Of this group met privately last night
and discussed the prospects, but diff
ferent versions Of the decision taken
at the meeting are given by the po-
liticel writers Of the morning news
papers.
One of these is that the coalition

fellow conservatives, and there is
reason to believe this course will
surely be followed by some of them.
Another statement is that Chamber

mentary action, there Is scarcely a
doubt that the two sections Of the
party will be in complete agreement
and that the apparent split will be

to become assistant rector until the
first Of the year.
The first intimation to members of
the congregation that their rectors
were unable to agree came when DR..
Smith formally told the vestry that
1t would be necessary for him to re-
quest DIR. Durrant to resign at once.
The vestry was called to q special
meeting by its presiding rector
Thursd&y afternoon and the whole
matter was laid before them. The
members unanimously voted conf
dence In DIR. Smith and he exercised

Continue Fsrxias Li,ks.
Investigators intimate that they
have established the motive for the
staying of Rev. Edward w. Hall and
his choir leader; Mrs. Eleanor r.
Mills, but that their failure to make
arrests is due to the fact that some
of the links in their chain of evidence
have not been properly forged.
With guards keeping leading char
acters in the drama under constant
surveillance, no fear was felt that
suspected persons might escape. De-
tectives were engaged in running
down details considered by the OFF,
cials essential before making an
arrest.
Reports Of the discovery of q wit
ness to the double shooting, woman

firmed officially.

ERA OF CHEAP LAND FOREVER
GONE IN UNITED STATES

The frontiers in America have
vanished. The era Of cheap lands
will never return From now on
the price of land will be increased
because of the natural scarcity of
tillable areas and the increasing
cost of cultivating land which is
tillable.
According to the United States
Department of Agriculture, there
are 40,O00,O0O acres of absolute de-
sert; 270.0O0.O00 acres of forest land
and 600,0O0,000 acres of land which
is semi-arid and suitable only for
grazing.
Those who wish new lands can
find plenty of it in cut-over sec
tions at prices ranging from $40
to $50 per acre. But it would cost
all the way from $35 to 5000 per
acre to clear the land and place it
ready for cultivation. There are
a1,000,O00 acres of undrained land
that can be purchased cheaply but
the cost Of drainage is almost pro-
hibitiTe.

ARE YOU READY
FOR ANOTHER YEAR?

Before another issue of our pap
er reaches its readers the year 1922
with all its prosperity and failures
will have become past history and
we will be stepping to the time
of the bright new year of 1923.
How have you prospered with
the old year? What have been your
failures? Are you unselhsh in the
appreciatiens of the good fortunes
that have been yours throughout
the year? Are you willing to ac-
knowledge your failures and will
ing to forget them and start the
new year with the determination
to win? Or have you become dis
couraged with failures and decided
to give up in hopeless despair?
Come out Of it! Study we'll the
failures of the past and profit hv
the experience. Your added know
ledge coupled with DISCRIMINATION
to win may land you in prosperity
row at the end of the new year,
but if you give over to discourage
ment you will soon lose every ele-
ment of success in your nature.
All the little imperfections noted
in the past year may be improved
on and set right before another
year rolls around. There are many
incidents in the past where you
would have acted differently if you
would have had but few NOM
ents to study the matter over be-
fore you made the decision thar
perhaps was dangerous to you or
created sorrow for others. Perhaps
some idle remark made with ne
i'll intent on your part has caused
untold anguish and sorrow to
others.
Resolve to watch thes, points
during the new year. Resolve to
give blessings instead of distress
The pioneer-review. [volume] (Philip, Haakon County, S.D.) 1920-current, 1922-12-28

If ait the end of the year you have
done this and nothing more, you
have succeeded in winning great
happiness and friends which are
worth far more than all the wealth
that you might wish if it had been
gained through sorrow and dis
tress to you fellowman.
To gain happiness and content
ment is the greatest victory of
mankind, and to do this you must
not be selfish, but succeed in max
ing others happy and contentad
then you have won a position am
ong men and women that gold can
not tempt from you.
