Mission Hill-The w. T. Van Osdel
farm near here was the scene Of a sale
which had unusual and interesting
features. The sale marked the close of
40 years residence on the land by
Van osdel and his family. The farm
has been leased to Charles Crotty.
Van Osdel made entry of the land
from the government 40 years ago
and has lived on it and farmed 1t con.
~tinuously since that time. When
Crotty takes control 1t will be the first
time that the farm has not been under
the direct control Of its owner. A.
the sale of the Van Osdel effects a
COW brought $50, being within SO of
the record price ever paid for such an
animal in this part of the state.

BLACK HILLS
Experiences a Protracted Cold
Spell In February

Deadwood, March THAT the pre-
diction OF the grounding for six weeks
of winter following his appearance
last month, is proving true. is en-
phasized by the weather in the Black
Hills. February set a new record for
a protracted cold spell and its mean
temperature was 10 degrees above
zero. For fifteen days until March 2,
there was no break in the cold spell and
numerous SHOWS. March 2 was like a
genuine spring day and caused the
water to run freely in the streets. but
anoth ar cold snap and six inches OF
snow followed Immediately. The cold
has been so steady that the Wasp No.
2 mining company, which operates neal
here, and is one of the largest and most
successful mines in the Black Hills,
was forced to suspend operations until
later Ia the month when the weather
shall have moderated and the open Gu,
work in the Wasp mine is again pos.
sihle.

GENERAL WELFARE
Senator's View of the Immigra-
ton Appropriation

Pierre, March 7.-There was q little
distur bance in the senate, as in the
house, ON the question of allowing
the item in the general appropriation
bill fol continuing the immigration
bureau. Senator Patterson, of Greg
DRY county made the motion TO strike
out this bureaus allowance and was
seconded by Senator Howe, of Mime
haha county. The latter stated as
the bssis of his opposition that he had
been informed that S., 900 of the pre-
vious appropriation had been used by
the commissioner in campaigning
against Egan.
Senator Howe quoted Senator Dial
ton, of Hughes county, his authority,
but Senator Dalton did not confirm
him as TO the detailed amount, or as
to any amount, stating that he bad
been furnished with an affidavit recit-
ing that some of the state employees
had been campaigning against Egan.
One Of the senator's in sisted that such
an expenditure, even if shown, should
be classed as along the line of gener-
al state welfare.

Authorities say that a mlcrobe
causes badness. If you are losing
hair try our remedy at our risk.
Professor Unna, Of Germany. and
DR.. Sabouraud, the great French
Dermatologist, claim that a mi
crohe causes badness, and their
theory has been verified by eminent
scientists. This microbe destroys
the hair follicles, in time causing the
scalp pores to close and the scalp to
become shiny. Then, it is believed
nothing will revive the growth. III
treated before this occurs, badness
may be overcome.
We know of nothing that has
Kiven such universal satisfaction IN
treating the scalp and hair as Rexall
"Q3" Hair Tonic. 1t has been de-
signed after long study to overcome
the cause OF falling hair as discovered
by Prof. Unna, DIR. Sabouraud and
other scalp and hair specialists, and
we believe il will do more than any
thing else can to remove dandruh and
stop falling hair; and il any human
agency can promote q new growth
OF hair it will do that, too.
We want o to make us prove it.
We will pay for a months treatment
of Rexall "93" Hair Tonic used dur
ing a trial, if you will use it ac-
cording TO directions, and are not
thoroughly satisfied. When we will
do this, you surely should not hesitate
to at least try it.
Start the treatment today. Your
mere request will get your money
back if you want it. Two sizes; 300
and $l.00.
You can buy Rexall "93" Hair Tonic

UNIQUE PLANT
Established In the Black Hills
for Extracting Pine
Seeds

Custer City, March 7-One of the
most unique plants in the country OF in
the world, and practically the only
plant of its kind in existence, is what
is known as the new cone plant OF the
forest service of the United States gov
eminent in this city. The plant was
constructed for the purpose of extract
ing the seeds from pine cones, for the
use of the forest service in the Black
Hills and elsewhere where it is desired
to reforest areas where forest fires have
traversed or that have been rendered
barren through careless ~lumlering, or
even for starting a growth of pine
trees on government land in the federal
forest service.
Last fall Supervisor R. p. lines, of
the Black Hills forest reserve, with
headquarters here, purchased an ag-
gregate of 5000 bushels OF western
yellow pine cones from the settlers liv-
ing in the forest reserve or adjacent
thereto, many Of whom derived com
Portable incomes from this source.
From these cones about II, 900 pounds
of clean pine seed have been obtained,
at an approximate cost Of so cents
per pound. The work of extracting
the seed was in progress about three
months, and the work required three
shifts of men, working eight hours a
shift, inasmuch as the process re-
quires constant care and attention.
M At - Ia - A.
tinct parts: Opening the scales of the
cones; threshing out the seed; getting
the wings looseued from the seed, and
separating the seeds from the pulver-
lied wings and other debris. One crew
comes on at 8 O'Clock in the morning
and works until A p. m; the next then
works until midnight, when what is
known as the graveyard crew works
from then until 8 the next morning.
