engaged In selling the Seals, numbers
well over 100000 The advertising
and publicity devoted to the campaign
amounts to several hundred thousand
dollars. Every effort is being put
forth to sell 100, 900, 200 Seals, or only
one for every man, woman and child

Cash Johnson, brother of Alex. John
son, of n. w. Ry. fame.
Mrs. Amelia, from Mitchell, is presi-
dent of the society and she did the
honors with credit to herself and the
great state of South Dakota. We en-
joyed a long visit with Mr.. Frank VIII
cox, brother of our old friend, Gus Will
cox, now living in W~atertown, and his
wife. They were early pioneers in
South Dakota and held down a claim
at Fountain City in Eye Olden Tyne"
of pioneering in Dakota.
Every old man and m and
every ScnOOI boy anu SHI bd9 i'du
about Daniel Boone and the pioneers
who settled the then wild west several
hundred miles east Of the Father OF
Waters and have admired their pluck
and courage and endurance and push
and it is the same class Of men and
women who have continued to push on
westward and have conquered the wild
Indian and the wild beast and the still
wilder soil of the western plains and
made It to produce wealth beyond com
pare. They were followed by the more
conservative, steady-going class of citi-
zens who wait for the opening and
then are ready to 90 in and rear the
harvests made possible by the enter
prising and pushing pioneers. AS the
conservative class moved in the pion-
