Growing Popular

1t beats all how this King drag
business gets hold OF anyone interested
in good roads when once he learns oil
it. A former Bloomington girl now
living in the central part OF the state
and whose husband is a stranger here,
was a caller some time ago and told
US that while her husband neve had
made a practice OF reading their Record
on account OF not being acquainted
here, he had happened to notice our
article explaining how to make and
use the King road drag. It interested
him 80, and the plan seemed so sensi-
BILE to him even though be had never
seen the IMPLEMENT that he took ii
up with the authorities where he lives
and it is now being used quite extern
sively and with the usual good results
in that locality. This little tale shows
that even if some of the people neal
Bloomington do not appreciate the
worth Of the drag those from q dis.
lance can readily see the good in it.

Then and Now

Not long ago, says an Iowa paper, a
farmer in Iowa went to a harness
dealer to buy a team harness he found
one that suited, the price being $45.
He happened to remember that about
a dozen years ago he had bought a
harness just like it from the same
dealer for $35 and mentioned the fact.
The dealer went to his books and
found it to be true. But" said the
dealer, my books show that you did
not pay cash for it, because you didn't
have the money. You hauled in 800
bushels of corn and gave it to me for the
$35 harness. Now III tell you what
/ will do. II you will bring me 800
bushels Of corn l will give you the $45
harness also a double buggy harness,
worth $35, a single buggy harness
worth $11, a plush robe worth 81, one
pair OF wool blankets worth 81, a boys,
riding saddle worth S., one riding
whip and bride worth $3.50, two
leather halters worth $3.50, brush and
curry comb worth 81, and a raw-hide
whip worth ST."
Which, Of course, illustrates that
the prices Of some things are much
better than they were q few years ago,
especially the price of farm products
As a matter Of fact, farm products
were entirely too low q dozen years
ago. Money was scarce and people
had little with which to purchase any
thing that was not absolutely needed
Consequently there vas ten cent corr
and forty cent wheat, which did no
cover the cost of the production, il j
did that.
Now money is more plentiful ant
farm products bring good prices, not
w~ithstanding the increase in othe
lines. That is what makes the agri
cultural classes well-to do, and thei
prosperity helps all other classes.

A Model School

Our readers have undoubtedly noticed
the advertisement ofthe Toland School
Of Sioux Falls and mention OF same
in a previous issue. We are Just in
receipt of ito catalogue, which is not
only a work Of art, but contains the
most positive proof of superiority ever
offered by a school. The former
catalogue OF the Toland School con-
tanned the portraits of 1000 Toland
graduates whom Mr.. ToIand had sent
to positions. Since that time the
demand for Toland graduates has
increased 80 rapidly that to publish
the portraits OF all would require a book
too heavy for mailing. He has there
fore in his new catalogue publishes
only the portraits Of his graduates
earning from nine hundred to nine
thousand dollars per year. Among
the more prominent of his graduates
we notice the President OF the Security
Bank OF La Crasse, the Assistant Gen
Pass. and Ticket Agent, Southern
Railway, and the Supt. Ordinary Dept
Metropolitan Life ms. Co.
Any school can prepare it's graduates
for ordinary positions, but it requires
very different training to prepare them
for the positions occupied by ToIanc
graduates.
The young man or woman desiring
a business education will certainly
regret it if they fail to investigate tn

=. THE DEPOT.

l.. III ~
The depot maintained at Brook
inps by the Northwestern Rail
way company is an imposing edl-
fee built OF brick and cost about
SOS, 900. 1t was completed two
years ago and is consequently a
new structure. Between il and the
tracks is a brick platform capable
of holding the two thousand peo-
pie who go there 10 see the trains
come in. About the station is IN
the making a pretty parklet, which
under the care of w. II. SChap-
horst is getting 10 be a pretty at
fair. The rails on which the trains
slide in here are those which give
way at critical times, and the
making of which, under our tariff
system, enable the steel trust to
pay exorbitant dividends and also
TO sell the same rails for eight or
ten dollars a ton less in London
town.
The depot is in charge OF w. H..
Leighty, a most competent and
obliging gentleman, who also looks
after the express business and is
alderman of the Second ward. This
latter is the reason for his Corpu-
lency. He has TO put up a good
front, and the avoirdupois is in no
way due to the fact that his job IS
a snap, for it isn't.
Leonard Kendall is day opera
tor and O. T. Walters pounds the
keys while the rest OF us are or
ought to be pounding IA ears. E..
J. Davis is baggagemen and is the
gentleman you should swear at for
busting that trunk. w. H. Schap-
horst is section foreman, and with
a crew of helpers keeps the flies
and other things off the right of
way besides attending to the park
as above mentioned. John Ron
ming is in charge of the aerial gates
at the crossing, which are lowered
when the train comes in to keep
the Southsiders from going to
kingdom come via the North
Western.
Roach is in charge of the
eatery just west of the ladies sump-
tuous waiting DON and the sinkers
and coffee you get here are as
substantial and satisfying as can
be found at any like emporium.
Taken all in all the plant is a
good one and the North Western
is much the best way Of getting
into town, or even out, though
some we have known of have pre-
ferred walking.

Gently he did me a great kindness

One Of the marked evidences of
the prosperity that has had full
swing in this part of South Dakota
for the past twenty-five or more
years, is the number of retired
farmers in the town. One of
these remarked the other day.
"A rich soil and hard work have
yielded enough to provide COM

thought the proper thing TO do
was 10 move to town and take life
easy, but ! want TO tell you its

cines right at hand here in South
Dakota which can be had fresh
from her marvellous laboratory,
which can be taken in doses war
ranted to cure which leave no bad
effects and which if used freely
would put us doctors and the drug
stores out of commission. These
medicines are not to be had with
out money and without price"
No good thing is. But the price
is within reach of the poorest, and,
while Nature does not give
credit" she makes the payment
to suit all circumstances, if only
one is willing TO do the work she
exacts. Here is a partial list OF
her cures" warranted TO do what
they claim: Dandelion is a blood
purifier; lettuce a remedy for
insomnia; spinach is a clean
sweep" tomatoes are for a torpid
liver; beets and potatoes are flesh
builders; water cress is a tonic;
onions and celery are for the
nerves; parsley assists digestion;
asparagus is kidney cure, cucum-
bers aid digestion; cucumbers,
internal and external, are com
plexion clearers; parsnlps are
better than any sarsaparilla pre-
paration; onions are a germlclde
and prevent malaria; garlic and
leeks are good for the blood cir
cu1ation; peas and beans are nutri-
tive and flesh formers; cabbage, if
properly cooked, is a valuable
medicine, possessing marked anti
scorbutic virtue; carrots are valu-
able for the complexion, if for
nothing else. They should be
eaten freely, cooked or raw, every
day. These are but a few OF
natures wonderful, neverfail-reme-
dies, and every n who has a
little piece of ground and a bundle
of persistence and industry, can
have them on most satisfactory
terms.
| am glad the city council has
ordered the policemen into uni
forms. This will enable crooks to
spot the policemen a mile off and
will also give the officers a chance
to blow in a part of their meagre
salaries on clothes they will have
no use for should a change of adj
ministration change their avoca-
ton.
