STANLEY COUNTY DIVISION
Manner Of Division to be Es-
tablished on the 10Th.

The county commissioners of Stan
ley county have set the 10Th of this
month as the date when they will
finally decide in what manner they
will dispose of the petitions on county
division in that county. The petitions
asking for different plans of division
are so numerous that the commission
ers are puzzled as to the method of
submission. The petition carrying
the largest number of names is backed
by Phillip boosters and asks for IA
cutting off Of more than half on The
west and the creation of the county
of Iowa. A second petition asks for
the re-establishment Of the old county
of Jackson, in the southwest part Of
Stanley, which would give some of
the ambitious towns along the Mil
waukee road an opportunity to secure
county seat honors. The third asks
that the old county of Sterling be re-
established in the northwest corner of
Stanley, which would create county
without railroad, and open the way
for the numerous little prairie towns
in that section to fight among them
selves for county seat honors. The
commissioners will first have to de-
eide in what manner they will submit
the different questions. With SO
many conflicting interests the indica-
tions do not look particularly bright
for any change in the lines of Stanley
county, with the probabilities that it
will remain as the largest county in
the state for some time yet.-Yank-

THE CROP OUTLOOK
A Survey of the General Crop Situa-
ton and Prospects in the State
THE CROP WILL SHORT

From all which can be gathered by
talks with farmers in this part of the
state, and general reports from all
sections of the state, the crop situa-
tion is peculiar. The reports all range
from splendid to failure, and this is
not confined to any one particular
section of the state. The same reports
come from even the southeast corner
of the state, where they expect
good crop every year. This is caused
by the way in which the rains of the
season so far have been secured to
large extent. Practically all the rains
have been "local" showers. Where
they covered the country, the crop
condition depends upon the amount
of precipitation they brought.
There will be a strip of country in
which the local rain was heavy, and
another in the same vicinity, where
it was light or missed entirely, and
the condition ranges from good all the
way down to nothing even in the
same township. The same small grain
has been affected by this condition
more than corn has. The manner of
putting in the grain has also had some
effect. That which was drilled in
deep makes a better showing than
that which was broadcasted.
The grass on the prairie has suffered
more than the crop. While late rains
have made fair grazing, it has not
brought sufficient growth of good
hay, and the hay crop where it de-
pends upon the wild prairie grass will
be shorter than usual, and high prices
are likely to prevail for the coming
winter-Sioux Falls Argus-Leader.

Delinquents Must Pay

was not sufficiently so.
sit seems little tough that a
newspaper owner has to be hauled up
before the government on the charge
OF having violated federal laws just
because he does not eternally keep

SHERIFF TO Be ENJ0INED.
F. ffOrts Made to Save DOWnie-
Wright Property at
Rapid City.

President Harry Wentzy, of the
Security Savings bank, as trustee OF
the Downie- Wright Manufacturing
company, has instructed his attorney,
Frank ID. Bangs, to bring an injunc-
tion against Sheriff Hewett to restrain
him from disposing of any part of the
plant at public auction Monday,
August 8. The writ of injunction is
sued out by Trustee Wentzy to pro-
tect portions of the property not
covered by the mortgage and judg-
ment held by parties in York, Neb.,
who are attempting to foreclose their
line of something over $4,000. AS
trustee, Mr.. Wentzy is of the opinion
that the property and the interest of
other creditors will best be conserved
by sale of the entire property under
an order issuing from the United
States court. Should a part of the
property be sold under foreclosure a
year would elapse before purchasers
would be justified in making improve
lnents for the reason that the fee
owners of the property would have
that time to redeem their title.
Trustee Wentzy is in daily cores
pondence with several eastern firms
who have the necessary capital to not
only purchase the plant in it's entire
ty, but also to at once start it opera
ting. AS a matter of fact Mr.. Wentzy
could secure from the United States
court an order of sale and dispose of
the property before the date, August
8, set for foreclosing portion of the
property, but considers the best plan
TO secure injunction and continue
negotiations of the sale. The injunc-
tion will be heard before Judge Car
land at Sioux Falls within few
days.-Rapid City Dispatch in Aber-
deem News.

To Prevent Wrinkles.

