SOUTH DAK07HS SCHOOLS GROWING
Census for the Year Shows Good Gain-Enrolmcn Now
4l59S, a Gain of 2,704 in the School Population.

The school census reports for the
present year have been filed in the
state land department for the appor.
tionment Of the school fund, and show
an increase of 2,7O4 in school popula,
ton in the past year, with a total Of
141,59S children. The reports show an
increase in population in the northern
and western counties Of the state, and
a decrease in the southern counties.
The group of counties in the south
eastern part Of the state = Yankton,
Clay, Union, Lincoln, Minnehaha and
Bon Homme-show a loss Of 526 in
school population in the year, the
heaviest loss being in Union, with 17S,
and Bon Homme next with 121.
On the other hand the counties OF
Butte, Lyman, Stanley, Gregory, Pen
nington and Meade show an increase
Of 1853, of which Lyman and Gregory
show the largest increase, Lyman
showing 566 and Gregory 1872.
Another feature which the business
of the state land department reveals is

Ice Down the Neck for Nose-bIeet

Ice Down the Neck for NOse-b1eed.
Faulty logic is at the bottom of most
of the medical fallacies of the day. Cause
and effect are confused or ina ined and
hasty generalization does the rest. A case
in point is afforded by certain homely
remedies for nose-bleed. Ninety-nine
times in every hundred nose bleed will
stop of itself within a few minutes. But
the sufferer, unaware of natures skill as
a healer, Is eager to give her aid. So he
presses his upper lip and when, in a short
while, the flow of blood stops, he thinks
that it does so because he has compressed
the arteries. AS a matter of fact, the
arteries which reach the nose are deep
in the face and utterly beyond pressure
from without.
Another favorite method of stopping
nose-bleed is to drop cold key or
piece of Ice down the patients neck or
to put toad upon his head In this
madness there is some method. though it's
advocates, in all probability. could offer
no sensible account of the relation be-
tween cause and effect. A sudden fright
or unexpected shock causes q spasmodic
contraction OF the small blood vessels,
vessels. and gives the, little ones time to
repair injuries. A piece of ice, in the
course Of its uncanny slide down the
vertebrate, produces a shock. blow on
the head with a brick. or a boiler ex-
plosion next door, would produce an equal
shock and cure nCse-bleed Just as effect

Investigation shows that a number

heavy knives, and the discovery is

In one instance two boys, one ten

them had stolen about $40 and gun

farming and grazing lands. It is Law
ishly watered by streams and lakes.
Surface wells are secured on all sides
and artesian wells are plentiful.
As regards the soil, there is plenty
of natural moisture, and South Dakota
is underlaid with porous subsoil
which accounts for the phenomenal
crops. The average rainfall is estima-
ted at twenty-one inches. More than
seventeen inches Of this falls in the
five growing months.
1t has yet to be shown where the
South Dakota winters proved men.
ace to the crops. The severity Of the
winters has been greatly overdrawn by
writer's who are not acquainted with
climatic conditions in the Dakotas.
South Dakota is the fourth state in
the number of bushels of corn per cap
tia raised Illinois, the leading corn
state, with 3S2,O0O,OO0 bushels, raised
over forty bushels of corn less per
capita than South Dakota.
AS regards the live stock industry,
South Dakota more than holds her
own. Cattle are raised with ease and
grow fat to the market point, with
very little attention, on the luXurlant
pastures Of the ranges. There is no
such thing known as hog cholera in
any part Of the state and it is a verita
bic home garden for sheep.
Growth of Fruit Industry.
During the past year the fruit indus.
try has assumed large proportions.
Several nurseries have been estab.
lished and steady market has been
found by the fruit farmer.
Large apple orchards are springing
up on every side and render good re.
turns. Last years apple crop amount
| ed to 217,800 bushels. 1t has been re-
peatedly demonstrated that all North
ern fruits will do well in South Da-
kota.
The dairying industry must not be
overlooked by the prospective invest
or. There are now 152 creameries in
the state and room for as many more.
The value of the dairy food product
for the current year is estimated at ST.
100000.
There are $4,000 mich COWS in ev-
idence, all fed upon the rich native
grasses which lend particularly ex-
quisite flavor to their butter. And this
product has gained, and still holds, a
top notch price in the Eastern mar
kets.
South Dakota has certainly come
into her own. She can no longer be
| spoken of as q state "untrled." Her
early settlers had hard battle to
fight, but they fought it to the bitter
end and are today reaping the reward
of their exertions.
The outside world has finally recog-
nized the value of South Dakota as
spot where the homeseeker will find a
it be large or small.
And the tide Of immigration wakes
in volume day by day. Thousands are
passing daily into the state, and OF
| these the first arrivals will surely fare
the best 1t is an apt illustration OF
the "early bird catching the worm"
The tremendous tide of immigration
into South Dakota shows that the
J farming element Of the country at
large is fully aware of the splendid op-
portunities that this state offers, and
they are rapidly taking up the lands
| But hundreds of thousands of acres
still await the man who desires to get
a free and cheap homestead for him
self. Every train that comes into the
state is filled with an eager band of
homeseekers. Most Of these men have
capital to invest.

THE INCREASE IN WAGES BY
THE CORPORATIONS.

The Advertiser, in its issue of
Nov. IA, commenting upon the
general and Simultaneous in
crease in wages made by the
trusts, corporations and railroads,
expressed the opinion that many
people would disbelieve the rea-
son given, namely, that the in
crease was decided upon because
Of the prevailing prosperity and
high cost of living. The same
view has been taken by the Mem
phis News-Scimetar, the Ne
wark, N. j., News and a number
of other papers.
The Newark News remarks, "too
many people are prone to regard
as q substantial good that which
is but the deceiving semblance of
goodness" and concludes its

THE NEW SCHOOL BUILDING

The contract for the construc-
ton of the new high school build
ing has been signed at the stipu-
lated cost of SAG, 600. The size
of the building caused many to
estimate the cost as considerably
in excess of this price, and this
opinion was strengthened by the
announcement that of the other
two bids made for tho constrnc.
ton of the building, one was for
1914 900 and the other for $72, 0OO.
Such a large difference in the
bids gives cause for speculation.
and when the contract price.
sac, 900, is contrasted with the
other bids, it should excite no
surprise that a general impress
sion should prevail that the ulti-
mate cost of the building to the
taxpayers of Lafayette will
greatly exceed this amount in
the way of extras. if not in de-
fects in construction. Whether
there be reason for this appre-
hension or not. a heavy RESPONSE
bility rests upon the entire City
Council to see that every
precaution is taken to protect the
interests of the people.
If it is found that the building
can not be built for the contract
price, then, in the opinion of a
number of citizens, it would be
much better to discard the
present plan, which is said to
contain several serious objections
as a modern school building, and
select some other which should
be free of objections as far as
possible.
In a public undertaking of
such magnitude no pains should
be spared to obtain the highest
results and most satisfactory re-
turns from the large outlay of
money involved. Disappointing
and unsatisfactory results in i'm
portant public enterprises are
always extremely unfortunate
on account of their discouraging
effect upon the future progress
of a community, and these in
furious effects are felt for a long
time to come. There are some
things that the people do not for
get easily, and one of them is
what benefit or value they may
have received from a special tax
voted for any public improve
ment, at the hands of those en-
trusted with the serious respon.
sibility of investing such public
funds.
