Our Real Army.

No nation ever can or ever did main. ficiently great to defend itself against all other powers. The strength and the dependence of every government is in her citizen soldiers, and is in exact proportion to their bravery and effectiveness. The state militia or national guard in our own country the auxiliary reserve in England, the Landwehr and the Landsturm in Ger. many stand behind and form the great military reserve of the regular armies of these nations.-Army and Navy Life.

WAS A VIKING FUNERAL SHIP
Interesting Relic of the Past Dug Up
 in Norway.

Recently in Norway was discovered a viking funeral ship at least HOO years old. It's mortuary chamber con tained the bones of two women who, judging from the size of the craft and the elaborateness of its appointments, belonged to some noble and wealthy family. The vessel. which is 70 feet long and 16 feet inches broad was dug out of a tumulus, two and half miles from the shore, near Tonsberg.
 It contained an extremely valuable collection of historic remains, inclu- ding four-wheeled chariot, richly and quaintly decorated, four sledges, three of them curiously carved, sever al beds, lintels, mill, spinning wheels, and a variety of kitchen uten- sils. A diligent examination of these has led to the conclusion that the flu neral ship belongs to the ninth cen tury.
 Many of the ornaments. mostly of carved wood, are unique. The ship and its strange cargo, constituting one of the most important archaeological finds ever made in Scandinavia, after being carefully restored, will be placed tn the Christiana museum.

TO ind new cotton plant or a new flax straw or fiber which shall take the place of wool or silk, or to put among commercial possibilities a new material from which to manufac- ture fine paper, are among the aims. Four inventors have recently reached what they claim to be success, each in his own particular search, and de. scriptions of their products showing how widely varying results are being attained are printed in the Technical World Magazine.

slight colds are apt to be fashionable, and sometimes they last until late in the winter, often with serious results. Prevention is always better than a cure.

UP-TO-DATE HOG NOTES.

Hog prices are going to higher levels.
The fat hog is again coming to his
own.
The more ever the drove the better
the price.
The country is about through liqui-
dating on hogs.
Cattle are practically two cents high
er than hogs today.
You can see a Tamworth five miles
away-broadside view.
We find more of theory than of hog
in the so-called bacon type.
No rain no corn; no corn no hogs;
no hogs no "nothin,'; let it rain.
Corn at fifty cents and seventeen
pigs in the litter-thats Il on you.
No foot, no hog, is pretty good phil
osophy from the utility standpoint.
There is room for a sky-rocket stunt
There is room for a little sky-rocket
stunt in the commercial hog world
yet.
Preventative measures beat cure-alls
"all holler-keep the herd on the up
grade.
Speaking of hog cholera, is there
anything that prevents prevention
from preventing?
1t now takes three weeks to get a
carload of hogs within fourteen miles
of Havelock.
A blind pig" down town is a tough
proposition, and not much better out
on the farm.
The 1908 spring pig crop in farmers
hand will be s%hort-that is the best
to be said of it.
The country hog buyer values the
hog by the tip of the scales-not by
the tip of the ear.
When a hog begins to get out of
sorts physically he needs a doctor as
bad as anyone else.
The country is a little late in calling
the packers bluff. but the feeling will
be bullish henceforth.
The time to look up a good herd
boar is we'll in advance of the time
when you want to use him.
A hog is literally OF his last pins
when he hits Chicago-some of the
bunch have cashed in a little previous
ly this time.
A litter of pigs soon develop into
a ton-and-a-half to two tons of pork
on foot: the little ones" hustle to get
to the halfway post.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Their Uneeasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily, when un-
healthy some part Of this impure mat
ter is left in the blood. This brings
ON many diseases and symptoms
pain in the back, headache nervous
ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, govt,
gravel, disorders of the eyesight and
hearing, dizziness, irregular heart, de-
bility, drOwsiness, dropsy, deposits in
the urine, etc. But If you keep the
filters right you will have no trouble
with your kidneys.
John Farrand, barber, living in the
eastern part of B%rookings, S. d., says;
Il have great faith in the merits OF
Doan's Kidney Pills and believe this
remedy TO be a safe and reliable one
for all disorders arising from weak
kidneys. For nearly five years my
wife suffered from rheumatism in her
hack and shoulders. / cannot describe
the agony she suffered, but those who

