More Corn per Acre.
Is
the result of planting the same number of kernels
each hill. This can be accomplished by the use of the
Deere No. 9 Edge Drop
Corn Planter
Accuracy in the drop of a corn planter is the most im
portant feature. The price of a corn planter can be lost on
i mighty sm?li acreage of corn by useirg a kind that s
lot drop accurately.
The Edge Drop on the Deere No. 9 has patented feat
ires and these features that the other fellow can't use puts
he Deere in a class bv itself for accuracy of the drop.
This is a clean cut a carefull inspection will bear
his statement out.
Pftint
The ^eere No. 9 is free from the trappy
and novelty features found on other plant­
ers which soon cause grief and trouble, and means loss
lime and money. Very often the loss of just one day in the
,reld at planting time means a loss, more than the price
he planter. Insure yourself against such a loss by purchas

The Lemmon Herald
Y
Formerly THE STATE-LINE HERALD.
I HON. DIGHTON CORSON
I Judge of the Supreme Courrt
of
South Dakota since 1889
Relative to an article appear
ing in the Herald of the 19th.
Tom Potwin admits that our ac
cusations are correct as to his
charges for printing the tax lists
of 1910, and his attempted
charges for 1911, But he avows
that for 1909 he received $12 less
than the law allowed him Mr.
taxpayer, do you believe he could
by any possibility be guilty of
such an act of treachery against
his own interests? He admits
that in his bill for the 1911 tax
sale lists there was a slight error
of 1213 but declares volubly,
that it was done ENTIRELY
THOUGHTLESSLY until the
commissioners demanded of him
to change the bill to a correct a
mount. VERY THOUGHTLESS
of vou, Potwin, to attempt to get
$213 dollars out of the tax payers
on only one bill We suppose.
Potwin would be looking for the
farmers to return this graft, if
the jmmissioners had paid the
bill as originally made.
What has for some time been
surmised, has now been shown to
be a fact, namely that L. T. Lar
son has joined the ring. He is
not willing to depend on the people
under the intents of the primary
law for a verdict as to whether or
not he shall step out of the county
commissioner's job into that of
county treasurer, and proposes to
be on the safe side by lining up
with the Potwin gang. He is
welcome to what he can get from
that bunch -but voters who want
to elect their candidate on merit
alone will be chary with their
ballot before giving it to a man of
whom they must realize that he
is to be the courthouse represei
tative of his gang. People of
IVrkins county, the time is ripe
and urgent for a house cleaning.
Make a good job of it while you
arc about it.
The frantic zeal with which
the gang are scouring the county,
in a vain attempt to cajole the
voters into obeisance, is one of
the ludicrous features of the
campaign. P. J. Tscharner, of
course, id the spellbinder of the
bunch, and it is really remark
able that under the fire of his
eloquence all Perkins county
doesn't rise en masse and march
out on an expedition to tear up,
root and branch, every railroad
iri the west That the Lemmon
Herald comes in for alarge share
of free advertising at his facile
tongue, is quite a compliment.
The voters of the countv are
surely not left in the dark now,
tnat Potwin's gang organ is NOT
the only paper in the county.
Last week Tscharner challenged
the editor, and others to a de
bating campaign at his ex
pense. Well, at Strool, a few
days ago, he showed what there
was to his bluff. Ho had .iu^tjsame
torn a passion to tatters lam
basted the Herald right and left,
Lemmon, Perkins County, South Dakota. Friday, May 31, 1912. No. 51
At the close of his thiilling pane
gyric. one T. O Ramsland, one
of the persons challenged who
happened to be among the audi
ence, quietly arose, and asked if
he may be permitted to ask a few
questions and make a few re
marks. Oh no, that was not in
the program, and Ramsland was
promptly made to understand,
that it was a meeting under the
gang's auspices. It would never
do to let Ramsland ask a few
"harmless" questions. He had!
once upon a time asked Potwin a
few questions on which orcas-j
ion Tom put his foot into his
mouth so hard the leatherv taste
hasn't gone out yet And Tschar
ner knows from recent experi
ence that it's very uncomfortable
to be put on the witness stand.
And proudly he closed his meet
ing. But the Strool folk went:
home thinking. So much for
Tscharner's boasted challenge to
debate openly the ques'ion as to
his connection with the White
Butte affair.
Then at Coal Springs: The
Goal Springs
people
had gathered
the clans from far and near for a
memorial day celebration. Tsch
arner had been invited to make
an address: Ir. Phelps likewise,
It was understood at the begin
ning that Tscharner was to
make
a short introductory address suit
ed to the meaning of the day,
with Dr. Phelps following. Pol
itics was to be left out —cross
your heart. Then the astute
Tscharner took it into his heart
in the nobility of his soul, that
Dr. Phelps should have the first
chance to talk. The Dr. fell vic
tim to P. J's. wiles, and gave the
people a splendid memorial day
speech such as none more elo
quent has ever been pronounced

[A COMMUNICATION.]
Lemmon, South Dakota
May 30th 1912
Editor Herald
In a circulsr mailed from the
Treasurers office by the public
examiner, $75,000.00 odd dollar:
are shown to be on uand in the
First State Bank, The of the ex
aminer is up to and including
May First 1912 at this time the
treasurers books does not show
disbursements made for seed
grain py the bank which amount
ed at that time to over $57,000.
Therefore the actual cash in the
First State Bank, May First, wa?
about $10,000. The treasurer
could not give the Bank credit for
the disbursements for seed grain
until the seed grain notes had
been audited, thus the difference
in the amonnt of cash as shown
to be in the First State Bank.
I submit below the record in
the First State Bank of the seed
grain money showing the balance
on hand at different dates from
March 18th when the first bond
were sold.
