dad" Wills, as he is famil-
iarly known to the people in this
part of the country, came to
Montana in the year 1884 as
manager of the Beaver Creek
Land Go. He came from that
glorious southern state Of Ken
lucky, where he had been born
and reared. In 1899 he engaged
in the cattle business for him
self and stayed in this business
until just a few years ago when
he sold out. In 1904 he pur-
chased 5000 acres of railroad
land in Dawson county, just
north Of Wibaux, and he still
owns about 3, 500 acres. Since
1909 he has made Wibaux his
home and has spent most Of his
time in training standard bred
horses. He is one of the best
horsemen in this section, and
when it comes to developing
young animals all train ars in the
east and west have to take off
their hats to Dad" as he can
get them to their speed quicker

than any trainer on the circuit.
He is considered the most sue
cessful breeder Of standard bred
horses in Montana. In 1910 he
sold a horse to Judge Loud Of
Miles City, which the Judge
considers the best animal in
Montana, and this was one of
Dad horses which he himself
raised and trained. Mr.. Wills
is a self-made man when one
considers that in the bad winter
Of 1869 he lost a fortune
which he had tied up in cattle
and the most Of them perished.
But he never gave up, and today
he has his extensive land inter-
ests and amuses himself by
training horses for the circuit.
He is getting old but still drives
his own horses at the various
races during the summer
months. Dad Wills is a Wi
baux booster and he takes con-
siderable pride in seeing Wibaux
pull to the front every day.

Baker DoWned
By DenniSiteS

A committee from Baker held
a big rally at the Dennis school
house on last Friday evening,
Nov. 7th, Judge Williams Of
Baker doing the speaking on be-.
half of the Baker bunch. The
only real point which the Judge
brought out was that Baker
should be the county seat of
Fallon county, because it is on a
trans-continental railroad ana
because Ex-Governor Van SAINT
of Minnesota mad once stopped
off at that place between trains.
AS near as We can learn, Judge
Williams failed to mention
whether Van SAINT had loaned
any money on the gumbo flats
or not, but we presume that he
did not or the genial Judge
would have mentioned this fact,
as he was very short on argu-
ment in favor of the Baker
proposition. The people around
Dennis are wondering whether
an inventor from the east or
west, after carefully looking
over the county records and
meeting the county officials,
would come clear up to Dennis
to look over the fertile lands or
would go out from Baker to the
gumbo flats and become dis
gusted and return to give the
county officials another look
over, and then leave for their
homes entirely satisfied with the
officials and tickled over the fact
that they had failed to invest
their money without looking
over the fact that they had
failed to invest their money
without looking over the no.
torious gumbo fats. Judge
" illiams failed to mention
whether Baker had received her
souvenir copper collar yet or
not.
The Edgehill meeting was just
a repetition of the Dennis one,
but the main trouble there was
that they failed to get a Baker
supporter to act as chairman,
and so K. B. Meekley, a Dennis
booster. kindly consented to
hold it down for them. After
Judge Williams remarks the
chairman gave the people nice
little talk, and he seemed to
bring ont more real points in
in favor of Dennis than Speaker
Williams did in favor Of Baker.
There was no vote taken at
either place, as Judge Williams
had good reasons for not wish
ing one. Taking everything IN
consideration, the people out at
these places were more than
ever convinced that Dennis
should BE the county seat of Fall
lon county.

