In personal conversations, ma.
tional committeeman of the two
parties, republican and demo-
cratic, declare that they do not
believe that the attendance at the
national conventions next year
will be nearly so large as that in
the past. They base their pre-
dictions, they add, on the fact
that in nearly all the states rail-
road passes have gone out and
that delegates must now pay
their own railroad expenses, and,
of course, visitors must do the
same. At national conventions
within the past Is years dele
gates and their followers have
been provided with punches Of
railroad passes and all sorts of
perquisites. All this has passed
away.

Special Meeting

There will be special meeting of the
school board of district No. % at St.
lgnatius, Mont. on July 9Th, at II
O'Clock at the school house. The ques-
ton of establishing more schools will
be taken up then and the board would
like to have committee present from
each section of the district that has, or
wishes, to put in petition for school.
There likely can not be schools start
ed at all places when they are wanted
but we will do the best we can with
what money we have. 1t is our inten.
ton to give all parts of the district
schools as soon as possible.
At present there can be no school
houses built and all that the board can
do will be to furnish teachers and the
patrons of each school will have to
furnish the building. This question
will be fully explained at the meeting.

The Clever Shoe Clerk.

At the cost of considerable time and
labor one high grade shoe house Is
bound to protect its goods. On rainy
day a woman wearing wet shoes went
in to buy rubbers. The clerk meas
ured the width and length Of her
shoes, removed them and brought 4
new pair Of the same size to try on.
Visions of depleted pocketbook caus-
ed her to eXclaim. But don't want
new shoes, only rubbers.'
II understand" said the clerk. II
am only slipping these shoes on to fit
the rubbers over. 1t soils the inside
Of rubber to slip it on over a wet
shoe. Then If it doesn't fit and the
customer doesn't take it 1t is spoiled
for the next customer"
"And the outcome of that expert
ence was" said the woman, that
bought the shoes as well as the rub

The Waste Of tho Wind,

Every one who wants a cheap mo-
tive force has tried to harness the
wind. Every child has made paper
propeller or windmill. But can 1t be
said that the possible uses Of the wind
have been rs arduously investigated
as such recently discovered forces as
steam and electricity and gases? Is it
not conceivable that the practical uses
Of the wind are unlerestimated Just
because they are so familiar?
We cannot help thinking that the
wind will be more variousy employed
some day in the same way that prob
ably the problem Of laying under con-
tributlon the great physical fact Of the
tides will be solved. One would think
that the wind could be used for cleo.
trio lighting, yet there is no practical
apparatus for the purpose. True, the
wind is variable and occasionally alb
sent. but as electricity can be stored
one might suppose that this was the
very case in which variability did not
particularly matter.-Iondon Specta.

and therefore can and does sympathizc
with Johns wife. Just what time it
was when John came in the other
morning deponent knVweth not, but
certainly it was no sol3 of time for a
married man to be getting home, and
his wife told him so. though he knew
1t perfectly well without being told.
Next morning after John had gone to
his office his wife called up the other
woman on the telephone and told
about John. The other woman was all
sympathy. and what the two had to
say about the kind of husband John
was was more than plenty. In the
thick Of It friend Of Johns got on the

there was sudden silence.

oldest of Queer Fishes.

A queer fish that does not swim is
the "sargasso fish," known to sailors
as the "frogdsh.' 1t lives in that vast
mass Of floating gulfweed called the
sargasso sea, in mid-Atlantic.
Its pectoral fms are so modified and
developed as to resemble arms, and 1t
uses them for clinging to the weed.
Very gaudily colored, it changes Its
hues to match the aquatic vegetation
by which 1t is surrounded, and when
the latter decays and turns brown It
assumes a corresponding shade.
The fish lays its eggs in a jelly.like
mass, which, absorbing great guam

Tag Day

The ladies of the Catholic church in
Ranan have decided to make July 4th
tag day. They have secured the tags
and will endeavor to tag everybody on
that day, in the interest of the building
fund for their church. No price will be
put on the tags, each individual being
allowed to pay what he may think he
can stand.

sum from this method of raising money
and also expect to be able to finish
their church building by reason thereof.

