Erookjnos Cuts Area,

Brookings.-The city of Brookings
lost 1R per CEN of its population
and five-ninths of the area of it's town
site this week by action of its city
council. When incorporated about 30
years ago it embraced an area of nine
square miles, considerable of which
was, and still is, farming land. The
resident farmers have for a long time
claimed that the municipal taxes are
~burdensome and that they receive DC
compensatory benefits. The question
Of segregation has been ~agitated for
several years, which at last culmi
mated in the action of the council by
setting out five of the nine sections
of the city's land and attaching the
same to an adjoining township. The
school district will remain as it was
and the few families set out will not
be deprived of their school privileges,
While the city will lose a few hun
dreds of dollars in the way of munich
pal taxes, it will be compensated in
part by being relieved of the expense
of the upkeep of some eight miles OF
country road. The farm owners will
have to travel farther to cast their
votes and do not get the benefit of
the municipal telephone line.

more than he should attempt to show

This is a story-and -a-half cottage of
six rooms. 1t has a very artistic, home

that this house has been built complete
for 100000 using a good, substantial

desired for a house of this size. From
the front porch a square vestibule is
entered. To the left is the living
room, a good-size, home-like apart
ment, with an open stairway at one
side ascending to the second floor. A
novel feature of this design is the den,
which is really a part of the living
room, being connected with 1t by a
columned opening. The wide bay
window with built-in seat, makes this
little o very attractive indeed. The
dining room, kitchen, and pantry are
well arranged for housekeeping work.
On the second floor, two good-size
bedrooms are provided, each with a
large closet and storage space. A
bathroom is on this floor, opening
from the hall. For a small house, this
design Is well worth considering.

Investigations show that the ma.
jority of men working on salaries are
paying out ~one-quarter or more of
their entire earnings in rent. Take
paper and pencil, and sit down and
figure out what this rent bill amounts
the amount it comes to in ten years.
You will be almost appalled, at the
size Of the amount. In most cases 1t
is enough to buy outright a fine house
and lot, a valuable property that can
be made into a rea home.
But what has the renter to show for
this money at the end Of ten years?
Nothing but a big pile of rent receipts.
Nothing that he can call really his
own after paying out enough money
to buy the house. He has no more
right to il than the day he moved in,
and may be turned out into the street
any time his everlasting rent pay
ments are not made.
And after all, the investment fea-
ture, the money end of the PROPOSE
ton, is really of minor Importance
compared with some others. Parents
having the welfare of their children
at heart should make any sacrifice
needed to provide a real home for
them to grow up in. Think the de-
lights of the "Old Home" you once
knew. What fond memories cluster
about it! What an influence for good
that old place has been to you in your
life! You have looked back to it with
reverence, and have hurried back to
1t eagerly whenever there was a
chance. Home is the most beautiful
word in the English language. There
Is no place on earth like home.
What do you suppose your children
are to do for a home when you have
rented all your life, moving every year
or SO from one rented house t. the

HIS LIBRARY A SMALL ONE
As a Boy Lincoln Had Few opportu-
mites for the Acquisition of
Much Learning.

@@HEN Abraham Lincoln was
A a small boy, says ST. Mich
olas, he had very few
books. There was no need
- for him to consult a list of
the hundred best books. His earliest
possessions consisted of less than half
a dozen volumes-a pioneers library.
First, of course, was the bible, a
whole library in itself, if properly un-
Iderstood, and containing every sort
of observation-disclosures, poems, dramas,
addresses, orations, histories, some
simple enough for the youngest child,
others taxing the wisdom of the learn
ed. Second was Pilgrims Progress"
with it's quaint characters and vivid
scenes related in simple, vigorous En-
glish. "Aesop's Fables was a third,
and introduced the log-cabin boy to a
wonderful range of Characteristic
gods of mythology. the different ranks
and classes of mankind, and every
animal under the sun. Fourth was a
History of the United States, in
which there was the charm of truth
and a more modern tone, and from
which were learned the lessons OF
patriotism that Lincoln's manhood
put into action. Last came Weems'
Life of Washington" a queer, stilted
book, but one full Of detail that made
Washington cen a living example.
These five books were the begin
ming of Lincoln's education; and what
wise man has outgrown them all?
From the Bible, Pilgrims Progress,
and Aesop the boy Lincoln learned
the power and beauty of plain Eng
lish words, and saw that the grandest
thoughts and most poetic imaginings
needed only the strong little words
of every day. When, therefore, in
later life he wished to be sure he un-
derstood any matter, it became his
custom to translate it into words such
as a child can understand.
Read again the Gettysburg address
and second inaugural, and learn how
Lincoln could make the homespun
words of common use move the
hearts of his fellowmen.
Who will tell US what books were
read by other great men and women
OF the past when they were young
readers?"

Yards AIono the Milwaukee.

Mobridge.-A deal has just been
completed by which twelve lumber
yards operating in towns along the
Milwaukee road between Mcintosh, S.
D., and Marmarth, n. d., go out OF
business. At Mcintosh and Lennon
the Fullerton and Atlas yards give
way to competitors. At Haynes ~
D., the Central goes out. At Hettin8.
er, N. d., Quamman & Austad have
sold out. The Western yard has been
sold at Reeder, the McCaull-Webstei
yard at Gascoyne, N. d., and the
Breeden-Larson yards have been sold
at Scranton, Buffalo Springs and Bow
man, in North Dakota. An over sup
ply of yards in the town building dave
led to the decrease as the towns have
built.

The Great American,

First Great American was born in a

'Great men were not lacking in
America before Lincoln, but they

1t was left for Abraham Lincoln to
gather up and embody the character

vision and unfiinching purpose.
