and much interest was created. those
present realizing much benefit from
the queries and answers. Among the
many opinions brought out were the
following: That the slip scraper
does more uneven work than use of
the grader: the grader should be
placed in shelter when through with
it tor the season. being thoroughly
creased and scraped; dump boards
etc.. should also be placed in covered
place; that the wheel scraper is
better to use over and above Is rods,
but for short hauls the slip scraper
is to be preferred: grade so that the
water will run sideways. not endwise !;
work in his township had not demon
strated that the elevator could do
quicker and cheaper work than the
grader; in ordinary township work
the elevator proves an Inconvenience

stated that the elevator had been
used in his township cheaper than any
other method.

THE NEWS FROM LENNON.
Maurice Winans Writes as to South Dakota
Weather and Crop Conditions.
Lennon. S. D. /,

Feb. IL, 1909.
Dear Editor: Inclosed please find
$3.50 to pay up for the Review. We
ar. always glad when Saturday comes.
as that is the day we get the paper
and it is just like getting letter
every week. l saw in last weeks
paper about the storm in Iowa and
suppose some of the people think it
came from South Dakota, but it did
not. We had no storm at all. We
have had very nice winter so far.
Of course we have had plenty of snow.
but that is just what we want, we
also had any amount of rain this sea-
son and crops raised turned out good.
We have a fine looking soil, good
grass and stock does fine on it.
Range horses are running on the
prairie this winter and are in good
condition. As to water there never
was better in and all around Lennon.
We have fine coal that they mine in
this county that we get for So. 90 a
ton. which makes fuel quite cheap.
l am located four miles southeast of
Lennon, which is surely booming
town. 1t has something like $50
business places and is still on the
boom. Anything can be got and Just
as cheap as you can get it anywhere.
Will gladly answer anyone's letter
who writes me and will tell them all
l can cf this country.
Yours Respectfully,
Maurice Winans,

Mr.. Taft is now approaching the
end of his Presidential honeymoon.
In common with the bride and the

brief season of perfect bliss. He
not only holds the center of the stage;
he is the center of the stage. Sweet
potatoes fairly start from the ground.
the possum hasteps gleefuly TO the
sacrifice. even the masonic goat consid-
ers itself ridden and all is joy and peace
and loving kindness. This is as it
should be. The bride needs honey
moon before the open season for dish
washing commences, the graduate
needs all the encouragement of pomp
and photographs to nerve him for the
battle of life of which he hears so
much and knows SO little. and the
president. elect needs ali the artificial
aid of brass bands. banquets and bonn
hast to keep him sweet tempered and
fit for the real problems which are
sure to confront him as soon AS he
feels the responsibility as we'll as the
glory of his exalted position.

lice. TO the Commissioners that the nu-
merous escapes from the Government
asylum IN the past year constituted a
menace 70 the community. and that. in
his opinion. some stringent method of
stopping the escapes should be adopted

that II the escaped patients have been
confined By law, the asylum head is
responsible 10 the law 10 see that these
patients are not released except by
process Of law.
At the Government hospital IL is not
felt by those IN charge that the patients
referred to have escaped through any
laxity Nor will they curtall the liberty
Of those patients who are allowed the
freedom of the grounds.
I'VE do not run prison here" was
the terse remark of DR.. Miller, who Is
in charge during Superintendent White s
absence when the matter was brought

RAYMOND FORGIVEN.

It's very nice for a nine-year-old boy
to have his mother show her confidence
in him by going downtown and leaving
the house in his care. In theory it's
beautiful, but If any young Washing

a trust let him seek the experienced ad-

GRASS IS PULLING
DISTRICT OFFICIALS
Bald Spots on Lawn in Front Of Municipal Building
Cause Much Wory-Landscape Gardeners
Again at Work.

The officials OF the District are hav-
ing troubles OF their own with the lawn
in front Of the Municipal Building.
Ever since the big building in Penn
sylvauia avenue was completed a year
ago last July and the stones and gravel
we're cleared from the granite-enclosed
building lots in front, the grass has
been the subject of much worry and
conjecture.
Before the seed was sOwed, load after
load of rich loan was dumped in front
Of the building. The Commissioners
were not In tie least stingy with fer
tilizer and the ground was made as
level as a billiard table. Then the grass
started growing. It grew 50 fast that
some OF the clerks insisted that by
STANDING; at a front window for half
an hour. during working hours-only
during working hours, howeveT-they
could actually see it grow.
But such wonderful grass was not for
long. Around the edges of the. lawn
some one made G. mistake and planted a
bushel Of wnest and barley, and for a
couple OF months this spring a half
dozen men and IS many lawn mowers
were kept busy to prevent the Commits
sioners' front yr.Td from resembling
a Kansas farm.
Every day the weeds were weeded, the
grass was cut faithfully, and ali day a
hose was played on it to keep it from
burning oIt. But some OF the blades
seemed to have an ingrowing affictior
and premature bald spots were every
where in evidence.
It was nurtured more faithfully than
ever. Tonic was applied to bald spots.
