TAFTS ARE HOSTS
QUARTER CENTURY OF Welded
LIFE CELEBRATED IN sPLEN-
DID STYLE.
BIG WHITE HOUSE FUNCTION
Representatives from All Departments
of Government and Hundreds Of
Others Pay Respects to President
and Wife.

Washington, ID. C.--The silver we'd
Mrs. Taft, the second that has been
held in the White House, came to an
end with the reception on the White
House lawn. Invitations had been sent
to close to 10000 persons, and while
the official count of those who shook
hands with the president were not
given out, it was estimated that at
least 5000 persons were present
Never in the history of the nation,
probably, has such function been
held in Washington. The diplomatic
corps, the United States supreme
court, the senate and the house of rep
rssentatives, the departments of the
government, the men who are high in
political affairs of the country, the
navy and every walk i'm life almost was
represented. The clear cool night
that made reception in the open pos
sible prevented the crush that the
White House for days has been afraid
OF and made the reception not only
brilliant and unusual, but delightful
In every respect. The guests would
have filled the White House to over
flowing, but the White House grounds
are ample and there was no crush and
no confusion.
Possibly $4,000 people crowded
about the iron fence that surrounds the
grounds and looked longingly at the
electric display, the splashing foun-
tain and throng within.

Earmina bx Steam.

Alaska-There is no more progress
i've man in the sunshine state than O.
%. hmm, farmer of Alaska, S. ID. He
mas modern farm outfit for break
ing, narrowing, rolling and seeding, all
IN one process and without single
horse. BY this system he secures bet.
ter results at one-fifth the time and
expense of ordinary farm methods in
vogue today.
Mr INN uses an ordinary traction
engine as motive power. Following
the engine is an eight share gang
plow. which he uses alike on virgin or
broken soil, and this season his plow
has turned the burrows on 400 acres of
prairie land that never before had
been touched.
But the most remarkable machine
IN this whole equipment is the multi.
pie roller which is attached behind the
plow. 1t is the first and, from all
aVallable information, the only plow
OF its kind in use west of the Missis-
sippi and north of Nebraska. IT is
covered by 1909 patents and is manu-
factured in the east. 1t is 10 feet wide
ana is composed of 40 steel rollers,
each 26 inches in diameter. The
freshly plowed ground over which
these 40 rollers pass is ground and
broken into perfect friability.
The monitor drill thus has an ideal
ield in which to drop the seed. Not
a kernel can drop by the wayside or
fall upon sterile soil, but each is de-
posted in soil skillfully prepared to
sprout and foster each seed of grain.
A steel tooth drag follows, and the
seeds are planted in an ash-like soil
to conserve the moisture and nurture
the sprout and root till the harvest
days.

LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY HAS

OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST
From the Capital City, the Various
State Institutions and DIFF.
fercnt Parts of the
State.

Pierre.-The state department is
busy making arrangements to disburse
the interest and income fund of the
common school to the counties The
total apportionment this year is $54S,-
694.44, at the rate of 1922 per person
OF school age, an increase of 26 cents
per pupil over the basis of the 1909
apportionment. The last school CEN
sus showed a population of 170,4O2 per-
sons of school age, an increase over
the previous year of over 1000, while
the amount of the balance in the inter-
est and income fund is greater this
year than last by over $50 900 In ad-
dltion to this large distribution of
funds for the common schools, $20,OS0
OF the endowment funds of the insttu-
'ions are being drawn out for loans
This action of the land department
will cut down the total balance in the
treasury department by about $780,
600.

SOUTH DAKOTA AT BOSTON.
She Was Well Represented at Chari-
ties and Corrections Meeting.

SFe was wen HepleSeHNSo dl Shest y
ties and Corrections Meeting.
Sioux Falls-South Dakota was well
represented at the annual meeting OF
the national charities and corrections
meeting at Boston.
The delegates from the Sunshine
state were w. Fl. king of Parker. sec
retaly of the state board of charities
and corrections; \. II. Schlosser, SUI
perintendent of the state industrial
school at Plankinton. and Howard
Simpson, superintendent of the deaf
and dumb school at Sioux Falls.
When reports were read from the
various states of the union, Secretary
King reported as follows for South
Dakota
Mr.. Chairman and Members of the
Conference: We hail from South Da.
kota, the state which has produced
more new wealth per capita annually
during the past ten years than any
other We believe we have smaller
ratio of delinquent, defective and
criminal people than most, if not all
of our sister states.
Since our last report to this confer.
ence we have opened a sanitariuln for
tubercular patients at Custer, in our
beautiful Black Hills district. This in
stltutlon is located at an ATTITUDE of
$500 feet, and the state owns or con-
trolls 640 acres surrounding the site.
Our last legislature provided that all
buildings in which the insane are
housed must be absolutely fire proof
and must provide a room for each pa
tient SKIP with nine-foot ceiling. At
this same session an optional juvenile
court law was passed which prohibits
the publication of names or parties
coming before juvenile courts. Other
progressive measures recently placed
upon our statute books are a law pro-
hlbltlng the sale of cigarettes within
the state, a 8 o'clock closing law for
saloons, law simplifying procedure
OF admission into school for deaf and
blind, and a compulsory education law
for the deaf and blind, a bill permitting
parole of life convicts after they have
served eighteen years of actual time,
also a law permitting the parole of
convicts serving under the indeter-
inmate sentence law.
We are justly proud of South Dako-
ia. While we have not secured all
that we have desired in the way of re-
form measures, we are progressing
nicely"

New Artesian Wells.

Pierre.-Assistant State Engineer S.
r. Green has gone to Nitteberg in
northwestern Stanley county, to make
surveys for locations of several arte-
sian wells which are to be sunk at
township expense. This township is
on the divide between the tributaries
of Bad river and Cheyenne river, and
if the artesian flow can be secured in
that section it will be great benefit
to the western part of the state, where
the question of the flow coming to the
surface has never been tried out.

An attempt to extend the legislative
program of the Democratic majority
in the house at this session of con-
gress failed completely at a caucus
of the Democratic representatives. The
result is reinforced determination Of
the Democrats to confine their legis-
lative efforts at this session to the
tariff
Representative Victor L. Berger of
Wisconsin, Socialist, spoke against
the Underwood wool tariff bill in the
house of representatives. He de-
nounced all forms of tariff as inimical
to labor, but did not advocate the i'm

stand the sudden change.

Shippers Complain.

Pierre.-There is complaint in re-
gard to the workings of the last cattle
inspection law of the state. Under it's
provisions no cattle can be loaded on
cars until they have been inspected
and given a clear health certificate
The principal complaint appears to be
that inspectors cannot be secured
without much delay, especially where
there are but a few head to be in
spected for shipment. OF course,
where the shipments are large the in
spectors are notified in advance and
get around, but where settler wants
to ship a few head he is aften delayed
