PLAN CITY BEAUTIFUL.
$50 Women Will Make Summers Cam
paiqn Against Weeds and Dirt.

One hundred and fifty women,
members of the civic federation, met
in the Business Mems union rooms
at Watertown and laid plans for the
summers campaign against dirt and
weeds. "Watertown Beautiful is
their watch word, and they intend to
realize their ambition this summer in
having the most beautiful city in the
state, Their plans have been worked
out to the minutest detail, and every
contingency is provided for.
Nearly every block in the city will
have its overseer to direct the work
of cleaning, tree trimming, flower
planting. weed killing, grass moving
and artistic house painting. The po-
lice and street commissioners forces
are placed at the disposal of the fed
Grafton when needed to carry out their
desires. A number of the streets are
to he b~oulevarded; trees planted on
vacant lots and property owned by
non-residents until every walk In the
city will be well shaded.
Innumerable prizes are to be hung
up for the children who assist in the
work, and bushels of flower seeds will
be distributed later on. A gigantic
war is to be waged an the dandelion,
which doubtless alone will call out
all the reserves.

Two Hundred Parade When Principal
is Not Elected Superintendent.
The resignation of two school off,
Gals, and a division of opinion on
the action of the board of education
In electing a Pierre pedagogue to fill
one OF the positions is causing no end
of comment in Aberdeen. The high
school boys to the number of 200 pa
raded the streets in a demonstration
to register their disapproval of the
appointment. A few days ago w. l..
Cochrane, city superintendent OF
schools, resigned. Among the candi-
dates for the position was w. p. Dun.
levy Of Pierre and r. l.. Kirk, the lat
ter principal of the Aberdeen high
school. Kirk resigned, and his appli.
cation for Cochrane's position was
considered with those of others.
When the board met to elect a new
city superintendent several citizens
appeared in behalf of Kirk, but on a
vote the board acted upon the recon-
mendation of the teachers commit
tee and elected Prof. Dunlevy, the
vote standing 5 to 3.

HEAR KICKS ON RATES.
Railway Commissioners Give Ear to
Complaints.

Chairman d. H. Smith and George
Rice OF the railway commission held
a hearing at Fort Pierre to hear com.
plants Of shippers west of the Mis-
souri, river regarding freight rates in
that part Of the state. Shippers on
their representatives from points
along both the Northwestern line and
the Milwaukee line were present to
voice their grievances. General Man
ager A. c. Johnson of the Pierre, Rap
I'd City & Northwestern road at the
close Of the hearing made a short
statement as to the position of the
road on the complaints presented.
Alvin Wagner appeared for the bust
ness men of Philip. and his principal
statements were of excessive freight
charges on merchandise and emigrant
goods at Philip.
r. ]. Hadden of Quinn cited n
shipper who had paid $40 freight on
a car from Des Moines to Quinn, was
obliged to pay s44 more at Pierre be-
fore he was allowed to cross the river,
and $2S more before ne was allowed
to unload. He thought that a railroad
when it had received money for a spe-
cific service, and had receipted fer the
same, should be required to complete
the service just as an individual
would. He also declared that the
charges for freight on a car of wire
and nails from Chicago to Quinn was
5000 more than the charge for such a
car from Chicago to Mitchell.
j. H. Hunt of Murdo appeared for
shippers on the Milwaukee road, and
presented freight receipts to show
that that road had increased rates
from Is to 100 per CEN on the same
class of goods within the last year, the
bills presented being by periods Of
about three months, each showing an
advance over the previous three
months.

PETITIONS FLOOD STATE.
Sisners for Candidates Must Use eau.
ton to Avoid Breaking Law.

The candidate or his friends with
their petitions will be much in evil
dence in this state for the next six
or seven weeks. 1t is now the open
season for that class of work, the
primary being on the 9th of June. No
petition can be signed until within
three months of that date. and the
signatures must be in and the petit
tons filed not later than six weeks
prior to that date, closing the polls"
for the filing of petitions on April 27.
Every signature or these petitions
must be either in ink or with indelli-
BILE pencil. and when a voter signs he
must date the time of signing to
show that no n has started out be-
fore the "open season. began.
The voter needs to have care that
he does not u foul of the law. If
it is customary for many voters to
sign any petition presented to them,
rather than make the circular or feel
that they are not friendly to him, but
to sign more than one petition for n
n office is now a misdemeanor, and
when the voter has signed the petition
OF one man for any particular place
he must be careful that he does not
sign the petition of any other for the
same place or he may meet trouble
in the road.

HARD 70 REFEREE COUNTY FAIR
Petitioners Turn Coat Too Many
Times, County Board Says.

.
For more than Ave weeks the board
of county commissioners Of Gregory
county has been engaged in the work
Of examining the petitions filed by
Herrick and Burke, two rival towns
who seek to wrest the county seat
from Fairfax, the present county CAPT
tai.
Under the law 1t is necessary for
the county commissioners to make a
selection of the town which shall be
placed upon the ballot as the contest
ant of the county seat town, the name
of only n contestant being permit
ted upon the ballot. The selection is
dependent upon which town can pro-
duce a petition with the signature OF
the largest number of bona fide resi-
dents and voters of the county. Soon
the county seat fight was inaugurated
in Gregory county the p%artisans Of
both Herrick and Burke circulated
petitions and each secured a large
number of signatures.
What has made the work of the
county commissioners so arduous Is
the fact that the partisans of me
town have been able to induce signers
of the rival towns petition to with
draw their names from the petition
originally signed and attach their sig
natures to the petition of the other
town. This has been the case in mum
berless instances, so far as both
Burke and Herrick have been con-
cerned.
Members of the board have nearly
lost patience. They state that they
have reviewed the same names in
striving to arrive at the wish of the
people as many as seven times, the
signers first attaching their sigma
lures to the petition of one of the
towns and then withdrawing and sign
ing the petition of the rival town and
continuing this practice almost every
day.
Rather than be in session all spring
and summe the board finally decided
that after Monday of this week it
would ignore any new petitions or
Withdrawals that may be filed, and
will render a decision on the basis
of those who had signed n petition
or the other prior to hat time. In
view of this it is probable the board
will conclude it's task this week and
select either Herrick or Burke as the
town to make the race against Fair
fax.

