TANNED TIM SANE OEFIcEEs-.,
GROWTH Is SHOWN IN TtiE
REPORTS MADE.

With the adjournmen. OF the
| Woman's Foreign Missionary con-
ventlon Monday came to n close one
of the best conventions which the as
ISOLATION has held in years. The re-
ports OF the secretary indicated that
four new societies had been formed
in the past year and the statement
was made that with these four new
ones the Mitchell district stood as
the largest in the state. The in
formation brought from each branch
society showed that the work was
icing pushed forward in the best
possible manner, and, that a greater
interest was being evidenced every
where.
The bringing of Mrs. Lindsay, the
secretary of the Northwestern
branch, was much appreciated and
also the coming of Miss Jennie Hugh
res, the missionary from China, was
abundantly appreciated. Their
talks to the women served to make
them bend all the harder to their
tasks and gave them a stronger and
more thorough insight into what is
being accomplished by the sacrificing
ones across the water, and which al
so served to make them feel what
little sacrifices they were making on
this side.
The music that was furnished
throughout the convention was OF
a type that greatly pleased the dele
gates, and, among those who rem
.dered numbers wer Mrs. Hunter and
Mrs. Weir, Miss Hager, Miss john
son, and Miss Weddle. The Satur-
day evening program with Prof.
Skaaden in a pipe organ recital got
the keen appreciation of the dele
gates and they were enthusiastic ov-
er the singing on the same night of
Mrs. Weir and Mrs. Hunter, both OF
whom were in fine voice and present
ed some of their very best numbers.
The following election of officers
took place:
President, Mrs. G. E. vermilyea,
Mitchell.
Vice President, Mrs. L. R. Frs
kline, Mitchell.
Corresponding Secretary. Miss
Charlotte Carhart, Mitchell.

AN ILLEGITIMATE BUSINESS.

Il tsSef -aENE Ha 1rN
The public really does not need
any more evidence of the incontinent
G%earnings being made by the express
IcOmpanies. But if such were the
case. it would be supplied by inves.
tigation into the express business be-
ing made by the state of Minnesota.
The report of a recent hearing in
that state discloses the fact that the
Wells Fargo company, with a prop
erty investment of only $5,00O,0 900,
has assets of $33,000,OO0, includ-
ing $28, 10000 invested in bonds,
mortgages. notes, deposits and loans
lin banks. This $28, 900, 600 OF
course, represents profits already
made in addition to the very large
dividends declared by the company.
Not only is this the case, but the
evidence shows the company is rap
idly accumulating a still greater sur
plus.
G. w. Hillman, expert account
ant for the state, testified that If the
COMPANY should go out of the ex-
press business, it could still continue
to pay 2 per cent dividends upon it's
capital stock. 1t was further dis
closed that, although paying the rail-
road companies So per cent of its
receipts for performing the work of
transportation, the express COM
pany in question is earning no less
than 10 per cent on its investment.
II 1t were to pay the railroad COM
panies only 40 per cent as it used.
to do, the Wells Fargo would be able
to declare dividends of SO per cent
on Its investment in Minnesota.
Such figures have been before the
public for many years, and yet the
express companies are permitted to
go on earning inordinate returns.
This is the more insulting to the.
public when it is considered that
the express companies have no
to be engaged in business at
all. They constitute a commercial
abortion. They have no railroad
lines, no cars, no engines, yet they
enjoy all the advantages and privi-
leges Of a transportation company.
They s lines built by s%uffrance, or
virtual license. OF the public, and yet
they have always acted In utter cons
OF all the rights of the public.

years. after It should have been done.

vesting good crops.
The record u rainfall at Huron
acknowledgements United States gov
iernment station. for the three crop
growing months, May, June and
July, for the ten years from 1900 to
fflsOs. discloses interesting facts.
The average May rainfall for that
period was 3.21 inches; June, 4.29
Inches; and July, 2.S9 inches. This
iishaws that We may expect our heav-
Hest rains in the month of June. This
lis just as required, in order to store
1.-THE ground with moisture, against
the comparatively dry months of July
and August. Light spring rains are
SUFFICIENT to keep the crops growing
'uatil the midsummer months bring
the hot sun and perhaps drying
winds.
How we'll South Dakota compares
with Minnesota, a comparatively wet
state, in the matter of rainfall, is
shown by a comparison of the rec
.ords at Huron and st. Paul. The
average total rainfall at Huron for
the three crop-growing months, May,
June and July, for ten years, has
been 1899 inches; at st. Paul, it was
1888 inches. Statistics show that
from ten to eleven inches of rainfall
in the cr~op-growing months is an
abundance, and this is just what is
assured to South Dakota by the ac-
tual records. The variation in ten
years from the average has
been great enough to aus a crop
failure in the state.
LIS year cOHulllOuS are
ally favorable. Spring came in with
temperatures nearly normal. The
ground thawed early. giving the
farmers an opportunity to put it in
to the best condition known for
years. The seeding was done in
good time, and there have been three
nice rains. The result is that the
growing crops never looked better.
When the heavy rains of May and
June come along and fill the soil
with a storage of moisture, it will
be realized that South Dakota new
er had a better prospect for great
crop production than this year.

her mind on the automobile trip
which was to be made to Newark
Sunday morning where she would
board a LaCkawanna train for Os-

During the night she woke her
sister, saying she did not feel very
well. DR.. Clarence A. Hofer was
summoned and found the young
woman to be suffering from heart
trouble. He administered restora-

directing that a message be sent her

hit the ball, Is the original bean balI'
pitcher, according to Charley Doom.
Every time Suggs gets one or two
strikes on q batter and has the hitter
in the hole he shoots a fast ball
straight for the players head. Most
pitchers will waste a ball, but Doom
says that none use as wicked a shoot
and throw it in such a name that
the player cannot dodge.
Suggs figures that he has to keep
the players away from the plate when
he gets them in the hole, and a hitter
is taking an awful chance In standing
up close to the plate.
A Cincinnati player in discussing
this recently said; This fellow Suggs
is the SWEETEST bean ball" expert In
the land. Any time a fellow hits
George safely after he is In the hole
you can say that he is going some"
Suggs says that when he was with

heartedness and lost a chance to cut
