A campaign for additional business
has been inaugurated by The First
Bank and Trust company of this city.
In this issue of the Hustler-Democrat
an announcement is being made on the
front page of the plans proposed by
the bank. Five good reasons are mem
toned why a person should do bank
ing business with The First Bank and
Trust company.
This bank has always placed a high
value upon advertising space in the
Hustler-Democrat. The officers OF
this bank have nearly all been identi-
lied with the institution since its early
beginning. They have been instru-
mental in the growth of Henderson
vile and Henderson county, and are
TO-DAY offering every i~nducemenr
consistentowith sound banking prin-
ciples to place the banking business
in their hands.
This bank is really an arcade of bus
mess departments usually connect
ed with most of the large banks of the
country, namely, a real estate depart-
ment, a trust department and insur-
ance department. Efficient, %congenial
managers are at the head of each de-
rartment assuring as good treatment
as can be found anywhere.

AGRICULTURAL DAY.
Schools of Country Urged to Have Ru-
raj Life Day.

So fundamental is the upbuilding
of rural life, in the opinion of DR..
F. P. Claxton, United States COM
missioner of education, that the OBJ
servance in the schools of one day
each year as Agricultural and RiI-
raj Life Day" should become a ma
tional custom, instead of being con-
fined to a few states, as at present.
I'VE can do without some of our an
uiversaries, if need be" says DR.. Clax-
ton, ito have time for this, the most
fundamental of all. The children in
u schools should be given an oppor-
tunity to pause in their regular work
and consider the significance of agri-
culture and rural life; the worth and
worthiness of tillage of the soil; and
the beauty and glory of simple and
Sane life in the open country
DR.. Claxton points out that in sew

Life Day" has already been introduced

terial that can be used by teachers
and others in arranging an interesting
program.
Fittingly prefaced with the "Coun-
try Boys Creed" the bulletin includes
sections OF mans struggle for food;
the application of science to agricul-
ture;; men influential in improving
agricultude-from George Washington
down through Luther Burbank, Liber-
t. H. Bailey and other present day
men; our domestic animals; and a
study of forests.
How vegetables have been used as
medicines among different peoples;
Dreadmaking through the ages; the
mysteries of mother earth; the
origin Of good plants; cooperation
among farmers; wonders of a single
acre-these and other topics teated
With special reference to clarifying
country life. Following each discus
sion there is a list of suitable poems
and songs on farming and farm life.
What we've tried to do" said De.
Claxton yesterday, els to get together
in convenient form faterial that will
help in the movement for appreciation
of the true value and beauty of farm
life among all classes of our popula-
ton. The wider observance of Agri-
! culture and Rural Life Day, both in
city and country schools, will give the
coming generation a clearer insight
than the past has had into the fact that
there is no more honorable work In
life than that on the farm.

Found TwOSkeletOns

Ortonville journal: While
trimming the sides of the cut at
Big Stone, Monday two skele-
tons lying side by side, about
two feet underground were un-
earthed. They were supposed
to be the skeletons of Indians
buried there years ago. but
Judging from the shape Of the
skulls there is some question IS
to whether or not they were
Indians. The bones are. well
preserved and the teeth in the
jaws are in a perfect state of
preservation. The condition Of
the bones indicate that they
have lain in the ground for per-
hsps fifty or sixty years, and
may be the remains of old FROM
tiersmen who we're breaking the
way for settlement at that time
in q wilderness OF wild beasts
and savages. No one will ever
know the history connected with
these remains, whether they be
white men or Indians, The book
is closed and will always remain
q secret. One of the skeletons
was brought to Ortonville and is
now on display at FEaehlich 3
pool hall, where it will keep mid
night vigil with the ivory balls.

The City Saloon
Sisseton Mayor ]. z. Knapp Tells That
Profit will be Over $4,000
For the Year 1918

John c. Knapp, mayor of
Sisseton, while in town last
Friday, and talking of the saloon
question in his town. said that
there are many people watching
with considerable interest the
experiment of Sisseton in grant
ing license to only one man who
is paid a regular salary and
turns the profits of the business
into the city treasury and the
good roads association, half and
half. While there are
those who object to having the
city 60 into the saloon business,
this is nothing more than what
the city does under the license
system, with this difference in
favor of the Sisseton plan that
instead of the profits being di-
vided between the saloon keeper
and the city, the whole amount
is turned over to the public, and
the bar keeper sharing none of
the profits has no incentive to
push his trade by selling doctor
ed liquors, by selling to men al
drunken, by selling at forbidden
hours and breaking the laws in
other way, in fact his position as
bar-keeper depends upon his
observance of the requirements
of the law, and there is no per
sonai gain or advantage to him
to violate the laws, city or state.
If the saloon is necessary evil
and men continually vote it upon
the community the Sissetonplan
is better in every way than the
private ownership of the saloon
under q license for the personal
profit of the saloon keeper. If
the saloon is productive ofpublic
evil, and this is not disputed by
intelligent people, then the pub.
lie should receive any remunera-
ton the institution has to offer
for the evil that it produces.
Mr.. Knapp states that the in
dications are from the receipts
and expendintt 'Vhe 6isse-
ton saloon there viii have been
turned over at the close Of the
year something like $4,000 as
profits Of the business for city
and good roads use.
