Fans Hostile Over
Sundays Ball Game

The Mobridge fans are pretty in
dignant over the class of ball
played on the local diamond last
Sunday between the Aberdeen
Moose team ard the local boys.
This team is the most expensive
one that has ever played on the
local diamond and put up the poor
est exhibition Of ball playing ever
witnessed here. except when an
Aberdeen team played here two
years ago and were trimmed to the
tune of II to ,.
The harsh criticism dealt out to
the Bloomer Girls by the Aberdeen
papers led the fans to believe that
they were going to see something
classy, as the Bloomer Girls put
up a pretty good game here and
the patrons were pleased with their
performance.
An exhibition such as the crowd
was called upon to witness Sunday
has done irreparable harm to the
local team as there are lot Of
good judges of bail among the
local fans, and when it became ap-
parent that the score would be Sc
to 2 if the local boys kept on play

simply left the grounds for home,

MOBRIDGE WILL HAVE THREE BIG DAYS OF CARNIVAL
Attractions AUGUST H. II

this year, as there is some keen
feeling against 1t.
Just how those low spots, where
the water stands knee high in the
east end Of the city, can be drained
without sewer is problematical
Last spring a sidewalk was pc
toned for, to be constructed along
Railway street from Michigan ave-
nue. to Main street. Publication
for a hearing was made and the
walk ordered in. This spring a
petition was presented to the cOun-
ell, signed by over 81 per cent of
the property owners along that
distance, praying that the walk be
ordered not to be put in. The re-
quest made in the last petition was
acted on and abided by.
The people who desired the walk
in ore quite indignant and can see
reason for their petition being side
tracked.
1t is very probable that the side
walk will be again ordered in this
year and constructed, as date of
hearing was set, bids called for and
the contract let, which places the
commissioners in a very delicate
position if they do no abide by
their first decision.

That an improved road will in
crease vastly the productiveness of
the area through which it runs has
now been satisfactorily demon
strated by studies conducted by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture in Virginia. Conditions
IN Spotsylvania county were in
yestlgated with particular care and
the results have proved surprising.
In 1909 the county voted 500, 900
to improve 40 miles of roads. Two
years after the completion of this
work the railroad took away in II
months from Fredericksburg, the
county seat, 200 tons of agri-
cultural and forest products hauled
over the highways to that town.
Before the improvement of roads
this total was only 40, 900 tons
annually; in other words. the
quantity of the county's produce
had risen more than 45 per cent.
IT'LL more interesting, however, is
the increase shown in the quantity
of dairy products. In 1909 these
amounted to ia, ,Sl5 pounds, in
1911 to 273,02S pounds, an in
crease Of practically 40 per cent
in two years. In the same time
time shipments Of wheat had in-
creased SO per cent, tobacco 81 per
cent, and lumber and other forest
products 4S per cent.
In addition to this increase in
quantity the cost of hauling each
ton Of produce was materially re.
duced. In other words. the far
mers not only produce more, but
produce more cheaply, for the cost
of transportation to market is of
course an important factor in the
cost of production. From this
point of view, it is estimated that
the 500, 600 spent in improving
the roads in SpOtsylvania county
saved the farmers of that county
81 900 year.
In the past two years the traffic
studies Of the federal experts show
that approximately an average of
%, 600 tons Of outgoing products
were hauled over the improved
roads in the county an average dis
tance Of miles. or a total of J2O.
600 ton miles. " Before the roads
were improved it was estimated
that the average cost Of hauling
was 20 cents a ton mile" after
the improvement this fell to II
cents a ton mile, " or a saving of
$ cents. A saving of $ cents per
mile on $4,000 ton miles is
- | 900 a year. The county's in.
vestment Of 800, 900, in other
words, returns dividend Of 40 per
cent annually.
Because the saving in cases of
this character does not take the
form Of cash put directly into the
farmers pocket, there is a wide
spread tendency to believe that it
is a fictitious profit, while as a
matter of fact it is Just as real
source Of profit as an increase in
the price of wheat.
In Dinwiddie county, Va, for
example, where peanuts are one of
the staple e. ,ps, the average load
for two mules on main road was
about 900 pounds before the road
was improved. After its improve
ment the average load was fouud
to be 1000 pounds, and the time
"ous9wed j.. hauling the iafger
load to market was much reduced.
In other words, one man with a
wagon ard two mules could do
more than twice as much w,J'fi4s'

WE WANT A LIVE TOWN
In Order Insure that Desire We Must Support Our Home nst
udons-Catalogue Houses Contribute Nothing to Support
of Any Rural Community

bCI uiI SCU tOSCOICl nbi hNip
to make our community live one
We all realize the consequences
of poor business, stagnation in
commercial affairs, depression Of
real estate values, low wages, etc.
What we want is plenty of bust
ness, money in circulation, a live
interest in the building OF houses,
the sale OF lots and acre property
and a Genuine, healthy condition Of
business in our community.
How shall we accomplish 1t?
Tie easiest thing in the world
Just keep our money in circula
ton, right here among ourselves.
and we will create our own pros
porous conditions.
In other words, let's patrOnize
our own business men instead of
sending our dollars TO the mail
order houses. Let's be loyal to
our own best interests instead Of
helping to bolster up the big mo-
nOpOlistic establishments that are
draining our resources Of all the
ready money in sight
1t is the aim of the big city mail
order houses to drive the small
town merchants out of business, so
that we will all be compelled to
send to the cities for our merchan-
disc. The big mail order houses
are spending thousands of dollars
every month to accomplish this
object.
They will do it, too, unless ne
are sensible enough to stop it!
1t is up to us to prevent the big
mail order houses from driving our
stOrekeepers out of business for
several reasons greater of
which are that our community will
be rubbed off the map if we have
no business concerns, and that our
ownership of property will not
amount to anything in this event.
The local stores, TO a rery la,ge
extent, make this tOwn The t0res
paid by our business men are the
principal support of our schools and
churches. 1t IS the tdreS paid by
our storeksepers that pay for the
local improvements, for the street
lighting, for fire protection and
for all other conn,unistic privileges
and protection.
If we permit the big mail order
houses to drive our business men
out of competition, what will we
have left? A place of empty store
buildings-an undesirable place in
which to live.
If the mail order houses accom-
plish their purpose it is possible
that railroad interests will decide
that there is not sufficient business
for the stopping of trains here eX-
cept for the purpose of changing
engines and obtaining supplies of
coal and water because there will
be no reason, then, for travelling
men to stay over in Our town and
no freight to be delivered to our
stores
In such case everyone would
be trying to sell his property, but
would find no buyers-fOr who
would think it a good investment
to buy property in dead town.
But this is just what we must
expect if we keep sending our dol
lars to the mail order houses. for
it is only the business of the town
