When Cows Were Worth $12

All of us old timers here can re-
call the years when good COWS were
sold at sales for $12 and SIS, hogs
almost as low in price, wheat As and
so and corn 16 cents. The writer
bought what was said to be the best
COW in eastern Brule county for $26
and it was not a hard times year
either. He also filled a stOrerOOm on
Main street with as fine corn as was
ever raised in Torrey Lake for 16
cents a busheI, and another room
with oats at less than 20 cents. In
those days you could stop in front
of the NOvotny store on the corner at
this time Of the year and buy two
big spring chickens for a quarter
all you wanted of them. When the
Kimball creamery was started and
for several years after the finest of
creamery butter brought only Is
cents net to the patrons, and you
could buy prime dairy butter in any
of the stores for 12h cents. You
couldn't step into variety store in
those times and pick out a hundred
and one useful articles for 10 cents
you would pay double the price you
do now for pots and kettles and 9TH
er hardware truck. And groceries
and dry goods were higher then, TAX
ing them as they run, than they are
right now in spite of the war.-Kim-
ball, South Dakota, Graphic.

I'M. C.A.P PLANNING FOR OPENING OF
 GYMNAST|C WORK
Equipment Is Being Given Thorough Cleaning-Plans Are Being Carefully
 Formulated

The physical department of the Young Mems Christian association is giving the gymnasium and it's equipment thor ough cleaning. and expects to have every thing in frst-class condition for the opening, of the fall and winter classes which takes place October 1. The policy outlined by Director Mitchell calls for a greater amount of exercise than has been given the past year. The entire membership seems to be anxious to get into the classified work and from present indications the department will have one of it's busiest years.
 The association is arranging a sur prise for the handball enthusiasts n the matter of some outdoor handoail courts, and if present plans go through the physical department will be equipped to serve the men who play this game at any hour of the day. There are no less than 50 men who play this popular game at this time and the number Will be easily doubled.
 The young aspirants for basketball honors have been inquiring at the asso-
  sport will begin, and great number are expecting to participate in the class leagues, color series and the city league and varsity.
 The boys class, under Professor Abell will be one of the largest of any year, and these youngsters always seem to get more out of the physical privileges than any other part of the membership.
 Director Mitchell has announced strong corps of medicat men who will give both physical and medical exami- nations to the men who use the physical privileges. Dr. w. T. Berry Is chairman of this committee.
 It is the policy of the department to start the physical work on strong, eff ficient basis. J. c. Hodges, who is chair man of the physical committee, will have a meeting of that committee in the next few days to discuss a policy and plans which best serve the men and boys Of Birmingham.

rational plea that we should help them win the war by using French luxuries. This seems complicated and contradic- tory only until you look into the situa- tion In order to raise money the French government is taxing and will probably continue to tax luxuries rather than the poor At the same time she is urging her people not to use luxurleS. AS France in times of peace and even now, to a certain extent, derives much of her revenue from the manufacture of lux uries, and leaves the making of the grim necessities of life to her more practical and matter-of-fact neighbors, a way has to be thought out by which these lux uries will be bought in order that the factories engaged in their manufacture will not be entirely discouraged and forced to the wall.
 Take, for instance, expensive clothes for women. It is surely not because France is in a mood for finery that she is straining every nerve to go on with the manufacture of costly women's wear at this time. As matter of fact, very few of the products of the great dress makers are bought by the French them selves. But France is going on with her designing and is putting as much spirit into it as she can muster in order to maintain her prestige and, as it were, to keep her hand in. So they say America has been her chief buyer this year and she is consequently very grateful, since it Is not an easy matter for America to import clothes from France at the present time.
