REAL ESTATE DEALERS
COMMENCE ACTIVITIES

The Herald job department has
turned out considerable work
the past week for the several
hve-wire real estate dealers in
this section. The time is consid-
cred ripe just now to circulate
the eastern states with litera-
ture setting forth the advantages
of his community. One of the
dealers stated to the Herald last
week that he believed that there
would be a greater movement of
real estate the coming Spring
than ever before since the day of
the homesteader.
The price Of land, though it
shows slight advance, is still
within the reach Of the poor man
or the young man who is Just
starting out in life. While the
prevailing price for land is
around the $40 mark, there are
farms that cannot be purchased
for less than $75 per acre and
others that may be had for $40.
The enormous profits that are
being made from the raising of
alfalfa and the advances that are
being made along the lines of
dalrying and stock raising is rap
idly bringing the price of land
up. 1t will be only a few more
years until land will have doubl-
ed and very probably trebled in
price.

COMMERCIAL CLUB TO
SEND REPRESENTATIVES,

At the noon lunch on Monday,
at the Commercial Club rooms, it
was decided that a representa-
tive should be sent to Pierre to
look after the interests of this
community at the present legis-
lative session. There are several
matters that will come up that
are of vital interest to the peo-
pie Of this section and it was
deemed advisable to have some
one on the ground to see that
we were accorded fair treatment.
P. ]. Tscharner, former speak
er of the House, was selected as
the representative and. in the
opinion of the Herald, no better
selection could have been made.
Mr.. Tscharner has had sufficient
experience and is well enough ac-
quainted with the politicians of
the state to WELD a great deal of
influence in legislative matters.
The State Aid for Public High
ways Appropriations are among
the principle matters in which
the Club is interested and an ef-
fort will be made to have some
Of the State money expended on
the roads of Northwestern South
Dakota.
The Secretary of the Club was
also instructed to write to the
representatives from Perkins
County and the senator from this
district asking them to use their
influence in securing an appro-
priation for the immediate loca-
tion of an experimental farm in
this section. That this farm
would be of great benefit to the
northwest part of the state is be-
yond question and it is firmly be-
lieved that it would ultimately
prove to be of value to the en-
tire western half of the state.

N. d. CONSTITUTION

Bismarck, Jan.13.-The tenta-
tive outline of the proposed new
constitution for North Dakota,
which was submitted in the

important change in the bill OF
rights, giving the state or a
municipality the power to en-
gage in private business.
It is proposed to have the leg
islature submit the constitution

In the main, however, the pro-
posed constitution will not vary
much from the old one.

REFLECTIONS OF
4 BOWMAN BANKER

The January number of the
North Dakota Banker, which
was off the press on January 9,
carries on the front cover the
following reflections by J. f,
Phelan, the well-known banker
of Bowman and president of the
North Dakota Bankers associa-
ton:
There is always the day after
a spree, or any period of unusual
and prolonged hilarity.
"But, once a man mounts the
tripod on drink, the drama. the
church, or feminism, his friends
begin to leave earlier than usual.
The ancient human instinct to
leave a prophet alone is whole
some.
The country abounds with
prophetic forebodings just now.
but | am not a prophet.
Everything on earth now is
high and hard to get excepting
money and credit, ard getting
much of that depends on security
offered in line of property, or
character and industry.
We are plagued with prosper
ity, and plenty makes us poor.
The bankers should be opti-
mistic-while keeping the funds
of depositors safeguarded and
well secured.
We are on the verge in North
Dakota of an all-farmers govern
ment-by men academically and
practically educated. They can
not do worse than has been done
by some of their predecessors
and may do many things much
better-though men are never
very wise or select in the exer-
else of new power.
Yet we can have confidence in
our fellowman and do our best
for juccesful and honest govern
ment.'

HERALD TO ISSUE
APPRECIATION NUMBER

The Herald will come out next
week with a special Apprecia-
tion Week number in connection
with the North Dakota Appreci-
alton Week. While the Herald is
a South Dakota paper (that is,
published in a South Dakota
city, we feel that, since Lennon
is SO near the State line, we
should be as much interested in
the development of our North
Dakota territory as the territory
located in our own good state.
Therefore our appreciation issue
will in slight way express the
appreciation of the people of
Lennon, Of the efforts of our
North Dakota neighbors to build
up that magnificent state.
While we are not certain as
yet as to the number of pages
that the number will contain, we
hope to get out paper that will
be a credit both to Lennon and
the two Dakotas. Several pages
will be devoted to North Dakota
and its advantages, giving illus
trations and photographs of
scenes throughout the State, as
we'll as we'll written articles rel
ative to the educational system,
natural beauties, cities, roads and
crops.
In order to do justice to our
neighbors across the line, it is
necessary that the Herald be ac-
corded liberal patronage of it's
advertising columns. Help US
make this one Of the best num-
bers that is gotten out in the
Dakotas during this week. Show
the North Dakota patrons of
your store that you appreciate
their business and you can rest
assured that our North Dakota
neighbors will appreciate Lem
mons efforts.

