Huron, S. D., Sept. As a rule, stack
ing and threshing made fair progress, tho
somewhat retarded by grain in shock be-
ing damp from rains Of the preceding
week. The yields of wheat are reported
as variable, but mostly good, and of other
grains generally good
There were several days Of good corn

above 80 degrees; but the nights were
cool O.,
Corn made fairly good progress on the
whole. Much early corn is reported as
practically past danger of injury from
frost IN the middle and northern James
and Missouri river valley counties, where
some is being cut, and little of the early
Is elsewhere considered safe. The crop, Is,
however, much In need of warm and dry
weather and steady sunshine. Reports
indicate that most Of the late corn will
require favorable weather until Sept 20,
or longer, to mature.
Flax cutting progressed favorably. Some
late flax In the northern counties Is still
green. Where any threshing has been
done the yields and quality are reported
as good. There Is still some local report
Of potatoes rotting.
The bulk Of the hay crop has been Sc
cured. and generally In good condition,
but haying Is still being pushed. The
yields have been good In the southern
and light to fair In the northern counties.
Cutting progressed fairly well. =
Millet cutting Is far advanced. The
crop Is mostly good, and In some counties
Is heavy. There Is some local report of
millet In bunch being injured by the rain
OF the preceding week.
Pasturage continues good. Reports in
dictate that grass on the ranges is curing
we'll for winter grazing and that range
live stock Is in good condition.
Fall blowing is progressing favorably,
especially In the southern and middle
counties.

dress stands in that relation to the indi-

than painting and sculpture
While in the realm Of art you would
expect in this work calculated to reach
all sides of life some assistance in the
study Of art as art and you will not be
disappointed, for there is the section on
Home Study Of Art for the benefit and
the inspiration of him or her who feels
a desire for expression of harmony and
beauty thru the medium Of color and
brush but who cannot afford instructions
at an art school. For these there Is a
setting forth Of essentials and fundamen-
tai instruction in how to begin-the draw
ing and sketching in pencil and crayon;
the growth into other media; what mate
rails are required; the preparation, care
Of; colors, and how to mix them; and ar
rangements of groups; poses, ETC., ETC..
and how to mount effectively; china
painting, etc. The section on history OF
pottery is especially valuable to anyone
interested in those fascinating wares. The
suggestions on modelling in clay and wax
are worthy more than passing comment

wish many might have the privilege Of
reading it. I want just here to quote a
thought from it, THE elements of the
art of conversation are leisure and Gull
ture-the kind Of culture that is born of
great variety Of human experiences
and that divine Indifference which pre-
cludes the passion Of egotism. 1t does
not exist in the United States because of
the youth Of the nation; the period of
| restless, nervous energy of action rather
than reflection; Of education rather than
culture. In consequence, snatches Of talk
take the place of conversation But
| notwiths landing the deplorable truth OF
these facts there, are given some very
| wholesome suggestions on conversation
which you will very much enjoy.
The same womanly personality is kept

sential thing in a well regulated home
| untouched, from the table service to how
| to choose sirloin, up to the servant
problem.

not dwell long upon 1t for you must reaC

ever read and in passing I want to say
that in it I found that established Law
governs dress as a decorative art as Law
governs art in paint or clay in sound Of
stone, which explains what intuition hat
tried to tell me why some people ar,
able to bring art into life as we'll as int

and wild, fish, frogs and insects, and
every other creature that in the earth or
air or sea doth dwell. The best of it
is that notwithstanding the countless
number of topics treated nothing stands
out in lonely, alphabetic isolation. You
are introduced to each individual creature
in his own natural environment and home
in which the Creator or circumstances
placed him, behaving in his own appointed
way and living in peaceful relation with
the members Of his own family, no mat
