to take over the operation and manage
ment of the Evans hotel at Hot Springs

tofore it has always been operated
merely during the summer when the

shooting Pretty Close

j. w. McKinnie, a Trip county
homesteader, was given a great fright,
and lost a horse as the result of a pecu-
liar occurrence. He was at a stream
watering his horse when he heard the
report of a rifle. Looking up he saw
Irwin Didier, a neighbor, standing some
distance away with a gun at his Shout
der. Believing Didier was shooting at
him, McKinnie whipped up his team and
hurried away. He had proceeded only
a short distance when one of the horses
fell dead, and an investigation revealed
that the bullet from Didier's rifle had
passed through its back. Didier was
arrested, but proved that the shooting
was unintentional. He claimed he was
shooting at a dog and didnot see McKin-
ME until after he had pulled the trig-
ger. The incident was closed by Didier
paying for the dead horse.

Reservation newspapers tell of the
sad predicament of a young home
steader in that section of the state, who
allowed his ambition to own a South
Dakota farm to overcome his regard
for the law, causing him to make entry
on a homestead, when but nineteen
years of age. Covetous persons learned
his age and threatened to contest his
entry. The young man consulted an
attorney who advised him to qualify by
marrying, telling him that as a head of
a family his homestead could not be
contested. Determining to keep the
claim at all hazards, the young man
sailed forth in seach of a helpmeet,
and the papers say he proposed to
twenty-seven maids and widows in that
section of Corson county, but without
result. and when the date for hearing
the contest came, the young man did
not appear. He failed In his efforts to

Alfalfa Culture Growing

1t was brought out at the alfalfa
meeting at Pierre last week that last
year Stanley county raised and sold
$44, 900 worth of alfalfa seed, beside
the amount held for home use. The hay
raised on the same ground was valued
at $50, 600. For the same year Sully
county sold ST. 900 worth of seed, and
Hughes county 5000 worth. The hay
in these counties was also a large item
in the alfalfa production. These figures
in part show the development of alfalfa
culture in the western and central parts
of the state, many nen along the Mis-
souri, river, having made this crop their
main work for several years.

Hitchcock Attacks NormaIs


That there will be a strong effort
made during the legislative session to
prevent such large appropriations being
made for the state normal schools TO
carry on what is not provided for under
the laws is evidenced by the attitude of
Hon. A. K. Hitchcock, of Mitchell. one
of the members of the state board of
regents. who has taken up the fight to
have the normal schools keep within
their scope, and not attempt to do col
lege work, which entails a heavy and
unnecessary expense on the state, and
which exceed the laws under which they
operate. Regent Hitchcock makes an
exhaustive statement of the conditions.
s. A census of the students at the four
normals was taken by Regent Hitch
cock last month, with the result that he
finds the Spearfish and Springfield
schools doing the work of high schools
for those two towns at state expense
and that a large part of the attendants
at Aberdeen and Madison normals are
in reality high school students taking
courses at state expense. 1t is shown
that the total number of normal gradu-
ates trained to teach schools from the
four normals last year was 1853. The
total expense of operating the four
schools for the year was $171. 1913, or an
average of Sl,087 for each graduate.
Inasmuch as 146 of these 1853 took only
one year of real normal work, this means
that it costs the state $1,000 to give
each of the normal graduates a years
training. 1t would cost the state an
average of probably $500 to send these
normal students one year co a private
college to secure similar instruction and
could save at that over three-fifth of
the Sl75, 900 spent on the normals each
year.
