p. P. Sand, a farmer living near
Mitchell, has been following scien-
tific methods of breeding up his
seed corn, and Judging from the
premiums taken at the recent corn
show in Sioux Falls the result must
be very satisfactory. Following
are the premiums taken:
Grand sweepstakes prize for 10
ears of yellow dent corn, John
Deere corn planter, valued at $45.
Sweepstakes prize in the central
district, of 10 ears of yellow dent
corn, Reliance grinder with horse
power attached, valued at $50.
Best 10 ears of yellow dent corn,
first prize a Kirk weeder, valued at
$25. He also received Star Cab
met seed tester for the best ten
ears of the same variety, valued at
$25.
For the best single ear of dent
corn of any color, Mr.. Sand re-
ceived second prize of stationery
to the value of $5.

permitted to enter this state whose
rates are not at least equal to the
rates prescribed by the Fraternal
Congress and that such fraternal
organizations now doing business
in the state be given certain time
to adjust their rates.
There are various kinds Of fra
ternal life insurance, some COM
panies simply assessing their mem
bers to pay death losses as they
occur; others making a higher
assessment than needed in order
to provide for reserve fund; while
others scale the policy of a mem
her who dies before he has been in
the order specified time. Of
course these different methods Of
operation necessitate different rates
of assessment and it is unjust to
force them to adopt a uniform
rate. For instance the average
age of the members of the Modern
Woodmen is 80 years. At this age
the annual cost of insurance is on
ly $3.50 per $1,000. At this age
the rate established by the National
Fraternal Congress, that the gov
ernor recommends, would be
$40. 1l-nearly three times the
present cost. There are 10000
Woodmen in South Dakota and we
believe that this will mean 10000
protests against such a law.
There will also be some opposi-
ton to his suggestion that an in-
ebriate asylum be established in
the state, and that one half of all
money received from saloon licens-
es go to the state for the support
of this asylum. 1t might not be
bad plan to have an institution of
that kind established, but we ap-
prehend that the list of patients
who would voluntarily go to it for
treatment would be comparatively
small, and an appropriation such
as the governor suggests would be
out of proportion to the needs.

have the president assume the role

no more right to interfere in the

congress to dictate who shall COM

That is a matter for the house to

The South Dakota legislature as
sembled at Pierre on Tuesday Of
this week when the organization of
the two houses was perfected, after
which the messages of Retiring
Governor Crawford and of Govern
or Vessey were read. The officers
of the senate are: President pro

M. Simons; first assistant, Ros-
coe Mercer; second assistant, G.
j. Boone. Officers of the house !:
Speaker, NJ. j. CLANCY; chief

H. E. VanCamp; second assistant,
HI. Burden.
In his message Gov. Vessey urg-
es the legislature to faithfully full
fill all pledges made by the repub-
lican party in its platform, and Of
fers some good suggestions regard
ing the legislation required. In
the matter of appropriations his
recommendations are sound and
business like. He urges liberal
support of educational institutions,
but says there is not now any
pressing need for much further
building, and recommends that ex-
penditures in this direction be
carefully restricted
He recommends law authoriz-
ing state repositories for public
funds, and the interest paid by
these repositories to go to the state.
This is good if properly safeguard

deposits but makes no suggestions
regarding the nature of such law.

that kind have often been intro

Rub over with chamois skin wrung
out of warm water, then wipe with a
dry chamois skin.
To Extract Juice from Onion-Cut
a slice from the root end, then press
the onion in a rotary motion on a
coarse crater near the groove so that
the juice may run down the groove.
To Blanch Almonds.-Cover with
boiling water and let boil one minute;
turn off the water and cover with cold
water, which shrinks the skin so that
they may be easily blanched by rub
bling in towel. Do not let them
remain in the water or they will be-
come soaked and tasteless.

Origin Of windfa,l.

What precisely is the origin Of the
expression "a windfall" which Mr..
Asquith, Lord Avebury and others use,
each with an application of his own,
In speaking Of budget matters? An
old encyclopedia explains that some
families Of the English nobility held
their land on a tenure which forbade
them to cut down trees, these being
reserved as the property of the royal
navy. But any tree which fell down
without human assistance they might
keep. SO that hurricane causing q
great 'windfall. was heartily welcome.
1t seems probable, however, that the
expression was simpler in origin.
