April.

World Herald: Well, so long, April!
You're a queer piece: and the way
you've behaved, while you've been our
guest, ought to entitle us to speak our
mind at the parting The long and
short Of it is that you needn't hurry
back until you've first spent little
time studying some approved textbook
on manners It's cinch that you
don't know how to behave in polite
society.
We trusted you April, to be decent.
All through the weary winter we look
ed forward to your visit with delight
We remembered you as gay, jolly,
warm hearted "goOd fellow, !" sunny
dispositioned and rich in all those quail
tiles that make for affection. And
now look at what you've done!t What's
come over you, anyway? You must
have fallen into some mighty bad and
corrupting company since you were
last here. In plain English, you've
shown yourself to be no lady, Well,
get mad, if you must; but it's true.
Take a brace! No, were not trying
to turn you out Of doors. for good and
all. The fact is, we should hate to
look forward to future with no April
in it; but for mercy's sake, get wise to
yourself. You've done us dirt, this
trip; but you're a part of the divine
order of things, and we don't want to
lose YOU Still, on the square, now old
pals, you're not acting right. Take a
friends advice, and cut out the booze
and the cigarettes and rest your, nerves
for a year, in some quiet place, and
then come back right. That's a good
April.

To Cut Fuel Prices.

Reports which have been published
in some of the newspapers regading
che formation Of the Northwestern Co.
Operative Coal and Dock Company OF
Ashland, Wisconsin is of practical in
terest to the farmers of this vicinity.
This company has been organized ex i
pressly for the purpose of supplying
coal for the cooperative farmers in
stitutions OF the Northwest, and is to
be entirely independent Of the coal
trust, or any of Its allied institutions.
Under the plan of organization the
stock is to be operated for the one pur-
pose OF giving the farmers OF the
Northwest, through their co cooperative
companies, the opportunity 10 secure
coal at cost price without being dictat-
ed to by the coal trust. Already a
great many Of these co operative in
stitutions have taken stock in the en-
terprise and an organization has been
effected.

RUSH FOR LAND
Three Land Offices Busy Distribut-
ing Homesteads.

The movement into the country west
OF the Missouri river is a spectangular
one, as it is concentrated practically at
the three points Of Pierre, Chamberlain
and Rapid City, where the land offices
are located. and such concentration calls
particular attention to this movement.
But while people are going west of the
river by hundreds the portion of the
Missouri valley east of the river is Sc
curing a share of population which
comes to take the cheap lands east of
the river to which they can secure i'm
mediate title without waiting to perfect
homestead title. The people come with
their families and household goods,
stopping at the small stations along the
lines of railroad, not making any great
showing in any one place, but helping
materially in the increase of population.
