wake OF John Erickson. q business
man Of Moody County. who with his
wife and Eve grown children went out
into the northwestern part Ut the state
and took up six quarter sections OF
land In Butte county. They have
proved up on their land, and sold one
half of it, or three quarter sections, for
$3.50 an acre, or 81, 400 for the three
quarters. The remaining three
quarters the family will keep and cul-
tivate It as one large farm, paying
particular attention to live stock and
crops that can be profitably consumed
OF, the place by horses, cattle, sheep,
swine and poultry. They will make a
fortune for each member Of the family
Ia twenty years and have farm worth
at least 500 an acre. What Mr..
Erickson has done can be duplicated

fortunate enough TO have large

ACCORDING to Bradstreet's there was

ACCORDING to Bradstreet's there was
an increase, of 27.7 per cent in this
years yield of spring wheat over last
years, winter wheat showing IL de-
cline. This only lacks a million and
third bushels OF beating the record
yield of spring wheat, which will un-
doubtedly be made the coming year.
Corn shows an increase of 81 per cent,
lacking alb ut l6u, 900, 600 OF equalling
the record yield Of 1906. Potatoes show
q remar kable increase of 3l.7 per cent,
undoubtedly making q record yield
this year of 367,473.OOO bushels.
Tobacco and sugar also show record
yields this year. When these great
yields are combined with the big
prices now prevailing, some idea may
be obtained Of the prosperity that is
now at full blaze. Only three cereals
show falling of in value of total crop
this year over last and they are the
less important ones of barley, rye and
buckwheat.

Gov. vessey's Thanksgiving Proclamation
STATE OF SOUTH DAKOTA
EXECUTIVE CHAMBERS

EXECUTIVE CHAMBERS
1t is an old and beautiful custom, es-
tablished by our forefathers many years
ago, to set apart each year day OF
special prayer and thanksgiving for
the many blessings received.
Therefore 1, r. s. Vessey, Governor
OF the State OF South Dakota, do hereby
designate and appoint
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER, %, 1909,
as day Of general Thanksgiving and
request that IL be- observed as such
throughout the Commonwealth.
The year 1909, for South Dakota, has
been most wonderful year and as IL
draws towards the close it is fitting
that the people Of the state oh ould re-
joice and be thankful for the eminence
which our common wealth has attaiued
for the wonderful development Of our
resources, and for the material pros
perity which has come to US.
Earth has been gracious In giving
from her store, bountiful harvests have
been reaped, and our mines have Yield
ed generously.
Throughout the state there lie gen.
eral awakening to the responsibility OF
citizenship, to higher standard OF
public morals, and to most whole
some regard for The dignity OF the law.
Let US be thankful, also, that no pes
thence or dire calamity has befallen our
beloved state and, while we render
thanks for the many blessings vouch-
safed to US, let us not forget those less
fortunate THAI ourselves.
1t is becoming for us at this time TO
take some thought OF the manner In
which we are performing our part in
couseI wing, for the use OF future gen.
erations, the provisions which the AL
mighty has placed in our hands, as His
custodians. Tie streams, the timber.
the soil, and the mineral and fuel de.
pos Is have been entrusted to us, not 10
be despoiled, but to be conserved and
passed on to future generations, as little
depleted and in AZ good condition az IL
consistent with our Intelligent use.
Let us, on this day, offer our thaoks
to the Giver OF all good for cur spirit
ual, material, and moral blessings.
Let Us trust Him. even as our fathers
trusted Him, and render due acknOwl-
edgment to him for all that we are or
hope to be.

Seal OF the State, at the Capitol, ia

READING MATTER FOR 1910.

''Tell me what man reads and |
will tell you what he is" said a wise
writer; for little by little the things
that we read become our thoughts and
make the very texture of the mind.
During the last few mouths the at
tention of the American people has
been aroused to the consideration of
pure and impure foods. This agitation
has done good, for with the abundance
of good food there is little excuse for
using any food which is harmful. The
time has come when the American
family must give better attention than
In the past to another mater the
choice between good and bad reading.
We have read enough about wicked
ness in both public and private life; too
many stories OF criminal transactions:
too much about the evil and not
enough about the good 10 life.
Let US have the bright and clean side
OF our American life only. Let US read
stories Of heroes who are both brave
and noble, and not vulgar and comics
sed criminals. The mission Of the press

down; to suggest high, not low ideals
During the next few weeks tn
average American family selects tn,
periodical to enter the home for tn
next year. For our own sake, and still
more flor tn, sake OF our sons an,
daughters, it ID most important that VI
should select our periodicals with grea
discrimination. Let these subscrir
tions be only for clean, wholesome
patriotic periodicals; those which pre-
sent the good, not the bad, Ia huma

CHICAGO papers state that some thirty
or more bombs have been thrown into
gambling houses Ia that city, wrecking
surrounding buildings and doing all
sorts OF damage. All Chicago is
wrought up over it. Up to this time
it appears that no ore has thought OF
trying the plan OF closing up those
PLACES, thus removing the temptation
from the bomb throwers. 1t would
undoubtedly also cleanse the moral at
mosphere OF that city.

Monday night the services we're sus-
pended entirely to allow every body to

needed talk from Father Daily. The
meetings were resumed Tuesday even

and will be held every night this week
except Saturc ay and including Thanks

pine third. Practically all kinds
showed marked decreased cut and
for the 6rst three kinds of timber
there was falling of Of fifteen, twenty

Oak and hemlock maintane their rel

Louisiana was the heaviest producer
OF yellow pine lumber, supplying nearly
one-fifth of the total production. Texas,
Mississippi, Arkansas, and Alabam .

state of Washington, alone, supplied
more than three-fifths o. the Douglas
FIR cut, while the bulk OF the remainder
came from Oregon. Minnesota pro-
duced about third of the white pine,
followed by Wisconsin with about
fifteen per cent and New Hampshire

feature OF the report is that two Ne~

INDISPUTABLY the materials of'sub-

dispatch from Washington notes that
last year the ave: age cost to tn. gov
ernme mt Of food supplies for the army
was on the basis of 1885 cents for a
soldiers laily ration, whereas now it
is 2l,5 cents. At this rate the marke t
bill for the whole army for the current
year would be sl,540, 200 higher than
in 1908,
