GERMANY HELPS BOYS.
Looks Up Positions for Them Before
They Leave School.

uCy Leave 0CnOOI.
When an American boy leaves
school he does not always know what
sort of work he wants or is fit for.
Or even when he knows exactly what
kind Of a job he desires, he often does
not know at all how to find it. Such
a job as he aims for may not exist
within his opportunities Of place and
time. So the boy leaving school may
drift into an unsuitable occupation, or,
worse, into no occupation at all, in
spite Of an honest wish originally to
work. In Germany they order these
things better.
Every year printed schedules of
comprehensive questions are sent to
every head teachr of the Munich
schools to be distributed among the
pupils who are going to leave the
schools that year.
The pupils are asked to put them
selves in communication with the mu-
nicipal labor bureau, which will ad-
wise them as to the choice Of a voca-
ton, and give them the best chance
possible to secure work.
Yearly circulars are also sent to all
the trade guilds and other labor So
cieties to enlist their cooperation.
The children respond readily to the
aid given them. Boys come by dozens
to the offices of the bureau in search
of positions as apprentice or begin
ner. Each brings a form of applica-
ton filled up by himself, but signed
by his teacher.
When the bureau finds a place for
him he is notified by post card and
presents himself for examination by
the employer, wherever and whenever
the latter may appoint.
Whittier the boy takes the job or
not. he must report to the bureau the
result of the interview, and his goes
on until work is procured, which suits
him and which he is able to do.
For the direction of the boys the
labor bureau has prepared, with the
aid Of expert employers and medical
men, a handbook of the industries
open to a boy. This handbook de
scribes the different kinds of work,
the qualifications necessary to each,
the prospects of promotion or steady
employment, the health conditions,
the dangers and difficulties, the cost
and time Of training and everything
else which the boy and his parents
ought to know before choosing his ca
reer.
A ladies' committee has lately been
appointed to look after the girls, also,
from the schools. So the young peo-
pie Of Munich have a first-rate chance
for a good start in life.

value S4,UOO,UUU.
Doane Robinson has completed his
estimate Of the corn crop Of the state
for this year, and while he shows IN
increase OF acreage over last year, his
estimate is for a reduction Of over
&c, 1000, 900 bushels in the yield of the
state. He places the value of this to
the farmers of the state at practically
$4,000, 900 more than the 1906 crop On
account of the increased value of the
product.
The total crop yield was cut down
this year on account Of the extremely
wei weather in the corn counties early
In the season, causing a poor stand Of
corn In many fields.
His detailed statement places the
crop for this year at 2,034,7S9 acres,
with 1,97S,466 acres for 1906. The
yield he places at S. SCI ,26S bushels
for this year, with T,414,351 bushels
for the yield of last year on a smaller
acreage. He places the value of the
crop this year at s27,2SO, 634, while
the greater crop Of last year brought
the farmers $23,224, 305.

Herd Chases Wolves.

J. A. Pearson of Miller tells about
his experience with wolves. He saw
several after a couple of COWS with
young calves. Believing that the
calves would be taken he ran for his
gun and prepared to take a shot at
the wolves. Instead he saw the COWS
with calves following making for a
larger herd of cattle, the wolves in
hot pursuit. AS the believing and
scared calves approached the herd he
whole force turned upon the wolves in
great fury and chased them out Of the
pasture. Mr.. Pearson, who had been
watching his chance to get a shot at
the wolves, was unable to get aim be-
cause Of the mad rush Of the cattle at.
ter them.

at the council meeting to raise the

which wished to put on sacred con-
certs" Sunday evenings, an ordinance

proposed ordinance at once met with
a storm of protest, the Young Peoples
Christian Federation meeting the next
evening and passing resolutions
strongly condemning the Sunday night
shows and appealing to all the respect
able element in the city to protest.
Since then the churches and two OF
the newspapers have agitated the Ques-

PLAN WELL WATER POWER.
BY Tapping Earth on High Land
Streams Can Be Brouqht to City,

A unique proposition for further de-
velopment of the power to be obtained
from artesian wells is projected for
Pierre. Up to the present all the pow
err secured has been through the use
of the gas which ome with the water,
and no attempt has been made to Sc
cure power from the water itself. The
plan proposed is to sink wells on the
high land north of the city which lies
several hundred feet above the river;
to turn the streams down the ravines
after the gas is taken out. and to use
the flow Of water to generate power in
addition to the gas power secured. Up
to the present the wells sunk there
have all been near the river, and there
has not been enough fall to the waste
to generate power.

Farmer Harnesses Creek

Joseph Dworack of Scotland IS one
Of the most ingenius farmers in the
state. His farm is on a creek which
has a good volume Of water, and he de-
cided to make use of the power the
stream afforded.
He accordingly built an understood
wheel that will develop ten-horsepow.
er. The wheel is used to operate a
corn grinder, circular saw and cream
separator. The power is more than
ample for this purpose, and It is the in
tention of Dworack to procure a dyna-
mo and install an electric light plant.

Uncle Sam Consjderate,

Because James Colgan Of Oelrichs,
S. D., showed co%nclusively that he on
several occasions had been compelled
to leave his claim and go elsewhere in
search of health, leaving only his wife
in charge, the interior department at
Washington has decided hat his prov
ing up was entirely legal. The home
stead proof had been contested before
the local land office by others who
sought to have it cancelled. The reg
lister and receiver of the United States
land office at Rapid City decided in
Colgan's favor, but the commissioner
Of the general land Office reversed this
and is now overruled.

H. r. Bradfeld, the drug clerk, aged
35, who was shot at Trent Halloween
night, and who was taken to Sioux
Falls and placed in a hospital, died
Saturday morning. His death was
caused by a 3S-caliber bullet, which
punctured his intestines twenty-three
times.
Henry Hendrickson. a prominent
grain buyer of Trent, who is charged
Immediately following the shooting
was arrested on the charge Of shooting
with intent to kill, he having furnished
bonds in the sum of 1900 on this
charge, now will be arrested on the
charge of murder.
The excitement at Trent caused by
the shooting has not yet abated, and
there are fears in some quarters that
friends of the dead mar may attempt
to harm HendricksOn should the op-
p%ortunity offer.
So far as can be learned Bradfeld
made NO ante-mOrtem statement. The
dead man is survived by a widow and
several children. The man accused Of
causing his death is a large grain ope-
rator, we'll known in social and politi-
cal life, and is reputed to be wealthy.
1t is alleged that there was an enmity
between the two men because of the
liquor question at Trent, and that Brad
field had made threats against Hen
erickson. Should this prove to be the
case the defense doubtless will be that
Hendrickson was in fear of his own
life when he fired at Bradfeld.
