heavier parts will be separated from
tho tighter and forced to the bottom
OF the mass. Good concrete is only
obtained when the stones and gravel
remain in contact with the mortar.
1t is not hard to make the forms for
concrete tanks. In fact most any ono
can invent a form of his own. The
amount OF stock to be watered at the
tank must be taken into considera-
ton when the size is planned. II a
rectangular tank is to be used, the
proper dimensions can be determined
by consulting Table IL. >
1t often happens that around stock
tank there Is a mud hole. This can
be easily avoided by making cement
platform around the tank extending
out six feet on all sides.
In making the forms for the tank,
the outside measurements OF the n
side forms should be one inch greater
in both directions than the outside
dimensions of the tank This Is neces-
sary to avoid the possibility of any
part OF the tank being supported by
the floor proper. The outer edge or
the floor should be one inch lower
than the edge surrounding the space
to be occupied by the tank. This pro-
vides drainage for water that is spilled
to be occupied by the tank.
The bill of materials shown above
is for tank ten feet long and six feet
wide. The price Of such tank can
be easily computed by local dealer.

Man Gets a BOUQUET.

One fosgy morning recently Lacka-

a tug. No great damage was done, but
for few moments considerable ex-
element prevailed among the COM
muters. One woman in particular rush

letic young man restrained her, assur-
ing her there was no danger. At length
she was sufficiently calmed to speak,
and then, clinging to her preserver's
arm, she gasped: "You know, I'm a
spinster and suffragette, but there
certainly are times when a man is a

Figures T.ken From the Owosso

A few facts for every thinking man
to consider before Answering the ques-

In Owosso City Police Court from
May 1, 1908. to Feb %. 1910, with open
saloons, 1913 men were arrested for
drunkenness and fine and costs were
assessed against these poor victims of
the saloon amounting to $7ll.05. We
won't speak of the many hours these
unfortunates spent in jail-we may

COMPARE ABOVE WITH THIS.
In the same court from May /, 1910
to Feb. 20. 1919 with saloons closed SO
men were arrested for drunkenness. and
fines and costs amounting to $4l5 65
were assessed.

and drunkenness when you voted the

all pointing In this same direction will

Douglas, where he has resided for
thirty years, is shown by the large

petitions for the present campaign
appear the signatures of more than
four hundred OF the republican voters

EGAN FOR GOVERNOR

1t is, indeed, gratifying to the writer,
to note the manner in which the news:
papers Of the state are rallying to the
support of the Hon. Geo. w. Egan,s OF
Sioux Falls, for Governor. This graf
flying support is not confined to news-
papers alone, either, but buslenss and
professional men all over the state
are publicly announcing their attitude
toward Mr.. Egan's candidacy That
he will be the next governor of South
Dakota Is no longer question of
doubt in the minds Of the people of
this locality. Every man seems to be
an enthusiastic admirer Of Mr.. Egan,s
principles, and they are only waiting
for an opportunity to demonstrate
their confidence in him at the polls.
Mr.. Egan's political career in South
Dakota has not been embellished al.
together with roses. Not much! Pol.
itics deprived him Of business and
raised havoc with his pocketbook, but
during this time his friends have been
growing In numbers until today they,
indeed. represent d mighty army.
These same friends are going to ex-
press themselves al the polls ere long,
and we believe that Mr.. Egan Will
receive the largest majority ever given
q republican candidate IN the state.
He IS at the present time touring the
various parts OF the state that he was
unable to visit during the last cam
paign, and Judging from the Favorable
reports that come from each section

From reading the newspapers of
South Dakota, one is almost led TO
believe that Geo. w. Egan is the only
candidate for the nomination of gov
ernor. Nearly every newspaper has
something nice to say about Mr.. Egan,
and few are very enthusiastic over the
efforts of either Gull or Byrne to land
the nomination. There are a few pie
eaters who are still hollering for
Byrne, but their reasons are generally
understood and what they say has
little bearing on the situation. 1t is
the whole souled support of most Of
the papers who are fighting for Mr.
Egan that the voters approve and one
little squih In one of these papers is
worth more to Egan than whole

pears in some of the papers of pie
