For preserving the hands as we'll
as for preventing redness, rOughness,
and chapping, and imparting that vel
vety softness and whiteness much de-
sired by women Cuticura Soap, assist
ed by Cuticura Ointment, is believed
to be superior to all other skin soaps.
For those who work in corrosive
liquids, or at occupations which tend
to injure the hands, it is invaluable.
Treatment.-Bathe and soak the
hands on retiring in strong, hot,
creamy lather of Cuticura Soap. Dry
and anoint freely with Cuticura Oint-

Mitchell-NOW that South Dakota
duced about 65,000,000 bushels Of
corn the past season, interest is being
taken in the fourth annual state corn
show. which will be held at Mitchell
commencing Jan. II and continuing
until the 22nd inst.
It is expected Governor Eberhart Of
Minnesota will make an address 9th
ers who have been invited are Profess
sor CrOssley Of the Iowa Agricultural
college at Ames and Professor Holden
the famous Iowa corn expert.
The seed corn situation in South
Dakota is somewhat critical because
Of the hard frost coming so early in
the season On this account it is
pointed out that the corn school
should be attended by every corn
grower in the state, and. in fact, by
every one who is interested in seed
corn.
The school will be in charge Of
Professor Willis of the South Dakota
Agricultural college, He will be as
sisted by corn experts from within
the state and from other states of the
west and northwest.
BY dividing the state into these dis
tracts every one who raises fine corn
stands an equal chance with other
competitors to capture some of the
premiums.

active in almost every case in South

interests of the United States. During

10000 AMERICAN
SETTLERS GO
TO CANADA
THE YEAR 1909 HAS SHOWN AN
INCREASE OF OVER EIGHTY
PER CENT IN AMERICAN
SETTLEMENT.

Recent advices from Canada, our
next door neighbour, the neighbourly
country across the boundary line,
are that upwards Of ninety thousand
settlers from the United States went
into Western Canada during the past
year, most of them for the purpose of
taking up and settling upon the va
cant lands, 100 acres of which are
given free by the government, and
lands adjoining held by railway and
land companies are selling at from
nine to fifteen and twenty dollars per
acre. Even if thirty and forty dollars
per acre were paid, the price would be
low, as the lands produce Wonderfully.
and at these higher figures there is a
large interest on the money and labor
invested. The ninety thousand set.
tiers Of last year followed about si.tv
thousand of the previous year, and for
several years the number has been
running into these large figures. There
must be a reason for it. 1t may be
found in the single phrase, they are
satisfied" Nothing attracts people
more than the success of others, and
the news Of this reaching other thou
sands, causes them to investigate The
investigation in this case is always
satisfactory. The splendid land of
Iowa, of Indiana, of Nebraska, Kansas,
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio
and other States has risen to a high
value, and it is worth every dollar
asked for it. But there is not room
now for all on these lands. With the
ever increasing demand for grain,
there comes the ever increasing de-
mand for land. Canada is the only
country on the continent in a position
to supply it. Land there that costs,
say fifteen dollars an acre, produces
on reasonable calculation, % bushels
of wheat to the acre, or about $4,000.
The most liberal calculation as to cost
makes the cost to produce $3.50 per
acre, leaving a balance of $3.50 per
acre. The $3.50 carries good wages
for the farmer, and all other cOnceiv-
able contingencies. With conditions
like this, covering the entire area of
about 100000 square miles, it is read
lily understood why 10000 Americans
should follow the sixty thousand of
the previous year. Canadian Govern
ment Agencies at different points in
the Union are always ready to give in
formation regarding the free home
stead lands, ready to advise the set
tier as to the districts which would
suit him best.

During his service as prosecuting
attorney, he prosecuted successfully
a number of murder cases among
which will be remembered the John
B. Lehman, George Bear, Bad Elk.
Good Shot and Allen Walking Shield
cases
Lehman after being convicted three
times, expiated his crime on the gal
lows. He was the first person eXecut-
ed on the gallows since the admission
OF South Dakota as state. Bad Elk
was convicted, but cheated the gallows
by dyinS in Jail Good shot was sen
fenced to life Imprisonment. Shield
and Bear were both hung.
Mr.. Porter's success has not been
confined to his efforts on behalf of
the prosecution He defended John
Taylor, John Sellers and Horace Crof-
ford, each Of whom had been indicted
for murder nthe first degree. Tay
lor was fortunate enough to get off
with a comparatively short term of
imprisonment, and Sellers and Crof-
ford were severally acquitted.
Having served the public for over
sixteen years, Mr.. Porter believes that
he has contributed his full share to
public duty, and feels that he ought
to no longer sacrifice a remunerative
private practice, which has grown to
such an extent, and that he could not
give it his proper attention ii his time
were divided between it and the office
Of Assistant United States Attorney.
His resignation is to be regretted. for
he filed his public duties faithfully
and skillfully, but he takes with him
the good will Of the people.

