ALFALFA GROWERS MAKE GooI

ALFALFA GROWERS MAKE GOOD
No crop has been given greater at
tention in the western part of South
Dakota the past few years than alfalfa.
The acreage in this crop is being con-
tinually increased, and the northwestern
part of Stanley county is becoming one
of the alfalfa districts of the state
largely due to the work in that line by
Dan Bierwagen, who has devoted much
time for years in experiments along
lines which will develop what are the
best crops for that portion of the state.
Another resident there who early took
up the growing of alfalfa was Charles
Haxby, and his crop of alfalfa seed this
year will be fully thousand bushels.
which will bring him about eight dollars
/ bushel at the present market price,
and assures him good income for his
farming operations from that source
alone.

i that historic emotional kiss" the
boy and the girl students Of the high

strike from the classrooms the other
day and paraded the streets, an
nouncing that they were out to stay
until Principal Roy Leon Smith was
reinstated.
Only those students who feared the
parental slipper remained and 1t is
expected they will also go out later.
There were eighty odd in the demon
strating procession and they made
more noise than five times that
number Of men would have done.
While they were marching along
they came upon Samuel R. Smith,
president of the board Of education
and shouted to him that they wanted
Principal Smith back. President
Smith says some boys not only shook
their fists at him but insulted him
In other ways. The girls chorused.

DITTSBURG.-While the theme OF
teaching love In the public schools
has been bruited by theorists. ma
terialists Of the Margaret Morrison
Carnegie School for Women have been
arranging practical course for
brides, and have announced that 1t
would be added to the curriculum this

It is explained in emphatic terms
that the new classes are in no way
devised to encourage elopements. and
that only young women twenty lone
years or older will be admitted.
In considering the question of in
structing young wives in the serious
side OF matrimony. the faculty has Sc

members minds to add to post-nuptial
happiness. bring contentment to hus-
bands. lessen milliners' and dress

item Of well cooked food is generally
considered the most important OF all.
Miss Dorothy B. Scott. assistant
registrar of the school. explains that
newlyweds will be taught all the diet
airy and culinary frills calculated to
make young men forget the cooking OF
their mothers.
She also says the hours Of instruc-
ton will be SO arranged that they
will not interfere with the home life
or encroach upon the evening hours
when husband and wife want. or
