Where the West Begins

We this week received the follow
ing lines from young lady home
steader who is now in Kansas City,
Kansas. We receive a number of
letters from former homesteaders
and almost without singls exception
they are yearning for their former
Mellette county homesteads and some
are real sorry that they left because
the larger cities are overcroweded
with unemployed and as a result
some are meeting with dire distress.
Chasing rainbows is delusion and a
snare and you had better stick right
here in Mellette county and make
good. The young lady in her letter
says "After being with you people in
the west and coming back to this big
city will write a few lines to one
and all. No one knows how lonely
we get except us homesteaders who
prove up anu leaVe.
Out where the hand clasps a little
stronger.
Out where a smile dwells little
longer.
That's where the West begins.
Out where the sun is a little brighter.
Where the SHOWS that fall ara little
whittier.
Where the bonds of home are a wee
bit tighter.
That's where the West begins
Out where the skies are trifle bluer
Out where friendships are little
truer.
That's where the West begins
Out where fresher breeze is blowing
Where there's laughter in every
streamlet flowing
| Where there's more reaping and less
sowing
That's where the West begins
Out where the world is in the makins
Where fewer hearts in despair ar,
aching
That's where the West begins
Where there's more of singing ant
less Of signing
Where there's more Of giving and les
Of buying
And man makes friends withou
half trying
That's where the West begins

They tlaVe Arrived.

Our complete line of Calendars,
Wall Pockets and fans for the 1916
trade have arrived and we are now
ready to show you samples and book
your orders. Our line this year is a
strictly American lire, and it is the
first time in all our calendar exper-
ience that we have not been able to
show our customers imported goods,
but it is better thus, for when you see
our line of samples you will say it is
the most beautiful and best collection
you ever saw. Our prices are abso-
luteley right, as low or lower than the
eastern houses dare quote, SO therei is
absolutely no reason why you should
place your orders with an eastern
concern. Leave your money in the
Rosebud, place your calendar order
with us and in returnSwe will guaran-
tee you as good work, as good prices
and as nice q selected line of samples
to select from as you may expect to
see anywhere. Buy American made
goods and buy them in the Rosebud.

Grounds OF The MoIitor Contest

AS intimated in our news columns
last week, r. 81. Molitor of Winner,
the defeated Republican candidate
for representative for this district,
comprising the counties of Trip,
Mellette and Bennett, has contested
the seat of Cary A. Donohue, the sue
cessful Democratic candidate, on the
alleged ground that large number
of Sioux Indians in Bennett county
voted for Mr.. Donohue who were not
citizens of the United States. It is
claimed that the contest relies upon
the provisions Of the Burke act OF
May, 1906, in sustaining that posi-
tion.

Farm Credits System Neeeed.

st. Joseph, Mo.-Farm wealth Of
the United States, estimated at
$4GOO0,OO0 900, should be the basis on
which the prosperity Of the country
retss permanently, yet there is no
adequate law under which to finance
the farm. That was the condition
described here last week at the Inter
state Agricultural Congress by w. c.
Brown, former president of the New
York Central Railroad.
"The establishment Of farm credits
is now one of the most important
questions before the nation" Mr..
Brown said. 1.-THE farmer is paying
twice the interest he should. Long
time loans at low rate would enable
the farmer to properly finance his
work and it is this financing upon
which depends to large degree the
prosperity Of the country.

65 and over

There are nearly two and half
million widows above forty-fiye years
of age, and it is safe to say that near
ly half of them are dependent upon
relatives and charity. 1t is safe to
ay that good portion of the ten
thousand real young widows had no
insurance to fall back upon. Their
chances for remarriage are good but
If they have child to care for, want
has likely stared them in the face.
The remaining number, the widows
or middle age, probably are better
provided with life insurance and pro-
perty, but on the other hand they
are more likely to be mothers of a
number of children not yet able to
care for themselves.
Unfortunately we do not know how
many Of these widows lived upon the
farm when widowed. But the fact
remains, too many husbands are inn
provident concerning the likely Wild
owhood ofItheir wives. Each thinks
of course he will live and provide for
his wife, but mo man knows when the
summons will come to stop work.
Some will argue that they are too
poor to take out life insurance. That
is Just the man who must do so at
any sacrifice. He is the one who
leaves the widow destitute. No man
has right to marry girl and not
provide for her during his life. No
less is the obligation binding after
death. Successful Farming.
Being the local representative Of
The Reliance Life Insurance Co., of
Pittsburgh, Pa, ewould be glad TO
texplain theirVery liberal policies to

