okIshoms's crop Is Large. but the
Quality Is Inferior.


Guthrie Okla. Aug 24-The state
board or agriculture Is to Join with the
trunk line railroad companies in okla
homa in an effort to induce Oklahoma
farmers to SOW only pure seed wheat.
TO the end that no shipments OF mixed
wheat will be sent to outside markets.
A Better Wheat Train will be sent
to the wheat growing counties, with
lecturers, and exhibits of wheat ana
flour, to make plain to the farmer how
he may increase his profits III raising
wheat.
Il is estimated that Oklahoma pro-
duced "a million bushels of wheat this
year, but that lack of purity in the
seed will reduce the value of this
crop by sS.00000o. A pure hard Tur-
key red wheat grown in Oklahoma is
superior for milling purposes Mime.
sofa millers this year asked for To-
100000 bushels OF pure hard 0klaho-
ma wheat, but could not find it, the
bulk OF Oklahomas wheat being q
mixture of several varieties.
The oklahoma crop is from month
to six weeks earlier than the crop in
other western wheat states, and fol
that reason is an important factor In
the wheat market for that period, Il
to this advantage Of early market
could be joined the further advantage
Of pure wheat shipments. the Okla,
homa wheat grower would be more
prosperous.

WALWORTH COUNTY LINE.

The curiosity of the farmers living
in the southeastern portion of Wal
worth county has been aroused by
the presence in that vicinity of about
a score of surveyors and engineers,
who as near as can be ascertained
are running a line from Tolstoy to
Mobridge, the latter place being the
point where the coast extension of the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
Railway company crosses the Mis-
souri, river. Residents Of Walworth
county profess to believe that the
surveyors are in the employ of the
Minneapolis and ST. Louis Railway
company, and that the company plans
Oh extending Il line from Tolstoy to
Mobridge, where a crossing Of the
Missouri river will be made for the
line which it is supposed thecompany
plans on extending to the new region
in the northwestern part Of South
Dakota.

SUMMER HOMES IN CANYON.

Rapid City journal: A company
composed largely Of men from Pierre,
but having also among its stockhod-
ers some Rapid City people has pur-
chased the little ranch of 24O acres
located about seven miles up Rapid
Canyon and the coming spring pro-
badly will see considerable building
activity on the property. The open

With the purchase Of the land this
new company also acquires the ad-

be utilized at a later date. At pres

REAL NEED OF REFORM.

New York Evening Post: This
mornings news again brings to notice
the need OF proper safeguards for the
lives Of miners. One hundred and
fifty men have been entombed in the
mine of the Colorado Fuel and Iron
company at Primero. State after
state is having this kind of eNperi-
ence, and while it is true that these
disasters have recently been having
the effect of stirring up the conscience
of the people in the matter, aid bring
ing about more or less reform, prog
ress has been altogether too slow. 1t
is high time that some standard
should be generally recognized
throughout the country, by those
conversant with mining affairs, as
demanded by the plain requirements
Of civilized humanity For several
years past, the number Of miners
directly killed by coal mine explo-
sions has been over 1000 every yeara
In addition to these there is a much
larger number of persons injured. 1t
is estimated that the number Of
killed and injured in mining ac-
cidents has been more than 10000
every year, and some years very
considerably more. This means
that out of every fifty persons engaged
in mining today, one will be killed or
injured in a mine explosion before
the year is outa state of things that
certainly should not be allowed to
continue.

pIERRE's GREAT OPPORTUNITY

Aberdeen American:-Alt Although Alb
erdeen is not located upon the Missouri
river, it is vainly interested in the de-
velopment of that great stream both
for navigation and power purposes.
Every item Of growth along the river
means greater state and that is what
will help this city indirectly, if not in a
way that can be definitely pointed out.
The business men of Pierre are taxi
ing up this idea of river development.
and they have discovered great possi-
bilities in latent waterpower in that
stream near their city. Now they have
started plans for preliminary develop
ment of the vast possibilities which are
believed at hand and they will carry
them through to make of a capital i
great manufacturing city. 1t already
has natural gas and, now If power can
be generated from the river there will
be wonderful future in store for the
city.
At Pierre the Missouri makes two
great bends which are the key Of the
power situation. At Little Bend few
miles up the stream from the city there
is fall of fifteen feet six inches where
the river makes circuit Of about twen-
ty miles and bends back to point IT,
800 feet across the neck. 4 At Big

