Ratlne Coat and Skirt.

A ratine suit, with shirt waists of
cotton crepe, wolfe, or washing silk,
makes a serviceable and smart sum-
mer outfit, n durable, comfortable,
and in style. 1t has the advantage
over linen because linen crushes,
while ratine shows creases and wrin-
kles very little. The dark shades are
suitable for street wear, and when
soiled can be ~laundered without
starch. It's price by the yard is rather
dear, but the material is &c inches
wide, needing only three and-a-half OF
four years for a coat and skirt.

George was famous for being late

COUNTRY WILL NEVER FORGET
No Possibility That Memorial Day
Can Ever Lose Its Great and
Holy Significance.

1t has often been said that with the
passing of the soldiers of the great
war between the states Decoration
Day would gradually die out. Predic-
tions have been made that the day
would lose it's significance and its
hold upon the American people and
finally disappear from the list Of holi-
days.
The argument is specious. but it
will not aold good in the test Of ex-
perience. The day set apart for hon
oring the dead heroes Of the nation
has ton strong hold upon the heart
and conscience and imagination Of the
country. 1t meets too natural a need.
A people freed by war and saved
for freedom by another long and ter
rible struggle can never cease to feel

ella, honor, however far their deeds of
daring and sacrifice may drift into the

tion another force of experts should

ton OF truly permanent systems of ag-

place for the county agricultural ad-
wiser to begin his work of assisting in
carrying direct to the farmers the
positive information and knowledge
which the state will then be able to
place at his command In one sense
all this may seem large undertaking,

pertinent station with 100000 a year
to be used solely in the work of secur-
ing information to be applied in the
adoption of permanent system of ag
riculture on twenty million acres of
farm land. or course the work could
and should be organized on a smaller
basis, but the growth of the organiza-

Study Your Soil Before Attempting a
System of Permanent Agriculture.

Study Your SOIL Before attempting a
System Of Permanent Agriculture.
If there are soils in Codington coun-
ty whose fertility and productive pow
er would be increased by the addition
to it of ground limestone, and if this
addition is essential for their perma-
nent preservation, then it is in the
interest of the present and future in
habitants of Watertown to see TO it
that some source of limestone is dis
covered; that the material is prepared
so that it can be delivered at the
farmers railway station at cost
which he is able to pay; and, of
course, any other material which may
become so deficient in the soil as to
limit the yield of the crops deserves
the same consideration.
Soil Is Back of All Success.
| need not emphasize the fact that
the soil is the basis of all industry,
and perhaps | need not remind you
that in the main American agricui-
ture consists in working the land for
all that is in it; and in the main the
better farming associations are like
ly to Burage a continuation of this
process, notwithstanding the fact that
il leads ultimately and inevitably to-
ward the land ruin and failure, both
for the country and for the city which
depends upon the country for prosper

organizations would set a new stand

For Permanent Good.

If. however, you are to bring about
the adoption Of truly permanent sys-
tens of agriculture, then you have
need for fundamental scientific knowl-
edge. such as can be secured only by
thorough and painstaking and consci-
entious investigation This work re-
quires particularly that the soils of
the county be surveyed and classified.
that positive knowledge be secured
concerning the composition of the va
rious soils in order to determine what
essentials are provided by nature in
inexhaustible quantities, and what
other essentials to crop production are
provided only in unlimited amounts,
and consequently must be restored to
the soil in the practice Of permanent
systems of agriculture. The sources
of such materials need to be inveSti-
gated; and, furthermore, definite pro
vision must be made for securing the
materials and placing them within
reach of the farmer when measured
by his financial ability"

Temporary Benefit.

The first result may be accom-

temporary way by encouraging the
use of better seed, more thorough till

and the use of limited amounts of

working all the while, however under
the plan and purpose Of getting the ut
most possible out of the soil without
making any truly adequate return.