HAPPY OLD G
Most Likely to Follow Proper Eating.


AS old age advances, we require less
food to replace waste, and food that
will not overtax the digestive organs,
while supplying true n~ourishment.
Such an ideal food Is found In Grape
Nuts, made of whole wheat and barley
by long baking and action of d~iastase
In the barley which changes the starch
into sugar.
The phosphates also, placed up un-
der the bran-coat of the wheat, are In
cluded In Grape-Nuts, but left out of
white flour. They are necessary to
the building of brain and nerve cells.

Iowa man, for s years and feel as good

WATERFOWL HARD PRESSED.
School Improvement Is Hampered by
Charter Terms.

SfidIbCI TIC
WATERFOWL needs $4,000 for a new
ward school building and an annex to
the high school building, but the
school board finds itself in a perpleX.
ing situation, for under the city char
ter it cannot borrow a cent beyond
what it already has had. The city
of Watertown is organized under a
special charter dating back to old ter
ritorial days, by which its whole in
debtedness Is limited to $4,000. This
limit is exceeded already by nearly
$4,000. The levy for school purposes
is limited to IL IL mills, which OF
the valuation of $1,650,000 would
bring only about $4,000, and this al.
ready is exhausted in the debt OF the
present high school structure. The
proposition to disband and ,eincorpor-
ate under the state laws which will
allow a 25-mill levy for school pur.
poses was voted down last spring by
the taxpayers. So there is little pros
pect of getting the money, and new
school facilities are al absolute ne.
cessity. The present buildings are
overcrowded by $50 more pupils than
they were ever intended to accommo-
date, and the school population is In
creasing $50 every year.

WESTERN CANADA CROPS
CANNOT Be CHECKED.
OATS YIELDED 90 BUSHELS TO
THE ACRE.

The following letter written the Do
minion Government Commissioner Of
Emigration speaks for itself. 1t proves
the story of the Agents of the Gov
eminent that on the free homesteads
offered by the Government it is pos
sible TO become comfortably well OF
In a few years:
Regina, Sask. 23rd Nov, 1907.
Commissioner Of immigration,
Winnipeg.
Dear Sir:
1t is with pleasure that l reply to
your request. Some years ago | took
up q homestead for myself and also
one for my son. The half section
which we own Is situated between
Rouleau and ~Drinkwater, adjoining
the Moose Jaw creek, is a low level
and heavy land. We put in 20 acres OF
wheat in stubble, which went 20 BUSH
els to the acre, and 80 acres of sum-
mer fallow, which went % bushels to
the acre. All the wheat we harvested
this year is No. 1 hard. That means
the best wheat that a be raised on
the earth. Wedidn not sell any wheat yet
as we intend to keep one part for
our own seed, and sell the other part
to people who want f1rst-cIass seed,
for there is no doubt II you SOW good
wheat you will harvest good wheat.
We also threshed 5000 bushels OF
irst-class oats out of 160 acres. 80
acres has been fall blowing which
yielded 80 bushels per acre, and 80
acres stubble, which went 30 bushels
to the acre. These oats are
the best kind that a be
raised. We have shipped three a
loads of them. and got 81 cents per
bushel clear. All our grain was cut
In the last week of the month Of
August before any frost could touch
1t.
Notwithstanding the fact that we
have had a late spring, and that the
weather conditions this year were
very adverse and unfavorable, we will
make more money out OF our crop
this year than last.
For myself feel compelled to say
that Western Canada crops cannot be
checked, sven by unusual conditions.
/ am, dear sir,
Yours truly,
(Signed) A. Kaltenbrunner.

LARGEST BATH IN THE WoRLr
Swimming Pool Near London, Eng.
Opened, Holds 1850, 900 Gallons.

Swimming Pool Near London, Eng,
Opened, Holds 100000 Gallons.
The biggest swimming pool in the
world has just been officially put In
commission at footing Bee Common,
England. 1t Is 300 feet in length and
is SO feet wide. With a capacity Of
100000 gallons of water it is so ar
ranged that $4,000 gallons can be
pumped into it daily, thereby insuring
a partial flow all the time. BY this
plan it will not be necessary to clean
the bath more than once a year. To
empty the bath and refill 1t means an
expenditure Of $500. The depth Of the
pool is 6 feet 6 inches. 1t has no COW
ering overhead, but all around there
is ample accommodation for spec
tators.
The work Of construction was begun
about a year and a half ago. and was
so far advanced last fall that it was
used for general purposes. The fix
lures, of course, were only in a rough
state; nevertheless about three thou
sand persons visited the big pool ev-
cry day for their dip. One day In the
week is set aside for women, and on
these days the bath Is taxed to its full
est. There Is no admission charge.
In spite Of the large number of bath
ers no fatality has SO far occurred, but
the bath attendants have rescued thir-
teen persons, and they received the
Royal Humane society medal last year
for saving two persons from the deep
end. The bath Is situated In the most
picturesque part Of the common.
