While no predictions have come,
even from the most optimistic wealth
or prognosticators, that there will
not be cold and unsettled weather be-
fore the arrival of genuine spring
weather, warmth giving sunshine and
balmy zephyrs today are presaged at
every hand.
Perhaps the first recognized har-
binger of spring this year was a game
Of marbles engaged in by a half dozen
or so newspaper carrier boys yester-
day afternoon in front Of The Daily
Leader building. The temperance
of the marble bag was followed today
noon by another ~undeniable symptom
Of the near approach of mild weather
i'm the form of a game Of catch" by
several boys on Fourth street.
And with courage lent by the city
youths lead, adults told of many
other signs of spring that had come
TO their notice. From some of the
things recounted, it could be taken
that only the appearance Of green
grass. the display of mothballs on
drug store counters and the publica-
ton of the first installment of spring
poems, remain TO transform late win
ter into the first stages of summer.
Railway men tell that seven cars
of settlers effects passed through
the city this morning, and the new
corners will settle on farms al Ar
tesian, Arlington and Redfield.
Dealers in wall paper and paint say
that the demand for spring decora-
tions for homes is already strong.
and milliners are reported TO be busy
f|ashioning warm weather hats. Re
ports have reached the city that wild
geese and ducks have left their south
ern haunts, and that farmers are
either testing their seed orr or pre-
pairing to do so.

Northwestern roads entering the city,
Yankton was at a late hour last night
threatened with a devastating flood
as a result OF water backing up from
a gorge formed in the Missouri river
abou half way between hal city and
Vermillion. Women and children
were being removed from the flooded
districts while farmers residing on
the lands between the Missouri and
the James river and on the flats be-
tween them and Vermillion were
driving their horses and cattle on
high points where their predicament
was still perilous as they stood knee
deep in the cold water.
Both the Missouri and the James
rivers have been cutting peculiar
capers for the last week. but up until
yesterday no alarm had been felt.
About 10 O'Clock yesterday morning
the ice which had filled the Missouri
began moving and a few hours later
the waters at Yankton began a rapid
rise when the large gorge formed
down the river. BY 6 o'clock in the
afternoon the water had risen six

MONEY AND ITS MAKING

10 make money is comparatively easy
To save it is more difficult To make il
grow is problem.
And not all of us are able to solve the
problem.
But if ever there was a time when we
faced the opportunities for making mon
ey grow, that time is now
Everybody knows that the prosperity
Of the nation depends primarily upon the
farmer and his crops. If he plants in
large acreages, and nature is good to him
his yield is bountiful and he becomes the
harbinger of an era of prosperity.
When the farmer is plentifully supplied
with funds, he wants new machinery and
more machinery, and the making of these
gives employment to millions of people,
These people in turn have money to
spend and the merchant begins to increase
the volume of his business and gather in
greater profits And as it is with these,
so it is all down the line and extending
into every industry and into every home
This year the farmers Of this country
marketed the greatest crop in history, the
total value of the leading crops reaching
the astounding figure of over $5,280,0O0,
OOO. This exceeds last years yield by
over $415,OOO,OOO.
Inc making OF money Dy the people OF
this community the coming year will de-
pend greatly upon the farmers of our
community. If they increase their acre
age the wealth of the community will be
enhanced in proportion, and through the
logical routine of barter and trade, it finds
its way into every artery of town, farm
and countryside.
The year to come will witness a ire
nj e.,
demand will come from every section Of
the globe and the buyer pays in gold.
For this reason, we urge upon every
farmer, the advisability, even the vital
Importance, of cultivating every possible
foot Of ground, even to the doubling of
your acreage if such a thing be within
the bounds of possibility.
The opportunity for making money is
before you-the greatest you have ever
seen, possibly greater than you will ever
see again. Exchange.
