In these plain terms Daniel j.

the Civil war, today outlined the
purpose of his visit TO Atlanta

Continuing, Mr.. Sully said his
plan contemplates "the creation

IT IS reported that 1900 cars Of
stock were shipped from Belle
Fourche during 1909. This is 300 more
than last year, due to the sheep ship
ped. -Four years ago there were few
cars scattered throughout the year.
Last year there were 154, and this
year 300. Many cattlemen are alleged
to have sold their stock and gone to
raising sheep. The price this year
ranged from 81 to 25 cents a pound
for wool; the higher price being paid
towards the close of the season. Buy
ers are now in the Hills trying to con-
tract for 1910 at "a cents. This is an
unprecedented figure and the offer
has caused many sheep raisers to pre-
dict a 80 cent market for 1910.

THE ETHICS OF SAVING.

a Jealous banker in Sioux Falls, adj
vertising for persons to start savings
accounts with his bank, makes use Of
the trueism: "Water once past will
never grind again" To impress the
meaning Of the words the picture of
an old water wheel and mill race is
presented. Following this line of
reasoning the advertiser says:
"Money once spent is gone from
you and can only be acquired again
by labor or effort, but money in the
bank will work for you.day and night
till it reaches thu. point where it even
doubles ITSELF"
The reasoning is either good or bad
according to the position occupied. If
he be banker it is correct in one in
stance and misleading in another, for
even the banker desires to secure the
money so that he may place it in a
position to work for him, thus COM
polling the dollar to do double service.
If the person be a laborer tits well he
start a savings account, but in doing
so he must exercise judgement, not al
lowing the desire for gain to over
shadow his liberality in providing for
the immediate needs of himself and
those dependent upon him. Money is
a valued asset at all times, but is
beneficial only so far as it is capable
of purchasing that which is conducive
of benefit and to the we'll being of the
posSeSsor.
If the spirit of saving takes the
form of misery or penurishness, it is
bad for everyone, for it means denial
of comforts to the accumulation and
stagnation of business by the hoard
ing of money withdrawn from circu-
lation.
The Sioux Falls banker doubtless
did not anticipate going to the length
of depriving ones self to pile up the
dollars, merely hoping to get more
people to curtail expenditures of riot
Gus living, thereby saving the money
hitherto foolishly or carelessly squan-
dered. In this instance his advice tc
start a savings account is correct and
should be followed, as tits the stepping
stone to comfort and af1uence. There
Is no positive means of measuring
the purchasing power of the dollar
in circulation.

If THE land adjacent to Rapid City
could be subdiyided into five and ten
acre tracts and leased or sold to per-
sons who would garden it, much real
benefit would accrue; many people
would make money and every one
would be better off. Such tracts could
be made ideal poultry farms.

Attorney P. NJ. Dougherty Of Sioux
