Everv state that ranks above
South Dakota today is from one to
many generations older in settle
ment and has a population of from
II to 140 to the square mile, South
Dakota has a population of 83 per
square mile and rural population
of 60.
The older settled portions of the
state turned to corn production
more than a generation ago and the
newer parts of the state have been
chanring in that direction with
considerable rapidity, especially in
recent years.
At the present time the new
country west of the Missouri river
has a rural population of about
one family to two sections Of land
on an average. The production Of

HELM PLEADED
FOR STERLING
FAIR CROWD LISTENED TO
PLEA FOR STERLING AND
ARRANGEMENT OF McMASI Err

AltOTNcy IeTCy Ilcllli CdlIlc VI
from Hot Springs Wednesday nign
to address local voters on Sterling
After a brief introduction by
Attorney M. X. Easthouse, he laun
ched right into the argument ex
tolling the virtues of his frient
Sterling.
In detail he refuted the New
berry argument against the sen
ator and claimed Sterlings vote
for Newberry was no more thar
justice since committees, yea even
the supreme court held no law
violated.
On the bonus bill he claimed
Sterling right since the original
would have burdened the nation
but that this present bill was little
more than paid up insurance for
the boys. He challenged the
governor to show what he had
done for the ex service man.
Mr.. Helm defended Sterling as
favoring select immigration, as
well as his stand on the farm
block question, showing where
every important piece of legisla-
ton gotten by the block had been
with Sterlings aid.
On the tariff he quoted his friend
Sterling as saving the farmer at
least 35 cents bushel on wheat
and a better price for his meat
animals than would have been had
without him.
He praised Sterling as response
BILE for the government grading of
grain, the education bill now pend
ing and bearing his name, as favor
ing the McNarv bill establishing
minimum price for farm pro-
ducts.
Stcrlings stand on prohibition
received Mr. Helms hearty en-
dOrsement.
After this the speaker took the
McMaSter camp 70 account for
their stewardship of the state,
claiming that state expenditures
had risen from 5 millions in 1918
to Is millions in 1923 until now
taxes in South Dakota are $50 per
capita. The Machine" as he re-
ferred to his opponents are trying
to get votes bv promises of this
and that as we'll as by coercion.
He gave names and places to prove
his contention. The governor was
accused of violation of the spirit
if not the letter Of the law when
he appointed an expert auctionecr
and brainy politician as highway
commissioner instead of a trained
highway engineer rs thee law pro-
vided.
He charged the machine" with
an attempt to cover up their re-
cords for he had not been able to
obtain detailed statements from
the highway, banking and rural
credits departments.
Mr.. Helm pointed to McMaster's
gasoline fight as playing S100,000,-
600 into the Standard Oils pockets
and limited at a close alliance be-
tween the governor and the Stand
ard Oil. the coal men, the telephone
men and railroads, who were used
as straw men for the governor to
knock down with campaign ammu-
milton.
He closed with an earnest appeal
for senator Sterling who, he claim
ed had the nomination at the pro-
posal meeting at Pierre last Decem-
ber but from whom it was taken
by unfair means used by McMaster
and his entire force of state en-
ployes.
Mr.. Helm left here this morning
for Murdo in the interests of his
friend Sterling.

about quiet trade.
Writing Good Ads
You may say; How can | educate myself to write
adverhsing?" | know many successful merchants who
have gained their advertising education through reading
and studying good trade publications which publish
splendid articles in every issue. No one can prepare adj
v~ertising for the goods you own and offer as well as
yourself. The merchant who is open minded and visual
ICES his opportunity, getting his sub-conscious mind in
working order is not going to experience dull trade.
Like the bathing suit manufacturer a short time ago
who originated a picture of a beautiful young lady wear
ing a bathing suit. He had an actual photograph done in
colors and it was SO unique and attractive that I have no.
hced thousands of these ads pasted on automobile wind
shields.
One Of the most successful small town merchants
who has been in business for forty years has the happy
faculty of getting a lot of free advertising in his local
newspapers. Upon his visit to the New York markets
twice yearly he writes letters to the two newspapers of
his town, telling about New York. H explains about the
various Improvements there that have taken place since
his last visit-he tells about the merchandise market; he
even goes SO far as to give a brief history Of the extrava-
giant as we'll as the economic side Of New York life.
Partners in Business
l am a great believer in taking my newspaper as a
partner in my business. Every newspaper has hundreds
OF ideas that are workable and profitable that thew are
only too glad to pass on to retail merchants neWspa-I
per IS a clearing house of ideas especially pertaining to
retail business, and | wonder sometimes if we try to get as
close to our newspaper as we ought to, as they would like
TO be with us. II you are interested in your newspaper.
they Will be interested in yuo, and if you follow I'D your
advertising with attractive window DISPLAYS. combining
that with training your clerks and keeping up your direct
by mail advertising, such as sending out a letter or post
card monthly, you will find that your newspaper ads have
greater pulling power than if YOU depended on if alone
to sell your merchandise. Il

