YOUNG LADIES AT HURON
State Y. W. C. A, Hello a Very Sue
cessful Convention, Closing
Monday.

The state convention Of the Young
Woman's Association which met in
Huron Nov. 81 to %, vas a marked
success. The keynote Of the whole
convention seemed to be forgetfulness
Of self and heipfulness to others.
Six of the seven.colleges of the state
were represented, the largest delega-
tion being from Mitchell. Those in
attendance from here were the
Misses Florence Starr, Gold Corwin,
is. e. Hall, Vina Baker, Mildred
Baker, Gertrude Cbappell. Charlotte
Carhart. Edna Shearer, Edla Laurson,
Evelyn Dilley, Margie Smith.
The state statistics show 26S young
women in the association: 118 in
bible study classes: II in mission
study class, and six volunteers for
foreign missions. Almost $50 have
already been pledged for the state
work for the coming year.
The convention was opened Friday
evening by the chairman, Miss
Florence Starr. After the devotional
exercises and the greetings Miss
Elizabeth Avery, dean Of young
women, RedielG college, gave an
address. Miss Avery was a delegate
to the international convention
held in Switzerland last summer, and
brought a beautiful message from
there to the South Dakota women.
The association was privileged in
having at the convention Miss Eliza
beth Jones. city secretary Of Sioux
City. Miss Jones opened the Satur
day session with some beautiful
"Thoughts for the Day." when the
department work was taken up. Thit
was perhaps the most helpful session
of all, since every young woman wa
willing and eager to ask questions
give suggestions, and discuss prob
lens. In the evening the Huron
association rendered a reception t.
TIE delegates and visitors.
Sunday was an ideal day in ever
respect. Early in the morning
"quiet hour was held, with Mis-
Starr in charge. The delegates the
attended the regular services in TIL
city churches. The evening sessio
was held in the Presbyterian church

Mortar Tosser..

There is no bod carrying in Japan.
The native builders have a method Of
transferring mortar which makes it
seem more like play than work to the
onlooker. The mortar is mixed up in a
pile in the street. One man makes this
up into balls Of about six pounds
weight, which he losses to a man who
stands on a ladder midway between
the roof and the ball. This nan deftly
catches the ball and losses it up to a
mar who stands on the roof. This
plan would scarcely work for skyscrap-
ers. :

Finds Fortune In Eiks' Testh.

Eight hundred elks' teeth in the
grave of an Indian chief, all splendid
specimens and susceptible of mounting,
were the wonderful find by a Philadel-
phia curio. hunter named Zimmerman,
who has been gathering relics along
the canyon of the tortuous Snake river
for several months, says the San Fran
cisco Call. Zimmerman dug into the
grave, which was in a wild, barren and
remote country along the Snake river,
| above Lewiston, Ida. Some distance
down he encountered several small
bones, which on examination proved to
be magnificent specimens OF elks' teeth,
! and on scooping away the earth witt
his hands he found that a loose tunic
wrapped around the ~ex-chief's skele'
ton had been literally crammed with
teeth, the best obtainable in the day.
when elk were plentiful. Zimmerman
took his find to Lewiston for shipment
to Philadelphia, keeping very quie'
about the discovery. One man to whom
he confided the secret in Lewiston of

What Botani.ts Do Not Know,

How water, commonly called sap,
necessary to the life of a tree, passes
from the roots to the topmost leaf and
e%vaporates is a problem not yet solved
by botanists. 1t is known that the
ascent is made chiefly in cavities in
the sapwood only, the heart and bark
serving other purposes. That is the
extent of our knowledge of the matter.
Beyond is mere conjecture, and every
theory yet advanced has failed to stand
the test of experiment.

PEACHES ALIVE
In Spite Of Reports to
Contrary.
WILL Be LARGE
Unless Killing Frost Comes
Late In Season - Other
Fruitsl Promise to
Be Plentiful.

Unless there is a killing frost, there
will be a large crop of peaches the
coming summer. This statement is
made in the face of the fact that the
Stark County Horticultural society
and other prophets have had the peach
buds killed off for several months.
Investigation shows that even in the
low valleys in and near Canton, the
buds are almost ready to break into
bloom, and the pistils and stamens
are not in the least injured by the cold
of winter. While in the low ground
with some of the more tender vari-
cites there has been some injury done
to the twigs and the crop may be short
ened little, yet on the higher eleya-
tions the trees have not been injured.
A stall keeper in the market house,
who makes frequent pilgrimages
throughout the country, and who has
an observing eye, stated Saturday
morning that the fruit was all right
so far.
Farmers tell me-" said he, that
not only peaches, but cherries, apples,
plums, pears ana every manner or
fruit, promises to be abundant this
summer. The fruit buds are unin-
iured by the winter and are thick up
on the trees. People are trimming
up their orchards and are preparing
to take care Of their crops, as they
know there is every assurance that
there will be ready market for all
that they can produce. The only thing
that will in any way Interfere would
he a late freeze or unfavorable sea-
son."
This information will be very graf
flying to the people at large, as with
an abundance of fruit the burden of
high priced meat and groceries will he
materially lessened The perishable
fruits are something that the trusts
cannot well corner.

IS CONDEMNED
Plan for lnfirmary Build
ing.
IS REJECTED AGAIN
Secretary Of State Board Visits
Canton-- Bitterly Denoun-
ces the Prese Mt In
Urinary.

Joseph p. Byers secretary of the
state board of charities, came to Can
ton Friday evening to meet with the
county commissioners and examine the
plans for the new infrmary cottage
that has been authorized by vote of
the people.
Mr. Bycrs looked the plans over and
again found objections to them and
insisted that the sleeping rooms were
not large enough. He also had some
other criticisms to offer. He insisted
that the experience that he and other
members of the state board of char
tiles have had authorized them to pass
judgment upon such buildings.
1t was finally arranged that the
commissioners should go to Columbus
Monday with the plans and lay them
before the entire board of charities
so that they could see in what they
lacked. The board refused before to
approve the plans, and it is alto
gether probable that from what tho
secretary stated that they will not be
approved in their present form.
The commissioners are of the opin-
ion that there is nothing compulsory
in the law which requires them to
submit the plans to the board, and il
the state body approves them, 1t is
all right. If not, the plans will be
used in defiance of them. They have
bought the plans and paid for them
and propose to use them.
Secretary Byers also visited the in
firmary while here. He said that not
anywhere in the state were the condi-
tions so vile. Not only one building,
but enough to remove every other
building but the insane department,
should be erected, he said.
1T would be good thing if you
could get all the people out and let
bolt of lightning from heaven destroy
every building on the place except the
insane building" said Mr.. Byers, with
emphasis
|. The commissioners will all go to
Columbus Monday and the contest will
be on as to whether Architect Guy
Tilden or the state board of charities
knows the most about infirmary build
ings.

FIRE TRAPPED.
Two Sick Women in Resid e ce
RESCUED BY Aid of

North Baltimore, O., April 26.-Yes-

Reid was found to be on fire and it
was only by the most heroic efforts
on the part of Charles Hager, en-
plcyed at the B. & o. depot, that the
lives of Mrs. Reid and daughter, who
were both sick at the time, were res
cued from the burning building, being
compelled to escape in their night
clothes by way of the front veranda.
They slid down plank to the
ground, where they were carried to a
neighbor's home. The daughter lies
in precarious condition as the result
of her experience.
