Nearly tDice as strong

Epson Board is really artificial lum-
ber-for it is made entirely of spruce and
other pure wood fibre. fabricated under
enormous pressure into laminated boards
of uniform thickness.

What strength means to you
Epson Board on your walls is less likely
to buckle, warp or sag, as inferior boards
sometimes do.

Why Upson Board is the strongest and most
dependable 1uaA- board made in American

Then each panel is subjected to the
original Epson method of scientific pro-
cessing whereby each panel is kiln-cured,
water-proofed and surface-hlled (or
primed}
This process insure supreme strength
and maximum service.
The Mullen Tester, the official tester
of the U. S. Government. proves that
Epson Board withstands pressure of
nearly 400 pounds to the square inch
whereas other boards break at from 200
to 235 pounds pressure.
The secret of Epson Strength
The secret is the Upson process-and
the use of the longer. tougher, cleaner,
better wood fibres.
A microscope clearly shows an amazing
difference in length and strength of fbres
in Upson Board as contrasted with other
boards.
Because Upson Board is strong and stiff
as lumber-a carpenter can put up third
more Upson Board in given time.
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1919-10-09

One year-hve years--or ten years
from the time you put Upson Board on
your walls and ceilings-you will be
satisfied with the job.
The best proof of this is that the Upson
Company has had less than one COM
plant to each three million feet of Epson
Board sold and used.
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1919-10-09
Takes paint better, too

Upson Board usually cuts the cost of
painting in two because its surface is
properly primed and is free from wax
or grease.
Epson Board resists moisture and ordi-
nary leaks because it is properly water
proofed with high-grade oils and gums.
The little difference in price does not
measure the big difference in quality.
No matter phere or hou you want TO use
t0an-6oard, for your otun protection, insist on
biue-cenfer Epson Board-fhe board that is
different.

100 PER CENT PROFIT
Retail Dealers Are Being Investigated at
Mitchell-Are Making Big Profit
on Some Commodities.

Mitchell, 5. d., Sept. 22.-Retail mer-
chants in certain lines Of business are
making as high as one hundred per cent
profit on some OF The commodities they
handle. This is gathered from figures
tabulated by the special committee
appointed several weeks ago by Major
j T.. Wells at the request of the de
partment of justice. The committee at
present is in the midst of an exhaus-
tive investigation which will cover
every phase Of merchandising ia the
city.
Recently added impetus was given the
committee by the receipt of wire from
Washington, giving the committee the
power to summon witnesses and take
testimony
As a result a number of merchants
have been summoned 10y the committee
and some highly interesting facts deyel
oped In some instances, even as re-
suit Of the investigation without the
request OF instruction from the commit
tee, prices Of certain commodities have
been cut
The committee has learned that profits
in various lines of retail business run
from 335 per cent to AS high as 100 per
cent The latter figure, it is said, APP
plies to only certain lines Of necessities,
but in the opinion ofindividual members
Of the committee, it may be said that
there is a marked determination to seek
to have such excessive profits cut down.

POLITICAL PARTY
UNDER NEW NAME.


Mitchell, S. d., Sept. 22.-The Nom
partisan League at its state convention
here last week took two sweeping steps.
II was determined that full state ticket
would be placed in the field. That was
the first step. No effort will be made at
the coming elections to capture the can
didates Of any other party as was done
last year. The second move, which may
prove more far reaching politically than
any step taken by any party in recent
years provides that the names of the
league candidates should go on the bal.
lot under the title of the Non.partisan
League and Labor party.
Practically every county in the state
was represented at the convention, some
of the counties having a regular delegate
and an alternate present. In those cases
the regulars were seated, while the alter
mates were permitted to sit in an advis.
ory capacity. The Trades and Labor
Council, Of Aberdeen, the only labor
organization in the state, was represent
ed by one delegate. Altogether there
were slightly in excess of one hundred
delegates present.
Peter Guhahl, Miner county, was
elected chairman of the convention and
II. NJ Harden, Jerauld county, was
made secretary. M. p. Bates, Letcher,
supported by the League last year for
governor Frank Goddard, Sully county,
and Mr.. Gerkin, Fauk county, were
the credentials committee.

