To IMPROVE THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
The Svperintendent-elec oil South Dakota Will Call for Stale
Funds

For some time there has been spec.
ulation as 10 whom h. A. Ustrud OF
Sioux Falls, who early in tn ecoming
year will the duties of state
superintendent of public instruction,
10 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. c. E. 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 that he intends to
reorganize the force in the Office Of
the state superintendent, and will ask

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
fixing the minimum salary of a rural
country school teacher at $40 or s45
per month, and would provide by law
that the state. which has a large
school fund which Is not bcifis ;;sca
should assist the smaller and poorer
districts in paying teachers so that
better teachers could be employed.

SALE Of LANDS ON Time
Land Commissioner Presents a Report on the Progress in The

Land Commissioner Bach has pre-
sented a report to the capitol com
mission as TO progress Of the work
of his department in the handling of
state capitol lands. The work is sum.
married. in the following.
Edmunds county, acres, 1,04o; sold
for ~$10,400.4O; per acre. $40; Faux

1928. 40; per acre, sl0.3S; Hyde coun.
ty, acres, 1850; sold for s21 $50; per
acre, s10.35: Mcpherson county,
acres, 5,339.04; sold for $55,220; per
acre, 1904; Potter county, acres,
800; sold for 5000; per acre, $40;
total acres, 12,617.3S; sold for $3.50,
164; per acre, 1902.
The total expenses for advertising,
appraising and selling these lands
have been s473.35.
In brief, the report states the fact
of the Offering of the lands at public
auction or two different dates, and
then ~disposing Of other tracts at pri-
vate sale on the same terms as they
were offered at auction; the closing
out Of the amount of land authorized
by the last Legislature to be disposed
OF and the withdrawal Of lands from
sale when the total amount authorized
was reached.
Would Sell Lands on Time.
Mr. Bach recommends hat the com
Ing session as early as possible auth
orize further sales of the lands to al
low offerings the coming spring, as
he believes that considerable Of the
land can be disposed Of next year.
He asks that the Legislature change
the law to give more limit 10 the com
mission in handling the lands, and
will slightly reduce the minimum
price, as the capitol lands were the
last of the endowment lands TO be Sc

lected, and are OF the poorest in many
cases. He says:
II believe il will be TO the interest
of the state TO repeal that part of the
law which reads in part as follows:
And IL 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
said capitol commission for the pur-
pose of raising cash for the said capt.
tol bulldog IL has practically COM
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 reason a
Larger Price Can Be Obtained.
] 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."
A tabulated list shows there has
been expended SO far on plans, speci-
ications and foundation for the build
inc the amount of S~17.695.94, leaving
n amount available for work on the
-'lding at the present time $132,-

Keep Your Blood Pure.

No one can be happy, light-hearted
and healthy with a body full of blood
that cannot do It's duty to every part
because of its impurity; therefore, the

is to purify the blood so that every
organ will get the full benefit of a
healthy circulation. There is no rem
edy so good as hat old family rem.
edy, Brandreth's Pills. Each pill con-
tains one grain of the solid extract OF
sarsaparilla blended with two grains
of a combination Of pure and mild
vegetable products, making 1t a blood
purifier uneXcelled in character. One
or two taken every night for awhile
will produce surprising results.
Brandreth's Pills have been in use
for over a century, and are for sale

WINS A CASE.
States Attorney Has Victory in RuI.
ina on "S%cavenaer" Tax Law.


Attorney ]. II. Cole of Miller has
just won another notable victory in
the supreme court in tax deed iitiga-
ton. The cause If of general inter
est as involving a construction Of the
famous ~"scavenger" tax law of 1901.
It seems that while an ordinary tax
deed was issued in 1894 for the 1890
taxes on the land in controversy,
there was an 1889 tax sale certificate
outstanding on a sale to the county
for which the county resela the land
under the so-called ~"scavenger" law
in 1902. The lower court, Judge Whit
ing presiding, maintained the supe-
riority of the tax judgment deed pro-
cured under the sale of 1902. This
the higher court has reversed.
