THE LAND OF PLENTY.
Buffalo and Jerauld Counties Up in
Southeastern South Dakota

DuTdlO anu oct duiu SOutItiCS W "
Southeastern South Dakota
Why do talk so much about those
two counties?
Because I've lived in different parts
of South Dakota for the past twenty.
four years, and honestly believe there
is no better place in the state for a
home or an investment than in those
two counties. Not because | am sell,
ing land in this particular part of the
state, but because | have Travelled all
over the state many times in the past
twenty years. And this is where we
bought our lands and have been sell
ing them to our friends for the past
ten years: and we have never sold to a
man yet who has not made big money
on his investment. | am not working
the real estate business as side line,
but am here to stay and cannot afford
10 misrepresent our country or lands
in any way. Further more ! have
held the Office Of County Recorder in
Buffalo County for four years and
got in touch with people all over the
United States, who owned land In our
county and therefore was able to pick
uD the snaps on nonresident land
which can sell you for much less
money than you could buy the same
qualify of land from the farmers in
the same locality.
We don't claim to have the best
country in the world, but we do claim
that our country is as near like Iowa
as any state in the union. Also we
claim and can prove that our corn
will make 90 blu. per acre and better,
oats from 40 to so, barley 30 to so and
flax from 10 to Is. Also that we can
compete with any state in the line of
vegetables, and that clover, timothy,
alfalfa and blue grass will grow album,
dainty; and all kinds of northern fruit
such as apples, cherries, tame plums,
black berries, gooseberries, currants,
and strawberries will and do produce
equally as well as they do in Iowa.
| will be pleased to go with you any
time and show you the land whether
you buy or not. A ticket from Man
ming, Iowa, and return will only cost
Sl0.40. Bring this advertisement with
you and il you request | will deposit
in the bank double the amount OF yonr
fare, and ii you find ! have misrepre-
scented our lands or country IN any
way the money is yours.
We love competition because We are
that we can undersell our
competitor: all we ask is chance To
show you what we have got. Come
and 90 with us and you Will not re-
greet il whether you buy on not; and
don't buy of us nor any one else until
you see what the other fellow has 10
offer, as buying a farm is some
thing you don't do every day

an Audubon boy who has gone ahead

Postmasters Very Busy.

That the postal department Of
the United States wants to know
just where it is ut, is evidenced
from the fact that every piece of
mail, no matter to what class it
belongs, must be counted during
the entire month of October.
On July every pound Of mail
passing throug the p,stotfi sc was
weighed and each day this has to
be done, until the expiration Of six
months, which will be Dec. 81.
Now comes the order to count
each piece, postal card. package,
registered mail, penalty, letter, in
in fact the entire eleven classes Of
postal matter will be included in
the count. Not only that but the
postmaster's report must show to
which state. territory or country
each parcel is addressed which
goes through his hands. The
newspapers will furnish tabulated
report each day of the number of
papers they mail, and the number
that goes to each state, etc. In
this way the postal department
will know exactly the volume Of
business done at each postofice as
we'll as the amount each mail train
will carry and just how far each
parcel is to be carried by the diff
ferent lines.
The Minot office handles per-
haps more mail than any other
Office in the state, and Postmaster
Brunner will certainly be busy
man during the next thirty days
in preparing these reports. The
Minot newspapers will alone mail
no less than 200, 100 pieces during
the month of October.

HANSBR0UGH
HARD AFTER
THE MILLERS
Having Received Numerous Letters
From Farmers and Others,
Charging Millers
With Mixing Of Hard and Durum
Wheat, the Senator VIII
Make Investigations.

Fargo Forum: The spread be-
tween the price Of hard and durum
wheat. and the suspicion that much
of the flour that is being put upon
the market is made by the liberal
mixture of durum wheat with the
hard variety, has given rise to
much criticism of an unc ,mpli-
mentary nature as respects the
millers.
Senator Hansbrough reports
that he is in receipt of numerous
letters from the farmers and others
on the subject and has taken up
the case with the secretary of agri-
culture with view of ascertaining
If such an admixture is not an
infraction of the pure food law.
The fact that the millers have
hitherto resorted to questionable
tactics in order to secure cheap
wheat needs no elucidation at this
time. The people are thoroughly
familiar with the efforts of the
millers a few years ago to import
frosted wheat: ostensihly to be
ground into stock food. A check
having subsequently induced Sec
retary Shaw to admit foreign wheat
free of duty under the drawback
law, it is to be expected they will
prosecute their cheap wheat
schemes wherever possible. That
durum wheat makes a fair grade OF
flour csnnot be successfully disput-
led and yet the price that they are
willing to pay for it is so fa1
below the price Of the hard
variety that there is a suspi-
cion that the two are literally
mixed and the product put on the
market as first grade -four. The
department of agriculture is
charged with the administration of
