REPAIR WEEK

The first week in March has been
adopted as farm machinery repair
week in South Dakota. All producers
of standard farm machinery of ny kind
are united in the effort to get machine
repairs to those who need them. The
reasons for the movement are two-fold.
The main n is that the present
financial crisis predicts the possibility
of a very large sale Of new machinery,
and those who can work over old ma
chinery to make it do for the season
will do so.
Another reason Is that the manufact-
urers feel that the sale of new mach
inery will not be brisk and that it will
be to their advantage for future bust
ness reasons to furnish repair parts at
a reasonable rate this year. In this
connection the manufacturers are an
xious to know how many repair parts
are going to be needed for this year.
Every farmer in Hand County who
will need repair parts should look over
machinery now and make his wants
known to his dealer. Remember: The
First Week in March Is Repair
Week."

County Agent.

SWEET CLOVER

This rapid growing forage plant is
a great soil builder. It's root system
is strong and vigorous. Since the
plant lives but two years and dies, il
is evident that a continual process of
root decomposition is going on after
the first two years.
Natural reseeding must take place
by the protecting of a few plants in
the field or seed to the amount of four
pounds per acre scattered broadcast
over the field. II this is not done and
the field grazed heavily, the crop will
be destroyed. Ordinarily, however,
enough plants get by the livestock each
year to reseed the field.
Hogs will relish sweet clover pasture
once they get started eating 1t. Cattle,
particularly milk cows, thrive on it. A
wei established field of sweet clover
will furnish feed throughout the grow
Ing season. No onion or i'll tasteing

The Farm Bureau Office has made
several orders of seed. A price of
1870 a pound for South Dakota grown
seed is quoted for the present. This
seed is cleaned, sacrificed and of excel
lent quality. Anyone wishing some OF
this seed may obtain 1t through the

FARM BUREAU NOTES
Farm Bureau Saved Farmers Average
$50 Each on Freight I'm 1921

Huron, s.. Oak, Feb. EVERY farm
bureau member in South Dakota has
already received benefits that will pay
for a three year membership fee on the
basis Of $1,000 a year. The work of the
American Farm Bureau Federation has
saved the farmers of the country an
average of $50 each on freight charges
for 1921.
The Transportation Act of 1920 as
introduced into Congress, guaranteed
six per cen above expenses and taxes
on the present value of the railroads.
II the railroads had been able to Sc
cure the rates they asked for, the an
nual charged in the United States
would have been more than $400, 000,-
900 more than it will be in 1921.
The organized farmers and shippers
were able to force reduction in the
valuation Of the railroads of $780,
900 ,000, which, at 6 per cent, means an
annual saving to shippers of more
than 1000, 000, 900. 1t is said that
than half the freight charges
fall upon the farmers.

"Of course" she said. ut will be
great disappointment to the others
when you tell them that my children
are the prettiest. but 1t cannot be
helped. Some one must have the pref
tiest babies. and any one with half an
eye can see that mine are far ahead
of all the other wood children"
Mr.. Fox smiled a sickly smile when
he heard this and said, Of course, he
would be proud and pleased to be the
judge, but as soon as 1t was dark that
night he took his vallse-he did not
stop for trunk or his household
goods-and out of the woods he went,
far away over the hills, and never did
he show himself there again.
Well he knew what would happen
to him If he went to that baby show
and picked out the prettiest babies,
and he did not intend to take any
such risk
When Mr.. Fox did not show up, Mr..
Owl was called upon to judge, but
being very wise bird he told the
mothers that he could not see well
enough In the daytime to give an
honest opinion, and so the mothers
went home each sure that her chill
dren were the prettiest babies In the
world. (Copyright)

her.
Now, 1t happened that on his way
home he was called in to Mrs. Rabbits
house to see her new babies, and Mr..
Fox told her that her children were by
far the prettiest he ever had seen. "the
bit !" he told her. %.
Tie next day Mr.. Fox heard that
some new little possums had been
brought to Mrs. Postum by the stork,
so over ran Mr.. Fox to call, ''for," said
he, "the best way to keep on good
terms with my neighbors is to praise
the children to their mothers"
He told Mrs. Postum that her chill
dren were the prettiest in the woods,
and when Mrs. Coon sent for him to
see her new babies Mr.; Fox told her
the same thing.
Mrs. Porcupine and Mrs. Badger
also received'a cell from Mr.. Fox, and
were told that no children In the
woods could compare with their new
babies, so that each mother thought
her children the prettiest babies, for
not one told to the other the nice
things Mr.. Fox had said
All would have gone well with Mr..
Fox If Mrs. Squirrel had not been anx-
ious that every one should know that
her babies were considered the pref
test and proposed that they should
hold baby show and have Mr.. Fox for
the judge.
To this. Of course. ali the mothers
agreed, for each one was sure her
babies would get the prize.

At THE CIRCLE TO-DAY

The L. p. Trail a Hodkinson re-
lease. which is coming to the Circle
Playhouse today. is the latest photo
play production of Benjamin b.
Hampton. the pioneer maker of pic
lures from great novels. This, the
photoplay version of Zane Greys most
powerful romance. is admitted to be
the producers most virile drama. The
success of his first productions. THE
Westerners" and Desert Cold" from
the novels OF Stewart Edward White
and Zane Grey respectively both re-
leased beneath the Hodkinson banner,
started the wave OF all-star novel
productions.
Critical analysis of The L. p. Trail"
shows that the appeal of this work
lies in the mighty virility of it, the
vigorous humanness, the scorn of
sham. 1t stands out, distinct from the
herd, by its strength and fearlessness,
by the intensity of its drama, by the
sweet nobility of its romance. The
hand of the master craftsman is seen
throughout from the selection of col
orful material available in the novel
TO the clear, strong wording of the
titling and assembling of the COM
pleted film. The selection of actors
the art expressed in wonderful scienic
settings. the perfection of technical de-
tails all bear the impress of his con-
structive ability. The wonderful ro-
nance of the story, combination of
dramatic tension. glamor of achieve
ment. warmth of love and mighty
heartplay of human emotions. places
THE L. p. Trail" at the top of Mr.
Hampton's list of successes, and
among the few great photoplays of all
time.
The handling of the production is
especially remarkable in that it has
been developed into a photoplay which
is not only crowded with breathless
action, but is also conyincingly HUI
man: which has the colorful appeal
of the most romantic time, place, and
period in the history of America and
