At a meeting of the La Junta Melon
Growers Association. held in the
court house last Wednesday after
noon. contract was signed up for
next season with the Fish Commits
sion Company. of Chicago. which is
considered one of the best ever
entered into by any association in
the Arkansas Valley. +. G. Me-
Claim, representing the Fish Com
mission Company. was. present and
closed up the contract with the
melon growers for next season.
Under the terms of the contract the
growers will receive 81 cents cash
for each crate on delivery at the
platform and the commission CON-
pany agrees to. furnish crates and
nails free of charge. which practi-
cally amounts to 20 cents net to the
growers. This is to continue in
force as long as shipments from the
Valley do not exceed thirty cars. the
growers to receive the entire pro-
ceeds in excess of 80 cents per crate
after allowing the Fish Company
twelve per cent commission. When
shipments exceed thirty cars the
growers receive the net proceeds
after deducting twelve per cent
commission for the Fish Company.
A cash proposition on delivery at
the platform is something that every
association in the Valley has en-
deavored to secure from time i'm
memorial. but the commission men
have alway fought shy of it. The
La Junta Melon Growers Associa-
ton will have about 14O acres in
cantaloupes this season and the
members are to be congratulated on
having secured such favorable
contract for the coming season.

Dakota. This is the verdict of the
prize contest instituted last spring by
j. j. Hill, of the Great Northern, the
verdict of which has just been an

The first prize of $500 goes to S. e.
Mccullough, who has a farm east of
Hurley, and the second $3.50 to John
Lakings, living south of Hurley. A. l..
Johnson. living near Lennox, captures
third prize.
Turner county people are very proud
that the county has captured both first
and second money. Both farms lie
neal Hurley n are models in every
particular. S. e. Mccullough, who
wins first, came here four years ago,
from Greene county, Ia. and bought a.
farm that was run down and had never,
been successfully farmed. Since taking.
possession he a brought it TO a high
state of efficiency. Every animal on his
place is pure bred, even to the ducks
and chickens, while BUILDINGS and
fences are all in perfect condition.
Farmers from all over the state We're

Watertown Out for Committee
of South Dakota Educational
Association.

Watertown, S. %, Dec. WATERFOWL
Is after the scalps of the South Dakota
Educational association committeeman
who revised article X of the constitution
SO as to read as follows:
The annual meetings Of this assocta-
ton shall be as follows: In 1907 at Mita
chell, S. d.; in 1908 at Aberdeen, S. d.; in
1909 at Sioux Falls, S. D., and shall COM
t1nue to meet in each of these cities every
third year in the order named until the
year 1915 when it's constitution shall be
submitted for revision as is hereinafter
provided"
This is felt by WATERFOWL to be an in
justice to her as well as to the other larg7
er cities of the state not included in the;
big three" as Huron, Yankton, Pierre,
and possibly others who are or would be!
able to entertain the annual meeting of
the association between now and 1915.
Watertown at least has ample hotel ac-l
commodations, and as for railway facilities
is not eXcelled by any city in the state.
She feels that her right to entertain the
association in her turn is as good as that
OF any one of the three cities in the
trust" and will press her claims at the
meeting in Sioux Falls In December
through committees from the city ~cuunc1lA
the Business Mems union and the city
school board.
The annual meetings Of the South Da-
kota Educational association with its l,Wo
or 1,5oo delegates, has come to be an I'M
portant factor, whether looked at from a.
business, an ethical or an educational

der VIII Not be Tried Until
Next Mav

Sioux Falls, S. D., Dec. 11.-Judge q,
C. Smith, Of Yankton, who was called
Ito the bench of the state circuit court
lin this city to preside in the case OF
Mrs. Emma Kaufman, who is charged
with The murder of Miss Agnes Polreis,
la 16-year-old girl, Who was employed
as a domestic in the Kaufman
household, Saturday afternoon heard
concluding arguments for and against
a continuance of the trial to the
April term of and granted
the motion for its continuance.
The case, therefore, will, if nothing I'M
forseen occurs, be called for trial dur
ing the latter part of the April term,
which invariably continues into
May. 1t is believed that by that time
Mrs. Kaufman will be in condition
mentally and physically to withstand
h strain of the trial. The prosecu-
ton resisted the motion for a continue
ance, but affidavits of physicians
presented in opposition to the grant
ing of the motion virtually ~corroborat-
ing the Videnc presented by the de-
Tense, being to the effect that Mrs.
Kaufman, if forced to trial in her pres
ent mental and physical condition,
would be in great danger of suffering
a physical and mental collapse. The
prosecution commended that with the
serious charge hanging over her head
there could be no material improve
ment and that she would be in as good
physical and mental condition TO stand
the strain of a trial now as next spring.
Judge Aikens, attorney for Mrs.
Kaufman, assured the court that if
the continuance vas granted the de-
Tense would be ready for trial at the
term of court. Mrs. Kaufman

has just beer held in Sioux Falls by,
the committee of fifteen, recently APP,
pointed for the purpose by the newly,
organized South Dakota Game and.
Fish Protective association.
The proposed new state game law is
as near as practicable a copy of the
Minnesota state gane law. It cuts the
season for shooting prairie chickens to
six weeks-from September 1 to Octo-
Der Is, and the season for shooting
quail to six weeks-from October Is to
December /.
Black Hills sportsrnen have been no
tilted that If the provisions as to big
game are not satisfactory they may
fedraft that section Of the law to suit
themselves.
Those behind the new law believe the
measure will have sufficient support
IN h legislature so tina the emer-
gency clause can be attached, SO the
new law will prevent spring shooting
next spring.
