The Right Kind of Loyalty

fnement. He belongs to the in
feriOr race" but the following adj
dress delivered by him and print
ed in the Louisville Courier Journ-
al may we'll be read by every citl-
zen at this time of national crisis:
"We have a record to defend, but
not treason, thank God, to atone
or explain. While in chains we
fought to free white men-from
Lexington to Carrizal and re-
turned again to our chains. No
negro has ever insulted the flag.
No negro ever struck down
president of these United States.
No oneero ever sold a military map
or secret to a foreign government.
No negro eyer ran under fire or
lost an opportunity to serve, to
fight. to bleed and to die in the
republics cause. Accuse us OF
what you will-justly and wrong.
ly-no man can point to a single
instance of our disloyaltY. We
have but one country and one
flag, the flag that SET us free. Its
language is our only tongue and

Nails Hit Square
On The Head.

Murdo Coyote: Well, neiehbor,
did you have up a big stack of
hay for this winter? If not, re-
member the old Indian ada9e,
Heap hay, heap snow" or when
there is lots of hay to put up there
will be lots of snow-and be pre-
pared next time.
A few dollars invested in good
hay from now until grass comes
and properly fed will save you
lots of hides and enlarge your
bank account next fall.
1t is queer, but it is a fact, that
some of the best farmers we knew
who came out here from the east
failed, while some of the poorest
farmers have succeeded, which is
proof evident in our minds that
a man to farm this country wants
to forget he ever knew how to
farm back east, and farm here
under altogether different meth
DDS to cope with the conditions
that confront him here.
A thoughtful study of the old
mich COW and her needs, care.
tul handling of the cream checks
and an everlasting sticking on
the job are the only secrets of
climbing the ladder of prosperity
in this west river country.
Now is a good time to overhaul
that machinery and tighten up
all loose burs and replace that
bolt you broke just before you
finished with that certain piece of
machinery last year. When this
snow goes there will be lots of
muddy, wet fields so that disk
should be sharpened now and the
grain famed all ready for the
field so that the first day it will do
to work you will be Johnny on
the spot"
Everything looks favorable now
for another bumper crop so let
the good work go on.

Cream Producers
Association Meet

Philip Pioneer: 7 e annual
dinner given the members of the
Haakon County Cream Producers
Association at the Hoffman House
last Saturday was well attended
in spite of the bad condition of
the roads which kept many from
the country districts away. After
the dinner the association adj
journed to the City Hall where
the general business was taken
up, and the reports of the busi-
ness for the year was made. The
report showed that the station
had handled 86,248.7 pounds of
butter fat for which was paid the
sum of S27995.2l. The highest
price paid during the year was
AZ cents per pound and the low
est 81 cents.
The following officers were
elected for the coming year: Pres
ident, Martin Berke, Hilland,
Vice-Pres., O. f. Tell, Philip;
Secretary, George Norton, Philip.
The board of directors will con,
sist of the three officers named
above, and P. E. Byrnes, A. M.
Valsi9, o. ]. Gee and O. M. Culp.
While it has not been definitely
decided, it was thought advisable
to establish cream routes from
localities where the number of
patrons would warrant. The
cream will likely be hauled by
auto truck and one route that is
almost assured will cover the
country in the vicinity of Ash
creek.

Cooperation Needed
In Every Community

We are pleased to note through
some of our exchanges to the
west OF us, notably Kadoka and
Interior, that the town people are
falling in line with the proper
community spirit by making their
country people feel at home when
they came to town. Sad indeed
is the fact that a majority of the
toWnSpeople of these days give
their country friends the impress
sion that all they care about their
interests is to gain individual ad.
vanta9es. This is a mistaken
policy both on the part of the cit
'lzens of a town and country com
munlty. We western people who
are here for our own welfare and
the development of the new com
munltieS along all lines should
not lose sight of the fact that CO.
operation of all classes is one of
the very essentials for obtaining
the desired end. The towns
should take the initial steps in
bringing the country people to
feel that they are not after the
almighty dollars to the extent
that they are blind to the inter
.ests OF the general public al
though there are some business
men in every town who are TOO
tight for any material aid or ben
eflt to the community, and usual.
ly where you find anyone poison
ed against a town it can be traced
back TO some such a business
dealing as would naturally be ex-
peCted of these persons. Coop
GRAFTON and confidence in your
tellowmen is necessary if YOU ex-
peCt to get far, and one way the
business men of a town can Sc
cure this would be TO follow the
ideas OF the towns to the west
of us by asking the country
people to join in joint discus
sion of things that affect both
the country and town, such as
good roads for instance, Get to-
9ether and get acquainted with
the people with whom you have
to deal and you will find it worth
while, rather than always feeling
that the other fellow is trying to
get the best of you. This kind OF
team work" always has and al
ways will work to a disadvantage
OF everyone concerned. What
Murdo needs as much as anything
else right now is more co-opera
tlOn and team work with her
country communities and the
best way we can devise for get
ting more Of such is by making
the people of the community feel
that they are a vital part to the
advancement and welfare of the
community. Let's Sho all that we
are interested in the growth OF
the country as well as the com
mercial welfare of Murdo.
The Press is pleased to note by
the foregoing article from the
Murdo Coyote that the efforts be
ing made by the Kadoka business
people to establish a community
feeling of cooperation with the
farmers of her territory, is beng
recognized and approved by 9th
er towns. The interests of the
town people and the farmers are
mutual and the friendly co-opera-
ton which exists between Kado-
ka and the people of Jackson
county can be secured by any
town if they but try.
