, Makes Sales Record.

Z OF the 5000 electric irons put out
on trial by IN electric company recent
sly at Youngstown, o., only three came
back. The men in the sales depart
ment believe the company's policy of
requiring customers to return irons
themselves is responsible for this en-
viable record. The irons are put out
on Is days free trial, and If the Gus
toners ask for terms the payment is
spread over two or three months.
While it is thought that many irons
would be lost through this method, the
records show that the money for only
four irons out of the 5000 could not
bescollected. The people who had ac-
cepted these four irons on trial moved
out Of town before the first payment
was due.

Brookings, S. D. The war will
be won by shiploads Of bacon, not
lead," says Dr.. J. T. Dinwoodie,
extension specialist at State College,
therefore patriotic farmers will do
all in their power to preserve their
swine from cholera. The high prices
and general food shortage should be
further incentive DR.. Dinwoodie
offers the following suggestions:
Z Fifty-four per cent Of hog cholera
outbreak can be prevented. In other
words by the practice Of preventive
measures we can decrease hog cholera
losses by one half yearly. If we cut
off half every year we will soon
reach point where losses are infinit-
esimal. And in the mean time it has
cost but littte money to do so. Pre-
vent cholera by:.
1. Promoting the general health Of
the herd.
2. By preventing the movement OF
anything living or inanimate
away from or to your hog lots.
8 Prevent the hogs from becoming
wormy Treat them occasionally
with copperas or turpentine.
Il cholera does get in your herd.
l. Order serum. State College sells
It at cost.

AWAKE, AMERIC Cal ARISEl

America, thy freedom bought
With the biood Of patriots slain;
Thy sons will fight 40 our brothers
fought.
And this precioussgift maintain.
We will net yield this gift 40 dear
Nor temporixe in vain,
Like craven towards in deadly fear
ct wars travail and pain.
On Brandywine and Gettysburg,
Ger Montezuma' s hills,
In Spanish isles and Orient
Old Glory waved its thrills
To the heroes who have always
been &
Where our country peeds them most.
For with cleaning sword and bril-
liant pen
They led our loyal host.
They died that we might live
In this fairest land on earth;
They gave US united and happy
homes
For the mothers who gave us birth.
Would We preserve this honored
fame?
A great and peaceful nation?
Ye must prepare to give or dare,
Tho high or low your station.
Then awake, Americans !! Arise!
Defend our civilization!
Follow the flag that from the skies
Proclai ms a fearless nation.

school workers has been arranged by
the state executive committee for the
annual state convention to be held in
Aberdeen May 2 and 8, and local

it is hoped to touch the 1000 mark
this year.

A German professor has it figured
out that the United States being un-
able to secure any more potash from
Germany, will be unable to raise any

that she possesses all the brains Of
the world, but we didn't know that
she claimed sll the potash.

the appropriation Of $54, 600 by the

the auditor is instructed to issue a

SOME REMARKS

1t is easy enough to grind an ax if
one can get somebody to turn the grind
stone.
In most country towns ash day is
the day ashes are set out, not the dny
on which they are collected.
There are too many people who think
that their train of thought should have
the right Of way.
Nothing will arouse neighborhood
curiosity any quicker than going up on
the house and walking around on the
tin roof.

ers in our time, but we don't think we
ever heard one, outside of comic fiction

gone up, the poor old hobo finds ]
