THE CITY WATER SITUATION

For considerably more than a year the people of Brinkley have been waiting and expecting some relief from the miserable water conditions.
 The new owner of the Light and Water Co.,, Mir. Thompson, came here more than a year ago and met most cordial and en- couraging reception from the people of Brinkley. He promised good water and improved service in every way. He needed a new franchise and this he readily secured from the city council.
 The council is composed of some of our best and most res ponsible business men and it is "up to them" to see that the rights of the people are protect ed even if there has to be some severe methods used to force the new company to quit promis- ing and DO SOMETHING that will give to the people of Brinkley water that is fit to use.

THIS WEEKS HORRORS

Possibly never in the history of America has there been such a week of horrors as this Eas- ter week of 1913.
 First came the horrors of the dreadful cyclone centering in its greate st destruction of life and property at Omaha, Neb., on Sunday. In this city alone $l0, 900, 900 in losses, 200 dead and 1000 wounded is reported.
 Along with this came accounts of the loss of life and property by cyclones all over the central and eastern United States.
 Followin g these dreadful dis asters came that blood curdling catastrophe of wind, flood and flame at Dayton. Ohio, where 10. 900 people are reported to have lost their lives and $50, OOO,- 900 of losses were sustained.
 Appeals for help for the suf- ferers have been made by Presi- dent Wilson and by Gov. Futrell. These appeals should be needed by the people of Rrinkley. Our city council could well afford to appropriate funds at their meet ing tonight for this purpose. If the city council doesn't do this. a public contribution should be started at once for this purpose.

Rural Life Conference Sept. l..

Mitchell.-The first rural life con-
ference will be held in this city Mon
day and Tuesday, September l and 2.
1t is designed to bring the farmers Of
the state together in what is consid-
cred a strong forward movement to
put them in better shape to handle
their products from the farm, and to
bring into their lives more of the so
cial side of life. The greater develop
ment of the farm will be the keynote
of the conference and some of the
best speakers in the state have been
secured for the program.
Hon. A. K. Chamberlain, develop
ment commissioner of the Great Nor
thern railroad, will be here to deliver
one of the addresses, to gether with
many other capable speakers. Farm
ers themselves will present the actual
side of farm life in contrast with the
theoretical side. The conference will
be held in science hall of Dakota Wes-
leyan University, and will be presided
over by III. l. Jones as chairman and
S. ID. Van Benthuysen as secretary.
A. big picnic dinner will be held on
the second day of the conference.

time dream that what to them was
merely an outing for the toilers of
the metropolis would in the not dis
tant future assume worldwide proper
tions.
It is a coincidence that the men
who laid the foundations for Labor
day selected the first Monday in Sep
TENDER. Why they did sc they do not
know except for the fact that at
that time of the year most Of the
industrial institutions Of the country
are either about to resume operations
or have done So, and with a year OF
steady work and good wages as the
prospect the toilers felt more in a
mood to jubilate.
The first celebration in New York
took the form which has neen the
accepted one for years, namely, a
parade of the union forces of the
city. Following this another fea-
ture, speeches by leading labor ora
tors, was also found on the pro-
gram. .
Following the New York outing in
1882, the same organization, encour-
aged by the success of the first affair,
held another one two years later. The
wage-workers in other parts of the
country started celebrations OF the
same kind.
In 1886 the American Federation Of
Labor went on record as favoring a
day of this kind and instructed the
delegates to work among their con-
s~tituents and secure as early as pos
sible legislative approval Of 1t. This
gave the movement it's real start.

BLUFF PROVES EXPENSIVE.
Taxpayers Called a Bluff, But Were
Disappointed.

Belle Fourche.-Calling what they
thought was a bluff, proved expensive
to a party of taxpayers near Gillette,
Wyo. The taxpayers were protesting
against certain assessments on cattle
before the board of county commits
sioners. Chairman w. p. Rickett
took up their challenge and declared
that he had been assessed too high
for his cattle holdings himself, but
that he would pay. The taxpayers
then offered to give Rickett 500 per
head for all the cattle he owned and
he promptly took them up, but added
that he would be fair and take Sf10,.
600 for the LAPS head he had turned
in TO the assessor.
The deal was made and the taxpay.
ers undertook to gather in the cattle
themselves and found that Rickett
had turned in nearly his full holdings
and by the deal sold them all and will
buy a new herd.

Burned bv Phosphorus.

