Anita Stewart In Dixie Play.

1.-THE Message OF the Mouse" at the
Dixie today. is an interesting drama
of love and international intrigue in
which stray mouse unconsciously
moulds the destiny of nation as well
as Of the two lovers in the cast. 1t
gives a detailed presentation Of the
nefarious methods of foreign spies in
the United States and abounds in Sc.
cret codes, mysterious messages and
furniture which looks innocent enough
but which can be instantly converted
into trap or hiding place. Out Of
all this chaos of intrigue the winning
personality Of the heroine arises to set
things straight and to marry the hero

The engaging personality OF Anita
Stewart is presented at its best by
very skillful direction which brings out
the high lights in each situation.

Use The Newspaper

No, business man in any town
should allow a newspaper pub
Iished in his town to 60 without
his name and business being
mentioned somewhere in its
columns. This applies to all
kinds of businesses-general
stores. dry goods, grocers. fur
niture dealers, manufacturing
establishments, professional
men. automobile mechanics,
and in fact all classes of bust
ness men. This does not mean
that you should have a whole
or half page or even a quarter
page ad in every issue of the
paper, but your name and bus
mess should be mentioned if
YOU do not use more than a two
line space. A stranger picking
up a newspaper should be able
to tell just what business is rep
resented in the town by look
ing at the business announce
ments in the paper. This is
the best possible town adver-
tiser. The man who does not
advertise his wares does an in
Justice to himself and his city.
The man who insists on sharing
the business that comes to the
town but refuses to advertise
his business is not a valuable
addition TO any town.
The life of any town depends
upon the live, wide-awake and
liberal advertising business
man.-Montana Trade Journal.

Doing Their Bit

Many times we hear COM
ments on the way newspapers
are called upon to give space to
matters pertaining to the war.
We have many times reali ed
the great outlay necessary to
handle this matter, and we
have frequently noted that the
pondingly larger proportion
than any of the larger papers
coming to this office. And
some of the smaller weekly pa
|pers are doing theirsharefaith-
fully. A couple of weeks ago
the writer set one of our neigh
boring papers on the Linotype.
and had a good chance to note
its contents. The bill for COM
position was something like
ten dollars and we noted that
nearly half the matter pertain
ed to the work of the Red
Cross. Food drive, the emer-
gency demonstration agent and
other phases of war activities.
And the five dollars spent for
composition was but a part of
the expense. All the matter
had 10 be made up" in the
forms, occupying space that
sells for twelve and a half
cents per inch, to the value of
five or six dollars more and the
attending expense of printing
addressing, mailing and post
age. So, it would seem that the
one issue had cost this editor
around ten dollars to further
the cause and the work in its
interest. And yet there are
possibly those who never give
the matter a passing thought.
The editor mentioned is also a
hard worker in the Red Cross
and is giving to the work more
than any half dozen members
of the organization in that 10
cality. And tits all willingly
and cheerfully given.

Linotype Operator
Wanted

The Democrat very much de-
sires the services of "a Good
Linotype operator. The mat
ter of wages will be measured
by the man and up to $50 per
week will be paid to a man
who can deliver quality and
quantity sufficient to justify
lit.
He must be able to care for
his machine and keep it run
ming without ruinOus repair
bills, and not have, over forty
errors to the column.
We don't care what his per-
sonal habits are SO long as he is
on the job nine hours a day
and gives satisfaction.
The last operator that we
had left the machine in such
shape that we had to 90 to the
expense of having two experts
work it over and the repair
bill will take three months
profits, besides practically lay
ing the machine out for a
couple of weeks. We want no
more of that kind.
If this item meets the eye of
a man who can make good we
would like to hear from him.
And if there is any doubt about
it better save car fare as a dub
can't stick any longer than it
takes to find it out, and we
have had considerable eXper-
fence in this line.

Want DAKOTA SEED
EMERGENCY DEMONSTRATION
AGENT URGES FARMERS TO
SELECT SEED AT ONCE.

Sioux Falls, Oct. 19.-George B.
Kennard, emergency demonstration
agent for Minnehaha county. has is
sued an urgent appeal to the farmers
who have not yet selected their seed
corn for next year to do so at once.
He sizes up the situation as follows:
Owing to the early frosts in
southern Minnesota, northern Iowa,
Wisconsin and Michigan. there is
likely to be an unusual demand for
South Dakota seed corn, in addition
to the usual demand from North Da-
kota. Wyoming, Idaho. East Oregon
and Washington, as well as u own
state. The 1913 corn crop depends
in a large measure, upon the seed Sc
lected at this time and prior to this
time. The hard frost in this locality
a short time ago, undoubtedly did
considerable damage to seed corn
still in the field. Some farmers have
reported that the cob was badly
frozen. If this is the case. the germ
ination power is undoubtedly lower
ed. However, much good seed corn
can still be gathered in the field be-
fore husking time. Those ears that
are reasonably dry and sound are not
likely to be injured to any degree.
They may be, however, IL left in the
field until corn picking time. Let us
not depend upon crib seed" for our
1918 corn crop. III your seed has not
been gathered. why not do ii now and
help insure a humping 1918 corr crop
for Minnehaha county?"
