Hansen Still Planting Alfalfa.
Pierre.-Prof N. f. Hansen Of the
state agricultural college was in this
city on his way to Sansarc, Stanley
county. to work his machine for trans.
planting alfalfa. and he will work in
that section until the weather stops
operations. Prof. Hansen is working
to the ultimate end of covering the
western port Of South Dakota with
alfalfa, and the plants he is working
with now are natives of Siberia,
where they grow under conditions
which are similar to those of western
South Dakota, with the exceptions
that the degrees of heat and cold are
greater, and the rainfall less than
here. In the section where the plants
are native they are subject to sum
mer heat as high as no. and winter
cold to "A below zero, with an annual
average rainfall of six inches. 1t is
with alfalfa, which is native of such a
section, that Prof Hansen believes
that he can cover the prairies of the
western half of this state, and make
the land worth many times what II
will bring on the market at the pres.
ent time.

J. Marion Culbreth, assistant general
secretary of the Epworth Leagues of

the Cloverport Chapter Wednesday af-
ternoon and night. The key to a sue
cessful League was given in the insti-

dinsburg and all over this old earth.
1ost Important Meeting.
For the benefit Of the Epworth
Leagues in other places who will not
have t ie fortune of hearing DR.. Gull
breth, few notes from his address
and his suggestions are given as fol-
lows: First, DIR. Culbreth said that the
most important meeting of the Epwortn
League is the Council meeting. He
said this should meet every month at
the homes, beginning at the parsonage
followed as in order of the officers.
The occasion should be spiced with
sociability and even serve refreshments
If convenient. Then Investigation OF
all plans for the Chapter work should
be made and program made in full
for the business meeting.
The Second Department.
The Charity and Help Department of
which Miss Jeanette Burn is presi-
dent. was dwelt upon and the posi-
bilities it presents are tremendous. DIR.
Culbreth said that this department
should investigate every crime that
happens in Cloverport, all intemper-
ance, the schools and the condition of
the homes of the poor. Further, that
the League ought to look after the col
ored people of the town and sec that
they are living the best life domestic
ally and religiously.
The Missionary Department.
The Fourth Vice President, who is
Mrs. John A. Ross of this city, felt the
thrill of enthusiasm that DR.. Culbreth
cast over the Leaguers in his talk
about the missionary department. He
said three things to make this success
full are necessary: Information, Giving
and Go. An eight weeks study class Is
the foundation for perfect fourth de-
partment. DIR. Culbreth said that these
classes should be attended with the
wish that one person might be called
from the Chapter to go to the foreign
field-and that each one who attended
would be rather anxious for the call to
come to him. He said that more are
needed at home, but many are needed
now in Cuba to carry on Gods work.
The Cuban Pledge.
DIR. Culbreth explained why Miss
Leonora McGavock and Miss Mildred
Babbage have been working so hard TO
get $50 to pay the League Mission
pledge. This pledge is to convert Cuba,
and the Epworth League has UNDER
taken the task and it will cost not less
than $4,000. The Epworth League of
