RlNGW0RM ON CHlLD'S FACE

Str1tford, Iowa,-"Three years ago
this winter my seven-year-old son had
ringworm on the face. First it was in
small red spots which had a rough
crust on the top. When they started
they looked like little red dots and
then they got bigger, about the size
of a birds egg. They had a white
rough ring around them, and grew
continually worse and soon spread
over his face and legs. The child suf-
fered terrible itching and burning, so
that he could not sleep nights. He
scratched them and they looked fear
full. He was cross when he had them.
We used several bottles of IMMINENT,
but nothing helped.
Il saw where a child had q rash on
the face and was cured by Cuticura
Soap and Ointment and / decided to
use them. / used Cuticura Soap and
Ointment about n month, and they
cured my child completely" (Signed)
Mrs. Barbara Prim, Jan. 80, 1912.

throughout the world. Sample of each

Good Corn Picking.

Geddes.-That the corn crop i'm
South Dakota is turning out large, was
demonstrated in a corn picking con-
test in which a husker agreed to pick
$50 bushels.in ten hours or forfeit $50.
The corn was picked on the farm of
Alden Allen, living near Geddes, and
the wager was won by the young man
when he picked the $50 bushels In
eight hours and forty-six minutes. The
is yielding from so to so bushels
an acre in that section.

Hansen's Siberian Alfalfa.

Pierre.-A citizen from the Sansarc
county, west of the river, while in the
capital recently told of the remark
able success of Professor Hansen's
latest trial with alfalfa of the yellow
variety, in that portion of the state.
Last year, when all the state was very
dry, they had but two inches of rain
on the uplands west of the Missouri,
and this kind of alfalfa stood the year
very well through the exceeding cold
of last winter ana the dry summer fol-
lowing with one plant producing suf-
ficient forage for one COW The
plants are placed two feet apart one
way and four feet the other, SO it is
a very easy matter to know Just how
much is gained from each. The
plants do not spread at all, unless they
reseed, but grow after repeated graz
ing upon them and furnished an e
~ceptionally rich and nutritious diet.

Thames is seen like a CLEAN of silver
descending through the rich landscape
and curving round the foot or the hill,
its banks thickly wooded. Ham
House, the historic seat of the earl
OF Dysart, Petersham, and Twicken-
ham are in sight, and far away in the
dim distance rises the round tower of
lordly Windsor, and on the left the
outline of the Surrey hills. The poet
Thompson described this scene in
his seasons" when the beauties of
Summer inspired his pen:
Here let us sweep
The boundless landscape; now the rap

Now to the sister hills that skirt her
plain;
To lofty Harrow now. n now to where

RAIL ROAD
To Induce Milwaukee to Build New
Line.

To Induce Milwaukee to Build New
Line.
Rapid City.-As soon as President
Putnam Of the Buslnegs Mems club
returns from the east and Judge Levi
Niece adjourns court in Custer coun-
ty, a meeting of the business men of
the city will be called and a plan
formulated to join the Sioux City Com
mercial club in an effort to persuade
the Chicago. Milwaukee & st. Paul
railway to extend its lines northwest
to Marmount, N. d.
The survey for this extension was
made several years ago and officials
of the road who recently visited Rap
id City spoke of this extension as
being part of development work which
Is under consideration for 1913. 1t is
understood here in Rapid City that
the Sioux City packing houses are
particularly interested in this extern
sion, which will afford them an outlet
for their products, especially pork,
large quantities of which are shipped
to Seattle for the Alaska trade. In
cidental to this railroad talk comes a
definite statement from the Milwaukee
that it will not consider a purchase of
r. c., B. III. & w railway. This deal
has been passed about for the past Is
months owing to the fact that a corps
of engineers went over the layout of
this senic route. Now it developes
that the grade of the roadbed would
have to be raised from 40 to so feet to
put it In a position to be run success
fully for trains in both directions.
This would cost more than to build
over the proposed route to Marmount
and take the main line there. The adj
vantage of securing the r. c., B. III.
& w. would be largely a matter Of
coal rates, as the Wyoming coal fields
lie just beyond the present terminal
of this road at Mystic. Officers Of
what is called the crookedest roadbed
on earth contemplate extending it into
the coal fields and reaping the advan-
tages of this move for themselves.
The advantages to Rapid City for a
Milwaukee extension north are mani
fold; 1t would open up a large terri
tory to the north and northwest and
place the city on a coast to coast high
way. With the good roads projects
now awaiting development, a large
influx of tourist travel is expected
within the next few years.
Judge MCGEE and Robert Burton
are willing to join representatives of
the Sioux City Business Mems club
in making a trip to Chicago and hav-
ing a heart to heart talk with the Of
ficials of the road.

Baking Made Almo,. Automatic

Science has done many wonderful things

they lived at Ffnehley and he at
Crouch End. The mar never said any
thing to them, bat simply followed
them. and when they went indoors he
walked up and down outside watching
the house.

the applicant. but It's not very nice

offending against no statute. He is
quite within the limits of the law"

GUN BETTER THAN SERMONS

opinion of the Rev. H. A. Musser, who,
with his wife and their two children,
arrived from the orient on the Tenyo
Maru. Eight years ago, as district
superintendent of the Methodist Epis-
copal church, he went to the noun
tains and jungles of central India.
"The meek and mild type of mis-
.sionary is slow to gain the confidence
of the Hindus," said MI. Musser.
Much Of my success was due to the
fact that I was of assistance to the
natives in a physical sense. ! have

Near Death in Cess pool.

Mitchell.-In drilling a hole through
a new cesspool to connect it with an
old one, w. S. Sinkler, of %Iroquois,
narrowly averted death by the gas
route. When the auger went through
a rush of sewer gas followed out
and Sinkler fell unconscious to the
bottom Of the hole, which was about
twelve feet deep. The timely arrival
of Joseph Utter was all that saved
the life of the unfortunate man. He
discovered Sinkler unconscious in the
hole, and with the aid of a rope, lying
near by, he descended into the hole,
placed it around the mans body and
finally succeeded in drawing Sinkler
to the top of the ground. Utter was
partially overcome by the gas.
