SOME forty auto cars with farmers
f««n Big Stone awl Traverse coun
ties attended the great dairy show at
Minneapolis the first of the week. The,

A RUSSIAN writing- from that
country to his brother in St. Paul for
assistance to get out of the country
as life to him had become unbearable
and he was not allowed to sell the
property he had, to secure means to
emigrate. A part of the letter trans
lated says:
v "Have not written for a lcng time
because the conditions of the land
are indescribably bad. Hunger rages
among the populace. The high co-t
of food is terrible. Bread costs as
much as 100,000 rubles a Pud (40
jonrds). Little is thought of other
eating material, just so we have bread
we are satisfied.
"I have a family of eight and have
to support them alone. I am tired of
my life. It is impossible to drag any
longer. I am ^asking you as a last
hope to do comething for lis, as star
vation stares us in the face, and we
can't escape it. Give us some advice
as to how we ctkt get away from here
to your country. Probably you can
send us some papers that will help us.
My house and "furniture I will try and
give away, as it is against the rules to
sell it. Don't send me any cash as I
will never get i|t the government will
take it."
The above Is the stute of society
under a socialist form of government.
It will be well for us to remember this
when cur socialist friends commence
their yap against capital and capital
ists. Our present government may
not be perfect, but the picture of
Russia's socialism shows that there
areother depths of destitution and de??
radation to which hated capitalism
has never vet been able to descend.

MR SUNDAY'S CRITICISMS
•'ISioux City Journal:—It is always
t»nplen«ant to hear the truth about
ourselves, and that is one reason why
Billy Sunday gets on our nerves and i.
crjtiei&ed. Mr. Sunday is unsparingly
frank. He has been a keen student
of humanity, and he knows its weak
nesses and its short-coming.- as few
men do. He has all of our hypocrite.
catalogued. He is familiar with the
little deceits we practice. He is ac
quainted with aJl the .sham, pretense
awl shoddy in our characters. It i.?
his delight to prick the bubble of our
self assumed importance and our self
assumed righteousness. He knows
how many of us are as whiter! sepul
chers. He is able to spot the phari
,sees who stand, on the street corners
thanking God that they are not as
other men are. He continually is hold
ing the mirror up to us, in order that
we may see what kind of men and
iWlim we are. Now that always has

'gymnastic?', as we call them, his,
slang, .hia. extravagant mannerisms
and' all the other means he uses to
get his message across. That is whit
we need, to be shocked, although wo
will not confess it. What Mr. Sunday
is trying to do is to save men from
themselves, and from their cwn sel
fishness. and it is a herculean task, for
the present generation, like all gen
erations that preceded it, is st .f
necked and perverse. However great
ly we may resent it, we are all goin
to be benefited by having a mirrorhel 1

as well as we know them ourselves.
The sxim and substance of the whole
matter is that Mr. Sunday is not
saying anything that is not true. If 'ie
makes us wince then that is proof
that we are vulnerable. If the shoe
does not fit us we will not put it on.
If Mr Sunday does no more than cause
a searching of hearts, his visit to
Sioux City will have been greatly ben
eficial to us.

fHE HOME TOWN PAPER
The De Smet Independent says that
Iroquois not only
got,
its streets
graveled but it also got more and bet
ter publicity in connection vith the
undertaking than any town in tlu3
state has received over any enterprise
of any character during the entire
year. It might be well to remember
too, that this wide publicity was made
possible because of the advertising
given the project by the "home town
paper," and that it did not cost anyone
a cent except the publisher.—Iroquois
Chief.
Aberdeen Journal—Just so. The
Chief does not state the case in n
boast i'ul way but merely as a matte**
of fact, as it is. November 7 to 12 is
"home town paper" week. On that
occasion, everyone who retains the
slightest interest in his home town,
or in his former home town, if he has
left the "old nest" for other fields,
is expected to subscribe for the old
home town paper. It is a splendid
Idea. All over the United States there
.re old home town papers doinjj things
for +he community in which they live
like "Pick" HalJaday is doing for Iro
quois with hi^ Cliifcf. These men are
doing things for the old home town
not only or solely for the money there
is in it, but because they like the old
home town, and love the newspaper
game. It is no exaggeration to s^v
that Ihe greatest asset Iroquois has
is "Dick" Halladay and his Iroquois
Chief. The name thing may be said
of E. B. Yule and his Alexandria Her
ald, W. S. D.
arvd the Webster
Reporter and Farmer, the two Milbar\k
papers, Paul Dutcher's Brookings
Register, Bob Schaber's Hudsonite,
and ah undred other South Dakota
papers The .lournal could name. In
most instances, the men who make the
papers that make their towns known
could have made more money had
they entered some other line of work.
But they never would have been hap
py and would never have had so much
fun out of life furthermore, old home
town editors are making more money
now than they used to in the old days.
Some of them are bank directors even,
and if The Journal's recollection is
not at fault. Bob Schaber even runs a
meat market. But it will be e grace
ful thing, and an appropriate thing
to observe old home town paper wee*
next, month, by subscribing for the
paper "back home," or in the town
In which you live.
Cause ef Earth's Fragranoe.
The real cause of the peculiar fra
grance of the earth, which Is notice
able especially in the spring and after
rains, has been found by recent ex
perimenters. It was formerly ex
plained as a result of certain chem
ical decompositions, but has now been
discovered to be the emanation of
thread bacteria, of which two species
are particularly odorous. Not only do
the bacteria isolated from the soil
have the. eurtli fragrance, but they re
tain It when "cultivated on very varied
substances, even on such inorganic
.materials as pea soup, milk, glycerine
and starch paste.

Odd Assam Marriage Custom.
"'Oue? 'of the stranjr^st of marriage
customs is that observed by some- of
the .women,of Assam. There the bride
sometimes takes the initiative. She
goes to fetch the bridegroom, and It
is etiquette for liim to hide and re
sist until carried off. Women of
means are permitted to ehoose li tem
porary husband, and, when tired of
him, jpay iiiiu off and take another.

a board which had been put on the
door, the glass having been broken
some time ago. That the thieves were
familiar with the store was very evi

A night watch has been placed on duty
