THE STRIKE AND ITS RESULTS


The only result of the Brooklyn troll
ley strike seems TO be heavy financial
loss TO both sides and, Of course. con-
siderable inconvenience to the public.
The managers Of the strike exult over
the fact that the company is losing
money as result Of it. Assuredly 1t is
losing money, but It must have been
prepared TO lose money when ii declined
the demands Of the union leaders and
nrepared 10 face strike. But 50 are
the striking employees losing money.
They are out Of work and with no pros
pect Of regaining their lost places. And
their union is losing money paying the
costs of the strike. And nothing viii be
gained as a result Of all this economic
waste. The strikers apparently have
lost their positions for good. And in
short time nothing will he left of the con-
fiict except. perhaps, iong-draWn-out

Arbor Day.

In harmony with a custom well
esta ablished and now obtaining thro-
ughout the various states of the
Union, 1, r. S. Vessey, Governor of
the state OF South Dakota, do hereby
designate, set apart, and proclaim,
Friday, April 81, 1911, as Arbor day.
and recommend that the people of
South Dakota fittingly observe the
same by the planting of trees, vines
and shrubs, around their homes,
along the roads and highways, and
about the public school and state
buildings.
The evident necessity for the
growth and protection OF trees should
be an incentive to all the people OF
the state to take an interest In the
subject and give it due consideration.
The press, pulpit and schools can
be especially effective in bringing
about the desired results and l urge
upon these several agents the need
| for their co-opers tiOn in establishing
state-wide propaganda, tending to
develop a love of the bea uttful IN
Nature and creating and fostering IN
the minds of our boys and girls de-
| sire for those things which make our
homes more pleasant and attractive.

Death of Mrs. Nathaniel Renner

At the home of her Oldest daughter,
Mrs. Henry B. Feldman, in this city,
accured the death of Fannie Renner
on Friday last at $50 p. m. of COM
plication Of diseases. While her death
has been expected, neverless, 1t came
as great shock to many.
Fannie Soule was born in Harris
burg, Pennsylvania, on July l, 1857,
being the second daughter OF the late
Rev. and Mrs. III. L. Soule. When
about the age of eight years she came
west with her parents who settled
at Mt. Carroll, ILL.,, where she resided
until 1883, coming then to Canton
with her husband On Feb II, 1881
she was united in marriage to Nath-
aniel Renner, and to the union was
born four sons and two daughters, all
of whom with her husband survive
her. Beside her husband and children
three sisters, Mrs. II. o. Berg OF this
city, Mrs. Chas. Marker OF Rockford,
ILL.,, Mrs. Philip Key Of Dixon, ILL.,,
and one brother VIM. Soule OF this
place are also left to mourn her loss.
In April 1907 she went with her nus
band to Holt county Nebr., to reside
on a farm. After going there her
health began to fail and last Decem-
Der she came back to stay with her
daughter in this city where medical
aid could be more easily secured, but
all that mortal and willing hands
could do was of no avail and her stay
with us could no longer be prolonged
for last Friday she went peacefully to
sleep in Jesus, steadfast in her faith
to the last.
Funeral services we're held Tu esday
in the brick church where her father
was pastor SO long. The service was
conducted by the Rev. Buriff OF the
M. e. Church. Many were the friends
who gathered to pay last tribute to
a departed friend. The remains were
laid to rest in Forrest Hill cemetery
besides the bodies of her parents.

COST OF A HOG.
Here's Dakota Farmer Who Says
There is No Profit in Raising
Hogs.

