The harmonious sounds Of the tea

escaping from beneath thin sheets Of
iron fastened close together nearly at
the bottom Of the kettles. To produce
the best effects some skill is required
in regulating the fire. The character
of the sounds varies with the form of
the kettle. These singing kettles have
been used for many centuries.

The boys and girls may be surprised
to hear that the length Of the day may
be found by doubling the time of the
suns setting and the length Of the
night by doubling the time Of the
SUMS rising. If, for example, the sun
sets at 7:30, the length of the day is
Is hours, for twice 7:3O is Is. If the
sun rises that day at 4:3O, the length Of
the night is 8 hours, for twice 4:3O Is 0.

The Sioux Falls Press will resort
to most anything to bring discredit
Senator Kittedge In order to bring
about his defeat-if such a thing
we're possible. About the smallest
piece Of business the Press has in
dulged in was to connect Senator
Kittredge with the city election in
Sioux Falls and stating that "Saloons
and Kittredge VIM" 1t was done
simply to try and prejudice some
people over the state against the
senator who might be led to think
THAI the senator was mixed up
personally in the campaign. The
Press, however, had no mor bust
ness to associate the senator's ZANE
with the election. in Sioux Falls
chan 1t had to connect Governor
Crawford with it. But 1t resorted to
q little cheap buncombe to try and
create a sentiment Tor which there is
no grounds. IL the Press was as
active 10 trying 10 be honest as it
is dishonest there is a possibility
that 1t might accomplish something.

And chestnuts You will find.
And il o the nursery fire
You sit and crack and eat
And joke and spin a merry yarn

But there are other nuts to crack.
Quite different, you'll find,
From hazelnuts or hickory
Or any other kind.

These nuts are hard. indeed,
And spelling is another nat.
And there's TO write and read.
And history and grammar. all
These nuts are good to eat
Though hard to crack. you'll find In

A kernel sound and sweet.
Indeed. a hog of nuts is hid
Behind each schoolroom door.
Be sure you've cracked them. every
one.
Before you ask for more.

SHEEP CAPTURE SALMON RANGE
Cattle Men All Turning Attention to
Wool Production.

The ranges of the Salmon river
that eight years ago were untrodden
by sheep are today furnishing the
pasture for bands aggregating 25,-
900, and within the next few years
the big cow ranches of the upper
Salmon river section will be convert
ed into sheep camps. This Is the
story of the invasion of sheep as told
by G. ]. Hall, who Is extensively en-
gagged in the stock business In the
Lucille section. Mr.. Hall states he is
now the owner OF considerable
hand of sheep and is changing from
cattle as rapidly as possible.
"The cattle men who eight years
ago would take the trail to fight the
invasion Of sheep are now changing
from CATTLE" said Mr.. Hall, while
discussing the change which Is now
taking place 1.-THE sheep are the
most profitable because the market
is more uniform and large areas
that have been impossible to success
fully pasture with cattle will furnish
excellent range for many times the
number of sheep now in the coun-
try. The cattle men have sustained
heavy losses each year from cattle
rolling from the steep mountain
sides, and it is this condition that
has been an important factor In adj
hitting the sheep to the Salmon riv-
er country"

The graves Of the loyal dead were
decorated In Lave View and Wood

and the parade led to the Coliseum
for the exercises there. Although
manv automobiles were proffered the
soldiers for the occasion, these In al
most all instances were declined and
the Grand Army men marched as Of

ardor and patriotism undiminished.

body is agreed that the contest can
go well over 20 rounds. The bout is
booked for 40 rounds, which means t.
