When the citizens of Marietta read
this issue of our paper they will be
gin to realize that Marietta is taking
on Metropolitan airs.
Let us hope the new building OF
the Sessions Loan & Trust Company
is merely the beginning of the i'm
provements we have all talked and
dreamed about-a toruist hotel, sew
eral miles of macadam streets, new
sidewalks, ETC., etc.
The Sessions Loan & Trust Comp
any is certainly putting Marietta on
the map. The name of Marietta is
known from one end of the country
to the other, as the headquarters OF
an investment business that is de-
stined to be one of the largest in the
South. And the remarkable growth
of that business is due to the fact
that Sessions stands for safety is
the foundation on which the bust
ness has been built.
The business of the Company has
been growing so rapidly that the
present quarters are entirely made
quate for their needs. The new
building will therefore be pushed
to completion at the earliest posi-
BILE day.
The writer has had the pleasure OF
looking over the plans and specifi-
cations and it is certainly going to be
a marvel of office building construc-
ton. Every thing will be thorough
ly up-todate and highly efficient,
from the vaults in the basement to
the Company's quarters on the main
floor and the suite of offices for at
torneys on the second floor. If the
Company's loan business grows in
volume to $5,0O0,00O.O0 a year, as

IS ADVERTISING EXPENSIVE?

Advertising that is regarded by the
advertiser as an expense Is just that
There is something wrong with It,
Nine times out Of ten the copy has a
charley-horse. It's so weak 1t couldn't
move itself let alone move others. And
whose fault is that? Advertising!
Not on your life. It's the fault OF the
mar who is paying for the advertising.
Go to his store, and the chances are
that you will find it slowly expiring
from dry rot. The goods will be dirty
and unkept. The shelves will be
dusty and neglected. Even the boss
will have a crouch, and the crouch
never attracts buyers. Life is too
short to waste with the wooden faces.
It isn't the advertising that's expen-
sive, it's the lack of push that's behind
the failures.

THE WHEAT

Readers of the Independent know
that in commenting on the wheat sit
uation in this country, We have con-
~tinually held to the view. that the
weather ever since the harvest of win
ter wheat was well under way has
been such as to cause a big loss in
heavy rains which flooded thousands
of acres of winter wheat fields and
prevented cutting for at least three
weeks, and later rains that prevented
threshing for several weeks, the gov
ernment's report has maintained that
the early promise would be realized.
We know that such weather conditions
in spring wheat territory always re-
suit in damage and loss. Why would
not the same conditions bring about
a loss in the winter wheat districts?
The following paragraph from the mar
ket page of one of the daily papers
show what the grain trade generally
thinks Of the situation which is right
in line with the position the ~Independ-
ent took from the beginning:
Chamber of Commerce houses with
winter wheat connections say the con-
dition of the crop in southern Ne
braska, Kansas. Oklahoma, Missouri,
and southern Illinois is not generally
realized. The loss estimates are stead
lily being increased and 100, 900, 900
bushels actual loss. besides a vast
amount seriously damaged, is now re-
garded as conservative. The actual
loss in milling wheat is by some plac-
ed at a much higher total-close to
200, 0OO, 000."-De Smet Independent.

SOME LARGE VEGETABLES

Cashier A. A. Karey made a trip to
the Andrew Lee farm southwest OF
Dupree last Friday and returned with
a variety Of vegetables that are hard
to beat, says the Dupree Leader. The
rutabagas weighed from six pounds to
six pounds and twelve ounces; cucum-
bers from two and a quarter pounds to
two and a half pounds, all perfectly
solid, and carrots that would be a
credit to the best ever raised in any
county in this state. Mr.. Karey has
a fine assortment Of various vegetables
and grains that were raised hereabouts
this year, on display in the Dupree
State Bank that are the source OF
much comment by many from the
states farther east.

OLD LEAVE

o. A. Stumley has sold his resi-
dence in this city to the Misses Han
nah and Inga Rogholt, of Oslo town
ship, who will take possession of the
same next month. Mr.. and Mrs. Stun
ley will shortly go to Montana and
spend the winter with their son Arthur
and may decide to locate there per-
manently if they like the country. Miss
Mabel will go to Fort Dodge, Iowa,
where she will spend the winter with
her sister, Mrs. w. F. Hibbs. and will
attend business college this winter.
The Stumleys are counted among the
oldest residents of this city and 1t is
indeed a matter of great regret to all
their old friends and neighbors to
have them leave. It is needless to say
that they will carry with them the
best wishes Of the entire community.

