Hon ". A. Old6eld for
 Confress

l The announcement of Hon. 1 w. A. Oldfield as a candidate for reelection to the office of Representative in the Lower House of Congress, appears in the ARGUS.
 1 Mir. Oldfeld has represen ted this district for the past five years and is well known to the people of Monroe county. 1 MT. Oldfield has the chairman ship of on of the most impor- tant committees of Congress which position he has filled with honor for the past two years and which shows his standing among his colleagues. He has stayed at his post of duty and performed the duties of the office in such a way that there has been but little if any criticism.
 Among the special local legis- lation secured by MT. Oldfeld was the appropriation for pur- chase of U.. S. post office sites both in Clarendon and Brinkley and that baying seve eral old war claims that have long been pend ing.
 Mir. Oldfield will make a visit to the people of this section before long when he will be heard in hls own behalf. but at present is detained in Washington in the important measures now before Congress.
 The ARGUS bespeaks for Mir. Oldfield a most careful and inn partial consideration from the people.

whose Fair is 1T

The State Fair of South Dako-
ta is not q private institution run
for personal profit. Il belongs
to the people Of the State, IS
their public property. The State
Board Of Agriculture is grateful
for the manner in which the rank
and file of South DakOtans support
their big Exposition. In turn the
Board is trying to make good the
confidence which the people place
in them, and is endeavoring to see
that there is no disappointment
either in exhibits or entertain
ment. The Board has alway S
purchased the most costly and up
to-date attractions for the Fair.
"Let's be right up to the minute,
has been their slogan. Last year
the big aviation meet was the
main feature. This year air ma
chimes are more common. The
spectacular and 1913 patented py
rotechnics are the latest in thrill
ers, that is what the State Fair
will present as the big attraction.

Clusters Last Conflict

This feature of Pains great
historical pageant of the State
Fair will be an Interpretation of
an event, the details of which
have been the cause Of great diff
ference of opinion. The battle
of the Little Bighorn, where Gus
ter fell. is one of the great out
standing events of pioneer days.
The battle lasted but a few min
utes, when Custer and his entire
force of about six hundred and
thirty white men, members of
the 9TH cavalry, were completely
wiped out. This occurrence of
the early Rosebud country in
1876 should be of more than pass
ing interest to State Fair visitors,
especially as given by the great
Pain aggregation. The entire
cast, scenery, Indians, and fire
works effects, will combine to
produce the most remarkable ex-
hibition ever given to the west.
Those who contemplate visiting
the Fair would do we'll to review
the circumstances of the battle
in which the brave Custer gave
up his life.

Elevator Safe Robbed

Burglars broke into the Farm.
ers elevator Office last Monday
night prying the pad lock off the
outer door to the unloading shed
and taking out two panes of glass
from the window at the scales.
The safe was opened by the use
of the combination as the lock
was not damaged, but the front
of the money drawer was pried
off. The thieves took $11.25 in
currency and silver, but did not
disturb anything else. Manager
Ackerman picked up q couple OF
keys on the floor in the morning,
and thinks these may. have been
dropped by the burglars, and
were possibly taken from the
Empire elevator Office which was
also entered, and the folding desk
broked into, but it is not believed
any thing in the way of cash was
found there, as H. A. Riley is
away and there is no safe in the

Does Not Like Wisconsin,
The Fenner Brothers Come Home
Satisfied with Dakota Conditions

Messrs. julius and Fred Fem
ner and families returned last
Saturday from an auto tour to
their old home in Wisconsin.
They drove clear across the
state and returned on a different
route. They stated that the
grain fields in Minnesota looked
good, but there was little small
grain in Wisconsin that appeared
to amount to anything that could
he seen on the trip. They claim
that the fields, farms and build
ings had all seemingly diminished
in size since they were there thir-
ty.three years ago. They state
that while many of the farmers
in that country appear to think
that Dakota is almost beyond the
bounds of civilization, the real
truth of it is farming operations
are in more advanced condition
here than they are in that older
country, whore the women and
girls and in fact all of the family
have to put more or less of their
time in the fields. julius said
he prefers work on a Dakota
farm to raising cabbage at s. to
$4 ton after hauling it to town.
They found some very bad roads
in the vicinity of Lacrosse where
heavy rains had washed down
the hills so that in many places
only rocks were left and at the
foot of the hills the sand was
piled up. but on their return trip
they took q different route and
found better roads.

The SOciabity Run
BroOkings Party Makes Comment on
the Way.

A correspondent Of the Brook
ings Press gave an extended
write up of the "sociability rum
over the Winnipeg and Gulf high
way, which took place a couple of
weeks ago and we take the fol-
lowing paragraphs from it:
1.-THE drive was most beauti-
full one, as the weather was per
feet and the country at this time
just before the harvest is a de-
lightful sight The crowd was =
splendid one, and everybody en-
joyed themselves thoroughly.
The cars became separated some
times between the towns, but up
on entering a town they all drew
up as closely together as possi-
bic, presenting a very pretty
sight
"Milbank was perhaps the
prettiest city seen on the trip.
It is a town of $500 people and
appears to be clean enterpris-
ing little city. A banner strung
across Main street bearing the
words. you'll Like Milbank," "
made quite an impression on the
visitors and they certainly did
like Milbank."
Big Stone City, a pretty little
town of 500 or 600 people was
reached shortly before seven and
the tourists went on to Chautau-
qua Park, most of them put up
at the Minnewarmett hotel,
where goodaccommodations were
to be had"
big Stone is a beautiful lake
surrounded by high bluffs and
beautiful trees. Many beautiful
summer cottages are on its banks
and it is visited by thousands of
tourists every year =
big Stone has perhaps the
finest chautauqua pavilion in the
northwest and here was held the
annual business meeting and
good roads session of the associa
tic - The old nhcefs ofsthe @as-
sociation, including DR.. A. A.
Harris, of .Brookings, as secre-
tary, were reelected. Talks
were made by number of well
known road boosters, including
Prof. Solberg, DR.. Harris and
E. G. Sheldon of Brookings.
