GREATEST STORM
IN MANY YEARS
Sweeps Over Middle Western
States To Gulf

Thursday evening the thermometer
started downward, and snow began
falling. As the air thickened up
with clouds and snow a strong wind
began blowing from the northeast,
soon to shift to the north and north
west, whirling snow into drifts. and
through every crack and crevice to
be found on any side of a building.
This continued all day Friday,
and practically doing away with
business. Trains were abandoned,
and people renamed in doors, unless
actually compelled to get out and
battle with the elements. The storm
was assure enough blizzard, and con-
sidered by many to be the wors. ex-
perienced here since the big blizzard
of twenty-five years ago.
The wind quoted down Friday
night. and about 8 a. m. Saturday
morning a snow pillow came through
from the east. clearing the C.. & N.
w. track to Pierre. The first pas
senger came in about II o'clock Sat-
urday, and another followed about l
o'clock bringing 20 SACKS of mail.
1t is difficult to tell just how much
snow fell, because 1T is piled up in
drifts. All east and west wagon
roads are drifted full. while north
and south roads have only occasional
drifts.
The rotary now pillow, not seen
here since the winter of 1866.
passed through Sunday to clear the
track from Pierre 10 Deadwood,
where more snow fell than here, and
packed all cuts full.
The storm extended from Canada
to the gulf. and finished up way
down in Alabama and Georgia, with
three cyclones. which killed over
fifty people and destroyed a great
deal of property.
The Indians, who were in Miller a
couple of weeks ago from FIT.
Thompson and predicted heap big
snow storm, are sure some guessers.
Heap big" is right.

Farmers Will Plant Better Seed
1T is estimated by good authority
that Dakota farmers lost SIS, 900, 600
last season in dockage due to the
presence of weed seed in their
grain" says Manley Champlin, As
sistant Agronomist at the State Col.
Iege. While no n expects this
condition to become perfect. the
seed situation at present shows that
by concentrated effort much good
has already been done and much
more good can be done in the future
The beauty of using good seed is
that the better crop yeild ensuing
costs practically nothing more than
if poor seed had been used and a
poor yield obtained.
From the samples Of seed receiv-
ed by the Agronomy Department of
South Dakota Experiment Station
from farmers for testing. it is plain
that the seed situation in the state
is far better than usual. AS a rule
the samples of alfalfa seed contain
fewer weeds and are terminating
exceptionally well. Small grain
seed including wheat: oats and bar,
ley has rarely failed to test less than
80 per cent. Many samples of corn
have been tested that showed 80 per
cent terminating power or better.
Very few have been less than 80 per
cent. Now this does not mean that
vigilance should be relaxed, but it
does mean that the work done by
the various agencies for the better
ment of agriculture including above
all the farmers themselves. is begin;
ing to take effect and although
there is still room for Improvement,
the signes Of the present season are
encouraging"

MANY DEATHS
IN HAND
Grim Reaper Visits Number o.
Hand County Homes

The Washington Times of last week
contained the obituary notices Of
four men who were at the time of
their death, or had been at one time
residents of Hand County.
Alva Wiser, son of A. B. Wiser.
died Saturday at his home in Wes-
sington from injuries received five
years ago when he was kicked in the
head by a horse. His skull was
slightly fractured and the injury has
always given him more or less trouble
and finally caused his death.
Mr. Wiser lived until recently on
his fathers ranch in Highland twp.
where together they were interested
in raising good horses. He leaves
three small children, his wife having
died several years ago; anu his father
and mother.
Another sudden death was that Of
Marten Winters, the leader of the
Russian colony located in southeast
ern Hand County. Death was caus-
ed by pneumonia.
Thebody of Albert Hanks arrived
in Washington from Rismark, North
Dakota, last Thursday. Mr. Hanks
death seems to be schrouded in myst.
cry. From the very meagre details
at hand it would seem that he was
travelling from the west and some
time before reaching Bismark he be.
came violently insane. He was taken
off at Bismark and locked up, but in
his demented condition managed to
hang himself in his cell. He was an
old resident of Bates township,
George Bryant, a veteran of the

