June will pass down in history as
one OF the rainiest and most stormy
months in many years. The storms
were unusually destructive for South
Dakota, several people being killed in
different parts of the state and the
property loss amounts TO several hun.
dred thousand dollars. Fortunately
does not make our sympathy for our
unfortunate n%eighbors less keen.

"That Million Dollar Look
Go and See This Wonderful Photo Play-to APP
near at "The Fad' and .'Pleasant Hour'

At our own private and personal expense we are bringing
to Brookings one of the greatest picture plays that has ever
been produced.
For years we have been waiting and hoping for some
book, or play, or sermon that would make clear the powerful
lesson that this picture shows. 1t is a lesson that means
greater uccess-business success, social success, personal
success to every man who will take it home to himself-and
apply it in his daily living.
We are bringing this picture to Brookings because we be-
lieve that every red-corpuscled American man who sees it can
reap a profit from it and become a bigger man through it
and we want to do our share to get it before as many folks
right here at home as we can. It's helped us-we want you
to enjoy its help, too.
We are not going to spoil your enjoyment. your thrill"
and your excitement by telling you here what the story is.
Wait and enjoy the surprise for yourself.
We are simply going to go on record with the statement
that it will grip you from the first exposure to the last scene
and make you say a hundred times: why wasn't this picture
ever thought of before?
Men have lost untold opportunities: have sacrificed dear
est ambitions; have handicapped the hopes of years, purely
and solely through a lack of the knowledge that this picture
wildly and dramatically imparts.
Men have euchered themselves out of big business gains,
have closed the doors to countless success chances. have
defeated themselves, not only in business, but in politics, in
society-YES! EVEN IN LOVE-because they never studied
and mastered the lesson that this picture makes clear to them.

to be sold and the building refur-
nished with modern furnishings,
the purpose being to make the

every particular. Several new
cottages will be erected on the
property, a new bowling alley will
be built and a deep well will be
bored to furnish pure water for
all purposes, the company having
a private water system which will
be extended to the cottages.
The improvements are to be