SETH BULLOCK DEAD
Picturesque Figure in History of the
Northwest Passes Away at His
Home in Deadwood.

Captain Seth Bullock died at his resi-
dence In Deadwood at o'clock Tuesday
| morning from intestinal trouble after an
illness extending over several weeks.
Mr.. Bullock's death was not wholly un-
expected, as it has been understood for
some time that the malady which car
ried him away, was incurable and that
the end was only a matter of short
time.
Two years ago when serving as a
member of the Exemption Board he
was forced to resign his work because OF
Ill health. A winter spent in California,
however, and treatment for his trouble
brough back some of his old time vigor
and energy, aud upon his return from
California he az ain took bold with en-
thusasm OF many new lines of activity.
lie came TO Deadwood in 1876 and
since that time has been closely assoc-
ated with the growth and development
OF the Black Hills, filing many public
offices and taking part in every enter
prise which had for its purpose the pro.
motion Of their industrial development.
Soon after coming to Deadw in
1876 Mr.. Bullock was appointed sheriff
Of the then newly organized county of
Lawrence by Gov. Pennington. He
seryed one term and it was during the
period of his incumbency in office that
Deadwood was transformed from min
ing camp with the regulation lawless
ness that usually accompanies a new
camp into an orderly city with a re-
sponsible government Of these early
days, with their stirring scenes and ex-
citement OF various kinds, their romance
and manifold interests Captain Bullock
had a memory replete with incidents
and it was pleasure to hear him mar.
rate them.
AT the outbreak of the Spanish Ameri-
can war in 1897 Mr.. Bullock organized
company of rough riders and became
affiliated with the regiment of rough
riders of Col. Grigsby which served
through the war
When Mr.. Roosevelt succeeded 10 the
presidency upon the death of President
Mckinley he appointed Mr.. Bullock
forest supervisor for the Black Hills,
aud this Office he filled for four years.
When Mr.. Roosevelt was reelected to
second term as president he made
Seth Bullock United States Marshal for
South Dakota which position he held
for two terms.
The last public position which Capt.
Bullock filled was to act under the ap-
pointment of Governor Norbeck as q
member of the local exemption board
for Lawrence county.
One of the last acts of his life was to
procure the title to the ground overly
ing White Rocks and to donate it to the
Society of Black Hills Pioneers for
public park. This piece of ground com
mands a splendid view of the city OF
Deadwood, as well as of the surround
ing country and of the Mount Theodore
Roosevelt, and it is here that he re-
quested to be buried, on the lofty sum-
NIT overlooking the country he loved so
well.
The funeral was held Friday at 9
O'Clock p. m. from his late residence
and was conducted by the Society of
Black Hills Pioneers

State educational institutions VIII
open their doors again to students next
week. The School Of Mines Al Rapid
City practically opened this week but
will commence holding classes Monday
while the State University at Nermillion
opens September 23rd and the State
Agricultural College at Brookings, Sept.
29lh.
One of the features of this year, pro-
vided by the board of regents through
:ho action Of the Legislature, is the free
scholarship offered to all who saw SER
vice outside Of South Dakota during the
late war. This privilege will be within
the jurisdiction Of the board but the law
provides that it may be extended to sol
diers, sailors and members Of any war
relief organization recognized by the
government, who served outside the
borders Of the state. The Interpretation
is regarded as a broad one and will per-
nit many students who would other
wise be Obliged to pay, 10 take the full
regular or special courses without tuition
OF any sort. 1t also applies to those who
have been nursing soldiers in hospitals
or in the Red Cross and similar organi.
cations.
The board has provided every facility,
according TO I. W. Dwight, its chair
man, for economical living by the stu
dents and it estimates that 500 a month
will easily carry any careful student
through the year Registration Of stu
in the past and all provision has been
made to assist them toward equipping
themselves for the various pursuits Of
life.