FARMERS ROAD PLANNED

The proposed South Dakota Short
Line Railway, articles for which were
filed with the secretary of state last
week, contemplates a line of road
from Mitchell to Pierre, a distance of
$50 miles, through the counties of
Dawson, Jerauld, Aurora, Buffalo,
Hyde and Hughes, with the tentative
line from Mitchell, to Storla, in Jer-
auld county, on to Gam Valley, Buff
falo county, and up through southern
Hyde county to the vicinity of DeGrey,
Hughes county, and up the Missouri
river by way of Rousseau to Pierre.
says a Pierre dispatch. The capital
of the road is placed at 50, 900, 900, and
the plan of raising capital is similar
to that used in financing the Fair
mount & Veblen farmers road, which
was built in the northeast corner of
the state, the farmers along the line
being asked to take stock to be paid
for when the road is completed. The
incorporators of the line are George
w. Adams, Council Bluffs, Iowa; J. E.
Ziebach, F. E. Swartout, J.. Jorgenson,
w. J. Hughes of Gam Valley, s. D.; G..
M. Schumway, E. H. Scitt, Letcher;
Nels Johnson, Mount Vernon.
Mr.. Adams, the promoter, who has
been over the proposed line, declares
that he finds hearty encouragement
among the farmers of the portion of
the state proposed to be traversed, as
they have long been asking some of the
old established lines of the state to
been able to get any movement in
that direction.

A CORRECTION

In the Globe OF August IL appeared
an article by Mr.. Mccain discussing
a published report alleging that Doc
tors Meltzer and Kleiner of the Rookie
Teller Institute had found dextrose to
be a cause of diabetes. That report
was without foundation. Doctors Melt
ger and Kleiner had announced no
such findings, and the paper they pub
lished describing certain experiments
regarding the action of the pancreas
on dextrose did not reflect in any way
on Corn Syrup or other food products
of corn. Mr.. Mccain wrote as he did
in reliance upon a published report OF
experiments conducted by the Rookie
Teller Institute, which he subsequently
found to be In another col
umn OF this issue will be found his
explanation. Needless to say, the
Globe regrets that 1t gave currency to
a misleading report and publishes this
correction in the hope that any wrong
impression created in the public mind
may be removed.-New York Globe
and Commercial Advertiser.

is MOVING

The Sioux Falls Press of Tuesday
has the following interesting item fol-
lowing Mr.. schlosser's visit to Brook
ings:
II had occasion last week to make a
trip up into Brookings county," said
George Schlosser to a reporter of the
Press last evening, "and while l was
only permitted to observe the rural
side from a a window, I had a good
chance to look over Brookings, and |
want to say that the splendid city is
to be congratulated on the showing in
substantial new homes and public
buildings erected since my former
visit, a little rel two years ago. One
cannot go to Brookings without being
impressed with the city and its sur
roundings and the fact that it is an
ideal college city. In the neighbor-
hood of sixty new homes have been
built during the past summer. A large
number of substantial city improve
ments have been made, and the new
post Office Is a splendid structure. The
public library is a fine building. The
administration building at the college
is imposing, and the county building
has few. II any, equals in the state"

OLD GENERAL PROSPERITY

with apologies to James Whitcomb
Riley.)
Old General Prosperity's come to
our town to stay; the local merchants
all are glad, now trade has come their
way; there was a time when money
vanished from us like a fog; "Enclos-
ed find check, for which please send
....as per your catalogue" We had
the same goods right at home; our
prices, too, were right, but somehow
no one understood, and no one saw
the light; out-of-town concerns had
methods that we didn't know about
the mail order firms'll git you, eff
you don't watch out.
Once we had a citizen who wasn't
very wise; he kept the General Store,
but was too proud to advertise. His
groceries and dry goods, an his eggs
and butter, too, his hardware an his
boots an shoes were good, but no one
knew; and so we spent our money
where it didn't help a bit to make the
town a better one; to make us proud
Of it; the big city got the profit, and
we-what were we about? The mail
order frms'll git you, eff you don't
watch out.
This citizen at last woke up and ad-
vertised his goods, an all the others
followed suit, and came out OF the
woods, an they helped their home