Many of the newspapers of the state are favorable
to the primary election bill drafted by the special

The preliminary report on export trade
for September showed expansion in all
lines of farm produce sent abroad over
the corresponding period year ago.
The total of the exports of breadstuffs,
meat and dairy products, live animals,
cotton and mineral oils for the month
aggregated $95,694, 200, gain of IS per
cent The largest gain was shown in
meat and dairy products-5l per cent (;
live cattle show gain of 80 per cent,
and breadstuffs of 4S per cent. The
smallest gain was that recorded by cot
ton, the largest single item in our export
trade. This shows an increase in value
of per cent but in quantity of 32 per
cent, this latter difference tending to il
lustrate the much lower level of values
ruling in cotton now as compared with
a year ago. 1t might be added that the
very large gains in exports of bread.
stuffs, cattle and meats were possible be-
cause of comparison with a period last
year when, owing to past high prices,
our export trade in foods had practically
come to a standstill. .-Bradstreet's.

Stick by Your Newspaper.

Whenever village aspires to become
a town, the first thing it asks for is a
newspaper. The newspaper places the
town on the map and forms an appro-
pirate piece of literature to mail out to
give information to the outside world
of the towns existence. 1t advsrtises
it's resources and attractive features,
thereby assisting to bring in good citi-
zens to help settle up and develop the
community, to say nothing about
an attractive feature of being
a medium in which to give free public
ity to the church and lodge announce
ments, notices of holding picnics, and
give the local people an opportunity to
see their names in print. However, af-
ter a newspaper is once started in a
town or village, too many people fail to
give it just appreciation by taking ad-
vantage of the opportunity for advertis-
ing thus afforded and by keeping sub
scriptions paid up. The people of a
community in this way determine the
character of their newspaper. The
newspaper needs not only financial sup
port, but needs the moral support of the
community as well. The editor likes
to know that the people are with him in
his efforts to boost for the community
and that they appreciate his work

THE SHACK.

You can talk of life in palace,
And of wearin' jeweled crown,
And of life in a marble cottage"
Where the nabobs flock from town
But give me home on the prairie,
Where the sods ne'er been turned
back;
There's nothing that makes for content
ment
Like life in homestead shack.
You can talk of the joys of livin'
Where the slaves of the city toll;
There's nothing to wrench the heart
strings
Out here on the virgin soil;
Just give me door facing westward,
And coffee-and. bacon snack,
And dreamy old pipe in the evenin'-
I'm strong for the homestead shack
The sun peeps in at the dawnin',
And it reddens things up at night;
There's nothing to break the silence
And set mans thought to fight;
There's pride in his hard achievement
Of setting the wilderness back
And there comes the glory of conques
To him in the homestead shack.

THE RHODES SCHOLARSHIP,
Only One Student Represents South
Dakota at Oxford.

M. A. Brown, Yankton, 'O9, who has
just returned from three years period
of study at Oxford, told the students the
other day about the advantages and op.
portunities open to the Rhodes scholar.
Mr.. Brown has been our State repre-.
sentative at Oxford for the past three
years, and is now succeeded by H. A.
Gunderson, Yankton sophomore OF
last year. Mr.. Brown was South Dako-
ta's only representative the past year,
and Mr.. Gunderson, the only candidate
at the last examination, will be our only
representative for the next two years.
With a total Of seventeen candidates in
this State, five have passed the exam
ination, whereas we should have had
six scholars from a larger list of eandi-
dates.
The young men of South Dakota are
neglecting this great opportunity, and
we are in danger of losing the privilege
altogether, for We are told that the trus.
tees of the fund have considered the
advisability of withdrawing the privil-
ege from our State Two of the five
candidates thus far are Yankton men,
and others are contemplating the exam
ination. The State should furnish a
good list of candidates for the examin-
ations in October, 1912. The Yankton
men assure US that the examinations are
not difficult The successful candidate
must pass in Latin and mathematics. If
at Oxford he takes other than science
and mathematics, he must take the
Greek before the completion of his
course.
Any young man with average ability,
who is not afraid to work and who has
had two years of Latin, can prepare for
the Oxford examination during the first
two years of his college course. If he
has had the full four years of Latin, he
can do it in one year. No Yankton can
didate has yet failed, and the college
extends welcome to the young men
of the State who have ambitions for the
honors and opportunities which Oxford
affords. Cor. Argus Leader.
