Something of a sensation has
been created here by the ma
ture of two resolutions which
were adopted at the last meet
ing OF the local board Of edu-
cation. One OF the resolutions
is to this effect:
THAT in the future our
teachers be required to refrain
from attending any ball or
dance on any night preceding
a school day."
The other resolution. which
may be regarded as a direct
slam" at Cupid, reads thus: -
That It. is the sense .of thfss
board that for the best interest
our our schools we deem it UNI
wise and unadvisable for our
teachers to keep company with
or receive attention from pupils
of the opposite sex"

and Expense.

Pierre, S. D., April 11.-Whether the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul Rail-
way company will be compelled to do
away with its scow drawbridge and
wooden piling at Chamberlain and
build a permanent steel structure in
its place, will be determined as the re-
suit of an action brought here in the
supreme court yesterday by Attorney
General Clark, asking for an order to
compel the company to show cause
why a permanent bridge should not be
constructed.
The Milwaukee company was the
first to bridge the Missouri within the
state Of South Dakota, extending its
Chamberlain line west of the river in
1905. following the close of the last
capital campaign, and at that time
constructing the present temporary
bridge at Chamberlain. which has been
out of commission at each high water
period. In addition to its Involving
expensive delay to shippers at such
times, 1t is also considered that eve
at certain periods, when ice is break
ing up, 1t is a hazardous piece Of
attorney general is that shippers
should not be subjected to more than
ordinary hazard nor to unreasonable
expense through the fault Of a COM
mon carrier.

20 PER CENT OF ACREAGE SEEDED
Watertown. S. D., April 9.-With
nearly every farmer in Coding1or
county in the fields, about 20 per cent
Of the acreage to be sown Is already
seeded, the farmers being about ten
days to two weeks ahead Of the usual
time. Last year the majority Of the
farmers started about April 9. The
soil is In the very best Of condition.
The farmers OF Codington county and
vicinity will SOW more wheat than
usual, the high price serving as a
stimulant. The acreage of durum wheat
will be less, many farmers substituting
1t with blue stem. fife and velvet chaff.
The acreage Of oats will be about the
same. Because Of the comparatively
poor crop of barley last year, It is
not expected that so much of this grain
will be sown this year. The corn acre.
age will be a little larger than usual.
Flax will show an increase.

the heart of mankind.
Now, therefore. I. Robert S. Wesley,

Arbor day, Friday. April %, 1910. to be
dedicated to the planting of trees n
