FOOTBALL RULES
CHANGED FOR 1910
Committee Makes Revolutionary
Changes In Game

New York, Aug. 22.--After labor
lasting nearly all summer the foot
ball rules committee have made
public the rules which are to govern
the game during the season of 1910.
Changes adopted are revolutionary
in character and circulated to min
imize greatly the danger of fatal
accidents existing under the old
rules.
For n thing the time of play is
divided into four periods of Is MN
utes' each. The usual intermission
of fifteen minutes is maintained be-
tween the second and third periods
but an intermlssion of three minutes
only is allowed between the first and
second and the third and fourth
periods. During the short inter
mission no player will be allowed
to leave the field nor will any n be
permitted to come on the field save
only the indivuals who look after
the physical condition of the players.

SKY DARkENED
BY FOREST FIRES
Effects Felt All Over South Da-
kOta. Causing Use OF
Electric Lights

The great forest fires which have
been raging in the western states
for several weeks. have assumed en-
ormous proportions, and the result
is almost a national calamity. The
number of known dead is about Is,
but there are nearly 200 missing
forest rangers. The timber loss is
utterly impossible to estimate, but
it will be many millions. and the
other property loss will amount to
at least So, 200, 900. There have been
about 5000 people rendered home
less.
The largest city to be nearly
destroyed was Wallace. Idaho, al
though the residents made a desper-
ate fight for several days to save it.
They were compelled to abandon
their homes Saturday ard were
rushed to Spokane in box cars.
Wallace was a mining city of about
5000 inhabitants and one of the
wealthiest cities in Idaho. Some
local interest centered about the fire
there, as the man who led the fire
fighters in their desperate attempts
to save the city was Mayor Walter
Hanson, an intimate friend and
schoolmate of H, J. Bushfield and C..
M. Carroll. A telegram from Nav
or Hanson Tuesday states that Wal
lace was not wholly destroyed, but
that about forty lives were lost at
that time, and that they we're still
fighting the fires around the city.
The fires left al imprint all over
this state this week. and especially
so or Monday, when the sky was so
darkened by smoke that it became
necessary to use the electric lights
all afternoon. The atmosphere was
a yellow murk and looked very much
like there was an eclipse of the sun.
One of the most peculiar features of
the phenomena occurred early in the
evening. when the sky was overcast
with a brilliand rose color. and re-
sembled the reflection from flames.
The smoke which was so noticeable
in South Dakota was supposed to
have come from the fires in Mon
tana. Passenger traffic through the
burned districts has been called off
by the railroads, and thew are rush
ing their employees there to protect
their property.

NIGHT RACING
NEW FEATURE
State Fair Introduces Nightly
Entertainments With Music
And Races

With the largest exhibit ever made
in the state, as well as the largest
and best speed program. already,
secured, and every indication of a
record breaking attendance, the
state fair board is determined that
no visitor shall go home disappoint-
ed. There will be something doing
every minute, from the opening, at
10 o'clock a. m. the first day until
1000 p. m. Of the last day-with
barely a nightly recess of ten hours
for needed rest.
In addition to the daily program
of the fair proper, a contract has
been closed and all arrangements
perfected, for a magnificent musical
entertainment every evening by the
great Lombardo's Band and Grand
Opera Concert company for a con-
cert each night of the fair. The
company consists of a. instrumental
players, all specialists, "a singers,
including 8 opera s~olists: SO
performers, every one of whom is q
specialist.
These concerts will be held in the
great stock pavilion each evening
commencing at 8 o'clock. In addi-
ton to the spacious amphitheater of
the pavilion the arena will be seated
with comfortable settees, affording
in all seats for 1900 people.
In addition to, and simultaneous
with, the great concerts in the pa
wilton, there will be continuous en-
tertainment every night on the race
track and on specially prepared plat
forms in front of the grand stand
Automobile races and special even
ing horse races additional to the
daily speed program will be pulled
off on the track every evening. The
entire grounds have been wired and
viii be ablaze with electric lights.
0n the roof of the grand stand there
will be placed two powerful revolv-
ing search lights, which will be turn
ed on the racers all the way around
the curse.
Remember the dates, September
II, l3, II, Is and l6. Remember
the special trains and one half fare
rates are given over all railroads for
this great event. and that you will
always regret it If yoI stay away
from it.

Seed Corn Day

September 9th. Why September
10th, when the average date for the
last killing frost is September 3Gth?
Because a few years ago the first
killing frost was September 18th.
Can we afford to take chances on our
seed corn? No, because it means too
much. Last spring there vas a
great deal of inferior corn in South
Dakota. Why? To what was it
due? Mostly to carelessness on the
part of we farmers. Often times
we believe it is more thoughtlessness
than 1t Is careiessness.
Where shall we make the selection?
In the field. When? Before Sep
tember 18th. We know that all ears
matured at this date will in all pro-
liability be ripe the same time the
following season. Remember that
like begets like.-Press Bulletin

FARM RENTERS
EXCEED SUPPLY
Inquiries for Farms to Rent
More Frequent Than
Ever Before

