ONE OF THE BIG COUNTIES TO
BE CUT UP INTO SEVERAL
IS BATTLE-GROUND
Lines may STAND AWHILE
Sharp Rivalry Between the Towns For
County Seat Honors May Do
feat Division Plan For
Several Years

Pierre-While q large majority OF
the people of western Stanley county
appear to be anxious to have that big
county carved into smaller counties,
the fact that too many ambitious
towns are looking for county sea- hon
ors Is likely to leave them for at least
another two years without any change
in boundary lines, and appear to be
willing to allow the westerners to cut
loose if they can agree on where they
want to be. parted. But while division
sentiment appears to be generally rife
in the western half, the sentiment is
not unanimous, as the Midland boom
ers can lot see any possibilities for
themselves in getting into the county
seat game under any division plan
proposed. and have organized to fight
any division plan. The divisionists in
their anxiety to get the kind of divi-
purposes, and while all claim to be
working for division, they are likely
to result in disappointment for all.
The Philip people want the western
half of the county cut off and called
Iowa. This would leave Philip nicely
situated in about the center of the new
county as a live railroad town on the
Northwestern line, and the chances
for county seat honors at the b st.
Down on the Milwaukee line this plan
does not meet with favor, and they
want a county of their own to be call
ed Jackson, which would put Kad oks
in nice location for county seat hon
ors. Up in the northwestern corner,
without a railroad town, but with nu-
merous ambitious pOstoffices they
want sterling county, and the privilege
Of being allowed to fight the county
seat honors out among themselves as
a family row with no outside inter-
ference after they get their county.
And the whole combination is milling
around, each for himself and against
all the others with little apparent
probability Of any division.
Down in Lyman they appear to have
the divis on sentiment pretty well
c~rystalized on the Jones county divl-
sion out of the west end. About t
only apparent opposition comes from
Presho which would be on the di i'ion
line and can't see any chance of coun-
~ seat honors in the plan and Is
A.anding out, but the two ends Of the
county are apparently willing to try
the plan out.
The county Division proposition Is
going to be a live one west Of the
river for several years with such ar e
counties as Perkins, Corson, Dewey,
Meade and Pennington to Slice up,
let alone the result after the vote n
Stonley this year.

r ON SUFFRGE
Federation Of Woman's Clubs Turned
Down Favorable Resolution

Federation Of Woman's Clubs Turned
Down Favorable Resolution
Aberdeen-By a vote of 16 to 20, the
South Dakota Federation of Woman's
Clubs in session in this city refused
to give its official sanction to tho
woman suffrage cause, a resolution
endorsing the pending amendment
to the constitution of the state,
giving women the privilege of the
ballot, bein. rejected by that vote.
1t is only fair to state. however, that
a number of delegates were not in the
convention hall when the question was
brought up. Also, some of the advo-
Gates Of equal suffrage felt the fedora
ton should not be brought into the
campaign as . body. These explana-
lions are given by suffragists who fear
the vote Of the federation will have
al adverse influence on public senti-
ment. and are probably correct. 1t is
known that representatives Of the
South Dakota Equal Suffrage associa-
ton privately urged the delegates not
to attempt to have the federation en-
aoiSO kAO ouAIo6C oAAOhuAlChJ "a
year, but the mor eager ~sufragists,
believing a majority Of the club WON
en want the ballot, insisted upon put
cling the question to a vote.
The convention concluded it's de-
alterations yesterday by electing Of
ficers as follows: President, M IS EN-
ma Hall of Milbank; vice president,
Mrs. Housman of Dell Rapids; CORE
spending secretary, Mrs. Zillah Wilson
Of Aberdeen; recording secretary, Miss
Robinson of Pierre; treasurer, Mrs.
Mona Reeve of Flandreau; auditor,
Mrs. Mary AIKEN of Flandreau; general
federation secretary, Mrs. H. E. Hend-
rick of Sioux Falls; eastern division
correspondent, Mrs. Belle Butterfield
of Mitchell; western division corre-
spondent, Mrs. Claribel Tillotson of
Lennon.
The convention was one of the most
largely attended in the history Of the
federation, and the sessions were all
very busy ones. Under the cons titu-
ton, none of the retirin goficers could
be reelected, but the work of the Of
ficials was given flattering endorse
ment.

DOCTORS ADVISED OPERATION.
DECIDED TO TRY GREAT

! want to tell you in a few words what
your Swamp-Root did for me, believing
that my testimony may do some other suf-

About SIX years ago, I was dangerously
III, consulted three doctors, all Of whom
said l had kidney trouble. One of the
doctors analysed my urine and reported
that | had gravel, and further said that
IN order to regain my health and life, an
operation would be necessary. I did not
want to be operated on as I was afraid
that l would not recover. Someone told
we Of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root and said
It was q reliable medicine for kidney
trouble 20 I decided to try it and went
to Mr.. Rose, the druggist, at 800 Central
Ave. Minneapolis, and bought a bottle,
o it, noticed results and continued
taking it until ! was entirely cured.
Having been free from any kidney
trouble for over six years, I consider that
an absolutely cured and know that
6wamp-Root has the credit.
I never fail to tell my friends about
your remedy, as I believe it is the best Of
its kind. Your U l. 0 Ointment is also
very good. We are never without q jar

Reconstruction,

II heard a tale the other day of a
postponing chap, who thought he'd
buy a wheel so gay, but-They will be
cheaper, perhaps And so he dallied
year by year, the cheapest wheel to
buy; but long before the cheapest
gear, that zap he had to die! And SO,
by putting off the day, we miss the
wine of life; and some there are in
Just that way who thus will miss a
wife! Get busy now, you timid swain,
procrastinate no more, for time is
surely on the wane, and you a bache-
lor! Some wait too long to make a
pick of husbands or of wife, and then
some take a broken stick and make a
mess of life."-H. B. Benedict, in

The state will surrender all these Sec

like amount of land to the state, and
each will handle it's own timber In a
compact body without in any way
clashing as to authority or powers.

THE FIRST TASTE
Learned to Drink Coffee When a Baby

II parents realized the fact that cof-
fee contains a drug-cdfeine-which Is
especially harmful to children, they
would doubtless hesitate before giving
the babies coffee to drink.
when l was q child in my moth

things at the table, mother used to
give me sips Of coffee. As my parents
used coffee exclusively At meals l
never knew there was anything to
drink but coffee and water.
And so l contracted the coffee
habit early. ! remember when quite
young the continual use of coffee so
affected. my parents that they tried
roasting wheat and barley, then
ground it in the cofee-mill. - . sub

But it did not taste right and they
went back to coffee again. That was
long before Postum was ever heard
Of. I continued to use coffee until l
was 81, and when / got into once
work, I began to have nervous spells.
Especially after breakfast I was 50
nervous ! could scarcely attend to my
correspondence.
"At night, after having coffee for
supper, l could hardly sleep, and on
rising in the morning would feel weak
and nervous.
"A friend persuaded mo to try
Postum. My wife and I did not like
It at first, but later when boiled good
and strong it was fine. Now we would
not give up Postum for the best coffee
we ever tasted.
