Describes Irrigation Of Land in Its
Territory.-Land for Thousands

CLAIMED by irrigation in the North

for hundreds of thousands of set
tiers. Both government and pri-
vate projects, and the, work they
are doing in the territory adjacent
to the lines Of. the Northern Paci-
fic Railway are described and
illustrated is an attractive and
we'll written folder Just issued by
that Company.
IS c. J Blanchard of the u. S.
Reclamation Service is the author
of that part of the folder which
deals with government projects,
and he says: .
Irrigation canals representing an
investment of $50 million dollars,
and long enough to girdle the globe
with triple bands have spread GASES
of green in sixteen arid states and
territories. An annual har We It
valued at not less than ESQ million
dollars is the deserts response to
the intelligent application of water
to her sun-burned valleys. Practic-
ally all of this stupendous miracle
has been wrought within the past
quarter of century, and a large
part of it by individual enterprise.
The Great American Desert no
longer calls up vision of isolation
and horror. With the western
march of settlers its boundaries
have shrunken. Railroads have
thrust its barriers outside. Its flow
ing streams and it's underground
waters are being measured and
studied, and we are beginning to
grasp family little of its potential
greatness. Conservative engineers,
on the basis of our present knowl-
edge, estimate that not less than
thirty million acres are yet reclaim
able by water from the streams
which drain it.
Remembering that our greatest
present need is to provide homes in
the land for our rapidly increasing
population, that the stability of the
Nation depends upon our ability to
make such provisions, who can meas
.ure the Importance of the desert and
its reclamation"
That every man, woman and child
in the United States is vitality in
terested in the work of irrigation is
an evident fact. Those who have but
q limited knowledge of what irriga-
ton has done and is doing, will
welcome the information which this
folder contains, as will also those
who,are of mind to seek home
in the Great Northwest where such
marked success is being met with
Ibythose whoare todaydeveloping the
irrigated farms and orchards.

In dress. as in other things, the
Importance OF the attention to little
things is essential II this be given.
the big effect will take care Of Itself.
A gown. hat or wrap can be raised
from a plane OF medioerity to that OF
distinction by the introduction OF
little details OF ornamentation that
are decidedly successful in the at.
atinment OF that end. yet are within
the reach o, most fingers.
A hat that IN Itself is the duplicate
of hundreds OF others can be treated
10 peculiar binding or an unusual
adjustment OF ornaments. The bind
ing. by the way. offers wide field for
differentiation from the usual Fat
velvet facing. Fringe in silken or
linen forms Is distinctive. II used as
an edging for the turDed-down rim.
SIX or velvet can be pulled or
shirFed over the edge. while a rose
quilting is the newest trimming for
that part OF the hat
In dress the details are extremely
important. What Is the use OF
bothering about these little things?'
many home dressmaKers protest. 1t
is just this attention 10 the details
that the French have so thoroughly
mastered that stamp a model as good
or Indifferent.
Little plaitings that are for the
most part hidden. applications OF tiny
buttons or narrow braid. hidden
bands OF color under lace and the
wonderful attention to hooks. loops
and buttons at all fastenings are the
factors that produce a successful
whole.
Last of all. let there be paid a care
ful attention TO the accessories with
which woman adorns herself. With
blue dress wear blue pins and rings.
With red dress use the jewelry that
best harmonizes with the shade
Black and white are more friendly to
the Jewel casket. but the rule of one
color scheme is the best to be OBJ
served.

ADVOCATE COMMISSION PLAN
Prominent Business Men AdvO-
cate a Change in The Sys-
tenn of City Government.

For some time there has been con-
siderable talk of adopting the commits
sion plan of city government in Web
ster, and we understand that apetition
will be circulated in the near future to
bring the proposition to vote. Mayor
Harris is warm advocate of the COM
mission plan, and in recent interview
he set forth the following advantages
which the commission plan possesses
over our present system of city govern
ment:
Complete elimination of partizan pol,
itics from city affairs, both in the nam
ing of commissioners and in the appoint
ing of subordinates.
Elimination of ward lines and ward
politics, making each commissioner 8
representative of the city at large.
Placing responsibility directly where
it belongs and can be located.
Commissioners have charge of depart
ments and are held responsible for the
actions of subordinates.
Increased speed in transacting bust
ness and doing away with slow commit.
tees.
More efficiency in all departments.
Chance to remove unfaithful or in
competent officials by means Of the
recall.
Management of city's financial affair.
like business house or bank.
A number of South Dakota cite!
have adopted the commission form o.
city government and have found it sat
factory. We believe it is proposition
which will be to the interests of on
business men to inquire into.

BUYS TUTHILL LUMBER YARD
chase The Tuthili Lumber
Yard In This City.

Many of our readers will be pleased
to learn that w. II. Chard has decided
to remain in Webster, and to this end
has closed a deal by which the w. H.
Chard Lumber Co., of which he is the
manager, bought the stock, business
and good will of the John w. Tuthill
Lumber Co. in this city.
Mr.. Chard has the reputation, justly
earned, of being one of the best lum-
bermen in this part of the state, and
with his energy, thorough business
methods, long experience and large
acquaintance in Webster and Day
county, the new firm cannot fail to
meet with success. The business men
of Webster will be glad to again well
come Mr.. Chard to Webster business
circles, for in so doing the best inter-
ests of Webster will acquire another
energetic booster.
We are informed that Henry Wag-
ner, the present efficient manager for
the Tuthill company, who has handled
the business for the past two years,
gees to the Tuthill Lumber Co.'S. gen.
eral office at Sioux Falls. This is a
promotion and clearly demonstrates
that Henry has made good. He is a
young man of exemplary habits and
fine business qualifications, and has
grown to manhood in this city. His
many friends, while regretting his
departure, wish him success, and those
most Intimately acquainted with him as
a boy and later as man rest assured
that Henry will make good.
