BEADj-E DAY.

Friday. January Fl has been desig-
mated as "Beadle Day" in all the
schools of South Dakota, and it is de-
sired that every school render a pa
troitic program in honor Of General
w. H. H. Beadle, the man who saved
the state school fund from pecula-
tion and waste. 1t Is also desired that
on that day tags be sold in the coun-
try schools, end in the city schools
the next day, for the purpose of rails
ing the money necessary to buy and
place in the new capitol building a
life size marble statue of, General
Beadle. The tags will be sold at any
price the purchaser desires to give,
but 1t. is thought that about five cents
from every school child will provide
the necessary sum. State Superinten-
dent Ustrud is chairman and Governor
vessey treasurer of the commit, in
charge Of the movement.

Mr. Vail thought little of the mes
sage on the stone tablet thinking that
II there ever we're any papers 100
feet north and 100 feet west" that
they would have long since decayed,
as the tablet bore the date OF 1912.
However, as he was prospecting in the
direction indicated, he measured the
distance and was surprised to dig up
some animals thigh bone containing a
sheet of parchment Sx12 inches In
size. The bone was plugged at both
ends and the parchment is we'll pre-
served.
The discovcrer will not divulge the
exact wording of the matter contained
on the closely written piece Of parch-
ment, only that it pertains to a land
grant in Alabama made by the feder-
al government to one Pierre LaMour.
The parchment is dated 1888.
This may sound 'fishy' and realize
that 1t smacks some Of ghost story"
said Mr.. Vail, "but If any one doubts
the facts I can show him the skele-
tons and the tablet and will let him
look at the parchment II am sure Ne
can't read French. No one but my
self is going to know what is on that
parchment until can get time to go
to Alabama and see just what there is
to It,"

weeks. Date of closing will be an
nounced about two weeks in advance
The right to postpone the date oi
closing for efficient cause is reserved
About two weeks previous to the
day Of closing. the judges are to take
the ballot box, carefully sealed, to
bank where it will be kept during
business hours and in the vault at
night until the close OF the contest
when the awarding committee takes
charge and make final count.
During the last two weeks, voting
may be done in the sealed box at the
bank If secrecy is desired in voting
place your subscription together with
votes and coupons in sealed envel-
ope with name of contestant on same
and deposit in box. Envelopes and
subscription blanks will be furnished
for the purpose. This guarantees a
square deal to all concerned.
The result of the last weeks vote
shows that all of the leading con-
testants made substc ntial gains. Miss
Nina Wood Is again at the top in Dis
trict No. /, with Miss Louise Magi-
stad, last weeks leader, in second
place. Miss Alma Glndeman in third
place, is close at the heels of the
leaders, and had she secured anoth-
er prize offer of ter thousand votes
she would have been very close to
the top.
One of the surprises of the week
was the Zig jump made In the vote
of Miss Mary Boyd, whose friends
rallied to her aid and helped her Sc
cure the big special ten thousand
extra vote prize Miss Ellen Biggar
is another contestant in this district
who made substantial gain, and had
she secured the ten thousand vote
prize it would have landed her in
fourth place.
In the country the contestants have
put in some good work, AMI from now
on until the finish the fight promises
to be as interesting as the one in
Brookir gs city. Miss Ethel Garfield
of Trenton, is this weeks leader, with
Madge Wilson of Bushnell, who was
at the top last week, in second place.
Miss Garfield has nearly doubled her
vote over last week, and nearly every
one of the other contestants has made
a good gain.
1t will be noticed that some in both
districts did not take advantage of
the big offer cf ten thousand extra
free votes, and undoubtedly their
friends were solicited by others. But
they should not lose heart, as the
offer we make this week of nine
thousand extra free votes is grand
opportunity for them to make up lost
ground and gain On the leaders. The
contestants in both city and country
are so closely punched that it is any
body's race, and the ones at the bot
tom now may head the list when the
votes are all counted. Eternal hust-
ling is the Price of victory" should
be the motto of every contestant from
now until the last hour of the con-
test. Following is the vote:

Tomorrow, on the University Of
California tennis courts, the State
championship tournament will start
up. ana although Miss May Sutton
will not be on hand, Miss Hazel
lIotchkiss will be playing. Miss
Sutton wrote the committee saying
that she could not be present during
the tournament, but that she would
be on hand at Del Monte in Septem-
Der and that she would meet Miss
Hotchkiss. says the S. +. Call OF
August 10.
Mrs. Coulter, the Hawaiian cham
pion lady player, will be present,
and II is thought that Miss Hotch-
kiss will have some trouble IN dis.
posing of the Honolulu player, who
from all accounts is playing good
tennis on the Coast.
Miss Coda Meyer Is another lady
player who is doing good work on
the courts. and although she has
been defeated several times by Miss
Hotchkiss, she is conceded to still
have a chance against the only play,
err who seems able to extend May
