people north of us produce more than
they consume and are in competition
with US in the production of the same
articles of food Hence. if South Da-
kota is to build elevators outside of the
state they should be built in the
south and east of us. In the judgment
or the writer, however, a majority of
storage houses built by this state
should be within the state. The people
of the world will come to the state OF
South Dakota to buy the grain stored
here and they should be able to buy it
without grain gambling or any other
manipulation.
The time has come for a broader and
more comprehensive understanding Of
public question, fairer and more equal
distribution of the wealth produced.
The railroads should never again be
turned over to private ownership or op
operation. The peoples government
is the only power great enough and fair
enough to excuse such powers. This
state should develop it's own coal mines
and furnish fuel at less than half the
price now paid on account of long
freight hauls. The state is the only
power big enough to cope with the
packers and prevent the consumers from
being forced to pay for meat produced
in South Dakota price representing a
freight charge. from Chicago to South
Dakota, while the producers are COM
ers are compelled to SELL no matter
at which point, at a Chicago price with
freight deducted from Chicago. And,
aside from all of this, the manipulation
of the cattle markets in the interest of
the five great packers would almost be
beyond belief, had it not been for the
recent disclosures made by the federal
trade commission.
The above are the great issues before
the people of this state at this time,
and they should be fully and fairly dis
cussed on their merits without preju-
dice.
Reader. regardless of what may be
your profession, trade or occupation,
you will be benefited should the above
demands be enacted into law.

brookinps, April %. South Dakota
famers who need emergency help may
obtain relief in the recent congress
sional act giving General Crowder
power to furlough men of the ma
tional army still training in the Unit
ed States, for work on farms. Any
soldier with farm experience and in a
grade below first sergeant is eligible

severe labor shortage at such times
as seeding and planting.
w. q. Boardman, farm help speci-

by a soldier or by farmer needing a
man. This must be endorsed by the
county agricultural agent or emer-
gency demonstration agent end then
taken to the local board for it's rec
ommendation.
Farmers needing help should see
their county agent, who will endeay-
or to find men at reasonable wages or
the county agent will help to make
out an application for soldier who
is to be paid the going wage by the
farmer employing him, Where there
is no county agent, applications may

do for several seasons. As a rule we
hear from only a small percentage of

Barker Predicts Improvement.

men, W J. Barker, assistant manager
Of the Hotel Sheldon, says:
This being the winter season, tour

been better than it was during the

Men Now at Home Is
Suggested

Not only whale meat. but whale shoes
arc to be part Of every day life
in the near future. Experts at the
exposition of chemical industries at the
Grand Central Palace have a display
of fine leather made from the skin of
the shark and porpoise, the Goldfish and
the tuna fish, all of which, they insist,
is as durable as leather made from
four-legged creatures.
The scientists at Pratt institute and
the United States Bureau of Fisheries
have been experimenting upon fish skin
as Il substitute for leather. and the
raw hide of sharks and porpoises al
ready is in commercial use Porpoise
skin razor strops have been used for
years, and other kinds of fish leather
would have been on the market long
ago, the scientists say. had il not been
that there was an abundance Of real
leather.
The exhibition has another con-
tribution to make 10 everyday prob
lens, namely, that Of iuel conservation.

that all they could get to burn was coal
