SIS AN ACRE
FOR ALFALFA
Beadle County Farmer Demon
StrateS the Great Possibilities
of this Crop

Huron, S. D., Oct. 16.-E. H.
Wemple, of Theresa township, has
just threshed his alfalfa crop from
five acres securing 80 bushels Of fine
alfalfa seed, which is worth $12 per
bushel, making the value of the alf-
alfa seed on this five acre tract $3.50
or S72 per acre. When it is con-
sidered that this alfalfa was raised
on land which is selling for from
$35 to $50 an acre, one can readily
understand why it is that prices for
farm land in this state will be mrch
higher Theresa township is well
adopted to the raising of alfalfa and
many fine fields of this valuable crop
are grown in that township. Mr.
Wemple was displaying a sample of
his alfalfa seed while in Huron We'd
nesday and by good judges it was
pronounced A |. Alfalfa is one of
the most profitable crops produced
and It's culture here is yet in its in
fancy. Wherever produced alfalfa
enhances the value of land and
scientific agriculturalists declare
that wherever alfalfa can be sue,
cussfully grown, farm land is well
worth 500 an acre.

100000 PEOPLE
IN SOUTH DAKOTA

Pierre, S. D., Oct. 17.-Doane
Robinson has been making popula-
ton estimates, and based his figures
upon the school census, using the
same ratio between school popula-
ton and total population as was
shown by the 1905 census of the
state. On that basis, with Indians
considered to be just the same IN
number as they were in 1905, the
population of the state is 100000.
Stanley county leads them all in in
crease, showing 20,298 at the pre-
sent time. The estimates show that
while the newer counties of the
northern and western portions of
the state have all increased, the
counties of the southeastern portion
of the state generally show loss.

5 TOT ON TAFT
IN CHICAGO POOLS
Sporting People Pick Taft as
Winner

Chicago, Oct. 16-Willlam H. Taft
is made a to 5 favorite for the
presidency bv Jim" O'Leary, king
of Chicago gamblers. By the same
authority Charles S. Deneen is a l
to 2 favorite for governor.
The stockyards gambler opened a
book on the election yesterday and
announced that he was ready to
post money on the candidates either
way. He does not give quite the
odds on Taft that he requires against
him. nor on Deneen either, for ne is
looking for his percentage. His
odds are as follows:
Taft-5 to 1.
Bryan tod.
Deneen-2 to l.
Stevenson-8 to 8.
O'Leary's odds were a surprise to
the BRYAN men. Several of those
around headquarters declared they
might journey out to the stock yards
today and make some small bets.

Three times has wave Of enthus-
iasm swept over a portion of this
country for the brilliant and ever
interesting democratic leader from
Nebraaka. only to break and fade
away before election day arrived.
So in 1896. in 1900, and again in
1908. Acknowledging his eloquence.
admiring his interesting personality
and good character, the American
people .give him homage for his
greatest service to the country,
namely-in not being elected.
Why? Because none of his lead
ing governmental theories have stood
the test of time and experience.
By not electing Mr. Bryan, and by
declining to follow his advice for the
twelve years last past, this country
has enjoyed its greatest era of pros
perity and development. What
more could be asked along that
line.
AS to correcting the evils and inn
perfections that grow out of new
conditions, or new and untried laws.
it is safe to trust the republican
party in the future as in the past,
because its record of progress and
accomplishment is greater than any
other party the country has known.
VIM H. Taft is an able level head
ed man of experience, and the busi-
ness judgment of the American peo-
pie tells them he will be safe and
practical in the Presidential chair,
as he has been in several other
places of trust.
Finally he is endorsed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, the most popular
leader of his generation among the
masses, as fit successor to carry
on his popular work for the people.
The sober second thought of the
American people has again met the
wave of Bryan enthusiasm, and for
the past ten days it has become more
plainly evident each day that Mr.
Taft will be elected by large ma
jority.

Political Advertising

The tendency towards indepen-
dence in newspapers and magazines
heretofore noticed is more strongly
emphasized this year than ever.
The great daily newspapers, and
many of the smaller ones, publish
all kinds of news about all parties
and their leaders. If anyone de-
sires to present any subject, or boost
a candidate, he pays for what space
he wants and advertises it, just as a
merchant advertises his bargains.
The great dailles express an occa-
sional editorial opinion upon men or
issues, but there are no longer par
ty organs among them as there
were rs years ago, filling every COL
umn with vote for our man." and
like partisan matter.
The weekly papers continue to be
party organs, because their fields
are limited and their environments
are different, but they, too. will! in
time follow the dailies as far as
circumstances will permit.
The republican national committee
is buying space in leading magazines,
the anti-saloon people and the liquor
associations are both paying for ad-
vertising space in state papers.
In the last Dakota Farmer the
democrats have a two-page adver-
tisement, telling of their "99 cent
bargains" and Thomas Marshall,
republican candidate for U. S. Sena-
tor in North Dakota, hires a page
to tell what good candidate he is.
These advertisements of course, do
not influence the papers, because
they are paid for at regular rates,
each side gets value received, and
neither consider it a favor. 1t is a
legitimate business transaction, and
the custom will grow.

AGAINST BRYAN?
Beveridge Questisns Expose New
Point i'm Campaign

In his speech at Lincoln, Neb.,
Senator Beveridge, of Indiana, asks
Mr. Bryan the most pertinent ques-
tions of the campaign, as follows:
q. If you are elected president
Mr. Bryan, will the democratic lead
er of the senate, Mr. Culbertson,
support your franchise plan for con-
trolling trusts as set forth in your
platform and your Indianapolis
speech on that subject? Will Senat-
or Rayner of MARYLAND, Senator
Daniel of Virginia, Senator Bacon
of Georgia, support this plank in
your platform or oppose it?
80. Will the Senators from Tex
as, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama,
Florida, Georgia, Virginia, Mary
land and Kentucky support or OPP
pose your franchise plan? And !
name these states for the particular
purpose of letting the people know
where most of the democratic SEN
ators stand on your principal issue.
"3. Are you willing that pub
lie poll of democratic senators shall
be taken as to whether they will sup
port or oppose you in your principal
policies? In this poll let these dem
ocratic senators say what policies of
yours they will support and what
they will oppose"

ITS A GOOD RACE
AMONGTHE GIRLS
The Big City District Shows Three
Leaders Close Up
Good Contests in Several of the
Districts

The Press five ring contest has
created some close races in several
of the districts, and many readers
of the paper at home and abroad
are attracted by it. Former resid-
entS of the county now living in
other states are sending in their
votes for their favorltes. A very
satisfactory number of new sub
scribers have been added to the list
by request of the girls among their
friends.
The payment of subscriptions in
several cases have been for three to
five years ahead, and in one instance
a farmer of South Hand county has
paid for his Press to 1914. to help
his favorite girl.
All votes sent in are carefully and
honestly recorded for the wish of the
patron, whatever his business with
this Office, subscription, advertising.
or job printing. The Press has no
desire to influence the choice of any
one, but simply requests each pat.
ron to name his or her own choice.
These five diamond rings are Of
fered as an interesting advertise
ment for the Press and it's business.
They were purchased of the Wilson
Jewelry Co. and paid for when the
contest began.
They will be cheerfully given to
the five girls selected by Press pat
rons-and it is fair to all to state
that the selection will largely de-
pend upon the efforts the girls them
selves make among their acquaint-
ances. 1t is easy to solicit either
subscribers, advertising, or job
printing for the Press, because peo-
pie want the paper, and business
men want printing.
