REMARKABLE RECORD OF
IMPROVEMENTS IN HASTINGS
Nebraska City Has Reason to Be
Proud of lts Achievements.

In the way of municipal improve.
ments, which are sure token of the
progressiveness of the community.
Hastings, Neb., has made a record dur
ng the past year that is said to be
without parallel among the Nebraska
cities of her class for this or any other
year.
Including over four miles of street
paving finished in the twelve months
ending this fall and for sewer exten-
sions and improvements in the water
and light department finished or con-
tracted for during the calendar year
Hastings bill is approximately $780,
600. This years improvements bring
the value of the water system up to
100000, and the value of the electric
light and power system up to $4,000.
making total for the two of S34O. 900.
The bonded debt of the city was de-
creased during the last ten years from
S2S0,OOO to $195,00O, but the $4,000
issue of intersection bonds this year
brought the total back to S245.OOO.
which is still far less than the value of
the city's investments In the two mu-
nicipal enterprises. Bond issues of
$4,000 for the water plant and an
original bond issue of $4,000 for the
light and power plant gave the only
public aid these two plants have had.
all the subsequent improvements hav-
ing been paid for out OF the earnings.
Moreover, there has been no levy
either for water used by the city or for
street lighting. During the present year
the city has invested about $1,000 in a
new well and new smokestack and
about $4,000 in the installation OF new
air compressor. approximately, $1,000
has been spent in the enlargement of
the power house and the building of a
coal storage house and machine shop.
Two boilers have been installed and
are about ready to be placed in com
mission.
When the settlement IS made this i'm
provement will represent further in
vestment of $1,000. Early this month
the council contracted for a new pump
to cost $9,250 and the foundation and
addition to the building about $1,000
more. Sewer extensions built and con.
tracted for during the year show an
outlay Of over $1,000. The total cost
of paving in the twelve months ending
this fall was $2O6,4G0.0S. Over 500
carloads Of materials were shipped
into Hastings for this paving exclu-
sive of the home brick used.

Homo Trade Pointers.

Keep track of your sales each day.
1t will be help to you later on.
At the close Of each days business
enter in your personal memorandum
book your total sales for the day; also
make totals for each week and each
month. For the first year you can
make weekly and monthly compari-
sons, and after a year you can com
pare your sales each day. These com
parisons will serve to act as an incen-
tive in your work, for you will find
yourself trying to beat your previous
records. You will find that it is inter
esting to do this. 1t is good thing for
the store. SO it cannot be anything but
good thing for you also.

Claim Thev Can "crovv Meat.


Artificial production of food by mere
iy chemical processes has always been
a dream of the scientific man. A re-
cent discovery brings this within the
possibilities. provided the chemist is
allowed an organic cell to start with.
Professor W. ii. Lewis and his wife
Of Johns Hopkins are reported to have
caused cellular substances to grow in
definitely outside of the organisms to
which they originally belonged. DR..
Lewis now suggests that this may en-
able men to grow" meat on a COM
mercial scale. a commentator says:
"What DIR. Lewis and his wife claim to
have actually accomplished is this:
They have taken pieces of chicken,
placed them in a saline solution and
grown chicken meat. They have dis
covered that 1t is possible to cut Off
some Of this chicken meat without him
dering further growth, and the process
can be repeated indefinitely. They also
claim that the process can be applied
to any kind of fiesh."-Chicago News.

A WOMAN HAS FIRST
CHOICE ON THE LAND
MRS. MARY KENDALL WILL HAVE
THE FIRST CHOICE AT THE
HOMESTEAD LANDS AND is
LOOKING 1T OVER.

Gregory, S. D.-The thousands of
landseekers who drew" homesteads
of 100 acres each in the coded por-
tions Of the Rosebud and Pine Ridge
Indian reservations in Mellette and
Bennett counties are commencing to
gather at the towns adjacent to the
n~ewly-opened domain preliminary to
making their selections and tender
ing their 4lings. April l was origi-
nally fixed as the time for the COM
mencement of filings, but anticipat-
ing that weather conditions would
not be favorable at that time the
time was extended to April IS.
Mrs. Mary Kendall, of Rapid City,
s. d., who drew o. / in the land lot
terry, has been in Mellette and Ben
nett counties for several days look
in COVER the coded tract and deter
mining which farm of 100 acres she
will select. 1t is estimated her farm
will be worth not less than $1,000,
her good fortune in drawing No. 1 be-
ing the same as drawing the capital
prize in a regular lottery.
While the filings will be made at
the new town of White River, Mellet-
te county, they will have to be re-
corded at the United States land of.
flee at Chamberlain, Mellette and
Bennett counties being in the Cham
berlain district.
1t has been arranged that filings
can be made by mail from White
River, and in this name the home.
steaders will be saved a return triI
to the land office after they have ex-
amined the land. White River is
twenty-eight miles south of Murdo
a station on the Chamberlain-Blacl
Hills division of the Milwaukee rail
way. The town of Winner, the
nearest station on the Northwestern
railway. Is tifty-eight miles from
White River.

but under the present circumstances
the state can do nothing toward Sc
curing state control or development
of the same, leaving them to some
day be monopoliZed for private gain.
The people of South Dakota pay an
naully $11, 900, 900 for fuel. A large
per cent of this is for freight. With
in the state there r Ignite fields
capable of furnishing heat for the
entire state at a very much lower
price. BY modern briqueting meth
DDS this Ignite can be made equal
to the very best anthracite and laid
down anywhere IN the state for from
81 to s per ton. Railway officials
have said frequently that their roads
would discourage in every way pos
sible the development of these fields
because they want the long hauls
from Pennsylvania, Indiana and
Illinois.
At the last session this matter of
state development of it's coal mines
vas discussed by members. but the
constitution prohibited any active
steps.
In these and other of
necessary internal Improvement
which are not attractive to private
capital, or which properly belong to
the sphere of the state, the common
wealth of South Dakota can take no
active part until this clause of its
fundamental law lis repealed.
