DOCTOR USES D. D. D. IN
PRACTICE
Eminent Physician Says This
Great Liquid Prescription
is Certain Cure for
l.czcma

Still another Eczema special
lst comes forward in enthusias-
tic praise of d. d. D. Preclip-
ton, the wonderful external
remedy which cures Eczema
ana other similar diseases like
magic. He is DIR. G. r. Holmes
of Silver City, Miss, and in
summing up his impressions of
the startling cures u. ID. ID. has
effected, he says:
II have been using your D.
D. D. for your years with graft
flying results. IT'S as near a
specific for Herpes, Eczema,
psoriasis, etc, as is quinine for
malaria"
DR.. Holmes is one of hum
dreds of physicians who use d.
d. d. in their daily practice.
The D. D. D. company allows
physicians to use this remedy
with the understanding that
they tell their patients what it
was that cured Them whom tha
terrible itch has been wiped
out, the skin healed and the
raw wound covered over with
soft white skin. d. d. D. is
not a nasty paste to smear the
skin and clothing, but it is a
clear liquid. 1t is advisable to
use ID. D. d. soap in connection
with D. d. D. Prescription.
Is any further proof of the
curative powers Of d. D. d.
Prescription necessary? That
remedy is sold at Robt. w.
Harveys. Come in and let us
show you convincing proof that
D. D. D. will cure your skin
disease. Even if you have not
decided to use D. D. d. remedy

The farmer who attempts to make
a success of his business without the
combination Of live stock will have a
hard job on his hands, for cropping
will gradually take the substance out
of the soil and he will find that his
land Is nearer to being worthless each
year. The only way to circumvent
this is to use commercial fertilizers,
and that is expensive. Better far
raise live stock, and all that the farm
will stand. Generally, it woulu be
far more profitable to feed every
pound of grain to stock than to sell it
on the open market even at high
prices. -..

Mother, Home and Heaven

Mother, Home and Heaven, says a
writer, are three Of the most beauti-
full words in the English language.
And truly l think that they may be
we'll called So what word strikes so
forcibly upon the heart as mother?
Coming from childhood's sunny lips,
it has peculiar charm: for it speaks
of one TO whom they look and trust
for protection.
A mother is the truest friend we
we have; when trials heavy and sud-
den fall upon US; when adversely
takes the place of prosperity; when
friends, who rejoiced with US in our
sunshine, desert us when troubles
thicken around us, still will she
cling to US, and endeavor by her kind
precepts and counsels to dissipate the
clouds of darkness, and cause peace to
return to our hearts.
The kind voice OF mother has often
been the means of reclaiming an err
ing one from the path Of wickedness
to life Of happiness and prosperity.
| The lonely convict, immured in his
dreary cell, thinks of the innocent
days of his childhood, and feels that,
though other friends forsake him, he
still has guardian angel watching
over him; and that, however dark his
sins may have been, they all have
been forgiven and forgotten by her.
Mother is indeed a sweet name, and
her station Is indeed holy one; for
in her hands are placed minds, to be
moulded almost at her will; aye, fit
ted to shine-not much, 1t IL true, on
earth, compared, If taught Alright,
with the dazzling splendor which
| awaits them In heaven.
Home! How often we hear persons
speak of the home of their childhood.
Their minds seem to delight in dwell
ing upon the recollections Of joyous
days spent beneath the parental
roof, when their young and happy
hearts were as light and free as the
birds who make the woods resound
with the melody Of their cheerful
voices. What blessing 1t is, when
weary with care, and burdened with
sorrow, to have home to which we
go, and there, In the midst OF friends
we love, forget our troubles and dwell
In peace and quietness.
Heaven! That land of quiet rest
toward which those, who, worn down
and tired with the tolls of earth, d.

At this wint er's legislative session
at Pierre steps should be taken that
will insure square deal for Stanley
and other large counties in the west
ern part OF the state on legislative
representation. Here our county Is,
ranking six in point of population in
the state, and entitled to one repre-
sentative, and hooked up to Lyman
for senator. Is it fair? Is it just?
OF course, In q rapidly developing
district like ours it Is hard, even II
fair play is intended, to keep pace
with it. But something should be
done, and done this winter-not three
or four years from now.

''Standpatism, whether in politics,
religion, or agriculture, represents
not so much party or faction or
doctrine as certain mental and
moral type of character, a type that
is reasonably well satisfied with things
as they are and sees no very urgent
reason for change" Thus writes the
editor of farm department in one of
the state papers. In an agricultural
way, we have but very few stand
patters in Stanley county. In fact
we do not know of any man who will
not rejoice in the agric ultural develop
ment of the county. That it is bound
to be one of the wealthiest sections
in the state is the belief of the major
'ity of the men within it's borders.

It's very old expression to say of
the defeated candidate that Hes
gone up Salt river" Few people
know the derivation of the saying or
even know that there is such stream
as Salt river. 1t is fact however
that this river empties into the Ohio
about 20 miles below Louisville, after
running through several Kentucky
counties. The story is that when
Henry Clay was running for the pres
idency in 1924, he was going to Louis
willie, to make speech for the wind
up of the campaign, but boatman
who sympathized with the other side
carried him "up Salt river" instead
Of up the Ohio, thereby making him
miss his engagement. The result
was so close in that election that
the choice was thrown into the house
Of representatives, and John Quincy
Adams finally beat Clay, after an ex-
citing contest. 1t was a saying at
the time that If Clay had not ''gone
up Salt river" he would have won the
election-and the expression has con-
tinued current ever since.

