letter from the United States depart

Pierre-An Indian is to be a real
bishop of the Episcopal church, hav-
ing in his diocese the red men of
South Dakota, If present plans are
carried out. In a call for an early
meeting of the house of bishops, there
seemed to some people to be an init
nation that a missionary district at
large might be created for Indians who
belong to the Episcopal church. A
district at large, permitting it's bishop
to wander into dioceses of other bish-
ops to look after Indian communicates,
was held to be SO uncatholic that pro-
test arose from half a dozen quarters.
Now Bishop futile of Missouri, who
Is presiding officer and who called the
special meeting, answers the critics to
say that all that is contemplated is
the creation of a new missionary dis
trict within the counties wherein dwell
few save Indian people, and leaving
the remainder of the state to be an
other district. wherein are few save
whites. Bishops will be chosen for
two districts, if two are created, and
that for the Indian district will be an
Indian, the first American Indian to at
tain the rank of bishop.

a long and brilliant career In both

years he served in the house Of repre-

United States senate, Mr.. Mills was a
leader Of the Democratic party. al
though criticised and opposed by many
of his colleagues because Of his rad
zeal views on tariff matters.
Roger Quarles Mills was born near
the old town Of Salem in Todd coun-
ty. Kentucky, in 1882. When he was
II years old he moved to Palestine,
Texas, and DOR afterward took up the
study OF law. When he vas 20 years

Cedar Posts by Express.

Pierre.-Under the new express
rates in this state it is generally
cheaper to send packages within the
boundaries of the state by express
than by freight. This is especially
true for shipments west of the Mis-
souri, river, where the railways have
held their freight rates to a higher
point than east of the river. Fol in
stance, the express rate per hundred
pounds between Pierre and Rapid City
Is IS cents under the present rate,
while the freight rate between these
two points is rs cents per hundred.
One day this week a large shipment of
cedar posts from Rapid City to the
eastern part of the state went through
here by express, as they could be sent
that way cheaper than by freight. If
shippers generally find this to be the
rule. the shipments of goods and mer-
chandise on the yellow ears will be
greater than those in the ordinary red
box car. and the express companies
will need to put on more men to han
die their business.

SELECTION OF SEED CORN.
Prof. A. N. Hume Gives Timely Ad.
vice to Farmers.

The selection of seed corn and show
corn should be at the present time
in full swing in most parts of South
Dakota. Corn growers all over the
state should not fail to keep in mind
that there will be a very important
meeting of Corn and Grain Growers to
be held in Mitchell next January To-
20. In connection with this meeting
a Corn Show will be held. for which
it is worth while to get ready. Corn
for corn shows should be selected now.
Their are numerous advantages for
wide-awake farmers in attending such
a meeting as the coming Corn and
Grain Growers convention. The ex-
cellent program which has been pre-
pared is one of the chief Of these, and
in addition to this it Is not the least
advantage that the most progressive
farmers of the state here have an op-
p%ortunity to meet and get acquainted
with each other.
In comparison with other lines Of
business, farming heretofore has Of
fered comparatively too much of iso-
lation. Too much isolation is not an
advantage to any people. 1t developes
strength, but II 1t is continued too
long, the strength Ices not become
active energy. 1t is fair to urge the
Importance to the farmers Of the state
Of attending one or two good meetings
every year, and attending nc meetings
a be of greater Importance in this
respect than the Corn and Grain
Grain Growers convention-Mitchell,
January 1920.
In round numbers, six hundred dol
lars in premiums are offered, SO it will
be well worth while to compete in the
Corn Show, even from a financial
standpoint. even though the greater
value may come from the knowledge
that will be gained of good corn and
how to raise it. The programs and
premium lists are ready and will be
gladly mailed upon request Of Fl. E.
