CULTIVATE MENTAL POWER
 AND SECURE WHAT YOU WISH
Woman Psychologist Ex plains How a Determined Will Can Bring Any Re suits Desired If You Have a Right to Expect Or De- sire It.

(Written by IMAGERY REX or the
 International News Service.)
 New York. Jan. 13-Man can be 'Nhatever he wishes to be and possess whatever he deterAineeS to possess.
 Man can become what he wills if he does not let circumstances
 dominate him.
 The Sul,conScious mind is ex-
 tremeIy sensible and amenabIe to
 suggestion. What is put into it
 works out into actuality.
 Everyone has more power and
 intelligence than he is using. But
 if one think deterninedly his
 purpose will accomplish itself by
 that habituaI state of mind that
 has made it Q reality. < These are a few of the thought from the philosopl1 of Mrs. Gene vieve Behrend founder of a school ot Troward, of the Punjab, India, whose researches and discoveries were highly commended by William James psychologists.
 We all know. and perhaps believe the precept, ask and you shall re- ceive,'' said Mrs. Benrend in an in terview. But what we do not realize is that we ought to think, ask, be lieving you have received. and you will receive
 By such thought you have made . spisitual nuculeus that will get you anything you desire. which is natura or you to have, that is, anything suit. able or within the reach of your owr personality, and coming within a. nat ura1 sequence.

Advice To The Lovelorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX. An Authority on all Problems of Girls and Questions of Love
 and Romance.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
 went out with a young man for three months. During that time he tried to find out whether I have money. Although I have fifteen hundred dollars. I did not tell him. and thinking I have none he stopped calling.
 Now I love him very much Do you think it worth while to let him know. as then he would come back to me. L. F.
 Surely you don't want to have a man marry you for your money If he did not care enough for you to maintain his interest on a basis of congeDiality, you can't buy happiness even if you can 'fbuy' him back You wouldn't respect him or yourself if you were to try to get him back in thIs way.

COUNTY AGENTS BUSY MEN

Some idea of the work done in the
past year by the AZ county agricultural
agents in South Dakota, cooperating
with the II extension specialists from
State college, may be gained from the
following summary of statistics re.
garding their work:
During the past year approximately
Is 5000 farm visits were made by the
county agents in South Dakota and
4 $4,000 Office calls were received. The
agents addressed nearly 5000 meet
ings and agricultural short courses

500 boys and girls clubs we're organ.

suggestion Of the agents 129, 500 ami

The wheat crop is in excellent shape
and considerably above the average for
this time of year 1t is thick on the
ground and shows a very vigorous
plant. From present prospects the
northwestern wheat crop should be the
largest in several seasons Oats and
barley also show a good condition.
In a few places there are reports of
oats being re-seeded because of the
frost damage. This, however, is so
small as to have but little effect on
the final outcome. Winter rye shows

rains and cool weather have been

Gently. a number Of the dry districts
have received rain and the grain Is
making fine growth. With favorable
conditions from now on Montana
should produce much larger crops
than were indicated earlier in the
spring. During the past week OF ten
days the farmers of the northwest
have marketed their grain much more
freely. This is undoubtedly due to the
recent advance in prices, which now
look attractive to many, who have
been holding their grain in store.

public institutions of the new terri,
tory. They did not adopt the plan
that was so successful in the case of
Wisconsin, and call upon their gov
ernor TO order an election for a dele
gate for the reason undoubtedly, that
there were nc inhabitants of the rem
nant save those at Pembina at the ex-
the extreme north, and they could
hardly claim to be of sufficient i'm.
portance to ask that they be recog-
nized as a separate government, but
they boldly took possession of the
country with the determination of Gre
ating an entirely new government
with the aid Of congress.
1T must be remembered that Mr..
Buchanan was then president and Min,
nesota was then strongly democratic
in its politics; but the republican
party. then in its infancy, had gained
great strength in congress, and en-.
tertained hope of electing the next
president, which it did in 1890. The
condition of things initiated against
the organization of a new territory
the officers of which would be demo.
cratic and prevented the realization
of the hopes of the adventures who
first settled Dakota.
when the Sioux Indian war broke
out in 1862 the remaining settlements
on the Big Sioux river were aban.
destroyed by the Indians. Shortly
after the termination of the Indian
war and on May /, 1865, a military
post was established at Sioux Falls
for the protection of the surrounding
country which was called Fort Da'
kota," consisting Of n company of
cavalry at one time and infantry at
another, and was maintained until
June Is, 1869, when it was aban
doned, nothing remaining but the
quarters occupied by the troops and
two men, C.. L. Howard and Ed,
Broughton, who had acted as suffers
for the post. A few settlers found
their way into the valley near Sioux
Falls, while the troops were there and
supplied milk and vegetables to the
soldiers.
This state of things continued I'm
til about June, 1859, when R. F. Petit,

About the year 1871, a brother OF
Senator Pettigrew found his way into
the valley Of the Big Sioux and located
on the old site of Flandreau, about
thirty-five miles above Sioux Falls,
which town the old company had
named in my honor. There was nc
vestige of the former settlement. But
a few Sisseton Indians lived there and
a man named Lew Hulett, a trapper,
had built a shack, in which he carried

EARLY DAKOTA

From the files Of the Register of
the year 1896 we ran across the fol-
lowing extracts from a paper read by
Judge Flandreau before the historical
society of Minnesota at its 3Sth ami
versary in st. Paul:
For many years | have been de-
sirous Of obtaining the exact facts
concerning the first settlement of the
Dakotas, which took place in the year
1857, in the valley of the Big Sioux
river, the incidents Of which form a
most interesting and curious epoch in
the history of the northwest, and pre-
sents, the only actual attempt to form
a government on the principles OF
"squatter sovereignty" pure and sim
pie, that has ever occurred in the
country.
when Minnesota was on the 18th
day of May, 1858. admitted into the
union, it's western boundary was fixed
by the Red river of the north and a
line extending south from the foot
OF Big Stone lake to the north lines

extending west of this line to the
Missouri river, which now constitutes
the two Dakotas. The situation was
identical with that presented on the
