BAND SOCIAL A BIG
SUCCESS

The social on DR.. Clay's lawn is {
thing of the past but there will liv'
long in the memories of those in at
tendance the unique modes Of enter
tainment and the mirth provoking
features on every hand. Never be.
fore have the people of Malta had the
pleasure of seeing such an interesting
Too" Altho exposed to many dan
gers Edw. White acted as brave
keeper of tie ferocious beasts and
VIM. Mcclellan made an effort to APP
pease their hunger, while George
Chambers, Jr., announced to the as
tonished crowds the names of the
animals and history of each, even to
the mountain lion that Phil. Casel-
berg didn't kill,
Mrs. Edw. White as a gypsy for
tune teller was a revelation and
practiced all the wiles of a clarvoy-
ant SO artfully as to win great favor
with. the lovesick youths and fair
damsels, and some that were not
lovesick. Misses Annie Survant and
Helen Schilings as flower girls were
a pleasing feature of the social and
exhibited rare ability in selling their
bouquets.
The fishing pond conducted by
Miss Peck was we'll patronized and
the specimens. caught were very
rare.
The lawn presented a very pictur-
esque appearance. The band dis
pensing sweet strains of music from
the upper veranda Of the house, the
many swaying Chinese lanterns, the
white tents cleaning in the yellow
harvest moon, the happy voices, the
pretty costumes all were suggestive of
some festal night in an oriental
villa.
Financially a great success, the
band bows may speak of the social on
DR.. Clay's lawn with pride, for was
not its proceeds an appreciation OF
their good work done since organiza
ton?

PRIZES IN GOLD

James J. Hill, chairman Of the
board Of the Great Northern, has
offered -, 500 in gold as prizes to be
awarded for the best grains and
grasses grown in the territory along
his lines to be exhibited at the Nat
ional Corn Exposition in Omaha De-
cember 6 to IS.

prizes dy Prof. c. +. Bull of the
Minnesota Agricultural College and
Prof. ThOs. Shaw of the Dakota Far
mer.
There will be about 40 first prizes
for heat, oats, barley, corn, clover,
timothy and alfalfa hay, as well as
prizes for speltZ and field peas.
Details of the contest Will be sup
piled by the exposition at Omaha
within few days and farmers in
tending to win some of the Hill mon
ey, should save samples of small
grain in bundles as well as the peck
sanples of grain.

Mr.. Hill will arrange to assist the
farmers in getting their exhibits to

tural states, but simply among them
selves as the contest for Mr.. Hills
prizes will be open only to those liv-
ing along the Great Northern lines.

peting for the Hill prizes. the exhib-
itors msy also win some of the regu-
lar prizes.

SEARCHING FOR MISSING ONE
Mrs. Oakley of Manchester Fears
Son Has Been Victim of Foui
Play in the Hills.

Mrs. c. d. Oakley of Manchester,
Iowa, was in the city a few days,
searching for her son, Clyde A. Gui-
hen, whom she had heard nothing of
since last December. The last heard
of him he was at Oneida where he
was working OF a farm. He had a
claim which he intended to live on
and soon prove up. He had $500 in a
bank at Oneida which he transferred
to this city. He left the farm there
but did not take his clothes, and his
mother fears he has been done away
with in some manner.
Investigation disclosed the money
transferred here has been checked out
in small amounts until only a small
sum remains. Besides the deposit he
is supposed to have had some $500
and to have had an offer of $500 for
the REIMBURSEMENT of his claim.
The mother first visited Oneida and
there learned her son had gone and
that he had spoken of going to the
Hills. She came to Rapid City and
found her son had made the transfer
of his bank deposit and that the last
time money had been drawn was July
%, through Belle Fourche. She Wis
tied Belle Fourche but inquiry there
developed nothing. 1t isstated there
are several things which give rise to
apprehensions of foul play, and that
if she does not hear from him in a
short time she will place the matter
in the hands of detectives to ferret
out.
Clyde Guiher is described as a young
man nearly 26 years of age, standing
six feet tall, weighing about $50
pounds, has brown eyes and light
hair.
Efforts are being made to secure a
description of the party who made
the transfer of bank funds from One
ida to Rapid City last December.

