If the quantity and quality OF
the Ignite coal in the mines at
Isabel are as great as claimed
by the mine owners there is
unequalled opportunities in Oper-
ating the mines for eastern capital
seeking profitable investment.
One OF the greatest dra wbaeks III
the past against the use OF Ignite
has been the lack OF stoves and
furnaces that would give good re-
suits from the use OF this kind of
coal This handicap is icing over
come and the use Of the coal is
being more generally understood
and appreciated and it will not be
great deal longer before the peO-
pie of the northwest will fully
realize the fuel value OF the Ignite
coal.

LOWER FREIGHT RATES
ISABEL L|GN|TE COAL
Isabel Coal Mine Owners Meet With
State Railroad Commissioners At
Pierre. Expect Lower Rate

Messrs. w. B. Patterson and f..
A. Robbins, owners OF large
Ignite coal mine near Isabel, were
in the city Wednesday night while
on their way home from Pierre,
where they attended a meeting OF
the state railway commissioners.
The question of lower freight rates
on the Isabel coal received a hear
ing at this meeting Of the commits
siOners.
The commissioners have been
securing information in regard to
this matter for several weeks past
and at the hearing in Pierre this
week completed their work. In
view of the fact that the head
officials of the Milwaukee road
wired that they would meet with
the commissioners about the 10th
OF this month and indeavor to
make satisfactory settlement of the
rate question, without taking the
matter before tie courts or inter
state commission, the state com
nissioners withheld their decision,
1t is to be hoped that Il lower
rate will be granted by the Mil
waukee and the reduced rate put
into force at once.

Increase Crop Yield

In an address before the Nat
ional Grange at Manchester, \.
H., Secretary of Agriculture David
Houston declared that less than
twelve per cent Of the lands in this
country are made to produce their
maximum OF crops.
This small percentage is not the
fault OF the soil but is due to the
poor methods Of cultivation adopt
ed by the farmers. Too many
farmers try t0gwork larger fields
than their equipment will permit
them to cultivate properly. They
fail to make close and careful
study of the soils, the productive
ness of their seed and the con-
ditions that govern its growth, fail
to properly plant the seed and care
for it until it natures, aud then
they generally attribute the failure
to reap good crop to the soil
conditions.
Through the constant efforts OF
the national and state agricultural
departments, the state agricultural
colleges, farm papers and the state
experimental farms the farm own-
ers are being brought To "a reali'
Zat;on OF the fact that it Is to their
own best interest to cultivate their
land in "a proper manner and
thereby increase the crop yield
The passing of each year witnesses
decrease in the number
of farmers who cultivate their
land without method or study.

Public Skating Kinks.

A num Der of towns are consider
ing establishing public ice skating
rinks for use during the coming
winter. This is a good move and
one that is worthy Of adoption by
the city commissioners of Mobridge.
The rink could be established in
one of the vacant lots, at small
cost and would be the means OF
providing good clean and healthy
sport and recreation for the young
people Of the city.

Visit The Schools

The passing Of time shows that
the MObridge school board were
verv fortunate in securing a
capable and efficient corps Of i'll
structOrs for the city schools this
term. Superintendent Il. w.
Thompson and his assistant teach
ers are working hard for the ad-
vancement of the pupils under
their care and for the betterment
of the school and it is plain to be
seen That their efforts are pro.
ductivs Of good results.
The work of teacher in a pub.
lie school, at its best, is hard and
constant but the labor can be con-
siderably lightened if the parents
OF the children in the school will
lend their assistance and cooper
ate in the work.
One of the best forms OF en-
cOuragement, enjoyed and ap-
preciated by both teachers and
pupils, is for the parents to fire.
quently visit the school room.
Praise, when the praise is due,
criticize, when the criticism is just
aud deserved. BY doing this you
will show that you are interested
in the school work, receive much
personal benefit yourself and ell
courage the teachers and children
to make a success of their work sc
that they may meet your approval.

Give Thanks For What You
Have

Next Thursday, November 9th,
mas been designated as day Of
Thanksgiving for the people OF
the United States and, we in South
Dakota, along with the rest OF the
country, have much to be thank
full for. True, the crops may not
have come, up to our expectations,
business returns may have been
l,ss than we anticipated, but
financial success is only part of the
things that are necessary and go far
toward making our happiness COM
plete. Good health and peace Of
mind are far more essential to our
welfare than abundance OF wealth.
The people of South Dakota are
not in want for food, they have suf.
tiient wealth 10 purchase clothing,
fuel and other necessaries OF life,
as a whole they are enjoyiE. good
health.
In view of these facts we feel
that the Divine blessings have
been freely bestowed upon Us dur.
ing the past year and that it is but
fitting that we join in returning:
thanks on Thursday. November

Late reports from New York say
that eggs are 75 cents a dozen in