ton, Richmond, Virginia.
Dear Sir:-I wish to express to YOU
my hearty sympathy with the work be.
ing done by your association in combat.
ting tuberculosis in the State and mar.
ticularly to commend your association
upon its activity in conducting the pres.
ent campaign for the sale of Red Cross
Christmas seals.
There are not less than 20. 900 cases
of consumption in the State-scattered
In every community and spreading dis.
ease and death among our people. Many
of these cannot hope for cure from their
own resources nor can they even learn
how to prevent the spread of the dis
ease among their families and init
mates. Your association is arousin1
public sympathy in behalf of these un-
fortunates and is educating them in
methods of prevention. / could wish
that all our people knew of this work
and would use the Red Cross seals at
this season as a contribution to what is.
In some respects, the most vital work
of the Commonwealth.
Very truly yours,

Agricultural Advancement.

This is pre-eminently day of agri-
cultural advance. Intensive farming
methods are rapidly taking the place of
the old haphazard methods of planting.
Improved corn culture, improved cotton
culture, and other methods of progress
are being experimentally practiced on
all sides. In all this awakening no fea-
ture holds quite as much encouragement
as does the care which is being bestowed
upon the training of the next genera
ton. Up and down the entire section
Boys Corn Clubs are competing for
prizes and the officially measured yields
IN many instances are gratifyingly
large. This attention to the boys is in
deed the keystone of the whole matter.
There would be little use in improving
agricultural, methods unless the inn
provement is to be made permanent.
Nor should the efforts of those en-
gagged in training the young be confined
to the boys. Hundreds and hundreds
of girls whose dresses are now at their
knees will be needed in the course of a
few years to make farmers wives for
the boys who are raising corn. Shall
the head of the house be trained so that
his interests shall center in the soil and
the sharer of his lot be left without any
interests at all? The farmers wife has
played a great part in the upbuilding of
the land but her lot has been a lonely
one. The man has his work in the field
to occupy his time and attention. HIS
wife, after the household affairs are
looked after, has little to distract her.
Vi course rural free delivery, rural tel
ephones and good roads are doing much
to ameliorate this condition but this
fact does not offer any good reason for
not giving the farm girl as careful train
ing as that received by her brother.
1t is this point which lends most inter
est to the Girls Tomato Clubs which
are being organized here, there and
everywhere just now. The girls have
shown much interest in the Boys Corn
Clubs, some of them even entering into
competition and one in Clarendon coun-
ty, 5. C., actually won prize, but corn
growing is not especially suited to femi-
nine tastes while tomato growing is.
Get the little lass interested in her to-
mato vines and she will soon become
aware that she can raise many things
besides tomatoes. Her garden will fur
nlsh her good healthy exercise no small
training In actual raising of vegetables
and a most practical although simple
glimpse of domestic economics. The
corn clubs are calculated to do much
for the farmers of the next generation:
the tomato clubs will do no less for the
future wives and mothers.

ARE FAIR ELECTIONS DESIRED?

Nearly the entire Democratic press in
Virginia continues to urge that steps be
taken by the party to insure fair pri-
mary elections in the State. There is
no longer denial that the primaries are
crooked and that elections are dishon-
est. Demands for convention to form
ulate platform and policy for the
party and for a legalized primary are
loud and continuous on the part of the
Democratic newspapers and anti-ma-
chine leaders. The machine fellows are
not saying anything but working like
beavers to control the situation when
ever any unavoidable emergency comes.
When the new constitution was pro-
claimed we asserted that under its pro-
visions the necessity for cheating Re-
publicans had been removed and that
the Democratic factions would OCCUPY
themselves with cheating each other.
The unfair election laws embodied in
the constitution precluded all idea of a
purpose to make elections fair and hon.
est in the State. We believe a great
many of our Democratic friends realize
that this IS true, and that a great mis-
take was made when they gave their
sanction to the partisan provisions of
the constitution. They see that the
basis of honest primary laws cannot re
other than honest general election laws.
While we have such unfair general cleo
ton laws the honest Democrats cannot
hope to have fair primaries.
II the gentlemen and newspapers who
gre attempting to reform and regener-
ate the Virginia Democracy and pre-
vent them from cheating each other
v'ill 70 at it in the right way they % i'll
succeed This cannot be done by being
halfway honest. Honest elections and
honest primaries must rest upon the
same foundation. Honest Democrats
must insist that Republicans be treated
fairly if they expect to get the Demo-
Gratis to be honest in their treatment of
each other.
