The greatest aviation meet i'm
the west will be featured at the
coming South Dakota State Fair.
The Curtiss flyers have been Sc
cured at great price and will soar
high above the grounds every day
during the Fair. The manage
ment is making a great effort to
secure the famous Lincoln Beechy.
whose recent flight over Niagara
Falls was the sensation of the
year. Beechy is one of the most
daring bird men in the world-he
flies over mountains and anywhere.
high in the air, beyond the sight
of man.
The Curtiss people have inspect
ed the grounds and estimate that
nothing should hinder them from
making mountaineering flights
and this they are planning to do.
For real daring and sensational in
terest, nothing can compete with
this feature.
Nothing is too good or too ex-
pensiye for South Dakata. and the
very fact that this feature will he
presented at our Fair places the
South Dakota fair among the few
great expositions at the top of the
list. The great reputation of the
Curtiss flyers limits their opera
tions to the greatest fairs only.
On Monday, the first day of
the fair. there will he an exciting
race between the aeroplane and
an automobile. No one can afford
to miss this contest between land
and air locomotion. The educa-
tional value of this aviation meet
can not be overestimated, and not
to see it is to sustain tremen-
dous loss.

of Mr. and Mrs Il d Carter and

Official Pamphlet.
At the elections of 1908 and 1910,
the secretary Of state was required
to print and mail to every registered
voter pamphlet giving the full text
of every measure to be voted ON, with
arguments submitted and paid for by
those supporting and opposing the
several measures. There We're 1913
pages in the pamphlet OF 1908 and 20S
pages in that of 1910.
State Cost of System.
The total cost to the state for post
age. printing, binding and distribu-
ton of the pamphlet of thirty-meas-
ures and arguments to every register
ed voted in the state in 1910 was less
than twenty cents for each register
ed voter The total cost to the state
for the initiative and referendum in
the past four elections on siXty-four
measures was $47,610.61
Cost to Organizations
The cost to the seventy-one private
organizations for conducting their ed

the measures, spent almost wholly for
postage. printing and preparation of
measures, is estimated at 1925, 900.
Electors Voting on Measures
The smallest vote cast in the eight
years was 70.72G on a local measure
in 1908, being 63 per cent of the high

not vote on measures that they think
they do not understand, though many

of the legislature, believe that the
percentage of voters who carefully

who read every one of the five hun

In what are called the Stun districts

is commonly a comparatively small
percentage of the vote for officers.

Educational Effects
The people are giving more and
more attention to the measures sub

London. June 22-On this day of the crowning of George V, King of the limited Kingdom of Great Britain, Ireland and British dominons beyond the seas nothing has been wanting to make the solemn and impressive ceremony one hong to be remembered not only through out the country, but in every corner of the great empire.
 Never in history has the imperial note been struck in such a magnificent man. |ner. Its imperial aspect undoubtedly has been the most remarkable feature of the
 coronation.
 George V, more than any sovereign of
 the past, represents the embodiment of
 the imperial idea.
 He only of all his predecessors on the
 throne travelled through his vast domin-
 hand with the needs and aspirations of
 all the various peoples on his empire. Then by happy coincidence the inn
 perial conference sitting at the time of the coronation enabled all tho repre-
 sentatives of the Kings over seas do-
 minions to participate n the significant
 ceremony at the opening of the new reign, which, if the hopes of those at
 tending the conference bear fruit. will
 bring all parts of the empire into closet and more intimate relations.
 The great state pageant was carried through with dignity and impressive ness and made deep impression upon
 all those privileged to witness 1t, and
 it was accompanied by an outburst of loyalty throughout the kingdom thai
 might appear surprising at a period in the worlds history when thrones no longer appear to be established on the surest foundations.
 The remotest suburbs of the great city and every village in the land tonight gave evidence of devotion and loyalty to the throne. Not the humb- lest home but what displayed flag or illuminated device, portraits of the King and Queen and a loyal motto. The stirring ey ents of the day were carried through without hitch or seri- ous accident of any kind The weather was less favorable than had been hoped for, but even that had its compensatine advantages, so there was practically nc need of the services of ambulances foi cases of fainting or exhautsion which are commonly attendant upon such oc- casions in hot sunshine.

King Is Crowned

| London, June 22.-King George V, eighth | King of the House of Hanover, was to- day consecrated to the service of the British empire and in turn received the public homage of his worldwide subjects. With. his consort, Queen Mary, his majes- ty was crowned in the abbey of West minister with all the wealth of religious rites and royal ceremonial prescribed by historic custom.
 l The picture within the gray walled ab hey was one of medieval splendor. The coronation services, solemn and imposing were those handed down from the earlier centuries and the actors in the principal and secondary roles of the great function today were garbed in reproduction of the | multi-colored gold embroidered trappngs worn by their ancestors.
 Outside, the usually dull streets had been transformed into a mass of color. The King and Queens progress to the abbey and the return to Buckingham pal l ace was one unbroiSen ovation. The ! route was hedged with a vast polyglot host with a background of bravely dec orated viewing stands and windows and roofs, all of which were crammed to their ! capacity.
 | Hundreds of thousands of spectators l shouted themselves hoarse at central points like the Mall and the entrance to the admiralty archway where the gov l l sands Trafalgar square was so dense ly packed that it would have been pos sible to traverse the square walking on the heads of people. Parliament square, Clubland and Constitution hill held their countless thousands.
 The tumult of thunderous welcome was almost deafening as the King and Queen passed on the outward and home jour neys preceded in the first instance and followed on the return by stately, su- perb cavalcade of eminent princes, many themselves heirs to thrones, statesmen diplomats, courtiers, soldiers, sailors and men of all hues races and creeds from the four quarters ot the globe.
