DAKOTA MOST
HEALTHFUL STATE

Figures on the first selective
draft for army service reveal the
fact that South Dakota is the
most healthful state in the union,
having the least percentage of re-
jections More than eighty per
cent of the South Dakota men with
in the draft were found to be ply
sically fit. the best showing of any
state. Pennsylvania. Connecticut,
Vermont and Maine show the larg-
est number of reflections, more
than four out of every ten men
failing to meet the government re-
quirements.
The largest percentage of rejec-
tions on physical grounds were
from ailments to the eye, ear and
teeth, and special study Of the fig
ures reveals the fact that the city
men are only very little below
he rural recruits in physical fit
ness 1t also shows that the men
Of today are healthier than during
the civil war, when the percentage
of reflections were 81 90 as compar-
ed with 29.11 per cent under the
recent examinations.

1T TAKES WATER TO MAKE
EGGS

An essential factor often over
looked in egg production is the wat
er requirement Of laying hens. The
egg is composed of more than nifty
per cent water, the hens body is
largely composed of water, conse-
quently it is necessary that plenty
of fresh water be provided so that
the hens will have access to 1t at
all times. If supplied irregularly
fowls are likely to drink too much
at a time 1t should not be ex-
posed to the suns rays in summer
nor be allowed to freeze in winter.
In very frosty weather 1t is often
worth while to supply slightly
warmed water two or three times
a day rather than permit the birds
to drink water at the freezing
point. A flock of SO hens in good
laying condition will require 4 to
6 quarts of water day. Remem-
Der that by cutting down the water
supply, the egg yield may be de-
creased fifty per cent in few days
time.-Ed l.. Hayes, Extension

GERMAN PAPER TELLS
OF HARDSHIPS

The following is said to be story
taken from the Leipziger Volks-
zeitung, German paper of date OF
October 18th, 1917.
"A sample of the fashion after
which bloated landlords treat the
wives of soldiers is brought to our
attention from Upper Langenau in
Silisia. One Of the hired men OF
DIR. Mueller's agricultural estate
has been for long time at the
front. His wife, who had worked
alongside her husband before the
war after the usual custom, re-
mained in the ranks of the field
hands and accordingly retained her
cottage. October 1st this woman
got the following letter:
'The undersigned bailiff of the
estate hereby gives you notice as
the date to the field service for
January l, 1918. On that day you
are to give up your house. The
work you are doing on the farm
does not compensate the farm for
the loss which accrues to it
through the continued support of
your family. Look out for your
self away from this farm, your
house is needed for other use.''
"The woman communicated the
notice to her husband with these
words: 1 must tell you my dis
tress, soon l shall not be able to
see the paper for my tears. What
shall | do? Winter is at the door
and the cottage is full of little
children"
Thus the bailiff of the estate of
a bloated landlord turns a family
with little children out of doors
in midwinter while the man is at
the front. Comment takes care OF
ITSELF"

wounded but later was able to give
an account of what happened, and
as a consequence Captain Lewis R.
Whistler, an army officer killed
himself leaving note that told
of the act.
The cashier of the bank was the
only survivor of the tragedy, told
that after the five men had been
bound and the money secured, the
robber started out of the door,
when one of the men claimed that
he recognized him, whereupon he
returned and killed four of them
and seriously wounded the fifth.
Captain Whistler was veteran of
the Spanish-American war and was
about 40 years Of age.

age. How did they do it? Did
they send Representatives into the
rural communities to solicit trade?
Did they simply open their places
OF business and wait for customers .
They did not They obtained all
not part but ALL-of their
patronage by the use of printers
ink. They advertised. The aver
age local merchant does not seem
to realize, even with this gigantic
object lesson before him that the
means employed by these concerns
are also at his disposal. Through
the medium of the printed word
they tell the public what they
have to sell.
Experience has shown that
quality for quality the local mer-
chants prices are no higher than
those of the mail order house and
they save the purchaser transporta-
ton charges. The difference is
that the mail order house tells the
public what it has to sell and the
non-advertising merchants does not
"The latter frequently advances
the argument against advertising
that everyone knows where his
store is and what he has to SELL
He is wrong. Everyone does not
know what he has to sell. If he
doubts this let him compare his
present stock with that of five
years, three years or even one year
ago and note the many new things
he has on his floors or shelves, new
things that are the product of in
ventive genius or of changing fash
ions. He keeps abreast of the
market changes but all his Gus
tomers do not, hence they do not
know what he has to SELL
And there are object LESSONS
nearer home, /. e., the large and
prosperous city department stores.
They realize the power of adver-
Using and make liberal use of it.
''These city concerns are taking
advantage Of the inactivity of the
local merchant along advertising
lines and the space he declines to
buy in the local newspapers is be-
ing bought by them. This has re-
suited in bringing to their stores
hundreds of customers from the
smaller places and 1t has also been
factor in creating in these stores
large departments where are re-
ceived by mail, orders from per-
sons who do not come to the stores
but who find in the concerns ad-
vertisements mention of various
articles they want.
Some day the small town mer-
chant will realize the importance
of advertising as factor in busi-
ness but in many cases the awaken
ing may come too late"

SLAMS RED CROSS; is SORRY

During the Christmas Member
ship Drive one of the up-country
pOstmasterS was one of our en-
thusiastic workers in this county
He approached one of the patrons
entering his store with a member
ship list and was met with a gruff
"Oh, l don't take any stock in the
Red Cross. 1t is mostly a graft
and" The critic got no further.
Something hit him. 1t also
scratched him, flung him through
a show case, dressed him down with
the coal scuttle, drug him along
the floor, and finally kicked him
through the door out into the cold
and cheerless prairie. When the
bouncing earth steadied itself again
SO he could get to his feet the man
who took no stock in the Red
Cross begged that he be given his
mail. Our good friend the post
master told him to stay where he
was and the mail would be han
ded to him, and they say in that
neighborhood that when this critical
fellow goes after his mail, ne
carries with him a fish pole which
he pokes through the door, gets
his newspapers duly tied to the end
thereof, and goes his way without
venturing any remarks about the
Red Cross. We take off our rat
and most humbly salute that post
master. Midland Mail.

The state college at Brookings
has undertaken the task of ascer-
tanning the approximate amount of
seed corn in the state in order that
such as is not needed for home use
may be sent to other state where
it is going to be in great demand.
On another page will be found a
coupon with instructions how to
fill out and send in samples of
seed. 1t is the duty of every
farmer who has supply on hand
to attend to this at once as there
will no doubt be a great shortage
of good seed corn this spring in
the state where the crop last year
was caught by the frost.

NON-ADvERTIsING MERCHANTS

Although merchants in the small
er towns and cities throughout the
country are the ones who complain
most bitterly of the competition of
mail order houses, many OF these
very men refuse to adopt the means
which made competitors prosper
advertising. In a recent issue of
the Chatham IN. Y.) Courier, the
editor makes some very interesting
and pertinent remarks regarding
the non-advertising merchant:
"The country merchant deplores
the fact that the mail order houses
are making inroads on his patron
