Through the hedge gap came one

laid aside her book and went forward

FARM PRODUCT STATISTICS

THE man who sometimes knows
least about a job is most lavish with
his ideas and advice regarding the
ways in which the job should be done
Business men, bankers, cattlebuyers,
packers, congressman, professors and
even editors often take a hand in Civ
ing the farmer advice on how to run
his farm at q profit. Perchance this
is q case Of too many fingers in the
pie and of the minor reasons for
farm conditions today /.
However, the condition is not at all
hopeless and out Of the countless bits
of advice given come kernels of useful
thot which can be utilized.
Figures do not lie, we have heard,
and altho statistics generally make
dry and uninteresting reading, the fol-
lowing should be Of interest to all
whose livelihood is directly connected
with them.
The first is a comparative scale of
the returns per acre from the various
products raised in this country.

Dakota is bringing . price far greater
in proportion than grains is the state
ment Of Frank E. Mccall, manager of
the South Dakota Potato Exchange.
Mr.. Mccall issued the statement in
answer to q general inquiry from
farmers regarding the price and mar
kets for potatoes. Mr.. McCall's state
ment is as follows:
The general impression among po-
tato growers is that the crop is selling
-entirely too low. Comparing potatoes
with other farm crops, even at the
present prevailing prices, the returns
are larger than any Of the other crops

When Janey mel Don Avery, she had
merely intended to drift into a mu-
tually helpful cOmpaniOnship. Don'S
youth was SO happily evident, Janey
knew that she had many years beyond
him, not only by actual count, but In
experience. Yet Don charmed and re-
freshed her as no former lover had
done; for Janey had known her due
of lovers. AS a very young girl she
had been independent and pretty, as
years passed moro critical and exact
ing in choice-so she had not married.
When Don came, she was keeping on
the little home cottage as her mother,
departing this life, had charged her.
Obedience was grown by habit to BE-
4 part Of Janey. Youthful, friends
had for the most part gone far to
make new homes for themselves; but
Janey was still content.
When Don Avery came. she wal
more. He arrived breezily. and by
chance, regarding some business ven-
ture which would for sometime require
his supervision, and iii the natural
curse Of things, the minister's wife
introduced him to Janey; he and her
son had been companions in college.
Janey, looking up to the tall, frank
faced young man, smiled her
sweet smile. while the young man,
looking down admiringly. thought.

was.
"You must let me come Owe some

Janey vas glad to let him come. She

The young men Of the village were
for the most part undesirable ascot

friendship after all. To Janey it
brought new interest and Joy to her

GRANT COUNTY
REPUBLICAN PLATFORM

First: We recommend the adoption
of the Republican platform promul-
gated at the State Proposal meeting
held at the city of Pierre on December
6, 1921.
Your committee mas also examined
the platform proposed by one Geo.
w. Egan, who u himself as
an Independent republican candidate
for governor Of this state, and in
convention herewith be it
Resolved, That it is now a matter
Of record that there will be no minor
ity republican primary ticket, before
the electors of this state at the time
fixed by law for a state wide primary.
However as indicated above a certain
oft discredited citizen Of the state has
announced that he will be an indepen-
dent republican candidate for COVER
nor. Undoubtedly for the sole purpose
Of exposing his egoism again to the
people Of the state without a SEM
blence Of justification. Such action
will force upon the state a state wide
primary election with great expense
to the tax payers Of the state. We
therefore condemn the self-imposition
of such candidate upon the people and
tax payers Of the state and bespeak
for his candidacy a cool reception
among the Republicans of this county.
We recommend the adoption of the
national paramount issue which is re-
construction, also the state paramount
issue, which is economy, and farther
recommend as a county paramount is
III efficiency and economy in all
branches of the county government.
We heartily congratulate our state
upon the material lack of capital
crime within its borders which is
rampant in some of our adjoining
states. Still we deplore less setious
violations of the law with regard to
the manufacture, sale and consump-
ton illegally of Intoxicating liquors
and demand that the laws of the state
and nation governing the manufacture
and sale Of such intoxicating liquor
for beverage purposes be IS strictly
enforced as it is possible to do.
Further, we recognize the sacred
ness of the constitution Of the state
and nation but more especially the
constitution Of the State of South
Dakota, and we deem it wise that a
law be placed upon The statute of this
state to provide that when any mea-
sure passed by the Legislature which
is contested in the court under the
claim of it's unconstitutionality that
it should require the concurrence of
four members of the Supreme Court
Of the State or any special court APP
pointed by the Supreme Court as pro,
vided by law.
We further declare that the law
passed by the last session Of the leg
islature granting to its members add
ditional pay in the nature of an ex-
pense account should be repealed.
Further we declare that in the re-
construction Of conditions following
tn world war and from now on for
several years the strictest economy
