MiTCHELL'S ANNUAL EXPOSITION

Mitchclls annual corn palace this
year is scheduled for the week com
mencing September &c, closing Octo-
Der |. The corn palace is in a class
by itself and its prominence serves as
a state wide advertisement. There are
no finer agricultural exhibits to be
found anywhere, and the artistic ar
rangement of these, coupled with the
beautiful designs displayed in the de-
corations of the building, attracts the
attention of all classes from near and
far, and no one who has ever had the
privilege of viewing a freshly decorat-
ed corn palace, can go away without
the impression hal he has seen a
real art exhibit, a picture in natures
own colors.
Then there is the most wholesome
entertainment ever presented to a
crowd of people who are looking for
amusement and relaxation from every
day cares, a program that can always
be appreciated by every %teperament,
a restful performance under most
pleasing circumstances.
While we are not in possession OF
detail at this time, W. are informed
by members of the committee that
the 1910 corn palace will be superior
to anything yet attempted. We have
reason to believe from past experience
that any promise made in this respect
will be faithfully kept and that South
Dakota will have an exhibition at
Mitchell that will demonstrate all her
claims are based on facts, and that
this years products of her soil will
compare favorably with those Of other
and older states that have heretofore
laid claim to supremacy from an agri-
cultural standpoint. The people of
Mitchell have a right to- ask the CO.
operation Of the citizens of the state
for their corn belt exposition, for,
while it is supported in it's entirety
by the business men of that city, there
are few who are not willing to admit
that it is the strongest argument at.
tempted in support Of our claims that
South Dakota is getting into the front
ranks as a corn producer.

ARMY WORN BUSY.

The work of the army worms has
been watched with much interest the
past week. Many farmers have plOw-
ed around their fields and made the
post hole traps as advised by the col
lege expert. but no worms have been
trapped. 1t is reported that since
the rains the activity of the worms
has been greatly decreased. w. B
Denhart, who is a most careful OBJ.
server, asserts that grasshoppers are
doing more damage than the worms;
that they can be seen in the early
evening eating the heads Of the tend.
err grain. Grasshoppers are very nu-
merous this season and some at first
accredited them with doing the dam
age to the timothy that was later found
to be the work of the army
worms. However, the way the grain
is coming along it will soon be be-
yond the reach of anything but hail
and the harvester. Barley harvest
will be in full swing within a few days
and oats will be close upon the heels
OF barley.-White Leader.

LONG AUTO TRIP.

j. A. Roosevelt and family Of San
Antonio, Texas, spent a few hours In
Brookings Saturday evening. They are
making a tour Of the country in a
Knox auto, and ON their way home to
San Antonio will visit Denver, Salt
Lake CITY and various California
points, crossing the Rockies twice,
The big touring car was equipped with
almost everything that a motorist
would desire. Blankets, sleeping &C
commodations and an ice water tank
we're among the handy features Of the
car. The party were enthusiastic in
praise Of the car, which Is n OF the
high priced makes and the journey to

PUBLIC SCHOOL FUND.

With the permanent common school
fund of South Dakota reaching over
s., 900, 900, and only a small propor-
ton of the grand endowment of public
lands as yet touched in the way of
sales, the state has since its beginning
of statehood distributed 70 the common
schools and the various endowed edu-
cational Institutions of the state in
round numbers So, 900, 900, and of this
over $500, 900 was distributed among
the educational institutions of the
state for the first half of 1910, says a
Pierre dispatch. While the income de-
rived from the permanent fund was
small for many years, it is now grow
ing rapidly, through receipts Of inter
est from the increasing permanent
fund. and from the leases of state
lands. These leases, which went beg
gin for several years, especially in the
western half of the state. are now look
ed upon as something worth looking
after, and from this time Oh the an
nual distributions will show 4 heavier
increase every year. 1t will not be
many years before the state funds will
go a long way toward the support of
the common schools of the state, as
the distribution to this class of schools
during the first half of this year was
almost $500, 600, and another distribu-
ton will be made the last half of the
year which will increase it to over
5000, 600. In fact, some of the country
districts, where there is close pairing
on "education," are already getting
through their school year" on this
fund and are relieving themselves from
local taxation for school purposes, but
i. is not in such districts that the
searcher would look for any great ed.
vocational uplift.
BY far the largest part of the mon
ely distributed has gone to the public
schools, that branch of the education
al system of the state having received
$5,576,S50 of the fund, of which nearly
100000 went to them the first hall
OF this year. The various endowed
schools have received all told from
the state fund $34S,622. about $4,000
going to them for the first half o.
this year.
At the present rate Of increase II
the common school fund it will MOI
be many years until the receipts fol
distribution to the schools will reach
81 900, 900 a year, and when that time
comes local taxation for education
tricts.

HAY CROP SHORT.

The hay crop in this section is re-
ported to be very light and the price
of that commodity will probably be
away up in the clouds this fall and
winter. Last week 1t was worth SIS
a ton in Minneapolis. an almost un-
heard Of price at this time of the
year.

we remained the worlds bread-basket,
as the world is dependent up
on America for its supply of food. In
stead of building battleships, says DR..
Green, we should construct a merchant
marine, where We could gain greater
victories than in any war.
The closing program Sunday even ng
was given by Miss Elsie Brown, the

reader and entertainer as appeared
during the week. Miss Brown pleases

ated efforts.
Saturday evening Rev. | G. Frank
was scheduled to speak, but as he was
in charge of the chautauqua at Water
town his place was taken by Prof.
Voelker, the platform superintendent.
Prof. Voelker was greeted by a good
house and gave a most Interesting adj
dress on THE Master of Destiny" Dur
ing lis stay ne won many friends
here Who will I've glad to have him re-
turn again next year., as he promised.
The Oriole Trio furnished good mu-
sic during the last few days of the
chautauqua. The Trio consisted of a
whistler, a soprano and a reader. Miss
Alice Stire, the whistler, vas unusually
good and her efforts received merited
applause. Miss Smith, the soprano
had a sweet voice, possessing consid-
cradle range and Earl Winters, the
reader, proved to be a very good en-
tertainer.
Below We give a partial financial
staement of the c~hautauqua. as pre-
pared by Rev. Robinson, who tells us
that he will have the complete report
ready for publication next week. 1t
shows that Brookings came out very
we'll, considering that this was the first
~chautauqua, in fact, this city did bet
ter than any other town o. the South
dakota circuit. Watertown, Redfield
and Huron all lost money, some of
them heavily, and Bookings was the
only one of the four to pay it's talent
every dollar that was coming to them
before they left the city. The talent
was we'll pleased with its treatment
here and several Of the speakers re-
marked that the Brookings audiences
were the most appreciative in the
circuit.
