"A Spoonful
When Weary" ;"

While the Press man was out of
Kadoka couple of days last week
he sure heard a good one on the
way booze" is being peddled to
the boys who like nip now and
then, by one of the drug stores
which is located in the county and
in town where there is no saloon.
If the report that reached us is
true-the proprietor of the drug
shop is certainly entitled to credit
for the long headedness which he is
showing in a financial way. A
physician of course is necessary,
and one that has no scruples about
prescribing whiskey at so much per
perscription-we heard the price
was quoted first at so cents per
write" but lately has droped to
quarter, and the directions past
ed on the booze bottle bears that
famous inscription, boys, Take a
Spoonful When Weaty." :"
The Press man is not an author
ity on boot legging--it may be law
full for a drug store and physician
to do this kind of business-we
fully realize that there is big prof
it in it, and it enables one to build
up a nice little pile of easy money
but regardless of law, whether
right or wrong, it is a dirty busi-
ness and it seems to the Press that
if the State Pharmacy Board or the
State Board of Medical Examiners
had their attention called to reports
like the one which reached our ear,
they would Immediately investigate
and nine to one would put both the
druggist and the doctor out of bus
inesss. A Spoonful When Weary
Its. sure good one and displays
quits, boys, quits.

Press Ad Used By
Insurance Company

The Columbia Fire Underwrit s
Co., of Omaha, Neb., the company
which the Jackson County Abst. &
Loan Co., write Hail Insurance for
are using the hail advertisement
which appeared in the Press for
the Abstract boys couple of weeks
back, and are sending printed cop
les broadcast over the United States
to their agents. The copy for the
ad was written by (. I. Nellor,
Vice-president of the Abstoact Co. !,
and it should swell him up some
to have concern worth millions of
dollars, to think we'll enough of the
copy to spend thousands in getting
it circulated among their agents
and advising them to run it in the
local papers in their communities.
j. ]. Allen of Sioux Falls, mem
Der of the Mckinney & Allen Farm
Loan g. Insurance, Co., was in
kadoka couple of days the first
OF the week looking over our coun
try with view of placing several
thousand of dollars in farm loans
in Jackson and Washabaugh coun-
ties. The firm of Mckinney &
Allen is the strong farm loan firm
Of the state; they being the state
representatives of the Scottish
American Loan Co., Edinborough,
Scotland, and before leaving town
Mr.. Allen informed the Press that
he had named, j. II. Snyder of the
Farmers State Bank, as their cor
respondent for the two counties
named above. and had decided to
put some money into, these COM
munities. This is pleasing news
in several different ways-it will
help develop the country and also
means that Mr.. Allen has conf
dence in the ultimate success oil
our country.

Settlement Matter
Under Consideration


Morrison, Chas. Haxby and Jerry
Jarman of Haakon county, accom-
panied by their States Attorney,
| 0. X. Whitney and the expert ac-
countant, Lee Aldrich, were at Ka-
doka on last Saturday confering
with the Jackson County Commits
sioners and States Attorney East
house in regard to the settlement
of affairs between Stanley County
and her ofsprings.
| The Haakon countycommission-
ers as we'll as their states attorney
expressed themselves as being
afraid that it would be impossible
for the two new counties to get a
fair settlement with the mother
county, giving one of the reasons,
the action of Stanley county board
when they passed the resolution
calling upon Jackson and Haakon
counties to come in with their share
of the Indebtedness, but not saying
anything about dividing the assets
of the county. One instance quot
ed to the Press man, was the fact
that upon Feb, Ist, 1915, when the
total Indebtedness of the mother
county was figured up at approxim-
ately SI3I, 200. oo--J Jackson and
Haakon counties were called on to
pay their proportionate share.
there was in the county treasury of
Stanley county at that time, an
amount OF cash amounting to near
| " $40, 900. 90 and no account what.
ever, as we were informed, was
taken Of this vast sum of money
the mother county intending to
hang on to it with the same vicious
ness as the bull pup does to the
seat of the chicken thiefs pants.
Besides this asset of SIo, 100000
the Haakon county folks claim
from figures derived by the expert
accountant, l.. L. Aldrich, who at
the request Of both Jackson and
Haakon counties, has made care
full examination; further sum of
between SI7, 600, 90 and $40, 900. 90.
| Jackson county's credit as by fig
ures given will run from Sr2, 900. 90
to SI6, 10000. The total indebted
ness to be assumed by Haakon
county is around S54, and
| Jackson will come in for something
like S33, 10000 and If an equitable
, settlement could be reached, and
, we have not yet given up hope but
, that it can, all the counties con-
cerned would be in nice financial
shape with not enough indebtedness
to cause worry to anyone.
In this article we have tried to
give our readers the best account,
; we can, of the situation at this
time, and we desire it to be dis
tinctly,understood by every reader
: of the Press, that we haye conf
dence in the Jackson county board
: Of commissioners, and know that
, they will take due time and use
; every precaution to secure a fair
; and impartial settlement for the
tax payers OF this county.
The Press is paper published
in the interests Of the citizens OF
Jackson county and we desire to
: inform every taxpayer of the county
that at no time are we to busy to
look up any question you may adj
dress us about in regard to this
county settlement matter we want
your opinion as the future success
of the settlers in old Jackson couD-
ty does not depend upon one, nor
any set of men, but depends upon
the entire populace

Mayor n. l. Kirk. In his recent mes

urged for the building interests Of
the city IL the adoption OF the build

for some time.
Mayor Kinks message regarding
this department follows. and contains
the report OF the inspector for the hrst
eleven months OF the year:
"One Of the most important depart
ments OF any municipal government
Is that OF building inspector. Magni
tude OF responsibility rests upon his
shoulders. a. there In no question be
fore the public OF moro importance

nances should be adopted al once Civ
ing the building inspector power TO

er precautions IN buildings which may
be erected. including theaters. NOV

Charges for Permits.
Our previous council had before Il
for consideration q new building code,
but for some unknown cause II was
not acted upon favorably. trust II
viii be your pleasure 10 hasten the
passage OF this new code. or an ade-
quate one at least. including therein a
graduated schedule of charges for
building permits. SO as to make the

highly of the opinion that the build
ing Inspector should spend the major
portion OF his time reviewing work
which Is under construction. so that
the high efficiency may be obtained In

zens may be safeguarded at all times.
