procity agreement.
In his reciprocity speech in Chi

the Canadian parIiment would
have no immediate effect on the
cost OF living.
Members of the house and sen
IGe, however, who favored the
measure, took an opposite view
of the matter, and so declared
themselves. Many people were
allowed TO entertain the idea
mat reciprocity would lower
prices, principally in the big

the politicians.

a few weeks ago when the

his JOY and surprise $50 bushels
of the finest kind of seed came
from the huller. The machine
turned the seed out at the rate
of l6 bushels per hour. Mr..
Stephens estimates that the crop

with Il beautiful stand ready for

eel beets weighing twenty five
pounds each, yielding forty tons

All kinds of garden sass yield
ing as high as 1920 per acre.
Mr.. Millett informed us that the
total cost Of the water per acre
was - or less. 1t safe bet
that there are a dozen irrigation
enthusiasts in Philip today.
After driving with us around
the city, or anywhere we wanted
to 90 until s p. H., we were then
taken to the Huston House, where
covers were laid for eighty men
no women allowed because they
didn t smoke. If some of our
Iowa friends who imagine there J.,

Dakota had even been permitted
to get a look-in on that table
they would have changed their
minds at once. To describe it
would be impossible. Ask Ed
Morrison; he knows.
After discussing this most eX-
crllcnt feed for an hour or 50,
DR.. Lavery called the meeting to
order. and introduced Mr.. Dtcts.
head Of the South Dakota immi-
grafton bureau, who gave us a
good all around talk on the i'm
proVemcnt and the necessity of
advertising Stanley county. He
was followed by Attorney j. II.
johnson, who spoke on the advis-
ability of state control of irriga-
ton projects, stating just what
ought to be done and what he
proposed to do to obtain such
control. | forget the name of
the next speaker, but remember
a very able speech Oh ''BoOst-
ing. Next came 45-minute
speech on the Importance of
printers ink in developing a
new country, which was followed
by "A short but very able speech
by Mr.. Brown on the greater i'm
portance Of practical advertising
in the form of illustration by ac-
tual production Of the things
that the farms are producing.
Mr.. Millett gave us amazing
statistics of the results of the ir-
rlgated farm. Mr.. Leggett made
some fOrcible remarks along the
line Of getting busy and doing
instead of talking so much.
Philip was heard from through
several of her best statesmen and
kadoka-say, we all admired
Bro. Granger in the neat little
stunt he pulled off for the
Stanley County Fair.
Taken altogether the meeting
was a success, resulting in a
permanent county organization
Tor the purpose Of advancing the
welfare of all the people of Stan

zatlon of the working committee
will be perfected at Kadoka this
week with the object Of Undue
ing each township to use all the
available taxes for road work, in
building dams to serve as road
ways, instead Of bridges and cul-
verts, and to encourage individ-
uals to put in dams for them
selves. Each township is allow
ed ten per cent Of it's taxes for
road work and each county five
per cent, which means fifteen per
cent that can be used this fall.
