SPECULATION IN LAND

Monticello Express-Lands have
been advancing very rapidly, during
the past several months, with the
craze for speculation more pronounced
in the central and western part of the
state than it is in eastern Iowa. There
are those who predict $500 land. No
one not farmer can afford to own
land of even half that value if there
is no prospect for further rise. The
rental income will not begin to meet
the interest charges on the invest
ment. There is therefore an element
of speculation in many of the land
sales that we read of in all the state
papers. All such sales made to a
farmer. who buys the land because
he wants it and knows how to use it.,
are legitimate, and they record the
real values of the land. But all sales
made to land dealers and all others
who have the craze for land specula-
ton are speculative. and values may,
in many cases, be regarded as forced.
When the upward bend turns down,
then the speculator loaded up with a
lot Of high priced equities will get
squeezed harder than q pippin in q
cider mill.

A HISTORIC CORNERSTONE

box placed in the corner stone
OF the M. E. church Of Huron, placed
there in 1888, has been exhumed and
found to contain lot of matter that
is of historic value especially to the
settlers of that city and vicinity. Old
newspapers, some of them long since
defunct, printed in the style of the
day, were found together with photos
and relics that are today of much
value. An advertisement in one OF
them announces lands in Yankton and
Minnehaha counties for sale at four
and five dollars per acre. land that
today is worth nearly as many hun
dreds. No mention is made of finding
any money, so it is presumable that
the opinion was current in those days
as well as in the present, that money
is not needed to build churches. Water
that had found it's way into the box
had damaged most of the photos,
which Is perhaps for the best. as some
OF those living might not desire to
see themselves as they looked in those
by-gone days. The authorities at
Huron are planning to keep these con-
tents for future historic value.

THE RUSH FOR LAND

Des Moines Capital-Iowa is eXper-
fencing rush for land, the like of
which no state in the west has here
tofore known. A year or two after the
close Of the civil war, there was a
stampede of ex-union soldiers to north
western Iowa and to Kansas. This
is something like the boom of today,
so far as the Iowa part of it is con-
cerned, excepting in the old days it
was not boom for high priced land,
but the very opposite But it was
boom for the same land as today.
And while on former occasions land
was sold for $5 to $6 per acre, the
same land is now being sold for from
$500 to $400 per acre. We are not
sure that Kansas is getting her part
of the boom at the present time, but
we presume the best agricultural part
Of Kansas is drawing the attention of
the speculator At the present time
in Iowa, land speculation has driven
everything else out. The sellers of
worthless stocks are having a hard
time to go against the land PROPOSE
ton. In some cases farmers pay 81
an acre to neighbors, thus securing
options on the adjoining lands. And
in some cases these farmer specula-
tors have made large amounts. The
city man has been taking options
also.

HISTORY
By GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS

History is marvellous Teacher
From her pages speak events, expert
ences and thrilling deeds-all products
Of the human Brain.
You are now playing part of the
future History of the World.
Even the humblest man or woman
has his part to play. And the part
played must needs be recorded.
The work of your days and life
whether for good or ill., in it's final sum-
ming up-is as sure to mark or infiu-
ence some phase of the entire History
Of Histories, as each act you perform
today is sure to give color and form
to the final results of today.
Yes-you are now playing part of
the future History of the World.
1t is the realization of this truth by
men and women that inspires some to
become great and notable while others
remain obscure. For just as soon as
people wake up to the fact that Re-
sponsibility presses down upon them,
they begin to draw upon their Reserve
Power. And it is Reserve Power that
helps make History fascinating.
You are now playing a part of the
future History of the World.
1t is not necessary, however, nor is
it possible for Is all to become notable
In History. History is universal. And
so is the Mind that makes up the hui
man Soul. Iou-dOing your work in
the best way you know how-are as
great an element in History as
Alexander, or Washington, or Crom-
well or such as they. Study His
tory. 1t will arouse you to big deeds.
Live as you would like to have
History say you live.

property to Forgy Brothers who will
take immediate charg- of the garage.
We have not been Informed just what
Mr.. Sinkler intends to do, but trust
that he and his famil y will decide to

Brothers were seriously contemplat

WOOD HAS ELECTRIC LIGHTS.

