nANURIC!"
THE NEWEST
DISCOVERY IN CHEMISTRY

This is recent discovery of Doctor
Pierce, who is head OF the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo,
n. Y. Experiments at Doctor Pierce 9
Hospital for several years proved that
there is no other eliminator of uric acid
that can be compared to it. For those
easily recognized symptoms of infam-
nation as backache, scalding urine
and frequent urination, as we'll as sedi-
ment in the urine, or il uric acid in the
blood has caused rheumatism, it is
simply wonderful how surely uAnuricn
acts. The best OF results are always
obtained in cases OF acute rheumatism
in the joints, in gravel and govt, and
invariably the pains and stiffness which
30 frequently and persstently accom-
pany the disease rapidly disappear.
Go to your nearest drug store and
simply ask for 50-cent package of
rAnuric," manufactured by DR.. Pierce,
or send 10 cents to DR.. Pierce for a
large trial package. If you suspect
kidney or bladder trouble, send him a
sample Of your water and describe
symptoms. Doctor Pieroe's chemist
will examine it, then DR.. Pierce will
report to you, without fee or charge.
NOTE: = French scientists affirm that
rAnuricv is thirty seven times more
active than lithia in eliminating uric
acid, and is harmless but reliable
chemical compound that may be safely
given to children, but should be used
only by grown-ups who actually wish to
restore their kidneys to perfect health,
by conscientiously using one box or
more in extreme cases as "Anuric"
{ thanks to Doctor Pierces achievement)
is by far the most perfect kidney and
bladder corrector obtainable.

Had God nothing to do with
settling it there?

Had God nothing to do with
settling it there:
Many argue that women do
not want equal suffrage. That
is no argument against a wo-
man $ right to vote even ii it
were true. There was a time
when woman suffrage was ridi-
culed but now the cause has
made progress stimulated by
their desire fer the vote, that is
marvellous compared with the
sentiment of even ten years ago.
If women for any reason perfer
not to vote, she will always have
that priviledge just as the men
have. On the other hand denial
of the franchise deprives not
only the woman who does not
want it but also the one who
does want it and who believes it
is her right.
Do women want suffrage? Ask
the women of any suffrage state.
Submit the question to those
who have tried it and scarcely q
small minority can be found to
vote against it. In none of the
equal suffrage states has there
ever been petition to repeal.
The principal of equal rights for
women is as irrevocably deter
mined in the eleven suffrage
states as the freedom of the
negro is determined in the ma
ton.
On November Z the men of
South DAKOTA will have anothe r
opportunity to show whether
they really believe in the princi-
pals of Democracy, that is a
government by the people, whe.
ther they agree with Jefferson
when he says. lust governments
derive their powers from the
consent of the goverened" by
giving to the women of this state
a voice in this government. If
you believe in Democracy vote
for the woman suffrage amend
ment.

Breaks Leg In Team Runaway.

While driving into town Tues.
day morning Nate Gorsuch, a
farmer living four miles south of
town, suffered all experience which
he no doubt will not want to go
through again for some time.
He was coming to town after a
load of lumber and had taken the
box off the wagon before starting
and was sitting on the reach.
When he got i'll front of Albert
Ulstad's new house, 1. N. Kern of
Ellington passed him on motor
cycle and the team became fright
ened and started running. In the
position in which Mr.. Gorsuch
was sitting it was difficult for him
to ohold his seat and manage the
team and consequently he lost his
balance and fell under the wagon,
the rear wheel passing over his leg.
He was picked up by Mr.. Ulstad
and brought to DIR. Bates Office
where an examination revealed the
fact that both bones in the ankle
were broken. 1t being difficult
matter to properly set the bones
without the use of an X-Ray. Mr..
Gorsuch in company with DR..
Bates was taken to the Vebten hos
pital where the bones were set and
Mr.. Gorsuch made to rest as easy
as could be expected.--Claire City

South Dakota Out Of Debt.

