RAIN IS WORTH THOUSANDS
Valuable Growing Crop, Endangeret
by Heat. Saved


Lead, S. D.-The recent aim were
general over the Black Hills district,
and covered the agricultural communi'
ties to the north and east os the Black
Hills, doing untold good to growing
crops. The entire district had expert
enced hot and dry weather for two
weeks or more and rain was badly
needed, so the heavy downpour in all
sections was timely.
The rains We're of special benefit to
the Black Hills proper where vegeta-
ton was suffering for moisture, the
dry condition also tending to increase
the danger from forest fires.
For a number of days befo. q
rains swept over the Hills the forest
rangers in the two national forests of
the Black Hills had to exercise the
greatest vigilance to prevent serious
forest fires. Several such fires broke
out and got good starts in the dry un
derbrush, but in each case the forest
rangers and other fire fighters were
soon on the scene and the fires We're
e~Ntinguished before they a swept
an extensive area. Owing to the heavy
rains it will be a number of days be-
fore there is further danger Of forest
fires.

A New Clientele
For Watertowr

The Watertown Daily. News brings to Watertown what may be
termed a new clientele, in that a large proportion Of its subscribers
in territory adjacent to Codington county represent people who hth-
erto have not been regular readers Of a Watertown newspaper.
AS an illustration, a somewhat cursory investigation among APP
proximately seventy-fve SUBSIDIES of the Daily News who get their
NAL through the Bryant postoffce warrants the estimate that at least
fifty to seventyfve per cent of them have not been subscribers to
any WATERFOWL paper.
Bryant is easily within Watertown's trade territory and many
of the people of Bryant and vicinity come to Watertown to secure
goods which perhaps their home merchants do not carry in stock
More could be drawn to Watertown if they were especially invited,
and particularly through the medium of the paper which they daily
read. ~
Coming nearer home, let us take Wallace as another example of
the clientele of Watertown as brought to it by the Daily News. No
investigation has been made with reference to the proportion of read
ers who have not been taking a Watertown paper, so far as Wallace
is concerned, but a careful count was made with regard to one Of the
rural delivery routes, where, it was found, the Daily News has fifty
five subscribers, whereas all other daily newspapers combined mus
ter less than forty.
Wallace, like Bryant, is easily within Watertown's trade terri
tory, as is Bradley, Garden City, Croker and other towns along the
Minneapolis & st. Louis road, in the vicinity Of all Of which the Daily
News elrculates quite freely. E
This is a pointer to the merchant who wishes to reach asatews
class Of buyers with outlines Of his hargains-buyers whom he
has never before reached through the public prints.
The Watertown Daily News stands for a square deal % all
white, black, or red; a square deal for all political parties and all
classes of busines a square deal for men and a square deal for
women

What do you think of 6
sweet potatoes weighing 2612
lbs-just a little more than a
half bushel? Well, my clever
farmer friend, j. H. Wallace,
brought them in just to show
me that he was some potato
grower and | have 'em on the
table for inspection at the
Argus office. j. H. said that he
saw the ad of Miley, the yam
man, in the Argus, when he
was, advertising his seed, slips,
etc, for sale and that he
bought and that the six big po-
tatoes were from the Miley
Yam Variety and that they
simply couldn't stop growing
out on his Rosebud farm.

ANOTHER factory
FOR BRINKLEY
The Chas. Duff. Inc, TO Come
Back to BrinkIey. Will Build
Back on the Old Site in
North BrinkIey This
Winter.

Chas. Duff, the heading man
was up from Pine Bluff over
Sunday and while here gave
out the information to the
Argus that his company would
this winter build back on their
old site in North Brinkley.
The Chas. Duff, Inc, Brink
ley Factory which was destroy
ed by fire last year was the
largest and best pay roll pro-
ducing factory in Brinkley at
the time of it's destruction.
After the fire Mr.. Duff and
his force removed to Pine Bluff
where they have another big
factory. Since that time the
fire swept site of their Brink
ley plant has been a sad re-
minder to our business men of
what might have been, but for
the fire loss. Hence the positive
assurance that they are to
build back on the old site is
good news indeed to- all
Brinkley.
The new factory will not be
in, the beginning, SO large as
the old one but here's hoping
they grow fast,