Wtat Others Think

Sunday Morning Sioux Falls
press-State basketball champion
ship will be decided tomorrow when
the high school teams representing
Montrose. Aberdeen, Watertown
and Miller will meet at the touna-
ment at Huron. The arrival of Mil
Ter after the schedule of games was
completed made it impossible to fin,
ish the series yesterday as was ex-
pected.
Huron was eliminated at the hands
of the Salem quintet which defeated
Sioux Falls Friday morning and Sal
EN- dropped out of the running
when Aberdeen defeated it 35 to "a.
Montrose defeated Watertown l6 to

Miller sprung a surprise by defeat
ing Arlington 38 to 81.
Madison and Lake Preston, both
eliminated before, PLAYED an exhibit
ton game which was lost to Lake
Preston 25 to Is.
1t is generally conceded that the
pennant will be fought for by Aber-

Twelve of the fastest teams in the

At no time during the game was
Arlington closer than 2 points to

DID ABERDEEN
WIN CLEAR TITLE?
Miller Given No Chance at Basket
Ball Meet

The state basket ball tournament
FOR high school teams was played at
Huron Friday and Saturday, and the
championship for 1918 was awarded
to Aberdeen-perhaps because Mil
Ter had no chance to compete in the
finals.
The snowstorm OIL Thursday night
and Friday stopped all trains on the
c. & N. w. main line until Saturday
afternoon. Miller's team expected
to be in Huron at 800 Friday morn
ing, but had to wait till Saturday
afternoon for a train.
When they did arrive they were
admitted to the tournament and
scheduled for a game with Airing
ton. They beat Arlington 80 to 80.
and then, whoever had charge ap-
pesred to cut them out and give
them no further chance. Some one
may have got cold feet.
Aberdeen won four games, and
her hardest fight was with Arlington,
25 to 26. So that Miller put up a
better game with darlington than
Aberdeen did. Miller's claim for a
leading position in the state are
based upon her victories oyer Red
field. Salem, Blunt, Highmore. AL
pena and Arlington.
1t was Miller's misfortune that
the storms interfered with train
service-and 1t may have been Aber-
deems good fortune.
The local team. composed of Con.
rers, Schroeder, Erb, Carroll. and
Spain, were accompanied to Huron
by Professor Van Walker and a
number of citizens. The boys put
up a fast and classy game with Ar.
lington, and won on their merits IS
TO 81. 1t was generally pronounced
the best game of the the tourney.
Offers were made to play Aberdeen
then or at any other time, but there
was nothing doing.
Now the question is, will Aberdeen
meet Miller at Huron any time this
month?

THREE TEMPE SCHOOLS
 OPEN THIS MORNING
Education Once More Reigns Su- Preme-First Assembly of Stu dents at High, Grammar
 and ndTrainng Schools
 Nine O'Clock.

School days are once again a thing of the present in Tempe, the Nor maj Training school, Tempe Union school and grammor schools open for their winter term of work at 9 o'clock this morning. That the 1913- l4 year will set a new mark in at tendance in Tempe is readily Vouched for by instructors in every one of the local institutions. Repairs and improvements to buildings. the new free text book system, additions to the curriculum, additional instructors, and increased attendance at every school in Tempe, all goes to show that the little city of churches and schools is not falling behind the world.
 At the Union High school strides were never made towards improve ment so rapidly as they have this summer. Chief among the additional features to the exterior of the build ing comes the new athletic field and grandstand. At one time prac- tically every member of the high school board rigidly opposed athletics in the school, in fact. they took rather stringent means to discoura ge indulgence in athletics. Yet now. just as strongly do they favor q movement to an opposite end they have reached the conclusion that through setting q standard whereby every student must achieve a certain mark in his studies better work is received from this class than any other set of students in the school.
