TWO STATE FLAGS

The legislative session of two years
ago passed an act defining the Estate
flag" and appropriating $3.50 for
securing two official flags, one to re-
main in the state house, and the other
to be in the keeping of Seth Bullock
Camp of Spanish War Veterans The
flags have been received at the state
house and will be on exhibition at
the opening of the legislative session,
after which one will be sent to the
Bullock Post at Deadwood The flags,
in conformity with the law defining
them, are Of blue silk with the seal
of the state and the wording "'South
Dakota" on one side and on the other
''the Sunshine State with a center
representing the sun The flags were
designed by Miss Ida Anding of this
city and are credit to the abilities
of that young lady.

READY FOR AN INQUIRY

Colonel j. B. Geddes, commandant
Of the state Soldiers Home was in
the city last week while on his way to
Huron for holiday visit. Colonel
Geddes was a visitor. at the state
house, and declared his desire and
willingness for full and fair inves-
tigation of the situation at the home
at any time, and his belief that such
an investigation will sustain the ac-
tions of himself and the members of
the board. As the Legislators begins
its sessions within few days the in
vestigarion will no doubt come from
that source, by the selection Of 3
committee Of members for the work.
The situation at the home for the past
few months has not been one Of har-
mony by any means, and there have
been SO many charges flying that the
only way to clear the atmosphere ID.

tinguished. Witnesses told the off :

OUR WEALTH OF FARM PRODUCTS

1t is truism that the agricultural
wealth of this country is its largest
asset, and that the prosperity of the
country at large is more dependent
upon the farms than upon any other
OF Its resources. Never was this fact
so strikingly brought home as in the
figures published by the Secretary of
Agriculture in his recent annual re-
port. Nothing short of omniscience
can grasp the value of the farm pro-
ducts this year, )" says the Secretary.
and he places their value at the stu,
pendous figure of SIS 1926, o00, 900. This
represents an Increase in value over
that of 1909 of 1905, 600, 900; and there
can be little doubt that the Secretary
is justified in his statement that, at
40 time in the history of the world,
has any country equaled this record
As usual, the corn crop bulks the
largest and represents by far the
greatest valuation, which amounts,
this year, for 3, 121, 1881 900 bushels, to
about ST, 800 900, 900. The yield is even
greater than that of the record year,
1906, and it exceeds the average crop
OF the preceding five years by IA per
cent. That billion and half of money
is sufficient to cancel the interest.

DuT m a III the p0l3 and cilvar u,ipad

"still leave to the farmers of the coun-
try" says the Secretary, "a Nlittle

Next in value to the corn crop is the
cotton crop, valued at about 5000, 000,-
900. Then follow hay, valued at 100
millions; Spring and Winter wheat.
625 millions; oats, $50 millions. While
there was a decline in the farm value
OF all crops of l19 millions, there was
gain in the value of animal products
of about 424 millions. The past year
has been one of high prices for meat
and animals, and for poultry, eggs
milk, and butter.
Exports of farm products amounted
III 1910 to about 81 millions. Among
these, cotton was the principal item,
to the value of about $50 millions;
followed by packing house products,
1876 millions; grain and grain products,
1873 millions; and tobacco, So millions

Interested politicians are already
engaged in making plans for redis-
tricting the state preparatory to Sc
lecting the third congressman which
South Dakota may get if the ratio Of
representation is not made too large
The most feasible plan seems to be to
make two congressional districts of
the territory east of the Missouri
river, allowing all the territory west
of the river to form one district. The
probability is, however, that when
the next Congress fixes the ratio Of
representation it will be found that
South Dakota will still have two con-
gressmen and no more.

HUGHES MAY HELP
Progressive Republican Element May
Run Him For President

New York, Dec. 23-Charles Evans
Hughes, associate justice of the su
preme court, will be nominated for
president in 1912 if the so-called radi-
cal wing of the republican party is
able to compass that purpose.
If it be learned that Justice Hughes
will not permit any politics having.
his nomination in view, then the wing
will turn to the middle west, or to
some one of the states north of the
Ohio river and bounded on one side
by the Mississippi.
These decisions we're reached at in.
form al conferences which have been
held at Washington in the last two
weeks. These meetings have been
secretive.
Men of the progressive character of
Coy. elect Johnson of California and
Gov. Stubs of Kansas, and two or
three Others not quite so prominent
have found it convenient to visit
some OF the members of congress as

Gus calls, sometimes at their commit.
tee rooms, occasionally at their
homes.
In those of the conferences of which
reliable information has been received
here, it appeared to be not only the
unanimous, but the enthusiastic opin-
ion that the insalgent wing of the
republican party should begin such
politics as would compose the defeat
of President Taft at the republican
convention of 1912.

When town stagnates it is usually
because its citizens have no public
spirit. Content with things as they
are and unaffected by the progress
that goes on around them they see
their own community vegetate while
others near by, fortunate in their type
of citizens, go ahead from one year to
another. Thus it is that oftentimes
towns with many natural advantag es
are out-distanced in population and
wealth by places for which natur 9
