SMALL INVESTMENT
YIELDS LONG PROFIT

Perhaps there is not husi-
ness institution in the country
or farm in the United States
that can show as large q per-
centage of profit as is shown by
quarter section of land one
mile from this city. This spring
f. f. Payne secured the owner
ship of a~quarter section Of land
which was raw prairie, and had
1T all plowed up and seeded to
flax. The yield was $500 bus
hels Of seed, which at the pres
ent time is 1924 per busheH
making a gross sum of S6;272.
While it is improbable that
this land could be purchase
for $40 per acre from the pres
ent owner. there is a great dea
of land IN this community that
is fo sale al prices ranging from
$50 to S35 per acre which will
produce as much if properIy
handled. Considering that the
land on which the above cror
was raised was purchased at $50
per acre and that for pIowine

CHI NCH BELIEVES
IN ADVERTISING

For some years past churches

newspapers. relative to their

Tins was done from twofold
reasons.
First-Those churches eaIlz
ed the Importance of publicity
IN placing their services before
the attention Of their members
and the general public,
Second-They also realized
that they asked a good deal Of
the newspapers during the
course of a year IN publishing
other news which was intended

late following, and they believed
that reciprocal paid advertising
was but Just and tar
a newspaper is usually glad To
be accommodating in fact that rs

However, its news columns
are intended to be devoted to
general news which will inter.
est the greater number Of its
readers, and notices, intended
either to draw patronage for
profit or to reach only a limit
ed number Of persons who are
directly interested, should right

paid advertising.
This fact is being appreciated
by at least one local church, as
evidence Of which appears an al

EVERYONE PROSPERS
in LENNON COMMUNITY

That the prosperity of the
people in general in this com.
munity is beyond question is in
dicated by the fact that the
business done by the retail
firms in this city is greater this
year than they have done any
previous year since the home
stead period when the trade
was dependent on the transient
buyers.
Hardware dealers, implement
dealers, general merchants, gar
ages, bakeries and other indus
tries in the city show the effects
of this prosperity by the inn
provements that are being made
in the different business places
in the city.
Early last spring things be
gan to pick up and throughout
the summer the tattoo Of the
carpenters hammer has been
heard all along Main street
The effects of the summer work
is showing plainly, the appear
ance Of the business houses be-
ing much better than they were
a year ago.
New fronts have been added
to the stores Of Christensen &
Finsand, ]. c. Elliott Co., the
Grand Leader, the Marcus the
atre, Pew Bros. Garage, the Ar
cade Hotel, the First State Bank
of Lennon and Macomber's
Pharmacy. The Palace Hotel
has put in a new dining room;
White Bros. and Bamble Bros.
HardWares, have built additions
to their stores; Lawyers meat
market has put in a new refrig-
plant and remodeled the
meat market; the Western Ma
chine Shop has painted and re-
modelled their building; the
Vendome Hotel has been opened
up; cement sidewalks have been
laid in many parts of the city
and Lennon is rapidly reach
ing a stage where every basl-
ness place, in itself, is a boost
for Lennon.

i. G.. ELLIOTT co. STORE
NEARING COMPLETION

The store of j. c. Elliott Co.
is rapidly nearing completion
and the workmen are today
putting the finishing touches
to the beautiful new front. Sew
ieral more days will be needed
before the cement entrance and
the work on the exterior will be
finished but it is very probable
that the entire work will be
completed within a week.
The new front and the general
remodeling of the interior OF
the store, with the added floor
space because of the removal of
the First State Bank to other
quarters gives the j. c. Elliott
Co. one of the finest store build
inGs IN the trans-Missouri En-
pire.

TIMBER LAKE
TRIMS MOBRIDGE

Mobridge, Sept. 30.-Timbei
Lake defeated Mobridge here
vasterdav in one of the fastest
r.mas of the season by a score
i "a to 0. The game was played
~ Governors day at the tenth
anniversary celebration, and Q
crowd of more than 1,500 people
Witnessed the battle.
In the first half the line
nElnge was used almost entire.
H. Timber Lake continually
gaining ground in the first quar-.
ter. In the second quarter the
Nobridge backfield played stel.
lar football, especially in pass
inp. During the third quarter
both teams opened up and gave
the very best that was in them
on open field work, end runs
and passes It was in this quar-
ter that Timber Lake scored her
two touchdowns. both being
made by Jerome BrIntnall, the
night half back. In the fourth
quarter Mobridge rallied and it
looked for a time like a sure
touchdown but Timber Lake
tightened at the psychological
moment and held for downs.
The game was hard battle
from start to finish, the more
experienced Timber Lake backs
showing up in great style.
For Timber Lake the Snow
brothers, Woodrlng, Condor and
Brintnal We're the stars. Baher,
Lidel and Hooper played the
stellar game for Mobridge.
One Of the odd things in con-
], nectl0n with these teams is the
fact that each is coached by an
old Normal man, John Price
with the Mobridge team and r.
|. hraushaar with the Timber
Lake eleven.

need for meats and also because, of
lack of feed to keep it over another
winter. In France the same causes
will produce the same effect. In Great
Britain such prices as are now being,
paid will prEVe to market everything
that is fit to go, including no doubt
much stock that would be kept for
breeding purposes under other cir
cumstances.. The close of the war will
find Europe with a great hunger for
meat and inadequate home supplies
of 1t, for. high prices prevent many
from eating it now just as effectively
as a food dictator can keep the Ger
mans from eating it. Moreover there
mist be a great demand for animals
for restocking which will interiors
w tn the normal domestic supplies OF
all these countries for several years.
The United States, South America and
Australasia are the only parts of the
earth which can supply European
needs and their surplus will surely be
required if the people have anything
left with which to buy meats when the
wal is over. The war demand is great
and war prices are good, but the peace
demand must also be large until the
herds and flocks of Europe are restored
to their normal surplus-producing con-
dit on. One change in continental
Europe's meat policies may be effect
ed by the necessities of the people.
Heretofore u meats have been kept
out of these countries to a very large
extent by prohibitive tariffs. If these
tariffs are relaxed n order to supply
needed food just after the wal it will
be hard to enforce them again in the
face of popular clamor against taxing
such necessities of life. While no
prediction is safe under present cir
cumstances it would not be surprising
to- find that the war will open to our
meat producers markets heretofore
pract calIy closed. At any rate stock
men have no reason to anticipate a de-
preston in their business in the years
just ahead of us.-National Stockman

rebellious at having to pull the deep

4 FUTURE DEMAND.

One of the first orders issued by Ger.
mnsnv's new food d ctator was that the
civilian population must eat no meat
for a period of eight weeks. This is
for the purpose of allowing the live
stock to take on flesh by grazing and
to increase the total supply of meats
and fats. Both are becoming very
scarce in Germany and a reserve must
BE laid up for next winter, when cold
weather will make the need Of tn.
people for them greater than during
the summer Meat tickets. allowing
each family a limited supply, Will pro-
baby be issued when the period o.
total abstinence has expired. Let us

and fat as would reduce our allowance
to half a pound of meat and one-nfti.
of a pound of butter per week, and
