First Aid to Homesteaders,

White River.-Progressiye home
steaders Of this portion Of the new
county Of Mellette. which, until two
years ago, was embraced i'll the Rose
bud Indian reservation, with the aid
of the White River Commercial club,
have taken preliminary steps to or
ganize a cooperative association with
the object of securing and selling cows
TO homesteaders on the installment
plan, in order to enable them to re-
main in the country after they have
made final proofs on their home
steads. One Of the stated obstacles
to h development Of a new country
is the practice Of many homesteaders
of leaving their land as soon as they
lave made final proof. 1t will be the
object Of the proposed cooperative as
ISOLATION to furnish COWS to such
homesteaders as cannot pay for them
III one payment, and permit them to
maxi payment in installments.

building, the famous Champs hotel"
wherein negotiations took place, is
now occupied by a large and very up
to-date shop.
Time was when Client rivaled Ven
ice in romantic interest. Made great
by wars in the fifteenth and sixteenth
centuries, la vile de F1ore,' as she
was then known, was queen Of north
ern Europe. The Whitehoods of Client
marched 10000 strong into battle.
Emperor Charles ", of warlike repute,
had no prouder possession. Francis
l. of France, made a boast once that
he could set Paris down in the midst
of Client. The old town gave to Eng
land John Of Gaunt, "time-honored
Lancaster"
Though her historical greatness is
gone, Client has lost none of her rom
antic charm. A score of fine century
old towers stand witness to past fame.
The music of her Ginning bells, the
silent rivers and canals are undis-
turbed by the hum and hustle of mod
ern commerce. Wonderfully preserved
are her ancient monuments, public
buildings, churches and castles. Riv-
ers and canals cut the city up into
Is different Islands, and no less than
IS bridges span her waters.
Standing at the confluence of the
Lys and Scheldt. encircled by gar
dens Of bright. vari-colored flowers,
Client is a rarely picturesque spot.
She trades in cotton and linen goods:
has huge engineering works; and does
business in coal, timber and phos-
pilates. Up her canals from the sea
alone come yearly a million tons Of
merchandise.
While a considerable portion OF the
town is modern, much remains TO re-
call the days when Burgundy and
Flanders were proud to have the ale
glance Of this great, prosperous, and
almost Independent city.

Sioux Falls.-Since collections have

Legislature. the objectors to the meas
ure are becoming very vociferous in
their attitudes. Among other things
the question is repeatedly asked as
TO where the demand emanated for
such legislation. 1t is declared, with
much emphasis, that the suggestion
for the auto tax law, or for the state
highway commission, did not come
from any very considerable number
Of the residents Of South Dakota.
During the early days Of the effort
to secure the establishment of the
state highway commission, few mem
bers Of the legislature took the prop
osltlon very seriously and not two
members Of the assembly expected to
see the proposed law enacted. Ben NJ.
Wood, who has been named as a
member of the highway commission.

the measure.

numbers is a mystery. Under the
new law it is necessary for each au-
tomobile owner to secure two new

owner about 81 each. AS the total

measure, for temporary relief, in in
terest of labor until better opportu-

government. This law went into effect
July first and is called the State BIZ
reau Of Information act. Anyone, un-
der this law, can write or telephone
the register of deeds at any county
seat OF his or her want pertaining to
employment, as employer or employee
in any line, or their desire to purchase
or sell any kind of live stock or ce.
reals and seeds. All this information
is sent daily from each county to the
state commissioner, who brings to-
gether the man and the job, and the
buyer and the seller, by notifying
each by postal card. This is done
free of charge to either party of the
transaction.
If one wants a teacher, %stenogra-
pher, hired girl. carpenter or hired
man, or someone to come and bid
on live stock, corn or seed grain in
South Dakota, n needs only to COM
municate his wants to the register
of deeds in any county.
In short, the law provides the OPP
portunity of free, general. statewide
information. so that labor can find
employment; employers may find la
borers; sellers may find buyers, and
buyers may find sellers.

Yes, if we had had twenty Of these
calves we could have sold every one
for any way three times what it cost
to produce them. Again, this is a
fine place to market your grain: 1t Is
convenient and handy. The labor is
distributed over the entire year. All
would take pleasure in having some
thing on the farm to admire. The
boys would stay at home, providing
they had an interest, and there would
