purposes is it's ability to stand high volt
ages without fusing. Exhaustive tests
on the South Dakota product place the
resistance at go, 600 to $4,000 volts-some
tests have shown as high as 100, 600 volts.
This equals the best India and Canada
tests, and far exceeds the North Caro-
lima product.
Every incandescent lamp socket con-
tains mica. Practically every generator
and motor contains mica. Many cables
contain mica, and we are all familiar
with the fuses which are covered with a
sheet of mica the size OF 25 cent piece.
Many brands of prepared roofing paper
contain mica; mica is used to great
extent in axle greases; fancy sparkling
wall paper and post cards; in fact it is
used in scores of ways that were un-
known when it 6rs. inaoduced itself to
the layman as "isinglass" in the old
fashioned wood stove and base burner
In fact, the demand for stove use and
the manufacture of chimneys for gas
burners has become second in import
ance to the demand in the electrical
field.
Millions of washers are annually made
for use in sockets and similar electrical
contrivances, this demand taking care of
large amount of by Lin, by 2-in.
and by pin. sheets. The larger sheets
are used in the manufacture of mica
mite, or prepared mica board, of dimen-
sions of IL by Is in. and larger. Mica
mite is made of layers of small sheets
and shellac, the whole, after being built
up to the required thickness, being SUBJ
jected to intense pressure in hydraulic
presses.
The large sheets find ready market
with stove manufacturers, and bring the
highest prices, the smaller sheets are in
larger demand with the electrical people,
and are worth little less money, while
the scrap mica is, in the Black Hills, at
least, little more than by-product, and
brings a trife more than enough to
transport it to market.
An indication of the undoubted per-
manence of the industry in this district
is the announcement that the Westing-
house Company will erect large cleo
trio generating station on the railroad,
at Custer, from which point power for
all of its mines will be transmitted. The
company also proposes to furnish light
for the town of Custer.

A peculiar case, originating under our
state school law, has come into circuit
court in Stanley county. Judge Boucher
heard arguments in a mandamus case
wherein patrons of school district en-
deavored to compel the board to hire
certain teacher. The board is opposed
to the teacher, and some Of the patrons
propose TO force the engagement of the
party. 1t is believed this is the first
case of its kind in the state, and the pc.
culiar condition will be watched with in
terest throughout South Dakota, and If
the patrons can compel the board to hire
the teacher under the provisions of the
school law, which were placed there
largely through the instrumentalities and
influences of the State Educational asso-
citation, there is no doubt an attempt will
be made to repeal or modify the law.

At Rest,

Little Helen Leta, infant child of Mr..
and Mrs. Pierce Byers, died Friday noon
August 10, 1910, after few days illness.
A short service was held at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. J. F. Sheehan
Sunday, at IL o'clock a. m., after which
the tiny casket was carried to the Con-
gregational church by four girls and laid
upon the communion table, embowered
in beautiful flowers. Brief funeral SER
vice was conducted by Rev. X. w.
Powell, who expressed the sympathy OF
all the many friends of the young par
ents in the loss of their frst-born, and
spoke of the touching coincidence of the
day of the baby's burial being that
chosen for her christening.
Many friends and relatives attended
the family to the cemetery, where the
little form was left sleeping beneath a
wreath of beautiful fowers-fitting en-
blems, in their frailty, of the little life
80 soon taken from Earth.

Join the Dry Farming Association.

BRooKINGs, S. D., Aug. %, 1910.
To the Farmers of Western South Da-
kota:
In organizing the Western South Da-
kota Dry Farming Association at the
Rapid City convention, we did SO il the
belief that the farmers who are depend
ing upon limited precipitation and sys-
tematic soil tiilage in the western section
Of our state were in need of, and would
appreciate the organized assistance and
education possible to secure thorough
organized effort.
The South Dakota organization will
cooperate with the International Dry
Farming Congress and the various de-
partments of the Agricultural College in
u directly educational campaign. We
wish to have every farmer interested in
this work enrolled as a member of the
organization, and cooperating with US
in this work.
Membership fee is one dollar and fifty

of this is sent to the International Dry
Farming Congress, and the "Dry Farm

year. The other seventy-five cents will
be retained by the Association to apply
on expenses of the organization.
We urge the reader if interested to
forward his membership promptly to
our state secretary, Mr.. j. l.. Soule of
Rapid City, that We may complete our
organization at once.
Let us put Western South Dakota on

Deep In the heart are old wounds that ache,
Hidden away from mortal sight.
That oft in the silent hours Of night

Out OF the gloom wherein we dwell,

No prayer ascends from our earthly hell.
We grope our way as the years go by,
With never a glimpse Of a light ahead,
But sweet oblivion comes to the dead,
And the end Of it all is looming nigh.
Then dig the grave where stream sings by.
Under the pines for our long last sleep,

Charleston, W. -fspecial)-A
the very beginning Of this campaign
the prediction was made that the fight
between the two big parties would be
started and waged for awhile, and
then abandoned by the Democratic
managers. on these three propositions:
Cd Opposition to the tax laws; (2)
Attack on the protective tarin policy,
charging the high cost of living to It;
(3) Charge the party in power in this
state with wastefnl extravaganza Of
the peoples money. That this predic-
ton has been fulfilled completely, per-
sons watchful Of the present political
panorama in West Virginia. and of
fair mind and equally poised iudg-
ment, will agree.
There is no studied plan Of that
Democratic attack on the Republican
stronghold being worked out now. 1t
has been abandoned by the campaign
managers of that party, and whatever
of these subjects is being put forward
amounts to desultory firing from
scattered troopers who have not heard
from headquarters that the original
plans OF campaign have been aban-
doned. When the Democratic generals
started out to make the three propo-
sitions mentioned above a paramount
triumvirate of issues. they walkedinto
q nicely set and finely adjusted trap.
When the spring snapped and they
were caught, they realized the pres
ence and preparedness OF the enemy
Each and every charge was met
promptly, with evidence overwheIm-
ingly convincing. and successfully
disproven to the entire satisfaction Of
the voting public.
They found their own candidates for
Congress trying to play pussy-in'the-
corner with the tarin issue, and run
ming for the cyclone cellars when such
questions were popped as: Would
YOU vote to take the tariff OF coal?
on timber? on glass and pottery:"
etc. They found this year, as in for
mer years, that West virginians are
favorable to the maintenance OF pro,
tective policy. recognizing and appre-
ciating that 1t has done more than
anything else to promote their indi-
vidual prosperity. and their States
