today.
The twin project has been under
way for months. but final decision was
taken today at a conference between
the commander and Douglas Sheldon.
department adjutant, on the basis of
recommendations from posts over the
state, The South Dakota department
was second only TO Iowa on the basis
of achieved potential membership at
the last national convention. 1t has
held this position so far in 1924 and
must go to the top, it has been de-
creed. Full details of the industrial
parade will be worked out at the sec
Ond annual conference of post COM
manders and adjUtants early next
month, according to Mr.. Stephens.
The department has determined TO
not fail in this u%nusuall opportunity
to advertise the life and products

South and another at the back facing
Second street. The second floor
would be for Offices and for a Masonic
Temple, and the basement for shops
or Offices.
This is a fine enterprise and It is to
be hoped it will be carried through.
Such a building would be a benefit to
every piece of property in town, and
especially so to every business lot on
Main street.
The improvement of Miller is the
only thing left that will increase val
ne and make the town grow and evry
enterprise looking to that result
should be encouraged.

There were times when McFee glor,
led In the fact that he was the father
of nine children, even II they we're on

but on the day when he was taking

He was walking along at a fairly

stretches beyond the half century
mark, and recall the times in your
experience when It vas the habit OF
men to meet and congratulate each
other on the good business conditions
that then prevailed. Can't recall any
such period, car you? Nobody can.
For the very good and sufficient rea-
son that people have never considered
the times to be as prosperous as they
should be. Nor is IL probable that
such a spirit Of optimism will ever
prevail in any period of the future.

to overcome the eve present barriers

and physical vigOr, minus progress,
minus the civilization man has built.
What We call discomfort ia but the
restless spirit Of energy in an endless
contest with natures forces, obedient
to memorable laws. And SO, when men
meet and complain Of hard times II
doesn't mean anything. Cycles and

years the weak and ~cowardly may fall

planet continues to yield for mans
necessities and comforts in response
10 mans efforts, there can be no hard
times. Just different times, that's all.
Yet 1t would not do for men to agree
that watever is, is right. Then we
would cease to strive. The inertia of
contcntment WOULD destroy the race
God knows what Is best for man.
Don't complain. Just keep moving
forward and upward.

ALL RESULTED FROM LITTLE AID

Does advertising pay? Well, we
should say it does. Last week a mer-
chant of a certain town not a thou
sand miles from here advertised fresh
dairy butter for sale. The printer
put an "h" instead of I'd" and the ad
read; Fresh Hairy Butter for Sale"
A smart barber called up the grocer
and offered to shave the butter at a
standard price. The grocer got mad
and licked the barber, breaking his
nose and otherwise disfiguring him so
that he was compelled to call a doc
tor who charged him a tenner for the
services rendered.
The next day the barber met the
editor on the street and threw a brick
at him, giving him a close shave. In
his efforts to get away the pen-pusheT
fell down tearing his trousers so bad
ly that he was necessitated to buy a
new pair. also his editorial shears
which were in his hip pocket, pene-
trated his anatomy so that the ser
vices Of a surgeon were required.
And all the result of a little nd.
