SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
TO HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS

The South Dakota State College
announces that its department of
Commercial Science offers for next
year a special Secretarial Course for
high school graduates. This course
is intended to serve those graduates
of our high schools who cannot take
regular college course, but who
would avail themselves of such an
opportunity to secure thorough
training to prepare themselves for
secretarial work or business. The
course we offer is a combination OF
the work of the freshman year in
| college and the cream of the course
in Commercial Science.
With the modern advances in of.
flee practice and methods in com.
mercial correspondence, the demands
upon the private stenographer are
such that he must be more than e
mere amanuensis; he must be more
than mechanical device for turning
out letters. The responsibilities
thrust upon him are of such a ma.
ture that he must have thorough
secretarial training, which cannot be
obtained in the average business
college. He must be trained to dc
Independent thinking. He must have
self confidence. He must be able
to shoulder responsibility. The stem
ographer who fills these require
ments has no obstacles in the road
to success. The business world is
fairly crying out for efficient office
help, and 1t is willing to pay the
price for what it wants. The secre.
tary or first-class stenographer is the
first man in the office to receive pro.
motions. Why? Because through
the daily handling of correspondence
he knows more than any other en-
ploye the inside of the business

PRESS RAWLINGS
FROM RAPID CITY


The Rapid City cilica sand, which
has recently been tested when mix
ed with concrete for building pur-
poses, shows that the sand is excel
lent for both plastering and the
coarser work. Manager Walter
DAWN is more than pleased with the
sand tests made for the local sand
company.
Game Warden Raken's friends are
circulating petition for his reap
pointment. His activity in office has
won him the support of a majority
of the local citizens.
The city commissioners have in
structed the chief of police to order
all fences removed from the city
parkings and to attend to the clear
ing of all distractions to the streets.
Complaints have been coming in for
some time and the city officials
mean to enforce the ordinances.
Col. ]. B. Geddes, ex-commandant
of the Soldiers Home at Hot
Springs, passed through Rapid yes

Philadelphia, April Sra
Thomas, the best catcher Connie
Mack has on his worlds champion
Athletics, is striking example Of
what determination and confidence
can do! When with the New York
Americans Thomas was but second
rater and was let go. This action
stung him to the quick. and when
given his Philadelphia berth he re-
solved to become the best catcher IN
the American league. He is rap
idly nearing the attainment of that
proud distinction.

FIRE CONDITIONS
LACKING IN CHICAGO

Chicago. April 4.-vigilance 10
prevent such a fire horror as that in
New York is lacking in Chicago un-
der the political control of the build
ing department and the same fac1
is believed to be true in nearly ev,
cry city in the country, according
to reports to the League for Public
Safety. Hundreds of women and
girls have been found working IN
Chicago buildings at all hours in the
evening, while oil outside doors
were locked securely and the cor
ridors of the building dark.
In case of fire a panic would re-
suit, and women and girls would I've
trampled to death in the rush of the
panic stricken workers through the
unlighted halls, it is declared. And
/ those fortunate enough to reach the
main floor would find their escape
cut off by the locked doors.
During the last year the state In
spectors found 400 factories and
buildings in Chicago without ade-
| quate fire escapes and buildings
where fire escape exits were block
ed. The fact that the federal build
ing, which covers an entire block
and houses nearly 1000 workers, is
not equipped with single fire e.
| cape, was brought to the attention of
! the state and city authorities.
1t was declared that they had NO
jurisdiction over the government
building. Without some active or
ganization to prod officials into &C.
tivity and to expose menacing con-
ditions the present political system
of the cities is said to discourage
rather than encourage vigor and ac-
tivity by building inspectors. 1t was
found that no less than 1000 build
ings without adequate fire escapes
were needing attention in Chicago
and the only result of the appalling
loss of life through similar condi-
lions as in New York was threay
by Commissioner Campbell to close
two buildings if fire escapes were
not installed. Regarding the 1898
other buildings he has not spoken.

WEDDING RATHER
AN ODD CEREMONY

Washington, Pa, April 5.-Miss
Eleanor Acheson Linton, daughter
of Professor and Mrs. Edwin Lin
ton of East Maiden street, and DR..
Eliot Round Clark, member of the
faculty of Johns Hopkins university,
Balitomore, Md, were married at
the home of the bride amid most
unusual surroundings.
One week before the date set for
the marriage the bride-to-be was
stricken with scarlet fever and the
Linton home was placed under quar-
antine. DR.. Clark, summoned by
wire, at once came and took charge
of the case. When it was seen that
Miss Linton was showing rapid i'm
provement it was determined that
the wedding should be carried out
on the date originally planned.
The wedding ceremony in the
quarantined home was in direct
charge of DR.. ]. Y. Scott, the family
physician. He secured a large sup
ply of hospital gowns and antisep-
tics, and the officiating clergyman,
the Rev. James D. Moffat, D. D., and
the other members of the wedding
party donned the antiseptic gar
ments before entering. Immediately
after the ceremony all those pres
ent submitted to the most modern
method Of antiseptic treatment be-
fore leaving the house.
The bride is a social leader here,
and it was planned to make the we'd
ding one of the big events of the
early spring season. AS soon as
Mrs. Clark has fully recovered and
the quarantine 'on the house has
been lifted the couple will go
abroad to spend several months at
the Munich university in Germany,
where both Mr.. and Mrs. Clark ex-
pect to pursue special postgraduate
courses in medicine.

