The Best Terms

That is what every person is looking
for when making a deal of any kind.
There ara land deals made all over the
country and many Of them on crop pay
ments. We have a scheme whereby the
buyer gets the most benefit of his lab
ors. We sell him a North Dakota farm
in a place where crops are generally
good and take a chance with him. We
sell him on the crop payment plan. We
give him every advantage all the way
through. Pierce & Havens.

As Others See 1t

Eugene L'Hoit, editor of the Milford
Ill.) Herald, was one of the editors
who made a pleasure trip through South
| Dakota with the National Press asso-
citation. In a recent issue of his paper
he tells his readers of his surprise at
what he found in this state. go to
South Dakota and go now," is the
advice he gives to his readers. The
article, which will be read with inter
est in South Dakota is as follows:
"The editor returned from his South
Dakota trip Thursday evening some
what fatigued wei so strenuous a trip,
but very much taken up with the
country. South Dakota is surely and
truly a wonderful state and those who
imagine it is a barren waste of land
have several guesses still coming 1t
is wonderful for it's grazing land, its
fertile fields of grain, its b~ounteous
fruit crops, its mining interests, its
beautiful cities and its well kept homes
but better than all this, the people
behind it all. They are imbued with
that spirit of progressiveness that is
bound to bring their state to the front
rank of states within the next five
years. When we went to Dakota we
had printed a little card with the map
of Illinois on the back thereof, showing
Milford to be the only place on the
map, but before we had been in the
state t~wenty-four hours those South
| Dakotans had us back in a corner and
in doubt. Every night before we
retired we quietly stole to the smoking
compartment of our car and tried all
the tests known to the medical frater-
nifty as to our sanity. W. were fear
full that we might be losing our mind.
They filled us up so with the wonders
of the country, and had the goods to
back it up, that it will be many years
before we get it out of u system. In
fact, we are almost homesick to &C
back right now. There is plenty OF
room up there for many thousands Of
people and the next five years will
show wonderful development. Moth
ing can keep it down.
From the time we struck Sioux
Falls until we said goodbye at Yankton
we were favorably impressed with all
we saw and much we heard. and while
we will have no more to say about the
trip within the next few weeks, we
are fearful that the great trouble will
be in making our readers believe it all.
But this much we a say, to the mar
who wants to get a home, to the mar
who is seeking investment, to the
young mar who says there is no oppor-
tunity for the young mango to South
Dakota, and go now"