The Wood Electric Eight IL Power
Co, turned on the juice Tuesday eved
ing of this week, and those who had
their buildings wired enjoyed electric
lights that evening for the first time
The lights are certainly "A great con
venience and burn brightly without
a flicker. Only about three buildings
we're wired Tuesday evening, but the
wire crew will work as rapidly as the
weather will permit, and it will not
be long until those who agreed to
take lights in Wood, will be enjoying
this modern lighting system. Expert
wiremen were expected to come here
from Rapid CITY, but they failed to
show up, so local talent is doing the
work, with Ray Stahl as chief and
Chick" Hagnan as assistant, and the
boys are doing good job of it too.
Some Of the fixtures ordered have
been slow in arriving and this has
been a handicap, but as soon as the
roads get opened up so that freight
ers eau get through to the railroad,
no doubt the fixtures that have been
delayed so long will be brought out.

A BAD STORM.

The worst snow storm and blizzard
of the season begau here last Satur
dav morning when a heavy wet snow
fell practically all day. 1t continued
showing all Saturday night and most
all day Sunday and Sunday night.
The wind raised Sunday night and
drifted the snow considerably, and it
was certainly bad night for either
man or beast to be out in the storm.
The storm Sunday night and Monday
morning assumed blizzard proportions,
at times. 1t was the worst storm at
this season Of the veal that we have
seen during our seven years of resi-
dence here. The snow that fell was
very wet and the water content is bet
ter than an inch, so that when this
snow goes off you can look for some
pretty sloppy, muddy roods for a
while. No doubt range stock suffer
ed considerably and there may have
been some losses, but up to the time
of going to press We have not heard
of any. The feel supply at this time
is quite ample, but if ave are to have
continued heavy SHOWS and severe
winter weather from now until March
next. the hay and feed supply will
probably run short This snow, IL IT
thaws rapidly, will fiji the dams and
water holes on the prairies and supply
ample water for range stock this win
ter, which is almost as important as
feed. Winter has set in extremely =
early and has caught many Of oul peo
pie unprepared for this kind of wealth
er. Many are sh ort of fuel, and none
to be got at the railroad, on accoLnt
of the big coal strike, however nobod u
here need freeze as we have plenty OF
wood along the creeks, that can be
used as emergency fuel il need be,
We should all be thankful that we
are living out here in Mellette count v
rather than in some of the larger ecu
ters OF population, where no doubl
such storm as this one will caus,
much suffering from lack of sufficieu,
fuel. and food supplies.
Tuesday morning our people were
somewhat surprised to find it snow

and stars shining brightly. As tb,

ONE YEAR AGO AND NOW.

+ One year ago November IL. 1918
the armistice was declared. and the
world took its first deep breath in
four years.
To us Of America IL was a happy
day, for it meant that the enemy had
given up in defeat, and that many
thousands OF lives were saved which
otherwise would have been led 10 the
field of gore.
The Iuen Of our armies were joyful,
because it meant home and freedom
again for them.
One year-but such year!
Then we thought the blood OF our
Sons had made the world safe for de-
mrcracy. Today we find it gasping In
the thtoes Of disintegration.
Jealousy, hatred and suspicion OF
one another has been engendered in

discord is everywhere.
Russia is a seething cauldron, the
Balkins are a melting pot, and Turkey
Is living hell.
Secret diplomacy and the conference
of Paris have produced not honor and
justice, but rather Shantung and
Fiume.
The piece Of nations Is a micnomer
"a phantom of the brain which does
not even follow its own convictions.

tiict, but no where Is there tranquil

But this condition cannot last An

The greed OF the capitalist and the
