ALFALFA GETS THE DOLLARS

South Dakota owes a heavy debt of
gratitude to Dan Bierwagen, the
states alfalfa king. Dan has made q
fortune growing alfalfa west of the
Missouri. Through patient and tire
less experimentation he has evolved
the science of alfalfa culture as it
should be done in South Dakota. es-
pecially in the dry belt. Those who
follow in Mr.. Bierwagen's foot steps,
using his methods. are sure to be sue
cessful. It is said that many acres
are being planted to alfalfa this year,
west of theriver. This portends we'll
for the future agriculture prosperity
of our state. Kansas was desert I'M
til they discovered alfalfa and since
then every Kansasan's farm has been
gold mine.

CROWDS HEAR GOV. EGAN

The Vermillion Plain Talk. under
date Of May is. says: slsIs.l
There is no disputing the statement
that George w Egan is attractive. He.
gets the crowds, and that is what he il,
working for in his campaign Tor the
gubernatorial nomination. Once the
voters assemble. Egan does the rest.
1t is not to be denied that the Sioux
Falls attorney is q winner in the talk
department.. It's not TO be denied that
he makes votes for the Egan cause
wherever he speaks. Say what you
will, he is putting up q fight that Ii COM
mendable from his viewpoint md the
viewpoint of those who ore active In
his behalf.
With the band playing and banners,
flying, George w. Egan arrived in the
lefty last Saturday evening by the auto
route. He was greeted BY one Of the
largest audiences that has ever assem-
bled in the State Uuniversity city to-
listen to political speaker. He held
his auditors to the very last, talking on
the issues OF the day for two hours.
The city theatre was crowded. M
Fgan's platform 10 one that appeals
to the average voter and citizen. He
has words Of encouragement for every
community. If nominated and elected
governor, he promises to produce cure
for all evils. Inspectors will be fired
bodily, members Of boards Of charities
ard corrections. members Of the regent
board, and all other boards, willhave to
change their tactics or fail by the way
side. He has his own ideas about the
management Of state affairs and pro-
poses radical change il elected g
lgovernor.
No matter what you may think about
the sincerity Of the man, itmust be ad-
mitted that he is causing the so.called
progressives great deal Of worry.
The Egan sentiment 10 increasing. The
prediction 10 being freely made that he
will sweep the state in the primaries.
The Gull sentiment is not strong. The
Byrne support seems to be slipping
away. There is plenty Of evidence it
hand to substantiate the, statement.
Right here in vermillion Egan i grow
ling stronger daily. and there appears
to be sentiment all through the coun-
lty in his favor.
Egan stock is going up. He has good
backing. Just who 10 financing his
campaign is an open question. It mat-
tiers little. He is making the campaign
of his life and may land the nomination
with a big majority.

BEREFT OF MIND

A few days ago Charles Bolts, who
has resided with brother, L. E. Bolts,
near Meers for some months, became
violently insane, two weeks ago, since
which time he has caused the family of
his brother much trouble. Sunday he
threatened the lives of the household.
On Monday the insane man was induced
bv his brother to take drive to Fort
Pierre. Soon after arriving there the
insane man charged that his brother
was about to trick him, and declared
that none could put one over on him.
Authorities in Fort Pierre thought best
to send him to Pierre, while the is
suance of the usual convictment to the
asylum for the insane was being ar
ranged for; and. the wish of the auth
critics there, after placed party in
charge of him, was complied with. Both
came to this city about o'clock. An
hour later the insane man broke com
pany with his escort and disappeared.
A search for him was begun which ex-
tended into the night time. Early
Tuesday morning he was located at the
home of Mike Woods, twelve miles east
of the city. He was taken in charge,
and later placed in Jail at Fort Pierre,
where he will remain until an attendant
of the asylum will take him hence. Mr..
Bolts suffered paralytic stroke some
months ago to which his arrangement is
chargeable. s.