Railroad Dope

At this season of the year our read
ers are very anxious for so-called rail
road news, and we are always anxious
Ito give them all the information
along this line possible. The follow
ling appeared in the Sioux Falls Daily
Press in a recent issue under a Col
ONE date line, and while we do dot
put much faith in railroad extension
rumors at this time, on account of the
'condition that confronts the railroads
in general of this country in finan-
cial way, yet we would be only too
glad to have the opportunity to pub
lish an announcement from the pres
ident of the Northwestern stating
that the extension would actually be
built during the present year. The
fact is we need that railroad, and
this country will never reach the full
measure OF prosperity, progress and
development that it is entitled to un-
til we get railroad facilities. The
item referred to is as follows.
Colome, S. D., Dec 23.-Special:
The residents of the western Sec
tion OF the Rosebud country have Sc
cured information of an apparently
reliable nature which indicates that
the Chicago and Northwestern rail
way company will entend its line
westward from Winner, which has
been the terminus of the western ex-
tension for some time. How far the
extension will go has not been de-
termined, but it is believed the line
will be extended the remainder of the
distance through Tripp county and
into Mellette county. Mellette coun-
ty was opened TO white settlement |
only comparatively short time ago. |
The new line will extend through a
region which has been without rail
road communication and will benefit
a largo number OF townspeople, home
steaders and ranehers. The region
which is without railroad facilities
has number of small towns and the
homestead lands of the region are
nearly all settled. tits expected that
,s result of the extenfion of the rail.
.oad the new towns will be greatly
and will grow rapidly andt
hat the territory will become import
mt in the way of crop production in
he future.

Last weeks Mellette County News
made the statement in its comment
on the incoming county officials that
c. w. Kerlin, the new county auditor
had promised to conduct that Office
without the assistance of deputy. In
an interview with Mr.. Kerlin he said
that he never made any such promise
and was at loss to know why the
Editor of the News put him in such a
wrong light. The fact is that the
county Auditor, under the law, does
not get sufficient salary. The law
allows salary of but $50 per month
and this salary is discounted at from
5 to Z per cent. The county Auditor
is perhaps one of the heaviest Offices,
requires as much or more real work
than any other Office in the county,
end if there is any Office i'll the coun-
ty that really does require deputy it
most certainly is the county auditors
office. Personally we believe that the
laborer is worty of his hire, and yet
we realize that economy must be
practiced in the administration of the
county's affairs, but we also believe,
that under the law the County Audi
tor is greatly underpaid and really is
entitled to deputy under existing
conditions.

AN ASSOCIATION TO ASSIST AND
 ENTERTAIN THE BLIND TO BE FORMED

On Sunday afternoon at 4:90 at the council chamber. city hall, a meeting has been called to organize an associa- ton for the assistance and entertain ment of the blind.
 Helen Keller says, "The curse of the blind is not blindness but idleness.'
 Forty-five percent of all blind per sons are between 20 and 49 years of age. It is a great service to cheer such unfortunates, some form of treats. simple gifts made for the blind, special affairs and reading to the blind, will be the undertaking of this band Concerts given by volunteers is part of the programme. Individual care will be given. It is wonderful how a whole family improves under the stimulating thought that somebody cares. Blind workers through this association can find an outlet for their handiwork.
 Should anyone of your acquaintance know blind person send their name at once to Miss Clara Kaufman, 1908

T should like to help the woman who wishes to flatten her knitted rug, Ten her to lay the rug fiat, cast on 5o stitches of two or more colors; divide the colors into five or ten of each color.

CONSUMPTOL is harmless vege- table compound, made of ingredients that kill germs and soothe and heal the diseased tissues. And best of all
 CONSUMPTOL. is not taken as drug in liquid or solid form, but is inhaled with the steam from boiling water Now doesn't that sound reasonable? ln- stead of having medicine lose most or it's effectiveness by coming all the way through the system, Consumptol Is breathed in directly on the diseased portions, so that it gets in its healing work easily and immediately.
 CONSUMPTOL Is a valuable cure for Asthma, Consumption, Catarrh. Coughs. Colds, Bronchitis and other forms of Lung, Throat and Nose diseases.

Helps m the Kitchei,

When cooking cabbage never add salt to the water. as it toughens it. Instead when the water is boiling add a pinch of soda. Add the salt five minutes before serving 1t. A little pinch of salt improves everyt thing-tea, coffee, ice cream, pud- dings, apple sauce, and all sweet dishes. If spinach is lifted from the water in which it is boiled with a perforated spoon the grit that cannot be washed out will stay at the bottom of the vessel and can be thrown out later. If cream will not whip add the white of an egg. Let both become thoroughly chilled before whip ping Keep cold until ready to serve. To nicely chopped boiled carrots add table spoonful of finely chopped parsley, good tablespoon of butter, salt and pepper; and those not caring for carrots alone will like this dish. The combined flavor is de- licious. Try it. Use broken mantles for silverware Rub the dark spots on the silver with a soft cloth dipped into the ashes " A. M"
