get enough property in a few years to
enter into banking and commercial
channels of city life, and live upon
the interest of farm investments. In
almost every South Dakota town and
city may be seen the results of farm
ing operations in large brick struc-
lures erected by many coming from
the farms. The visitor to the towns
in South Dakota notices the fluent
takers about ranching in every line
of business. Strangers in South Da-
kota look in amazement at the farm
ers living in cities and operating
ranches somewhere in the country.
Every dollar taken from the farm re-
presents new force in the ranks of
finance. 1t came from source that
had to be developed. 1t represents
production in lines that year before
did not exist. The land simply offers
it's fertility to those handling it in a,
proper way on the highway to sue
cess. 1t has no commercial value
during the months of winter. The
plows of springtime must enter its
surface and prepare it for the recep-
tion Of seeds. Careful tillage, and
systematic harvesting insures the
crops that bring money. With that
coin in abundance the frugal man
can secure sufficient funds in few
years to lease his lands and retire
from active labor. The South Dako-
tn farmer does not work for a life
time to secure competency. In
many instances men have entered up
on farms and borrowed sufficient
money to plant and harvest the first
crop, and by adhereing to good bust
ness principles, have been able to
quit the york in less than twelve
years. practically independent. They
have accomplished what business
men struggle for half century to OBJ

to all honest endeavors. In no case

tion of wealth by the average South

The tariff bill having passed the
house has gone to the senate where it
will all be made over. Under the
constitution all revenue bills must
originate in the lower house, but in
reality the senate often so amends the
bill that it is practically new bill.
1t will probably require a month or
more for the senate to pass it's amend

favor the new charter carrying with
it the commission form of govern

Mr. Sam Manley stated today that

was finally agreed that the road will
swerve further south, crossing the l.

sand feet further south than the
route formerly adopted This will en-
able the line to be run south of some
tracts that would cost the city too
much, and will cheaper the right-of-
way to be purchased, it is claimed,
several thousand dollars. The final
adoption of this plan hinges on the
report of the engineer, after neces

If this route is finally adopted the
road will enter the city along Hick

NOVELS INSPIRED YOUTH
Tried to Extort $4,000 From His
Sunday School Teacher-Weak-
ened Toward the End.

Atlanta, Ca, April Tt was just
a fool notion l got from reading
dime novels" said Daniel W. Johnson,
Jr., the 1S-year-old young man, who
was lodged in the county Jail here
last night for having attempted to
extort $4,000 from Asa G. Gambler,
prominent banker and Georgia.
wealthiest citizen, through Black
Hand methods.
The young man at first told the po-
lice that he had been forced by three
strangers to write letters to Mr.. Cand-
Ter demanding the money. He now
admits that the scheme was of his
own concoction.
Johnson wrote the second letter
Sunday renewing the demands and re-
peating his threaths of death to Mr..
Gambler in case of his noncompliance
and then he went to church and
took his regular place in Mr.. Cand-
ler's Sunday school class.
A decoy, package, was placed I'M
der the steps Monday night, as de-
manded, but Johnson admits he got
cold feet" and did not go for it.
Yesterday he called Mr.. Gambler
over the telephone, and after some
parleying, the latter agreed to take
$1,000 to a point on Moreland avenue
late in the afternoon and leave it.
Johnson saw the package deposited,
but did not attempt to get it until
darkness came on, and then he was
arrested.
In one of the letters Mr.. Gambler
was instructed to Just slide in close
up to the side of the steps and put it
under them and then '23' as hard as
you can. Don't fail or you will be
blown to kingdom come before day

South Will Be Affected

Washington.-"We will surely be

til September l., said Senator Clay Of
Georgia Monday respecting the ses-
sion. Il observe" he said, that the
committee has placed tariff on hides
and also on cotton bagging and cot
ton ties. We of the South are not so
much concerned about the duty on
hides, but New England need not
think she can tax our people on ties
and bagging without hearing from us.
So far we have remained very quiet
in the present contest, but unless
am much mistaken the Democratic
senators will be heard from from
this time on. The duty on bagging
alone will cost our people al least
$4,000, 900 year, and we will not
submit without a protest"
