THE DESTROYER.

THE gates of the mysterious Here

receive former Emperor Charles Of
Austria, exiled on the island of Ma
deria.
Charles, Before his downfall, was
one of the rulers of the earth. Yet
a few flu germs-so small that mil

had him at their mercy.
King or slave, rich man or beg

YOUR SECRET THOUGHT.

IN YOUR struggle to make more
money and achieve general sue
cess, are you making full use Of the
thought-force that can be generated
by that dynamo, your brain?
Thought is the most powerful force
used by man. Without it, failure is
almost certainty.
Ask any self-made man what made
him successful. He will give you
many reasons. All can be summed
up in the one word, thought.
All of the material things used by
man in his civilization are merely
manifestations of human thought.
For instance, here is mass of
clay dug out of the ground.
One man, whose thoughts are
about buildings, will turn that clay
into bricks. Another will turn the
bricks into a finished house, sky
seraper or pavement.
Still another man, whose thought
concentrates on metals, will take the
same clay and from it extract alumni
mum.
A fourth man, with artistic
thoughts, will shape the clay into a
statue. A fifth will turn it into a
dish. A sixth, with a medical brain,
may decide it has curative powers
when applied as a clay pack.
All material things are simply ex-
pressions of thought.
Thought is powerful because it is
mans great creative force.
All of mans creations exist in
thought form before they are trans
lated into material.
Buildings exist in the brains of
architects and contractors before
they become physical accomplish
ments.
The same principle is true of all
human activity. The city mans
backyard garden and the farmers
crops are matured and harvested in
thought form before the real seeds
are even planted or the soil prepar-

they near the crucial point, are Great.

In your brain are many secret

OUR RELIGION CROP.

THE most important crop, our
church members, increased 761,
727 in numbers last year, bringing
churches total American member
ship to 43,423,206.
This is announced by DR.. H. K
Carroll, official religious censu;
taker.
1t is important news, for most of
the problems man is trying to solve
with an adding machine are spiritual
problems. The material is merely a
manifestation of the spiritual. More
people going to church means more
widespread desire to get to funda-
mentals.

may easily be washed off. Adjoining
the kitchen is a small closet for
brooms and cleaning utensils.
Two bedrooms, plenty Of closets and
storage space, a bathroom and linen
closet and a balcony with high railing
off the back sleeping room make up
the second floor. The balcony will
appeal to any farm housewife because
it affords her a place to air bedding
and clothing without carrying every
thing downstairs and out to the
clotheslines.
With the exception of kitchen and
bath the rooms are finished In golden
oak; the floors are of fir, stained and
vanished. The spotless bathroom is
in white woodwork, with a white &C.
ment water proofing half way up the
walls so no amount of splashing can
iniure the enamel finish. A built in
medicine chest is a convenience of
this room and the tub is built into
the floor. so there is no back-breaking
work in trying to keep the floor clean
under the tub.
A hot air pipeless furnace heats the
whole cottage comfortably. One large
register, placed between the double
doorways downstairs, furnishes suf-
ficient heat for the rooms. One rea-
/ son for even heat distribution is a
transom over the stairway door, this
allowing a more even circulation Of
air to the upper story.
This model cottage, occupied by Mr..
and Mrs. Lawrence McGarry, proves

women on farms can live comfortably
and conveniently at small cost. The
modern cottage was completed for
$1,000, under the supervision Of ]. p.

the state engineering department.

MODEL FARM HOME BUILT AT

WED all like Homework and our
children would enjoy life on the farm
il only we could have houses to live
in like that" signs Mrs. Farmer as she
inspects a new eight room house re-
Gently completed at State college farm
at Br%ookings. 1t is a model farm cot
tage, built according to special, prac-
tical plans found from experience to
be almost ideal for men and women
pursuing agricultural activities in any
part of South Dakota.
Every year hundreds Of young men
and mt come to State college to
learn the latest improved farm and

demonstrate to them how much more

much p~leasanter life can be in a COM

that there are more luxurious farm

MONEY RATES LOW

Money for investment for farm land
in South Dakota has reached the low
est point in the history of such invest
ments, according to James Leary, man
ager Of a loan company.
"A man who wants to borrow money
to invest in farm lands in South Dako-
ia, can borrow it at 5 per ZEN interest,
which is a decline of 3 per cent from
the rate which has been charged" Mr..
Leary said. This reduction in price
Of money for farm land purchases
makes it available for that purpose at
a lower rate Of interest than it could
ever be had in South Dakota. That
fact, combined with the present prices
for farm products, ought to start South
Dakota upon a period Of great prosper
ity in 1928.
Since the low point in the prices for
farm products this year the advance in
the price Of wheat amounts to 25 cents
per bushel, on corn rs cents per BUSH
ell, on rye rs to 80 cents and on fax 40
cents.
