How To Cool a

Suburban Life: Ice is not a nee
essity in order to, secure cool water,
for water can be made sufficiently
cool for drinking purposes by put
ting it in a bottle or jug and wrap
ping a wooden rag around the latter,
then setting it in a shallow dish of
water and placing the whole outfit
in a cool place; if in a draft, all the
better. The principle involved is
found in the fact that when evapor-
alton takes place heat is given off.
The wooden rag absorbs the water
from the dish below. which is evap-
Grated from the rag, cooling the
water. If you have ever had alcohol
or ether on your hands, you will no
doubt have noticed how cool the
skin felt. That was because of the
evaporation of TIE liquid. YTae
faster il evaporates the cooler the
object gets.

PRAIRIE CHICKEN
AGAIN PLENTIFUL
Annual Reports OF State Game
Warden Shows Ban Has
Been Effective

Watertown, Aug. 6.-Showing
that the new South Dakota game
law has operated satisfactorily
during its first year ending on July
l., last, and that the newly created
department of game and fish has ac.
complished much more than was
expected by its friends, the first
annual report of the department has
been completed by state Game War
den w. F. Bancroft of this city and
will be transmitted to Governor
Vessey.
The report embodies Mr. Ban
crOft'S recommendations to the
next state legislature. Several
minor changes are desired by the
department, the defects having been
detected in the first years expert
ence. 1t is urged that the appoint
ing power of the county game
wardens be taken out of the hands
of the county commissioners and
either vested in the state game
warden, or be made an elective
office.
No mention is made of the prairie
chicken proposition in which the
spOrtsmen of the state now have the
greatest interest. The present law
ends the closed season next Scptem-
Der and the 1911 legislature must
make a new provision. Concerning
this Mr. Bancroft says;
After having sounded the senti,
ment of the sportSmen IN every sec.
ton Of the state | find there is 8
wide difference of opinion as to what
should be done. Hence | did not
take the matter up. will call {
meeting of the county game warden'
in Huron during the state fair anC
will extend the invitation to al
sportsmen who wish to be present
There we will thresh the matter ouI
and decide, if possible upon what
is best. ] think. however, that
chicken shooting will he permitted
in South Dakota during the fall of
1911, as the birds are plentiful
having increased very rapidly this
year. But it will be a short time
only, probably for fifteen days"

YIELD OF GRAIN
REACHES 20 Blu.
Some Fields I'm Hand County
Exceed Expectations

The threshing machine is begin
ming to tell the story of this years
crop-and ends all surmises as to the
yield.
1t is a mixed story. The crop is
more spotted than ever before
known, due to the dry season, and
the kind of ground sown.
The yields upon corn ground and
fall blowing are exceeding eXpecta-
tons. The poorest yields come from
new ground on which flax was raised
last year.
The first reports brought in We're
from Miller township. D.. M. Nc
Mahon got l58 bushels Of wheat per
acre on the Waters place south of
town. N. G.. Lowell received %
bushels on the Mccoy farm north of
town, the first was a 80 acre field
and the latter 60.
l.. Paisley on section 81. York
twp. got ISL bushels per acre.
Mr. WestfaIl, of Alpha twp, aver
aged 123 bushels of wheat. His corn
ground going II and his stubble

Preston HeltibridIe produced IS

Mr. Snake reports 80 bushels Of

The DAILY Bros. sec II Alpha twp.
report 81 bushels Of wheat to the

w. J. Thompson, N f 80, York
twp, produced 20 bushels per acre
on a 40 acre field. THIS was part
corn ground and part fall blowing.
Mr. Hedrick, Florence twp, reports
an average of Y bushels of wheat.
Geo. Livingston'S flax ground,
southeast of town, produced only 81
bushels per acre of wheat.
All of this years wheat is graded
No /. and will bring the highest
price.
If succeeding reports continue a.
mixed as these, Hand Co.'S average
would run close to II bushels. which
may be considered a very fair vielc
in a pO or year.

BIG COUNTY FAIR
Three Days Carnival and Large
Special Premiums Offered

Hand county will hold her annual
fair this year on the scheduled dates,
Sept. 8, 8, 10
The directors of the FAIR Associa-
ton held a business meeting Satur-
day to decide on the ACCESSIBILITY of
holding the fair this fall and were
united in the belief that it should be
held and that special efforts should
be put forth to make it a noticeable
success. The county fair is an insti-
tuition to show to neighborS as well
as strangers the possibilities of a
certain section, and this is the year
TO do the showing, the wear when
good farming has made a difference
of from five to ten bushels an acre
yield.
The premium list for the fair is
out and it offers unusually good in
ducementS to the exhibitor, besides
a number of special premiums that
have been offered by Miller business
men.
The fair management has secured
the services of a carnival company

WASHINGTON, March s.-Did Speak
er Cannon snub the president. or did
President Taft fool the speaker?
These two questions were for about
half an hour this afternoon uppermost
in the minds of several of Speaker Can
mons most intimate friends.
Just as the house adjourned Taft tel
ephoned to Cannon that he would drop
by the capitol in about 10 minutes and
take the speaker for ride in the White
House auto and that they would talk
over some important matters.
Cannon waited 25 minutes, but no
president or presidential turnout ap-
peared. Cannon had become so peevish
that he threw away almost a whole
stogie. Five minutes later Cannon
climbed aboard his own machine and
started home, leaving his messenger at
the capitol to tell the president that he
waited as long as he could. The last
heard of the messenger was still at the
capitol and Cannon was at home.