Caring for her eyes by a method or
treatment she has evolved for herself
has been satisfactory for one woman.
fifty years old, who has no crows feet
nor do her eyelids have the drawn look
that sometimes makes middle-aged ma
irons appear homely. Her method Is
hot congresses and later dashes of cold
water taken daily.
Her theory Is that a woman's eyes when
tired become dull in aspect, and that the
lids grow either heavy and thick or
become drawn. Therefore rest acts as
a preventive But as it is impossible to
know Immediately the point of fatigue
reached, something to take away lnf1am-
nation must be used also. and 1t is Tor
this reason she advocates hot wat 81;
Ten minutes q day is the length or time
she devotes to the treatment. and when
she Is lunching at home she prefers to
do the work directly after that meal.
When engagements forbid this hour, she
takes whatever period best suits her.
When treating ner eyes two congresses
of old white flannel are put on small
table near the head of couch She
also has a jug Of hot water near. me
jug is preferred to basin, for the water
may not SO quickly cool. Then she Hes
down. vets one of the flannels, wrings
out only enough water to avoid any
streams running down her race. ana
places the soft compress over Doth eyes
The water is as hot as she can endure
comfortably. AS that cloth coois the
other is wet, and the last replaces the
1rst, changing as frequently as is neces-
sary The flannel is made to come out
heyond the corners of the eyes over the
space where crows feet first appear.
Sometimes the woman gently messages
this portion with cold cream before put
ting on the compress, but such massag-
ing is not done oftener than once a
week.
When the hot lamentations have been
applied for five minutes, fresh supply
Of hotter water is brought and used for
the ensuing five minutes.
Immediately the last compress IS re-
moved the woman stands before basin
and holds the dripping sponge of cold
water over both eyes. This is done for
at least two minutes. in order to tighten
the skin that is loose from heating. The
skin should feel cool before the cold
bath is stopped.
Then around the eyes and on the upper
lids is rubbed a little cold cream. giving
q special allowance to the crows feet
corner Afterward superf1uous grease is
wiped off with a soft cloth. In this way
the woman rests both the nerves and
muscles of her eyes.

BOTH REPORTS ADOPTED
ACTION OF NATIONAL TRAVEL
Frs ASSOCIATION.
Question of Embezzlement From the
Home Office in 1908 and 1909
Disposed Of.

CHATTANOOGA. Tenn, June 15.-In a
| three-hour session yesterday the Ma
tional Travellers Protective Association
disposed. of the troublesome question of
embezzlement of funds Of the organiza-
ton from the home Office in ST. Louis
In 1908 and 1909. The matter was set
tied by adoption of both the majority
and minority reports submitted by the
board of directors. The understanding
is that the minority and their friends
considered that the majority had not
covered the whole ground, hence the fight
to have the minority report come before
the convention. The majority members
are equally as positive that the minority
report was not a full one. Whether or
not the final action be much of a vic
tory for the minority, it will not
alter the aspect of things as regards
the embezzlement shortage or procedure
taken to recover. IL possible. from the
banking and bonding concern involved.
This matter was practically the only
one taken up at the lengthy session,
which began at 10 O'Clock Monday morn
ing and ended yesterday afternoon. A
large part of the session was executive,
with the convention resolved into COM
mittee of the whole. The press was not
literally barred, but was asked to re-
spect the wishes of the convention that
the executive session be not given detail

FOR MUSICAL VENDORS.
Boston Girl Opens School for Street
Hawkers.

BOSTON, June 15.-An outdoor school
for turning out musical ragmen, hawkers
and street vendors is a novelty that has
been esta blished in the South End by
Miss Caroline e. Wenzell. college grad
uate and settlement worker.
Miss Wenzell believes that if the voice
of the ragman and the hawker must be
tolerated 1t should issue from the throat
in tones of harmony. 1t should be in a
measure operate.
She selected an alleyway through which
line of peddlers made their way daily
and waited. AS fast as the peddlers ap-
peared she stopped them. Zach peddler
was asked his nationality. how long he
had been in the country, whether he was
married or not, and how much English he
knew.
She told them If they spoke better
English and cried their wares more
plainly and musically their customers
would be doubled and trebled. Then and
there she gave her "class'-four peddlers

COLORS THAT FiARMONIZE
WITH HOUSE FITTINGS

the three colors in the room would be inn
possible But brown is the color that will
hold all the others together, toning, not
antagoniZing, them. Window curtains for
the same room are cafe au lait raw silk,
but they hang straight to the sills. Thus
the same color scheme is retained.
When walls are comparatively plain or
striped effectiveness can be secured by
use of wildly patterned curtains For
instance, birds, great foliage or lowered
designs, and even conventional patterns,
when done in pronounced colors, must be
selected. These can be bought in printed
cottons, as we'll as silks and cretonnes,
and wash admirably. They hold their
color in the sun.
In spite of the general advice to use
paper, hanging and furniture coverings
to match, it is a fad that should be
Discriminatory employed or confusion
will be indescribable. Such a scheme may
be developed in a room where there is
an effect of space. In a small one the
curtains would seem to become mixed
with the walls and furniture would lose
it's identity. 1t will be far better to use
plain material for hangings and furni-
ture, applying bands of the stuff to match
the paper, if a person wishes to intro
once more of the design.

Motor Bonnets.

Motor bonnets can be ordered to match
auto coats IL money is no consideration.
However, the costume Of coat and bonnet
may be safely attempted by the home
dressmaker.
The pattern selected for the coat should
be a loose model allowing plenty Of room
and giving protection to the gown worn
beneath. Il should also button close to
the throat, but at the same time allow
of being made so 1t can be thrown back
If necessary.
The bonnet is arranged with three tucks
set in around the face, the bag-like
crown drawn in at the ears and held
down with ribbon rosettes. The ties start
from under the rosettes.
The marked down sales occur SO early
this year that 1t is possible to take ad-
vantage Of them before going away on
vacation.
