POPULARITY OF
NATIONAL GAME
Five Thousand Paid Ball TOssers
to Amuse American Pub
lie This Season

Chicago, ILL.,, March 20. An army
of professional baseball PLAYERS, the
largest number since the birth of
the national game, is now engaged
in preliminary skirmishing to get IN
to condition for the campaign of
1908. The powers that be in the
baseball world are looking forward
to the greatest season on record. The
season will open with more organiz-
ed leagues than ever existed before
Big leagues and little leagues stretch
from the Atlantic to the Pacific and
from the lakes to the gulf. There
will be more PLAYERS in the field and
more money paid out in salaries than
in any previous year.
More than 5000 men will earn
their livelihood on the diamond,
which does not include the officials.
trainers and others connected with
the game. When the wedding out
process is complete the two major
leagues will start the season with
not less than 400 players on their pay
roll. Large as this figure seems
when the fact is borne in mind that
there are but sixteen clubs and that
but nine men are required to play
the game. it is as nothing compared
with the number Of players who will
wear uniforms in the minor leagues.
Though several of the smaller or
ganizations that did business last
year have passed out of existence
more than enough new leagues have
been formed TO take their place the
coming season. About thirty-five
mnior leagues, comprising nearly
$50 clubs are to play organized ball
or in other words will play under the
protection of the National Associa-
tion of Professional Baseball Leagues
These clubs will employ total of
4,500 players.
With most of the leagues the play
ing season will begin between the
middle of April and the first of May
and will continue until the latter
part of September or the first week
Of October.

CHURCH MEMBERS
REVIVE INTEREST
Evangelist Wright Meets With
Success in Work at Chris
tian Church

The revival meetings at the Chris
tian church are still in progress, and
Rev. Wright has thus far met with
gratifying success in his efforts to
build up and re-unite the congrega-
ton. The church has been without
a resident pastor for sometime, and
as is always the case, the congrega-
ton had become somewhat disinte-
grated, but under the leadership of
Rev. Wright, it is expected that the
church will soon be IN a flourishing
condition again.
Rev. Wright is an earnest, force
full speaker. as well as deep stu
dent of the bible, and his audiences
are favored with many excellent dis
courses. A large chorus of voices,
led by Mr. Carey, is prominent feat
ure of the meetings.
Up to the present time Rev.
Wright has taken in twenty new
members, fifteen Of them by INNER
sion, and five by letter. Monday
evening class of nine were immers-
ed.
Evangelist Wright will continue
his work in the city for several weeks
yet, after which time it is expected
that the church will secure a resi-
dent pastor.

FAIR DIVORCEE
AND HER HORSES

Sioux Falls, S. D., March "a
Members of the local divorce colony
are in a furry of excitement over
the knowledge that Mrs Jarvis Hunt,
the famous millionaire race horse
woman, of Chicago, and New York,
has become member of the colony
She today moved into a house she
rented few days ago for months,
which is the period necessary to e.
tablish legal residence in South
Dakota.
That Mrs Hunt and her fine equip
pages and horses will make stun
ming appearance when she commen-
ces her drives about the city is as
sured. Without doubt she will be
one of the most conspicuous figures
the coming six months in the local
divorce colony.
During the winter Mrs Hunt was
in the south and had her horses en-
teaed in various circuits in that part
of the country. Six of her finest
horses arrived here today direct from
New York city, to which point they
had been shipped from the south.
The horses and three vehicles came
in special car as express, two neg
70 hostlers accompanying them. The
The express charges must have been
enormous.
One of the horses is a famous run
ner with record that snever has
been beaten.
The stable on the premises rented
by Mrs Hunt wasn't large enough
for her horses, and she has enlarged
it to house the six horses she already
has here and such of her other hors-
es as she may decide TO bring to
Sioux Falls.

Westward, HO!

That 1908 is to be the banner year
for South Dakota, so far as immi-
grafton goes, seems to be an estab-
lished fact at the present time. The
tide began flowing this way earlier
than usual this year. and judging
from newspaper reports from all ov-
er the state. it is going to break all
former records as to numbers.
Loyal South Dakotans have at last
succeeded in building up reputa-
ton for their beloved state which is
bringing in many new settlers and
establishing many new homes. For
years they have tried in vain to con-
quer the prejudices of eastern buy
ers and renters, and to convince
them that untold wealth awaits them
here. However, perseverance has
won in the end, and today, the eyes
of the middle west are centered up
on South Dakota and her marvellous
prosperity. New settlers are pour
in from all the neighboring states.
and purchasing farm lands at prices
that the older settlers would never
have dreamed of in their widest
flights of imagination a few short
years ago.
South Dakota holds untold oppor-
tunities for the man or woman with
an ordinary amount of common
sense, perseverance, and pluck.
God Almighty has given the produc-
tive soil, the moisture. and the sun
shine, and it is only waiting for man
to make use of it all.

