scheme for separating farmers from
their money has been worked with
much success in South Dakota. An oily
CRATER calls upon farmer and makes

farmer consents.
Then the visitor explains that he is
only an agent. but that he can sell the
land at the price named if the owner
will agree to pay for advertising at the
rate OF so cents an acre. The agent"
promises orally that the advertisinr
money will not be payable until the
land Is sold but this stipulation is not
contained in q contract that the farmer
signs.

an "ad" and not overcourteous demand
for money. 1t is said that %

bait in Brown county and that one of

object is to secure mutual help against

This counter move of the bachelors
has somewhat Disconnected them, how

TOWNS At WAR FOR
YEARS, NOW At PEACE

Miller, S. D., Jan. 18.-After quar-
ter of century OF Ill feeling. Miller
and st. Lawrence now understand each
other and the old county seat animosity
has been buried. All this has come
about from sinking an artesian well in
St Lawrence.
In the boom days when a big coun-
ty seat war was at its height ST. Law
renee people sunk we'll, but 1t refused
to spout forth as is the habit OF these
wells. 1t was charged that Miller
boomers had tampered with the ma
chinery and caused the water to clog
while the men We're away from their
posts of duty, before the great water
bearing strata had been pierced by the
drill.
This charge was easy to believe as
true, as good flowing we'll In the town
at election time would gain many votes
for the county seat, and 1t was sup
posed that such a trick would not be
beyond a certain Miller boomer to hold
the seat Of government here.
Thus the Ill feeling went on from
year to year from the date Of the clog
ging of the first artesian we'll But
now comes vindication for Miller, as
another we'll has been bored there and
it too refuses to spout water. 1t seems
that the town is not located on the
artesian rock, although a few miles in
other directions good wells are Sc
cured.
Anyway the pioneer settlers there
now see how they were mistaken in
holding that Miller clogged their we'll
to keep them from getting the county
scat. Many persons in Miller who be-
lieved there might be something in the
accusation feel better to know that no
one so base ever lived in their town.
The county commissioners last sum-
mer let the contract to build ten steel
bridges over the streams of the county
and the work was not begun by the
builders until early winter The wealth.
er has been SO warm that the bridges
are just about completed, without any
Inconvenience from the cold.
