NV LAW coMPELs CHANGE.

On March z last a new law affect
ing certain corporations became ef-
fective in this state. Under it's pro-
visions a corporation using the word
Trust" in it's name or title and thus
p%urpOrting to act as trustee or cuSto-
dian of trust funds must comply with
certain requirements, which to a com
pany not transacting a trust business
are very eXacting and unnecessary.
A minimum cash capital Of fifty thou
sand dollars, a deposit Of at least
fifty per cent Of it's capital in bonds
or mortgages with the state treasurer,
regular reports to the public examin-
er, increase in the number Of it's di-
rectors and many other details of an
exacting nature are among the pro-
visions of the new law.
In conversation with a Register rep
resentative this week M. G. Carlisle,
president and manager of the Brook
ings Land and Trust company, in
formed us that his company was
among the corporations affected by
the new law. Mr.. Carlisle said:
Our company is affected by this
law, as it's articles of incorporation
authorize the company to act as trus-
tee as contemplated by the laws af-
fecting such a business. However we
have never sought or solicited bust
ness of that kind nor do we expect
to do so. 1t has therefore been
deemed advisable to discontinue bust
ness under our present corporate
name and to gradually liquidate and
dissolve the business affairs and cor
porate existence of our company.
Il will take over and continue the
business as successor to Bookings
Land & Trust Co., assuming and car
rying out all contracts heretofore
made by it and collecting all accounts
and bills receivable Of the company.
We have over two years in which to
close up the business affairs of the
corporation during which time all con-
tracts will have matured. There will
be no change in the business policy
of the company.
The Brookings Land & Trust Co.
has been in eXistance for over sixteen
years and we believe has been an
important factor in the growth and
advancement of this part of South
Dakota. 1t has expended thousands
Of dollars in advertising Brookings
county and the Big Sioux Valley and
while it has paid substantial dividends
to it's stock holders, it is also true
that it's customers have invariably
reaped a greater profit in the increase
of values brought about largely by
the efforts of the company to make
known to landseekers the superior
advantages of farm lands in this re-
gion. 1t has a large clientage and it
is not intended that a business SO
we'll established shall be lost or
scattered.
Il wish through the Register to
thank all friends and customers of the
company for their confidence reposed
and favors bestowed and trust that the
same pleasant relations will be con-
tinued under the new conditions"

seed is furnished to the settler in

a lien on both his crop and land, and

NEWS OF INTEREST AT THE CAP
iTOL GATHERED BY OUR
CORRESPONDENT
NOT TO TINKER WITH SCHEDULE K
Democratic House Will Not Com
memo on Much Abused Schedule
Capitol Gossip Of Interest

From Our Washington Correspondent.)
Now that Senator La Toilette is
afield promoting his candidacy for the
presidency, republican supporters of
the administration are v~ociferously
declaring that President Taft will
have a walk away at the Chicago con-
vention. This may, or may not be a
fact, and most interested persons be-
ing ~prejudiced one way or other, are
apt to figure the ultimate result to
suit the eXigencies of their "
minds. 1t is, however, very apparent,
that aside from the Presidential trip
about the country and results that
may have been obtained, that the Re
publican activity has been in the
progressive camp thus far. The Ma
pending upon the different states to
fight out their destiny and the
first results of this policy of inaction
have just been counted in Arizona,
where there has been a democratic
landslide.
The Democratic House of Repre-
sentatives is not going to start tariff
legislation with schedule X as was
expected, and Mr.. Underwood, Chair
man of the Ways and Means Commit
tee, announced an entirely different
schedule, that puts wool along after
a revision of the iron and steel
schedule, and chemicals and sugar.
The democrats in taking up these
measures SO hurriedly, are no doubt
trying to forestall the Tariff Board,
and enact some Of their laws that
will put the president in a hole"-a
popular diversion instituted last sum
mer, when Mr.. Taft climbed out of
the "holes" and plugged them up with
vetoes. Mr.. Underwood is the real
power of the House, and it will be
remembered talked back to William
Jennings Bryan like a Dutch uncle
a few months ago. His plan is to
try and riddle the report of the tar
iff board on wool, before the revision
is attempted and to show by COM
parison, if possible, that the House
bill Of the special session was really
prepared by aid Of the tariff board
data. 1t is a part of the attempt to
make democratic campaign material,
and to discredit administration eff
forts, and the tariff board is to be
made the goat, if possible, notwith-
standing their splendid work for sci
entific tariff revision. Oh, but there
is a campaign coming!
Colonel Roosevelt complains that
people are afraid to go to see him,
for fear of being compromised in
matters Of politics." which goes to
prove that in the affairs of the nation,
and in great Gotham human nature
paddles its course just about the same
as at Squashville Castle, where fac
tional jealousy is no more in evidence
in the school deestreect" than in the
places of power when presidents and
rulers are made and unmade. In the
Capital itself there is always this fear
of making calls on certain public men
for fear of "being compromised"

BUTTER FAMINE in NEW YORK
Reserve Stocks Nearly Exhausted
Prices Are Advancing.

New York, Nav 4.-This city is ex-
periencing one of the periodical but
ter famines" that usually mark this
season of the year. Reserve stocks
are nearly exhausted and under the
stimulus of a good demand and light
receipts wholesale prices on all
creamery grades are advancing sharp
ly.
The usual shortage was not antici-
pated this year because of the late
ness of the season and the belief that
the increase in production would meet
the enlarged demand.
However, the expected increase OF
supplies did not materialize to any
great extent Another reason for the
shortage in New York is the compe-
tition of several of the Western butter
markets in which prices are relatively
higher than those quoted in the local
market.

FERTILIZERS
TO HELP THE
FARMERS NOW
TO COUNTERFEIT WEATHER
MAY Prove Salvation of the
Crop

Atlanta, Ca, May According to
reports received at the state depart
ment of agriculture, cotton planting
averages thirty days late throughout
the state and the farmers realize that
only by means of intercultural fertili-
zation through the use of commercial
the prolonged delay caused by contin-
ued wet weather throughout Georgia
The farmers are extremely anxious
to get a good stond of cotton before
the ravages of black root, wilt an
thraxnos and other plant diseases at
tack the growing cotton. 1t is too late
to put fertilizer in the ground and the
farmers must depend upon the intelli-
gent use of a properly balanced top
dresser in order to give the growing
cotton sufficient plant food.
Reports from all sections of the
state are to the effect that the cotton
growers are taking advantage of the
few sgood days to haul commercial
fertilizers to their farms and will push
this plant by intercultural cultivation
during the next few weeks.
The location of the hundreds of oil
mills throughout the states where
commercial fertilizers are mixed and
distributed are proving great aid to
the cotton planter in getting his fer
tilizer evenly mixed and at a great
saving in freight. tt is believed that
his method of cultivation will prove
the salvation of the 1912 cotton crop.
