School Exhibit

An exhibit of first class work in
water %colors, map drawing, and
themes greets the visitor in the as
sembly room at the court house this
summer. The work was done by
the pupils of the Hand county
schools, and practically every town.
ship is represented.
A vast amount of work for both
teachers and scholars is represented
by this exhibit, but it is work which
is beneficial, largely in arousing a
competitive interest among the
scholars. The map work is especial
ly good this year. The maps include
all countries and are done in c%olors,
principally by seventh and eighth
grade pupils. The water color
scenes are also worthy of special
notice. 1t will pay anyone who is
interested in the work of the county
schools to take in this exhibit.

ITEMS OF
THE STATE FAIR
New Features introduced For
Comfort and Pleasure of
Visitors

The concessions department of the
State Fair will have complete con-
troll of the prices of all goods sold
on the grounds, and no over-charges
will be tolerated. All stands and
concessioners will be required to
pos prices of wares. and conform
to the same. The sale of inferior
and impure articles will be prohibit
ed.
No other state in the Union, in
proportion to its size and age, will
have a fair which will at all COM
pare in magnitude with the great
South Dakota State Fair this fall.
The monstrous new buildings, the
new sewer system, the new six-inch
artesian well and lake, the new din
ing halls, the new stock pavilions,
the many expensive attractions, and
other important features will COM
bine to make the fair a complete
surprise to visitors.

A State Investment

South DakOta's state fair will cost
her about $50, 900 this year, and a
large part of this amount is expect
ed to be taken as receipts. Of this
amount, $22, 900 is paid to South
Dakota exhibitors, Sll 900 goes on
the speed program, and $1,000 to
outside attractions.
No one will doubt that the state
is making a good investment this
year in expanding this money on
one of the best fairs in the north
west. Officials insist that the state
fair of 1911 is to be the best on re-
cord, and every loyal South Dako-
tan should cooperate to make it So.
Our state has Jared better than her
sister states in this exceptional year,
but she has been maligned by them
at the same time, and it is up to her
to produce the goods in a state
fair.

Chicago Tribune Never Sent Feat
ure Writer, SANDER OF State
Up To Sioux CITY Tribute

Pierre, Aug. 15.-The papers of
this state have been rather radical
in their criticism of an article pub
Iished in the Sioux City Tribune, in
which that paper claimed to have
ed a story from John ]. Nc
Cleary a feature writer for the Chi
cago Tribune, in which it was al!eg-
ed that one woman in the western
part OF the state offered to sell her
little daughter for funds to get out,
and that stock owners were killing
their cattle to prevent their starv-
ing. immigration Commissioner
Deets took up the matters with the
Chicago Tribune. and received a
letter saying that they knew moth
ing Of John j. McCleary, and did not
send any feature writer to western
South Dakota to write up the sltua-
ton. That they nave written the
Sioux City paper to that effect. 1t
is up to the Sioux City paper to
make a showing as to why they cir
culated such a statement.

Supt. Quits Farmers Institute

Fulton, S. D.-A. E. Chamberlain,
superintendent of farmers institutes
in South Dakota, has been offered a
position with the Jim Hill railroads
and has accepted. Mr. Chamberlain
has made his home at B~rookings
since he took up the work of the
farmers institutes four or five years
ago. DIR. H. H. Stoner of High
more, is spoken of as Superntend-
ent Chamberlain successor. DR..
Stoner has devoted some time to the
work of institute lecturer and is a
we'll informed farmer and popular
with the men who attend the meet
ings. 1t Is not known what the re-
gents of education viii do in the
matter. All of this work is in the
care of the regents and they elect
the superintendent.

MILLER GIRL
EARNS SUCCESS
Miss Elizabeth Christ Displays A
Remarkable Voice In
Concert

Miss Elizabeth Christ, daughter
of Mayor and Mrs S, V. Christ, of
this city, received a well-earned
eulogy Friday evening from the
Miller people who attended the con-
cert at the opera house. Through
years of hard work, she has cultivat-
ed a voice such as has seldom been
heard in this city, and her hearers
were unanimous in expressing their
delight in listening to her.
In the arias from Tosca and Len
FAINT Prologue, Miss Christ display
ed a sweetness and volume of tone
which were truly remarkable in a
Young singer. Her voice has the
strength and perfection which usual
ly comes only after many years of
practise. Her English numbers
were sung with a simple sweetness
which brought much pleasure to the
audience, especially The Rosary and
The Last Rose of Summer.
Miss Christ was assisted in the
concert by MIR VIM. T. Spangler, a
pianist from Minneapolis. His work
all showed a wonderful ability at
the piano. but especially pleasing to
the audience was his rendition of
LISTS Hungarian Rhapsody, and
the Russian Light and Shadow
Dance. The former selection always
grips an audience, and especially so
when it is played with the master
touch which Mr. Spangler displayed.
1t is always a pleasure to COM
mend good work, and the PRESS is
glad of the opportunity to congrat-
uIate a Miller girl on her achieve
ment. No success comes easily,-it
is hammered out by years of hard
effort, and for that reason. unstint-
ed praise is due to n who has had
the nerve to stick to a thing until
success is won. This was Miss
Ghrist's first appearance in concert
since her return from Paris, and
after hearing her. it is safe to pre-
dict a successful career in her choS-
en- profession.

