Vineless Potatoes.

AT the county fair, which open
ed at Great Falls, Mont, on
Sept. 25, there is one exhibition
what the inventor calls vineless
potatoes.
Some three months ago, the
discoverer of q new process for
producing potatoes, announced
that lie could grow potatoes in
from two or three months in q
special preparation, in layers on
top of each other and without
vines.
His experiments have Ieen
conducted in a box eight feet
square. In the ottom of this
box layer of his preparation is
placed to the depth of three
inches and a number of potatoes
planted therein. Another layer
of three inches is scattered over
these potatoes and more potatoes
planted in the usual way and so
on until the frame is full. He
claims that the box may be built
to almost any height with layer
after layer of potatoes without
affecting the producing quality
of his composition and that he
can have new potatoes for mar
ket in any climate at any time
of the year.

Waterloo's Homecoming"

We enjoyed the privilege of being
at Homecoming" at Waterloo, Wis,
on the 9Th, 9th and 9TH of this month.
Being delayed in returning to South
Dakota and from the further fact that
last weeks REGISTER was overcrowded
with other matter we failed to make
due acknowledge of the princely man
ner in which we were entertained by
the good people of Waterloo and our
thorough enjoyment of the occasion.
We may be somewhat prejudiced
but we have always entertained the
idea that people born and bred in
Waterloo were the best on earth. Our
visit upon this occasion only served
to strengthen this opinion-and to
meet these people, especially the COM
panions and friends of our boyhood

TWENTY-F|FTH
ANNIVERSARY
Very Rev. George Sheehan Oldest
Priest in South Dakota

September 80 will be the twenty
fifth anniversary of the ordination OF
the Very Rev. George Sheehan, OF
Elkton, S. D., to the priesthood. He
is the Oldest priest in point OF active
service in the state and diocese.
On account of the Goth falling so
late in the week it was decided to hold
the celebration on the 9th, when a
solemn high mass of thanksgiving
will be celebrated at Elkton at 10
O'Clock a. M, at which the Rt. Rev.
Bishop O'Gorman, of Sioux Falls, will
preside and the Rt. Rev. Monsignor
Flynn, V. g., of Madison, S. D., will
preach the sermon. About sixty
priests from different points in the
state and several more from outside
will attend.
Father Sheehan was raised to the
dignity of Catholic priesthood on
September 20, 1880, for the vicarate of
Dakota, which then included the
whole of Dakota Territory. He is one
of the most prominent and best known
priests in the state, and was formerly
located in Sioux Falls, where he has
a host of friends. He is brother to
the Most Rev. Bishop Sheehan, of
Waterford, Ireland.

Two Actresses in the Same Role

The talented young star, Miss
Margaret Ralph, has shown most
marked dramatic temperament and it
is predicted by those who have watched
her steady progress that she will hold
first rank among American actresses,
for besides her youth and beauty she
possesses voice of remarkable reso-
nance and range capable Of expressing
every variety of feeling. AS the tole
of katherine" in "The Tanning of
Shrew" demand forceful, powerful
expression she has found it especially
suited to her and carries the great
scenes of defiance and rage in a capi-
tai style. Indeed she is perfect
realization Of the part as Shakespeare
drew it. Miss Ralphis close student
and her work in this part has not
been accomplished without months of
preparation. She plays Katherine in
the same hearty mannar as Ada Rehan
with the advantage of youth and
beauty, consequently the fascinating
qualities of the famous role are brought
brilliantly to light in the hands of
such an artist. Opera House Sept.
29th.

lays, we count as among the events

days, we count as among the events
of our life.
The readers OF the REGISTER can
better appreciate what we have said
when we tell them that this "Home-
coming" brought together people to
the number of three hundred, from all
parts of the United States who were
formerly residents of Waterloo, some
of whom had not visited the place for
thirty-fve and forty years. Old army
comrades who had not met since they
were mustered out, old neighbors,
schoolmates and business men met
for the first time in many years
what glorious time they had in re-
newing old acquaintance. The sign
of recognition, the hearty hand shake,
the kiss of welcome, can better be
imagined than described.
There were people there whom the
writer had never seen, their names be-
ing familiar only by reason of their
connection with the early history OF
the place and of hearing others speak
of them, but we enjoyed meeting them
Just the same. Then there was the
old settlers dance to old time music
and played by the same old orchestra
that furnished themusic when we were
a boy, andthe same prompters. There
was the remains Of the old Silver
Cornet band with which we used to
play and which lined up for the parade
on Wednesday. There was the old
Blue Jacket ball team (nearly every
member present) that had not played
a game of ball in thirty-fve years.
1t was fun to see those old gray headed
bats who thought they could play
ball just as they used to and who
could fall down great deal quicker
than they could get up.
There were dignified judges, lawyers,
journalists, generals, professors and
preachers turned loosefor a good time,
and they had it. For three days there
was one continual round of music and
festivity, music was furnished by ten
different bands, horse races, ball games
and entertainment galore. The good
people of Waterloo certainly covered
themselves all over with glory and
furnished us one of the best times
of our life. Their hospitality cannot
be beaten anywhere and the recollec-
tion of it will serve to strengthen the
tie that still binds us to the old place
where so many happy days were spent
when boy.

YEAR BREAKS
The RECORD
Oldest 1nhabitant Thinks Twice
Before Comparing Notes

1t has been many years since copdi-
tions were like the present in this Sec
tion. In fact all through the north
west the weather reports appear about
the same. Early in the season, yes
even up to harvest time, it looked as
though there would be little chance
for Growing, but now that the crops
have matured and have been saved
everybody carries sort of pumpkin
pie smile which frequently breaks out
with whoop. Briefly we enumerate
a few of the good things South Dakota
has to feel jolly over:
A supurb oat crop.
A splendid wheat harvest.
A right smart barley yield.
Finest tree growth in history of
state.
Stock fitted for market without grain
feeding.
A bumper corn crop-30 to 80 BUSH
els per acre.
No frost up to date and still warm
at this writing.
Finest grass harvest ever grown any.
where-both tame and wild.
Green lawns since May and people
still moving to keep grass down.
Both Northwestern and Milwaukee
railroads pushing to the Black Hills.
Prosperity in every city and town
and the country precincts growing
faster than either.
Enough roots and vegetables to sup
ply twice the population and the big
gest grown anywhere.
