Lutherans Most Numerous.
There are more Lutheran church
members in South Dakota than all
other Protestant denominations COM
bined. The membership CT the ever
al denominations as reported by the
religious census of this year is as fol-
lows:
45,0lS Lutherans; 49,, LAB Methodists;
$500 Congregationalist; 1855 Episco-
palians; $500 Presbeterians; 6,1ss
Baptists.
From this statement it will be seen
that there are 1872 more Lutherans in
South Dakota than Methodists, Con-
gregationalists, Episcopalians, Presby-
terians and Baptists put together.
The Lutheran churches, with a few
exceptions, are self-supporting; that
they maintain schools, hospitals and
other benevolent institutions, besides
supporting missionaries of their own
in heather lands, and contributing
large sums annually to benevolent, ed
vocational and charitable institutions
of different kinds at home and abroad.

How High Must an Aeronaut Go to

How high an aviator must fly to be
safe from the consequences of Illegal

tons not burning now were treated
by Lyttleton Fox. Il lawyer, in an ad-
dress to members of the Aero Club of
America in New York. The answer
was that the aviator would have to be

ruinously congested. AS matters stand,
here having been no changes in the

The question is how best to bring the
attention of the judicial system to this
Unfair discrimination against the Gy-
ing portion of the race. No man can
fly as things now stand without tech
nically breaking the law unless he gets
special privileges from the landowners.

the Aero club should urge the Wright
brothers, for instance, to consent to he

they have flown (and thereby tres

The suit should be Il friendly one, he
said. the object being to modify. if pos
sible. the law of aerial trespass. An
other way might be to condemn the
air by legal procedure and thus knock
over the historical fossil.
y discussion that followed the adj
dress of the evening resulted in the
members arriving at the firm belief
that the air should be considered Il
highway, and there was preliminary
talk concerning an attempt at legisla-

supplies Needed Discipline For Youth,
Says Authority on Game.
The physical and mental develop
ment produced in the individual player
is not all that may be cited in its sup
port. Those who look beneath the sur
face find in football in the United
States something to supply that lack
of rigid discipline for which the Amer
lean youth. except possibly at West
Point and Annapolis, suffer in COM
pariSOn with those of other peoples.
Not only does the rigid training estab-
fish self control in those who play. but
the game holds up standard of dis
cipline to those who observe it, And
1t must be admitted that this side of
the argument is a strong one. while
the fact that II offers almost the ideal
measure of effort followed by immedi-
ate relaxation renders it far less a tax
on the vital organs than the majority
OF our contests. As it involves per-

Rising Sun last Saturday on road in
spection trip. The experimental mile of
road building at Oakwood by the State
Commission will be finished in one more
week and will cost less than $1,000. As
the lowest bid on this piece of work, by
contract, was $4,000, saving of over
$1,000 has been affected besides giving
employment to sixty Cecil countains. AS
soon as this piece is finished, work will be
commenced at the town limits on the
Rising Sun-Calvert road.

Gnats Break Up Festival.

The festival held in Balderston's
meadow, on Saturday evening, by the
Colora Red Men, drew a>big crowd, but
was literally broken up by the swarms of
gnats that infested the place. People
were compelled to resort to handkerchiefs
and newspapers placed over faces and
heads to combat, in a measure, the little
pests, the greater paft of the crowd leav-
ing in disgust after an Intellectual attempt
to fight them off. The meadow has been
used for years as a dumping place for
peelings and other offal from the tomato
canneries at Colora, and to this fact is
attributed the visitation, the gnats being
attracted from their breeding place by the
lights from the torches.
About twenty dollars was the sum
cleared The Rising Sun Cornet Band
was present and rendered numerous
selections, the musicians while playing,
having their trials with the gnats swarm
ing in their faces. But the walters behind
the tables, within the circle of lights, were
the worst beset, as it was impossible for
them to leave their posts to escape
momentarily from the pests.

urday afternoon, when the old board of
directors was reelected as follows: A. I.

Chas. Shippers, T. B. Miller, VIM. T.

board organized by electing A. ]. Mich
ener president, and E. D. Carhart, sec.
and treas.
The Directors report represented the
Association to be in fourishing con-
dition, having policies in force to the
amount of $4,652,s42, distributed among
22I4 members, all in Cecil county
The losses during the year amount to
$4Io7.45, caused by 2I different fires and
damages by lightning.
The Treasurer's report showed receipts
of over $I4, 900 from all sources, and dis
bursements of over So, 500, losses not due
and unpaid $2o5o
The management is conservative and
the comparatively small number of losses
is due in no small manner to the care ex-
ercised in writing risks, and seeing that
proper care to avoid fires is taken by the
members.

Nearly smothered In Wheat Bin.

Edgar Davis Lusby, aged ten years,
son of James Lusby, near Cecilton,
narrowly escaped being suffocated in
wheat bin one day last week. The little
fellow had slipped away from the house
and was playing in the bin from which
the wheat was running down shute to
fan on the floor below. He was drawn
into the wheat SO far he could not extri-
cate himself, but was able to call for help
before he was covered up. His cries were
heard, the fan stopped and the men sue
ceeded in digging the child out with
shovels and rescuing him in an uncon-
scious condition. The lad soon revived
but his escape from death was narrow
one.

STANDING OF THE CLUBS.

Schedule for Saturday, August ELK
Mills at Rising Sun; North East at Elkton
Perryville at Chesapeake City.
The game at North East on Saturday
between the team of that place and Rising
Sun, proved an exciting contest, with a
very unsatisfactory ending. With the
score tie in the ninth inning, the visitors
had scored three runs in the tenth, when
North East began their half of the inning
the first man up striking out. At this
juncture the North East boys claimed it
would be impossible to finish the inning,
as it was time for the visiting players to
catch their train, and left the field.
The umpire does not appear to have
awarded any decision, but tamely sub
mitted to the bullying of pitcher Wilson,
of the North East team, who rendered
himself open to expulsion from the game
at the very beginning, and continued to
make himself Objectionable throughout.
We have been unable to learn what final
disposition will be made, but protest
has been filed by Manager Snyder, who
claims North East was not only beaten
but forfeited the game by refusing to con-
tinue to play, and leaving the field. The
appended score is of the game as played.