For the first time in many years,
or perhaps the first time in its his
tory South Dakota is out of debt.
The statement of business for the
state treasury for the fiscal year
ending on June 80. 1916, shows
that there are 100000 worth of
revenue warrants outstanding in
indebtedness and that there is $3lO.
o18.75 in cash in-tfie general fund
consequently the state is more
than $4,000 out of debt OH an
actual cash basis.
In addition to that statement, it
is also constructively about $40, 600
ahead of debt this year-because
recently transfer of $25,OOO was
made from the state treasury to the
county supervision fund, and this
could have been added to the cash
on hand, if it had not been for the
transfer. Also the yearly statement
shows that for the past fiscal year
the placing of funds of the state
left a bank balance of interest of
500, 1924, while the state only
paid out $11, ,9oO.9o as interest,
consequently leaving the state the
gamer of about $4,000 on this item.
Consequently the state is about
$4,000 ahead of debt this year for
the first time in its history. The
cash OIL hand in the treasury year
ago for close of business was $24l,
299. So while this year it was $3lO, .
OOO.75.

FARMERS SET
GRAIN PRICES
Growers Set Prices As Mean.
OF Combating Exchanges.

Farmers of the Dakotas, Mon
tana and Minnesota will not sell
their wheat for less than SLIGO per
bushel, terminal prices, if they fol-
low the recommendations of their
delegates who closed session on
Wednesday. No. l and 2 wheat
shall not be sold at any price, all
of this being retained for seed.
This was the word that went out
today from the Society of Equity
headquarters at Fargo and St. Paul
to farmers in northwestern states
following conference held there,
attended by so farmers of Mime
sofa, South Dakota and North Da
kota, at which time nearly a thous-
and reports covering the cost of
wheat production were considered.
The grain growers division of
the Society of Equity of which A.
M. Anderson of st. Paul is presi-
dent will make all active campaign
among the farmers to hold their
grain at the prices they have fixed.
Other prices fixed were for oats No.
3 white so cents, durum wheat No.
2 l.5O, barley No. 2 feed 90 cents,
flax $2.25, rye $1.2O.
Charging grain manipulators
with forcing the prices of wheat
down during the marketing season
in other years, the grain growers
say they have set the prices as a
means of combating grain ex-
changes.

The Bryant school board is ad-
vertising in this issue of the
Standard for bids for the erec-
tion of a new school building in
the southern part of the town
ship. The board has plans and
specifications for an up-to.date
rural school building and the
members are to be commended
ON their advanced ideas. The
building will be large enough to
care for AZ pupils. 1t will have a
full basement and will be steam
heated; it will have room in the
basement for gymnasium for
use in the winter months,
and there will be conveniences
for children to warm their noon
day lunches. In fact the board
has in mind the arrangement OF
the building for a district center
where community gatherings
may be held, particularly those
along education al lines, such as
lectures, musical entertainments
etc. This is certainly the mod
ern idea, and the people of Bry
ant school district are to be con.
graduated ON the fact that they
are soon to have such a building.

Good Program.

Race fans in this section will
be pleased to learn that Sisse-
tons new speedway will be for
mally opened on Saturday. Sept.
II, with an attractive program of

the finishing touches have been
put on the new track, and it
surely will be in first class rae
ing condition when the big day
rolls around.
We have been informed by
those in the know" that keen
interest is being taken by speed
demons in other towns in the
opening of this new track and
already there are number of
entries. Among them are three
Ortonville cars, one from Apple
ton, three Webster cars, includ-
ing frankie Wohl's new Dusen-
berg, and McCoy's two racers. a
Chalmers and Peerless, of Sis
seton. Babe Ward of Aberdeen

the high specders will compete.
There will also be 5-mile free
for all race for stock cars only,
and a Smile motorcycle race.

