La, Wednesday, June 7.

Have we ever pondcred the
words that Christ once addressed
to His own "Forbid them not, let
them come to me. For such is
the Kingdom above" And what
is more beautiful, what more
soul-lifting than to witness
Solemn Communion of 206 inno-
cent little hearts. How lovingly
they approached Him. their hearts
full Of sweetness untold. How
tendererly the "Great Master
Of hearts must have embraced
them, enraptured, delighted !!

Me-" Can heart remain IN

The process Of making gasoline

last year or two that it has been
introduced in the south and south

being erected in Oklahoma now
and others will probably be erect

BOWLING ANALYSIS NEW
IBERIA WATER.

1t will be shown by the sub
joined communication from DR..
Downing that the water which
runs through the mains from the
City's wells and into the house
holds of most Of our citizens is
pronounced the best kind for
drinking purposes. The water
taken from these wells is treated
under the directions of the State
Board Of Health by Commissioner
Nillermin at a great expense, in
order to give our people
the advantage of using it and
many use it exclusively in their
households. preferring it to the
cistern water that is bound to
contain more or less germs owing
to the dust that enters the
cisterns. Those of orr citizens
who feel at all sceptical about
Using this water need not have
any fear Of it's impurities in the
future.
The communication to Mr..
Sealy is as follows:

PARC PERDUE NOTES

Crops in general in this section
OF the Parish are pretty fair. bu,
old corn is suffering for the want
Of moisture.
The cane crop is further al
vanced than it has been at this
season for number Of wears and
a GOOD yield is promised. if there
are no serious sctbacks.
\ few visits right now from old
friend .Jupc would be highly ap-
prcciatcd by the farmers.
The acreage in cotton is about
forty per cent more than that of
last year; the increase in acreage
is due to the fancy prices paid
for the heccy staple last year.
1t is reported that the God
chaux Co. Ltd have offered very
good Inducements to farmers
along their line to raise cane next
season for shipment over their
road.
Irish potatoes arc yielding well
Tor the season and n hountiful
crop is expected. Diversified
Forming has taken a STRONGHOLD
on the farmer in this section and
the present year will prove that
the farmer is much interested in
this direction and much more 81.
than any previous year in history.

FIRE BUG LOOSE AT ELkToN

Our neighboring city of Elkton was
somewhat startled from its smoothly
going holiday festivities last Thursday
night, about the supper hour, when an
extra amount Of smoke oozed out OF
the cracks of Hotel fremont, and for
a short time it looked as though a fire
fight picnic was on tap.
But the hustling fire boys soon put
a quietus on the flames, says the Elk
ton Record, and the pioneer hosiery
still stands in all it's glory as a monll-
ment of enthusiasm expended a short
time after Noah let the dove out of
the window Of his big boat.
Investigation proved that some per
Sol Or persons planned the fire with
malicious intent. Their motive is only
known to themselves and their side
partner, who is put down in history as
the boss of the hot place where fire is
a continuous blessing.

Williams ought to put a little starch
into the b%ackbones of some of our
money laden pessimists. That these
purchases will not only make non
for the gentlemen mentioned but for
every citizen of the city is a ~foregone
conclusion or else history and myth
ology are synonymous. Those who CON
tend that these gentlemen paid too
much for the properties will wake up
tomorrow or the day after and wonder
why they never say anything but the
hole in the doughnut.

A fuse was ignited which was con.
nected with oil rivulets running to each
room, and gasoline and coal oil was
generously sprinkled about so as to
make the conflagration a success.
The perpetrator of the deed should
be hunted down and given a taste of
the punishment due him in this world.
and while the officers are engaged in
the good work, we suggest they include
a half dozen bootleggers who are a
stencil and a detriment to the good
name Elkton has arisen to since July

RICHARDS QUOTES HARE RIGHT

To the People of South Dakota:
1t is with the keenest delight that
have read the public statement of r. O
Richards relative to the recent decision
of the state supreme court which holds
that the Legislature has constitutional
power to repeal initiated laws adopted
by a direct vote of the people. | note
the demand made upon me, as author
of the language used in the initiative
and referendum amendment to the con
stitution, for a public statement as to
whether the state supreme court or r.
o. Richards i%nterprets that language
correctly, and in reply will say that R.
o. Richards does. He interprets the
language used by me clearly and truth
fully, The state supreme court does
the people a great injustice in holding
as it does.
The intent of the amendment is well
known. 1t was advocated and adopted
for the very purpose to forever take
away the power from the legislature to
violate the will of the people expressed
at the polls.
In interest of the truth, l submit the
above. Sincerely,
Robt. w. Hare,
Aberdeen, S. D..

TRUTHFUL TRUTHS
Contributed by a Cheerful Idiot

= = y = = = = q
1t was certainly gratifying to look
over the last issue of the Saturday
Evening Post and note that cigarette
advertising had been entirely eliminat-
ed. Now if a few of the other lead ne
magazines will follow suit and the
makers of moving picture films can
learn how to make a picture story that
does not reveal a number of he and
she imbeciles sucking these d~espicable
coffin nails the mortality rate will no
doubt be appreciably lowered.
To Johann Murphy, Oscar Johnsing
and c. c. Erie:
Please do not hire vaudeville talent
to make music in your picture temples
until they have been passed. on by the
Real Music Board. Prof. Christensen
and crew have educated Bookings
folks so that they know real music
and nothing less can get by.
"Bottineau, N. d., Jan. 6.-Immigra-
ton work of character and magnitude
never before attempted by a board of
county commissioners was launched
in this city today when the board of
Bottineau county let the contract for
printing $4,000 booklets descriptive of
Bottineau county and her resources.
"The booklet will be profusely Illus
trated with halftone views of farm
scenes from all parts of the country. as
well as photographs depicting the
scenic beauty of the Turtle mountains
and their fishing lakes.
"An issue of $4,000 copies of a SIM
liar booklet was printed and circulated
in the eastern states last year. The
results of this method of advertising
nave been so satisfactory to the board
that 1t vas decided to get out a larger
and more comprehensive edition this
year."
Far be 1t from this Idiot to suggest
that . like proceeding would bring gelt
