Introduce Happy Children
 To New School Home DEDICATE ADAMS BUILDING
Examine Its Perfections- Enjoy Work of Its Do meStic Art Department Shake Hands With Each Other-Depart Happily.

Is the presence of crickets any sign of good luck? If so. then the new Adams school building was coy cred with good luck on the occasion last night, of it's dedication by the public of the district the money of which Is to pay for it.
 It certainly was pervaded by every thing that is good inside A more beautiful and well-behaved and earn estly happy crowd has seldom ever been congregated anywhere.

It seemed as though it never would quit coming, and never wanted to go home after it had come, but finally had to out of consideration for others. The consequence was that the reception did not end at the scheduled hour. And no one was sor- ry that it did not; not even the fac ulty and board whose members had been busy with voices and hands and feet for hours: even they were happy, despite the fact that they were work ing overtime, because the parents and children and casual visitors were all so delighted
 There was no formality about the reception. If there was the slightest trace of it at the beginning it soon wore away The visitors just felt that it was theirs, their school home. and walked right in and took pos session; and the teachers and their employers of the board were glad they did. They became simply those of whom questions were asked. and who looked after the comfort and happiness of others out of pure hap piness and good nature in themselves
 It seemed to everyone as though there never was quite so neat and complete a school building There were more pleasant things about it than anyone had ever dreamed. unless it was those who planned and exc cuted it, closets here and little rooms there, and all sorts of conveniences that made it just like home" Besides to crown all there was the domestic economy department that some have longed for and prayed for, and all  in working order, dispensing the most delightful fruit punch and nabiscos No wonder no one was in any hurry to go. so beautiful were the scores Of pretty girls dressed with equal prettiness in white. here and there a dress with just dash of color to beautify the whiteness, all waiting on their elders and equals and youngers with courtesy and grace equal to their elders. and all under the general is entering upon her third year as the special teacher of girls, whose work has been so satisfactory that the girls were little mothers" every one of them.

 LOOK AFTER SHOWS
He Has Been Appointed Superintend- ent of Midway by Fair Com
 mission.

Sometime ago the territorial fair commission sold the concessions at the fair ground during the Novem- Der exposition, to E. P. Grover of Mesa City. These included what are generally known as the midway shows. MT. Grover has spent some time since then in an effort to secure attrac- tions, but has decided that he cannot under the conditions. secure the line of entertainments that the commis sion demands.
 Mir Grover therefore relinquishcd to the commission at meeting held yesterday, his right to that part of the concessions and the commission delegated Ned Creighton to secure proper, and an ample number of at fractions to satisfy the thousands who will be in attendance. His title will be superintendent of midway amusements. MT. Creighton expects to leave for San Francisco in few days to see what can be secured in the way of good attractions.
 Some other routine matters before the commission went ever until aIoth- CT meeting which will be held as soon as Commissioner Campbell returns from Albuquerque, and after which time there will probably be frequent meetings.

Oklahoma Giant Is PIaything
 in FIgnn's Hands II WENT TEN ROUNDS
Contest Described By Many Spectators as Bloodiest Fight Which Has Yet Been Seen in City of New York.

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-Jim Flynn. of Pueblo, fought winning battle of ten terrific rounds with Carl Nor ris, the Oklahoma giant, at Madison Square Garden tonight. At the end the OklahOman's face was battered to pulp. while Flynn was not marked save for a small bump over the left eye.
 As d possible White Hope" for championship honors, Morris is a dis nal failure. He had nearly fifty pounds advantage in weight and five inches height over Flynn, but he failed to daze Flynn at any stage. Morris really had d chance in but one round, the third. In all the others Flynn was his complete master At close work Flynn invariably had the better of it though Morris constantly used his great weight to weaken the lighter man.
 Flynn was always willing to take punishment in order to send back worse than he got. Morris landed many hard rights and lefts in every round but the Pueblo man seemed impervious to the gruelling he got. It was the blOodiest fight ever seen in New York and many spectators close to the ring were astonished at the stamina of both men. There is no denying the verdict of the on lockers as to who won, as Flynn was cheered vociferously as he fol- lowed his seconds from the ring to his dressing room, while only pity was expressed for the Oklahoma giant. Among the spectators in the ringside boxes was State Senator Frawley, author of the new prize fight law. During the seventh round Frawley shouted, Stop it, stop it." but referee Charley White either did not hear or would not heed the man who is responsible for the bill which revived fighting here. Nor ris gave his weight as 222, Flynn 175.
 Round One-Morris was first to lead. missed a right for the head. then sent a right uppercut and Flynn hooked left to body. They clinched frequently. Flynn putting hard rights and lefts to body; drew blood from Morris mouth at end of round.
 Round TWo-Closed in, Flynn up percutting both hands to body Nor ris put right to the body Flynn started a terrific right for the jaw, missed and slipped to the floor Again went down the same way, then clnched. Flynn keeping left work ing to the face. Morris right eye was closed
 Round Three-Morris landed four short rights to head without return Flynn suddenly cut loose with left and put the big fellow to his knees with a body blow and right to jaw Flynn kept working the body with both hands, Morris returning several short arm jolts to the head, forcing Flynn to the ropes at the belt
 Round Four-F1ynn at close quart CTS, kept digging both hands to body. put one left and one right to the eye. Morris clinched, laid over on Flynn. fighting hard for the neck. Flynn right uppercut Morris, opening a gash in the right eye. Morris forced Flynn around with his weight and Flynn was bleeding at belt Morris face was a fearful sight bleeding profusely.
 Round Five-Morris put four lefts and right to the head but Flynn hooked hard uppercut to body with good efefct Then he put two straight lefts to nose, Morris still bleeding hard.

The first American settlement"
writes Robert A. Woods. of the South
End house, OF Boston. in The Survey,
was the Neighborhood guild. now the
University settlement, which was
established by Stanton Colt, one of the
lecturers of the New York Society for
Ethical Culture, in August, 1886. DIR.
Colt tells how difficult it was to per-
suade a truckman. who had peer en-
gagged to move his goods to Forsyth
street, that there was not some mis-
take in the address.

sued as n of the Russell Sage Foun-
dation publications. brings out the
strongly individual character of the
various settlements. A settlement may
be said to be made up of a group OF
people who live in a neighborhood in.

and needs to the larger social whole,
and wake and organize it's citizens.
to attempt the solution OF their own
problems.
"As an Indication part OF their work
nearly all of h settlements have been
influential in obtaining some form of
municipal Improvement, such as play
grounds, public baths, public libraries,
improved streets, housing and SANTA
ton, n more humane administration
of public charity. Settlements have
also assisted in creating public opinion
in favor of the labor union at it's best.
In enforcing the laws concerning the
labor OF women and children, and in
various ways making it less easy to
exploit the more helpless members Of
the community.

development of this industry in South

shown in the increase in value of
products n in value added by manu-
facture. The former item decreased 23.S
per cent from 1899 to 1904. put increased
1907 per cent from 1904 to 1909, and
he latter item decreased 7.6 per cent
during the earlier period n increased
1923 per cent during the latter. The
Increase In the latter five-year period
is due partly to the large increase in
the cut OF western yellow pine during
this period as well as to an advance

stitutes almost the entire lumber cut
of South Dakota.

At the census of 1900 Sioux Falls was

city OF that class. The population for
