a Proclamation

Executive Chambers, Pierre S. ID,
Thus far the season Of 1910, through
out the central and western states,
has been one of exceptional drouth,
IN consequence of which the hay crop
together with that of the various
small grains will. in those states, be
quite materially shortened.
AS year follows year we realize
more and more that South Dakota
lies we'll within the corn belt and that
the corn crop is one of her most val
liable resources. The good year 1909
gave us greater yield of corn than
we have ever had before in the his
tory of the state, and during the
present year corn has thrived and un-
doubtedly will be the most substan-
tial crop of the season.
| am convinced that the careful
following of modern scientific meth
ods will secure for us in the coming
year magnificent corn yield, far sur
passing that of any previous year.
The first essential Of success in corn
culture is, Of course, the selection of
good seed, and, and realizing the i'm
portance Of securing seed before the
coming of frost, hereby proclaim
September 8 and 10, A. ID. 1910. rs
SEED CORN SELECTION DAYS.
and would urgently request that all
of our farmers go into their corn
fields on those days and carefully and
Judiciously select the best ears for
seed for the coming year. BY so doing
the corn crop for the succeeding year
will be materially increased
In testimony whereof, l have here
unto set my hand and caused to be
affixed the Great Seal of the State of
South Dakota.
Done at the Capitol in Pierre this
10th day Of August, A. d. 1910.
r. S. VEssEY, Governor.
(sEAL) BY the Governor:
Attest:
SAMUEL G. POLICY,
Secretary Of State.

THE LION THAT CHARGED
Mr.. ROOSEVELT
A Thrilling Episode in His
New Book

The lion stopped and lay down be-
hind a bush: jumping off l took shot
at him at two hundred yards, but only
wounded him slightlyin one paw; and
after a moments sullen hesitation off
he went lashing his TAIL We mounted
our horses and went after him; Tarl-
ton lost sight of him, but l marked
him lying down behind low grassy
ant-hill. Again we dismounted at
distance of two hundred yards; Tarl-
ton telling me that now he was sure
to charge. In all East Africa there
is no man, not even Cuninghame him
self, whom | would rather have by
me than Tarlton. if in difficulties
with charging lion; on this occasion
however, | am glad to say that his
rifle was badly sighted, and shot al
together too low.
Again l knelt and fired; but the
mass of hair on the lion made me
think he was nearer than he was, and
undershot, inficting a flesh wound
that was neither crippling nor fatal.
He was already grunting savagely and
tossing his tail erect, with his head
held low; and at the shot the great
sinewy beast came toward us with
the speed of greyhound. Tarlton
then, very properly, fired, for lion
hunting is no child's play, and it is
not good to run risks Ordinarily it
is very mean thing to experience
JOY at friends miss; but this was
not an ordigary case, and felt keen
delight when the bullet from the
badly sighted rifle missed, striking
the ground many yards short. 1 was
sighting carefully, from my knee, and
| knew | had the lion all right; for
though he galloped at great pace,
he came on steadily-ears laid back,
and uttering terrific coughing grunts
land thcre4was now no question of
making allowance for distance, nor,
as lie was out in the open, for the
fact that he had not before been dis
tinctly visible. The bead of my fore
sight was exactly on the centre of his
chest as pressed the trigger, and
the bullet went as true as If the place
had been plotted with dividers The
blow brought him up all standing,
and he fell forward on his head. The
soft-nosed Winchester bullet had gone
straight through the chest cavity
smashing the lungs and tho hio blood
vessels of the heart. Painfully he re-
covered his feet, and tried to come on
his ferocious courage holding out to
the last.
From Theodore Roosevelt's forth
coming book, "African Game Trails,''
to be published in August by Charles
Scribner's Sons.

Cashes Bad Checks and
Leaves

Grover Lane, young man who has
worked around this city as clothes
presses. cashed several checks at the
local business houses after banking
hours last Saturday and left for parts
unknown. 1t is reported that he
realized several hundred dollars but
it is likely that $lOO is nearer the
figure.
The young man had been in this
city for several months and had made
many friends, but it seems that he
had been in similar trouble before.
1t is reported that he had been living
fast life and that one of the girls in
a house of disrepute left with him.
1t is also reported that he has been
located in the east and warrant has
been issued for his arrest.

Join the Dry Farming AS
SOciatiOn

To the Farmers of Western South
Dakota:
In organizing the Western South
Dakota Dry Farming Association at
the Rapid City convention, we did so
in the belief that the farmers who
are depending upon limited precipita-
tion and systematic soil tillage in the
western section of our state were in
need of, and would appreciate the or
ganiZed assistance and education
possible to secure thorough organized
effort.
The South Dakota organization
will cooperate with the international
Dry Farming Congress and with the
various departments Of the Agricul-
tural College in directly educational
campaign. We wish to have every
farmer interested in this subject en-
rolled as member of the organiza-
tion, and cooperating with us in the
work.
Membership fee for one year is one
dollar and fifty cents. Seventy-tve
cents OF this is sent to the Interna-
tional Dry Farming Congress and the
"Dry Farming Bulletin regular
monthly journal on dry farming. with
one page of South Dakota matter
will be forwarded to each member for
one year. The other seventy-fiye
cents will be retained by the associa-
tion to apply on expenses of the or
ganization.
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 the map as one of the best farm
ing sections of the world.
Yours very truly,

Smoke Obscures the Sun

A heavy smoke came out of the
west and north last Sunday morning
completely hiding the sun. The
smoke lay close to the ground and
there were many complaints of it
affecting the eyes. From all reports
1t has extended to the Mississippi
river 1t is probable that it came
from the fire in the Couer d. Alene
district where forest fires have been
ranging for several weeks.

The Picture Plan.

u S Gregory, sheriff for fourteen
years, and candidate for at least four
years more, has branched out into a
new method of trying to win votes.
He has had several thousand litho-
graphic pictures of himself struck off
in San Francisco, a portion on card
board and the rest on paper and
mounted on cardboard, after the fash
ion of Hiram Johnson, who made such
whirlwind canvass for the republican
nomination for governor, aud who was
not personally acquainted with one in
thousand of the voters. 1t is argued
that il the plan worked so charmingly
in the larger field, why not equally as
we'll in the more restricted field of Am
ador county. So the pictures of ~ 5
Gregory. regular democratic nominee
for sheriff, " and late aspirant for the
republican nomination as well by the
circular and stump speech route, are
being sown broadcast over the county,
the larger one for ornamental purposes
in show windows, etc., and the others
for distribution as introduction cam
paign cards The pretty picture bust
ness is a happy inspiration, and will
make the sheriff familiar to the thous-
ands of voters to whom he is person
ally a stranger. This move is being
commented upon throughout the county
in various ways. Some are inquiring
if the original is ''stuck on himself, "
if the pictures are to convey the idea
that after so many years in office he is
no longer able to get around as for
merly to make personal campaign
some go as far as to ask whether he is
getting "valn and foolish with increas-
ing years. Anyhow the Ledger office
acknowledges a valuable addition to its
art gallery.

as spry as many not half that age. He
arrived In Jackson 60 years ago this
month, and has been here ever since.
He wanted the supervisors to put up
for his trip to the big show, but the
board could not see it as county
charge; so the Native Sons started a
list and raised the necessary funds.
He went down attired in genuine 40
toggery with pistol and knife and var
ious other ancient trappings. Further
more he went alone.