The following communication from
this South Dakota farmer was pub
lished in Wallace's Farmer:
My observation has shown me that
the large majority of farmers do not
know how much it costs to produce a
fat hog. Our city cousin, when he
enters into business venture, has to
consider many financial points. II he
desires to be a .storekeeper, he will
have to erect, or rent, suitable
building in which to place his goods
after buying them. He will consider
the amount Of his investment In
building and stock, and allow for in
terest, taxes, insurance, depreciation
(wear and tear) OF building and goods,
and many other things that will un-
avoidably occur. If at the end of the
year he has taken in enough money
to pay for the goods sold and other
various expense items aud has money
left, this may be regarded as his
profit.
The farmer likewise is In business,
and like his city cousin, should know,
in order to do himself justice. where
he stands. II hog rearing is one of
the branches in his farming business,
then it behooves him to ascertain by
a systematic method whether he Is
raising them at a.proft or loss. Be-
cause he takes load of hogs to mar
ket and brings back handful of
money is no evidence that he has
made profit on that load OF hogs.
To ascertain the facts requires in
quiry somewhat as follows:
Value of bred brood SOW $50 90
Value Of hog house, troughs,
pen, bins for feed, etc. % O0
Value Of corn and other grain
fed up to farrowing time 5 OO
Value of grain fed to sow and
six pigs from narrowing till
weaving time 5 OO
Value of SOW at weanile time 20 0O
Cost of seed and work on half

GREAT TEMPERANCE DEM
0NSTRAT|ON SUNDAY
The COURT ROOM AND COURT HOUSE FILLED LAST SABBATH
EVENING IN PROTEST AGAINST SALOONS

court house ought to make many con-
verts out of the near temperance ad-
vocates. How can any father vote for
saloons who has boys growing up? 1t
| is the boys of the nation that keep
the saloons alive.
Ministers, lawyers, business men,
retired farmers and laboring men
were at the court house, and the DEM
onstration was enough to make IL
cense man awfully sick. There were
a few there.
Judge Clifford and County Attorney
Forrest were the chief speakers, and
! the oration by an Augustana college
student-E. j. Ellefson was mas
terpiece. Judge Clifford spoke Of Can
ton as a temperance town and showed
that our good name and prosperity
came through temperance. The
Judge never appeared to better ad-
vantage and he pounded temperance
truths into the heart of every man
and woman present. Attorney For
rest won praise and glory for his mas
terly presentation OF the cause Of tenn
perance, and his logical demonstra-
tion of why Canton has prospered
without saloons was something that
made license man sick.
Mr.. Jens T. Hansen Of the firm Of
Chraft s. Hansen, discussed the IL
cense question from business, moral
and christian standpoint and he con-
vinced every one present that the IL
censed saloon was a detriment to leg
itimate business, and an enemy OF the
church and leper Ia society. Mr..
Hansen knows what 1t cost our bust-
ness men the last year the saloon was
in Canton, and the business men
want no more saloons to "boom bus
iness,' and as one man put 1t: THE
breweries doomed but our books show
bad debts" That Is just what the
saloon means In Canton.
/ "a City's Crime," an oratiOn BY
Miss Josie Fosse, a student at Angus
tana college, was a beautiful temper
ance picture.
| Rev. Conklin, a pioneer OF early
territorial days, delivered the invo-
cation after the opening remarks by
chairman Knudson, Rev. Tetlie OF
the Lutheran church, Rev. Burif OF
the Methodist church, and Rev.
Oxley of the Congregational church
took part in the great christian pro-
test against saloons. The Augustana
College Choir, the Schubert Male
Quartet, and the magnificent voice Of
Miss Stella Sogn filed the courtroom
with music that made the heart glad
and the very air seemed charged
with melody that sounded like q
Temperance victory. The singers
were superb, and when that great
audience sang
"Onward, Christian Soldiers!
Marching as to war,
With the Cross of Jesus
Going on before,
License was doomed In Canton.

The above does not tell the whole
story, for no allowance was made for
probable loss, which ought to be
reckoned at about per cent; per
cent. of 800 is S4. so. This would wipe
out the above profit and the hogs
would be produced at loss. have
seen farmers lose SO per cent. of their
fat hogs by cholera. Fat hogs are
often lost in transit to market. Hogs
are sometimes smothered by overlay-
Ing, and often sows lay down their
life In farrowing. The above SOW and
six pigs required strict attention for
over year. 1t required fully one
half hour per day to feed and care for
them. have not mentioned the slop
and SKINNED milk that sow and pigs
got. but this is the farmers pleasure.
Let us be fair about this hog busi-
ness. Let's stop our Dragging. Re
member we use a two-edged sword
which Invariably cuts us. Packers
like to hear farmers brag about their
big profits in raising hogs. 1t is a
good excuse for them to lower prices.
