the farm.
Pierre-Ice at a zen a pound is
being advertised in some of the
smaller South Dakota towns, where
the supply was limited and all now
secured must be shipped in. The hot

along the river are heavy.
Pierre-Up to the present date,

kota have reached 1880, an in
crease from 1920 the first of July.
The registration for the state will