/ CORN ACREAGE
| WILL INCREASE

Huron, S. d., April 5.-Soil con-
ditiOns are not SO favorable for farm
work as last season, but there is no
complaint. There is ample moisture
in most places for the proper prep
aration of fields for seeding. Tho
snowfall of the past winter was UNI
usually light and there were no
heavy fall rains. The precipitation.
however. was we'll distributed, and
with the moisture from melting snow
penetrated the earth and was enough
ton for spring work. Fair wealth
or during February permitted farm
ers to be afield early; but little ii
any seeding was done, till the Sec
ond week in March, except, possibly,
on high ground. From strong to
high winds prevailed most Of the
present month, and for that reason
seeding has not advanced rapidly
Rain, followed by a liberal fall of
snow on the Goth was very welcome;
it covered this section of the state
and was followed by copious showers
the night of the 23th
More than the usual amount of
blowing was done last fall, and disc
ing Of corn ground for small grain
sowing began early. Much of the
seeding up to this time has been
done on land planted to corn last
year. Not a few farmers contem-
plate breaking large acreage which
will be sown to flax If seed can be
had.
1t is too early to accurately esti-
mate the different crop acreage. Ev-
erything depends upon climatic con-
ditions. 1t is safe to predict-based
on statements by farmers-that the
acreage to wheat, oats, barley and
rye will be about the same as last
year, with possibly a small increase
in wheat.
1t is more than likely that the

year quite noticeably; this is due to
the fact that no small attention is
being given to the study of this crop
by farmers generally; they are ma
king Investigations as to seed and
preparation of soil, and the result of
their study is likely to be shown in
the present years crop.
Comparatively little attention has
heretofore been given to growing OF
alfalfa by farmers in this part of the
state. Now, however, they are quite
enthusiastic over this crop and the
present season will see a multitude
of alfalfa fields in this part of the
Jim river valley. While farmers in
this section are welded to wheat and
corn as their favorite crops, they are
not inclined to allow these to monop-
Ollie all their lands, but will SOW
other small grain and thus reap re-
wards from each particular crop.
So far as known there is no scare
ity of grain for seeding in this part
of the state, and there is also plenty
OF farm help.

! THE PLANTING
OF SPRING TREES
Few Farmers Who Can Afford t.
BE Without Them.

40 WtnOuI lncm.
There are few farmers who can
afford to be without plantation
Of forest trees in some form or 9th
er; q grove, wind-break or orna,
mental planting.
No man whose homestead is bar
rem Of trees knows the privacy and
comfort OF a secluded home. In
summer. life is confined to the swell
tering house. instead of overflowins
into the quiet shade of a well-pro-
tected lawn; in winter, the unbrok
swamp Of the wind across the tree
less prairie destroys the comfort of
the house and makes trip to the
barn something to be dreaded. IL
further cuts off his children from
knowledge of that phase of nature
which thrives in the well-planted
yard, but is impossible in a barren
stretch of prairie. That may seem
insignificant; but the home-surround-
ings of child mean much in his
future life. The home should be
made attractive in every possible
way and no way is more effective
than the proper grouping of trees
and shrubs about the house.
Nor do the benefits of such plan
tations end with the aesthetic eff
feet and the added comforts of life.
1t is possible to put them in useful
form. The wind-break is of definite
value to the protected crops. Exact
measurements are now being made
of tbs benefit; and, when the re-
suits are published, many present
doubter will be protecting every field
in this way. The importing of the
wood-lot is also on the increase,
with the increasing price of lumber,
the labor and care put into it's man
aSement will be we'll paid by the
production of saw-logs, as we'll as
of fuel and repair stock. Nor is the
day far distant when the supply of
cedar fence-posts will be thing
of the past, and the wood-lot will
furnish all the posts needed on the
farm.
If you are planning to do any of
this planting this spring-and why
should you delay it? Now is the
time to make your preparations.
You should order your stock at once
that there may be no delay, ana
have it on hand that the planting
may be done before the growth has
started.
The following list may aid in the
selection of species:
White or golden willow, Carolina
or Norway poplar, evergreen, Black
Hills or Norway spruce, balsam, red
cedar.
For Groves-Deciduous, red oak,
elm, green ash, black locust, rock
elm, soft maple, white willow, Nor
way poplar, evergreen, white pine,
jack pine, Norway spruce.
For Ornamental Planting-Deci-
duous, white elm, blackberry, bass
wood, hard maple, white oak, noun
tain sh, European birch evergreen,
Norway spruce, white pine, Colorado
blue spruce, balsam, red cedar.
There are many others which
might be added, but might not sue
coed. Those in the list are hardy,
and should be certain. Do not for
get, no matter what the nature of
the planting, that trees, like every
thing else, do better when cultivat-
ed. Leave room for the plow, and
when you have the room, use it.

New York, April benjamin ID
Greene is enjoying his first week in
nine years in New York this week,
following his release from federal
prison at Atlanta while his partner,
John F. Gaynor, is in the north part
of the state, having just been freed
from the same penitentiary after
serving four years for defrauding the
government.
My means and my ambitions are
on his arrival here. "a little place
in the country, two or three dogs and
some books; that's all there really is

Greene says Gaynor will join him
here in a fe> days. They expected

said, but Gaynor's lawyers were not
able to attend the proceedings at

per's oath was released from obliga-
ton to serve longer in default Of
payment of the fine of $560,000 i'm
