Truthful Advertising
Statute Now Exists

Editor The Saturday News:
read with interest your pupiication
of last week concerning the campaign
inauglrated by the Watertown Adyer-
Using club 70 suppress untruthful ad-
yertising together with your own com
mont IN same and although not per
~sona,ly interested in the subject from
a business standpoint, | m glad to
note the action which is being e
In connection with your comments
YOU speak of the fact that Minnesota
and some other states have statutes
enacted to cover untruthful advertls-
ing and also that it would be we'll for
the honest merchants if some such
| statutes were enacted in South Da-
kota.
For the purpose Of keeping the rec
ords absolutely straight in the mat
ter. beg to advise that the Legislature
of 1913 did enact legislation of that
nature, same appearing as chapter Is
in the Sessions Laws of 1913 and GOV
ering in a very complete manner the
point that you bring out.
The law is as follows:
"If M person, firm corporation or
association, or any employe thereof,
in a newspaper, circular, form letter
or other publication published, dis
tributed or circulated in this common
wealth or any billboard, sign, card,
label or other advertising medium
displayed on, in or near a street cleo
trio car, show case, store or other
place in this commonwealth, knowing
Nv makes or disseminates or causes
to be made or disseminated any state
or assertion Of fact concerning
the quantity, the quality, the method
of production of manufacture, the
cost of production, the cost to the
advertiser, the present or former
price. or the reason for the price OF
the merchandise OF such person, firm
or corporation or association, or con
corning the manner or source OF pur
chase of such merchandise or the
possession of rewards, prizes or dis
tinctions conferred on account of such
merchandise, which statement or as
has the appearance of an offer
advantageous to the purchaser and is
untrue or calculated to mislead, the
person or corporation, or the mem
Der or members of a firm or associa-
ton, causing such statement or as
sertion to be made or disseminated,
also the employe making or dissemin-
ating such statement or assertion,
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and
shall be liable to q fine of not less
ten nor more than one hundred
dollars for each offense."
am calling this to your attention.
not from any desire to contradict
your statement but in the belief that
you will want the true facts concern-
ing the matter and that you will be
interested in knowing that this NATL
ter has already been considered OIL
sufficient Importance by the South Dali
kota legislature to receive attention
1t their hands.
Yours truly, !

$. I. A. Notes

A very interesting meeting was held by the s. l. A. on Frl- day Feb. 25th.
 Domestic science was the sub- feet under discussion and ex- tra efforts have been made to secure a large attendance for this meeting. MT. Baumgartner gave a talk on the subject and outlined the plans for the intro duction of this new work into our schools. At the present time it will be taught to the High School girls. but if sufficient ln- terest is shown to make the ex- pertinent a success 1t IS proposed to make it a part of the regular course of study and also extend it to the lower grades.
 The s. I. A. has labored long al earnestly to this end and

Brinkley Escape Convict Surrenders to Penitentary

Tom Dillahunty, a Brlnkley negro who was sent up from the Monroe Circuit Court last Spring to serve a several years sentence in the Penitentary and who escaped from the State Convict farm at Cummins, Feb. 3rd.. when the convict farm was flood ed by the Arkansas River over flow, walked into the farm last Thursday and surrendered to the Guards.
 Dillahunty is the negro who ran the dive in East Brinkley dner which an under ground chamber was found with secret trap door passages from Dilla- hunty's gambling den. Dllla- hunty received 7 year sentence on a charge of assault with intent to kill. His return to the State Convict farm unattended by any one is pretty good evidence that the state convicts are not very badly treated.
 Tom is said to have visited Brinkley during his 20 days ot freedom.

See that man? He lives down near Moro and came to Brinkley to do some shopping. He brought along 30 dozen eggs and expect ed to sell them in order to get his cash to spend for merchan- disc. He told me ne couldn't sell 'em, trade 'em or dispose of them at all and had to carry them back home. c; sh ,d a check for $3.O0 on an out of town bank in order that he might procure goods he needed but he said never again in Brinkley for me. Now Pm telling you this because you are newspaper man and 1 think our business men ought to see to it that farm CTS are given a ready market for their products. If we ever build a city here, Brinkley merchants have got to do as well by the farmers as the merchants of other towns. l know that at Hazen, Carlisle and other towns merchants are buying all kind of poultry products and even ship it 10 our Brinkley merchants

DOWN AT CLARENDON
Busy Cleaning and Clear. ing Away Signs of the

The ARGUS man paid a visit to Clarendon, the county site. last Friday and viewed for the first time since the recent flood, our sister city.
 Walking up gravel street from the Cotton Belt Depot. piles of debris, such as fences. small houses, closets, furniture, can be noticed on all sides. When you get further up town, near the business houses the big plate glass fronts broken out, boats in the streets, signs on the fronts, etc., show unmistakably how dreadful must have been the conditions when the water covered the city.
 Walking along the sidewalk in front of the Bakery and A. G. Brown Grocery the water mark s show that it reached a depth of more than 6 feet.
 Clarendon people, true to their heroic energy and pluck, are

Catron, Ky.-In an interesting letter from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock writes as follows: "I suffered for four years, with womanly troubles, and during this time, could only sit up for little while, and could not walk anywhere at all. At times, would have severe pains in my left side.
 The doctor was called in, and his treat ment relieved me for a while, but was soon confined to my bed again. After that, nothing seemed to do me any good. l had gotten 50 weak l could not stand, and gave up in despair.
 At last, my husband got ne bottle Of Cardui, the woma9s tonic, and com- menced taking #. From the very first dose, could tell twas helping me. l can now walk two miles without its tiring me, and am doing my work"

Select your seed corn. If you have to buy, get seed corn ill the ear. The nearer we'll bred seed corn is grown to the farm on which it has been planted, the better the yield. Good corn grown on your farm is better for seed than equally as good corn grown in another part of your county. Good corn grown in your county is better for seed than equally as good corn grown at a greater distance. Select good ears for seed. Test each ear for vigor of germination and use for seed the corn from the ears that show the greatest vigor.
