A Simple Way To
Reduce Wrinkles
(From The Home Maker)

Bear In mind that wrinkles. as well
as bagginess Of cheek or chin, arc due
to the muscular tissue losing its
strength and shrinking. rhe skin Is
then too large in area to fit such tissue
smoothly. 1t wrinkles or sags.
To remedy this condition there's moth.
ing so effective. so quick-acting. as a
simple wash lotion you can easily make
at home. Get an ounce of powdered
ssxoIite at your druggists, ard hall
pint witch hazel. mix the two and battle
your face in the liquid. This treatment
at once tightens the skin and sol;dihes
the underlying tissue-which, of course
smoothes out the lines and draws in the
saggipg skin. 1t also stimulates circu-
lation. bringing natural color to faded
cheeks

How English Beauties
Peel Their Faces
CFrom Society WORLDLY

while abroad recently I could not
help observing that the average Eng
lishwoman's complexion is far more
beautiful than that of the average wo-
man of our country" says Mrs. Scott,
secretary of the National Health-Cul-
ture Society. Making inquiries. sew
eral intimate friends in London confided
to me that they regularly used on their
faces what Is commercially known as
mercolized wax. ! do not know whether
the habit is general there. but I do
know that this wax has wonderful reiu-
'venating properties, for I've tried 1t my
self.
IF you will get an ounce Of this mer-
colized wax at your drug store and ap-
ply 1t like cold cream. you will soon be-
hold in your glowing cheeks their first
resemblance to the remarkable trans
parent beauty of the Englishwoman's
complexion. This wax gradually peels
off the lifeless scarf skin In tiny, al
most imperceptible flakes, revealing the
fresh new skin underneath, pinky white,
with the bloom Of youth and health"

ABOUT THE IMMIGRANT

Robert Watchorn, formerly immi-
grafton officer at New York, says:
''There is a smaller proportion of
foreign born population in the United
States at this hour than there was
when Lincoln called for troops to
defend the flag and save the union. "
You see, we have been growing
some at home in the last 80 years.
Mr.. Watchorn defends the class of
immigrants we are getting, too cit
is a glorious golden stream that
breaks upon our Shores" he says.
And that's quite poem.
Well, we have room for new citi-
zens in this broad land, and in the
great days ahead they may come as
near voting for human progress as
most of the native stock.

THE OPPORTUNITY OF THE
NORTHWEST

AT last the states of the northwest
have awakened to the need of vigor-
Gus campaign for settlers and new en-
terprises.
South Dakota took it's forward step
when 1T established the bureau of inn
migration and now there is another
splendid movement under way in the as
sociation of seven of the northwest
states in the land show project to be
held this winter in st. Paul.
AS feeder for this it is now propos-
ed to send special train holding the
governors of all the states throughout
the east and by means of this unique
agency spread the gospel of opportuni-
ty which awaits the man and woman in
the vast empire stretching two thou
sand miles west through the Missouri
valley to the coast.
South Dakota is prominent in this
movement as it should be because it's
doors are wide and its fields await the
canning of thousands. There is room
for all and the faster they come the
better for all.
The movement is destined to be the
greatest exploitation event in the his
tory of the country if present plans are
carried out. 1t is proposed to present
the varied agricultural possibilities Of a
territory which is the richest on the
face of the globe.
During the past ten years consular
reports tell us that 2, 900, 900 immigrants
have settled upon Canadian farms. Of
this vast number $50, 600 of these farm
ers have come from the United States.
Think what wonderful development it
would mean for South Dakota and the
other states to receive two million new
settlers in the next decade. Almost
any amonnt of effort now would be
worth the reward.
Men who profess to know declare
that the tide of immigration to the ag-
ricultural regions of this western cour-
try has just commenced. They say
that the future holds as great pros
poets for activity as the past ever did
and the movement now under way in
| this state and it's sister commonwealths
seems destined to mark the beginning
| of an era of mightier growth through
out the entire northwest.

which their property is assessed.

STRIKE, BUT HEAR

Woodrow Wilson will likely be the
democratic nominee for president IN
1912. With such leadership the par
ty is likely to win the confidence and
respect of the country and if the re-
publican party is to remain in con-
troll it is absolutely necessary that it
purge itself of grafters, of bribe-
takers, of politicians who are not
statesmen, and lot of other refuse;
then adopt a policy that is better cal
culated to improve the conditions of
living among the people even if this
means neglect of the welfare of mon
eyed interests, the sacrifice of politi-
cal careers, even temporary defeat. =

