the holding is tn at to make payment

that while in this ease the state no
doubt secured value for the amount

case as an issue, as the whole power
TO contract for such work is invalid
under the constitutional provision

The claim amounts to several thou

MISS REEVES, RECITAL.

The following item from the Atch-
inson, (Kans.l Daily Champion is of
interest to Mitchell people as it con-
Germs the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
c. e. Reeves of this city: {.
Miss Helen Reeves delighted a
large number of musical people last
night Gully - at the L~oudenback
school of music when she gave her
second program of the year. Miss
Reeves is Prof. Loudenback's first as
sistant and is a very talented girl.
She showed remarkable skill and
splendid Interpretation. Her selec-
ton of program was also particularly
happy as 1T was greatly varied. Miss
Reeves showed remarkable develop
ment since her last program. The
middle movement of the Beethoven
Sonata was particularly good and
music lovers are still talking of how
we'll it was given by the young art
list. A delicate touch, SO much in evil
dence in all of Miss Reeves work was
displayed to great advantage in "The
Prophet Bird" from Schumann. Her
appreciation of color was shown in
the Debussy number. The grand eli
max was reached in the Concerust-
ueck from Weber, in which the bril-
lancy of handling was remarkable.
Miss Reeves will be heard from in the
piano world. She was presented with
many beautiful flowers from her club
girls, the class members and friends.

OUR BIG 0 CROP.

The July list crop report by the
department of agriculture reflects
the slump in the condition. of spring
wheat in South Dakota. by giving
the condition as 60, compared with
81 June 1, and 83, July J.. 1912, and
So, the ten-year. average. This Illus
trates the danger of raising wheat,
when there a be a drop from 81
to so in thirty days.
However, South Dakota has the
consolation of knowing that corn is
the big crop now for this state. And
the condition of corn could hardly
be more promising. The acreage in
corn in South Dakota, according to
the government report is Jos per
cent of that Of last year. The condi-
ton on july. !, was 90, as compared
with the ten-year average of So. Only
one other state in the union shows
corn so good as SO. South Dakota
now ranks 18th among the states in
corn acreage, with a total of O.
$4,000 acres. This should produce
La crop Of between 70,00O,00O and
$4,000, 900 bushels, if corn natures
in as good condition as it now enjoys.
This would be by far the largest corn
crop yer produced in the state. In
asmuch as a large part of this will be
converted into live stock, it mean
much more to the state than even a
wheat crop such as was promised on.
June LIST.
The country over, the aggregate
crop production will fall considerably
below that of 1912, so higher prices
should prevail. In every instance the
total yield of the various grains will
be smaller than last year.
The big loss compared with a year
ago is in oats. which promise a yield
of 1881, 900. 900 bushels, against L.
AIS, 900 ,o00, bushels a year ago. Corn
is short 1874 ,ooo. 900 bushels and the
total wheat crop is 2%9.O0o,Oo0 bush
els less than last year. Barley is &c.
000. 900 bushels less than a year ago
at 1855, 900, 900 bushels.
Spring wheat promises to yield
liz, 0Oo 900 bushels less than a year
ago, with an indicated crop of 21S,-
100000 bushels. Winter wheat will
be 49, 100000 bushels heavier at
bushels. the total wheat
crop being 7O1,OO,0o0 bushels, COM
pared with 7so, 100000 bushels as
finally estimated in 1912.
The first report on corn for the
season. shows a high condition. 500,
but the acreage Is smaller than last
year at LOG. Ss4,OOO acres.
Last year the corn acreage was
los. 100000 acres and the condition
July i was SIS. The crop promise
on that date was for no larger crop
than at present, although the final
estimate OF the crop was 3.125,0O0,-
900 bushels, while the report issued
suggests a harvest of 81
971, 100000 bushels. or $4,000 900
bushels less than in 1912.
In the big surplus corn states of
the. middle west the outlook is for a
yield of 1,71s.0O0.0 900 bushels. This
compares with 1898, 100000 bushels
