A fire broke out last Friday af-

A fire broke out last Friday af-
ternoon in the barn of Frank Ca
ba 3 miles north of town, which
spread to the adjoining chicken
coop and both structures were to-
tally destroyed. At that time Mr..
Caba and wife we're in Tabor shop
ping and receiving a telephone call
that their barn is on fire they hur-
ried home and found nothing but
the smoldering remains of the
barn and coop. 1t is believed thst
their 4-years old boy got some
matches and struck them in the
barn thus causing the fire. The
damage is over $1,000, as several
machines near the barn were des-
troyed by the flames, as also seve-
raj harness, hay in the hay loft
and other smaller hand implements
which were in the barn. The pro-
perty was insured in the Bohe-
milan Farmers Mutual ms. Co.
of this county. Mr.. Caba has
commenced on the erection of new
buildings on the sites of those des-
troyed and Frank Carda is doing
the carpenter work.

raj school in the county twice dur
ing the school year. In the past
five and One-half years the supe-
rintendent has made an average of
over eleven visits to each school
in the county.
1t can be truthfully said that
this has been the best year in the
history of the rural schools of this
county. On an average the pupils
have been in charge of the best
corps of teachers they have ever
had, and they have made on an
average far more progress than
during any other year. OF course
some teachers have not given salts
faction : a few have been justly
criticised, but more have been un,
justly critised. 1t would be folly
to expect universal satisfaction
That will never be attained until
the Millennium has come not till

Mr.. Stanley Kramar. Two of the

board of this district has offered a
cash prize of $500 each for the
pupils who succeed in completing
the eighth grade.
Any eighth grade pupils who

We frequently hear complaint
about the heavy cost of school
books. The following facts shown
by the records of the auditor of
this county should relieve every
fair-mined man and woman of all
worry on this subject. The books
used by all the rural schools and
about half the town schools of the
county are ordered by county au-
ditor and distributed to the va
rious stores that sell them. The
auditors records show that during
the past five years there has been
ordered by the county school
books to the amount of $4754.36.
At the time of the last annual set
Element ION Jan. 31st 1912 with
the book stores there were over
$3.50 worth of books on hand.
Very few books are sold after that
date and before Sept. 1st. So it
is very safe to say that not more
than $4,000 worth of books have
been sold for use in the rural and
town schools using the adopted
books the past five years. Allow
ing for the 10 per cent profit
which the bookstores receive for
handling the total cost of these
books to the parents of the child
rem was not more than $4400 for
the entire county for five years.
The records of the county superin
tendent's office of this county show
that the average enrolment of the
schools of the county each year is
about 29O0 pupils. POO of these
are enrolled in the rural schools
and about one half of those of the
town schools use the regularly
adopted books, making a total of
25OO pupils in Bon Homme coun-
ty who have been supplied with
text books the past five years for
S44OO. This means that average
cost per pupil for text books in
this county for five years has been
S1.75 or an average 35c. per pu-
pill per year. To many this may
seem almost unbelievable. But
nevertheless it is fact as shown
by the records of the county. OF
course this does not include pen
ellis, scratch paper, tablets etc.
With the exception of two short
term schools which ire located q
long way from Tyndall and which
closed very early, the county SUI
perintendent has visited every ru-

The Yankton May Festival of
Music occurs Monday and Tues
day, May 9th and 2Sth. The
Yankton Choral Union, Professor
L. N. Daily of Yankton C~onserva-
tory conducting, with the Minnea-
polls Symphony Orchestra, Emil
Oberhoffer conducting, assisted y
able soloists, will give three grand
concerts, a choral program, a sym
phony concert, and an operate
program. This festival has come
to be an annual event in Yankton,
the result of a notable example of
public spirit the benefits of which
reach not only her own citizens
but the people of a large circle of
towns about, many of whom are
not slow to avail themselves of the
rare musical opportunities offered
on these occasions.
1t is not a mOney-making
scheme. Last year citizens of
Yankton pledged the necessary
guarantee fund of $500, making
up the deficit of two or three hund
red dollars which occurred. Again
this year guarantor have given the
enterprise financial backing neces-
sary to bring forces together for
a brilliant festival season. This is
a sort of a civic pride and loyalty
worthy of emulation.

Corn and Corn Growing
Essay Written by FredOIph Hedman
who Won 1st Premium, at the
Contest for Boys Ove IL years
OF Age on Hill Section

In the year of 1912 | ment to have a
field of corn. Before school was out
our teacher told us she had received a
letter from the County Superintendent
of Schools asking how many boys
would like to be a member of a Corn
Contest. and | joined the Contest.
After school was out | tried my very
best to prepare a field for my corn.
The field was very loamy. The first
thing | did | fertilized the field then |
disced it SO the fertilizer wasmixed up
with the loan and then plowed the
field eve inches deep and immedia ate
~ disced it af er the blowing, so as to
keep the moisture in the ground.
sent for some bulletins to The EX-
pertinent Station at Washington.
one of the bulletins subject was a
more profitable corn planting method,
and the best way to plant the corn
was kernal space checking. That is
To plant the corn in square three and
a half to our feet apart. Then plac-
ing the kernals from five to ten inches
squares.
TO make this kind of planter take a
board seven inches Squar and make
four holes. five inches square THE
holes do not need to be very large
When this is lone make a hole in the
board to put a handle in so you can
carry the planter from one hill to
another. Then | took a stick about a
foot long and cut one end so is to fit
into the holes of the planter. This
stick made the holes with in the
ground and dropped the corn in the
holes about two and a half inches
deep.
When the corn is young it should
be cultivated very deep and as near
the plant as possible, theu when it is
five or six inches tall the weeds be-
tween the plants will not get a chance
to grow.
IRON the time when the corn is six
inches until it tassels it is the weak
est n is cry easily broken off.
From the time it tassels it begins to
get a little stronger, and two weeks
latter after silking the pith begins to
dry and forms strings from one ring
to the other. Then when the corn is
ripe it is very strong.
there are too many talks in
one hill there are only one Or two
stalks that a produce an ear and
the rest will fall down, and some will
only produce a small ear. IF Their
y are three stalks to the hill the cal
will be OF more equal size.
Corn IS very easy to raise if it is
kept clean when it is growing.
