FOR FARM FACTS
Commission on Country Life Now En-
gagged in Mailing Questions
to RuraIites.
ASkEDIF OCCUPATION IS LIKED
Those Engaged in Other Vacations to
Be Queried in Same Manner
Later, Is the Plan.

Washington, Oct. 15.-Whether or
not the farmer likes his life and sur
roundings and why is information
wanted by President Roosevelt. With
the object of securing data on this
point a commission on country life,
consisting of six members, is now con-
Quoting an investigation. After the
farmer has made known his advan
tages and drawbacks, other citizens
are to be asked whether they like their
job, their home, their neighbors, and
why.
Questions Being Asked.
Some of the questions now going
over the rural routes are:
Are the farm homes in your
neighborhood as good as they
should be under existing condi-
tons?
Are the schools in your neigh
borhood training boys and girls
satisfactorily for life on the farm?
Do the farmers in your neigh
borhood get the returns they rea-
sonably should from the sale of
their products?
Do the farmers in your neigh
borhood receive from the rail-
roads, highroads. trolley lines, ETC.,
the service they reasonably should
have?
Do the farmers in your neigh
be rhood receive from the United
States postal service, rural tele-
phone, ETC., the service they rea-
| sonably should expect?
Are the farmers and their wives
in your neighborhood satisfactorily
organized to promote their mutual
| interest?
Are the renters of farms in your
neighborhood making a satisfac-
| tory living?
! Is the supply of farm labor in
| your neighborhood satisfactory?

retreat was sounded by the bugles of
the band and division of the local
naval reserves fired off sunset gun
and the band played "The Star Spang-
led Banner" while ceremony of haul
ing down the flag was gone through
with. Hundreds of the knights who
were in the grand stands stood up and
took off their hats while the band was
playing, and no small amount of true
patriotic military spirit was displayed
After the ceremony of hauling down
the flag was completed, the officers in
charge of the companies marched out
to receive orders from Major Puring-
ton, and then the parade passed in
front of him and disbanded. The whole
thing was very military and the thous-
ands who saw it will long hold it as a
pleasant memory. The Communicates
and drill teams in the parade were

Give Fine Exhibition.
The baseball park was crowded to
the limit to see the drill teams from
Chicago in action, and all of the spec.
tators felt fully rewarded for their
going. The crack teams from the
windy city exhibited the best line OF
fancy drilling which has ever been
seen here. There were four drill teams
on the program, all the drills being
for exhibition alone, as there were nc
prizes at stake. ST. Bernard com
mandery, which possesses two crack
drill teams, had both of them out, and
Englewood and Lincoln Park were the
other two entries. Company A of st
Bernard is reputed as the best drill
team in the United States, and it Ger
tainly did do some fancy movements
with a skill and precision hard to beat
but the general verdict of the specta

When 81 ass Nearby Burns.

Dallas, s. D., Oct. 15.-The young
city of Dallas was almost destroyed
by fire yesterday. The flames, which
swept in from the prairie, secured a
hold in the residence section and only
the efforts of all the residents pre-.
vented the destruction of the business
district. Dallas is the registration
place for Rosebud lands.
The water supply soon became ex-
hausted and left the multitude almost
helpless except to tear down some
small buildings in the path of the
flames.
The large GINS containing the regis
tration envelopes were loaded on a
wagon, guarded by officers, ready for
rush in case of necessity.

Washington, Oct 15.-The chemists
of the department of agriculture be-
lieve they have solved the problem of
cheaper paper that will dispense alto
gether with the use of wood fiber The
new material from which five grades
of paper already have been made is
the ordinary cornstalk, and the Off
cials yesterday predicted when the
manufacture of the new kind of paper
is started on large scale it will be at
least so per cent cheaper than the
print paper now made from wood pulp,
The bureau has been working on the
discovery number of years, but not
until this week have the results been
so positively successful as to permit
any announcement The first practic
able samples of the new paper have
been manufactured by DR.. H. s. Bris
tol and his assistants.
DR.. Bristol has carried his expert
ments to the point of making the pa
lper in five shades.
