Government to Hold Ranger School.

Government to Hold Ranger School.
Arrangements have been made by the
Government to cooperate with the Col
orado College School of Forestry at Col.
orado Springs in giving Forest Rang
ers' course during the coming winter.
The course will be special, covering a
period of ten weeks, from January IL to
March "a, 1910, and is planned to meet
the needs of Forest Rangers of District
2, including National Forests in Colo.
RADIO, Wyoming, South Dakota, Western
n ebraska. and Western Kansas, timber
or uisers, logging superintendent, own
ers of timber lands, and any who wish
to acquire general knowledge of the
principles of forestry and numbering.
Men from the District Office of the
Forest Service at Denver will be detailed
to assist the College Faculty in the in
struction. The first Is days of the course
will be held at the College, and the re-
mainder of the course will be given at
Manitou Park, within the Pike National
Forest, where practical demonstration
will be given and actual work done along
the lines of study. The Colorado School
of Forestry owns l3, 600. acre tract of
timber lands here, and is equipped with
cabins to accommodate the students. A
commissary will be conducted at the
Park, which will bring the cost Of living
within the means of all, and encourage
attendance of men whose financial con-
dition might otherwise prevent taking
up the studies.
No tuition will be charged and the
course will be open to forest Off GERS as
well as men not in the Service, who de-
sire to attend. To reward faithful ser
vice and encourage advancement among
the forest officers, each National Forest
will be entitled to send one ranger. The
selection of the men will be left to the
discretion of the Supervisors, who are
best fitted to judge of rangers qualif.
cations for the detail.
This course will be supplemented by
a course of study on the National For
ests during the winter, outlined and
carried on by the supervisors, aided by
the District Office. Each forest Office is
equipped with forest library, and tex,
books will be selected from the library
and circulated among the rangers
accompanied by digests. The circula
ton of the books will be Systematically
arranged, and progress of the work
checked by periodically reviewing tht
work.

ten weeks. The purpose of this course
is to give general outline of the prin-
ciples Of forestry and the methods Of
handling timber lands. Various mem
bers of the United States Forest Service
will deliver lectures in certain branches
of the work. Although there is Coop
Grafton between the Federal Forest off,
GERS and the school, the purpose of this

Service regulations, but built on broader
lines to enable the students to get gem
eral idea of practical forestry in relation
to both the National Forest Service pol
icy and forestry as affecting private hold
ings. To keep expenses to the lowest pos
sible minimum, arrangements have been
made for conmissary to be controlled

South Dakota Corn and Grain Show.

In 1906 the first State Corn Show wa
held at Mitchell. The fourth show will
be held at Mitchell, January 1922, 1910
The past shows have been given Owe
entirely to the exhibiting and study o
corn. At the last meeting of the Asso
citation it was decided that grain should
be added and that the name of the Asso
citation from now on should be South
Dakota Corn & Grain Growers Associa
tion.
South Dakota is coming to be great
corn State, but it is also great grain
State as well, and it hardly seems right
that the two lines of work should be
separated in a State as young as the State
Of South Dakota. In combining the
corn and grain interest in this one Asso.
citation it is not the intention of those
vitality interested to cut down in anyway
the interest attached to corn, but merely
to make the Association more State wide
in character. There are certain sections
of our State that raise very fine grain,
but in which the raising of corn is to a
certain extent question mark.
Those in charge wish to make this
next show the best one that was ever
held in the State The corn crop the
past season has been magnificent and
there is no reason why We should not
have some very fine exhibits at this
show. The oats and wheat have also
been very good, but as much cannot be
said of the barley, but it is hoped that
some portions of the State can show nice
exhibits of this crop. Premiums are
also offered on clover seed, timothy and
alfalfa, in order to stimulate interest in
the grass and clovers.
Outside the exhibition and the school,
the premiums that are offered on the
best corn are worth considering. Pre-
miums all the way from $l.00 to $S5. 90
each are listed to be offered for the best
corn exhibited in the various classes
and districts of the State
Farmers interested are urged to send
for a premium list, look it over and then
make their plans to attend the school
and send their best corn to be exhibited
at the show. They should get the pre-
MUM list at once and look over the
rules governing the exhibits so they will
not make any mistakes and get their
in too late to be properly en-
tered.
Program and premium list will be
upon application to the Secre-
tary, Mr.. c. E. Twamley, Alexandra,
s. d. Every corn grower is urged to get
busy at once and "boost'' for the State
Corn Show.

May Ride on Freight Trains.

J. E. Kelby, general solicitor for the
Burlington Railroad company, informed
a member of the State Railway Commits
sion that his road would restore freight
trains to the time cards and passengers
would be permitted to ride upon them.
Travelling men protested against the
present arrangement and the railway
commission cited the road to appear and
show cause why it should not be prose-
cuted for taking trains off the schedule
without permission of the Commission.
The statement was made by Mr.. Kelby
that the trains would be restored and
passengers allowed to ride. - Lincoln

We owe it to the community in which
we live to do everything we can in every
way possible that will be to its advan-
tage. Our neighbor's prosperity means
a great deal more to US than someone's
who lives elsewhere. We should bear
this in mind in buying our goods. We
can afford to pay our home man firm
price for his wares rather than send our
money away, knowing as we do that
every dollar that our own citizen makes
will help in sustaining our schools,

CONGRESSMAN MoNpELn.

The Wyoming Tribune, a Republican
evening paper and a staunch supporter oi
the Congressman, recently published the
following poem. As Mr.. Mondelps home
county is our neighbor on the west, we
publish it for the benefit of his admir-
ing friends along the border.
CONGRESSMAN MoNDELL.
Who is that handsome Congressman,
With sparkling eyes and cheeks of tan?
He champions every cause that's right,
Works for his people day and night
Why, that's Monden of wyoming
Hurrah! Wen make the Rockies ring
for Mondell, brave wyoming's king.
Is there an orphan to be fedY
Is there widow with her dead2
Wyoming helps them both, viii pay their way,
And cheering words to them does say
Mondell, of wyoming, h.
Who'll dare the wild beast IN his lair,
The murderous poisoner in his chair,
Who'll hunt the snake from out the dell,
The woman beater to his cell
Mondell, the brave, of Wyoming.
Who'll rend the chain the tyrant waves
That made us live the life of slaves,
Sent some of US to early graves
Held by the Democratic King Of Knaves?
Mondell, of Wyoming.
When far from Washington he'll roam
To find his dear Newcastle home,
With wife and children on each knee,
No man is happier than he.
Good cheer and welcome, then, we bring
To Mondell, brave Wyomings king.
