CORNERSTONE OF

MethOdiSts Start Work On New
S75,O 900 Church and
Gymnasium

Pierre, July l1-One of the inter-
esting events of church history of
this cit" occurred here Sunday with
the laying of the cornerstone of the
new Methodist church which is to be
erected on the grounds which the
church has owned for years. The
ceremony was largely attended and
the different churches of the city
were all represented in the work,
with them representatives of the
city administration, and business
men. In the corner stone of the
new structure were deposited a
number of articles, principal among
them being the contents of the box
which was sealed at the time of the
laying of the corner stone of the old
church building in 1883. Governor
Vessey took a part in the ceremony,
spreading the mortar in which the
stone was laid, which is the tegin-
ming of the finest church structure
in the city and one of the best in
the state.
The new building cost approximate
ely $75,0 900 and besides being fitted
for church purposes the basement
will be arranged for Y. M. c. A. club
rooms, and fully equipped gymnas-
ium and shower and plunge baths to

~nCt Tires

Many motorists will welcome the
announcement that an air cushion
has been perfected by George West
inghouse of Plttsburg by which steel
tires may be used instead Of rubber
without lessening the resiliencv
necessary to comfortable travelling.
Mr. Westinghouse record as an in
ventoi gives weight so his assertion
that, by the use of his AIR cushion,
the expense of running motor hrs
can be reduced at least 90 per cent.
1t is further asserted that the cost
of automobiles will be reduced by
one-half, although this declaration
would appear at present TO be al
most too rosy fer belief.
The rapidly rising price of rubber
due to the very heavy demands for
it in recent years. have seriously

The following word picture 5 one
of the most beautiful in the English
language. 1t is from the pen of
Robert lngersol and was written as
a tribute to Henry Ward Beecher.
Nature woocd and won and saved
this mighty soul. Her countless
hands were sowing seeds within his
tropic brain. All sights and sounds
all %colors, forms. and fragments
were stored with the treasury of
his mind. His thoughts were mold
ed by the graceful curves of streams,
by winding paths in woods, the
charm of quiet country roads, and
lanes grown Indistinct with weeds
and grass-by vines that cling and
hide with leaf and flower and crumb-
ling wallis decay-by cattle standing
in the summer pools like statues of
content.
AS in the ~leafless woods some tree
ahame with life stands like a rapt
poet in the needless crowd, SO stood
this man among his fellowmen Ali
there is of leaf and bud, of flower
and fruit. of painted insect life, and
all the winged and happy children of
all that summer holds beneath her
dome of blue, we're known and loved
by him.
He heard the rhythmic sounds of
natures busy strife, the hum Of
bees, the songs Of birds, the eagles
cry, the murmur of the streams, the
signs and lamentations of the wind
and all the voices of the sea. He
loved the shores, the wales, the crags
and cliffs, the city's busy streets,
the retrospective. silent plain, the
solemn splendors of the night, the
silver e of dawn. the evenings
clouds of molten gold. The love of
nature freed this loving man.

FINE YIELD OF
WINTER WHEAT
Beadle Co. Former Secures IS To
20 Bushels To Acre

Huron Herald Seldom do South
Dakotans ever see a crop of wheat
harvested during the first week IN
July, but that is just what John
Hotties is doing on his farm about
two and a half miles northwest of
town-just this side of the junction.
The binder was tving up some
good full bundles of the winter
wheat yesterday. The grain was
fully ripened. The straw was fairly
good and of decent height for bind
ing, while the heads were good and
large and filled with plump, solid
kernels. Winter wheat is a scarcity
in these parts, but Mr. Hotties success
in growing this variety should. induce
others to try it. 1t is estimated that
Mr. Hotties field will average from
Is to 20 bushels to the acre.

CROP OUTLOOK
MORE FAVORABLE
In South Dakota Than I'm Other
Northwest States

The interest of the Northwest, and
in fact of the entire country, is now
centered on the crop conditions in
North and South Dakota. Minnesota,
Iowa, and Nebraska. Speculation is
rife and opinions are many as to
what yield there will be this year
and of the consequences on the
country at large.
There is no denial of the fact that
the crop CT 1910 will be a short one,
but those in touch with the situation
are certain that the weld will be
better than is generally predicted,
at least in South Dakota. North
Dakota has suffered more from
drouth than any of her sister states,
and the most optimistic of the ex-
perts say that her immense wheat
crop will be cut in two. This fact
will Of course affect the whole coun-
try on the flour question.
The situation in South Dakota is
more favorable now on the eve of
harvest than it has been for several
weeks. The month of July has
been much cooler, with several quite
general rains, and the prospect is
good for a Is per cent yield on the
small grains, and a better corn crop
than usual. If such is the case. the
farmers will not suffer any great
loss, as the higher prices will par
TALLY make up for the grain short
age.
The fields in this vicinity present
a spotted appearance being fairly
good where the crops were we'll
put in. Some, cutting of oats has
been begun and the next week
or two will witness the beginning
of the wheat harvest. Last weeks
rains were not as heavy at Miller as
at nearby points, but they served to
mOlsten up the ground.
