The finest farming lands to be
seen anywhere in the world, said
Hallet, are to be purchased from the
government for from Q to S cents an
acre and the acreage is unlimited for
any purchase. The government Of
Brazil is peculiar institution, ac-
cording to Hallet. While the federal
government possesses the sole pow
er Of levying duties on imports, each
of the states has the right to tax ex-
ports and to make its own laws. This
form of federal and state sovereign
ty, he says, is prolific of confusion
and has resulted to the disadvant-
age Of Brazil from a commercial
standpoint
Buenos Ayres, the capital of the
Argentine Republic, says Hallett is
the Paris of South America. 1t is a
city of nearly 100000 population,
very beautiful from a civic stand
point and one of the richest munci-
palities in the world. New York, with
its constant array of high prices, is
much cheaper place in which to re-
side than Buenos Ayres.

Cook. the Business Man.

Napoleon said: Man is the pro-
duct of his surroundings. In other
words, if man associates with chill
dren all his life, he becomes child
ish. This explains the uselessness of
old WORKOUT pedagogs. Teachers,
in general, are mere theorists. They
are not at fault; they see and teach
only theoretical things. Few of them
ever come in contact with the prac-
tical side of life.
Not so with President Cook. He
has made the commercial side of
Spearfish and of Lawrence county as
much his business as school affairs.
The business men of that community
have great regard for his Judgment.
We recall having attended a good
roads" convention held in the opera
house at eadwood in the spring of
1909, at which President Cook, as a
member of the committee from
Speartish, was present; and how at
tentatively he was listened to by the
large class of business men in at
tendance at the meeting; and how
one of these substantial chaps, lean.
ing over to friend, when President
Cook had finished speaking, said:
There's an educator with some COM
mon sense" This incident reveals
only too plainly the light in which
those of us are held by the business
world, who have been engaged for a
number of years in the teaching pro-
fession.
We recall just now that splendid
paper read by President Cook before
the S. D. e. A., at Lead, in Novem-
Der, 1909, on Waste in Education; +"
how he approached his subject, ana
dealt with it from a hard-headed,
practical business standpoint. We
need in educational affairs more men
of Cooks calibre.

Charles w. Murphy still claims

ed with bigamy, was called for trial.
today at Clayton! In a sensational

ATTACKS WICkERsHAM
NORTH CAROLINA SENATOR CRIT.
lcIsEs COTTON POLL SUIT.
SAYS the Department Of Justice Is un
dertaine only Partial Prosecution.

Washington.-Sen Simmons OF
North Carolina, In the senate Wednes'
day attacked the methods OF the de-
partment OF justice In the matter Of its
prosecution Of the cotton pool. He did
not complain because OF the suits. but
because the cotton producers and spin
ncrs had been involved In the matter.
Complaining of Partially in the en-
forcement of the sherman antitrust
law, Mr.. simmons declared that, in
planning to prosecute the bulls and not
the bears, the department had under
taken only a partial prosecution. He
said the proceeding amounted to a
usurpation of authority. a. ~ e..
Mr.. Simomns made bitter complaint
against course which he said had
had the eject OF placing the real cot
ton men in the light OF spectators
when their efforts had been In exactly
the opposite direction. @n d
IF the cotton spinners OF the coun-
try will cooperate in the same line
which the cotton spinners Of the South
are pursuing. all the exchanges OF the
country will be on a spot basis instead
Of a paper basis" he said. He contend
ed that contracts for future sales Of
cotton should be for real and not a
sham delivery.
The attorney generals attitude to-
ward the price OF cotton was sharply
criticised He said that official had
attacked prices not because OF the
pool. but because he considered them
a national evil.
He had the whole matter wrong;
prices are not abnormally- high" said
Mr. Simmons. They certainly are not
above the level Of prices fixed by the
tariff and In the interest Of monopoly .
He declared there had been no protest
from the attorney general when the
bears had squeezed SIS out OF the price

Bridge Building Deferred

The prospects of securing another
bridge across the Flambeau at Lady
smith at the present time are not very
fattering. The action of the county
board authorizing bridge to be built
below the 500 railroad bridge, to con-
meet with the county road, was rather
hasty, and it is said that sufficient care
as to detail was lacking to make valid
any bonds that might be issued on the
strength of such action. Therefore
this much-needed bridge is held up un-
til further action by the county super
visors.
It is learned on good authority that
no bridge will be built connecting the
NJ. w. w. Co. s Third addition with the
city until the legislature shall pass a
law making it possible for the common
council to legally bind the city to repay
the Wooden Ware Co. for such a
bridge as they proposed to build last

A CHRISTMAS PARTY
A LITTLE GIRL LEARNS TO
PLAY SANTA CLAUS
TWELVE HEARTS MADE HAPPY
Guests are Feasted, Have Christmas
Tree, and Then Taken Home
in Sleigh

There was one little girl in Ladysmith
who had real Merry Christmas-per-
haps there was more than. one.-but
the one we speak of will remember the
events of last Sunday with great pleas
ure as long as she lives, as will also a
dozen other little boys and girls of her
own age who attended her Christmas
party. The guests ranged from to s
years Of age and were selected because
of their ability to appreciate party
some of them had never been to a par
| ty before, several of them have no
mothers.
At noon on Christmas Day six little
boys and six little girls were seated
around the table laden with good things
to eat and all did justice to the occa-
sion. The little hostess and her moth
er waited on the table and saw that
all their wants were provided for. For
dessert they had ice cream. After
that there was Christmas tree-per-
haps there were prettier Christmas
trees in Ladysmith that day. but none
looked prettier to the children assem-
bled around them. Santa Claus was
Johnny on the Spot" arriving at just
the proper time, and to most of the
assemblage he was the real thing He
had candy and nuts for everybody, and
on that tree he found one or more sub
stantial gifts and some toy for every
guest present.
Then there was sleigh-ride, and all
were bundled into big bob-sleigh and
hauled ways into the country, and
just before dark each was deposited at
his home. Happy! Can you imagine
a bunch of kids who had a merrier
Christmas? They will review the
scenes of those few hours for months
to come.
And who was the little hostess
who devised this novel Christmas
party? 1t was Inez Richards, only
daughter of Mayor and Mrs. D. H.
Richards, and in the carrying out of
little plan she has become imbued with
the Christmas spirit and learned thus
early in life the truth of that Script
ural maxim, 'It is more blessed to
give than to receive
