A Good Statement

Jackson county citizens do not
want to miss reading the statement
of the condition of the Farmers
State Bank which appears else
where in this issue of the Press.
The statement shows the inStitu-
ton to be in fourishing condition
and when you stop and consider
how Just this spring this bank has
negotiated loans running up into
the thousands of dollars to enable
our citizens to add more live stock
to their herds and otherwise add to
their belongings, you can appre-
ciate having such a banking house
in our midst.
Cashier Snyder has the we'll
earned reputation among the lead
ing fnanciers of the northwest Of
being a conservative banker, and
during his ten years experience in
Jackson county he has proven to
the customers of his bank that
their interests have at all times
been taken care of, and fore
closures of any kind are unknown
to this institution. While un-
doubtedly it has taken lots of work
and worry to take care of the many
patrons during the bad years pre-
ceeding last year, success has at
tanned the effort and prosperity has
been the reward of both bank and
customer. Don't fail to read the
statement.

like that, for / believe in the plain
people. Finally a travelling man
brought me to this town and left
me here. / was so glad to get
back to smaller town that | was
determined to make a desperate ef-
fort to stay. One day citizen OF
this town was about to send me
back to that big city. | caught
him looking over a mail-order cata-
logue. Suddenly | found my voice
and said to him: Look here, if
you'll let me stay in this town I'll
circulate around ard do you lot
of good. You buy a beef steak
with me, and the butcher will buy
groceries, and the grocer will buy
hardware and hardware man will
pay his doctor bill with me, and
the doctor will spend me with
farmer for oats to feed his horses
with, and the farmer will buy some
fresh meat from the butcher, who
will come around to the dentist to
get his tooth mended. In the long
run, as you see, I'll be more useful
to you here at home than if you
send me away forever" )"
The man said it was a mighty
stiff argument. He hadn't looked
at it in that light before, SO he
went and bought the beefsteak,
and | began TO circulate around
home again. Now, just suppose
all the other dollars that are sent
to Chicago or some other big city
were kept circulating right at home,
you could see the results quickly.

Mail Route Is Needed

Ever since the county was divid-
ed the need has been apparent for
a direct mail route between the
county seat towns of Jackson and
Haakon counties. The effect of
the division has been to wonder
fully increase the correspondence
between the two places and as they
are the largest towns on this por-
ton of either line of railroad there
is no reason why with the united
efforts of the business men of both
towns the route could not be easily
obtained. This wonld mean not
only better mail service but it
would also be an incentive toward
establishing and improving of the
highway connecting the two towns.
Jackson county could easily fix
her II miles of road to the Haakon
county line and while the two miles
from the line on into Philip is
about as (damable) piece of road
as one could imagine. if the route
were established, we have conf
dence that this matter could easily
be handled. Why not a good
move for our Commercial Clubs !?
Let's hear from Kadoka. Philip
Pioneer.
The Press is inclined to agree
with the Pioneer and we would like
to see our commercial club become
interested in the matter. With
our train service on the bum from
two to four months year mail
route between here and Philip,
would be a great benefit to the
whole community.

Why Elephants Fear Mice.

I, seems almost incredible that so small and harmless an animal as mouse is able to frighten an elephant almost out of his senses, yet one little mouse in the hay on which they are feeding will stampede an entire herd. In the elephants native land there are little animals known as chacanas, which feed on a small sour berry of which elephants are very fond.
 They live in settlements, something after the manner of prairie dogs, un- der the berry bushes; and sometimes, when feeding, the elephants trample upon the little towns, and the chaca- nas in their fright frequently run up the tubes of the elephants trunks.
 Their long, sharp claws catch in the flesh, and they cannot be elected. The more violently the monster blows through its trunk the more firmly the hooked claws of the little animal be- come imbedded in the flesh, and in- flammation and death are the result. In captivity, therefore, the elephants think they are in danger of the deadly chacanas 'Fhen they see mouse and show signU of great fear.
