The list for the January distribu-

ton will be certified to the Auditor
in a few days by the State Superin-
tendent OF Education, who is now at
work on it. Two thirds of the entire
appropriation of S1,250, 600 for pub

tributed among the various counties
and separate school districts during
the present month, the remaining
third being reserved until June.
The apportlonment is being calcu-
lated on the basis of the new emu
meration taken last year, under the
authority OF an act of the Legisla-
ture. Inasmuch as there was an in
crease of educable children shown,
the per capita for each child will be
smaller this year than last. Broadly
speaking, the piny woods section,
where the population has been in
creasing rapidly, will receive the
main benefits accruing from the
new enumeration. There are now

portion Of this county Miller is re-
ported to have called out a negro
named William Davis, who was in

After the white man had secured
the overcoat he made a bargain

A LONG WINTER.

VIII Chamberlain il the Elk
Point Leader: A lopg winter
this has been-and still isis a
frequent remark on the streets.
There is quite general agreement
that the winter has not had many
bad storms-old fashioned biz
zards-nor have there been long
sPasms of frightfully cold wealth
er, but following a summer with
out much warmth and fail cut
short by frost and freezing, and
summing it all up on the general
average of things, we have had a
hard long winter, and no mistake.
Dakota has a pretty severe cli-
mate, one year with another. 1t
is useless to deny it. For old
people, those who have got past
the vigor and strength of their
prime, it is pretty tough. 1t is
not always a matter of mere cold,
but it the long stretch of months
between freezing up and thawing
out that counts. And it digs in
to the pocket, too, to keep the
fires going and the frost from
playing penny ante with the kids
toes. But let Us hope that
though on this 18th day of March
(the date of this writing) the
ground is still more or less frozen
and the air cold, the mild goddess
of springtime is not far distant
and that she will bring 10 ma
ture's barren face the best Of
Easter smiles.

Sioux Falls Argus:-Hon. c..
]. Bach, commissioners of school
aud public lands, is using the ex-
ira privileges conveyed by the
constitutional amendment adopt
ed at the recent election and is
making a business of going after
municipal bonds. A couple of
weeks ago he got after $50. 900
Day county court house bonds and
wrestled for a couple Of days with
the agents of some eastern loan
companies who could hardly catch
their breath when they heard
that South Dakota had gone in
to the bond buying business.
They finally beat Mr.. Bach out
with the assistance of local banks
but it is noticed that he had no
difficulty in getting the Alexan-
dria water works bonds, and un-
til that 500, 900 of unused school
money is bearing its legitimate
rate of five per cent .sGus" Bach
will be heard from wherever in

competitors. It is also more rap
idly lost in the city than in the
country. But too often the ac-
QUESTION of wealth in cities is at
tended by fearful cost. Many
men, indeed most of men, in the
pursuits of wealth in the cities
spend more laborious hours at
their places of business than do
the majority of men on the farm.
What is designated as hard work
on the farm is healthful; that
which is so designated in the
cities is so enervating. And as
to refined living and social at
fractions there are more of them,
according to the population, than
will ever be enjoyed by the man
who tolls in the city. The hurry
and excitement of a city life to
the average man is not happiness
and without that existence is a
failure no matter what ones pos
sessions. Enough of money to
meet ones needs is wealth.
Passing rich on forty pounds
year, as told by the poet, was
surely an ideal existence.
These reflections were induced
by noting the tendency on the
part of retired farmers in certain
sections of the state to leave the
towns and cities and return to the
farm. After quitting an occupa-
ton to which they were bred
they find their existence a listless
one without the accustomed work
to do. even when old age comes
creeping on. Work is as much
habit as is vice, and men do not
throw off such a habit easily.
There is another thing in con-
nee ion with this present tenden-
cy to return to the farm. Last
year prices were so good for the
products of the farm that the
renters found themselves better
off than the owners. These con-
ditions are apt to prevail for an
indefinite time, hence the cry Of
the owners .Back to the farm"

Give Your Seed Corn a Test.

Canton Leader:-The Leader
has frequently, during the winter
called attention to the Importance
of knowing in advance what kind
of seed corn you are going to
plant and whether it has the nee
essarv vitality and terminating
power, and in order to determine
this important question you must
give your seed corn every test
possible before the time to plant
is at hand.
A we'll posted farmer said the
other day that he was going to
plant or kernels in each hill
this year instead of two or three
as is the usual custom, in order to
be on the safe side. This is a
matter that farmers can deter.

which is intended for seed.
The rush of spring work is at
hand and corn planting time will
come fast, still the careful eau
tious farmer can find time to de-
termine whether the coru he in.
tends to plant is fit OF not.
Here are a few words of advise
from one of the best posted farm
in the state:
"First-It is very important
that you should depend on home
grown seed for the main part OF
the crop, and not upon imported
seed.
Second That you should Sc
lect ears OF corr that have kernels
of as nearly uniform size and
shape as possible, otherwise il
will be impossible to secure an
even stand with any planter.
Third DO not fail to test the
planter thoroughly with the seed
yon intend to use, and stay with
it until it drops regularly the re-
quired number of kernels in each
hill.
