OF course few of the fddles thus OBJ

To get an idea of Il cyclones forma-
ton imagine a large circular pan or
tub with quite a large hole in the
middle of the bottom. With this hole
plugged, fill the vessel With water,
then draw out the plug and watch.
There is fest Il rush of water from
ali directions toward the hole and Il
turbulent effort to get through: then
the water surface above begins to
sink and swirl, the particles gradually
circling around and around and rush
Ing, ever faster, toward the center.
At last there is actually a hollow space
through the center, around which all
the water in the tub is whirling slug
gishly near the rim, but With more and
more violent rapidity toward the mid
die until it rushes downward through
the bottom. Now, If that water were
air YOU would be watching a little
cyclone turned upside down, for the
air PUSHES upward instead Of down

into a regular spinning around q COM

The cyclone, once formed, rushes
away from the tropics toward the pole
and begins its career of destruction,
bruising, wrecking and sinking the
luckless ships which happen to be in

THE CORN PALACE YEAR
Mitchell Will Have a Fine Entertain
ment in September for the
General Public.

Mitchell's corn palace dates are
less than two months away and what
will be the biggest show in the
northwest TINS year will be pulled Off
during the week of Sept. 23-2S-siX
days of splendid entertainment in a
musical way, a magnificent display
OF the states products and a grand
good time after the harvest is all
over and the crop garnered.
Mltchell's corr palace is regarded
as one of the solid and substantial
entertainment propositions OF the
northwest, where much is brought
together for the people to see and
hear. This year Mitchell will offer
the people Of the northwest more
than is usually tue case in an enter
tainment of this kind-and the
features will all be big.
AS the leading features OF the entire
week will be the appearance of John
Phillip SouSa and his band, who will
give twelve concerts in the corn
palace building. When the public
n0ws that Mr.. Sousa is coming to
Mitchell's corn palace with his band
there is not the slightest hestiancy
about arranging to go to the corn
palace, for the people know full
we'll that they will not be disap-
pointed in anything. Mr.. Sousa is
known from one end OF the continent
to the other and he is known as the
greatest band leader in this country,
or any other for that matter and
Mitchell will oring HIM here
with his magnificent band to enter
tain the people.
The agricultural displays will be
just as good as the seaso will permit
the grain to develop, and the
counties which have applied for
space are on the lookout to secure
the best samples Of grain which will
constitute the exhibit In the palace.
Superintendent Smith, who has
charge Of this department., is arrang-
ing with the Belle Fourche people to
make a display of the products of the
irrigated section Of country IN the
western part OF tie state. and it is
very likely that they will take
advantage of the opportunity to
show the eastern people what can
be accomplished by successful irriga-
tion. 1t will be quite an important
feature Of the display. The agri-
cultural products will give the
eastern people on opportunity to see
what the counties Of South Dakota
produce, ven in an off year as this
has been not, only in this state but
all over the country.
The RAILROADS have made a rate Of
one fare for the round trip to the
corn palace, for the roads recognize
what great crowds come to Mitchell
and special trains will be run to
accommodate the people.
The free street attractions will be
OF d high order and contracts are
being made for some exceptionally
good talent during the week. A
special feature will be the illumin-
alton of the street every night
during the week. Over $500 electric
lights will illuminate Main street for
a distance of five blocks, from the
Milwaukee depot to the corn palace
such an illumination as has never
been seer in the state before.
Just pin The dates of Sept 1928 in
your hat and arrange to come to
Mitchell for the biggest show for the
year.

SING A SONG.

II you'll sing song as you 90 along,
In the face Of the real or the fancied
wrong;
In spite of the doubt If you'll fight it out,
And show a heart that is brave and stout
II you'll laugh at the jeers and refuse
the tears,
You'll force the ever-reluctant cheers
That the world denies when a coward
cries,
10 give to the man who bravely tries;
And you'll win success with a little
song
II you'll sing the song as you go along
II you'll sing song as you plod along,
You'll find that the busy, rushing throng
VIII catch the strain of the glad refrain !;
mat the sun will follow the binding
rain;
That the clouds will fly from the black
ened sky;
That the stars will come out by and by !;
And you'll make new friends, till hope
descends
From where the placid rainbow bends:
And all because of little song
Ii you'll sing the song as you plod along
II you'll sing song as you trudge along,
You'll see that the singing will make you
strong;
And the heavy load and the rugged road
And the sting and the stripe of the tor
tuous goad
Will soar with the note that you set
afoat;
An %l
mote;
That the world is bad when you are sad
And bright and beautiful when glad,
mat all you need is little song
If you'll sing the song as you trudge
along!

At that moment something happen
ed. The wheels of a carriage ratified
down the narrow street. A knock came
to the front door, and presently the
little maid-of- all-work announced Mrs
Spencer"
She stood on the threshold almost
enveloped in costly furs, and with a
startled cry Margaret rose to her feet,
for she recognized her at once as an
interested observer Of their trying half
hour at Sloane's.
In another moment she had settled
herself costly in an armchair, and the
dark, mournful room seemed full of
sunshine and brightness.

this unconventional way" said Mrs.
Spencer; 'but 1 saw you, as you know

Seeing at a glance that the sisters
were not "bargainers," the kind-heartet
lady named sum far beyond all theil
expectations, and insisted on its &C
ceptance in a way which touched then
deeply.
