Curious Foraetfulness.


 It is difficult to combine the attri- butes of the beau and the business man, and the famous Lord Alvanley did not attempt the task. Largely as the result of that philosophy which led him to cavil at friends weakness In 'amuddling away his fortune in pay ing tradesmen's bills." he one day found himself in financial difficulties and asked Charles Grevflle. the author of the Journals" to put his affairs in order The two men-Mr. Lewis Melville describes the incident in Some Eccentrics and Woman spent day over accounts. and Greville found that the task he had undertaken would not be so difficult as he had been given to understand His relief was not long lived, however, for on the fol lowing morning he received a note from Alvanley saying he had quite for gotten debt of f50.00O.

Italian Premier
 Fears Socialists

Especial from United Press. )

Rome. Oct. 28.-Fear that the Soc ialists, under the leadership of Biz zollati, will enter organized opposition to Italy's armed invasion of Tripoli has caused Premier Giolitti to post pone indefinitely the meeting of the Italian parliament, which was to have convened, next week.
 Great internal dissension exists in Italy over the conduct of the war on Turkey and the government leaders are we'll aware of the opposition to their present policy.
 The Socialists and laborites are hostile to the complete grab of Tripcli. To avoid the organized op- position of these; parties. with a pos sible overthrow of the ministry, Gio- litti will exercise his discretionary powers and prevent parliament from meeting until the Italian armies in Africa have completed their con- quest 1t is hardly probable that par liament will be permitted to assemble until peace negotiations have been fn- stituted.

Is SHE A MYRTAR?

Miss Sylvia Parkhurst, a young lady
of twenty years OF age, from England
now at New York to attend lecture
on political education, has told about
her experience as a suffragette in a
London prison. She is an artist as
well as suffragette, has visited the
academy af arts at Venice, won the
national scholarship in England and
Is the author of several books on the
woman suffrage business. Not to
waste many words, she is great one.
In New York she made the impression
of having in her the material of which
martyrs are made. We think this
could be tested and made sure by
transplanting her to a home on our
prairie, especially one where the stove
sends out clouds of smoke when the
wind blows from a certain direction;
then make her cook meals with wet
fuel and at the same time have her
do io5 of chores around the barn,
earring in water when going back to
| the house, this water is TO be hauled
from a we'll in a deep dIaw. Make
her clean the house, feed the pigs,
mend the stocksings, get the horse
out of the pasture, make the beds,
tramp down the hay in the barn, bake
tea bread, feed the calf do the wash
ing, empty the slop bucket chase the
flies, and then after all give her some
particular remarks about the meals
not being what they should be. If
she can stand all this and be cheer
full, we will admit that she has in her
the material of woich martyrs are

TWO BURNED TO DEATH.

Fort Pierre Fariplay: One of the
most terrible catastrophes in the his
tory of Stanley county took place on
Wednesday afternoon at the Phares
farm short distance north of town,
when the farm house vas completely
destroyd by fire and the lives of two
bright little boys were snuffed out in
the flames.
Harley Kephart, who has been liy-
ing on the place, was working with
his team between Pierre and Fort
Pierre. Mrs. Kephart was out in the
yard doing serne necessary, chores in
the absence of her husband, when she
looked up and discovered that the
house was in flames,
Their two little sons, ALVIN aged
and Kenneth aged 1s months, had
been left in the house and when the
fire was discovered it was too late to
save them or any of the family's per-
sonal belongings, the frame building
being burned to the ground in short
time.
In addition tn the terrible loss of
their children, Mr.. and Mrs. Kephart
were left with only the clothing they
had on. Kind friends circulated a
subscription paper yesterday which
met with the usual ready and gener-
GUS response from the people, and the
bereaved couple are extended the
sympathy of the entire community in
their awful sorrow.

SPECIAL ELECTION
TO VOTE BONDS.

Saturday night the Town Board met
at Sharon's confectionery store in
special session to take action on the
calling of a special election to vote
on bonding the town for erecting and
maintaining a system of waterworks.
A call was issued by the unanimous
vote of the board for an election to
be held at the Opera House on Tues
dav March IA, at which time the pro-
position to issue bonds in the sum of
six thousand seven hundred dollars
will be submitted.
The bonds are to be issued in de-
nominations of one hundred dollars
each and to bear interest not exceed
ing seven per cent per annum. Five
thousand dollars of the issue is to be
due IN ten years from March 1st, 1911,
and the balance due in fifteen years
from March 1st, 1911.
The action of the council is exceed
ingly gratifying to the majority of
our citizens and we believe the pro-
position will have very little or no
opposition at the election.
The installing of a system of water
works in Kadoka will be step for
ward and great assistance in keep
ing the town in the front ranks of
those west of the river.
Read the call, published elfewhere
in this issue, carefully and on March
14th go to the polls and vote yes, for
the bonds.

the famous Jordan valley that the
majority and best of the alfalfa fields
had the plants thin on the ground.
have alfalfa where l seeded five
pounds and where / seeded seven
pounds. Both this year and last the
thinly seed made the best seed crops.
This year it yielded me $40 per acre
for seed. I consider this country an
ideal seed country.
Now as to it's feeding quality. 1t
comes nearer to grain than any other
forage plant. Horses will do hard
work on alfalfa rations; hogs will hold
their own and winter on it. am
wintering three hundred hogs this
winter, and their grain rations are
less than one pound of macaroni
wheat per hog per day.
In preparing the hay for feeding:
run my first cutting through the
threshing machine and separate the
coarse from the finer feed, the fine
chaffy feed is stacked up and fed to
the hogs. The horses and cattle get
the coarse feed. The straw after the
seed is taken out also makes good feed.
1t is better than the most of the prai-
rie hay. AS pasture for pigs alfalfa
cannot be beaten.
raise my alfalfa on bottom lands
along the Cheyenne river, although
have eXperimented on upland as pre-
Yiously stated. believe that by
proper cultivation it can be protitably
grown on upland. l should, however,
pursue an entirely different method,
that is, should plant it in rows and
cultivate it. In preparing the ground
should make bitches at least six
inches deep and twenty-four inches
apart for the rows. Plant the seed in
these bitches, cover slightly, and then
before winter sets in cover the plants
at least three inches with dirt. The
next spring after the plants are we'll
sprouted, l should level the field.
Now the plants are protected against
cold and heat, and the field is in such
shape that it can be disced after each
crop. This will keep the soil loose
and conserve the moisture. l feel by
this method of procedure it will be
possible to raise large seed crops.
Nature taught me this lesson, when
in the summer of 1909 a portion of
my field was flooded by~high water
from the Cheyenne river. The alfalfa
was in bloom and ready to cut for
hay. The water was verv muddy and
deposited from six to eight inches of
silt, thought my field was ruined.
This year when the late frost came
whicn was so harmful to alfalfa fields
all of my alfalfa froze down. The
covered alfalfa came up and made
splendid crop of hay and later a good
crop of seed; but in that part of the
field which did not receive the silt COW
ering the summer before was left in a
sickly condition. The drouth came.
and the field did not even make one
crop of hay worth cutting.
Another advantage of having the
crown of the plant covered is the
possibility of pastureing it without
any harmful effect.
In conclusion / will state that any
land which will grow two crops of
alfalfa a year will pay the owner ten
per cent interest on from one to two
hundred dollars per acre, no matter
whether you raise seed or use it for
hogs and raise pork for market.
