"GOVERNOR GULL" SOUND
GOOD.
SOUNDS

Loomis S. Gull, Republican candi-
date for governor, was in the city last
Saturday and spoke to the voters on
the political issues of the day and
furthered his candidacy at the Lyric
in the afternoon of that day. He
spoke in a straight forward way and
talked mostly on his own platform.
He has some very good ideas in his
platform, and if carried out will do a
great deal for South Dakota. He is
a well-appearing man and made many
friends here. He is a common, every
day man and the people will get a
square deal if he is elected to the
office of governor. He is very strong
west of the river and is making
friends fast over the eastern part Of
the State. Governor Gull will sound
good to us.-Woonsocket Times.

BENEFIT TO HOMESTEAOERS

Senate Bill 40. &175 with amend
ment by Congressman Burke, known
as the Gamble bill, passed the House
last Thursday. This is the bill eX.
tending the payments and allowing
homesteaders to make final proof, af.
ter fourteen months continual resi-
dence, the deferred payments to be
paid at the end Of five years, or when
the patents will draw interest at
per cent per annum.
The bill was championed in the
House Of Representatives by Con
gressmen Eben w. Martin and Chas.
II Burke. Upon receiving news of
the bill passing the House, Senator
Robert j. Gamble left Yankton at
once for Washington to champion the
bill in the senate, and there is very
little question but that the bill will
become a law.
The enactment of this bill as a law
will be Of real benefit and in most
cases will prevent the necessity of
many of the homesteaders borrowing
money at a high rate of interest to
prove up in If months.
We believe that this is one of the
best acts of legislation passed by Con-
gress in the interest of our people in
the reservation country and, while of
course, it will be a set back to the
loan companies, it will be of real
benefit to many Of the homesteaders.
If it were not for this law there is
no question but that there would be
many of the homesteaders who would
be compelled to borrow money at a
high rate when they prove up, and
no doubt many of them would be I'M
able to make the payments, and as a
result lose their land, money and
time spent in improving it.
The people of western South Dako-
ia should be proud of their represen-
tatives at the nations capital, and We
trust our people will show their ap-
probation of the firing but effectual
works of Senator Gamble and Con
gressmen Martin and Burke to get
legislation passed in their behalf, by
giving them a united vote for renomi-
nation.-Dupree News.

GOVERNOR APPROVES PLAN

Governor Vessey has addressed the
following letter to Rev. A. d. Stucke-
man expressing his appreciation Of
the work done by Mrs. Sherrard:
Il have just been informed that
the March number of The Children's
Friend is TO be devoted, as a Me-
mortal Number, to the life of Eliza
beth Fl. Sherrard and it Is my desire
at this time to send you a few words
this wonderful character.
The work which has been &C
complished by Mrs. Sherrard is OF
such magnitude that it cannot be
measured, neither the length nor
the breadth; the chain Of her in,
iuence is so far-reaching that it can
not well be estimated, and we realize
that whatever tribute may be paid to
her memory Is but small recognition
OF and trivial compensation for the
noble service she has rendered.

life, her unusual capacity for affec

Washington Wins Again.

Washington won the Great North

artistic exhibit at the Northwestern
Land Products Show recently held
in the Twin City.
Fruits and grains predominated in
the exhibit and were put up by Mr..
and Mrs. M. J. Wesself of Spokane.
Washington. To them is due much
of the credit for this beautiful and
educational exhiit. Mr.. Vessels
"Processed" fruit made big hit.
The fruit was placed in large glass
jars showing the natural color and
exact size. Mrs. Vessels unique
Japanese effect in the decorative
background made of Washington S
grains, received much favorable COM
ment. The fruit, both the process
ed'' and "box" exhibits came from
the various fruit districts of Wash
ington. The educational effect of
this exhibit can hardly be overesti-
mated. The big red apples OF Wash
ington we're in striking contrast to
the fruits of the mid western states.
Thousands of farmers from the mid
west came up to st. Paul to see the
exhibit and would not have believed
that such fruits could be raised in
Washington had they not seen the
actual evidence before them.

Immediately sends and gets some
trees of that variety. In few years
he has some of these apples to put on
the market but to bis surprise the
trade does not take readily to this
new apple. Why? Simply because
no one knows anything about this
apple. This lesson should be learned
from such an incident. The reputa-
tion an apple has is valuable asset
in the selling of it. People do not
like to "buy a pig in a poke. 1t
may be that an apple looks1 we'll but
like some people the good looks is
the principal part of it. How readily
people will buy the Spitzenburg, the
Winesap, the Jonathan or any other
good apple that is we'll known. In
time an apple of real merit will come
into favor but sometimes it takes
years for this to come about. Twelve
or fifteen years ago the Rome Beauty
would not sell any better in some of
the markets than a Ben Davis. That
was true in Seattle but it is far
different now, for the past season this
apple sold very we'll. 1t does not sell
as high as the Spitzenburg, Jonathan
or Winesap but it is such an enormous
bearer that it pays about as we'll as
any of them. My advice to the mex
narienced BEGINNER WOuld be- pIant q
few trees of promising new varieties,
but depend on the varieties that are
we'll known, and you will not go far
wrong.

Educating the Hand.

By Charles E. Cline, Lecturer OH
Industrial Education, State College,
Pullman, Washington.
Before Plato's time, much attention
was given to the education of the
hand as we'll as the head. The great
works of architecture, sculpture and
moral paintings, prove this. But
Plato became the chief exponent of
the thought that all education should
be abstract-of the head and thinking
facilities alone. Following his teach
ings there was a decline and eclipse
of human knowledge until the Dark
Ages swept over the whole world.
Education then was an attempt to
fit the whole number of the educated
for admission to one of the so-called
"learned professions the law,
medicine, the church or pedagogy.
Not more than one per cent of the
people can find place in these pro-
fessions. Hence, such a plan of
education neglected the educational
needs of ninety nine per cent of the
people.
Carlyle said: ''Man without tools
is a savage-is nothing; with them he
is everything. Man is a tool using
animal; he can use tools; he can de-
wise them, with them the granite
mountain melts into dust before him;
he kneads iron as if it were soft
paste; seas are his smooth highways,
and wind and fire his unwearing
steeds. +"
Macaulay in one of his finest periods
shows the value of tools to man. In
Rotterdam, where manual training
has been in use for forty years, the
results show that the boy who spends
one-half of his school day at the
bench keeps pace in mental develop
ment and education with the boy
whose whole school day is spent at
study alone. The recent session of
