IT SHOULD Be STOPPED
WHOLESALE ROBBING OF
FRUIT TREES IN CITY
LIMBS BROKEN FROM TREES
Owners of Fruit Trees in City
Near the Place Where They
Will Start Criminal Pro-
ceedings Against the
Rank Despoilers

1t has been an up hill road which
all of the property owners of the
county have travelled to get a few
fruit trees and to make them flourish
and produce. Last spring many of cur
merchants who have few fruit trees
for which they have spent money and
whole lot of time-came in with the
complaint that while the little trees
were in blossom the gatherers of bou-
quets and lovers of flowers were strip
ping thestrees of limbs to crafty their
desire to get few apple, cherry and
plumb blossoms.
Now that the fruit has commenced to
get ripe some folks-they are not all
children-are visiting the yards where
there is some fruit and in their haste
to get away, are not only stealing the
fruit but by breaking off the branches
and destroying the trees. The owners
are very much inceensed and justly so.
Time, money and lot of work are
thus destroyed. Some of the perpetra-
tors of the outsages are known and if
thery are detected again in such stunts
can expect the full penalty of the law
in such cases.
There are other residents of the city
who have become so angry after look
ing at the work of destruction wrought
among their little trees, are prepared
to hand anyone they see pulling off
limbs or fruit dose of salt from the
barrels of shot gun. We believe a
few applications of the latter remedy
would put an end to all such depreda-
tions and heartily indorse that plan for
the suppression of the destruction of
fruit trees in Webster.

men. We are asking for goodness
instead of graft. We are demanding
a greater sancity in the marriage vow
and the same code of morals for men
as for women.
We might well remember old Father
Abraham, who was called the ''friend
of God" Abraham said to his design
ing relative: LET there be no trouble
between you and me, or between your
herdmen and my herdmen. Now choose
we whatever land you desire and / will
take second choice. Selfish Lot eagerly
grasped the best-those well watered
valleys appealing much to his cupidity,
but his meanness we'll nigh proved his
ruin, while honest Abraham, left only
rocks and hills, was wonderfully pros
pered. Lofty purposes are like angels
wings lifting US out of carnality into
our better selves. They inspire us to
tender sympathies and kindly ministra-
tons; they give bent to life; they free
the pent up activities of heart and
mind and send them forth to bless the
world.
Motive counts; dupiicity never gained
the day
Permanently. All heaven conspires
against
The man who courts baseborn designs.
Thus noble purpose brings kindlier
ray
Across our desert landscape. Inspiring
dormant minds,
And lighting up the path that leads
To victory.

Cheap Threshing

For many years past Joe Carr has
owned threshing rig and during the
prosperous seasons always had all he
could do threshing for his neighbors.
This year, when their grain is exceed
ingly poor, Joe has made what we con-
slider most favorable and unselfsh
proposition to his neighbors and former
patrons. He asks that he and his son
be paid about half the price usually
paid experts to run the engine and sep
arator and he will furnish the machinery
and do the work; the owner of the
grain to get the other help and the
fuel. Looks as though that was meet
ing them more than half way and max
ing the threshing of poor crop posi-
BILE if not profitable.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO
BRING WITH YOU?
WILL YOU ENTER THE RACES
If You Have Exhibits get Them
in Early. Let the Manage
ment Know as Early as
Possib1e-fOr Race or
Sport Entries see
the Secretary

AS the time for the Day County
Agricultural Fair draws close at hand,
September 9Th, 7th and 9Th, we would
impress it upon those who intend to
have exhibits of any kind, that they
can very much facilitate matters by
notifying the superintendent of the
division. of what they have to exhibit
in this manner the listing can ,be all
rpractically complete before the fair is
Fopened.
The owners of horses, which are for
EMERY in the races, and young men
who will enter the sporting contests,
those who will enter the novelty races
should see the secretary of the fair a
couple of days before the event in
which they expect to enter so as to
insure that their names will be upon
the program.
The management has this week
received the assurance from Pierpont
and the Pierpont band, of seventeen
pieces can be secured for the occasion.
There have been several splendid fair
attractions secured from the east and
the present management promises us
the best fair we have ever had.
Now, Mr.. Farmer, we want to tell
you something, Day county is the best
county in South Dakota, and South
Dakota is the best state in the Uuited
States and the United States is the
best country in the world. We need
your exhibits at the county fair; we
will take them to the state fair; at the
close of the state fair they will form an
exhibit in the Milwaukee Railway Co. s
car which will traverse the whole con-
tinent.
In addition to the pleasure afforded
B looking over the exhibits of stock,
poultry, fruits; grasses, fancy work,
ETC., the management has arranged a
fine program which will be found on
another page of this issue.