AN EFFORT is being put forth
by T. Fell Of Lead, president of
the Associated School Boards
Of South Dakota, to have a full
attendance of representatives at
the annual meeting to be held
in Lead IN November. Many
matters of Importance entering
into the work devolvent on
boards will be discussed and a
program of interest has been
framed up. 1t is the intention
of the meeting to devise some
plan by which the schools of
the state may be conducted with
the minimum Of expense to Sc
cure the greatest benefit. 1t is
not intended to cut down allow
ances for the schools but to cut
off as many wild isms and ex-
penditures as possible, devotlng
the money, time and energies
to making the schools more SER
viceable in fitting the scholar
for the realities of life when
school days are ended. On this
account several important top
les will be discussed at this
meeting and every board should
be represented.

more money each year, and be-
sidesthe grade of stock kept will
he increased. The small farm
will raise the standard of farm
life, make it more sought by
the rising generation, and pro-
duce a country freer Of obnox-
ious conditions and vegetable
growth. In fact the small farm
requires intensive cultivation,
and intensive cultivation kills
weeds, encourages plant growth
and keeps the soil in proper
condition to absorb NATURES
fertilizers from the atmosphere
-dews and rains that fall on
the earth and are sent here for
the purpose of enlivening the
impoverished soil.
Socially, the real difference
between the large and small
farm must be considered-the
difference between one man
owning $40 acres and sixteen
men owning the same amount.
The small farm means settle
ment Of the country, increasing
the consumption Of products,
raise of prices for everything
produced and a more suitable
social status, dissipating the
loneliness Of isolation. Pen
nington county is changing,
and the past year has witnessed
many new homes where cattle
grazed for years. All of which
means much to the country and
will be realizes by all classes of
trade as well as by the tillers Of
the soil themselves.

The mayoro of Marengo, Iowa,
was removed from office last
week for being intoxicated.
The pronouncement was made
by Judge Preston of Oskaloosa
under the new law. The court
listened to evidence on both
sides and found the mayor had
so far forgotten himself and the
dignity Of his Office that he was
not a fit person to preside as
chief executive of the city. To-
wa and South Dakota legisla-
lures passed identical laws for
removal Of officials for cause at
the last sessions. The Maren-
go case is the first to be taken
under the new provision. While
the law has been scoffed at by
its enemies, it is of the proper
sort and should be enforced.

sets in with a fog or dry haze. which
sometimes conceals the sun for whole

withered as though 1t had been scared

v SMALL FARMERS.

Small farms possess many
advantages over large holdings
and for the capital invested pay
much larger dividends, says the
Chicago Drovers' Journal.
Commenting upon the chang
ing conditions of realty hold
ers, that paper ventures the as
sertion that 1'the owner Of a
small farm does not envy the
large holder who becomes q
slave to his broad acres" 1t
has been the consuming desire
of those who engage in hus-
bandry to own too much land
and in a way become land poor
by holding more than they can
make productive to advantage.
This condition, however, exists
moro particularly in strictly ag-
ricultural communities further
east. In substantiation of this
contention the Journal argues
that "although a man may have
the resources to buy a large
farm, unless he has the capital
to properly equip it he finds his
broad acres an improbable in
vestment." In other words, to
realize the greatest possibilities
out Of a farm it must be equip
ped with with proper appoint
ments and stocked with i'm
proved breeds Of animals. It
therefore takes more than those
acres to make a good farm, and
if the holders capital is invest
ed entirely in land he is land
poor because he has found HIM
self unable to equip it in a man
ner to make each acre produce
what it should. In days gone
BY stock raising was the chief
effort Of the ranchman (farm-
err Of this section, but chang
ing conditions are forcing the
industry to a smaller scale, the
large range is passing from ex-
istence. In its place the small
farm is finding favor, especial
yby those who have come here
later, secured quarter sections
and are devoting time to expe-
rimental work of producing
crops, combining agriculture
and stock raising as sources of
revenue. The small farm con-
templates more work than Civ
