Secretary Hume, agronomist of
the state agricultural college, has
started in on a campaign to interest
the bankers of the state to esnpha-
size the better farming methods for
South Dakota farmers. The agron-
omist has addressed several letters
to every banker in the state to urge
their cooperation to make it posi-
bic to place the dep rtment of ag-
ron0my in a better position to serve
the interests of the state. MI. Hume
indicates in his letters to the bank
ers and business men that there is
great need for finding out more
about the soils and crops of the state
adding that so little has really been
accomplished that this feature of
farming is in it's infancy. While the

is handicapped from the fact that
there are not sufficient funds at hand
to carry it on. Mr.. Hume wants to
interest the bankers and business
men to the extent that they lend
their influence to get an adequate
appropriation from the state legisla-
gture to provide for this work in the
future, and he feels like guaranteeing
that the state and its people will be
repaid many times oyer for the in
vestment that it made.
Mr.. Hume appeals to the bankers
and business men on the ground that
they are the one most directly inte-
rested in the successful progress of
the farmer and with their co-opera-
ton he believes the state legislature

A HOLIDAY EXCURSION.

Last Saturday evening a company
OF about fifteen students who live
in the city %journeyed in a hay-rack
to the home of Donald Hoffman, sev-
eral miles south of Mitchell. On ac-
count OF the extreme cold the skating
trip which was planned in conjunc-

abandoned, but the failure OF this
feature proved no disappointment to
any of the party. In the large Hoff-

fairly raced away while the young
people played games and enjoyed
themselves to The utmost 1t was
after midnight before the grouI

OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER
GETTING QUITE AGGRESSIVE.

In this money trust probe the gov
eminent is assuming something of a
defiant attitude toward the men who
have contributed in one way and an
other. So far as the investigation
has gone, the governments attorneys
have not been at all severe with the
witnesses, and several have been per
jury to their standing. OF late, how
ever, some OF the witnesses have
tried to throw dust in the eyes of the
investigating party, and this proceed
Mre reached the limit when George
G.. Henry. representative Of a New
York company, declined to answer
questions which would reveal lust
what the government wanted to know.
1t hinged on the disclosing of the nam
es of t%wenty-fomr national bank offic-
ers who we're concerned in a deal to
clean up $4,000 in marketing the
stock of a petroleum company in
California. The deal was put through
successfully. and evidently without
much warrant OF law.
When Mr.. Henry declined emphat-
ically to give the knowledge asked
for by the government, the attorneys
thought there was but one procedure
left, and that was to certify the facts
to the House of Representatives,
where 1t would be determined as to
what curse shall be pursued in order
to lay a foundation whereby investi-
eating committees from the House
will be able to compel witnesses to
give the desired testimony in connec-
ton with it's legislative affairs.
1t would be an easy matter for
these men to snap their fingers in
scorn when the government attempts
TO make any Investigations of an af-
fair involving a big financial deal
with a strong question mark behind
~, and 1t is but a just matter that,
inasmuch as the public is pretty gen
orally directly interested in such a
matter, that authority should be
given an investigation committee to
compel, under criminal action, to
get the facts from the men who
know. 1t would not take but two or
three examples to make it under
stood that the government is serious
in this matter, and that it Is not be-
ing done merely to satisfy the de-
mands of the situation, but that
there is a desire to put an end to
financing watered deals whereby the
public buys most of the water.

thirty-tive or forty new residences
We're completed during the year.
These were scattered in all parts of
the city, each section being we'll re-
presented in the growth. The money
the sum of about 5000 which can
be considered as a very low estimate.
The people Of the city have every
reason to be proud of the record

reasonable that the progress of the
city into the higher class has just
been started. 1t has laid off its swad-
ding clothes and stands forth in the
radiance of its new apparel ready
to build its way into bigger things.
The Republican believes that there is
a spirit of unanimity among the peo-
pie of the city to give Mitchell the
benefit of every earnese endeavor
to help it grow and reach the posi-
ton to which it is entitled in South
Dakota.
There are good openings offered
IN the city to engage in enterprises
which are not represented. There is
a fine territory in Mitchell's trade
center for the development of big
enterprises, which We believe will

of the people will bring the result

CONGREGATIONAL ANNUAL
MEETING.

one OF the most pleasant events
in the history OF the Congregational
church occurred Wednesday evening
at six O'Clock, when the annual meet
ing OF the organization vas held. The
ladies OF the church converted the
spacious parlors into a beautiful ban
quet hall and prepared a b%ounteous
supper for the members and sup
porters of the church. One hundred
and fifty sat down to the tables dur
ing the evening. After supper the
business of the church for the year
was reviewed. The reports from the
various departments showed a de-
cided growth and Il healthy. active
condition. Rev. w. NJ. Mair gave a
detailed outline of the work done
during the year. and suggested some
of the things demanding attention
this year. Interesting discussions
We're held over matters pertaining
to the interests of the society. a fine
spirit of fraternity and optimism
prevailed throughout the proceedings
of the evening. Some OF the most
prominent men and women of the
city We're present. The church begins
the work of the new year under the
most favorable circumstances, and
that material progress will be made
and the high eXcellency of the work
maintained is the firm conviction of
all connected with the organization.
The meeting closed at d late hour
and all returned to their homes after

MITcHELL's YEAR OF GROWTH

nL --~
The annual review published in
The Republican yesterday showing
what this city has accomplished in
the building and Improvement line
can be read with a matter OF pride.
The review covers a wide range in
building in the business district and
1.-THE residence district. and demon
| strates the fact that the greatest
| kind of confidence is reposed in the
city's future. ut is probable that
Lmore new buildings We're erected last
year than in any one previous year.
At one time durinfi the sumemr six
brick buildings We're being erected
within a distance of 300 feet from
each other, which shows the %closeness
with which the business portion is
building up.
\ hC alIONIl VI itioAiNy oPphN ~
the construction of business build
ings was $4,000, with the Hotel
Nayin topping the list. followed by
the Broadbent building at $50. 900.
John Blenkiron is to be commended
for the spirit which prompted him to
fill up two orner in the business
district with fine three-story struct-
ures, one for retail business and the
other for the automobile business.
Mr.. Blenkiron spent $4,000 in these
two buildings.
The city council made the biggest
step in the history of Mitchell when
it started the paving proposition and
the cluster lights became a thing of
reality. Both have been anticipated
for several years. but the city was
unprepared for the installment of
these. When the time was ripe the
step was taken and the best pavement
suited to the needs of the city was
selected and installed. The step put
Mitchell over the line into a city of
more dignity and greater achieve
ments for the future. The influence
exerted by the paving of Main street
has had its effect in many ways since
it was completed, and thousands OF
people from all parts Of the state
and beyond it's borders had an oppor-
tunity to inspect the paving and other
improvements shortly after they were
completed last fall Just at the begin
ming of the corn palace season. The.
people went home from Mitchell with
a better impression of the city's flu
many the thought that the city Of
fered good advantages for a home
and business. The total amount eX-
pended in the city improvements
reached about $4,000.
