DEATHS
PHILO HALL. ,JR.


Sweet little face, so full of slumber now
Sweet lips unified now with any kiss
Sweet dimpled cheek and chin, and snowy brow,
What quietude is this
20 speak, Have you forgotten. yesterday,
How gladly you came running to the gate
To meet in the old familiar way,
So joyous-so elate-
$50 filed with widest glee, yet so serene
With innocence of song and childish chat,
With all the dear caresses in between
Have you forgotten that?
Have you forgotten, knowing gentler charms,
The boisterous love of one you ran TO greet
Whep you last met, who caught you in his aims
And kissed you in the street,
Not very many days have passed since then,
And yet between that kiss and him there lies
No pathway of return-unless again,
In streets of Paradise,
''Your eager feet come twinkling down the gold
OF some bright thorougfare ethereal,
To meet and greet him there just as of old
Till then, farewell-farewel.'
james Whitcomb Riley.
1t is doubtful if the death OF child
has had more depressing effect upon
this community than has been exper-
fenced by the sudden and, from
human standpoint, untimely demise
of Philo Jr., eldest son OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Philo Hall, which occurred
Thursday, Nov. ID.
"Son," as he was familiarly known,

delegates there were a large number
OF faculty members from the various
colleges and high schools present.
1t was not decided where the next
convention will be held, but it is ex-
pected that the next meeting will be
even more largly attended and more
helpful than the one at Redfield if
that be possible.
Those who attended from the Agri-
cultural college were Misses Lolo
Underwood, Ethel Lawrence, Jessie
Cole, Bess Fridley, Amy Maryland, f.,
Edna Bushnell, Ruth Peirce, Edith
Hubbart and Ada Caldwell. They all
report an enjoyable and profitable

South Dakota Corn Growers
Association Want a Big
Attendance
DECEMBER 18, 10, 20
DATES OF MEETING
OF More Than Passing Interest to
the Farmers Of the State

The South Dakota Corn Growers
Association will hold its meeting and
corn show at Mitchell on December 18,
10 and 20. Arrangements have been
m ade for the services OF Prof. A. N.
Hume of the Illinois College OF
Agriculture, assisted by Prof. Cole of
the South Dakota College OF Agricult-
ure, to conduct during the 18th and
10Th corn school for farmers. Every
farmer attending, who desires to do so,
will be member OF the class, and the
time will be devoted to studying typea
and kinds OF corn most profitable to
be raised in this state, to the selection,
care and testing OF the seed and to the
preparation of the seed bed and culti-
vation of the crop. rThese corn schools
are held very extensively in Iowa,
Nebraska and in Illinois, and have
been a great assistance in bringing
corn to the front in those states.
This instruction will be freeN to all
farmers who will attend and it is hoped
that there will be large attendance
during the entire meeting.
Owing to the fact that the Associat-
ion is able to secure the services OF
Prof. Hume, the length OF the meeting
has been extended one day. Remember
the dates-fS, 10 and 20 OF December.
Secretary II. c.. Warner OF Forest
burg, S. d., will furnish entry blanks
for all who wish to make entries of
corn. Drop him a line and he will
send you blank. Owing to the fact
that all entries will have to be scored,
it is necessary that the corn should be
in the hands OF the committee in time
that the scoring may be done before
the opening OF the meeting. For this
reason the committee has determined
that all corn to be shown or to compete
for prizes, must be in the hands of
the secretary at Mitchell by Friday
night, December 18th. Therefore it
will be necessary for persons desiring
to enter corn to make their selections
and express the corn to II. G. Warner,
Mitchell, 5. D., so it will reach there
by Friday evening, December 18th,
pre-paying the express which will not
exceed 25c. Ten ears sof Hcorn are
required in each class. Mr.. Warner
will send you with the entry blanks
| list OF the premiums, rules for govern
| hn
corn, which will assist you in making
your selections.
1t is hoped that every county in
South Dakota will be represented by
at least ten entries OF corn in this
contest. The business men OF the
state are requested to see that their
respective counties are well represented
in this contest, and also in the
meeting. There will also be special
class in corn, stock judging and
poultry, under the auspices of the
Agricultural College OF Brookings,
commencing January 2nd, and con-
tinuing for two weeks. This is a new
and very commendable feature Of
work at our Agricultural College, and
the Association hopes as many farmers
and farmers sons will take advantage
Of it as can possibly do SO.
The officers OF the Association are
doing all in their power to make the
meeting at Mitchell success in every
way and all who can should attend
the sessions.
