DISPLAYING THEIR GOODS

We notice with pleasure this
week the pride and interest dis
played by our merchants in dec
Grating their windows. Such a
method of displaying goods not
only adds to the attractiveness
OF their stores and the whole
city, but invariably pulls custo
mer straightway from the side
walk into the store. The same
results are obtained from we'll
written and nicely arranged
newspaper advertisements. In
order to induce the people tC
buy there must be some incentive
Ii the merchants through care
and study present their mer-
chandise in d systematic way
like the mail order houses do.
then the people would know
more about what they had and
would not be near so apt tc
send away. Watch the high
class magazines where adver5is
ing is carried. For instance
Wrigley's Spearmint Gum, sell.
ing for sc per package, and
thousands of dollars are spent
for one single advertisement.
Not to advertise is business
suicide.

Watertower Breaks at Kimball

Water tower here came near
flooding out the town the other
night whep the feed pipe froze
and burst, the water pressure

veritable torrent to pour down
the hill into the property owned
by A. NJ. Bowles. Mr.. Bowles
was on the job with a shovel try

Water, when the flood struck him.
His property was the only one
affected by the break to any
great extent.

In a sense the local merchant

Ina sense the local merchant is
a banker. At least he performs
the functions of banker when his
customers are hard up and need
credit with which to buy the neces-
sites of life. He doesn't loan
them money but he does loan them
credit and lets them take the neces-
sites from his store on the basis
that they will be paid for some
time. If it were not for the local
merchants we would have some
difficulty in explaining how the
unemployed in many cities live
through the winter.

How Funds are Raised

For the purpose of paying
the salary and expense of said
county agent and other expenses
a coutny is always at liberty to
raise funds from any private
source by subscriptions. How
ever, funds may be raised with
in the county by means Of public
taxation, providing the county
commissioners are willing to
vote such a tax. If the county
commissioners do not decide to
vote such a tax, they may be
asked by petition signed by Is

county to submit the question of
such an appropriation to the

HOW TO ORGAN.
IZE AG. ASS0,
Hume Outlines Method of
Organization.

Broollings-The following out
line of the proper procedure in
organizing a county for county
agent under provisions of law
passed bn the recent legislature
and the Smith-Lever bill of Con.
gress, is furnished by DR.. A. N.
Hume, professor of Agronomy
at the State college, and State
Leader of Extension:
The conditions under which
the several counties of South
Dakoto may organize Agricul-
tural Extension Association are
virtually prescribed by Senate
Bill 258, which was recently
made into a law. This law in
brief, provides for the acceptance
by the state of South Dakota
through its State College of
Agriculture and Mechanic Arts
of certain funds appropriated to
each Of the several states by the
United States government under
what is known as the Smith-Lev-
er Act.
This acceptance by the state
of Federal funds which shall be
used in conjunction with funds
appropriated by the state itself
provides for what is known as
the Smith-Lever fund. The state
Legislature also appropriated an
additional amount, whichis avail
able under prescribed conditions
to the several counties of this
state. This latter fund is called
the County Organization fund.
Starting the Organization.
"A petition oftifty free holders,
who shall represent, at least,
one-third of the townships in the
county, virtually forms an or.
ganization which will be in a
position to proceed to elect a
board Of directors.
Having formed the organiza-
tion by this means of circulating
a petition and having duly orga-
nized, the next step is to incor-
porate the organization by filing
in the office of the Secretary of
State articles of incorporation,
stating name of the corporation
and purpose for which organized
and names of the officers and
directors of the corporation,
which officers and directors
shall act as such until the next
general meeting for the election
of officers and directors thereof.
Having thusorganized and incor-
porated, a acounty is in position
to proceed and can legally hire a
county agent and necessary as
sistants through it's board of
directors.
