ing object lesson taken from the
Browns Valley Tribune:

Browns Valley Tribune:
James Boyd, the thresherman,
who owns and resides on a plot
OF ground comprising scarcely
seven acres, has demonstrated
that farming in small way can
be made to pay a profitable re-
turn. Beginning with January
of this year he has sold $3.50
worth of eggs; he has sold and
on hand chickens to the value of
1925; he raised 80 bushels of fine
field corn, worth at least $40; $50
bushels of potatoes worth $50; -
spring pigs worth $85; total $3.50.
He has expended $85 for feed,
leaving net $475. Aside from
from this he has pastured and
kept milch COW on the place
and raised a big garden of all
kinds of vegetables. This shows
what a man can do on a small
tract of land in this country, and
it also shows that the average
farm in this section is entirely
too large.

Tests Made and Evidence Proves
Presence of Disease

Some hogs died on the John
Hansen farm, about three miles
northeast of this city, and Drs.
Mcdonald, Williams and Gross.
veterinarians, went out there
Saturday and held post mortem
examination on one of the ami
mails to determine the cause of
death. The evidence advanced
all pointed to hog cholera and
confirmed their previous inn
pressions.
Mr.. Hanson had something like
30 head of hogs, and should they
all die Of this disease, his loss
Will oe considerable. His broth
er, living mile off, has around
100 hogs, but on Saturday they
had not been affected.
Farmers are advised to vacci-
nate their hogs if possible, and
to permit no strange dog
to get near their hogs, as dogs
can easily carry the disease.
Beware of travelling serum
sellers. They are fleeing the
farmers over in Minnesota by
selling a worthless fluid for vac
cination.

NEAR PRAIRIE FIRE IN BOSSKO
Hard Fighting All that Prevents Wheat
Stacks from Burning.

Wednesday afternoon the wind
carried sparks from a burning
straw stack on the Daniel Wing
farm into some dry stubble, and
the blaze soon stretched out into
a sheet of fire nearly a mile in
length. On the Ole Fossum farm
several stacks of hay were con-
sumed and more hay was burned
for Otto johnson.
The fire was spreading rapidly
towards 18 stacks of grain on

Mel Mckay, a farmer so or 20
years of age living in Bryant
township, was returning home
from Browns Valley Saturday
evening. In narrow gully not
far out from the Valley he was
stopped by Joe Sevenbrothers,
an Indiad in an intoxicated con-

back to town and get some liquor,
otherwise he would be shot.
Taking in the situation at a
glance, Mr.. Mckay asked to be
permitted to drive along to where
the road was wider, in order
that he might turn around. Given
this permission, he whipped up
his team and made his escape.

furnishing a suitable bond, the
Indian was sent to Jail where he
is liable to remain until the next
term of circuit court. Seven

Immediately took forcible pos-
session of this crop of Sweet
corn, and though they had their
arms full, they managed to get
it well stacked in the county
Jail. In the morning they pres
sented Sweetcorn to his honor,
Judge Bleser, under the usual
charge of drunk and disorderly.
The Judge after examining
Sweetcorn concluded that he was
not a good variety as he had been
in court several times before in q
mix-up with John Barleycorn.
and in one of these matinees had
lost an ear to a brother Indian
who desired to taste him and see
if Sweetcorn was really ripe,
and delicious as his name would
imply. The other Indian after o
time recovered, but Sweetcorn
never got his ear back and is
consequently short one ear of
being full measure. 1t was on
account of these previous visits
to the court that the Judge
sentenced him to a $25 fine, but

ever, poor Sweetcorn is not the
first who has lost to John Barley

thought himself to be. big injun"

hold on him, and, he was obliged
to confess that. his name was

the foolish victim who thinks he
can play with him for any length

pup he never let's go when he
once closes his jaws on 'em.
Milbank Advance.
Sweetcorn must have paid his
fine, as he has been seen on
the street here this week.

