FINISHED THE CELEBRATION
Banquet and an Evening of Music and
Dancing Closed the Odd Fellows
Big Day.

The laying of the corner stone of
the Odd Fellows building Monday
afternoon completed only a portion
of the features of the day. When
the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs re-
turned to the hall the ladies ON
menced at once to prepare for the
banquet, which has always been serv-
ed on the anniversary of the found
ing of both the order and the local
lodge, each coming on the same date.
With the cornerstone laying it made
it sort of a triple feature for the en-
tire day.
Three or four tables We're spread
in the lodge room, and the proven
der was placed in the dining room
proper, which was too small to ac-
commodate the guests. The Rebek-
abs seved a splendid menu, and
there was plenty to spare. The lad
les are noted for their splendid hos
pitality in affairs of this kind and
they make every effort to see that
none is neglected. Over 800 hundred
partook of the banquet. Some of the
Odd Fellows lent a willing hand to
help the ladies in the work. Good
cheer and happiness were in
abundance.
After the banquet IA served the
tables We're removed, and the mem
bers of both orders were highly en-
tertained by a concert program,
which was ably rendered by Jeffers'
and his orchestra. The music was
heartily %applauded and the orchestra
vas very generous.
The latter part of the evening was
devoted to dancing and at a late
hour the guests wendell their way
homeward, highly pleased with the
success of the day, and the pro-
gress that the lodge is making.
Quite a few friends from surround
ing towns were present to enjoy the
festivities of the occasion.

an outing

shouldn't he be entitled to an outing
of this kind!
l venture to say that the farmer
who will assist his boys in getting
some recreation and enjoyment out
Of life will assist materially in solv-
ing the problem of how to keep the
boys on the farm. He will also get
better results from their work and
for such investment will receive ex-
cellent returns.
A splendid program is being pre-
pared. Prof. P. G. Holden of the State
College Of Agriculture at Ames, Ia,
the well-known lecturer on farm top
les will speak on both days and will
be ably assisted by the different in
structors at the college.
Kindly advertise this excursion
and try to enlist the cooperation of
the Press and the public in general.
They will be glad to assist if their
interest is aroused.
We ought to bring $4,000 boys to
Brookings. If this car be done 1
feel that it will result in much good
for the upbuilding and betterment
of the life on the farm.
Yours very truly,

ExcusIHG THE CHILDREN
Asking Children to be Excused From
School is Rctarding the Work
OF the Schools.

To Parents and Guardians of School
Pupils:
During the past few weeks the
teachers have been receiving many
requests from parents to have pupils
excused from school.
Each day a number of students in
the high school bring Gus from
parents asking that said students be
excused for the remainder Of the
day.
ENcusing students from school in
this way has a very bad effect on both
the student excused and his class.
Very few students will study dur
ing the day time when not in the
school rooms, thus their lessons are
not prepared and they hinder the
Work Of the class as we'll as them
selves. They lose interest in the
school work, fall in the years work
and fall out of school.
Al the present time their school
work is their business and by re.
questing them to be excused you
teach them to neglect their business
and 20 form a habit that will be detri-
mental to them during life.
Please do not ask a teacher tc
excuse your child from school before
school closes unless absolutely neces.
sary.
Ia YOU will keep your child in schoo
we will do the best we can for him
but when you excuse him %unnecces
sarily you are doing him an unkind
ness.
Yours for the best interests of you
child and your schools.
F. H. Hoff, Superintendent.

keep OUT IOWA COMPANIES
A Mitchell Fraternal Seeking tt
Keep the Iowa Company From
Doing Business in State.

Pierre, April 26.-There appears
to be somewhat of a tangle between
the fraternals of this state and those
of Iowa over the refusal
of the Iowa department to grant Ii
cense to the Home Guardians, a fra
ternal company, with headquarters at
Mitchell, this state. The Iowa COM
missioner refused to grant the South
Dakota company the license which
they asked on the grounds that it
did not meet the legal requirements
OF that state which demands that all
fraternal companies shall do business
under what is known as the adequate
rate basis, which it is alleged is not
the case with the Mitchell company,
nor the orders which. appear below.
AS a result of this action the officials
of the Home Guardians filed a pro-
test and complaint with Insurance
Commissioner Basford, demanding
that he apply the law of reciprocity,
and cancel the licenses which have
been issued to the five Iowa fraternal
companies which r doing business
in this state, the list being the Voc
men, Mystic Toilers, and Homestead
ers of Des Moines, the Brotherhood
of America, Mason City, and the Fra
ternal Bankers of Cedar Rapids. Com
missioner Basford set Saturday., the
oath as the date of hearing, on the
complaint, and served notice on the
Iowa companies citing them to ap-
pear on that date and show cause why
their licenses should not be Cancelled.
On the claim of the Iowa companies
that the date did not give them time
to prepare for the hearing, and asking
for an extension, the same vas given
them to a future date not yet fixed.