THE MITCHELL CORN PALACE

Mitchell's Thirteenth Annual Corn
Belt Exposition this year is schedul-
ed for the week commencing Septem-
Der 25th and closing September soth.
The Corn Palace which is the promi-
nent feature of this exposition is the
only one of its kind in the world, and
serves as a nationwide advertisement
OF the states resources. There are
no finer agricultural exhibits to be
found anywhere. The beautiful de-
signs displayed in the decorations of
the building attract the attention of
all classes from near and far. No
one who has ever had the privilege of
viewing a freshly decorated Corn
lalace can go away without the i'm
preston that he has seen real art
exhibit, a picture in natures own
colors.
Aside from the decorations, there
is given the most wholesome kind of
entertainment. Those who are look
ing for amusement and relaxation
from their daily cares, will find in
the program presented something
that they will fully Appreciate and
which they will not forget for many
a day.
Mitchell prides herself upon tie
continued success of these eXposi-
tions, and just as long as the Corn
Palace is maintained as Mitchell
institution, just so long can the visi-
tor be assured of getting his money s
worth.

TAFT IN DIsFAVoR

Huron, Sept. 8 Referring to Presi-
dent Taft's late speech at Hamilton,
Mass, in which he accused the pro-
gresslve Republicans of playing small
politics, United States Senator Coe I /.
Crawford said:
u think the president has made a
mistake which he will regret in
charging the republican nrogressives
with having no higher motive than
small personal politics in cooperat-
ing with the Democrats in the pass
age of the LaFollette woolen bill and
the farmers free list bill. He did
not hesitate to cooperate with the
Democrats in securing the passage OF
the one sided reciprocity measure,
but he accuses us of small politics
because we worked with the same
Democrats to secure some reduction
which would, in measure, offset the
discrimination against the farmers in
the reciprocity bill. ] am a progress
sive Republican and shall stand with
the progressives, no matter whether
I must part company with the presi-
dent, of whom am personally fond
Free trade for the farmer and pro.
lection for the manufacturer cannot
win. 1t is fundamently wrong, and
must not by silence be placed in
the attitude of approving it. Nor dc
want to see the reactionaries who
stand for that principle control the
next Republican convention.

THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK

Just before Taft starts upon his
swing around the western part of the
country on his supreme effort to win
friends for himself and his tariff poll
cies, it is interesting to look over
things politically.
Political aspects change from time
and what is true toda, may not be true
in a week or month However it is
only 10y taking reckoning now and then
that the past is reviewed and a reason
able forecast made upon the future.
Whatever the personal wishes of the
honest observer, the following must be
admitted as facts or as strong probable
ities:
President Taft is now actively laun
ched upen his campaign for renomina
tion and their is little doubt of his sue
cess.
Senator LaFollette is an active can.
didate for the nomination and if any
candidate appears in the convention he
will be the man. 1t is not likely thai
any other will make a serious contest
for the honor.
Taft, when nominated, will have AN
exceedingly difficult campaign with the
issue in considerable doubt.
LaE'ollette, if nominated, could not
be elected because he has alienated a
large section of his party and without
united support of the republicans he
could not hope for victory.
LaFollette has a good-sized following
in South Dakota and an effort is being
made 10 send Il delegation for the sena-
tor to the national convention. There
is a possibility that this may be done
but as the time draws nearer it is like
ly that Taft will become stronger in
this state than he is today.
Taft is placed in an unfortunate posi-
tion for the president to find himself, in
that he is compelled to go before the
people on the defensive His coming
tour is to be devoted to arguments ex-
planning his vetoes and his scientific re-
vision policy. In the northwest he
will sustain the reciprocity treaty and
assail those who refused to cooperate
with him in it's passage.
Altogether the coming campaign
promises to be filed with plenty of ex-
citement. Aberdeen American.

GREAT IRRIGATION PROJECT

A meeting was held in this city on
Wednesday evening of last week which
had for its purpose the taking of pre-
liminary steps toward securing data for
action in irrigation of large part of the
Missouri slope in the central portion Of
the state. The plan contemplates the
use of power which can be generated at
Little Bend, twenty-five miles north of
this city, for pumping, and the throw
ing of water out onto the prairies of
Hughes and Sully counties. The pro-
ject is one which will call for the ex-
penditure of a large sum of money, ard
one of the first steps is considered to be
an investigation of the possibilities by
an engineer who will give the project
standing in the estimation Of capitalists.
To this end committees were appointed
to confer with the boards Of county
commissioners of Hughes and Sully
counties, to ascertain if they are will
ing to assist in providing the means for
securing such such s. survey by competent
surveyors and engineers, of which there
are number in Pierre and Rapid City.
This work .Will take several thousand
dollars, but nothing can be done until
the project is worked out as feasible.
After that there would of course remain
a large amount of detail work before
anything any thing in the way of active constrnc-
tion would be done, but as the plan is
one which offers a good investment, it
will be ttaaiksen Vi, at some time and push
ed to completion, but until the first
moves are made to attract attention
of capital to the plan twill not m0ye,F
and the meeting was for the off
thus attracting attention.
