The Prairie Chickens
The cheering news comes from
Pierre that Gov. Ilerreid is going to
lead a movement during the nest
legislative assembly to strengthen the
game laws, and will at that time in
vite the conference of representative
sportsmen and members of game clubs
to that end. Like our worthy and
strenuous president in the White
House. Gov. Ilerreid loves the fields
and streams and sweet smelling woods
and would conserve the little wild
game left as many years as possible,
that the most healthful of all out
door sports mav long remain lb-'
privilege of Amercians.
It is unfortunate tbat there are not
more public men like Uoosevelt, and
Ilerreid. The average legislator is
about as much interested in the pro
tection of wild game as he is in the
propagation of monkeys along the
Amazon. To him one is about as
much consequence as the other. Jt
is not until the game is practically ex
terminated that he is willing to side
track a measure fixing the height of
wire fences and permit a game law
to have the right of way. Even then,
he wants to be certain that it wont
cost anything.
A good deal of this apathy is dud to
luke-wann public sentiment, the pro
portion of those who hunt being small
to the great mass of the people. It is
decidedly refreshing to lind our two
loading state papers, the Argus and
Press at Sioux Falls, taking a hand in
the matter. Xone of the editors or
owners of these newspapers have a
minute's time to devote to the Held.
More the honor to them. As a class,
newspapermen are prone to be indif
ferent to that which does not directly
concern their profits or pleasures. In
the older states wild game is looked
upon as an important food supply
and to such an extent that eyen song
birds are protected because of the de
mand for the feathered tribe as a
table delicacy. The restocking of
fields and forests after the game has
once been exterminated is impossible
in this country, but the government
is spending millions in fish propaga-j
tion—and the streams and lakes must
be constantly guarded from poachers.
No finer game bird is found in the
world than the pinnated grouse, com
monly known as the"prairie chicken."
They haye made their last stand in
the Dakotas and Minnesota, and only
*n a limited area are they now found
abundant enough to make the sport
worth the effort Of late years the
law for their protection has been fair
ly well enforced. Let there be more
of it. What is wanted most is paid
state game warden and a small ap
propriation for each county, so that a
county warden can giye his whole
time to the work for at least two
months prior to the open date. An
county could well alTord to appropri
ate $100 annually to this end. And
let the license for non-residents be
raised to $25, same as it is in other
states, and turn this money and fines
over to a county game fund, to be
distributed among deputy wardens.
It, is a useless waste of energy to ap
point wardens with no compensation.
They are paid in other states and
should lie paid in South Dakota.
This Man Knows
The great mail order house of Sears
Roebuck & Co., Chicago, is the pro
duct of ten short years of business
and in that time it has grown to a
gross annual business of more than
$25,000,000. Think of it! In an im
terview a few days ago, the founder
of the house, Mr. Sears, said:
"It is hard to persuade people
that there is no secret about this
business, yet there is nothing
whatever mysteriousabout a mail
order house. We give people what
they want at the lowest market
price and
i.kt

know it.
That's all there is to it. Our
present annual expenditure for
advertising is about $1,000,000 To
regard advertising as something
apart from the business would be
to put it on wholly wrong basis
and dangerous.
In other words, it is essentially
part of the business, as much so as
the matter of rent, and salaries of
employees, insurance and other fixed
charges. And this firm spends four
per cent of its gross business in adver
tising. This would mean an expend
iture of $1000 for a country depart,- !1rl?,!e
ment store doing a business of $25,OOi0F-t vision
a year, and many of them exceed that Hanson,'
volum of business. But many such j.-Jerauld,
regard an expenditure of $100 as a do
nation to a local newspaper instead of
a good business investment.

THE ONLY STRICTLY MORAL NEWSPAPER IN SOUTH DAKOTA
The Colorado potato seems to ripen
fit for the table as early us the. Ohio
and fully equals any of them in size,
while if left in the ground it keeps
right on growing and by September 1
averages twice the size of an Ohio.
Or to put it in another way, it is
either an early or late potato—just us
you please. It seems to stand dry
weather remarkably well. The potato
is flat in form, with a smooth skin,
free from specks and easier prepared
for the pot than any we know of. It
also takes longer to boil or bake it.
In digging in the patch a few even
ings since we ran onto two or three
hills of the Colorado potatoes from
some scattered seed, and the differ
ence between the size and vield com
pared with the Ohio prompted this
item.
Rosebud Aftermath
When the officers of the Cliamber
iain land ofllce closed their work at
Honesteel two weeks ago tomorrow,
1170 filings had been made out of 2700
numbers called. Out of the first 2400
numbers called, the number of claims
available on the Rosebud, then were
1168 filings taken—1232 persons who
drew numbers entitling them to file
on claims refused or neglected to put
in appearance.
it will thus be seen that more than
half of those who drew a number in
side 2400 refused to file, the very best
of evidence that it was a lottery
game pure and simple and not a stam
pede on those honestly desiring a
home. Of the less than 1200 who filed
probably less than one-fourth have
,any idea of making a permanent resi
dence. Register Brockway is quoted
as saying that there would probably
be many relinquishments sold during
the fall as that was the only-way a
man could obtain any money for his
claim. The others, he thought would
stick it out the uecessary live or seven
years. It is probable, nevertheless,
that a good many who have taken
claims can find it convenient: to go
through the motions of complying
with the law for fourteen months and
then make final proof.
On October 8 and after all claims
not liled on are open to all having a
homestead right and it is claimed
that there are a good many desirable
Claims not taken, especially small
tracts ot 40, 80 and 120 acres scattered
around. The price of the land will
remain at $4 an acre up to November
8, after which time all remaining
tracts can be entered at $.'i an acre.

Just About Potatoes
The farm editor of the()KAi*mt: lias
had a good field of potatoes eyery year
and experimented quite a little with
different kinds of seed. It is a ques
tion in his mind if an early potato is
just the thing, notwithstanding the
fact that most of our rains fall in May
•lune and July. That is to say, if one
can get the right kind of a late pota
to. A number of years ago John
VVilKes brought to the otlice a heaping
hall' bushel of what he called "Million
Dollar" potatoes. The seed came
from Colorado, and as the story goes a
certain grower of them in that state
made a million dollars raising them.
This particular half bushel he gave us
had just 40 potatoes. As jou may im
agine they were whoppers. We sayed
them all and planted them next year
—and luckily for Mr. Wilkes—as lie
lost all of his by an early frost and we
let him have two bushels to plant the
following year. Now we are wonder
ing if he has- any. If so, we want
some of the seed—if we plant another
patch next year. Being too busy with
business affairs and raising a large
family of children, we have allowed
the Colorado potatoes to disappear,
while the eyer popular Early Ohio
have taken their places.
