U. S. BUTTER EXPORTS SMALL

In spite of vast grazing lands in the
United States this country furnishes
less than / per cent Of the butter that
figures in world or international trade,
according TO statistics recently COM
piled by the United States Department
Of Agriculture. However, the same
fact, expressed in terms Of the total
number of pounds of butter exported,
does not look so insignificant, since
the annual total for at least one year
in each of the last six decades has ap-
preached 30,000.O00 pounds. There
has been marked fuctuation in this
country's exports of butter, the amount
frequently dropping to less than one
third Of the total for the big years.
The relation between domestic and for
eign prices has been the determining
factor in these changes. During the
last few years our exports, small as
they are relatively, have been going
to 70 different countries, colonies. and
dependencies.

SOUTH DAKOTA PRODUCTS

South Dakota although having ex-
perienced rather unfavorable season
in 1919 for the production of cereal
crops with which it has chiefly pro-
duced its wealth in the past, was still
so fortunate as to produce approx.
mately one-third of billion dollars
in agricultural wealth, disregarding
the value of livestock and minor crops.
Relatively, the state produced about
s54.000000 less than was produced IN
1918. 1t is well to take into consid-
carlton the fact that the unit value Of
our farm products has materially In
creased since one year ago, thus in
a measure making the comparison
somewhat unfair as check on the
agricultural production of the state.
The production is approximately
$500 for every man, woman and child
within the bounds of the state View
ing the production from the basis Of
the United States, we find that in 1919,
South Dakota produced approximately
2.45% of all the agricultural wealth
that was produced in the nation. in
1918, South Dakota produced approx
mately 1850 of the United States
agricultural wealth.

$3,050, ,508,574. Total estimated re-
ceipts for the year, he said, are So
035, $4,000. These official estimates
of the receipts" he added, "are nota-
BILE in that they carry no estimate of
receipts on account of interest on our
loans Of nearly $4,000, 100000 to for
eign governments. This interest, if
paid, would increase our receipts and
tighten our burdens for the year by
nearly 5OO,O0O,O0O" Congress should
cut estimates at least $1,000,000, 900
and refuse every request which is not
imperative, he added. No provisions
for increased pay for officers Of the
army or navy or the nurses corps, nor
estimates for loans bonuses or devel-
opment projects benefiting former ser

GLASS ABOVE NATION

Rev. Charles w. Gordon, better
known as Ralph Connor, the author
in a recent address before the students
of the University Of Minnesota, said
ANY man who puts class above ma.
ton is a Bolshevist.
THE sane people of the world are
swinging away from socialism.
"The great lesson of the great war
is this: You can knock a man down
with a club but you can't make him
your friend with a club.
"The motto for everyone is this re-
construction era is: Play the game
and be fair.
ut is not foolish talk that the world
need fear. Insincere talk is at the root
of our national ills"

"Tanlac has built me up from al

happy woman" was the statement
made by Mrs. William Brabeck Of 7S1

talking TO a Tanlac representative the
other day.
II suffered from nervous indiges-
ton and was so badly run down and
nervous that the slightest sound or
noise irritated me as / could hardly

81 couldn't rest at all at night, and
I forgot what il was to enjoy good
nights sleep, and when ! got up in
the morning | felt as II hadn't been
TO bed at all. | felt tired out all dur
ing the day, and couldn't do ten min
utes sweeping before gave COM
pletely out and had to stop and rest
Ny appetite was poor and what little
/ did eat upset me. Many times gas
would form so bad on my stomach
that I would become so nauseated |
would have to go 10 bed. 1t was out
of the question for me to do my house
work for every few minutes | would
have 10 stop, became so exhausted.
For two years | had been In this con-
dition. and the suffering | have borne
has been terrible.
zone day my husband brought me
a bottle of Tanlac, and before | fin
ished that first bottle I began to feel
much better, and now / have taken
six and feel just fine. My nerves were
never better and no kind Of noise
or sound even disturbs me now. I
sleep like a child and every morning
! get up feeling rested and refreshed.
NV appetite has come back and | can
eat anything / want, and my strength
is increasing every day. My stomach
was never in better condition. I've
gone back to my housework, and |
can do il all now and the family wash
ing, too. just can't say enough for
