To THE PUBLIC.

At the time we started our New De.
partment Store little over year ago,
we adopted coupon system and to all
purchasers we allowed a five per cent
discount. We attached small slip in
back of each coupon book making the
business profit sharing, stating that in
January 1912 we would allow each pur.
chaser of $1,000 worth of the books q
dividend equal to so per cent of their
share Of the profits on each $4,000
worth OF coupon books purchased.
We will now state that, in conformity
with the above, we are ready to pay
five per cent to each one. Those not
having purchased the required amount
of books may make further purchases
on the same terms, profits to be com.
puted and dividends to be declar ed one
year from this date on all purchases of
coupon books made now or to be made
prior to April 1st, 1912 This makes
your profit on all cash invested ten per
cent, which beats bankable interest.
We consider this very good show
ing in the face of the dull year through
which we have just passed. The ques-
tion is, what can be expected when
times are good? We think it will pay
all who haue the money to load up on
these books during the next sixty days.

According to Professor Hansen one
acre set with these plants at two by
four feet would yield in round numbers
eighteen bushels of seed, worth about
$500 at present prices. One hundred
acres would yield 100000 pounds,
''enough to transfer the alfalfa industry

Professor Hansen visited the Black
Hills recently and made preparations
for test OF these new alfalfas upon the
highest points where the climatic con-
ditions are more severe than upon the
lowest levels and foothills. His alfalfa
breeding has two objects in view; first,
to produce + liant for hay, and second
to produce harder alfalfa, which will

WOLVES VERY PLENTIFUL.

Bounty Certificates Likely to Shrink Greatly
in Value.
A dispatch from Pierre under date of
January 29th says:
"Buyers of wolf bounty certificates
for payment out of the appropriation
for the beginning of the next fiscal
year are not likely to get more than
fifty cents on the dollar. Last year
the payments uLder the apportionment
law we're only fifty five cents on the
dollar, and for that year up to the 25th
of January the claims flied had reached
but S5966, while up to the same date
this year they are up to s9,95l. II that
ratio continues through the year the
percentage of payment will not come
up to fifty per cent Of the face of the
certificates. Fall River county appears
to be good wolf hunting grounds this
winter. The total amount of claims
from that county for last year went up
to 81 1890, and 80 far this year they are
up to 1880"

In brief the following are the recon.

State aid in rural districts, referring

State aid as an inducement to con.

State aid to certain high schools,

Provisions for the financing of in.

The removal of the term limit of the

This fact was brought forth recently by
Professor Hansen at the Sioux Falls
Conservation Congress and at the State
Horticultural society which met Ut
Brookings last week, when report
was made of the progress with the
Russian and Siberian alfalfas. 1t will
be recalled that Professor Hansen was
special agricultural explorer for the
United States department of agricul-
ture, and that he brought these plants
back with him in 1906 and 1908. One of
these plants was exhibited at the state
fair at Huron last September bearing

wonderful, but recently in checking

America and all the civilized world he
is revered as hero, a martyr and as a

Next Number of Lecture Course at Morris

Next Number of Lecture Course at Morris
Grand Theatre, Saturday Evening.
The fourth number of the lecture
course program which is given under
the auspices of the Commercial Clu5
will be the Strollers Quartette at the
Morris Grand, Saturday evening. The
quartette is composed of four talented
artists under the direction of e. @.
Parmeter, who is also an impersonator
of no mean ability. The other members
are: A. G. Steele, first tenor and
violinist; VIM e. Wells, baritone and
pianist; E. Ray Carpenter, second tenor
This quartette is considered one of
the best on the road and their record in
the west is one to he proud of. They
have played in San Francisco three
consecutive years at the Sequoi Club,
the ri chest club in the west; also the
Gaumet Club at Los Angeles, the big
gest musical club west of Chicago, on
different occasions. They have also
played twice or more times at Santa
Cruz, Fresno, Visalia, Sacramento,
Riverside, Redland, Santa Anna and
Long Beach, California.
Working singly in twos, or as a
qusrtette, every number to be given by
the Strollers will be a success of the
quality and degree which is always
most gratifying to an audience.
Seats for this number should be re.
to draw packed house.
