Sioux Falls has information to the
effect that the national campaign in
this state viii be quite a battle.
Both parties will send in speakers of
national reputation to assist local

General B~urleson, and Senator Ollie
James, of Kentucky.
1t is said that the republicans will
send Judge Hughes. republican can.
dldate for president, Col. Theodore

INDIANS HOLD FAIR
SAME AS WHITES
Reservation Indians Exhibit Grain
Vegetables Etc

Cheyenne River Agency, Sept. Is.
The annual Indian fair closed here
Saturday. 1t is estimated that 1000
Indians we're encamped hereabouts
and there were many white visitors
from different parts of South Da-
kota.
A very prominent feature of the
fair was the exhibit of grain and live
stock. In the grain department the
corn show attracted a greal deal Of
attention. Squaw and flint corn
were much in evidence and the ex-
hibit of northw estern dent was the
subject of comment by visitors from
east of the river. Corn raisers con-
slider this the best all around variety
Of dent corn for this latitude and it
is remarkable that there should be so
much more of it shown here than at
the county fairs. This is taken as an
index to the progressiyeness of the
new Indian" There were vege
tables shown in abundance. Some
exceptionally large turnips and
pumpkins, also a strange exhibit OF
the wild plant known as Indian
bread"

Joy, Grief Sorrow,
Mirth and Sarcasm

The we'll springs of life as touched
in a newspaper Office are thus de-
scribed by the Oakley. Kans.. Crap
hic:
This newspaper business is a great
game. Just in the midst of an obit-
uary of a dear friend and when hot
tears threaten to flow down and bloc
out the wordsy you write. there breaks
through the office door the radiant
face of the daddy of a new boy.
Tears and joy mlngle in the same
breath, and the giving and taking
away of life are recorded on the
same page.
Before you have finished the
obituary the breezy advance man for
a comedy show pops in and asks you
to write a scream for his Forty Fat
Frolicsome Fairies and how joyous
they are. Before YOU have done with
the kind words about your departed
friend, the joy over the new baby,
and finished the Snowman ad. a fel.
low sneaks IN to ask you to suppress
the story of the fight that he was
mixed up In. Then, putting al the
lace and trimmings on the brides
wedding gown. dressing the groom
in conventional black and starting
them off with congratulations and
best wishes. you turn again to the
tear side of life.
Then comes a lull and the old
typewriter is content to record the
commonplace facts, knowing that
just around the corner, and each
awaiting his turn. stand JOY, Grief,
Sorrow. Mirth. Sarcasm, Wit. and
Laughter"

Good Old Things
We Hate to Change

Take the hitching posts off Main
street, and drive the farmers away
from this town? Mar alive, you're
crazy!" This echo comes gently
down the ages. Even the farmers
don't want them now. Autos stand
without hitching.
In a town not a thousand miles
away whose citizens boast of many
miIe of expensive cement sidewalk,
the first little board sidewalk pro.
posed on a principal street was op-
posed by good citizens whose own
fortunes were bound up in the towns
progress.
Some citizens with a dream of i'm.
provement started q movement to
grade up their town streets-and
some highly intelligent folks came
out of their homes. sat on the ground
and dared the workmen to pillow an
other furrow! OF course they won
temporarily.
A few other dreamers foresaw the
necessity Of water works. sewers.
and other modern necessities. 1T
cannot be DONE" said good men.
But others persisted, the improve
ments were made, others followed.
and more will come.
Would the town 60 back to the
hitching posts, to the mud hole
streets. to the board sidewalk. the
old water barrel. or do without the
sewers?

experience and wisdom, he smiles at

or that thing which had cast ,ts

are started. Such an examination
would undoubtedly prevent many
fires. Chiefs of fire departments are