Columbia has the honor of being
the first to offer this training in do
mestic economy to women on the
same terms as any other profession
al training offered TO men or wom-
en-. The school of domestic economy
ranks equally with her law school or
her college of medicine. Columbia
recently received gift of four hun
dred thousand dollars to build,
equip and support new home for
its school of domestic science. The
plans are drawn and the ground al
ready broken for the new building.
1t is suggested that it's graduates
receive the degree of domestic en-.
gineer."

The Silver Lining

IF one looks upon the bright side
1t is sure to be the right side;
At least that's how I've found it as
I've travelled through each day.
And it's queer how shadows vanish,
And how easy it's to Danish
From bright sort of nature
Every doleful thing away"
How perfectly true this little
rhyme is, and yet how prone we hu-
mans are to forget its truth! The
man or woman who resolutely sets
about to down the little troubles and
'disappointments that are strewn
along each days highway. to think
agreeable thoughts, and to say pleas
ant things, not only gladdens every
other life with whom he or she may
come in contact, but will find that
the majority of the troubles were
imaginary and that they fled at the
first sign of opposition. By being
agreeable, we pay compliment to
our own common sense and prove
that we are wiser than the rest of
mankind.
If you are disappointed in some
friend, just remember that it is pos
sible he is quite as disappointed in
YOU. The person who realizes that
human nature is not perfect. and
just goes to work to please and be
pleased, is priceless jewel in this
fault-fi finding, critical old world.
Speaking along this line. Robert
Louis Stevenson says:
"A happy man or woman is bet
ter thing to find than a five pound
note. He or she is a radiating focus
Of good will, and their entrance into
room is as though a candle had
been lighted. We need not care
whether they could rrove the forty
seventh proposition; they do better
thing than that, they practically
demonstrate the great theorem of
the liveleness Of life.

COUPLE Welded
ON THE STREET
Pastor in Hurry, Ties Knot on
Main Street of LeOla

Abeadeen, March %. The town
of Leola, a town few miles north
west of this city, was the scene of a
street wedding in which record was
established. The principals were
Miss Cecilia Dewitt, of Allies, Macon
county. Missouri, p. o. Neel, of Le-
ola and Rev. c. H. Bruce, pastor of
the Presbyterian church of this city.
The bride-to-be arrived in Aberdeen
this morning, sought the pastor and
the two left for Leola by train. Neel
was waiting at the station and when
he was satisfied that his bride, whom
he had not seen for a year, was on
hand, he took her in his buggy and
drove off rapidly to procure the IL
cense. DR.. Bruce promised to Off
ciate at the ceremony only on condi-
tion that there would be no delay as
he had to return to Aberdeen on the
afternoon train. After waiting some
time the pastor started up the street
toward the town. He had less than
an hour to spare, and after walking
some distance he met the couple re-
turning in the buggy. Without more
ado he asked for the license, exam
ined it and asking them if they were
ready, he began the ceremony. With
the couple seated in the buggy and
the pastor standing in the street,
the marriage ceremony was per-
formed, the couple pronounced man
and wife and the pastor hurried
from the scene just in time to catch
his train back to Aberdeen.

ARBOR DAY
PROCLAMATION
Governor Designates April "a as
Day for South DakotanS
to Plant Trees

AS one travels over our state and
comes in contact with its active,
pushing people, he is isdeeply impress
ed by what he sees in the way of
material growth and development;
and while he is often delighted with
the neat farm house and its pleasant
surroundings, he is too often de-
pressed by the total neglect to plant
and cultivate trees, which leaves the
home exposed to the burning sun of
midsummer and blasts of midwinter
and gives TO the farm a naked,
cheerless appearance that is unat-
tractive to the visitor and stranger
and to children growing up there.
There is no good excuse for this
neglect. Since the advent of the
artesian well water is plentiful,
and wherever water is plentiful,
trees can be grown without difficult
ty. We must have more of them.
The elm, ash, soft maple are more
beautiful and longer lived than the
box elder and cottonwood, and
should be planted in abundance
around every farm house in the
state.
In the eastern and southern part
of the state the monotony of the
prairie is immensely relieved by
numerous groves of trees in every
neighborhood. but they are far too
scarce in the central and northern
parts of the state. No other i'm
provement so materially adds to the
beauty and substantial value of the
farm. Plant trees in abundance
and take care Of them. 1t will prove
to be your best investment.
|, Coe |. Crawford, Governor of
the State of South Dakota, do here
by designate Friday April 24th. A.
ID. 1908, as Arbor Day and proclaim
it to be a legal holiday.
earnestly recommend and urge
that the day be universally observed
and that those in charge of school
and college grounds, court wards,
parks, and grounds surrounding all
p Iblic institutions, also that home
owners everywhere, in town and in
country, observe the day by planting
trees generously and carefully, with
the purpose of afterwards cultivat-
ing and training them successfully.
