SWAT THE FLY

Now is the time to take up the
swatter and wage war on the fly. Re-
member that one female fly allowed to
live means millions of flies before the
summer is over. Remember that the
fly carries the germs of typhoid fever,
tuberculosis, and summer complaint
on his wings and hairy feet. Kill him
lest he kill you, or yours. Above all,
remember that where there is filth,
flies abound. Remove n and all
kinds of trash from your premises at
least once a week and thus destroy the
breeding places of the fly. IAN ounce
of prevention is worth a pound of
cure" Civic League.

ly print it herewith. The reader had
been noticing for some time that not
all the merchants of Brookings are ad-
vertising as they should and this clip
ping although written in a humorous
vein is very timely just the same:
There was an old geezer and he had
a lot of sense; he started up a bust
ness on a dollar-eighty cents. The
dollar for stock and the eighty for an
ad, brought him three lovely dollars in
a day, by dad! Well, he bought
goods and a little more space and he
played that system with a smile on his
face. The customers flocked to his
two-by-four, and soon he had to hustle
where the people pass, he gobbled up
a store hat vas all plate glass. He
fixed up the windows with the best
that he had and he told EN- all about
it in a half-page ad. He soon had 'em
coming and he never, never quit and
he wouldn't cut down on his ads n
jit. Well, he's kept things humping
in the town ever since and everybody
calls him the Merchant Prince. Some
say it's luck, but that's all bunk
Why, he was doing business when the
times were punk. People have to pur-
chase and the geezer was wise-for he
knew the way to get 'em was to ad-
vertise Exchange.

KITS FOR BABIES

Although Americans have shown a
ready generosity toward the stricken
and needy people of Europe since the
beginning of the present great war,
a relief plan just organized in New
York City, is believed to hold a strong
er and straighter appeal to this nation
than any previous one of a kindred
nature. This plan was i%naugurated by
Mrs. Whitney Warren, Treasurer Of
the Secours National which has been
sending food and clothing to the desti-
tute aged people, and children
in France. The object of this new
work is to send kits containing neces-
sary articles of wear to the babies and
little children of the destitute and de-
vastated sections of France.
There is a double appeal to this
work. First; it does not seek in any
way to furnish aid to the b%elligerent
or fighting branch of the French ma
ton. Second; it does aim to give
greatly needed aid to c~hildren-to lit
tie children who are in need and help
less. There are thousands of these
little ones in France today, homeless
orphans who are in rags or completely
destitute of clothing. These are the
children the Secours National pro-
poses to help.
1t is no reflection upon the French
Government hat this distressing con
dition exists today. That peaceful cul-
tured nation was precipitated into a
war of defense and, against terrible
odds, has worked wonders in sustain
ing its army and caring for the non
combatants.
But France cannot accomplish mir
acles and it is from America that help
for these children must come, chill
dren whose great grandfathers a hun
dred years ago fought to make Amer
lea free.
1t is now the time of year when
Americans-blessed with the liberty
France helped to win for her-are en-
joying the benefits and pleasures of
vacation. These little children OF
France are suffering for the necessi,
ties of life. Would it not be beauti-
fully appropriate for Americans to
give a part-only a small part-of
their vacation funds for this worthy
cause?
Will you help these children?
Arrangements have been made
whereby the cost of each kit is held to
the small amount of two dollars ($2)
Free transportation is furnished by
the French Government while safe and
advantageous distribution of the kits
is guaranteed by the American Wal
Relief Clearing House in Paris.
All subscriptions should be sent tC

SYvERSON FOUD GUILTY

Epa Syverson, former president OF
the State bank at Bancroft, was found
guilty of fraudulent banking practices
by a Jury at De Smet at 7 o'clock Sun
day morning. The jury returned the
verdict after being out IA hours.
The defense rested its case Satur-
day, and the case was given to the
Jury at 5 o'clock. The case was one
of the hardest fought ever tried in
Kingsbury county.
Syverson was charged with violating
state banking laws by accepting de
posts after his bank was insolvent
and substituting worthless personal
paper for money on deposit in the in
stitution. The failure of the Bancroft
bank and the subsequent investigation
caused Examiner Wingfield to close
banks in which Syverson was inter
ested at Bryant, Willow Lakes, Henry,
Vienna, Lake Norden and Watertown.
The investigation brought to light
many irregularities in several of these
institutions.
Sentence will be pronounced on
Syverson by Judge Carl G.. Sherwood,
before whom the case was tried, on
July Is. 1t Is understood that the case
Will be appealed to the supreme court.

WISDOM

Evidently South Dakota newspaper
men are awakening to the folly of try,
ing to make a business and financial
success with two or three newspapers
in a town none too large to give good
support to one paper. Scarcely a week
goes by without some change being
made in newspaper Offices in some
town of the state, either consolidation
Of two papers or n paper in a town
being discontinued. The newspaper
game may be fascinating enough to
some editors to cause them to hang
on even when they can barely make a
living, but the majority Of pencil push
ers in the country are gradually com
ing to look at the newspaper PROPOSE
ton from a purely business standpoint.
The more consultations, and the
sooner they are brought ABBOTT, the
better it will be for all commemorative
newspaper men who support the
papers through advertising and job
printing.-Alexandria Herald.
