DIVISION IS TALKED OF

Western South Dakota is facing
the prospects of two very lively coun-
ty division contests within the next
few months. At Faith the boosters
Of that Meade county town are wag-
ing an active campaign for the divis-
ion of Meade county into three parts,
and the consequent replacement on
the map Of old Delano county, which
was never organized, and was merg-
ed with Meade county a number of
years ago.
The Faith people argue that Meade
county, which is now the largest in
South Dakota, is too unwieldly for
effective administration of county af-
fairs, when some residents of the
county have to travel more than 100
miles overland to reach Sturgis, the
county seat.
The other division project is in
Perkins county, whore Lennon, on
the Milwaukee railroad and the most
important town in the county, has
not altogether recovered from its
chagrin at being defeated for county
seat honors few years ago by Bison,
an inland town. Bison is near the
center of the county, while Lennon
is we'll to one side.

can afford to resign. He has done
