they will never disorganize.

other class In the country. There are
more than 10000 900 men engaged in
agri culture and upon them we depend
for our very life. Probably one half
the people in gainful occupations are
either farmers or people connected
closely with cultivation of the soil.
Their products constitute the great
bulk of our exports and their crops are
the most valuable assets that our
country has. We might survive The
loss of our steel mills, but if our farms
were to quit producing, the country
would 60 to ruin.
Farmers must be united. They
must have national union. One
state cannot hold up the price alone.
The combination to be effective must
include a large number Of farmers.

never a better time to plant than
when the soil is fine and moist.
Farmers are able now to make
the sacrifices necessary TO accomplish
the great reform. They may organize
and provide the means OF cooperation.
They must meet and overcome the op-
position sure to confront them. Now
is the time, the auspcious time, for
farmers to rescue their calling from
the hardships and ignomiDy of class
discrimination, and to gain the natur-
al and society right TO own and enjoy
the wealth they create. Those who
sit content beneath the bad roof be-
cause it is not leaking now. will be
wet and miserable when it rains.
Those who repose in the shade when
it is warm, will shiver when the
blasts OF winter come. Those who
fail TO fill the lamps when it is light,
will grope in darkness when the night
settles down. Those who fail TO plant
when the soil is right, will not reap in
the harvest time. Those who are
contented to float when the stream is
up. will find themselves in muddy
waste when the waters go down.
Farmers who are satisfied because
there is a show OF prosperity now,
will find themselves crushed beneath
a burden they cannot throw off when
adversely impels those who can, under
present marketing conditions, to force
down prices and absorb what we now
call prosperity. Never was more
timely the Injunction to-Strike
when the iron is hot!-'
"From every point of view therefor
it is imperative that the farmers
should organize, not for political. but
for business reasons. Surely the man
who raises the crops ought to haye
something to say about the price he
gets for them. The farmer has the
power to get what he wants, and To
make his life what it should be. he
must learn how to use it. No power,
except highly organized power, is or
any value in these times. The indiV-
idual man IS industrially powerless in
the United States today. Two
things. therefor, seem to be clear.
First. the farmer must use his power
to the end that he may be his own
master and not the slave of others and
the burden bearer of the nation.
Second. He must learn that the
only way in which he can use the
power which is his, is through organ
ization;an organic alton of his own.
controlled by himself and in his own
interest. BY so doing he will benefit,
not only himself, but all classes of
society. He should not wage war of
offense but simply one of defense.
He need not ask for privileges but to
insist on his rigllts-rightS which
other classes Of society now exercise
without question from any one; rights
which in the farmers case, are Di-
vine. Power applied through Organi-
cation, is the industrial law OF the
day. The farmer must rule his life by
it..
"'Who would free themselves must
strike the blow
"There is no reason why the farmer
should not be supreme.

TO IMPROVE THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
The Svperintendent-elec OF South Dakota Will Call for State
Funds

the little old red school house in the
country was good enough is past.
Il believe that the plans for every
country school should be drawn by
an architect, and IL should be so con-
%structed as to afford the greatest pos
sible advantages In light and other
necessary auxiliaries. I think that
the school house grounds should con-
tain shade trees, and that the grounds
should be fenced and protected as are
other private grounds.
I'm my recent tour OF visiting the
schools of this county / visited every
school, and was surprised at the
result OF efforts which have been
made in the last year to improve the
surroundings OF the country schools.
I found trees In nearly every school
house yard. and a fence around e
ly every school house.
g" believe the state ought to help
the rural schools more than II does,
especially when there Is SO large an
amount Of money lying idle in the
school fund Of the state"

cases. He says:
Il believe 1t will be to the interest
OF the state to repeal that part of the
law which reads In part as follows:
And It is hereby especially provided
that none of the said time payments.
or evidences of the same. shall be in
any manner hypothecated, or pledged,
sold or discounted in any manner BY

pose of raising cash for the said CAPT.

