Weather REPORT
GREAT NEED OF MOISTURE IN
ALL SOUTH DAKOTA.

Huron, Oct. 5.-The weekly re-
port of the state crop service is as
follows:
The average temperature of the
past week was slightly above normal,
though some of the nights were rath-
er cool. There were moderately
heavy showers at a few places, but
over most of the state there was a
continued deficiency of rainfall. The
ground is becoming very dry and
hard. and blowing is very difficult.
Also it is too dry for fall seeded
grain. Conditions have been favor
able for threshing and potato dig
ging. Pastures dr." crying up. but

ALL War FUNDS
SOUTH DAKOTA LAW MAKES
POSSIBLE EQUAL DIS
TRIBUTION.

Pierre, Oct. South Dakota's
special session enacted a law making
it possible for county commissioners
to appropriate out of the general
fund of the county the share for war
drives including the well known be-
nevolences like Red Cross, Y. M. G..
A., Y. w. C. A., the Knights of Co
lumbus, etc., if a county so desired
instead of soliciting through private
subscription the allotment of each
county. Consequently in the big war
fund drive now on for the even rec
ognized war charities all over the
United States, South Dakota counties
are chiefly appropriating their share
from their general fund.
In this district, composed of Haa-
kon. Hughes. Stanley, Sully. Hyde
and Jackson counties. all have appro-
priated through this method. and the
fund is therefore properly reached.
1t is learned here that at least SO OF
the more than so counties of the
state have followed this method, the
county commissioners meetings hav-
ing taken place October l and 2 over
the state to appropriate such allot-
ments.

seen seeping through the roof.
Crowds OF people assembled ex-
pecting to see the row of frame
structures that adjoined the burning
building completely wiped III which
would indeed have been the case

wind was blowing and the fire COM

the flames.
Some insurance was carried on the

tered and as 1t was no damage was
suffered in any building except the

COPPER-CLAD WEEK
Next Week, October 7-12

No matter whether you want a range now
or next year or any other time. it will pay you
to come and see the Copper-Clad Crank make
the Asbestos sweat.
He takes any piece of Asbestos, puts it be-
tween two iron plates-heats it-and shows
you the sweat. You can roll it up in drops
with your finger.
Every good range must be lined with as
bestos to cage and hold the heat around the
oven and keep down fuel cost. Every time

The Copper-Clad Idea Is "a Sheet of Pure
Copper Between the Asbestos and Range Body

Not by hearsay-but by the evidence of your
own eyes. Remember, this Copper-Clad Crank
is here to tell-to show-to explain. He de-
lights in it. You won't bother" him by ask
ing questions. HMe has coolies of time to an
swer and here is he to "Show You"
A sheet of pure Copper is placed BETWEEN
the sweaty asbestos and range body. To place
it elsewhere would be like climbing on top of
a roof to get out of the wet.
The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1918-10-05

the range cools off, the asbestos takes mois-
ture out of the fresh air circulating through
the range like a blotter takes up water. When
you fire III, this moisture, driven by the heat
to the outside against the cold range body and
starts Sweat-Rust on the inside where you
can't get at it even though you know it rusts.
Sweat-Rust ruins thousands and thousands of
otherwise good ranges every year. When the
body is gone, the range is done for.
The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1918-10-05

Copper never rusts. 1t may tarnish, but it
will last centuries. There are Copper Domes
that have been defying the elements for. hun
dreds OF years. SO, when we say a Copper
Clad can't rust out" we mean that the copper
lining overcomes all internal rust. Your
greasy rag will keep the outside free of rust
and there are no fussy ornaments full of rivets
and bolts to skin your hands. The Copper
Clad wipes clean like a dish.
If these things are so-you should know it.