BOULEVARD SYSTEM
OF ROADS PLANNED
Chamber of Commerce Urges
Supervisors to Assist in
Large Project OF Highways

OAKLAND. March S.--A movement to
establish continuous chain of roads
to connect Oakland with the San Joa-
quin valley had its inception at the
meeting of the board of directors of
the chamber of commerce this after
noon, when it was voted to request the
board of supervisors to extend the foot
hill boulevard, from Hayward through
the Dublin canyon, a distance of about
seven miles.
This extension would serve as a con-
meeting link between Alameda county
and a proposed series of trunk roads
running from Contra Costa county into
the San Joaquin valley, and would COM
plete continuous system of good
roads, suitable 1or any kind Of traffic,
from the shores of San Francisco bay
to the fertile valleys of the interior
of the state. strong effort will be
made to secure the Endorsement of the
board of supervisors for the proposed
movement
w. l.. Gardiner resigned from the
board of directors at today's meeting,
giving as his reason an intention to
leave Oakland for Nevada on a business
venture. A. j. Snyder was elected to
succeed Gardiner. 1t was rumored that
the real reason for GARDENERS resigna
tion was a difference of opinion which
had arisen between the chamber of
commerce directors and the progress
and prosperity committee, of which he
is "a charter member.

MONSTER TURTLES
ATTACK STEAMER
Liner Encounters School of Ar
mOred Foes and Hull Is
Badly Dented
[ Special Dispatch 10 The Call

GALVESTON, Tex. March s.-The
palatial steamship Brazos of the NAL
lory line, on what is presumed to be
It's last voyage this season from New
York. had a narrow escape from de-
struction, or at least serious damage,
by school of monster turtles. many
of them weighing nearly 1000 pounds
each and few less than 500 pounds.
The vessel was steaming down the
Florida coast when the sea appeared
alive with turtles whose extraordinary
size at once attracted attention. The
vessel was held to it's course. but,
striking the army of armored foes, was
forced to slow down and finally change
its course TO get around the monsters,
which appeared bent on attacking the
ship.
In attempting to drive through the
mass of hard shells, the bow of the
Brazos cut into several of the biggest
of the animals and they remained hard
fast on the hull of the vessel for several
hours. Failing TO wash off and inter
fering with the speed the Brazos lay to
and sailors had to be let down over
the sides to cut away the shelled re-
mains.
Captain Evans says that he never
saw such monster turtles in many
years experience at sea. Many deep
indentations in the hull of the vessel
tell the story of the close call.

RECORD AUTO TRIP
HALF COMPLETED
New Workers Travel More Than
1000 Miles In Machine to
Reach Here

One of the longest automobile jaunts
ever undertaken was half completed
yesterday when a party of Saratoga,
hotel last night after having Travelled
more than 1000 miles. In the party
are Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Hanson and
then son, Walter l. Hanson. Hanson
was for 20 years q prominent figure in
Wall street, and the trip was taken
because of the i'll health of Walter
the son, who is Is years old.
Numerous extraordinary experiences
were encountered on the journey. The
party was lost for four days in the
Arizona desert, and searching parties
were sent out to find them. One of tie
relief posses was forced back to Phoe-
nix by a sandstorm and word was tele-
graphed back to Saratoga that the
party was organized and succeeded in
locating the motorists far from the
regular route but in the best of health.
In Louisiana Hanson was held up
by farmers, who refused to allow the
auto to pass through the country. 1t
was necessary to return to the nearest
town and secure the services of a
deputy sheriff before the farmers re-
Tented and allowed the pestiferous
gasoline propelled machine to pass on.
Leaving Saratoga November g.. the
party visited New York, Washington
Richmond, Atlanta, New Orleans, San
Antonio, FL Paso, Tucson, Phoenix and
Los Angeles. The worst road encoun-
tered lay between Montgomery, Ala,
and Meridian, Miss, stretch of 50
miles of mud and swamp. This is the
first time, Hanson said last night, that
an automobile has ever gone over that
territory. The roads in Texas are
good, he said, and the machine was
able to make fast time. The desert
was hard on the tires.
Altogether As running days were
passed in the trip, stops being made
whenever the party found a congenial
spot.
Hanson expects to rest in this city
for three weeks and then begin the
homeward journey via the north trail.
