After an illness of several months
Mr.. Homer Leroy Pitts, died
at his parents home in the west end
this morning shortly after three o.
clock He was in his 29tl. wear,
having been born on May 81,
1886.
Mr. Pitts spent the past ten years
IN the west. While in North Dakota
his health failed and he came home
on the 9th day Of January with
hope that the climate here would
be beneficial and and he would
soon regain his lost strength. He
was tenderly cared for by his low
lug parents, brothers. sister, and
physician, but he gradually grew
weaker and had to submit to the
inevitable, death, which comes
sooner or later to all mOrtals.
Mr.. Pitts was member of two
fraternal orders in South Dakota
the Elks and the Owls.
MIR. Pitts made Il confession of
Jesus last February and united with
the Presbyterian church and his
parents have no fear as to his iu-
tnre state.
Homer was a young man Of
warm heart and was we'll liked by
all his acquaintances. Beside his
father and mother the deceased
leaves three brothers Messrs L. Y.
l.. L. and O. w. Pitts and one
sister, Mrs. ID. G. Sheldon to
mourn his demise.
Funeral services were conducted
at the residence this afternoon at 3
O'Clock by his pastor, Rev j f.
Wallace, after which his body was
laid to rest in the family plot in
Eastvlew cemetery.
Many friends Of the bereaved
parents and family deeply sympa-

and it is with feelings OF deep re.
eret that the news is received OF
his death In the letter received
from brother by Nichols stated
that Harry had diel IN easy death
and that his one last wish was to
meet the boys in Mobridge again
and especially his former employer,

Of almost any profession. a man-o-
wars man never lcses his job, even
temporarily, for lack of work. He is al
ways sure of his pay, of three substan-
tial meals each day, of clean, healthful
surroundings. Hishealth is the primary
concern of a skillful staff of physicians.
In time of injury or illness he receives
without cost the best medical and hos
pital attendance, and after thirty years
of service he may retire on three-quar-
tiers of his pay, assured of a never fail
ing income so long as he lives.
Excepting the cost of his clothing,

gratis, and a deduction of 20 cents a

and perquisites, he is much better off

A recruit can readily see the posi-
nest and intelligent effort. From the
time he enters the training station he
receives useful instruction and encour-
agement. His advance can be meas

Bruise half a pound of nutgalls and

Then add three ounces and a half Of

INDIVIDUAL GROWTH.

1t cannot be too often repeat
ed that the ends of society are
not realized when there are
great aggregate results, magnifl-
cent public works, great accu-
mutations of wealth and of the
means of sensual and sensitive
enjoyment, with the degradation
or without the growth of indi-
viduals, and that all changes in
the form of institutions and the
directions of active industry
must be futile which do not orig
mate in or draw after them an
improvement in the character of
individuals. But it is self evil
dent that society can furnish a
free arena for individual growth
only as the principles OF justice
and benevolence are recognized.

better than anything now coming to
our market. To-day there was on this
market five carloads of California
flowers and about four carloads of
Florida flowers. The California flowers
are poor and will continue to come
poor for some time. The flowers are
small, ricy and grayish in color. 1t Is
the good green Jackets that helps sell
them. The Florida flowers are better,
but they are not the close grain white
flowers which you grow.
1--WE look forward to the time when
there will be enough flowers grown in
Louisiana that they can pack carloads
and put them on the market in such
shape that they will demand their full
value. We cannot help but believe
that there is future for cauliflower in
Louisiana. If the growers there had a
good crop this year, the price they
would realize for it would make it a
very profitable crop to grow, and they
could stand it if every other year was
failure, and the result would still be
good enough SO that they could afford
to keep growing it."
That second-class Louisiana Cauli-
flowers are superior to any grown in
California or Florida ought to cause
serious consideration of this COM
modify as money crop in this section.
BY careful attention to packing and
shipping the Louisiana product can
easily be placed on the New York
market in first-class condition. Louisi-
ana enjoys equally as good freight
rate to New York as Florida, and
Louisiana shipments can be placed in
New York much more quickly and vast
ly cheaper than those from California.
The cauliflower is best adapted to
low, wet lands and can be grown on
thousands of acres of West Feliciana
lands without the use of fertilizer. It
can be grown successfully on lands
