Oscar Johnson, Ward Waltz and
John Van ~Laningham are camping at
Lake Campbell this week. The lake
is a popular camping place this sum
mer, and the shores are dotted with
tents.
Several citizens have boosted to us
of the fine cabbage they are raising in
their gardens, claiming that they have
heads weighing five or six pounds and
hard as a rock. AS they haven't
brought around any samples we are
inclined to take these claims with a
grain of salt.
The only way in this world to make
a community rich and prosperous is
to promote trade in it, both producing
and consuming. The nearer the con-
sumner is to the producer the better
both are off, and this takes cogniz-
nee of the fact that every living mar
is in some of his acts a producer and
in others a

The general fund is in good shape,
with s363,S75. The game fund balance
is s44,S9S, being less than a month

The county manager plan, which
provides for experienced man at a
instead of a board Of commissioners,
seems to have at least enough good
points in it to make it worthy of at
tention, says an exchange. There is no
reason why a county OF a city should
not have business methods applied to
it the same as a factory or wholesale
house.
Prof. C. Larsen, head of the dairy
department of the State College, has
recently been inspecting pit silos in
representative parts of the state
around Newell, Rapid City, and Rec
Heights. He reports that the silage
was we'll kept and in first class condi-
ton for feeding purposes. A large
number of farmers in the western part
of the state are building pit silos for
the coming season. The State Expert
ment Station does not as yet recon-
mend pit silos for the eastern part of
South Dakota, but they are undoubted-
ly placed where they will be success-
full.
The farmers have been very busy
with harvesting the past week and &C.
cording to all reports the grain is
showing up in fair shape. The hot
weather ripened it prematurely and
in some cases brought on the rust,
but this is almost altogether confined
to the wheat. This does lot worry
the farmers so much, as the wheat
acreage in Brookings county has been
steadily decreasing of late years. Oats
is probably the best of the small grain
crops. Corn is looking fine, but this
crop and potatoes, of which there is
quite an acreage, needs rain. The
present season has been a most un-
usual one and all things considered
the crop is as good as could be ex-
pected. Practically all of our rain
came in June and there was SO much
of it as to food the low ground, and
this was followed by excessive heat
and drouth.

The summer school at the college

If there is one trait in a man that We
admire above any other is when he
takes an open stand and fights loyalty

be right. We would not give a rusty

fellow who tries to be a friend of every

The banks of the western part are
now carrying the heaviest deposits in
their history, and one of the bankers
states the largest amount of this
money belongs to the farmers of this
section of South Dakota, and this in
spite of the fact that for three years
prior to 1914 this locality had short
crops. The increased prosperity is
due to dairying, which many farmers
have taken up. The average cream
checks cashed in one small town per
month ran from $4,000 to l 0,000.

The retail store as a way station in
the channels of trade is an indispens-
able factor in perpetuating the COM
mercial life of a community. With
the destruction of a commercial life Of
the central town or city of a commun-
ity all other forms of social life must
cease to exist because they all depend
upon commerce and trade. For this
reason the citizen needs the town fully
as much as the town needs the citizen.
Let him not suppose that in the few
packages he carries home from the
local store are contained all the things
he receives for the money he passes
over the counters of the local mer-
chants. Substantially all the COM
forts and conveniences of modern
civilized society are passed out to him
in return for his p%atronizing his home
merchants. The surest way to deprive
himself of those facilities and environ
ments that make life worth living is to
withdraw his patronage from the local
town.

Vera Cruz, Mexico.-General Car,
rama has instructed his Vera Cruz
representative, Heriberto lara, I'd
use every possible means to prevent
the escape Of Huerta. Sonora lara on
Wednesday confirmed the report from
Tampico that the rebels have sent a
body of picked men in disguise to
Mexico City for the purpose not only
OF preventing Huerta's escape, but
also to protect the dictator from as
~sassination.
Two of these men have obtained
employment as palace guards and
others have enlisted in General Blan;
quet's famous Twenty-ninth regiment,
the nucleus of the brigada da los
Supremos Poderes," Huerta's chief
reliance.
Senior lara say the rebels wish
above all things to prevent the as
%sassination of Huerta.

said. IF he escapes we will demand
his return as an embezzler, defaulter
and murderer. l believe the Ameri-
can people will support the demand
that Huerta be not classed as a po-
litical offender.
I'VE are prepared to prove that
Huerta has stolen 20, 900, 900 pesos.
Some Of these funds are deposited in
New York banks. Rafael Zubaran is
tracing the accounts there"
General Jesus Carranza, now at
Tampico, is quoted as saying that a
dozen offers to kill Huerta have been
made to his brother, Venusiano, all OF
which have been rejected.
