M MEMORIAL DAY

Sacred to the memory Of every
patriot who has served his country and
has passed beyond.
Go gather stainless flowers,
The fairest and the best,
And lay them. tenderly,
Above each soldiers breast.
They are our honorod heroes,
Our nations precious SONS;
They served beneath "Old Glory"
Her shield, till war was done.
my child is mine!" the mother says,
And husa him to her breast;
Your child is mine! the nation says
With just as stern a breath.
The mother gazes on her son,
Her cheeks are pale with woo,
And then upon the Starry Flag
And then bids her loved n Co"
Oh, land We love, u native land,
Your colors proudly wave,
The flag that broadens mother-love,
Wraps too your soldiers grave;
Resting with trailing colors
Ger your noble sons low bed:
And folds about the marble shafts
That name your sleeping dead.
For Country"-our dear land OF
might
Their very best was given;
youth" midst the wreck of war
grind years;
And love and health are riven.
Oh drums, beat gently DER each bed,
Where soft the breezes sing;
In honor Of our cherished dead.
Oh buglCs, sweetly ring!
"Our comrades" hoary headed,
Are gathered; as of yore-
Their forms no moro are stalwart,
Their solemn tread is slower;
There's younger forms more saddened,
Here in the Army Blue:
Blow the brglss; softly, sweetly;
For the living heroes too!
Go gather stainless flowers,
The choicest and the best,
To be a nations offering
Scattered above their breast;
Our tribute OF affection,
OF patriotic pride;
The tear-drops of a nation
Ger noble sons who died.

o
Should Convince Every Brookings
Reader

The frank statement Of a neighbor,
telling the merits OF a remedy,
Bids you pause and believe.
The same endorsement
BY some stranger far away
Commands no belief at all.
Here's a Brookings case.
A Brookings citizen testifies.
Read and be convinced.
E. Williams, E. Third St, Brookings,
S. D., says: II have used Doan's Kid
ney Pills off and on or the past three
years and they are the only remedy
that has ever brought me relief from
backache. l was subject to that
trouble for a long time, brought on by
my work. If l stopped, my back pain
ed me severely and on one occasion l
had to lay off from work. I knew that
my kidneys were out of order and was
finally led to try Doan's Kidney pills.
They improved my condition in every
way"

DDS; they should furnish a party
n~ecleus for the ralleying of MEMBERS;
a political school and source OF inspira-
ton for those members as individuals,
and a practical training in the co-opera-
ton that is bound to ONE. There is
besides a strength in united effort
apart from the aggregate strength OF
the individuals comprising tan
esprit de core, that is most conducive
10 progress.
II is therefore the first aim of every
thoroughly class conscious socialist to
see to the establishment OF a local in
his community and see that it is kept
in working order. And a good line of
work for them to establish In the be-
ginning Is an efficient press committee
as well as the more general commit
tee for the distribution OF literature.
There Is a great deal Of news which
Is of immense importance TO the move
ment that never gets before the gen.
eral public. There is the owned and
purchased press that would not publish
anything inimical TO the interest OF
the privileged class; then there Is
the natural economic censorship OF all
publications run for profit, for 1t is
quite true that "as a man thinketh out
loud so are his finances" and as a con-
sequence the public is imperfectly in
formed as t the state of the union"
So If the socialist locals could main
tain obscure news" columns in their
local papers. they would probably get
more readers and perhaps furnish more
mind springs than many regular pro-
pagandist articles. How many readers
of the daily press have any idea of the
state Of things in West Verginia, for
instance? Would it not be worth
while to tryout such a venture in South
Dakota locals?
There is sufficient news every week
that could be culled from the socialist
press that never gets into the regular
dailies or does 20 in garbled forms, to
furnish such a column, which would do
more perhaps to make people sit up
and take notice of the power and
menace of plutocracy, than many So
cialist arguments. Alice B. Loomis.

