BIRD MEN AT STATE FAIR

The greatest aviation meet in the
west will be featured at the coming
South Dakota State Fair. The Cur
tiss flyers have been secured at great
price, and will soar high above the
grounds every day of the fair. The
management is making a great effort
to secure the famous Lincoln Beechy,
whose recent flight over Niagara Falls
was the sensation of the year. Beechy
is n of the most daring birdmen in
the world-he flies over mountains
and anywhere, high in the air, beyond
the sight of man.
The Curtiss people have inspected
the grounds and estimate that nothing
should hinder them from making re-
cord breaking flights and this they
are planning to do. For real daring
and sensational interest, nothing can
compete with this feature.
Nothing is too good or too expensive
for South Dakota, and the very fact
that this feature will be presented al
our fair places the South Dakota fail
among the few great expositions al
thetop of the list. The great reputa
ton of the Curtiss flyers limits their
operations to the greatest fairs only.
On Monday, the first day of the
fair, there will be an exciting a C be.
tween tie aeroplane and an automobile.
No d can afford to miss this contest
between land and air locomotion
The educational value of this aviation
meet can not be overstimated, and not
to Set it is to sustain a tremendous
loss.

Bert Shearer returned last week
from a visit to the old home in Illinois.
He says this has been a bad year in
South Dakota, but he was glad to get
back for our condition here is nothing
compared to that in some sections of
Illinois. Mr.. Shearer still owns the
old farm in illinois. The man on
that farm usually has eight cans of
milk to sell every day at this time of
the year. At this time he is selling
only three cans from the usual num-
Der of cows. The COWS are in the
barn and on dry feed. The milk is
not paying the cost Of the feed con-
sumed. Hay is worth $lSa ton and
other feed in preparation. Small
grain crops were poor and the pros
pect OF a corn crop way below the
average, and all this on land valued
at from two to three times the price
of our land. But all this is nothing
against the Illinois land; it simply
shows that no locality is good every
year. There are drawbacks to every
section of the country, and occasion
ally there are crop failures. South
Dakota is as good as any of them, and
when adversely strikes the farmin g
interests, our resourceful soil and
climate makes conditions easier for
the farmers than many other sec
tions.
Rev. CIV. Elliott, of Brookings,
was in this city Friday looking at resi-
dence property with a view of pur-

he did not decide definitely at that

manufacture of his farm traction en-.

e. j. Read returned Monday from
a three months visit at his old home
in England. 1t has been nineteen
years since a former visit and he says
a great change has taken place since
that time. He states that at his former
visit farming especially was behind
the times. Old methods were follow
ed and the machinery used was way
behind. Up.to-date machinery is
now used but such conveniences as
the telephone, electric lights, etc, are
little used. He had an enjoyable
trip but was glad to get back home.

CHAMBERLAIN RESIGNS

The Bookings Register has the
following to say regarding the resig-
nation of Prof. Chamberlain, director
of farmers institutes for several years
past:
A. h. Chamberlain, of this city, has
resigned as superintendent of farmers
institutes of South Dakota, to accept
a position with the Hill railway lines.
He will be what might be termed a
development commissioner of tic
roads and will have charge of the
campaign of agricultural education
which James j. Hill has been carry
ing on for years for the benefit of the
farmers in the country tributary TO
his great lines. The position Of
course, carries a big increase in pay
as we'll as an enlarged field OF work.
Mr.. Chamberlain is the best super
intendent of Institutes that the state
has ever had and has made his de-
partment a potent force in the up.
building and the betterment Of the
farm communities of the state, and
in his departure South Dakota loses
one of its strongest men. The de-
parture OF the family from Brookings
Is sincerely regretted by our people.
MIR. Chamberlain left last night for
ST. Paul to take up his new work and
was accompanied by Ber Lawshe who
will be his private secretary. Mr..
Chamberlain has rented a house in
Minneapolis, two blocks from the
state university, which the two
daughters and q son will attend.
The family will move 10 Minneapolis
