WHITE E,

From the Leader.
The body of Matthias Heiser, whose
death occurred March 9Th, was taken
to Elkton Saturday, where interment
took place after services in the
Catholic church at that place. He
was born in Germany, and was
eighty four years old. For several
years he had lived with his nephew,
John Heiser, at whose home he died.
He had never been married.
With this issue We bid farewell to
the readers of the Leader, having
sold the paper to Mr.. Earl d. Robin
son of Pierre. We heartily thank
those whose patronage has been CIV
en- us. Special thanks are due our
faithful correspondents. We bespeak
for Mr.. Robinson a continuance of
the favors shown us. Mr.. Robinson
is experienced in all phases of pub
fishing and printing. He has worked
in the Offices of some Of the leading
towns OF the state, including Water
town, Redfield and Pierre, and Is
we'll qualified to make the Leader a
winner. He Is deserving of and we
trust will receive a generous sup
port.

From the Herald:
The time Of the year has arrived
when the farmers playtime will end
and seeding will occupy the next few
weeks, as the small grain will first
need attention and then the corn
ground will have to be got ready for
the seed. Potato planting will be no
small matter with several as a large
crop will probably be planted, pota-
toes having proved a very profitable
crop to raise.

VOLGA,

From the Tribune:
While a number of west side farm
ers attended the session of the insti-
tute at Brookings last week the at
tendance was not as large as it
should be. Another year arrange
ments should be made to have an
institute at Volga. The institute
corps visited many towns no larger
than Volga and there is no reason
why we should not have this privil-
eye if the proper effort is put forth.

S. n. Sveen farm in Olso township,
was very ~agreeably surprised last

and neighbors dropping in to spend
the evening-the occasion also being
a surprise to Mrs. Evenson. 1t will
be remembered that Alfred had the
misfortune to mash one hand quite
severely in a corr shredder last fall,
and before the guests departed for
their homes they presented him with
a purse Of nearly $40 as a token of
the esteem in which he is held by his
n%eighbors and friends. The guests
came literally supplied with lunch
baskets, and altogether a most en-
joyable evening was passed.

THE CHICAGO GIRL S FEET

DR.. |. j. Refs of Chicago became
irate, at a meeting of the National
Chiropodists Association at Chicago
a few days ago, over the time honored
joke about the Chicago girls large
feet. His moustache quivered with
anger while he denounced this myth
as fabrication.
Really, though why should Dr. Refs
or anyone else care, even if it can
be proved that the Chicago girl, or
any other girl, has large feet?
The idea that small feet are an
essential part of a woman's equip
ment for beauty dates back to an eX-
ploded feminine ideal, when girl was
vine like creature nesting under
the shelter OF Man. When she sat
on the porch and made cross stitch
pillow covers, served four o'clock tea.
and looked languisning, the small foot
was an essential element. 1t indicat-
ed physical inferiority, and won ad.
miration, just as the helpless little
child will win more admiration than
the sturdy and self reliant boy of a
greater age.
Today who will maintain that there
is beauty in physical inferiority2
When % per cent of the women are
fitting themselves to bang al typewrit-
ers all day, to teach domestic arts, to
serve the sick in hospitals, the ma.
jority of them must be on their feet
much of the time.
Under this strain, the time will
come when the woman with tiny feet
will be regarded much like a beautiful
house with a frail under-pinning, as
disproportionate. inharmonious.
Foot binding as practised in China
has long been scorned as barbarism
Yet the practise of wearing pointed
shoes by both women and men, is the
same thing, often painful and enfee
bling
What agonies the girl with a six
sized shoe has undergone in past
years. she approached the shoe store
to he fitted as if she were being haul

turptude. Happily for her saner
Is coming.
The normal foot for men is prob
ably about an eight size. As the
average female hight can only be
about 10 per cent below the normal
male hight, it is likely that from the
view point Of strict proportion, a six
size shoe is little below the normal
for women instead of above.