Five years ago there we're COM
paratively few inquiries for farms to
rent in this section of South
Dakota, nearly all farmers being
owners. Today the demand exceeds
the supply.
Scarcely a day passes but what
one to a half dozen applications are
made to real estate dealers for farms
to rent. These inquiries come from
all over the west. from South Dakota
and all neighboring states, as far as
Illinois and Wisconsin. The in
quiries are for all kinds of farms
from 100 to $40 acres, some for cash
rent, mainly on crop shares.
This condition suggests a new era
for this locality. and warrants the
belief that the next five years will
see many new farms improved-in
fact many farms have been improved
during the last five years. bit the
work has only begun.
The opportunity of the day in
Hand county lies in improving raw
land. Many recent purchasers
have cultivated a portion of their
lands, to rent to neighboring tar
mers, but this method does not
bring the best results. The home
farm. where a man lives, receives
his first and best attention, of
course, and outside rented lands are
a secondary consideration. The
difference of yields between the two
is 80 marked, as a rule, that owners
are beginning to see the wisdom of
placing buildings upon their lands,
and securining a good tenant there
for. The greatest inquiry from
purchasers now received is for inn
proved farms, instead of raw land.
In some instances noted this year
the difference of yield between the
occupied farm, and the outside rent
ed land. runs from five to eight
dollars per acre. In other cases
some owners of farms will not rent
to q man unless he contracts to give
all his time and work exclusively to
their farm.
Still a further reason for improv-
ing is found in the increased value
Of lands. As the investment now
requires more money it is not the
part of wisdom to let it Law idle.
Under these conditions it is now be-
coming apparent that greater rev.
enue can be received from the land
by placing buildings thereon, with a
good tenant who will also improve
and increase the farms value.

TAFT FAVORS
EX=PRESIDENT
President Had No Share In Plot
To Defeat Roosevelt

New York, Aug. 23.-President
Taft and Ex-president Roosevelt are
again fellows workers in the same
political field. The threat that they
might pull apart has been forefend-
ed by a full explanation on one side
and an u%nreserved acceptance on
the other.
The president makes it PLAN
IN a statement given out here yes
terday by LLOYD c. Griscom, presi-
dent of the New York republican
county committee, how the misun-
derstanding arose. He explains
that ne never took any part in a
committee cabal to defeat Col.
Roosevelt for temporary chairman
of the coming republican state con
vention. On the contary, he expli.
city deplores the result of the COM
mittee meeting which chose Vice
President Sherman; he rebukes the
party leaders who have permitted it
to go abroad uncontradicted that
the president was behind their fac
tional preferences; he insists that
every opportunity he advised the
fullest confidence with Col. Roose-
welt and he explains that he has been
panied by the columns of unfound-
ed assertions IN the news papers CON
corning my attitude in respect to
the New York situation"
For his part, Colonel Roosevelt,
when he read President Taft's letter
as communicated to him at Oyster
Bay, said:
Il am very glad to see President
Taft's letter and am pleased with
it."

SEED CORN DAYS
Gov. Nessey issues Proclamation
Urging Farmers To Select

A PROCLAMATION

Thus far the season of 1910,
throughout the central and western
states. has been n of exceptional
drouth. in consequence of which the
hay crop, together with that Of the
various small grains will, in those
states, be quite materially short
ened.
AS year follows year we realize
more and more that South Dakota
lies well within the corr belt and
that the corn crop is one of her most
valuable resources. The good year
1909 gave Us a greater yield of corn
than we have ever had before in the
history of the state, and during the
present year corr has thrived and
undoubtedly will be the most SUBJ
stantial crop of the season.
am convinced that the careful
following of modern scientific meth
DDS will secure for us in the coming
year a magnificent corn yield, far
surprising that of any previous
year, The first essential of success
in corn culture is, of course, the sell
ection of good seed, and, realizing
the Importance f securing seed be-
fore the coming of frost, | hereby
proclaim September 9 and 10, A. D..

And would urgently request that all
of our farmers go into their corn
fields on those days and carefully
and judiclously select the best ears
for seed for the coming year. By
so doing the cor crop for the sue

creased.

Atmosphere Tests

An interesting feature concerning
the sounding balloons which the
government has been sending up
from Huron is that this is the only
point in the United States from
which they are being sent. From
twenty-five places on the globe they
are being sent up at this same time
to ascertain the temperature and
the exact condition of the atmos-
phere which surrounds the world.
and Huron is the point selected for
this country because of its central
location in the midst of the prairies.
The experts at Huron have receiv-
ed two of the balloons which they
sent up and have prepared some of
the data from these records. Those
found near Doone. Ia. show that
the highest altitude reached by the
balloon was S.9 miles above the earth
and at this altitude the temperature
was 46.3 degrees Fahrenheit below
zero. Upon leaving the earth the
temperature vas 1913 degrees above
zero. The coolest temperature re-
corded on the trip was at 8 miles
above the earth when it registered
IS degrees below zero.
The instruments from the balloon
which reached earth nea Brookings
showed that it had reached an alti.
tude of 81 miles and the tempera-
ture at this point vas 56.5 degrees
below zero. This was the coolest
temperature recorded during the
flight and at the time of leaving the
earth the temperature was IT'S de-
grees above zero.

The Bright Side

Some one has said that we find
what we are looking for in this
world. If that be true-and it. is
true to a certain measure-how very
much better and more wholesome to
be looking for kindness rather than
sights, for happiness rather than
for misery, for the flowers of life
rather than its thorns! Even when
these things seem impossible you
may think them into better things.
Your Illusions and disiIlusions are
to the mind what rose colored and
blue spectacles are to the eyes-illu-
sion the rose, disillusion the blue.
1t may seem a sort of child's play to
hold so fast to that which may be
mythical, but anything is worth
while which makes for happiness
and peace.-Ey.
