph dispensed delicious lunch to all.
Mrs. O. A. Rudolph and Mrs. M. E.
Rudolph assisted in receiving the
guests.
The rooms were handsomely decor
ated with white chrysanthemums
and ferns, and all the were in perfect
harmony with the welcome home and
reception of the groom and bride.
The reception began at s and at II
the guests departed after one Of the
most enjoyable society events ever
held in Canton. The presents were
numerous and beautiful as well as
valuable, tokens Of love and esteem,
which the young couple will cherish
in the years to come.
Mr.. Clifford is engaged in the drug
business in Minneapolis, where he
was married on the oath of October,
and where they started for Monday
morning.

dence town. He sold his home in
Canton some time ago and concluded
TO make a change before building.
He called on the Leader before leav-
ing and wanted to be remembered to
all his friends.
A Sioux City dry goods house is
flooding Canton with postal cards
telling of the great bargains people
can get there. Don't be a sucker
and spend five or six dollars going to
Sioux City to buy something that
may not be as good as you a get at
home for less money. This house adj
vertises $40 goods for S15. That's
enough to catch suckers but thinking
people know that no man ever sold
$40 goods for S15 or $50 or $50. These
figures are only made to catch stupid
people.

How to Test Seed Corn.

Editor Leader: 1t is of the hOpe-
full signs that promise better corn
and more of it to the acre, that the
selection and testing Of seed corn is
advocated SO widely today. When
one remembers the long years of the
past, when corn was stored and plant
ed like other grains out of the bin or
crib, and now hear the subject Of
storing and testing it advocated from
the rostrum and by the press, we see
the time approaching when one
hundred bushels will be raised to the
acre where but thirty or forty now
are raised. In a former paper it was
claimed that a proper test was of as
ing the right ears. And why? Be-
cause an intelligent ia can tell if
corn will sprout or grow by looking at
it. The man who takes his seed out
he would not plant it. Then why
test your seed corn? If we can not
answer this question we do not grasp
the problem of more and better corn,
and any method that does not deter
mine more is useless. The testing of
your seed corn therefore must be to
determine if it has vital force and life
enough to bring to the fullest matur-
ity the embryo ear that each grain
contains. This only can be done by a
method that is in harmony with
natures laws, for she must be re-
spected and obliged. Nature will re-
cognize and approve favorable condi-
lions that surround germ life even
before it is awakened into activity,
and it is Just as sure to show diSfavOr
when conditions are u~nfavOrable.
| What are the conditions required?
A good strong, rich soil and the ex-
clusion of light and air. These facts
are too obvious to need discussion,
either as they relate to animal or
vegetable germs. But we may re-
mark that a strong healthy mother is
as essential to animal development
as are like quantities in the size.
Now let us carry out and apply this
figure. In starting the corn germ
into life and development do not
dwarf or blight it by placing it under
adverse conditions but place it in
good, strong, rich, soil and exclude
the light and air, for by reasons I'M
known to US, these conditions devel-
ope all that there is in the corn germ,
not only that it will sprout or grow,
but how strong and vigorous it will
grow, by pushing out roots many
times longer than the upright stem
growth, and it will assure you what
your corn will do in the field if you
meet the conditions there by prepar-
ing and e%nriching your land and will
give it suitable attention and care.
Again as to the figure. Procure a box
six inches deep which in every sense
is a Matrix, fill it half full of good,
| rich soil, the best you can get; on top
of the soil place a wire screen or net
ting with meshes three fourthS inches
suaure: in each square place three
grains taken from an ear and mark
the ear and square. Make frame
with two inch sides that will slip in
side of this box, tack on the bottom
strong canvass and stay it from
side to side to keep it from sag
ging, put an inch of good, rich, sol
in this frame and slip it in on top of the
netting and corn. Keep it warm and
moist and you will have results that
| will please you. b. ii. Trip.

from Virginia to Nashville, Tenn,
where he held various jobs on the
louisville and Nashville road and in
1873 secured the position Of roadmas-
ter Of the Nashville and Decatur line.
From 1879 to 1881 he was superintend-
emit OF the Memphis division Of the
louisville and Nashville. He was
gradually promoted until in 1884 he
was made general manager OF the
Louisville and Nashville system. In
the next few years he held several diff
ferent positions, and one Of these was
that Of general manager Of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio railroad. He made a
good move in his acceptance of the
post Of general manager of the Louis
vile, New Orleans and Texas railroad,
for under his direction the possibilities
Of the line became so apparent that he
was able to negotiate the sale Of 1t to
the Illinois Central. The result OF
this deal was his elevation in 1900 to
be second vice president of the latter
company. When he assumed the du-
ties of this post he was given charge
Of the operation of the entire system,
being responsible only to Mr.. Fish.

thousand dollars.
Ferdinand Won Zeppelin, in addition
to being a German nobleman, Is a sol
der Of distinction. He rose to the
rank Of lieutenant general In the Ger
man army and for years has been chief
military adviser to the king of Wurt-
'temberg In the Franco Prussian war
me won fame as the first Prussian Of
Acer who crossed the frontier into
France. He was noted leader of
scouts. Prior to that he had served his
fatherland in the United States during
the civil war as military attache. and
1t was In this country in 1864 that he
Il made his first balloon ascensions. Bal
looms were used by our government to
some extent in making military OBJ
servations. The count went up sever
al times, and that gave him taste
for aerial experimenting as to the
uses of balloons or airships In war.
During the past ten years Count Won
Zeppelin has done little more than
build airships and finance propositions
for building better ones. The present

constructed as to float outside when
the ship was ready for launching and
float back when 1t was desired to re-
turn the monster to it's mansion. The
vessel went up about thousand feet

twice and returned to the starting

His Rise From Track Laborer TO
Head of a Big Railroad.
James Theodore Harahan, who sue
ceeded Stuyvesant Fish as president OF
the Illinois Central railroad, was Sec
ond vice president Of the road for six
teen years prior to his recent election
as president. He sided with Edward
H. Hartman In the controversy be
tween the latter and President Fish.
and when Mr.. Hartman obtained con-
troll of the board of directors he made
Mr.. Harahan his candidate for the
presidency. In the contest Mr.. Ear
riman's hostility to Mr.. Fish on &C
count Of his attitude In the investiga-
ton Of the Mutual Life Insurance com
pany played part.
Mr.. Harahan was born In Lowell,
Mass, in 1S43. He entered the rail
way service in 1864 at Alexandria,
Va, and married in 1899 Miss Mary
n. Mallory of Memphis. Tenn. He was
twenty-one when his railway service
began, and his first employment was