tial support at the present time
throuSh the actions of several high
Officials, Friday President Earring,
Second Vice President McKenna,
Harry Hunter and others went to a
point west of Mobridge, where the
Missouri river is crossed, and they
will stop at a point in the vicinity of
LemAA0n, Haynes or Hettinger. From
there they will drive south to Belvi-
der On the Rapid City line and to
which point their private cars We're
sent sunday. The presumption is
very strong that these officials are
looking over a possible route for the
extension of the branch up to the
coast line.
In furtherance of this idea work
has been ordered ON the Iowa and
Dakota and Sioux City and Dakota
lines to gravel the roadbed, which
will permit of the faster trains. 1t
may. take some time for this idea to
be worked out, but we believe from
all Indications that it will come.

The ADvEN1ls1s MAY coME
Committee of Advent Representatives
We're Here to Consult About Sc
curing a Site.

A company of Advent represen-
tatives consisting of Messrs. Christian
of Parker, Nelson, of Irene, and len
sen, Of Viborg, held a conference with
the members Of the city council Tues
day afternoon with reference to Sc
curing d location for holding their
annual campmeeting in this city dur
ing the coming summer. They desir-
ed to secure the west side park, but
the council considered it would not
meet their requirements because Of
the limited room. The driving park
grounds was suggested but the lack
of shade trees rendered that place
out of the question. Late in the
committee around the city and sub
mitted several locations to them. One
or two places were seen which the
committee thought might meet their
requirements, but they declined to
make any definite statement as to
whether Mitchell would be selected
for the camp meeting or not. We'd
nesday the committee went out to
Chamberlain to look over the situa-
ton. For a number of years the Adj
ventists have been meeting at Woon-
socket, and previous to that they held
several sessions in this city, camping
on the site just south of the corn
palace building. Usually they have
drawn very large numbers to their
meetings, and with it more centrally
located in Mitchell the indications
point to a larger attendance.

SOME DRAINAGE TROUBLES
County Commissioners Held Il Con-
ference on the Downs Drainage
Proposition in Union

At the meeting of the board of
county commissioners Tuesday after
noon it was decided to have May II
set as the date for the hearing of
the Downs petition for a drainage
ditch. This is the first petition to
be heard and is of considerable i'm
portance. The proposed site of the
ditch affects sections L, 2, II, and IL
Of township 102. range So, also sec
tons 3, 4, 5, 6, z. 8, 8, 10 and II, OF
township 1O1, range 81. There is
some probability that the commits
sioners will meet with some Difficult
ties as John Smith. living southeast
of Downs claims that the ditch will.
harm instead Of benefit his land and
there is a possibility that he may oh
tain an injunction to stop the pro-
ceedings. Smith contends that what
water is on his land in the spring
runs of in the summer and to as
sess him for his share OF the ditch
expense would be an injustice. The
All Ou olu1I . ludL Luo uIolI.
age ditch would affect is hay land and
not under the same condition as it
would be were it cultivated. The pro-
posed ditch will be from three to five
feet Deep. and eight to twelve feet
wide, with laterals of tile pipe run
ming into it at several places. 1t will
be approximately II miles long with
an estimated cost Of $640 a mile, max
ing a total expenditure of $11,500.
There are four other petitions yet
to be acted upon and the procedure
in them will be determined by the
result of this case.
Other counties in the state hav-
ing land under water part of the
year will likely have considerable to
do in settling drainage petitions
which have been sent in as a result
of the drainage law enacted by the
last legislature. In the Office of the
auditor of Sanborn county, which
abounds in small lakes and sloughs,
there are now on file 10 petitions for
drainage bitches which will have to
be disposed of in some n or
| other. Numerous flowing artesian
wells and the copius rains of the last
few years have made the problem
of drainage a serious one to the
authorities.

PROBABLY WILL CONNECT UP
Indications Point to Milwaukee Road
Connecting Rapid City Line
With Pacific Line.

When the Chicago, Milwaukee G.
st. Paul company extended it's line
west of Mobridge to the coast, some
people got the idea that the Rapid
City line would never mount 10
much, and that it would stop in the
eastern part OF the hills country. 1t
nay stop there so far as that point
is concerned, but the indications
point very strongly to the fact that
the company will connect up the
Rapid City line with the Pacific coast
extension. 1t has looked feasiD!
all the time. 1t seemed to be a fore
gone conclusion that the company
could not handle all the trains from
Chicago to the Pacific coast through
st. Paul and Minneapolis, and the
idea has constantly grown that a
train would be sent out of Chicago
for the coast country to make the
trip via either Mason City or Sioux
City, passing through Mitchell, this
to be done after the two lines had
been connected up.
This idea is receiving very substan.
