CAPITALS ALIKE IN CLIMATE.
Pierre Has Much Same Weather as
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
Pierre.
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: IA inches at Har-
risburg; 1874 at Madison, Wis, and
running from these figures up to 22.6
at Des Moines.
The annual movement Of wind in
miles for the year show Pierre at 80.
1873; Madison, Wis, 1894, with AL
bany, Indianapolis and Atlanta little
less than Pierre, indicating that Da-
kota winds are but little if any wilder
than those Of the country generally.
Pierre leads all with the number of
clear days in the year, with the one ex-
ception OF Bismarck, and is far ahead
Of most Of the capitals on that score.

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 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 10
to perfect their local organization.

HERITAGE TAX TO ACT,
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-
celyed 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-
SAhPtlon llolu llle 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-
lance tax should apply. A special APP
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 1t
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 a decision as to
the constitutionality of the new law.

BIG INCREASE IN LAND VALUES
South Dakota School Tr2cts Advance
in Price.

State Land Commissioner Bach has
returned from his trip into the north
ern counties of the state for the pur-
pose of appraising state school lands
that will be offered for sale the COM
ing mont. The minimum price fIed
70 rsuch lands in Brown county is S12
an acre, and the highest appraisement
on any one tract is $40 an acre. with
an average at about $25 for the coun-
ty.
In Faul1 county the lowest APP
praisement is S12 and the highest $25
an acre, with an average of SIS an
acre.
For Hyde county the lowest ap-
praisement is $12 and the highest 500,
with an average of about $14. The
appraisement in the two last named
counties is worthy of comment, when
the fact is taken into consideration
that in 1900 lands could be bought
in either Of the counties at 81 an acre,
and large amount of it was trans
ferred at that price 1t was a stand
ing joke that the purchaser had to
watch out when he bought quarter

NORMAL AT sPEARFlsH.
Seventy Acres Of State Grounds Con.
nected With School.

nected With School.
The state normal school, located at
Spearfsh, is unusual in the fact that
1t combines many of the features of
an industrial school with those of a
normal school, and is a 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
is in fruit and garden and under irri-
cation. Included in this ground are
100 plum trees $50 apple trees, sever
al acres of currants, goOSeberrles,
raspbeIries. strawberries, a large bed
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 sufficient lot is
sold to pay the expenses. Opportu-
nifty is given to students wishing sum-
mer work to help in this garden, and
most all the work of picking fruit is
done by the students usually under
the supervision of some member of
tie faculty The school also owns
forty hogs for which it 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-
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 1912 hours of such work, to
be paid for at the rate of % 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 bust
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. lie is
a Minnesota man, coming from WI
mona, and is recognized as one of the
foremost educators of the west. Some

tory. and the attendance is not less

FIX IRRIGATION TAX.
Ten Cents Share to Be Assessment
of Water Users Association.

ASSOCArlCn.
The regular quarterly meeting of the
board of directors of the Water Users
association has just been held in Belle
Fourche Regarding the first assess
ment for association purposes as pro-
vided in the bylaws, it was agreed to
assess the stock, each share of which
represents one irrigabe acre, 10 cents
a share.
There will not be less than 100000
acres in Butte and Meade counties to
be supplied with water, and when the
nine-mile extension is added this will
be increased to 100000 acres. About
half the land under this project is still
government land, and two or three
years probably will elapse before all
these public lands will be taken. In
the meantime, the association assess
ments will constitute liens against
such lands, to be collected from the
settlers before the land will be served
with water. This land would be taken
up much sooner if it were not for the
fact that it will take at least three
years to construct the big dam, and
some of these lands will wait about
that length of time for the delivery Of
water.

A PERFECT HAND.

How Its Appearance Became Familiar

The story OF how probably the
most perfect feminine hand in Ameri-
ca became known to the people Is
rather interesting
AS the story goes the possessor OF
the hand was with some friends in
photographers one day, and while
talking, held up piece of candy.
The pose OF the hand, with it's per-
feet contour and faultless shape at
tracted the attention of the artist, who
proposed to photograph it, 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

said to his wife: 1--WE receive SO
many inquiries of this kind, that it is
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

The advertising dept. of the Post

temptation to enlist the curiosity of
the public, by refraining from giving
the name of the owner when the pic

name would be given later in one OF
the newspaper announcements, thus
seeking to induce the readers to look
for and read the forthcoming advet.
