TWO MEN CARVED
-=KNIFE AND RAZOR
Town Of Orient Reports Two
Stabbing ARRAYS In
One Week

Orient Argus s-During the past
week there have been two stabbing
affrays i'm this town. The first took
place in front of the licensed saloon,
when two young men set upon an
other man as he was getting into a
buggy. and tried to prevent him get
ting in. All three had just come
out of the saloon. The one man, to
free himself, drew a knife and cut
one of his assailants across the wrist,
severing an artery, and the Young
man had to be taken to sergeon to
stop the blood. All three arc resid-
ents of this place.
The other affray occurred on Sat-
urday evening, when as the result of
a drinking bout, two comparative
strangers got into brawl, ending in
one drawing a razor and hacking the
other in three places, making bad
wounds. -
What can be done? Either the
saloon must be closed, or there must
be police protection in Orient. If
neither of these is done, things will
go on like they have done, and every
body will have to arm and defend
himself as best he can.

WHAT is WORRY?
HOW TO CURE 1T
Philosophy of Rev. Chas. Stelzle,
an Eastern Minister

What is worry, anyway? 1t is
just host of restless imps of fear,
which taken singly, could be con-
quered with hardly an effort. 1t is
their multiplicity, their persistency,
that discourages.
How may worry be cured?
First, by realizing the utter USE
lessness of worry. A dozen enter
mites spent in worry will not change
a single fact. 1t is only by hard,
faithful work that such things are
accomplished, and no man can work
well, with clear head and steady
hand, if he will persist in worrying.
Second, by taking larger view
of life. Most of us imagine that the
world is comprehended within our
own limited horizon. That is really
not quite true. There are really
some good people and some good
things beyond the line of our vision.
Third, by not crossing bridges
until we come to them. AS a mat
ter of fact, nine-tenths of our fears
are never realized. Sufficient un-
to the day is the evil thereof. 60
Fourth, not only by remembering
that tomorrow has not yet arrived,
but that yesterday is already passed.
Fifth, by constantly recalling that
this is Gods world. 1t has not vet
gone to the devil. 1t may at times
seem as though it had, but the pres
ence of SO many strong good people
in it, and the constant progress that
we are making, disproves it"

In Oklahoma

"A baby was born to a certain
minister last Saturday morning."
says an Oklahoma paper. THAT
evening the officers waited on him
with $50 in cash. The next morning
when the congregation assembled
two wags stood before the church
and one bet the minister would
thank the Lord for the money first
and the other bet he would first
thank Him for the baby. When the
reverend gentleman arose to pray he
said: Lord we desire also to thank
Thee for this timely succor," and
the boys are yet undecided as tc
which is the winner"

KEEP YOUR EYE
ON THE CROPS

Right now is the time to pick out
and care for the best articles you
have that will aid the fair committee
in displaying the products Of your
home county.
Don't wait until it is too late, and
then remark that you had as good
or better products.
Bring them in, if ready now. II
not quite ready look over your crops
for the best and decide to bring in
some.
Remember this important feature.
In good exhibit of products quan.
tity as well as quality is necessary.
A bulk of good things will always
out-show few fine samples. Bring
in some exhibits the more the bet
ter.
Hand county owes it to herself
her fine crops and her close location
to make big, fine exhibit at the
Huron state fair and the Pierre gas
belt exposition.
These exhibits should also be made
the basis for a two days county fair,
with pleasures and sports to enter
tain home people, either before or
after the Huron and Pierre dates.

we the necessary energy and patriot
ism to make good?

PLENTY OF COAL
WEST OF so. OAK.
Government Survey Says Sixty
Million Acres i'm West

Washington. July 27. Acting Sc
cretary of the Interior Woodruff
was asked concerning the fear re-
Gently expressed that there may be
a coal famine in the west during the
coming winter, and gave out the fol-
lowing statement:
Not including great areas of lig-
mite. which will be mined only after
the more valuable coal deposits are
exhausted, the geological survey has
determined that there are townships
in the states and territories west of
South Dakota, Nebraska and Kan
sas, aggregating in all over 60,OO0,-
600 acres of land, each township of
which contains, under its entire sur
face or part of it, workable deposits
Of coal. The geological survey has
been busy for several years in deter
mining the location, quantity, quail
ty and workable conditions of these
coal deposits. Townships contain
ing more than 2S,OOO,0 900 acres in
which workable coal exists have been
examined and classified.
According to the coal land laws
the secretary of the interior may
not sell this coal for less than SO per
acre when the land is fifteen miles
from a railroad or $50 per acre when
the land is fifteen miles from rail-
road or $40 per acre when nearer
than fifteen miles. Secretary Gar
field has ruled that if the coal is
worth more than this minimum
price fixed by law, he has the power
and the duty to fix a higher price
per acre. according to the actual
value of the coal.

SCARCITY OF
SCHOOL MA'AMS
High Wages Offered Prove no
Temptation to Hand County
Girls

Co. Supt. Margaret Duthie reports
a scarcity of county teachers which
will in all probability exceed that of
last year. She also gives as the
main reason, in her opinion, for this
is the present condition of prosperity
existing among our farmers. The
girls are not compelled by their cir
cumstances to earn their own living,
as they were during the hard times
of few years ago, hence the pres
ent high wages offered throughout
the county are no inducement to
them. The average wages for the
coming year will be $50 per month
for first grade certificate, $45 for q
second, and $40 for third, while the
highest so far reported is S55 for g
first grade, and the lowest is $35 for
a third grade.
Last year there were something
like 120 teachers in the county, and
about half Of them held second
grade certificates, about 25 of the
others holding third grade and the
rest state and first grades. This
year there will be more teachers in
the county holding state and first
grade certificates than ever before
thus very appreciably raising the
standard of our country schools.

LIBRARY FUND OF
COUNTY SCHOOLS
Purchases Six Hundred New Vol
umeS to be Distributed
Soon

Several years ago provision was
added to the school laws of
South Dakota, creating a library
fund for the purpose of establishing
libraries throughout the town and
country schools. The law provides
that the fund, which equals ten cents
per capita for each person of school
age in the district, shall be withheld
from the apportionment received
from the interest and income fund
for the schools of each county, and
shall be used for the purchase of
books by the county library board
consisting of the superintendent,
auditor, states attorney, and princi-
pals of city schools.
The board for this county met a
short time ago and purchased some
six hundred new volumes which will
be distributed in the different school
districts according to the amount
forthcoming from each district.
Last year there were 1916 persons of
school age in Hand County, thus
making the fund just expended
$194.50.
The books purchased were: Tales
from Shakespeare, Black Beauty"
Christmas Carols" Home Geog-
raphy," Carpenters Africa, King
Gobbler," and Lessons in Handi-