sidered it bad taste on the part Of
Mr.. Mellon to draw the spotlight on
his personal fortunes and became
incensed. Whether it is revenge OF
an honest effort to s~traighten affairs

something which the evidence alone

National Editorial Association Spec
ial to the Herald
Couzens-M Mellon Scrap
Amusing to the Public

Washington, Sept. 23-Somehow
there is always something amusing il
the spectacle Of two rich men quar-
reling. The average citizen, lacking
in a vast accumulation of worldly
wealth, finds some consolation in the
Biblical proverb that 'riches profit
not in the days of wrath" Such is
the reception given generally to the
renewal of the Couzens-Mellon feud
in Washington. Being eminently sue
cessful in establishing their mark in
Bradstreet's catalog of Whose Who
and How Much" the Senator from
Michigan and the distinguished Sec
rotary of the Treasury are obviously
woefully short on the fine points of
behavior during a political year.
They have, in brief, gathered much 10
the marts of trade but failed to adapt
their experiences to their political
environment. Hence, the smiles and
chatting as Mr.. Couzens proceeds to
investigate the administration of MI.
Mellon.
For a time it appeared that illness
and primary elections would provide
an effective blockade Of the publicly
announced plans of Senator Couzens
for an inquiry into the Treasury del
partment. He proposed to devote
the time of his committee to a quiz
of officials in the Bureau of Internal
Revenue and the prohibition unit. Mr..
Couzens told the Senate that he had
reached the conclusion that all was
not we'll in these two federal organ
izations. The information, from I'M
revealed sources, he declared made
it plain that he owed it to hmslf and
to the country, to expose, if possible,
any corruption and wrong doing.
Senator Jim Watson of Indiana en-
tered strenuous objections to the pro- |
posed inquiry but finally consented.
1t was charged at the time that the I
Michigan senator was sympathetic to I
the "wet' cause and expected to i'm t
press the nation with the futility of /
prohibition enforcement. Many 9th t
er things Of a like nature found '
their way into type. The profession /
"drys" denied they opposed the G
inquiry and urged an lmpartlaI study, u
so that the evils, if existant, could be 5
'~emedied, believing a more whole d
some respect for the law would result Il
The victory at the primaries APP y
oarently gave the Michigan senator u
strength for his role of the cru y
,ader. He summoned his committee y
his week for hearings and everybody =
s on their toes expecting interesting p.
.Quisitorial methods, if nothing -
more. Times have been dull in Wash
ngton since the oil scandal passed tv
.ut of the spotlight, and the impend- tic
NC fracas is a choice morsel. re
It is only natural that cautious po- tn
itical leaders should fail to display Sc,
enthusiasm for this late oubturst. We

is d%eplorable to these gentlemen as
they would have considered it more
prudent to have waited longer. But,
the attitude of Senator Couzens is
best described by Homer of our
school-room days 'my own great mind
| then consulted" This represents
the criticism of local political leaders
on the inquiry which the Michigan
solon persists in regarding as a leg
acy from the last session Of Congress
The investigation brings out many
inquiries as to the personalities of
the two principal characters. 1t is
conceded that they are both men
who have won for themselves M
mense wealth. Secretary Mellon is
rated as the second richest man in
world and Senator Couzens is report
ed to have seventeen millions from
an original investment of five thou
sand plus his unquestioned success as
general manager for the Ford Motor
Company. A portrait of the Sec
rotary of the Treasury would show
him a mild unassuming man, not cas-
lily identified in a crowd. Nobody
contests the fact that he is a financial
and the strongest man in the
cabinet. Unfortunately, his wizardy
at finance is not sufficiently counter
balanced for marked success in the
realm of politics. His successful ad-
nin~istration has far over-shadowed
lis political plumbers.

and ingratiate himself with