Bro. Hicks Heard From

In his weather forecast for Au-
gust Ira r. Hicks of St. Louis, the
weather prophet, concludes as fol-
lows:
"As matters now stand, the indie
atoms are that the crisis of the Jup-
tier period will be passed during the
present season thus bringing it in
1911, instead 1912. We have always
contended that three seasons are
more or less effected by the Jupiter
drouths. The first year. rains are
light and insufficient in Northern
extremes Of continent; the second
year, as a rule widespread drouth
extends over the great central grain
belt, extending more Or less to
northern and southern extremes;
the third year, rtrmal rains return
TO more northerly and central re-
gions, with hurtful drouth disap-
pearing along the extreme southern
parts of the continent. All know
that severe drouth prevailed during
1910 in northern extremes, and now
that the whole central region is in
volved this season, there is good
a to conclude that the worst of
the present Jupiter period will be
passed this year. Lack of rains, es-
peciaIly toward the extreme south,
will be natural for another year, but
more seasonable conditions will re-
turn to the great northwestern,
western and central sections of the
country. This Is the outlook as it
now appears.

FALLS INTO WELL
Son OF w. n. Pierce Under Wa

Washington. Aug. 8.-Eugene
Pierce, the 10-year-old son of Mr.
and Mrs w. H. Pierce, of this place,
is in a very critital condition as the
result of falling into the railroad
we'll at this place Yesterday after
noon. He was playing around the
water tank and climbing up and
down the ladder leading to the low
er platform in the well. In some
way he fell, striking his head on the
edge of the platform and plunging
into the icy water below. His play
mates summoned assistance. but it
was at least ten minutes before the
body could be fished out from the
bottum of the well. The water was
pumped cut of his lungs and respir-
alton restored, but the cold water
and possible internal injuries receiv-
ed from the fall are likely to prove
fatal.

KING CORN LEADS
In SOUTH DAKOTA
Largest Yield In History OF State
Predicted

The principal crop in South Dako-
ia is that of corn. For the last five
years the annual production of corn
in South Dakota "a H,073.9 800
bushels as compared with only &c.
$50, 805 bushels of wheat. This year
both on account Of the steady in
crease of the corn acreage during
the production of corn in the state
promises to run well up toward 100,-
600, 900 bushels. considerably in ex-
cess of the five year average. Per-
maps, it is not generally known that
South Dakota stands sixth among
the great corn producing states of
the United States in the average
yield of corn for the last five years.
This average in South Dakota is
29.0l bushels while Iowa has an av-
erage of $500. Each year the corr
crop is becoming more important IN
the State of South Dakota as the
farmers of the State become more
acquainted with the methods requir-
ed for its successful culture This
year promises a good, if not a better
Weld in South DAKOTA than in the
best previous year which was in 1906
when the average yield in South
Dakota was 49, 5 bushels.

Next Year
fatal.

n interest IN what Will De dOne
next year." and making prepare.
items therefor is greater now than
ever heretofore known in this sec
ton of the state. An unusual
amount of fall blowing has already
been done, and the work is still pro-
crossing.
To make particular comment upon
the thoughts or preparations for
next year" in an old eastern agri-
cultural country would seem strange
there. But to be frank it is almost
a new sensation in this locality. In
the early years we lived in the pre-
sent year, because our principal crop
of wheat was a one season crop, and
a very brief SEASON at that.
Had VIM. Allen White, of Empor-
ia, Kansas some years ago asked
What in hi is the matter with
South Dakota" instead Of Kansas,
we would have replied, the only or
principal matter is too much
wheat" because 1t is a three months
crop, and leaves nine months of the
year idle. because it is too specula-
tive in price, quantity and quality;
and above all 1t does not make for
permanency Of settlement and de
velopment like the mixed farming
countries enjoy.
In the thoroughly mixed farming
country the loss of one crop has no
material effect upon the community.
Everybody goes along about the
same as usual, and turn their ener.
gies and thoughts to other things,
including next year"
And it is pleasant to note that such
a change is appearing in this state.
Of course a few of the old exclusive
whea. producers were caught this
year in the loss of that crop, but
they are not so numerous as fifteen
or twenty years ago, and it is GER
tain their number will grow less
with the coming years. To these
people there is only one year-the
present, and if they get a small
yield of wheat, or a small price for
it there is nothing doing. They
want to leave. to make a change.
And if possible they move If not
possible, they drift along until
spring, and then lugubriously re-
mark, We'll, | guess III try this
year. No permanency. No idea
of thinking ahead, and preparing
for the years to come. It's all just
this year"
This kind of people, or this kind
of sentiment, never built any
country-and never won success for
any man. The man Aho wins sets
his mask, takes his nerve and pa
thence with him, and wins the deServ-
ed victory in the next years"
