ming they were tie; in the TENTH
tie again, eleven same thing
twelfth, still tie, thirteenth no
headway until in the fourteenth
1yndall scored one and won the
game. The beginning of the game
was not very skillful, but the lat
ter part of the game was very
good as can be seen by the fact
that neither could score.
The feature Of the game was a
catch made by Matt Nc Cormick
FIRST baseman for Tyndall who leap
cd Tor a cannon shot ball almost
three feet above his head anc

striker was out and Matt won glo

ii would naturally be expected
that the audience would abandon
the grounds and let the player
fnish up, but not SO last Sunday
The people stuck to their posts

Academy Notes.

The Arbor Day Pro gram, given
by the pupils Of st. Wcnceslaus
Academy, was witnessed by a
number of the good patrons OF
the school.
The exercises were held on the
grounds where the trees were at
terwards planted. May these ben
edictions of heaven grow and
flourise, to perpetuate the memo
ry of the kind beuefactors and
sturdy planters, who so generous
ly assisted.
The exercises we're closed with
a stirring speech delivered by
Rev. L, A. Bouska in which the
children were advised to plant
and care for tress, as they are
Gods gifts to mankind, and serve
him so diversely and well,
There were thirty trees and
shrubs planted. Many of these
were donated by our Reverend
Pastor and some were presented
by the pupils. The boys have a
greed to water the trees and helI
them to take root and grow II
Tabor soil. This is no easy tasl
as the water has to be carried
from neighboring wells. But lie
US hope that this condition ma!
not exist long, as the school i

dear Lord who blessed us witt
the trees bless us also with tn
cooling draught which they crav
for.

Homme County, S. d. April %, 1907
The first school house erected in the
two DakotaS' was built at the village
of Bon Homme, In Bon Homme Coun
ty, in 1860.
At the last annual meeting of the
Bon Homme County Pioneers Associa
tion held at Tyndall Sept, 26, 1905, it
was resolved thrt an effort be made to
raise by populrr subscription, the mo
ney necessary to commemorate this
important historical event, by erec t
ing a suitable monument upon the
site of that building.
Every member of the associotion is
deeply interest in this undertaking,
and we know that these citizens who
came later, and have done their full
share to develope, from the small be-
ginning then made, our present excel
lent Public School System, will hear
tily cooperate in accomplishing this
worthy object.
We believe that there Is now nc
where on Dakota soil q monument

event, 1t should be source OF pride

INCREASING CONSUMPTION
OF TROPICAL PRODUCTS

WASHINGTON, d. c.. November TO-
The growing dependence OF the United
States upon the tropics for material for
use In its factories and on the tables
of its people is Illustrated by some
Figures Just prepared by the Bureau of
Statistics of the Department of Com
merce and Labor. The imports of
tropical and subtropical products
amounted' to s2lS.000.000 in 1885, $780,
1906. and will exceed S6o0,O00,OOO in
the calendar year 1907, Part Of this
large and growing importation from
the tropical and subtropical countries
is for use in the workshops of tho
United States. while another portion
forms an important part Of the food
supply of the people of the country.
India rubber, libres, raw silk, raw cot
ton and part of the raw wool brought
into the United States for use in the
factories originates in the tropical or
Isubtropical sections of the world; while
the coffee, cacao, tea. spices, rice, and
a large part of the sugar and fruits
and nuts also originate In the tropics.
Practically all Of the articles of
tropical production imported show an
increase in 1907 over the figures of tile
preceding years, most of them in both
quantity and value. though in some
cases the increased value Is due to an
advance in price rather than an in
crease in quantity.
Foodstuffs form approximately one
half of this large total OF material
drawn from the tropics for use of the
people of the United States. The
United States Is a larger user of cane
sugar than any other country of the
world. and this article is, of course
entirely of tropical or subtropical pro-
duction. Its people also consume q
larger quantity Of coffee than those OF
any other country, and this article is
exclusively of tropical origin. o.
cacao. the importations are rapidly
growing, and now exceed in value the
importations of tea.
