Woman I'm the Case" No other play
presented In New York during the
past FIVE years has earned so much
enthusiastic comment as has this. The
chief merit about Mr. F1tch's plays

HERITAGE TAX TO ACT.
Heirs o. Storer Estate May Contest
Statute.

Heirs Of storer Estate May Contest
Statute.
What Is believed to be the first ap.
plication in South Dakota OF the terms
OF the inheritance tax act, passed by
the last legislature, is being made In
the Minnehaha county court in Sioux
Falls in the settlement of the estate Of
George l. .Storer of Madison. The law
went into effect last July, but up to
this time no application. of it's provi-
sions had been made in this county.
Lying in Minnehaha county and in
the city OF Sioux Falls are lands val
ued at $4,000 which belong to the es.
tate Of the late Mr.. Storer. According
to the provisions of the law, this prop
erty is not exempt.
The exemptions in this case are the
amounts of $4,000 to each of the sons
and daughters, and $4,000 to the wild.
Ow. Three children of Mr.. Storer re-
ceived the amount exempted by law
from the division of the property In
Lake county, and the widow also was
provided for to the extent of the ex-
emption from the same properties.
When the will was brought to the
attention Of County Judge Bailey, he
remembered something of the division
OF the property outside of Minnehaha
county and decided that the inheri-
tance tax should apply. A special ap-
praiser was appointed and submitted
his appraisement, which showed the
estate to be approximately $4,000 in
value.
The tax on this property, amounting
to $500, will have to be paid to the
county treasurer before the title to it
can be given to the heirs. The case
may be contested, and it is possible
that the state supreme court may be
called upon to render decision as to
the constitutionality of the new law.

FARMERS FAVOR COMBINE.
American Society Of Equity Grows
Rapidly in South Dakota.

Much interest Is manifested in this
state in the dispatches from Indianap-
oils to the effect that the American
Society OF Equity has secured a men,
bership Of 100000 farmers. and that
the members have determined not to
sell their products after March 1, ex-
cept at the minimum price agreed on
by the officers Of the society.
For the last six months agents OF
this society have been at work in
South Dakota organizing local socie-
ties. and have met with success far
beyond their expectations. Farmers
are joining in great numbers, and
shrewd business men are becoming
convinced that these producers will
be able to exert a marked influence
on the prices OF farm products. Con-
ditions here now are more favorable
to a project of this kind than In the
middle and eastern states. as the
percentage OF rents Is comparatively
small. and the great majority OF farm
ers are so situated that they will not
have to dispose of their produce as
soon as possible to meet outstanding
obligations, but can afford to hold for
higher prices. The farmers OF Sphinx
county will meet here on March Is
to perfect their local organization.

the gun, with the remark, "Shoot that

PERFECT HAND.
How Its Appearance Became Familiar
to the Public

How Its Appearance Became Familiar
to the Public
The story of how probably the
most perfect feminine hand in Amert-
ca became known to the people 10
rather interesting.
AS the story goes the possessor Of
photographers one day, and while
talking, held up piece OF candy.
The pose of the hand, with its per-
feet contour and faultless shape at
tracted the attention OF the artist, who
proposed to photograph 1t. The re-
suit was beautiful picture kept In
the family until, one day, after read
ing letter from some one inquiring
as to who wrote the Postum and
Grape-Nuts advertisements, Mr. Post
said to his wife: I'VE receive 50
many inquiries of this kind, that it IL
evident some people are curious
to know; suppose we let the advertis-
ing department have that picture of
your hand to print and name It "A
Helping Hand" (Mrs. Post has az
sisted him in preparation Of some Of
the most famous advertisements).
There was a natural shrinking
from the publicity, but with an agree
ment that no name would accompany
the picture its use was granted.
The case was presented in the light
Of extending a welcoming hand to the
friends of Postum and Grape Nuts.
SO the picture appeared on the back
covers of many of the January and
February magazines and became
known to millions of people.
Many artists have commented upon
it as probably the most perfect hand
| In the world.
The advertising dept. of the Post.
um Co. did not seem able to resist the
temptation to enlist the curiosity OF
the public, by refraining from giving
the name of the owner when the pic
ture appeared, but stated that the
name would be given later in one OF
the newspaper announcements, thus
seeking to induce the readers to look
for and read the forthcoming adverl
tisements to learn the name of the
owner.

CAPITALS ALIKE IN CLIMATE.
Pierre Has Much Same Weather az
Other State Centers.


Doane Robinson has been collecting
a few figures to show that climatic
conditions at Pierre are not so much
different from those at other state cap
itals. The observations show the av-
erage for a period of five years, and
cover the capitals OF twelve states,
reaching from Albany, N. Y. west to
Fierre.
The rainfall for the crop months Of
the year is shown to be 1914 inches at
Pierre; IA inches at Albany; 10.5
inches at Bismarck: Id 8 inches at Har
risburg; 1874 at Madison, Wis, and
running from these figures up to 22.6

nected With School.
The state normal school, located at
1pearfish, is unusual in the fact that
1t combines many of the features of
an industrial school with those OF a
normal school, and is good illustra-
ton of the prominent part which in
dustrial training claims to-day in our
methods of education. Seventy acres
of state grounds are connected with
the school, and fifteen acres OF this

CATION. Included in this ground are
100 plum trees, $50 apple trees, sever
al acres of currants, gooseberrles,
raspberries, strawberries, large Ded
Of asparagus and considerable OF those
good old-fashioned staples, rhubarb
and horseradish. Not less than $500
quarts of jelly, jam and canned small
fruits are put up yearly for the board
ing department, and a sufficient lot is
sold to pay the expenses. Opportu-

the supervision of some member OF
the faculty. The school also owns
forty hogs for which 1t is necessary
to buy almost no feed except perhaps
a little shorts during the summer va
cation. 1t has been the plan Of the
school to add bee culture and poultry
raising, both for purposes OF instruc-
ton ,and also to aid the boarding de-
partment, but these plans have not
yet been carried out. President Cook
has been making experiments along
the chicken raising line for several
years and hopes soon to make this
addition to the schools needs. The
school has grown very rapidly, and
has been hampered very much by lack
of funds. A large amount Of the
work In garden, fields and house Is
done by the students. There are con-
tracts for S,512 hours of such work, to
be paid for at the rate Of q cents an
hour and to. be done partly by the
girls, partly by the boys. In addition
to this about $500 hours Of transient
work is done by school boys for 20
cents an hour. All of this is outside
of the work of picking fruit already
referred to. Although SO much atten-
ton is given to industrial and agricul-
tural training. vet there is no neglect
of the purely mental culture required.
The record of the graduates of this
school both as educators and as busi-
ness men and women is remarkably
good, and can probably not be ex-
celled by any SIMILAR institution in
the United States. Professor F. L..
Cook, the president, has been with the
school for almost twenty years. .te is
