The Industrial School May be Moved

The Adventist Industrial school, A
miles south OF this city, has been really.
ing more and more each scar that
their location is bad. It is too far out,
the road from here to the School la the
worst in th., state and the proximity
lof lthe Missouri -river lis a constant
menace. For these reasons the South
DAKOTA aAdventist conference at Its
last session appointed special Locat-
ing Committee OF sixteen members
from different sections of the state TO
confer together. and reach some de-
cisiOn as TO a new location, 80 n
1 Fourteen members,of this committee
have been 10 session this week at. the
industrial school. Monday evening
Pres. Rlngsrud OF the Commercia
club called a meeting and commit tee
was appointed TO meet this locating,
committee and Tuesday afternoon the.
two committees conferred together
at the First National bank.
Yesterday the Adventist committee
was in session all day at the Academy,
but came to no definite decision.t A
proposition, however, was decided up
on and this proposition, we understa. 4, ),
will be laid before The Commercial
clubs committee this evening. i.
| The only thing that may be regarded
as decided upon is that The Industrial
School Is Gel tain to be moved from It's
presant location. If it remains here
1T will be moved nearer town and TO d
point, where more land can be obtained
for the school purposes. This will be
a move for the better. for both the
school and the town. We believe the
Locating committee and the CONNER
cial club are both strongly In fayer OF
retaining the school heie and it would
De little less than criminal to frustfate
the efforts and sacrifices OF the adven-
list people of this locality In
establishing this school here. We
trust the two interests may be
able to get together and that i,this
school may be located, during 1910
nearer town and in a commodious and
suitable place. sa \

best and ChCaIest fcc1s 10 be lad for

so slow in s. ing the advantages Of a

harvesting the corn crop where ali is

loss is at least one-tEird of the crop.
When you build a s.lO. build a good
one that is air tight. Ny silo is a

will not go astray. During the past
two years have planted my corn with
an ordinary 11-hoe grain drili. about