MISSOURI RIVER POWER,

The ultimately great water powers
of South Dakota are to be developed
upon the Missouri river itself; pow
ers sufficient to provide motor power
for an empire. There are two Of
these great potential powers within
South Dakota. one at the Big Bend,
"a miles southof Pierre, and the other
at Little Bend, 25 miles above the
capital.
The Big Bend of the Missouri is To-
Gated where Hughes, Hyde, Buffalo
and Lyman counties come together.
The land within the bend is a portion
of Lyman county and, belongs to the
Lower Brule Indian reservation.
The distance around the bend Is 30
miles, the distance across the gorge"
1000 yards, and the fall in the river
from the neck around to the neck is
21.6. The cut across the gorge is
through a shale which will make
good footing for works. The most
expensive feature Of the development
of the power will be the diversion
dam across the old channel, which
will require to be about one mile In
length. Engineers who have made
only a cursory examination of the
proposition suggest that the Develop
ment OF the power plant and the con-
struction of locks for navigation will
involve an outlay of perhaps So. 900. 900.
The whole force of the mighty vol
ume of the Missouri will here become
available for power. How many horse
power will be generated cannot even
approximate, but, when the river is
in flood it will be tremendous. In
connection with the plans now being
agitated for the improvement Of the
Missouri by the impounding OF food
waters in the deep-cu valleys Of the
upper tributary streams, steady
maximum flow throughout the year
can be maintained. Even at present
low water, the current which the Big
muddy will throw over such dam
will be far from insignificant.
The situation at Little Bend is not
materially different from that describ-
ed at Big Bend. The distance around
the bed is a trle over 2Omiles; across
the gorge $500 yards, and the fall is
1916. The gorge is ridge of shale
sufficiently tenacious to hold masonry
and the necessary diversion dam will
be Of about the same extent.
That these great propositions will
be developed at no distant date Is sor-
tain. The legislation necessary will
be highly important, and the question
OF public or private control will per-
haps find It's first determination here,
and the advanced notions of cOnserva-
tion receive here their great practical
test.
Unquestionably the potential power
is here to drive all of the machinery
and conduct all Of the transportation
of South Dakota for many years to
come.

III less than two mouths, if the
present plans prevail, something like
10000 new homes will begin to be
established west of the Missouri
river, in South Dakota The advent
of the homesteaders will not mean
that the state will absolutely gain
that many new homes, for large pro-
portion of them will come from east
of the river, in this state. But even
tualiy, it will amount to the same
thing, for newcomers from other
states will take The place OF the
homesteaders moving from the older
settled regions of this state to the
new lands west of the Missouri. In
side Of few years, therefore, the
opening Of the Standing Rock and
Cheyenne river reservation will mean
the addition of so, 900 or 10000 people
to the population of South Dakota.
1t means, also, a nearer balancing Of
the populations east and west of the
Missouri. Aberdeen will be the
wholesale center for the large popu-
lation which is coming, and will also
furnish the market for most Of the
surplus products of the homesteads.

entertainers never manage to attain
this particular flavor for their enter
tainments. And again some of the sin, :
plest of functions are surrounded anC
glorified by the charm of home.
What is it? And why does it escape
the most ardent seekers? That is &
difficult question to answer. Some
, times it is the studied air of careless.
9ess which makes the guest feel UNI
welcome. Perhaps back of all is the
lack of real JOY of friends, and. again
perhaps it is due to the awkward ex-
preston of a timid soul seeking kim
ship among those about it..
Devote yourself to serious consider
alton of the subject. Do not be salts
fed with the mere fact of having is
sued invitations to a hundred guests
when your friends cannot entertain
more that fifty. Do not imagine that a
function" is more desirable than an
enjoyable time. You have not done all
when you have invited a number of
guests, and provided a game, and
delightful bill Of fare. There must 60
into the entertainment your person
atty and your heart.
Entertaining is like making Christ
mas gifts-only delight when you
love the other person. This wholesale
giving of either your hospitality or
your gifts is absurd. Better a dozen
little joyful evenings than one big af-
fair, even if the society column does
not think your efforts worthy of no.
tice
This absurd big function, which is
merely method of wiping the slate
clean of debts is the ruin Of real hos
pitality. Pay your social debts by the
which mean thousand times more
than the big entertainment, which is
usually entertaining In intent only.
Line your walls with books Fill
your head with ideas Fill your heart
with love of your kind and you will
at least have found the door to the life
of real home making. Make your
friends welcome to your whether
1t be of your hearth or your heart.
Live simply and be not afraid to offer
your simple hospitality to whomsoever
you consider worthy of your friend
ship. Wealth OF purse may be on the
other side, but no one can out snatch
the truly hospitable soul in wealth of
love. There is the key note If you
would make your home all the name
implies.