Deadwood.-But for his proximity to
a creek. into which he jumped,
Everett Waugh, a 15-year-old boy OF
this city, would have lost his life by a
peculiar accident. AS it is, he was
seriously burned about the head, body
and hands. Young Waugh was out
berrying a few miles from the city
and in the creek he found some
chunks of phosphorus that someone
had cached there. Taking them out
of the water he placed them in his
pocket, ignorant of the effects. AS
soon as the water ~evaporated his
clothes burst into flame, and in trying
to put out the fire he scattered some
of the phorphorus about his head. and
the hair was burned off. Suffering
agony, the boy had presence of mind
enough to jump in the creek and, Yell
ing for help, he wcs rescued only after
great patches of flesh had been
burned from his body near the heart
and on the thighs.

IL you spend as little as $4,000 you
may ret Get yonr moneys worth.
But in our humble opinion, IL It
should happen to cost 81. 100000 to
rear a boy 1t is well worth 1t. Not
that we would encourage the expendi-
ture of a million dollars on any boy.
But Is there any other investment
which pays such big returns?
1t is true, of course. that you are al
ways taking a gambling chance with
any boy. He may go wrong In spite
of everything you can do, and yet.
looking at the matter In it's very worst
aspects, there Is so much that you
gain in large. human experience, in
varieties of emotions, in expansion
and contraction OF the soul, the mind
and the hecrt in rearing a boy, that
1t pays under any conditions.
When you put thought and affection
and interest and encouragement. and
as much chastisement as may DO
necessary, and hope and faith and
charity into a boy, 1t is better than
planting a garden, better than specu-
lating In Wall street, better than fall
ing In love with a woman, better than
anything else In the world that we
know anything about.
A boy Is a much more human docu-
ment than any other kind OF a human
being. There is more genuine re-
Spouse in a small boy than there Is in
a Wagner orchestra or a medium-sized
ocean. There is everything In a small
boy that there ought to be. and a
great Zeal more. Besides. a small boy
can cause more trouble to the square
inch than anything else on earth.
Ard this is the reason, professor.
why It pays to raise one. no matter
how much he costs.--Life.

Fix Location for Cheyenne Fair.

Mobridge.-At a recent meeting Of
the Cheyenne River Indian council it
was decided to hold their annual fair
this year on Goose creek about 25
miles west of the Cheyenne agency,
and near the station of Mossman on
the railway line to Faith. These fairs
have been kept up now for several
years and are a strong stimulation
toward agriculture on the part of the
reds, as the pride of success is just as
strong in them as In the whites, mad
their fairs are a test not only of the
showing which can be made by indi-
viduals, but also between the various
subdivisions of the reservation,
which each year contest against one
another for a prize for the sub-divi-
sion making the best showing.

Sioux FallG.-Dealers in patent med
~icinies, who run wagons in all parts
of South Dakota, and who nave tens
of thousands of dollars invested in the
industry, are up in arms over the
tenor of some of the remarks made in
reference to their industry by one or
two of the speakers who addressed the
annual convention of the druggists of
South Dakota, which was held in
Sioux Falls a few days ago. The
speakers in question recommended
that the legislature enact a law ex-
GLIDING the sellers of patent medicines
from the state, charging that they
were victimizing the residents of the
rural sections of South Dakota.
The sellers of these medicines con-
tend that their business is as legiti-
mate as that of the druggists. 81
wish to point out" said a leading sell
er of these medicines. that the goods
We sell are sold in the original pack
ages and subject to the provisions Of
the United States pure food and drug
act, guaranteeing their purity; that
all of our goods are articles of inter-
state commerce. 1t would seem from
this that the rural purchaser is much
more certain of what he is getting and
Its purity under federal laws than the
local citizen would be of the ingre-
dents of a prescription filled by g.
druggist, who may substitute ingre.
dents or authorizations or both with
out detection except upon chemical
analysis"
The sellers of patent medicine
charge that for ten years the drug
gists' association has been endeavor-
ing to secure the enactment of legisla-
ton to drive the travelling salesman of
medicines and proprietar PARTICLES out
of South Dakota, and that they have
during each session of the legislature
during hat period maintained a lobby
at the state capital to further their
purpose.

little house like this, erected In the
outskirts Of town, where fresh air and
sunshine may be had in quantities
sufficient to promote health and good
looks.
The arrangement of the rooms is
very simple; and while the finish is
good and neat, there is nothing ex-
pensive about the house. The plan
calls for a good cellar with a concrete
wall, or with stone wall properly laid
and coated on the outside with a half
inch layer of Portland cement mortar
to insure a dry cellar.
There is room in every town and
city for hundreds OF such houses.
Transportation is SO easy, quick and
