The governors call is as follows:
During the winter months in this
climate, quantities of waste paper,
rags and various kinds of refuse and
rubbish accumulate. Such unsightly
accumulation not only seriously de-
tracts from the beauty OF the land

danger of fire and adversely affects

Big Store FAILS
DISASTROUS BUSINESS FAILURE
AT TIVIS, WRITTEN BY RE

which has been taken over by the inn
plement concerns which were among
the heaviest creditors of the estab-
lishment. When this section of west
ern South Dakota was invaded by
homesteaders and the big cattlemen
and their herds were forced farther
west, the store was started by a
wealthy cattleman, who believed the
homesteaders would stick" and who
apparently saw thousands in sight
from the big trade which he expected
to secure from the h~omesteaders OF
the surrounding region. But dry
years came, and many OF the home
steaders left and the business of the
store steadily declined until practic-
ally no trade was left. 1t is said the
cattleman who started the depart
ment store in the middle of a vast
prairie lost between $4,000 and
$4,000 through the venture.
