Two More Fires.

The saying of the wise ones
tnat we usually have three fires
Ia succession here and that the
third fire would bring an end to
the ire alarms Tor time ut least
did not prove itself during the
past week, as two fires have fol
lowed the first two IN quick sue
cesslOn.
An alarm was sent in from the
A. A Chapman home Thursday
night of last week, and early Sun
day morning barn on the A. E
Hawes property in the rear of
the public library was burned.
The Chapman fire occurred
about nine clock in the evening,
and it is supposed was started
by oIe Of the family using a
match in a clothes closet on the
upper floor of the building. The
tire was extlnguished by the
bucket brigade before the hose
cart could be got 10 the house,
but not before the greater part
of the furniture hod been remov-
ed from the building, but consid
cradle damage was done to the
upper part of the house and all
the clothing and some furniture
in the rooms where the fire start
ed Vas destroyed. There was
insurance to cover the loss on
the building but not on the cloth
ing burned.
The burning Of the Halves
barn occurred about 2:3O Sunday
morning, and the building was
in a plaze when discovered.
There was but little wind, how
ever, and the fire department
did some very quick work IN get
ting on the ground, and soon had
the blaze under control. Had
there been heavy wind this fire
might nave proved a disastrous
one. The barn was used as a
storehouse for unused things,
and these with the building were
a total loss. Fhe barn was in
sured to cover loss in the Phila-
delphia Underwriters.

Sub Soil ploW.

! An exhibition of the work OF
the Queen City Sub-soil Plow
was recently given at The farm
of Kenneth Ackerman, south Of
town, and a large mum Der OF
farmers being present consider
able interest was manifested and
desire has been expressed by
many of these to do some sub.
soiling. The price Of the pillow
is SO. Anyone wishing to get
one Of these plows can do so by
seeing Mr.. w. G.. Ackerman, or
dropping him postal card. The
sub, soil plow is likely to prove d
wonderful help in conserving
moisture in the ground and thus
prove a great blessing to Dako-
ia.
On this subsoiling proposition
one of the agricultural writer's
says: One lesson nature pre-
sents every year and insists on
its being learned is that since
moisture is necessary for the
growth Of plants, it is possible
for the farmer, by right cultural
methods, TO conserve sufficient
moisture supple for the ordina
ry summer crop even without
the summer shower. In many
parts Of the country the past
season, like the two preceding
years, there was a deficiency in
rain fall and many farmers placed
the responsibility for poor crops
upon Providence, not noticing
that the same Providence dealt
lavishly with the neighbor across
the way.
The observing neighbOr had
learned years ago that a soil well
tiled with humus, plowed deep,
thoroughly and continuously cul-
tivated would retain moisture
through long dry season and
produce crop.
The proper preparation of the
seed bed Is the fundamental
step in all successful far ming;
European farmers have recog
nized the important part it plays
in the production of their lands; !;
hence, have become renowned
for their excellent system and
the consequent heavy yields.
Some parts of America have
adopted the European system Of
a more thorough preparation,
but it has not become general in
any sections of this country.

Shall W. Show Them
Big stone Headlights:

Big stone HeAollsht:
The Headlight man has seen
the most of South Dakota. He has
been in every county in the state
but two or three, and he believes
that Grant county is, if not the
best county in the state, at least
one of the best four or five coun-
ties speaking from a strictly
agricultural point of view. Now
if we add to our agricultural re-
sources our manufacturing
plants, our magnificent scenery
from the range Of coteaus in the
west, cut by a hundred wooded
ravines and spring brooks, to the
magnificent sheet of blue water,
dotted with forest covered
islands, that form a part of our
eastern boundary, we have the
finest county for homes there is
on the western prairies. Who
knows about this? Not we who
live here, for without having seen
much of the rest of the state we
take our blessings for granted
and do not appreciate them as we
ought to. Not residents of other
portions of the state, for no effort
has ever been made to show them
what we have. The fact is that
very few people know that Grant
county is half as good a county
as it really is.
The South Dakota state fair
will be held at Huron this year
as usual 1t has never received
much attention from Grant
county in thepast because except
from the south part of the county
it is rather difficult to reach, and
most of our people have gone to
the Minnesota fair because it is
more convenient.
The South Dakota Fair Asso-
citation is on it's mettle this year.
Poor crops in a large part of the
state will interfere with the ex-
cellent agricultural exhibit.
Would it not be a splendid time
for Grant County to show a little
state pride and step in and help
to hold the reputation of the
state? You know it would, and
the only thing that lies in the way
is the fact that we are all too
busy to attend to it.
Our idea of the proper proce-
dure would be to raise $1,000, by
subscription, at once, and to put
up a small building on the fair
ground, to bea permanent Grant
County building. We believe,
from a little experience Of our
own in building this summer,
that a suitable building with
brick walls, concrete floor, and
with such cement brick and
granite trimming as may be de-
cided upon, can be built for about
$500. This would give the Mil