DEMOCRATS OF STATE
TO GO TO INAUGURAL

Plans are on foot for a large
delegation of democrats from
this state to attend the inaugura,
tion of President Wilson on
Monday, March 5th.
T. L. Wanner has been appoint.
ed chairman of the State Inaugu-
ration Transportation committee
and is getting in touch with as
many citizens of the state as pos
sible to determine how many will
attend. On this depends the de-
cision Of whether to charter a
special train or to use several ex-
ira cars to the twin cities or
Chicago and join some special
there.
There are in all probability a
large number of people in the
state who are desirous of attend
ing the Inauguration and it is ex-
pected that there will be a suf-
fcient number to make a good
showing for South Dakota.
Mr.. Wanner, who is in charge
of the sleeping and dining car
service on the Milwaukee, with
headquarters in Aberdeen, was
a member of the state democrat
ic executive committee of the
recent campaign. and was also
manager of the state finances TO
carry on the campaign.

ABSOLUTE PROHIBITION
BILL Is INTRODUCED

Pierre, Jan. l5.-Modifying the
anti-saloon league prohibition
bill to- permit the receipt of a
/ quart of whiskey or a case of
beer every sixty days instead of
every month, friends of the
measure will introduce it to-
morrow, but it will find a bill of
absolute prohibition ahead of it.
Issues upon which the prohib-
itory enactment will be fought
were formulated when Kaas of
Marshall and Eggan of Roberts
Introduced their bill today.
1t prohibits the sale. manu-
facture or possession after July
|, or transportation into or across
South Dakota, of any liquor of
any kind. Two hundred 60 five
hundred dollars fine and sixty
days to six months in Jail is the
penalty. For second offenses a
year in the penitentiary is pro-
vlded. Violation by corpora
ton makes every agent, officer,
director and stockholder individ-
ualy liable. Sale by druggists
for medicinal purposes is permit
ted.
The first effort to pass the
budget bill in the house failed
late today.

COMMISSIONERS ASKED
TO PUBLISH PROCEEDINGS

A committee from the Com
mercial Club met with the City
Commissioners on Monday even
ing with a request that the pro-
ceedings of the Board be publish
ed in the Lennon papers. The
action was taken after consider
able discussion by members of
the Commercial Club.
The Commissioners did not
take any action on this matter at
the Monday night meeting and it
is very probable that little will
be done with the matter. 1t is
optional with the Commissioners
as to whether or not the minutes
are published.
The Herald at one time offer
ed to publish the minutes each
week as matter of news provid-
ed typewriter copy was furnish
ed each Tuesday following the
meetings. The offer is still open.
The Herald desires to give its
readers every available piece of
news matter and considers the
actions Of the city fathers a good
morsel for our readers.

ened Robt. Horn who sent in the
fire alarm. The fire department

and cinders from the burning
building over a large part OF the
east side and caused much excite.
ment among the residents Of
that part of the city.
The building and contents was
a total loss which is estimated at
$4,000 with $4,000 insurance,
The origin of the fire is unknown
but it is thought that it started
from an overheated furnace.
Provision has been made for
the scholars from the east side to
attend the west side school until
other arrangements are made
This will mean long walks for
the little folks on the east side
but the school board may be in
duced to make some provision to
haul them to and from school
during the extreme cold weather

WANTED AN ALFALFA

With the rapid advances that
are being made in the raising of
alfalfa, in the territory tribu-
tary to Lennon, it is an oppor-

While we realize that alfalfa

ply exceeds the local demand.

EQUIPMENT IMPORTANT
FACTOR
Good Surroundings Essential for
Successful Dairy Practice

OF the three prime requisites
for successful dairying; high
grade animals, good feed, and
proper equipment, the last, al
though often overlooked, is by
no means least important, ac-
cording to Professor Ben X. FL
dredge, dairy expert of the Ex-
tension Division of the Utah Ag-
ricultural College. Discussing
dairy equipment in general, Prof
essor Eldredge has this to say:
There are some yards and sta
bles where it takes an immense
amount of help to get the dairy
work done and others where the
same amount of help would re-
suit in almost twice the product.
Stables that are well lighted, well
arranged, with roomy feeding
alleys, hard floors with even sur
face which makes the work OF
cleaning much less; all of these
things make for low cost of
production. Yet you will go in
to hundreds of dairy barns where
there are no windows, where the
feed is crowded through narrow
spaces into cluttered hangers.
where the floors are rough and
uneven SO that hours of work
will not make them clean because
cleanliness is impossible under
such conditions.
Very often stock have to be
driven considerable distances to
water and this work alone adds
TO the cost OF the care of stock
and the irrcgularity that ncces-
sarily follows adds to the cost
of the product in that such irreg-
ularity always results in cur
tailment in the volume of the
milk. Then, too, the efficiency
of the workers is retarded by Such
conditions. They seem to be
carrying burden of inconNcn-
| fence that causes them to lag in
their work. Let us consider con
