Don't Judge BY Prices

vertisements, for two import
ant reasons. First, because of
point of view. Second, be-
cause of occasional exaggera-
ton. To further explain:
The merchant with the extra
expense attending a credit
business judges a suit worth
SIS, and he is correct from his
point Of view. The same
suit from the Palais Royals
cash business view is marked
only $3.50. The same suit
is exploited by the merchant
who thinks himself clever
and his patrons fools, as
worth any old price, reduced
to any old price generally
higher than asked BY either
the reputable credit or cash
merchant. So, you see,
prices have to be Judged with
discretion. The best plan is
to make comparisons yourself
of both garments and prices.

A FRANK FRANkER.

Senator Ben Tillman of South Car
olina is defending himself from the
statement of the president concern
ing his connection with grating in
government lands. While the South
Carolina senator was preparing his
statement he received notice from
the Washington postmaster to for
ward him SIG as the amount of post
age due on the shipment OF Till
mans typewriter from South Caro-
lima to Washington. That is not bad
for the senator, coming out at the
present time. While senators are
permitted to- use the government
frank for certain purposes it looks
something like imposition to expect
the government to transpart his type
writer to Washington to save eX-
press charges. The senator evident
Iy is not free from the grating prop
osition when he attempts to have the
government pay his transportation
charges. In connection with this
rather overworked franking privi-
lege it is stated that a senator had
his household goods shipped from his
home to Washington on the frank
ing privilege. There seems to be
room for improvement in limiting
the uses to which the frank can be
put. 1t won't be long before some OF
the more avaricious senator's will be
trying to ship their own bodies home
through the mail service to save car
fare, now that the pass system has
been obliterated.-Mitc Republican
And the same senator purchased a
range and asked the manufacturer to
have the express company frank it

DEATH OF MRS. KELLY.

Mrs. John Kelly died at her home
in this city Saturday afternoon at two
o'clock, after an illness of two weeks.
The cause of her death was typhoid
pneumonia. Mrs. Kelly has been ill
with the same disease the past month
and his condition had been regarded
as even more serious than that Of his
wife. The funeral was held from the
Lutheran church Monday afternoon,
in charge Of the pastor, Rev. Green,
and the remains were inferred in
Greenwood cemetery.
Mrs Kelly was born in Brookings
county twenty-four years and eight
months ago, and was a daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. T. Aasen. Besides her
husband she is survived by a little
daughter. The sincere sympathy Of
the community is extended to this fam
lily in their affliction.

THE COURT GRIND.

Judge Geo. II. Marquis of Clear
Lake, opened the regular January term
of court at the court house Tuesday
molling. The term is the longest one

tried. OF the seven criminal cases two
have been disposed of, the defendants
pleading guilty.

of one year in the penitentiary at
Sioux Falls. Chas. Keester plead
guilty to furnishing Intoxicating liquor
to minor and was given jail sen
tence of fifty days. In the cases of the
State VS.. Charley Gibson and Mrs. Min
ME Messer, charged with adultery, 1t
is understood that the parties have
forfeited their bonds and left the

| ling apparatus.

WILL BE LIBERAL.

Agriculture has always Jared we'll at
the hands of the South Dakota legisla
ture. That is to say everything the
farmers have asked for as tending to
advance their interests have been un-
grudgingly granted 1t is likely the
coming session will be equally liberal
The agricultural college will of course
be literally sustained, experiment sta
tiOns continued with additional facili-
ties; farmers Institutes extended and
everything that can be done along edu-
cational lines will be done. Many be-
Ii We it would be to the great advance
ment of the agricultural interests to
give instruction in elementary agricul-
tural science in the common schools,
but thus far the farmers themselves
in the legislature have opposed it on
the ground that it is an impractical
fad. We are inclined to differ with
that view and believe the thousands
of young men and women who seek the
cities would remain upon the farms
and lead happier lives if they had been
shown in their school days something
of the beauty and wisdom of the plans
of the creator in his scheme of animal
and vegetable life. Aside from merely
educational work much attention will
most assuredly be given to increasing
the efficiency of the drainage laws,
good roads will be agitated and along
these lines whatever the farmer be-
leves will be for their interests Will
be done The buttermakers will ask
to have their proceedings published
and provision will doubtless be made
to accomplish this.-Pierre Dakotan.

Some excellent papers and talks
were given Tuesday and yesterday, In
fact the whole program this year is
the strongest ever presented by the
association. After the usual opening
exercises Tuesday afternoon, DR.. E. L.

SIMONSON GETS BUSY.

Representative Seivert Simonson of
this county, has introduced two bills
in the house which seek to prevent
drinking on trains.
One of his bills gives all train opera
tives complete police power, with au-
thority to arrest any offenders; an
other makes it misdemeanor to drink
upon any train operated within the
state, law similar to those in opera
ton in Tennessee and Texas.
Mr.. Simonson will have the encour-
agement and help of every decent citi-
zen of the state in his attempt to do
away with drinking and drunkenness
on trains. You can hardly travel on
any road in the state and not find this
evil, and the railroads, for the protec-
tion of their patrons, should have done
away with 1t long ago. AS they have
done nothing to remedy II, It is time
for the state to step In and compel
them 70.

OUR SCHOOL HERITAGE.

Once more a good sized fortune has
been distributed to the various school
districts of the state as the income
from the permanent school fund, the
principal of which can never be touch
ed, the income being used to reduce
taxation for school purposes. The to-
tai distribution for the year was near
ly half a million. The exact figure is
$465, 1920. The distribution in De-
cember was made on the basis of 1872
$50 pupils, which means that So was
distributed for every child of school
age in the state. The present year
will no doubt see the amount distri-
buted pass the half million mark, and
the tendency will be for it to- gradually
increase until the total reaches or
even passes the million mark annually
The total capital. when all the lands
are sold, will pass thirty million. and
it may reach forty million. 1t all de-
pends on how wise we are in the
handling of this princely heritage. To
crowd the sale of lands which are not
yet ripe for sale, would be the most
foolish policy we could adopt. 1t
would be skinning the future to meet
the needs of the present. The state is
prosperous and there is no crying
need for Fastening these lands upon
the market The development Of the
state has just begun. We now have
a population of half q million. In ten
years from now we ought to have a
population of over a million. Lands
will rapidly increase in value, and
schools lands which will now sell for
$12 and si5 per acre, will in ten years
bring the state three times that
amount. Why sell the lands at sac
rifice in order to get five per cent in
terest which the capital draws? The
policy of leasing lands and holding the
title should be followed persistently
for some years to- come, so that our
children may have permanent school
fund of forty million of dollars, the
income of which will go far towards
the maintenance of the public schoo!
system. Let us not be penny wise and
mound foolish TELEGRAM