Jim Hill Gives
Good Advice

The following article writ
ten by James j. Hill, the En-
pire Builder, we take from the
Commercial News, and one will
find many important features
in it which ought to be suffic-
lent to convince anyone what
buying at home will do for the
community.
September 11th, 1913.
Mr.. +. j. Mannix, Pub.
The Commercial News,
Sioux Falls, S. ID.
Dear Sir:-Your favor of
July thirty-frst was duly re-
ceived. The local market in ev-
cry community is the key Of the
situation.
II it is well patronized, and,
II in turn, it's patrons can buy
and sell there advantageously,
the arrangement is a powerful
aid to the upbuilding of local
interests and the steady in
crease Of home prosperity.
The growing custom Of order
ing from some distant concern
for ordinary consumption that
could Just as we'll be purchased
from the local merchant is one
of the influences causing the
disproportionate growth Of
onr cities at the expense Of the
country and the small town.
10 correct this evil, both
parties should cooperate. The
local merchant should keep in
touch with other markets and
prices, SO as to offer good quail
ity and favorable terms.
He can do this, because his
lower expenses fully balance
the advantage which the big
concern may have through buy
ing and selling in large quan-
titles.
If he does not keep an article
in stock, he should be prepared
10 supply it in as short time
and at as low a price as it can
be obtained elsewhere. He
cannot expect to hold his trade
at the customers expense.
Conversely, the buyer should
always remember that, other
things being equal, it is money
in his pocket to buy at home.
By that he encourages home
effort, builds up home indus
try, improves the home mark
ct for what he sells, and keeps
the money of the community at
home.
1t makes a vast difference to
people whether the profits from

Executive Agent Rider, of the state
game and fish commission, has been a
visitor on the range within the week.
Mr.. Rider met a good many people
and all did what they could to impress
him with the fact that better protec-
ton for game and fish in this Sec
ton of the state is much desired.
There has been something of a shake
up in the commission during the past
month, and it is hoped it will have a
good effect on the situation generally.
Above everything else, however, one
thing stands out; northern Minnesota
is not getting the attention it deserves
from the state game and fish commits
sion. It is perhaps true that the ad-
ministrative department is hampered
by lack of. funds. However, it
would appear that the better thing to
do would be to put more of the game
wardens in the southern section of the
state on a reward basis and have more
Of the salaried men stationed in this
section, which most of all needs the
protection of capable wardens for the
conservation of its game and fish.

Ravi1inu Socialists and SOcia ism

Reviling Socialists and Socialism is
the fashion with a good many people
who have slight idea what they are
talking about but evidently feel that
it is necessary to make some kind Of a
noise. Thinking people do not revile
socialism. It is one of the most pow
erful of present day influences; it is
one of the most beautiful theories that
has ever been advanced through the
medium of political propaganda. A
good many will never espouse the doc
trines of socialism for the simple rea-
son that they do not believe them
practical, and there is little practical
precedent to prove the contrary. The
socialists have a good many extrem-
lists in their ranks, but after all they
are a wholesome influence in present
day politics and whether we agree
with them or not it is we'll always to
remember that the other fellow has a
viewpoint to which he is entitled and
in which, while he may be mistaken,
he may also be very sincere.

OUTLOOK IN THE
EAST is OPTIMISTIC

S. M. Lippman, of the Minnesota
Dry Goods Company, returned Mon
day evening from two weeks buying
trip to the east, during which he >is-
tied New York, Boston and number
of other eastern cities. Mr.. Lippman
says that the business outlook in the
east from the standpoint of the whole
salers is optimistic, and the prospect
of tariff revision seems to have no ef-
feet on trade. Garment makers and
factories contributing to the stocks
of the dry goods and ready-to-w.a,
trade are rushed with orders and
wholesalers generally express salts
faction with conditions. Mr.. Lippman
bought new stocks for the Virginia

1t is becoming the popular thing to
do with the delegates to the numerous
national conventions that meet in Du-
luth during the summer to make aside
trip to the ranges. Virginia has been
getting some fine advertising this
year in that way. The hotel men and
the railroad men are coming this week
and Virginia people have nothing to
lose by sending them away with the
impression that in addition to this be-
ing the liveliest town in the northwest
it is also one of the most hospitable.
The local officials Of the Canadian
Northern, the Commercial Club Off
GERS and others are doing good deal
to advertise Virginia in this way and
their efforts are generally appreciat-
ed. And one of these days Virginia
might land a national convention for
herself.
