FINLAND.

The destruction of the Russian navy
during the Japanese war and the great
growth in the German navy has
brought home to Russian military au-
thorities the danger Of raid on the
capital in case of war, the shores of
the gulf of Finland presenting many
places suitable for landing troops with
in a short distance of st. Petersburg.
1t has, therefore, been determined to
fringe the northern shore Of the gulf
from st. Petersburg to Viborg with a
line of Notifications, capable of de-
laying a descent while troops were
being assembled Many st. Petersburg
residents, whose summer homes line
the Finnish coast, will be dispossessed
to make room for the Notifications.
In anticipation of the Russian du-
mas early passage of the bill depriv-
ing Finland of it's liberty and reduc-
ing it to mere parliamentary district
of the cars country, the Finnish rev.
olutionists are trying to hasten the
long threatened uprising against Mus
covite rule. The climax In Russia s
encroachment upon Finland's cOnsti-
tutional rights, came few days ago,
when it was announced that the st.
Petersburg government had decided to
wait no longer for report from the
Russo Finnish commission appointed
to define the lesser countrys rights,
but to secure legislation Immediately
forming Finnish home-rule and allow
ing Finland no more than five men in
the duma. The decision is In open
violation of the treaty by which Fin.
land became a part of the Russian
empire In 1909, with the guarantee of
the right to govern itself under the
nominal sovereignty Of the ear as
grand duke of Finland

Corn Palace Prizes

Mitchell-PrOtessor j. p. Sonoerg of
Whiting, Iowa has completed his scor-
ing of the county agricultural exhibit
at the corn palace, and gave his de-
cisions to LIE corn palace comm ttee,
and on his findings awarded the prize
to the successful counties. An outside
judge was selected for the reason tina
he could show no partially .etween
the various counties. The following
are the awards and their markings on
basis of 1000 per cent: Hanson, first
953; Hyde, second, 93S; Clay, third
$50; Perkins, fourth, SIS.
The exhibits throughout the Pa are
received the highest commentator
from Mr.. Sonberg, who is an expert at
this business of judging exhibits and
In all of them he found something to
commend.
e. v. Kent, the gentleman in charge
of the Clay county exhibit, was not
satisfied with the ~ecision of third
place, holding that he should have
been given second place over Hyde
county. Mr.. l>ent filed his protest on
Wednesday evening with the commit
tee, but as Mr.. Sonberg left the city
the same evening nothing could be
done about It,
1t is understood that Clay county
would have received second place, but
for the lack of arrangement of the
products and that it was cut so points
on that basis.

State Supreme Court

Pierre-The calendar for the Octo-
Der term of the supreme court is out,
and 1t Is the shortest calendar in the
history of the court containing but
twenty-one cases, of which sixteen are
on. the criminal calendar. This shor
calendar Is caused by the ruling of the
court that no cases could be set for
argument at the october term except
criminal, preferred and rehearings.
This Is 10 allow the court from now
until the April term to clear up al
old cases which are now before them
for consideration. and to allow them
to start with clean slate" at the
April term. and to keep the calenda
clear from that time on. Such action
will allow decisions within few days
after arguments, and 1t is hoped, in
the future, prevent another situate n
as at present, with cases from one ye r
to several years behind the arguments
in the decisions.

THE STATE CORN SHOW
Corn and Grain Growers Will Meet
at Mitchell Jan. 1870

Mitchell,-It will be remembered
that the state corn show, which had
Its inception in Mitchell some three
years ago, was held in Sioux Falls last
winter, but the executive committee
decided to bring the show back to the
place where 1t was born, and conse-
quently the State Corn & Grain
Growers association will be held In
Mitchell Jan. 1920.
Wednesday afternoon a meeting of
the officers and directors was held at
the office of the Dakota Improved Seed
company, with the following present:
Peter Allen, president, of hurley; j..
w. Parmley of Ipswich, vice preside at !;
c. e. Twamley of Alexandria, secre-
tary; w. A. Wheeler of Mitchell,
treasurer; John Lekings of Hurley,
representative of the southern dis
trict; E. P. Sanf of Mitchell, represen-
tative of the central district; Isaac
Lincoln of Aberdeen, the representa-
tive of the northern district, was not
able to be present.
The corn show will get some assist
ance from the state this year, the
farmers institute board having seata
aside $500 for expenses. A large list
of prizes have been provided for and
these will include many special prizes
to be offered by agricultural imp,e
ment houses.
An effort will be made by the board
to get Professor p. G. Holden Of Iowa,
to conduct the corn school, which will
be held each of the three days. He
will probabaly be assisted by Professor
A. Wheeler OF this city, and Pro-
fessor c. Willis of the Brookings ag-
ricultural couege, as well as manay
other corn growers of the state, and
there are many men who can give
some very excellent advice which they
have secured from thir practical work
in the corn field.
The board Is making plans to pre-
sent the best school of instruction al
the corn school that has ever been
held in the state, and they would ap-
preciate the support of the farmers of
the state by sending their corn to the
show for competition, and also to at
tend the corn school and learn Of tn :
better and surer methods Of producin ,
corn and other grains. South Dakota
is showing by the corn palace that
corn can be procured in this state that
is the equal of any of the eastern
states, and this state corn show wi
be the means of increasing the yield
from the instruction impaired in the
school sessions.

Another Air Trip He Takes
Crown Prince William.

Potsdam, Germany.-Orville Wright,
the American aviator, broke his own
and all other records for high flying
He reached the unprecedented height
Of more than 1900 feet, although an
official measurement was not taken.
He had red letter day in double
sense in his experience as an aviator,
taking up Crown Prince Frederick
William as a passenger and more than
double the altitude record which he
made recently over the same field.
The crown prince had been con-
stantly urging Wright, since he first
saw the American fly, to take him up
as passenger. Wright evaded this
responsibility while making fights at
the Templehof field, owing to the I'M
favorable winds, but since the begin
ming of the flights at Bornstedte field
near Potsdam, the prince had been in
terviewing the aviator every morning,
asking him if he was ready to crafty
his request. Wright finally consented

Wright's suggestion to save his uni

the prince took his seat alongside the
aviator and the machine rose in the

Wright kept it at height of about
20 feet for brief period, but the
crown prince exclaimed: Higher,
higher"
Finally the aviator went up above
go feet and the crowds heartily
cheered the prince, who waved back
his acknowledgements. The aero
plane glided back to the starting point
ten minutes later.
The crown prince congratulated Mr..
Wright on the easy and safe motion
of the aeroplane, and presented him,
with souvenir OF the occasion,
diamond and ruby pin. composing the
letter wv" and crown. He watched
the daring aviator make his high
flight, which was also viewed by a
large multitude.
When he returned to earth, Wright
speaking Of his marvellous flight, said:
