Rural Life Conference Speaker
Urges Norwegians to Keep
South Dakota Farms.

Brookings, 8. d., July 13.--"There is
a weakness among the Norwegians for
selling their farms when offered a fair
price and then seeking new land far
Their west or in Canada. IL this pro-
cedure Is kept up the Norwegian peo-
PIE VIII be lost, as far as history ana
traditions are concerned in this coun-
try" The foregoing statement was
made by President J. A. Aasgaard, of
Concordta college, Moorhead, MIMI,
before a meeting OF Scandinavian
farmers In the South Dakota country
life conference at Brookings. He said
further.
THE Norwesians at present are set
Ting in the very best part Of the
United States and they should rather
try to make II possible for their chill
dren to keep the land they have cleared
and the homes they have built under
such enormous sacrifices. The free
homestead represents something else
besides free gift. 1t meant enormous
sacrifices both by men and women. to
bring about the culture and civilization
we have today In the northwest A
few dollars increase on an Investment
does not necessarily pay for the
amount of suffering and hardship that
brought our farming communities up
to their present standard"
As a remedy President Aasgaard
recommended that I'VE should make
serious effort to keep together the
people OF the same nationality who
have the same traditions and history
and common interests. Where such
settlements are kept up, II is possible
Tor them to maintain their churches
und schools properly. Arrangements
should be made to encourage people Of
the same nationality to buy the farms
of such as wish TO move, 50 that the
community spirit can be kept up and
the best traditions and culture OF Euro
pean nations finally handed down 10
our common American civilization"

Mitchell. s. D., July 15--Three hum
dred hoboes, riding into the city yes
terday morning on an early freight
from Sioux City, marched In body to
the city hall, demanding OF the police
force that they be fed Their demands
were refused by Chief OF Police Wood
Smith, who, angered by the refusal OF
the crowd to move out Of town, placed
their ring1eader under arrest. The
others, cowed by the show of force, re-
turned peaceabIy to the station and
were loaded on the boxcars going north
to Aberdeen. Hundreds OF hoboes and
harvest hands are daily passing
through Mitchell on their way north.
The demand. for harvest hands in this
vicinity has already been supplied.

Sioux Falls s. D., July Is.--Harvesting
operations have commenced in South Da-
kota, farmers In numerous localities now
being engaged In the work of harvesting
their rye, barley and oats crops which,
under the influence OF the warm weather
OF the past week, have ripened very rap
idly. Right on the heels OF the harvest
ing OF these crops will come the wheat
harvest, which Is expected to be general
in about 10 days or two weeks
Reports as to the character and volume
OF the general crop raised In South Da-
kota this season continue to be OF the
most encouraging character. In the state
at large all kinds OF small grain promises
to yield abundantly.
Corn continues to do well In all parts
of the state. The liberal rainfall Of June
pushed the crop ahead very fast, and II
continues to be about 10 days or two weeks
further advanced than customary at this
period Of the growing season. IL is the
general expectation that South Dakota
will this year prodpce tho largest corn
crop in its history.

enne basin is making preparations for the
harvesting OF the biggest crop that ever
was grown here. The rye harvest Is In
full blast and winter wheat cutting will
begin next week. Several fields Of wheat
promise yield of 30 to 50 bushels per acre.
Practically all the corn 10 laid. by and

eatoes are on the market and the melon
crop will be ready I'm about three weeks

worth that had we taken all the
trade we have had from your
stores, that your dry goods sales
would have been cut down more
than half. Am l right? Look
up your books.
The same rule will apply to
groceries. You had the same
pay roll then that you have now,
crops were just as good then as
they are now. There was not as
many stores to divide the trade
with as are now, but still you
are getting more dry goods bust
ness now than you did then.
Why is it? We will tell you, for
the simple reason that the ma
jority of people are going to the
town that has the greast number
of good stores and where they
THINK AT LEAST that the
merchants are wide awake and
deserving of their trade.
In conclusion, we desire to say
that we hold no malice against
any of you. Personally we like
you all, and we feel that you
have the same attitude towards
us. We have no doubt, that had
you taken the second thought,
you would have convinced your
selves that the action that you
took should have been the last
thing to do.
This letter is written purely on
information received from trav-
cling salesman, and is substan-
tiated by reason of the fact that
the Swift Packing Co. refused
to ship us any more of their
goods, Notwithstanding we ten
dered them the CASH in pay
ment of same.

only packers that sell meat and
lard? Did you ever stop to think
that by resorting to such means
to undertake to force people to
trade at your store and pay you
extortionate prices that you are
not only driving the trade from
your own store, but you are driv-
ing it away from the town, which
hurts us all. We are willing to
cooperate with you in any legiti-
mate way. We have been a
member of several merchants
associations, and derived great
benefits from them, but our by
laws would prohibit one or more
merchants to dictate to the others
the price at which they must sell
their goods.
We are all in business to make
money and not for our health,
and if we thought for one minute
that we could make more money
by selling our goods on credit,
and selling them higher, we most
assuredly would adopt that plan.
But we tried that method to our
hearts desire before we adopted
the CASH SYSTEM.
We would be glad to meet with
you any time to discuss the ad-
vantages of a Retail Merchants
Association, which would be the
best move we could make to bet
ter our conditions. We can prove
to you by your own books, that
close competition does not dam
age your business in the least,
but on the other hand helps it.
We will venture to say that there
is enough trade in our territory
that should come to Colfax to
trade, that goes to other towns,
to support two more good stores.
A retail merchants association
could find a remedy for this, and
a great many other things just
as important. No. gentlemen,
the prices that we are making on
our groceries are not hurting you
one bit, and to prove it to you we
will bet any one of you a twist of
Picnic tobacco that you have sold
more dry goods in the same space
OF time since Bloch and we OPEN
ed our stores than you did before;
and we will bet you two bits
