TOWN GROWTH.

There are two ways in which bust
ness men and property owners can
become more prosperous.
The first method is by pushing at
their own business with all their
might. That is always necessary.
The second method is by so uniting
with other merchants to make their
town grow, that all existing property
owners and business plants become
more prosperous. through the growing
value Of real estate and the growing
volume Of trade that results from a
larger population.
Both these methods OF expansion
are needful. The men who adopt the
first method only soon find that they
are up against a blank wall. They
find that there is only about so much
trade in a town. They may get some
Of it away from their less hustling
neighbors. But when these neighbors
wake up and see their trade dwind-
ling. II they make special inducements
and show good judgment in adver.
Using they get their old customers
back.
The general pull for town better.
ment permits every business man TO
grow without trenching on his neigh
boris business. Thus il avoids those
bitter rivalries that occur whore re-
tail traders are scramblinC for the
same customers without effort to ere

share alike.
The business OF chasing new indus.
tries is a discouraEing one Most Of
tho propositions in the market are
from professional foaters. who are
looking for bonus stock subscriptions
and free rentals. There is. however.
constant percentage Of hopeful
propositions always looking FOR little
assistance Bright and competent
young men are always looking for op-
portunities. Often they need aid We
can attract such men 90 this commun.

A GREAT PUBLIC WORK.

Early in June the Belle Fourche
dam in South Dakota will be com
pleted. This wall OF earth is 6,2OO
feet long. with a maximum height OF
lis feet 1t is 20 feet wide at the top,
and 500 feet thick at the base. The
dam encloses a reservoir which when
filed will become the largest lake in
South Dakota, and from II irrigation
canals will supply over 100000 acres
OF agricultural lands. This is the kind
OF reclamation and conservation work
that the United States government is
engaged in in the west 1t is a prac-
teal demonstration OF the power OF
concerted action for the public good.
No one man. no one community could
have undertaken a project so com
prehensive and gigantic as the Belle
Fourche dam. The national govern
ment has undertaken and finished a
number OF these works in the west.
Such evidences OF farsighted enter
prise and practical craftsmanship are
OF more than mere material value.
They bring the Federal authority
home TO the people. and are the visible
and tangible evidence OF its power and
benefcence

THE CROP OUTLOOK.

Government crop reports Indicate
a winter wheat harvest OF 4s9.325. 900
bushels. This will be a high record
from our winter wheat area. Corn
and spring wheat are enjoying excep-
tiOnally favorable planting conditions.
From every section OF the country the
agricultural outlook is reported 20 be
above the average. with record break
ing prospects ahead. The United
States IS great in manufactures and
great in commerce. but. after all. the
basis OF all wealth is agriculture.
Every year We draw from mother
earth in the form OF fruits. vegetables
and grains the enormous sum OF nine
TO ten billion dollars Most OF this
great wealth is consumed at home. but
much Of IL Is added 20 the accumulated
reserves Of the entire country. Bounti-
ful providence seems disposed this
year TO bestow more than the ordin-
airy measure OF good things upon the
American people. Big crops mean big
business. They mean enterprise. dc.
velopment. the employment ~ labor.
and the activity Of capital. We may
have dull times with good crops. hut
We rarely. Dr. ever have good times
without good crops