Interesting Indian Fair
Favored by Fine Weather and
Good Attendance.

last week was dotted with tepees
of tie Indians who had brought
their families in to the fair: and
one was forcibly reminded in
passing through the wooded
gulch, where the Indians with
first pick had selected their
camping ground, what an ideal
place it would have been in the
old days of savagery in which to
ambush an enemy.
A visit to the exhibition build
ings showed some exceptionally
fine corn, small grain, vegetables
and small amount of fruit-all
raised by Indians of Roberts
county. There was also variety
of handiwork of the women
which showed good taste, and
care in execution. In one of the
buildings was lot of beadwork,
a tomahawk and other parapher
MALTA of war, among which was a
decorative piece which had doubt
less been worn in battle, as it is
known to have been made more
than so wears ago.
The exhibit from the govern
ment school was in building
by itself. Near the entrance
was an exhibit of writing which
would have been credit to white
children. Some of it represent
ed the work of children with on
ly eight months knowledge of
the English language, and was
remarkably well done. Another
exhibit which attracted partic-
ular attention was the crayon
work and pen and ink sketches,
many subjects being most beau
tifully done. On one of the
drawings was the name of Alvin
Spider, the little Indian boy who
was shot few days ago. The
cakes, pies, bread and other
samples of cooking were a great
credit to the little girls at the
school, as was also the sewing
exhibit, laundry work, etc. AS
users of edged tools the boys
show themselves to be very
handy, which was evidenced by
the articles of furniture from the
manual training department.
The collection of vegetables from
the school farm was not large,
but was creditable display. The
farm also showed a few fine hogs,
colts, calves, chickens etc.
For ports there we're various
races, broncho busting, ball
games, ETC., and each day had a
speaker whose remarks were re-
peated in the Indian tongue by
an interpreter. On Friday one
of the race horses ,bolted from
the track and struck Frank
Smith of Waubay who dropped
to the earth like one dead. After
about 20 minutes of chatting Of
his hands and the; application Of
cold water Mr.. Smith was
brought back to consciousness,
apparently not much the worse
for his experience. Right when
this excitement was on, one of
the Indian policemen was struck
in the face by Philip La Bate
for his over.officiousness, and
tor minute or two it looked as
though worse trouble might re-
suit.
The speakers were Judge Nc
Nulty, Senator Crawford and
Mr.. Boon of the Indian depart
ment at Washington.
Major Allen, Supt. Mossman
and others interested in the fair
are greatly pleased at the way
things went off this year.

HEART TO HEART TALKS
ABOUT ADVERTISING
BY Roy B. simpson

I Advertising is the same to business
that nitrogen is to plant life. 1t is
the thing that makes abusiness
grow. No business can become perma-
nently successful without it.
MY first admoniton to people who
treat advertiing lightly, and also to
business concerns who ought to adj
yertise but don't, is-DON'T BE
LITTLE ADVERTISING.
Every advertisement in this news
paper IS NEWS and every news ar
tiele Is an ADVERTISEMENT
Preas dispatches from Washington
advertise Inc achievements OF some
political party or Individual member
OF Congress Reports OF O. s troops
ON the Mexican border advertise the
gtreneth OF oar army 20 the world.
am news is Information affecting
the welfare OF lhe individual, corpor-
alton, state or natlon Literally it Is
advertising
But no news Is so vital TO all the
people as the Advertisements. Let's
see how advertising news has in
creased your purchasing power
a better suit of clothes can be
bought today for $15 than you
could buy for $25 a generation ago
when woolens were cheap and pro
tecuye tariff unknown.
The high-grade flour your grocer
Sells could not bee purchased twenty
years AGO with wheat selling at half
present prices, simply because such
good flour couldn't be made. Yet the
best flour costs no more now than the
interior product did then.
Notwithstanding the high tariff
and the enormously increased price
of raw materials and nigh labor costs
you can purchase most of the things
sou eat. wear or use of better grade
than formerly at no increase IN price
Very often YOU pay less.
The manufactures or dealer does
more in one year than his foreiathers
did I'm ten. The old time merchant
and manufacturer realized go TO 100
per cent profit and more on each
sale. but your modern merchant Is
content often with as little as to
8 per cent and makes more money
I by constantly turning his capital
Advertising has made this possible
/ Il creates continuous demand and
increases consumption Il reduces the
cost of manufacturing by increasing
the production IT makes competition
and keeps retail prices down.
When you read an advertisement
just think Of Ct as an important piece
of news published for your exclusive
benefit. when YOU WRITE an adver
tisement put into # an interesting
