appear to the eye of the dweller in
more favored spots. As whole
South Dakota will experience brief
check in her progress. 1t will not

In the pioneer days of new country,
when everything is experimental
and resources as scarce as awber-
ries in Japtiary, it is not strange if
man fuses around like q hill of ants
when you pour q pint of kerosene on
their home. But as communities grow
older, they accept any condition with
calmness and courage, and proceed
along the even tenor of their way
perhaps swift and moderate as the
condition warrants but with never
thought of cold feet, or lowering of
real values. For instance, some of
Illinois 5000 land is dry as none. As
. matter of fact the heat and drouth
OF 1911 was as near national in extent
% ever recorded before, and the
