the social session" given by Canon

bling spun grass. This is used in 9TH
err parts of the decoration with beau
tiful effect.
Above each Of these panels is a de
sign representing the chief product, or
some other distinguishing feature of
the individual county. Where animal
heads appear, those of the horses and
cattle are made of corn silk, the horns
of the latter being Of the husk. The
heads of swine are entirely Of husks.
Other panels on the slope Of the cell
ing bear the names of the general
products of the state, including gold,
the nero grains and different
live stock. Jeweled effects in vari-
colored corn, conventionalized flowers
and scrolls of graceful grasses make
a handsome ceiling for this ornate
room. The floor is laid with harmonic
ing rugs and the furniture is, approx
imately, of rattan.
The cost of decorating and fitting
this hall was $4,000. The original in
tention of the commissioners was to
build & corn palace at the exposition,
similar to the one at Mitchell, but Ow-
ing to the infammable nature of the
material to be used, the worlds fair
authorities refused to allow this idea
to be carried out, and Corn hall was a
compromise. l.. d. Johnson, the prin-
cipal designer, was assisted in the
work by five young men from Mitchell.
Opening about this great hall are
reading and rest rooms the Office and
reception room. The latter is in rich
green and white, with furnishings
handsome enough for a prosperous
state, without sacrificing s~erviceability
to display. The walls of all these rooms
are covered with a metallic hanging
in embossed design.
South Dakota artists are represent
ed by several pictures in these apart
ments. Joseph H. Thulen of Belle
Fourche, a lad Of fifteen, shows a
horses head in oil that is remarkable.
Several water colors by Mrs. Alice H.
Taylor and a fine portrait Of Gov.
Herreid are on the walls Of the recep-
ton room.

ess who dispense good cheer in this

The South Dakota building is one Of
the surprises at the st. Louis fair. 1t

fine grove of trees. The exterior is

The visitor passes yer the broad
piazza into the entrance hall, expect
ing to find a clubhouse or the usual
apartments for general entertainment,
fitted up after the manner of other

awaits one who does not know how
n~arvelously grains and grasses adapt
themselves to decorations.
In the great Corn hall, which ex-
tends through the center of the build
ing, occupying half it's space, with
walls rising from the ground floor to
the roof, the rich grasses and grains
peculiar to South Dakota are wrought
together, covering the sides and cell

transverse sections of corn, meets the

ENLARGE HOMESTEAD ENTRIES

influential residents Of South Dakota
are agitating a matter which is re-
Earded rs one of the utmost impor-
lance to the development of South Da-
kota known as the coded Sioux lands,
an area embracing many millions of
acres and extending from the Missouri
river to the Black Hills.
This region was opened to white set

tied sections the thousands of persons
who have from time to time taken

deavored to make a success OF farm

settler and his family.
In view of this, and the great desire
on the part of the residents of western

having the homestead laws amended
SO that those who make entry Of pub.
lie lands in that part of the state can
enter GAO acres instead Of $50 acres, as
at present.

small lunches Of cattle and such
crops as they could raise each season

their homesteads.
This would result in the development
OF that vast region and tighten the
burden OF the present residents by
adding greatly to the area Of lands
subject to taxation.
The proposed measure will doubtless
receive the hearty support of the
South Dakota delegation in congress
and every effort will be made to in
duce congress to pass the bill.

Two Modern C~onveniences Combine
to Save Life Of Injured Girl.
Those modern conveniences, the ru-
raj telephone and the automobile, were
the cause Of saving the life of the ten
year-old daughter of Scott Schlict, a
prominent and wealthy farmer living
near Olivet.
While engaged in raking hay, the
horses driven by the girl became
frightened and ran away, throwing her
in front of the rake teeth, in which
she became fastened. The unfortunate
girl was dragged some distance and
the flesh on her body and face was
frightfu4-y mangled.
The family physician, DR.. Stone
braker, was at a point eighteen miles
distant when informed by rural tele-
phone of the accident. He immedi-
ately jumped into his automobile and
after a record-breaking trip reached
the bedside of the injured girl.
Had it not been for the time saved
by means of the telephone and the au-

death before his arrival.

lection was offered by the girls pa

sisters and the lovers Of each were
not on the most friendly terms.
Cakebread and Hubbard frequently
had small quarrels, but at no time,
with the exception, perhaps, Of q dis
pute a few days prior to the shooting,
were their MISUNDERSTANDING very
serious. Hubbard wanted to cut grass
one morning last June, and Cake
bread had decided that he should plow
corn, and over this matter the men
quarreled. and as a result Hubbard,
with very little ~provocation, drew a re-
volver and shot Cakebread dead. The
trial resulted in his conviction Of
manslaughter in the hrst degree and a

teen years.
On Thursday, the day before SEN

came very angry, and, going to his
fathers barn, deliberately set it on

act and Immediately gave the alarm
but it was too late. The inf1ammable
