INTEREST IN HOMECOMING.

The Dakota homecoming and cele-
bration of the twentieth anniversary
of statehood for North and South Da-
kota, according TO reports received
by T. b. Roberts, the secretary, bids
fair to be the largest and best meeting
Of the kind ever held in the North
west, Not only are the old settlers
getting interested, but those who
came into the two states after state
hood, are promising TO be present and
help celebrate the twentieth anniver-
sary. IL is TO be a Joint celebration
and a citizen who may have resided
in the Dakotas but a month will be
warmly welcomed. The railroads
have promised a cheap rate, which
will be announced later, and the citi,
zens of Aberdeen will allow nothing
to stand in the way of presenting
suitable entertainment for the guests
who may be in the city. The impress
sion seems to be hat this is purely
an Aberdeen gathering. This is not
true. The thought of the "Homecom-
ing did not originate in Aberdeen,
but was thought out by outside par
ties and Aberdeen selected because
of its accessibility to the greatest
number in North and South Dakota.
If you were a resident of the territory
of Dakota, no matter where you lived,
YOU will meet your old friends if you
come to Aberdeen June 1918. Don't
forget the dates.-Aberdeen Daily
News.

Nebraska, where the alfalfa belt and
the corn belt merge, only the blue
stem and buffalo grass waved OF the
unbroken plain. These were the days
Of the cowboys glory, even up to ff-
teen years ago when the gradual tran
sition began.
Vast herds of Texas l~onghorns,
ranging northward from the breeding
grounds of the south, passed in count
less procession like the great army of
Napoleon marching across the step
pes OF Russia. The squatter from
his sod house door beheld at dawn
the vanguard of these mammoth
herds ~darkening the plains. At night
he saw the sun dip below the prairie's
rim and still the stragglers came.
In Nebraska the cattle men "cut
out" their stockerS for fattening and
drove them north, for, although the
south was an ideal place for the herds
to reproduce. the Nebraska grass was
not f~attening like that of South Da-
kota. SO the cowboys started the
herds north early in the spring and
the gigantic migrations were begun
which we're to end in the killing pens
of the Sioux City stock yards. All
through South Dakota, cropping the
succulent grass, the great herds
wandered. Here was a nations meat
on foot, tramping, tramping, to fat
ness and the slaughter.
They ranged as far north as North
Dakota, followed by the cowboys and
the chuck wagons. until fall found
them fat, sleek and surfeited of the
rich prairie grasses. Then they were
rounded up, counted and headed for
the shambles. This was the day Of
beef in the abstract.
When men of the cattle outfit want
ed meat they slaughtered a yearling,
cooked the best cuts and left the rest
for the wolves. Cattle were every
where but not a drop of milk or a
pound of butter could have been
bought at any price. 1t was a day of
magnificent w~astefulness. The by

DUTIES OF SUPERINTENDENT.

+. l.. Ransom, in the South Dakota
Educator, tells of the duties of the
county superintendent as follows:
The giving of teachers eXamina-
tons is not Il supervising function,
neither is the taking of the school
census nor the making of an annual
report. nor the appointment of new
officers. nor the hiding of teachers
TO supply the schools, nor the eXamina-
ton OF books of the school clerks and
t~reasurers. nor the distribution of ap-
portionment money TO the several
school districts. These are the func-
tons of clerks, b~ookkeepers, lawyers,
school district officers, politicians and
county t~reasurers.
II is true that under our laws they
are duties of the superintendent, but
in themselves. they are not function
al duties. The legislature has seen
tit from time TO time to put upon the
Office these tasks, not seeing any other
office to which they could be attached
with greater appropriateness. A good
example of this is e in the legis-
lative action Of 1907. by which the
county superintendent was made a
truant officer, a virtual police oficer,
for all pupils living in the county out
side the towns. So much has. in this
manner. been placed upon the coun
~ superintendent, that these now
functional duties. the duties which be-
long to the ONCE only because OF
the action Of the legislature. have
almost wholly displaced the real du'
ties which call for a supervising on
Ger. Is it not time that greater &C
count be made OF real supervision OF
country schools? The duties that are
constantly being forced upon the sup
e~rintendent should not crowd out the
more important, but legislat!vely un'
defined obligations of school suIer-
vision.

OF DAKOTA.

Among the geat uplifting forces in
South Dakota is the Methodist Episco-
pal church, a pioneer in the eVangeil-
cal movements in every community.
The Methodist Episcopal Year Book
of 1908 gives the annual report OF the
church. Within the bounds OF the Da-
| kota conference last of the Missouri
river, and some extension work be
yond, but exclusive Of the Black Hills
mission, the following facts are shown:
Last year l43 ministers and ) dis
trict superintendent, with ii TO II
others in detached work, represented
the ministerial forces of the Dakota
conference.
The total membership OF the church
is 1859 and Of the Sunday schools
1898. For benevolent causes the
church has contributed over $4,000
of which over sl2, 900 a contributed
to foreign missions and nearly $1,000
for home missions.
To the 143 ministers in charge OF
pastoral appointments, $4,000 in
Guiding house rent, was paid. The
district superintendent receive only
about $4,000 each. with no allowance
for house rent or travelling expenses
on the district.
There are l25 ministers, members
of the conference, and "a probation
ers. Several local preachers are used
to supply charges in the capacity OF
pastors. To the 90 conference claim
ants, whether a retired preacher or
widow with or without dependent
children was paid the average amount
Of $40 each.
The Dakota conference has a secre-
tary in the field who is seeking 10
raise all endowment fund OF 100000
to further augment the amount an
~nually paid to conference claimants.
Fourteen preachers are on the hon
orary list as veterans on the super
Iannuated roll.
Eleven of the members Of the con
ference are on account OF health, or
other valid reasons, not taking work
this year. The Rev. T. H. Walker, an
honored veteran Of the conference,
passed to his reward at e years Of
age.
In the conference bounds there are
1876 churches and 116 p~arsonages,
which have a total valuation OF over
5000. 900.
During the year the most conspicu-
Gus church ediice was erected at
Mitchell, costing $4,000, and a new
sec, 900 church is in course Of erection
at Aberdeen.
In all, the year has been one Of
progress in nearly every department.

proportions during these ten years.
Neither place has had a saloon with

the saloon from either place antedates
that period by a number of years.
Yet they are both flourishiug COM
munities, and the saloon has not con
tributed to their growth one iota.
Both in the matter of business Struc-
lures and an increase of population
have those towns kept pace proper
t~ionately with any and all cities of
the state. The growth in any case
is due much to the hustling qualities
of the citizens. These towns might
have had saloons and without the
earnest work of its people have made
even less progress.-Mitchell Republi-

CONDITIONS HAVE CHANGED.

Much has been written about the
cattle industry in the west, where the
nations meat is supposed to come
from. Almost invariably men have
less herds of longhorns and TO the ro-
matte, wasteful methods once in
vogue, but little has ever been told of
the tremendous change that has come
over what was once the range coun-
try.
The westward press of settlers, the
coming of railroads, have taken the
poetry and romances out OF the cat
tie business, but the prose is left and
it Is fuller OF meat than ever The
cowboy with his buckskin breeches
and his branding iron have gone to
sleep except In the extreme south
west. and in his place the small farm
er with his limited range. his scien-
tihc methods Is supplying the nation
and lands acros the sea with more
and better meat. The old-timer knew
his cattle by his brand; the new farm
ar knows about every steer by sight.
Everyone gets special care and atten-
ton; none Is ever lost. The waste
futness and abandon OF which men
have written so much are gone.