A CARD OF THANKS
And An Announcement

Brookings, S. D., June 18th, 1908.
To the six hundred and sixteen
friends who voted for me at the recent
Primary l wish to extend my sincere
thanks and assure you your kindness
is fully appreciated. When one o N
siders that a large number OF my
friends were 'sand-bagged' on n
side with the argument Vote for Of
terness, Reeves has no chance and
Barge may win" and on the other side
with the argument Vote for Barge,
Reeves cannot win" and the further
delusive impression spread broadcast
from the partisan headquarters and
the newspapers Of the county that
was an Independent candidate, it ap-
pears to me that the result OF the vote
clearly indicates that | am the choice
of the republican voters Of this county
for County Auditor. Believing this to
be true, and at the urgent and per-
sistent request of many friends who
believe likewise, after due considera-
ton I have concluded to stand as an
independent Republican candidate for
the Office of County Auditor of Brook
ings County and hereby nounc my
self as such.
In arriving at the conclusion TO stand
independently | have not overlooked
the argument the opposition will use,
that because | have entered the Pri-
mary and was beaten that | should
abide by that vote. In answer to this
objection | will say that | was not
fairly beaten, and neither the press
nor the factions can persistently raise
the point, because they have all main
tanned | was running independently.
| also fully realize the stigma and pre-
JUDGE that would be turned against
a man running Independently in a
community where two political parties
of about equal strength were contend
ing for the supremacy, and a man of
n party would run independently
against a regularly nominated candi-
date and thereby throw the Office to
an opposing political party. The force
of this argument is entirely lost here
as the polls show there are not enough
opposing party votes to take this Of
flee from the Republicans with two
candidates running on the Republican
ticket. If Mr.. Bitterness has beaten me
once fairly he can do so again, for he
now has the advantage of being on the
ballot as an independent Republican
candidate at the November election.
I again ask a free investigation as to
my merits and ability for this office
nd ask for the support of teh people of
this county, | wish further to call your
attention to the fact that he city of
Brookings is the residence of every Re-
publican candidate except the candi-
date for County Treasurer. Is such the
wish of the people? Record your an.
swer at the November election.
Yours Very Truly,
d. w. Reeves,
Sterling Precinct.

A most unusual educational oppor-
tunity was offered the cltizens OF
Brookings recently. Mrs. Lucia NJ
Harvey, the western representative or
the Auxiliary Educational League OF
Boston. spent a few days here IN the
interests of that institution. The work
of the League embodies readings when
supplement the school and college
work in the home; and the ethical
culture feature of the plan is timely
and gratifying. Men and women from
Harvard University, Princeton, Le-
land Stanford and Wesleyan are as
sociated in this work, not only for
the moral uplift and high standards
of literature taste, but they present
practical. tangible aid in the develop
and training of the young, in
harmony with the course OF study
as it is prescribed in all schools.
The graded idea is unique; and the
scope, extending from the kindergar-
ten to the college. is unusual. The
plan is enthusiastically endorsed by
such men as Washington Glidden, Dr..
Gunsoulus, w. T. Harris Of our Nat
ional L. S. Commission as we'll as
by all the leading educators Of the
country.

Those who have heretofore prided
themselves as being expert compllers
of election returns have certainly had
a fifteen fourteen puzzle during the
past week. Usually by comparing the
vote at the head of the ticket a fair
index of the vote and a line on the
remainder of the ticket could be Sc
cured. The primary system of voting
has spoiled all of this, as the voter
had a chance to assert his great Am
erican privilege to the fullest extent
and in many instances even in the
choice of county officers it required
the official count to determine the re-
suit. In counties where Kittredge ran
ahead the stalwart congressman often
ran behind the insurgent candidates,
while in other counties that gave Craw-
ford a good majority the progressive
nominees ran behind the stalwarts.
Those who voted for Congressman Hall
and also for Martin because they
thought the west side Of the state
was entitled to a congressman now
realize that they cast a vote against
Mr.. Hall. There were enough such
votes cast to materially change the
result and to have placed our fellow
townsmen far in the lead if the voter
had realized what the outcome might
be.