PEELED me to sell our lands for cash.
Every one knows that 95 per cent Of
the lands in South Dakota are sold On
long time. and for that reaso a
Larger Price Can BE Obtained.
I see no reason why a law should not
be passed allowing the commissioner
to sell for one-half cash, and the bal
ance on three or five years time, TAX
ing a mortgage back on the land, the
capitol commission to be authorized
to sell said mortgage In the market.
Why the legislature should want to
change the custom of the country and
hinder the sale Of these lands after
authorizing the same Is hardly com
prehensible."

fications and foundation for the build

NEW WORKERS READ LITTLE.

They Have No Homes, Only Places to
Eat and Sleep.
New York reads less than any other
part Of the country. The reason Is
that there are no homes in New York
no home life. The eagles and the
buzzards there live in aeries, and the
rats and mice live in holes in the
ground. That is to say, they seleep
in these places and because these are
the only sleeping places they have
they 30 to bed as late as possible.
Therefore, they have neither time
nor place for reading. They scar the
headlines of the big morning and at.
ternoon papers and this satisfies their
appetite for reading. It is this that
accounts for the atrocious system Of
headlining In the New York papers
that make money. II New York city
were a city Of yards, like Philadelphia
or Washington, its consumption Of lit
erature would be immense, because OF
its huge population. But the people
have no homes-only places to sleep
hence they have no opportunity to
read. They are forced to live In the
streets, in the cages. In the theaters.
on street cars, river boats. ETC., and
this manner of living Is not conducive
to the reading habit.
Why, II the proportion Of readers In
New York were as great as 1t is In
Philadelphia, for example, Il would be
the greatest literary market in the
world. The building regulations Of
Philadelphia wisely compel provision
for yard space around living places,
either front or back or side. and this
affords the people of that city an op-
portunity to build homes. where they

For some time there has been spec.
ulation as to whom II. A. Ustrud of
Sioux Falls, who early in tn ecoming
year will assume the duties of state
superintendent of public instruction,
to which office he was elected In No
vember, would appoint to the position
of deputy state superintendent.
Mr.. Ustrud now has put an end to
the speculation by making the Off
cial announcement that he would ap-
point to the position Prof. G. Z. Swan
son, the present superintendent Of
schools Of Kingsbury county. Mr..
Swanson stands high in educational
circles, and at the last Republican
state convention was a candidate for
nomination to the Office of state SUI
perintendent In opposition to Mr.. Ust-
rud, who, however, succeeded In cap
turing the nomination.
State Superintendent-elect Ustrud
further announces that he intends to
reorganize the force In the Office Of
the state superintendent, and will ask
L " OIL upp1 dtIOh W ChubIC hiIi W
secure more assistance in the educa-
tional branch OF the state work. He
wants to be prepared to make a thor
ough inspection Of the schools Of
South Dakota each year.
He states that he will make the
betterment Of the rural schools his
hobby TO some extent, and declares
himself In favor of increasing the sal
aries of the teachers in the rural
schools. Mr.. Ustrud expresses the
opinion that a law should be enacted
liking the minimum salary of a rural
country school teacher at $40 or $45
per month, and would provide by law
that the state, which has a large
school fund which is not being used
should assist the smaller and poorer
districts In paying teachers so that
better teachers could be employed.
"I believe" said Mr.. Ustrud, "in
raising the age limit OF rural school
teachers from seventeen to nineteen
years. / do not believe the ordinary
| girl of seventeen Is large enough, nor
we'll enough educated, to teach the
ordinary country school. / also be-
ueve in requiring better educational
qualifications from THE teachers In
the rural schools, and think every
one Of them should have had at least
one year of normal training before at
tempting to teach In the rural schools.
Il also believe that the state should
aid the high schools and the graded
rural schools of the state financially.
Why should not the school money
now tying idle in the state treasury
be used for that purpose? want to
see some improvement In the sur
roundings Of the rural schools OF the

OF the offering Of the lands at public

Mr. Bach recommends that the COM
