No great business institution will do
that. and neither should the farmers
elevator companies. We have in North
Dakota a small number Of companies
who never pay dividends. Some have
even been forced into bankruptcy:
and their managers are on the way to
the penitentiary. But in every sucn
instance the cause can usually be
traced to the fact that the managers

Have your managers books Audited

will surprise you.

city from the surro Inding section of
the state and are held there for a
week pending shipments to Seattle

1t seems certain that Col. Roosevelt
will come to Mitchell to make an adj
dress during the week of the corn pal
ace, September % to %. Advices
were received from the members of
the republican state central committee
that Col. Roosevelt will speak in South
Dakota and that Mitchell had been
selected as the place. Henry F. Coch-
ems, who is in charge of the speaking
tour of Col. Roosevelt, wrote the corn
palace committee that Col. Roosevelt
could be secured for an address dur
ing the corn palace week, and the COM
mittee will take up the matter and
secure a definite date. An invitation
has also been extended to Gov. Wilson,
the democratic nominee, to speak in
that city during the same week.
Fred Clark, a farmer residing north
of Mitchell, met with an accident
which may prove fatal to him. While
walking along Main street he stepped
into a manhole in the sidewalk. He
fell to the bottom of the areaway
beneath the sidewalk and struck the
cement floor on his head. His skull
was fractured at the base.

Thomson has sixty acres in his apple
orchard, and states that he estimates
it will produce approximately 5000

ON THE SUPPRESSION OF NEWS
MATTER

Regarding the matter Of the press
sometimes suppressing news matter,
the Madison Democrat says:
The Democrat suppresses matter;
so does every decent paper. 1t often
listens to the plea Of the broken-heart
ed mother to keep from the public the
sinful fall of a son or daughter. 1t
constantly is protecting character. 1t
has saved from bankruptcy many a
concern by refraining from giving to
the world financial information which
it possessed and it has promoted end
less enterprises to a successful cul-
mination by refraining from the pre-
mature publication of details. 1t has
preserved untold homes from disrup-
ton by the repression of news" Of a
nature not even of court record. The
best of all newspaper men are those
who know what not to publish. Few
homes at one time or other do not con.
tain skeletons" perfectly well known
to the press. Not even the yellowest
of papers tell all they know Of the per-
sons and institutions roundabout
them. Even the severest censors Of
the press are not superior to this
habit. Now it comes from one fam
lily, then from another. Now it is to
conceal scandal, again to hide the
cause of death for the benefit Of physi-
clans or sensitive members of the fam
lily. Rarely for long does a home es-
cape the desire that something per-
tanning to it be not given to the world.
Suppression Of news almost invaria-
bly, results from a desire to favor in
an entirely worthy and ~defensible
manner some individual or institution.
And so, with the respect to other
charges. The press is honest and
conscientious far above the level Of it's
patrons as a whole. 1t has by no
mean reached a stage Of ideality, and
never can; but it's one is high; it
stands as a whole for right measures,
and it's independence of spirit toward
parties and bosses is one of the strik-
ing ~spectacles of the time.

A. C. Zemarck, who lives on a claim
near Kadoka, and who is an advocate
of the COW as the proper method OF
development OF the western half OF
the state, reports his test for the
summer with just an ordinary COW,
with no special pedigree, in the milk
line. The butter production for May
was thirty-ti rec pounds; for June,
thirty-four pounds. Besides, this COW
supplied the family with milk and
cream for the table use. At market
prices this means that the butter pro-
duction from one cow was just about
SO a month, and at that rate the
man who owns a few good milk cows
need never worry about where the
money is to come from to buy gro
ceries for the family.
During the past month the food and

Don't Buy a Car Because Of
Equipment

Yet the HUDSON "37" is as fully
equipped as it is possible to furnish
an automobile.
The custom now of fully equipping
an automobile is liable to cause some
to misjudge values. We can advise
aginst your choosing a motor car be-
cause of its equipment for the very
reason that HUDSON cars are fully
furnished with the best equipment
O~btainable.
But in other cars you nigh, ue de.
ceived as to value. Equipment does
not indicate value.
Furnishing a speedometer, de-
mountable rims, windshield, clock,
cts, or giving a self-starting device,
has no important bearing upon the
character of the car. They are de-
sirable on an automobile but they do
not affect the power, speed or com
fort or the easy riding qualities Of
the car. They have nothing to do
with the stamina of the car. They
do not affect the simplicity of the
design. They do not guarantee the
perfectly operating motor, all of
which are more essential to your
motor car satisfaction than is the
possession of all the equipment that
is put or even the highest priced

Electric Self Cranking- Electrically Lighted
What Should a Good Car Cost?

With the cheapest cars giving the best tquipment one
is liable to be confused as to what price it is necessary to
pay for a good car. The very cheapest cars, of course, are
not to be had at a low price. Brains cost money. Ma
terials are costly. Workmanship is an item that even in
the larger cars makes it impossible to give a quality that
will stand up under all conditions and that will meet every
desire of distinction, finish, luxury and safety. In the
HUDSO "37" is combined all of these features at the
lowest price at which it is possible to furnish them.
See the car. Compare it with any other automobile
you have in mind. Up and down in the scale Of prices,
your conclusion must inevitably be that it has all OF the
features that the costliest car possesses, And yet the
cost is low.

Two kinds of cars on the market
this year, both of which types should
receive your careful consideration.
One has been slowly developed
from the models of years ago. 1t has
been improved as improvements
have been made in motor car design
ing. The valves have been enclosed.
Self-starters have been added; cleo
trio lights included; upholstering
made deeper; probably the wheel
base heightened. But usually the
car is as it was with all of the value
and many of the shortcomings of the
cars of earlier date.
Refinements have been brought to
a high degree in cars of that type.
They give good satisfaction. They
are dependable up to a certain point.
But they lack many of the things
that have been learned in motor a
building because it has been impossi-
Bile to incorporate all of the new
ideas into the design Of other cars.
This New Car Without Such Faults
The other type of car is the one
that has been designed with a defin-
tie purpose Of incorporating only the
good things that have been learned in
