CROP OUTLOOK EXCELLENT.
Conditions Near Mitchell Are the
Best in Years.

The crop conditions around Mitchell
are the best that have existed in good
many years. Over % per cent of the corn
is three orfour inches above ground and
is making fine growth. The condition
of wheat is highly satisfactory to the
farmers. The cool weather this spring
has caused the wheat to stool in the best
possible shape and it is growing very
strong, with thick stand on the ground.
heavy rain has visited this section,
the precipitation amounting to 80 of all
inch, making total of 2.24 inches for

Recent Election at Beresford is to
be Contested.

A Sioux Falls attorney has been en-
gagged to assist a Beresford attorney III
contesting a recent election at Beresford,
at which the saloon license question was
voted on. Beresford is situated partially
in Lincoln and partially in Union Coun-
ties, and the contest, which was institu-
ted by Anthony Cooper, citizen of
Beresford, is based upon the novel
ground that the voters i'll the Third ward,
who live in Lincoln County, could not
vote upon the sale of intoxicating liquors
at the precinct polling place, which was
on the Union County side of the line.
The First and Second wards voted in
favor of license, and if the vote of the
Third ward can be thrown out, as is con-
templated by the suit, the result of the
election will be reversed.

PLANTS In
e.. SIcKROOM
Odoriferous Flowers Said to Be the
Foes Of Consumption.

Flowers were advocated as a cure
for consumption by DR.. Frances Bart
lett, in paper which she read before
the Botanical Society of Pennsylvania,
at the University of Pennsylvania a
few evenings ago.
"Why send consumptives and suf-
ferers to Colorado to benefit by the
climate when we can bring that elm
ate into their homes by the simple ex-
pedient Of having growing plants in
their rooms?' was the gist of DR..
Bartlett's remarks. Her paper was
on "Flowers in the Sickroom,'' and
in part she said:
Borrowing lplants, and especially
odoriferous Towering plants, are of
the greatest value in the treatment of
the sick. AS long as the plants are
kept moist they will diffuse moisture
and they undoubtedly have the pow
err to produce ozone. Some plants
will vaporize the atmosphere to the
amount Of three times their own
weight in day. Tn this way the at
mosphere of a sickroom can be made
of the greatest benefit. The only dam
gerous plants to place in the sickroom
are those which give off unpleasant
odors. Care should be taken, how
ever, not to keep cut flowers in the
rooms at night. They throw off car
bon dioxide, but during the day time
the amount of oxygen they produce
neutralizes the harmful effects.
"The chief cause of colds is found
in the habit of going from heated
buildings into the cold street. If peo-
pie could only be prevailed upon to
maintain an equable temperature and
humidity by having plants growing
in their homes and places of business
the danger of taking cold would be
practically eliminated''
In a paper on "The Flowers Best
Friend, DR.. c. c. Schmucker paid
strong tribute to the humble bee.
Upon this abused Insects distri-
button of seed we are almost absolute
~ dependent for our crops of clover.'
he said. "You must have noticed that
the first crop is always much smaller
than the second. That is because ear
ly in the year the bees are abroad in
much smaller number than later