MORE ABOUT WEEDS-PESTS ARE
ENORMOUSLY PRODUCTIVE.
HOW TO HAVE CLEAN SEED

One day a boy and his father were
hoeing in the garden and the father
chopped down a Russian thistle. He
said, See there, John, 1 have killed
a million weeds" The boy was in
credulous, but finally made up his
mind that there was at least some
truth in his fathers statement. The
number Of weed seed in agricultural
seeds, even when reasonably clean, is
greater than most Of us have any idea
Of. In a recent bulletin from the
Michigan station, one table shows the
number of weed seeds contained in a
pound when the sample contains but
two per cent impurity by weight. The
numbers are as follows:
Quack grass, 2,193: Indian mustard,
$40; Black mustard. 1894; Canada
thistle, 10,S7S: Dodder, 1888; Char
lock, ALSO; False fax, 1910; Chickory,
1882; Wild Carrot, 1929; Orange
Hawkweed. $1,000; Butter and Eggs,
1850; Buckhorn, 11,209; Rugel's Plan
Tain, 16,509; Night-iowering Catchfy,
$3.50: Penny cress, 1911.
This shows the extreme import
ance of tanning and tanning again until
the seed Is as pure as possible. An
other excellent way to get rid Of weed
seed is to put all of the seed-wheat
barley, or oats, in a large tub or vat
and stir 1t SO that the weed seeds and
shrunken seeds and dirt come to the
top. Then this can be SKINNED of and
the water drained OF at a bung hole
at the bottom Of the tub or vat, and the
clean, plump seed will remain. II this
sounds like too much work just remem-
Der that 1t is actually done on at least
one Of the biggest farms in North Da-
kota, and the manager does 1t because
he knows II paye-By Manley Champ

socIALIsTIc SHORT TALK

Organization Is a law Of nature.
What are the organs of the body but
organizations OF cells for the perfor.
nance OF specific functions? And
what Is the body itself but a great
trust that holds together these a
ious activities Of the body? And when
We consider the "One law, one life, one
element" OF which the poet sings we
may well conclude that organization
Is natures method of accomplishing
her purposes, not the least of which Is
the evolving OF a social organization
that shall promote the welfare of the
whole human family and have the
way for the browning race OF human
kind" Mankind have been learning
the value Of organization upon a large
scale for more than one generation

DRUGGISTS ENORMOUS (2) PROF.

1t Is n of the popular fallacies of
u times that the druggist Of today
makes enormous profits. He doesn't,
however. If he makes 10 per cent net
on his volume of business he is doing
pretty we'll, thank you"
The idea of large drug store profits
arose when medicines consisted large
ly Of herbs, roots, leaves and other
tracts and tinctures, and when there
were but few expensive products. Syn
thetic chemistry, antitoxins, proprie-
tary specialties and other innovations
have within the past two or three de-
cades operated to reduce drug profits
to the minimum.
Gross profits are somewhat larger in
the drug store than in the grocery and
hardware store because the volume of
sales is necessarily smaller as ex-
pressed in dollars and the ratio OF ex-
penses Is necessarily higher. Ten per
cent net on a forty-dollar4aday bust
ness will give the druggist $500 a
day to add to his profit accountant
this Is better han the average store.
or course, ordinary wages for the
druggist, interest on capital employed
and every other item of expense is
taken care of before not profits can be
determined.
This brief exposition of the subject
effectually disposes Of the enormous
CD profits Of the drug store. They
may have existed in We olden tyne,
but they II not in evidence now.
When the price Of a prescription or an
article of merchandise seems to be
high, just discuss the matter with the
druggist in a friendly manner. He will
willingly explain to you the eason for
his charge, because in the handling of
his complicated and exacting business
and in rendering expert services to
you, all he Is figuring for Is his aver
age 10 per cent net. The National AS
ISOLATION Of Retail Druggists Is a bust
ness organization which Is helping him
to do this.
The drug store Ii a center of infor-
nation and accommodation for the pub
lie. II you can't find anything you
want anywhere else, you go to the
drug store ror 1t. The druggist Is the
public's handy man. a semi public Off.
cial without pay. Do not begrudge
him his 10 per cent net for the service
he renders to you and your community.

Platinum holds undisputed sway in
the world of jewelry. There are many
reasons for this. Its lightness, its
adaptability to designs of exquisite
delicacy, and the fact that it is better
background for precious stones than
either gold or silver have all cantrib-
uted to its extraordinary popularity.
Jewels nowadays do not weigh quar-
ter of what they used to do, but they
cost a great deal more.

the most popular stones at present