Taft is going to call a special sess-
ion of congress, soon after his in
aaguration, for the purpose OF re-
visiting the tariff. Whether the at
tempt at revision will bring about a
reduction on the schedules affecting
trust made goods (most any of us can
name a few SAMPLES off hand is q
conundrum. But the standpatters
will have to be brushed aside and
something that will make noise
like real revision brought into being,
else the democratic party will have
more than fighting chance to Swing
in at the head Of national affairs four
years hence.

Although the herd law is i'm effect
it does not signify that Stanley coun-
ty is going to be depleted of its stock.
We are moving toward a time when
our county will have more stock than
it has ever had yet. The dumb
brutes will be better fed, will have
shelter, and will demand a far better
price than the average range animal.

SOUTH DAKOTA RECOGNIZED
One of the New States is Making q
Good Showing.

The fact that South Dakota touch
es some of the counties in north
western Iowa, at first makes 1t
appear as our nearest neighbor but
when one gets over into the western
half of the state he realizes that he is
considerable of distance from
home, because he has passed over the
great farming country east of the
Missouri, crossed that stream on a
large new bridge at Pierre, the state
capital, noted the thriving suburb Of
Fort Pierre and followed the Bad
river for many miles toward its
source away up in the very heart of
what once was noted In the geo.
graphies as the Great American
Plains. South Dakota is q large state
and althouh it touches Iowa on the
east it streches away to the black
Hills where the richest gold mine in
the world is yielding up its precious
metal; where the most profitable tin
mines are found and where nature
has been profused in contributing
some of the most, interesting scenery
in the United States, puzzling scien-
lists in the formation of the Cave Of
the Winds and giving to the medical
world the healthgiving waters of the
Hot Springs.
While Dame Nature was crossing
over from the level, fertile prairies of
eastern Dakota she paused long
enough at Pierre to place in the
bowels of the earth great reservoir
of gas and that city not only finds it
profitable to utilize this product In
lighting the streets and homes but
the good housewife finds it conven-
lent and cheap for cooking and heat
ing. To show how nature plans for
variety 1T is only necessary to state
that this gas is found in solution with
the water from deep artesian wells
and a process Of elimination has been
devised that makes the product
superior 70 the real thing as it ex-
lists in Pennsylvania and several
other states.
There was time not many years
ago when a large section OF South
Dakota was In disrepute. Huron is
now in the heart Of the best agri.
cultural section in the world. It was
not always thus. Up to within nine
years ago those trying to farm In that
section had about the same fight with
drouth that early settlers in north.
western Iowa had with grass-hoppers
and they overcame in much the same
manner-simply by sticking to It.
Nine years ago the land in all that
section was brown and barren
Quarter sections Of nice laying land
could be had for $500 or less. People
were heart-sick and dicouraged.
Towns were abandoned or forced te
merely exist. But things are differ
ent now. Plenty Of rains visit thai

moderate improvement commands
from S35 to $50 per acre. Asfar as thu

FIX UP THE FARM.

We are in "new" country, which
means one that is just being developed.
I'VE have great faith in it's future,
and at any time welcome the coming
of investors, or those who will take
on lands in our vicinity, which has
been lying idle for long periods, say,
and under their management we ex-
pect to seelhe virgin soil made to
bring forth life, and wealth. We are
all aware that when those around us
are up and doing, and are prosperous,
that it means an increase in values
for us, without any apparent exertion
on our part. To repeat, we welcome
investors mot meaning merely specu-
lators), and we are glad when an adj
joining tract of land passes into the
hanis of someone that will do some
thing with it.
Land sales have SO far been SOW.
There has been a dearth of lands
offered for sale, but at the same time
there has been some transfers that
through the county total large
acreage. There are things, too, be-
sides the quality of the soil, that will
lead homeseekers to consider serious
ly the proposition of investing. A
test of the quality of the soil may
show it to be right, and then the
prospective purchaser wants to know
how far he is from a railroad point,
and market, the proximity of schools
and churches, and he is more than
apt to want to know something
about his peighbors and how they
have been prospering. Perhaps there
is someone on an adjoining tract who
has well arranged set of
buildings, his land is fenced,
his machinery is housed, there are
comfortable quarters for his stock,
and all the animals about the place
look fat and slick; his buildings are
painted, and everything around him
has it's place, and is in that place.
The purchaser to be takes in appear
ances, decides that he won't be
altogether alone in that territory if
he does buy, and looks upon things
generally as desirable. This place is
under thifty management and will
serve as a pacemaker for him.
We have places in this county that
are easier to sell land in than are
others, though the soil may be just
as good in one place as another.
You may go up on the Hardingrove
fats, we are told, and drive for miles
through fenced lanes, and past the
well constructed and well kept homes.
One will snap up a chance to buy in
that neighborhood, for appearances
look good to him, and the soil stands
any test to which 1t may be put. We
dare say there are other districts
where the same conditions obtain,
and only cite the fats as an example.
To be brief, paint your buildings,
fix up your fences and get them
straight with the world. Even a
small place, if it is neat and we'll
kept, may help to get a settler on
that idle quarter next to you. The
