Campaigns for Funds
Only $4,000 More Must Be Raised
to Meet Conditions Of Rookie.

MITCHELL. s. D., Feb, S-CSpeclal. y
Dakota Wesleyan university OF this city
has been exceptionally fortunate In being
selected among one OF the ten colleges
OF the country to receive an award from
the Rockefeller educational fund, and
President Kerfoot has just received the
official announcement from Secretary Butt
rick that the Board Of Education has
awarded the sum OF $4,000 to the univer-
sity. This sum is TO become a part Of the
S25O.OO0 endowment that the Institution is
raising at the present time, and in a way
will lessen the work OF securing the fun
amount.
The conditions under which the $4,000 is
given is that $4,000 is to be invested ana
preserved inviolRbly for an endowment fund
and that $4,000 may be used for the cree
ton of the science hall and gymnasium.
The terms imposed are readily accepted by
the institution and In fact are the terms
asked by the officials.
The present situation r. that only $4,000
remains 70 be raised of the s25OOOO, as S50.oOO
is given by James J. Hin and $4,000 by
the oitiEens OF this city. The buildings
which are TO be erected, and which are
in the course OF construction, are planned
to cost $4,000 each, and this Will necessitate
the raising OF $4,000 additional to what was
first scheduled. The buildings are expected
90 be finished by the opening of the fan

already been finished. The campaign will

The Desirable Guest.

The person who can talk entertainingly Is
the best type Of guest at social gatherings,
for she who chatters necessarily is almost
more undesirable than one who is too
quiet-for the latter gives opportunity for
other persons to express themselves, while
with the former to say even one word is
often a struggle.
The balance between these extremes Is
the art OF stimulating a temporary com
panion to conversation, and at no place Is
II more important to adopt the correct at
titude than at a dinner. More than one
man has been obliged TO talk so much
when sitting beside quiet woman that he
has not eaten enough. Such conduct on
siderate, for q woman Is decidedly incon-
siderate. or II she is not willing to add her
quota TO the evenings entertainment she
should stay at home.
At dinners and also at ofrmal luncheons
II is a good idea TO watch the plates Of
neighbors and II one person has been
talking so much as to have fallen behind
in the course It is tactful 10 take converse
ton into ones own hands. giving the
other a chance to listen and at the same
time TO eat.
II Is not good form to mOnopOlize the at
tention OF one neighbor TO such an extent
as to prevent him OF her from talking with
the person on the other side. Often It is
a temptation when on one side Is an at
tractiye person and on the other side one
who is dun. but politeness makes dividing
the attention necessary.
II one person is kept constantly in con-
versation by one nelghbOr at dinner Il
means that he or she on the other side sits
much Of the time with no one 10 talk to,
for the guest farther on is certainly Civ
ing some time TO the person on his or her
other side.

AID FOR NEWLYwEDs

Protection against the hazing OF
the newly-wed is proposed by hlch-
ard Henry Little, humorist and war
correspondent of Chicago, atter
some research work into the indlg-
mites, sorrow and suffering OF June
brides and grooms at the hands OF
their friends. MIR. Little has turned
reformer and headed petition lot
reform with a choice collection OF
incidents to illustrate the antics OF
modern civilization. one was unuei
| date of Rollo, H., June %, 192l:
after the ceremony Mrs. Dupo was
seized by her bridesmaids and
beautiful bird in three colors was
tattooed on her forehead. MT:
Dubb was seized by his friends ana
relatives and, after being tarred and
feathered, was ridden out OF town
on a rail behind the justly famous
Rollo Silver Cornet band. The
event was one of the most amusing
and delightful weddings that ever
took place in our little village.
Another imaginative bit follows:
"Blahaville, Ind.-Miss Truly Love
ly was married here today to MP.
John de Smythers of Chicago. Some
Of the fun loving relatives OF the
bride set fire to the First Methodist
church Just as the contracting par
ties were walking down the aisle.
De Smythers rescued his bride from
the flames with some difficulty and
then repaired to the home Of the
bride and attempted to have the
ceremony on the veranda. The
groom's best man. however, explod-
ed a charge of dynamite under the
veranda just as the bride was about
to say I will and the ceremony was
naturally interrupted" For empha-
sis Little gives the sportive results
of a Chicago wedding party: Mr..
and Mrs. Sweetleigh had escaped in
disguise from the bridal party and
taken a train for the west. intending
to spend the honeymoon at the
groom's ranch in Colorado. Dis
patches were promptly sent ahead
to a brace OF we'll known train BAN
dts and the train was derailed at
Chukee Junction. Outside OF a
broken arm and a few minor cuts
the bride was unhurt and the
groom escaped with nothing worse
than two or three contusions and a
dislocated shoulder. The casualties
attending other passengers on the
train will be found in the full ac-
count of the wreck in another col
umn.

COLORADO HAY CROP

While most of the country is COM
planning of short hay crop, late
reports indicate that Colorado as a
whole will average about a normal
crop. East of the mountains the
first cutting OF alfalfa was short,
but the second cutting is generally
good and rather above the average.
The late rains have done much to
improve the prospects for wild hav.
and on the Eastern Slope while the
hay crop is not large, it is fair and
If the rains continue will not he far
from normal. In Northern Colorado
the erasshoppers are doing less
damage than expected. and reports
that the pest has been attacked bv
a disease means that the third cut
ting will have chance. While range
is short in the Arkansas Valley. the
irrigated sections are reporting a
good crop.
On the Western slope the indica-
tions are that the hay crop will be
one of the largest on record. Not
only will there be large crop o,
alfalfa. but plenty of wild hay car
be put up. The San Luis VALLEY
will have fine crops, as there has
been plenty of irrigation water and
plenty of rains.
The shortage of hay in the eas,
will result in good shipping de.
mand and high prices are expected
to prevail this fall and winter. The
Western Slope, however, will find
1T profitable to feed most of theil
crop at home and for this reason
the movement of range cattle from
the west will be slow.

VISITED CORONA

Upon the invitation OF Editor
Wolfe, of the Greeley Tribune,
Editor Weidmann of the Johnstown
Breeze, and the writer, accompanied
the excursion over the Moffat road
to Corona, last Saturday. AS all
those who have taken this trip
know, it is one of the most scenic
mountain trips in Colorado. where
mountain scenery is a chief pro-
duct. The trip was made without
an incident to mar the pleasure OF
the occasion. At the summit it was
stormy which kept the crowd we'll
under cover during the stay there.
Snow banks and wild flowers, as
the literature tells you, is right.
Corona is reached over the Moffat
road, the greatest piece of noun
tain railroading in the world, with
. out a doubt. Thirty-one tunnels
are passed, (and some of them
quite long,) before reaching Toll
land. This is a pretty summer re-
sort town. lying in Beautiful
Boulder Valley" and is kept up
by the tourist trade during the
summer months. In winter it is
practically deserted. The Craigs is
another summer resort on this

tracks, presents an unique appear.

NAL students, at the summer school
and there was train load OF sil
coaches. The trip was made OF
schedule time from start to finish
something unusual for an excursion
and the crowd was glad to have
gone and to get home. for 1t was q
wearing trip. But, the next time
this chile goes to Corona he will
borrow an overcoat to take along
