SUSPICIOUS

Iroquois Chief: The editor of the
DeSmet Independent has purchased
an automobile. This writer does not
want to accuse brother publisher of
any wrong DUNG without sufficient
evidence to convict, but this is a
mighty suspicious circumstance. I'm
der the law man does not have to
give evidence that would incriminate
himself and for that reason the &C.
cused cannot be forced on to the wit
ness stand. But just the same the
public will point an accusing finger at
him until he gives some satisfactory
explanation of where he got the
money.

TO ADVERTISE SOUTH DAKOTA

A campaign in which South Dakota
is to be generously advertised has
been inaugurated at White Owl. in
the western part of the state, by the
South Dakota Development league.
This league is sending out an UNI
limited number of booklets that con-
tain hundred good reasons why peo-
pie should come to South Dakota, be-
sides some convincing remarks by
Governor Vessey and Ex-Governor
Erred
The league has adopted the endless
chain plan, giving to every interested
Dakotan an opportunity to participate
in the boost for a million population.
1t is distributing it's pamphlets with
the letters it writes and is asking the
recipient to place an order for five
more pamphlets, enclosing IS cents,
and to write few letters of the same
sort to acquaintance within the
state.
The five pamphlets received can be
mailed by the recipient to persons in
other states and they will receive the
hundred reasons why they shonld To-
cate i'll South Dakota and become per-
manent residents of the state. Some
of them will come, not being able to
resist the reasons why they should.
This is an advertising plan that
will win and will finance itself as it
gees along It is not heegt fer any
particular portion Of the state, or in
the interest Of any private portion of
the state, or in the interest of any
private intention. 1t gives all the
people Of the state chance to help
populate the vacant places at nomin-
al individual expense.
The plan adopted by the South Da-
kota Development league of White
Owl will become popular.

One OF the strange facts about the
Everglades region Of Florida is that II

crest Is formed Of massive limestone,
usually covered by a mantle OF sand
In this formation are numberless pot.
holes. which vary In size from a few
feet to thousands Of acres; also count
less lakes Of fresh water, springs and
frequent subterranean streams and
pools.
A few miles north Of Cape Sable is
an outcrop OF limestone which projects
70 Lake Okeechobee. In this outcrop
is an extensive shallow basin extend
ing 1870 miles north and south and
about 10 miles east and west, while
the altitude Of its rim Is IL feet above
mean leve' low tide in Biscayne bay
and little less above the Gulf Of Mex
leo
As result OF the weather and flow
ing water the rim has been worn into
fantastic shapes The depth Of the
basin varies from one foot at the rim
to twelve feet in places, but generally
the rock floor is from a depth Of one
to six feet And there Is the secret