500 Removes Roundhouse.

The efforts of the Commercial
Club to keep the roundhouse in
Veblen went glimmering the fore
part of the week when crew of
men arrived and began their work
of obstruction.
We all hate to see the first sub
stantial evidence of the F. & ".
road removed for with its coming
old Veblen, always awake and
aggressive, was imbued with new
life and energy.
Its removal we fear will work
great havock with train service
during the winter months, if such
thing is possible as we recall
numerous occasions during the
past winter when it succored with
i'm its confines one or both of their
now almost extinct vehicles of 10.
comotives which the company
still cali engines.
However some arrangements fol
the future have been made as we
are informed that both of the trains
will carry kerosene heaters for i'm.

EX-Sheriff Swanson is in the
city this week recruiting a COM
pany for the South Dakota 5th
Regiment National Guard. j.
M. Swanson received his COM
mission some time ago and al
ready a number of young hus-
kies have signed up. 1t is ex-
pected that the company will be
completed and ready for drill
here in about six weeks and
ready to go to the front about
the first of December. John is
a good fellow in every respect
and as captain of a company he
will be a good one. His record
as sheriff of Roberts county
vouches for his bravery. He is
a man who when he undertakes
a job won't turn back. We
would like to see Roberts county
organize company, and with
John Swanson in the lead.

N0N-PARTISAN
LEAGUE COMING
South Dakota Is Next State
In Line.

South Dakota is next in line for
organization work by the Farmers
Nonpartisan Political league, the
political organization that caused
such a tremendous upheavel i'll
North Dakota in the recent primary
election.
With scores of organizers work
ing in Minnesota at the present
time, the foundation also is being
laid for an active campaign i'll
South Dakota with the likelihood
that the first district organization
headquarters will be placed at
Watertown.
In Minnesota, Nonpartisan or
ganizers have so far succeeded in
adding about $500 names to their
list. The South Dakota league, it
is understood, will act independents
ly of the North Dakota, except
tina, it will be joined in the general
propaganda work.
The South Dakota legislative pro-
gram as mapped out by the league,
will be very similar to that in N orth
Dakota-it being considered that
problems of the two states are large
ly identical. The proposed features
will include state owned terminal
elevators, state owned packing
houses, state hail insurance, state
owned flour mills, etc.
In North Dakota the league
membership is placed at between
IS, 600 and 100000. In the recent
primary election, the leagues cam
didate for the republican nomina-
tion for governor, polled total
vote exceeding SO, ,OOO-a majority
of all the ballots cast for the four
candidates in the field.
The South Dakota organization
'nlan, and the method of carrying
on the political propaganda, will be
very similar to North Dakota. In
this state, the league endorsed or
nominated candidates for Office,
these candidates representing the
various political parties. They
went home and became candidates
in their respective parties
the result that that the league was
supporting a republican candidate
in some districts; democratic cam
didates in other districts, and so.
cialist candidates in other sections.
On the state ticket as supported
by theleague, all were republicans,
with a single exception.
The first gun in the South Da-
kota compaign is fired i'll the offici-
al newspaper of the organization.
THE Nonpartisan Leader" pub
lished in Fargo. The paper gives
attention this week to the proposed
primary act to be voted on in the
November election, and bares the
legislative record thereon, and
praises R. o. Richards for his
work in connection with the re-
submission of the primary law to
the people.

Indian Make. Good Progress.

CSJUlOu tcluCICO III his tlOIlOI,
Cato Sells, United States Com
mission of Indian affairs, who
arrived here Friday to attend
the institute of the Indian school,,
said that the American Indian
has made greater progress than
any other nation of the world in
a like period.
"What race has made more
rapid strides than the Indian?"
he continued. To-day he is GO
ing out to fight tlife's battle along
beside his white brother. A
large proportion of this states
population is to be red men.
Their progress must be big be-
cause the state depends ON it. II
they are not producers they will
pass toa stage OF poverty and if
in the meantime their white bro
theirs pass to q stage of wealth,
the wealthy will have to take
care of the poor through increas-
ed taxations. Therefore it is
UP to the white man to see that
the Indian gets a chance to &C
quire the education and training
that will fit him for the position
of a producer of wealth."
A fire supposed to have been
caused by a hot cinder occurred
