South Dakota and South Dakota
cities are interested in the forth-com-
ing census because they are anxious
to see how much they have grown in
the last ten years, but the politicians
Of the state are more primarily inter.
ested In knowing whether OF not the
new apportionment will entitle South
Dakota to another representative.
Iowa politicians are also interested in
the census OF that state but there the
question is: will the new apportion-
ment reduce the number of represent
ativeS?

Ole Lier was in Canton Saturday on
business.
The late rains stopped %threshing
operations for a few days.
Andrew Lier and Ole Gorder have
been building a chicken house on the
place Mr.. Lier is farming.
Hegge Brothers have rented all
their land for next year and will take
life easier this coming year and per-
haps will get time to look up a house
keeper.
Mr.. Stubstein delivered a large
bunch of cattle to Mr.. SorenSen the
other day.
Pete Lukken and family passed this
way Sunday, presumably on their way
to call at the liver Lukken and Peter
son places. We haven't seen Pete
Lukkens out this way for a long time.
Pete is OF the safe side in any kind of
weather as he wears a full beard the
year around.
The boys in this part of the country
are not very we'll trained in handling
an ak as was demonstrated Saturday.
Lee Larson was 10 hold a stick while
his brother Odin was to chop the end
off. Odin missed the stick and
chopped Master Lees finger cutting
through the fleshy part on n side Of
the fore6nger of the right hand. If
the ak had been n quarter of an
inch broader Master Lee would have
been minus n finger but as it is, it
is hoped the wounded parts will heal
and be all right in time.
The weather has been very change
able and unsettled out here Of late
and we will bet a nickle's worth Of
peanuts that someone got wet Sun
day.
Hunting has been poor this fall and
the nimrods have saved lots of foot
wear.
Quite a number of the young folks
attended the pony and monkey show
In Lennox Saturday evening.

to go and we will see to it that you
have good company. If there Is no
other way out of it we will go our

The cause OF the suffragettes is
making much progress In Norway,
where the storthing or congress, has
passed the bill extending to women
the right OF suffrage in communal az
fairs. While this right, so far, is only
permitted women who possess a GER
tain income, it is regarded by SUI
fragettes as good evidence of the suc-
cess of their cause, for 1t adds $50, 900
to the country, giving a majority Of
1900 over males. Parker New Era

MI. Burke and Mr.. Martin may
have stood shoulder to shoulder in
the weighty matters Of helping the
"Interests" skin the people but Mr.,
Martin believes in the good old motto;
when In Rome do as Romans do
while Mr.. Burke believes in playing
for all or nothing. It's a strange
game that both play but MI. Martin
seems to see rocks ahead and has
jammed his rudder in q new direction.

GOV. vEssEY VERY POPULAR.

Gov. Veasey grows In popular favor
0very day, and no oficial in the
history Of the state has 80 thoroughly
won the confidence Of the people. He
= built on broad lines and meets con.

He stands for economy In state affairs
but has no use for the fellows who
would cripple state institutions and
Cause the u~nfortunates to suffer for
lack Of support. Gov. Vessey has .
big heart and . clear eye that looks
upon the human side of all problems
that come before him for adjusoment,
and his heart beats In sympathy for
the sick, suffering and unfortunate.
Whom the opposition were bowling
about extravagance in state affairs his
answer was no unfortunates in our
stlte institutions will ever suffer for
the lack Of care or sufficient nourish-
ment while I am governor. The
howl of extravagance was put out to
win the farmers away from him but
the farmers and the people generally
rallied to his support like veteran
soldiers, because they had hearts that
beat IN aympathy for the unfortu-
mates. They saw through the cum
ming, cowardly assault and answered
like patriots.
No man ever fought for position
under more unfavorable conditions.
Elrod and Egan were assaulting him
on oil aides and the state committee

change, we were told By the Sun yes
terday, showed scant Improvement on
Friday Some of the brokers attri-
buted the small demand for bonds to
the influence OF the Digges disfranchis-
ing bill. These say investors are timid
from the fear of the influence of the
measure in the South should 1t become
law and afterward BIO nullifled by the
Supreme Court" Then this illuminat-
ing statement is volunteered by the
Sun reporter:
TT is admitted that 1t may be long
time before the measure will reach the
final court, but bond investments are
usually for long periods, and local Sc
curities, as we'll as those in the South,
are looked at askanco at the moment
In the circumstances, It would be
we'll for the little and big fish to stay
out of Baltimore waters for the pre-
sent, as some OF them are sure to be
caught on one side or the other of the
market. 1t Is utter nonsense to say
that purely local or State measure in
Maryland. which some persons think
cannot succeed. will affect financial
conditions In other Southern States.
which will be in no way Influenced by
it. If the Digges plan should be adopt
ed and the Supreme Court should hold
that 1t Is unconstitutional. manifestlJ
tho decision OF the Court would not at
feet the conditions In other States.
The Baltimore brokers probably know
this and the people will realize 1t up
on a little reflection.
